We Love Weddings Because…
We are fortunate to love our craft, to collaborate with an amazing team, and to be surrounded by couples who inspire us. We believe that, ultimately, our art is an act of service—and serving others excites the soul. From the initial consultation to the smallest wedding details, we wholeheartedly commit ourselves to honoring and emulating the love we witness in each of our couples.
We believe in relationships and families, in joy and laughter. Weddings are truly a celebration of life, and we are honored to be a part of them. From the moment we connect with you, our goal is to tell your love story through our lens in a way that can be cherished for generations. We create a masterpiece of memories for each couple to treasure for a lifetime.
When the day is done and the wedding is over, what remains is your love—and the photos. That’s why the stories we tell matter so much.
Our Wedding Style
Our style blends natural light and editorial flair. By day, we capture soft, airy images—especially on the beach—without heavy filters, letting real colors and emotions shine through. As the light shifts, we love using direct flash for bold, fashion-inspired shots with an edge.
We compose every image with care, making sure the details matter, while using a shallow depth of field to keep the look romantic and timeless.
Our Personality
We value personal relationships, true beauty, and love to laugh! We are unashamed hopeless romantics with a never-ending drive to create and do the very best!
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
As artists, photography is not only a creative outlet—it’s also a powerful way to make a positive impact on the world. Weddings are such meaningful, joyful moments in people’s lives, and we’re deeply drawn to love and the opportunity to create something beautiful that blesses and stays with our couples for the rest of their lives.
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
Specializing in luxury weddings in Tampa, Sarasota, St. Pete, and Clearwater Beach, we have been a leading photography company in Florida for over a decade, with our work featured by The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, Southern Bride, and The Drew Barrymore Show. We are members of the National Association of Catering and Events and the Professional Photography Association of America. While those things are wonderful, it’s our passion for art and service that is the reason why so many couples choose us to be there with them on one of the most important days of their lives.
We value relationships with our clients so much that we offer engagement sessions with every collection. We love excuses to connect with our couples!
When you read our reviews, you can see the difference that having a team of people makes. At Lifelong, you have an entire team of five lead photographers and a bench of second shooters making sure that you have award-winning images. During a consultation, you meet with your photographer, not a salesperson. Getting to know the story of your journey is the true motivation behind what we do.
Associations & Awards
We are members of the National Association of Catering and Events and the Professional Photography Association of America. We consistently are awarded the couple’s choice awards from The Knot and Wedding Wire.

I believe in the reality of unconditional love. In the kinds of days where it doesn’t matter what you are doing as long as you love who you are with. I believe that moments turn into memories and memories turn into legacies.
At the age of 20, I saved for what seemed like decades and purchased my first camera. From the moment I held it in my hands, I was hooked and I have never put it down.
Most days you can find me looking at the world through my lens and creating art. I get the most joy from photographing people because I am able to capture the beauty in the world around me along with the emotion of the people in the frame.
Not just the challenge of capturing beauty excites me, but also the desire for each photo to tell a story. I believe that well-captured images help tell the story of your life … your legacy and I am honored to be a part of that!
I was born on the coast of Maine and moved to Florida when I was young. I spent every summer of my youth traveling the coast and taking in the sites. Since then, I’ve traveled all around the world documenting love stories for couples and families.
I’m always looking for ways to not just tell love stories but help my couples make their wedding day more special and unique. I love looking for that unexpected angle that tells the story perfectly. As a creative, I find beauty in the details and in the authentic moments.
My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the shores of Bermuda to the jungles of Puerto Rico. But regardless of where I travel, the coast of Florida will always be my home!
One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:
I have an obsession with airstream campers and stop by the dealership on my way back to Tampa every time I have a shoot-out towards Orlando.
Non-wedding Passions:
Personal growth and learning, and sharing knowledge. I love researching new information that is helpful for daily life and love sharing helpful knowledge with those around me.

We wanted a photographer whose work felt bright, natural, timeless, and romantic. It was important to us that our photos captured genuine moments and emotions rather than feeling overly posed. We also wanted someone who understood the lighting and layout of Opal Sands Clearwater Beach and could take advantage of the beach, waterfront views, and sunset.
We chose Lifelong Photography Studio because we loved the style of their work and the way they captured weddings in a natural but elevated way. Their photos felt timeless and emotional while still being bright and beautiful. We also loved that they were familiar with Opal Sands, which gave us confidence that they knew how to make the most of the venue.
Their service was incredible. Lifelong Photography Studio made us feel comfortable throughout the day, helped keep everything moving, and captured so many moments that we might not have even noticed happening. Looking back at our photos, we feel like they truly captured the feeling of the day and not just what it looked like.

I wanted a wedding photographer who was well established in the area and could customize our day. Lifelong Photography Studio was highly recommended by both the venue and our planner. After our first conversation, it was evident they were a good fit. The team was responsive, easy to work with, and even helped us with content creation beyond photography.
Buffy Feldman and her team were instrumental in making our day run smoothly. They kept us on schedule while also keeping the day light and fun (even in the heat). They stepped up beyond their traditional duties to ensure we were well taken care of and could relax leading up to our ceremony.

We wanted two photographers and wanted them to capture the details of the day. We did not want a photographer who used too many filters or different color corrections; we wanted the pictures to be authentic and the special moments to be captured and not posed.
Lifelong Photography Studio came recommended by The Birchwood and Coastal Coordinating. We really enjoyed working with Jorge; he really fit in well with us, and we enjoyed his vision for photographs during the entire day.

“When searching for a wedding photographer, I wanted someone whose work felt light-filled and editorial, while still capturing genuine emotion. Beautiful portraits were important, but I also wanted every photograph to tell the story of our day in a way that felt authentic and natural.
From my very first conversation with Buffy Feldman at Lifelong Photography, I knew she understood exactly what I envisioned. She made me feel heard, valued, and completely confident that our story was in the right hands. What I admire most about her team is their incredible ability to document not only the big moments, but also the quiet, meaningful ones that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. Lifelong beautifully captured every emotion. From the joyful tears and heartfelt embraces to the carefully curated details, we poured so much love into. Their photographs don’t just document what our wedding looked like; they preserve exactly how it felt, and that is a gift we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.”

“My biggest priority was seeing how a photographer edited their photographs. I loved how Lifelong Photography Studio really emphasized a light and airy vibe. With my wedding colors being pastel, it really complemented the color scheme of the flowers and décor.
We specifically chose Lifelong Photography because I knew they had a great reputation and would do a fantastic job, and I loved their editing style. Their service was phenomenal. Buffy Feldman, our photographer, has photographed weddings at our venue many times, which I felt was very favorable because she knew exactly where she wanted us and how she wanted us, so she didn’t waste any time at all.”

“We wanted a natural and authentic look for our wedding photography. Our preference was for photos not to be edited with saturation or other elements that would take away the natural beauty of the day. We wanted a natural and authentic look for our wedding photography.
Lifelong Photography Studio came highly recommended from another wedding vendor, and we immediately felt a sense of trust and excitement after our initial consultation!”
– Cameron and Sean |
