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 helped me tremendously in the planning, gave me a rain date incase out date didn't work out with weather, showed me a similar shoot she had just done which was an engagement on the beach so I got an idea what I was going to be getting, and she was super personable and friendly which made it so easy. Now for the day of, she did such an amazing job keeping in touch with me and with being early and set up on the beach. I brought my fiancé out and she had no idea Nina was shooting us from beginning to end. It was awesome! She captured every moment and once we got that out of the way Nina came up and introduced herself and had us do some poses that came out incredible in the photos! She was so friendly, outgoing and so easy to work with. My fiancé can be shy around new people in situations like this but Nina made us feel so comfortable she loved every second us being shot, Nina didn't make us feel camera shy at all. Was so nice to work with someone like Nina. She's a true professional and I can tell you from this experience you will not regret booking a shoot with her no matter the occasion!

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 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.
