The photographer is incredibly patient and professional, yet makes the session feel fun and natural -- no stiff poses, no "say cheese" nonsense. The photos themselves are amazing. Every shot captures genuine smiles and personality, whether it's a family session, a beach backdrop, or just everyday moments. You leave with images that look effortless but feel full of character. From start to finish, the experience is smooth and enjoyable. The staff make you feel comfortable, guide you through poses naturally, and ensure the end result is something you'll actually want to display. Highly recommend for anyone wanting professional photos without the awkwardness of a traditional studio.

I cannot emphasize enough the photographic skill and creativity of Richel Lavette. I recently…read morehosted a once-in-a-lifetime fraternity "Chartering" event that included both an early afternoon initiation, as well as a 190 person celebratory banquet including dinner, numerous guest speakers and awards to be presented. She handled both events professionally and with a great eye for framing, lighting and spontaneity. Richel Lavette is the consummate professional photographer. Her skill set includes image set up, proper lighting, images that tell a story, taking charge of large group photos with incredible tact, and looking for the small details that make a good image even better. Ms. Lavette can see what others do not. Her experience, and speed in finding the right images tell an unparalleled story. She requires initial input from the client, and once she understands the priorities, Richel can work independently with little to no supervision. But, beyond her obvious skills as a photographer, she has a strong work ethic and is always ready to capture a spontaneous moment that some photographers simply do not see. Her people skills are outstanding, and is always encouraging people to smile, and have fun while being photographed. Her greatest skills? The ability to listen, interpret, and deliver spectacular results. Lavette Photo Studios is an excellent photo studio, and I give Richel, and her studio my highest recommendations. She earned it.

While I am sure Jon will just respond with his copy & paste answer to other clients' feedback, I…read morehope that sharing our experience will help other couples exercise caution when looking for a wedding photographer in the Tampa (& surrounding) areas. We booked with Jon back in September of 2023 for our October 2024 wedding. Unfortunately, three weeks to the date, Hurricane Helene destroyed our wedding venue. This resulted in the VENUE canceling our wedding. Jon has been nothing but difficult to work with regarding this situation & the contract we have with him. His contract CLEARLY states in Section 3: "All other payments made are refundable upon client providing proof of the wedding cancellation from wedding venue or contracted event planner." We sent Jon a screenshot from our wedding venue refunding us our money due to the hurricane to showcase that the VENUE was the reason for our cancellation, as this clearly was not our (the client's) choice. Jon telling his clients the reason for no refunds is due to the cancellation being within 30 days of the event is invalid as his contract states point blank that payments are nonrefundable only if the CLIENT is to cancel the event. We have tried to call & email Jon numerous times with no luck with him answering. My fiancé & I are extremely understanding & understand that Hurricane Helene impacted not only us but our wedding vendors as well. With that being said, we expect a certain level of professionalism and consideration from the vendors we are giving our money to & Jon has not showcased that or honored the terms of his contract.
