We hired Jose to do our engagement our pictures and wedding day pictures along with his wife Kristen, to play the harp for our ceremony. I have nothing but good things to say about this duo. Jose is such a nice person and easy to get along with especially if you’re a shy kind of person. He makes you photogenic even if you feel you’re usually not. He gave us both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures back within a week edited, and they all looked so beautiful. He was very low key at our wedding and really appreciated all the great moments he was able to catch. His wife Kristen also plays the harp beautifully. It made our ceremony look so much more elegant. Thank you guys for everything and will be using you guys again in the future. Would recommend to everyone! ♥️

Dramatic. Unique. Artistic.

As professional wedding photographers in the Tampa Bay Area we strive to achieve the “wow” of a client’s wedding day by photographing in a creative style. Creative style photos are one of our signature images that we include on every wedding, big or small. These images are the ones you imagine hanging proudly on your walls, or on the cover of your wedding album...the ones that draw inspiration from wedding ads, magazines and trend on social media. Our creative style incorporates movement, creative lighting, and storytelling while blending a couple and their environment.

Our Creative Style focuses on:

Capturing vivid, fashioned poses.
Using environmental and architectural elements.
Incorporating dramatic lighting and creative angles.
Elaborate hand editing.

We will hand edit these images, often taking up to an hour to perfect a single image. These photographs will offer a dramatic flair, while also capturing the beauty of the venue, the details, and the wardrobe. We work on getting the right angles, lighting, and backgrounds to make these photographs look their best and will produce high-end, one of a kind images that will take your breath away. Take a look at some samples below:

Couldn't have imagine our day without Jose. Absolutely amazing! Jose is wonderful and we couldn't imagine our day with out him. His skills are amazing, his photos are absolutely beautiful, but most importantly he is so easy to be comfortable with. Anxiety is high already on your wedding day and Jose is calming while also making you feel beautiful. He takes notice in the small details and captures parts of the day.

Elegant. Natural. Beautiful.

Blending in conventional captures is equally as important. All of those planned details and scheduled moments cannot be overlooked or forgotten. Typically, we will use natural light and artificial light photography techniques to capture photos that will stand the test of time...we are masters at this! Even when the lighting is low or the setting is not ideal, we are experts in using artificial and environmental light to ensure we capture your day accordingly. You can expect images such as photographs of the wedding details, posed photos with family and wedding party, and other classic captures that you would normally expect.

Our Timeless Wedding Photography Style incorporates:

Capturing crisp and clean images.
Using natural light or artificial light (on and off camera flash).
Keeping the real, natural colors of your day.
Unscripted, posed, and formal shots.

This style of photography is will stand the test of time. In other words, your wedding photos won’t be cheesy on your 5, 10, 20 year anniversary. Our Timeless style involves more planning on our part to make sure we get the shot we need. We will often adjust a pose, pause a moment, or gather groups of people together. Most of these images are what our couples select for their wedding albums. Take a look at some samples below:

I worked with Photo Harp Weddings for my engagement photos and wedding photos, and during that time this team displayed nothing short of excellence and professionalism. Jose and Kristen were organized, prompt and communicative in addition to their amazing photography skills/prowess. Jose was open to ideas from this amateur photography and I think it only strengthened our interactions. I would absolutely recommend them.

Candid. Emotional. Photojournalistic.

We also use a documentary approach to your day. It essentially means that we are going to take the time to get to know our couples on a deeply personal level which will helps us to identify the moments that are important to them. It also helps us to understand what pieces of their day will evoke rich emotion, and especially, what memories are worth preserving. Our documentary style of photography captures even the small moments that sometimes occur in between more significant moments.

Our Documentary Style focuses on:

Capturing moments from different points of view.
Triggering powerful memories.
Noticing what others may not have seen.
Candid, unguarded moments.

Sometimes, while the couple are cutting the cake, the parents are quietly stealing a kiss in the background. Likewise, while the maid of honor gives her toast, the bride's tears may be creating the perfect portrait to capture such an emotional day. This style ensures that those moments that make memories get documented. As professional photographers, we will have our cameras ready to shoot through all the critical moments. Our experience allow us to be ready and continue photographing even when you may think the moments may be over, but we'll be ready to capture the unexpected, the rare, and the beautiful.

When we approached Jose we had a few strange requests and my fiancé was a bit apprehensive about getting professional photos done in general, but Jose not only made us both feel so comfortable he really leaned into every idea we had and enhanced our ideas with his expertise. He’s got such a great eye, was so flexible, so FAST with taking the photos and editing, (also he’s so great at nighttime outdoor photos which was so important for me), he was professional and also fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better and stress free experience. Book Hoyos Photo Harp for your family, engagement, wedding, event—just everything!
