My husband and I are both photographers, so needless to say, photography was a top priority for our…read morewedding day. I had followed Regina years before our engagement, because I admired her work. So when the time came, she was at the top of our list and one of the first people we contacted. As soon as I met Regina in person at our first meeting, I knew I was going to hire her. Not only was she the sweetest person ever, and we connected on so many levels. But she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about so many other vendors. She had photographed at our venue before, and actually showed us a set-up a previous couple had used in our space, which we ended up using as well. This helped so much because we weren't sure how to set it up previously. The vendor recommendations on her website were also insanely helpful. We booked our Event Coordinators and Hair & Make-up artists (both of which were awesome) because of those recommendations. We live in Washington, but our wedding was in Tampa Bay. We were lucky enough to have Regina come out to Washington to shoot our engagement photos. They came out INCREDIBLE! As photographers we're not used to being in front of the camera, and were a little nervous, but she made the shoot so much fun and effortless. She was amazing on our wedding day as well, helping us pick our locations for photos, and making the whole day stress free. She fit right in with our friends and family, and it felt like we had another friend with us all day. Most of my bridal party said they want to be BFFs with her in real life (us included.) I really can't say enough good things about Regina. She is insanely talented and wonderful. We love all of our photos so much and felt so lucky to have her around on such a big day. What are you waiting for? HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!

Her communication and guidance throughout the entire process was so reassuring and calming. She's fun, sweet and so full of life.

Thank you again for everything, Regina!

My husband and I had Richard Harrell Photography take our engagement photos in November 2011 and…read morewere very pleased with our photos! Richard instantly made us feel at ease even though we have never had professional pictures taken. He was able to pose me and my husband so that he could capture our best angles. My husband was not thrilled about taking engagement photos, but Richard was able to get my husband to enjoy the shoot... a miracle!!! By the end of the shoot my husband was practically strutting for the camera! We had our photo shoot at The University of Tampa and Richard took about 200 shots around the campus (we made a quick "costume change" in the middle of the shoot). We go tons of creative, romantic shots that I will treasure always. The service was professional, prompt, and most importantly: affordable. Some photographers use out-of-date cameras, but Richard Harrell uses only the best. I highly recommend other couples to seek their photography needs from Richard Harrell. They take wedding pictures, engagement photos, family portraits and more throughout the Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, Palm Beach, Miami area.

Nina was spot on with her directions and ideas for posing. She made everyone so comfortable with having their photos taken, everything looked very naturally beautiful and not forced at all. I can't decide if I'm more obsessed with the intentional or candid photos! I would highly recommend Nina to anyone wanting to capture special moments and have stunning photos taken.

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.

After going through the whole wedding process, she was our best vendor selection, and we couldn't have been happier with our selection.

We didn't know we could look that good! She made the whole process on the wedding day so easy, listened to our ideas, and gave us great recommendations. On the wedding day, all of our family and friends commented on how great she was. She did great to keep us on schedule while allowing us to enjoy the day. Our pictures made our family cry and are truly magical. Shiree was really great, and you can tell she loves what she does. I would highly recommend Shiree for any wedding.
