Since we were having a small wedding we wanted a photographer who could meet our needs.

We chose Lifelong Photography Studio because they were able to give us a package that met exactly what we wanted. Our photographer was awesome. She got so many great pictures and encouraged us to take pictures that she knew we would want after the fact. I would definitely request her again for another event.

We weren’t sure where to start when looking for a wedding photographer, but we knew that we wanted someone who specialized in weddings and events, and I preferred a bright, light style of shooting. We wanted a reputable company, just in case there were any emergencies and backups were needed.

Lifelong Photography Studio came as a recommendation from one of my bridesmaids. We met with Buffy for a consultation, and she was willing to build a package that fit our needs and our budget, and we loved her work! She did some amazing engagement photos for us, and she and Cheryl were just as wonderful on our wedding day. Buffy and Cheryl were total superheroes. Buffy went above and beyond to help with things that weren’t even in her job description, like helping my mom zip the dress and starting the bustle when the bridal party got separated before the introductions. Cheryl was amazing with our flower girl! She made her feel special and kept her distracted when she was on the verge of having a four-year-old meltdown.

I wanted a wedding photographer who had a light and airy vibe, was experienced, and who had personality and would bring out our playful side. A lot of times weddings can be very serious and professionally our careers are very serious, so I wanted our pictures to be loving and playful and not serious at all. I also did not want a photographer that did the same old shots we see all the time or that are outdated. I would say simple, but elegant, and nothing over the top. I also wanted to make sure there were two photographers, some packages only offer one, but Lifelong Photography offered an option with two which was still reasonable.

We chose Lifelong Photography Studio based on their portfolio and my comfort level with them as they did my sister’s wedding. I spent a lot of time on photographer blogs and websites, Instagram pages, and the Marry Me Tampa Bay, as well as taking the time to speak with many photographers about what services they offered and what their techniques and editing styles were, and I just kept coming back to Lifelong. They have a very soft style which I appreciate. I didn’t want anything super serious or dark.

Buffy was easy to work with, super friendly, and upbeat, and we got to work with her before our wedding when we did our engagement photos. She was very organized and efficient with the photographs and timeline, and she made sure that we got all the shots we were wanting, even when we were tired and ready to give up.

Tyler and I aren’t ones to know what to do during a photo shoot, so we were looking for a photographer who not only matched the style we were looking for but someone who made us feel comfortable and could put us in good positions for the pictures.

I loved Lifelong Photography Studio’s portfolio. They capture couples’ personalities and affection for one another while also taking gorgeous shots. Our main photographer, Gabrielle, is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She did our engagement photos and was willing to drive out-of-town to Boca Grande for the shoot. She even stayed over an hour later than the allotted time for our engagement shoot to make sure we had all the pictures we wanted in multiple locations. We instantly felt like friends, and I was completely at ease looking forward to her photographing us again on our wedding day. One of the photographers at our wedding (also named Allison) actually used her sweater to wipe the sand off my feet after taking our beach photos. It was such a kind gesture that far exceeded her role as a photographer, but that speaks to their commitment to the bride and groom’s happiness on their wedding day.

I wanted light and bright photos without the gloomy DSLR high-definition look. Also, we needed a photographer with experience taking pictures inside the aquarium without flash back on the tanks.

Lifelong Photography Studio captured everything we were looking for in a photographer. We met them at The Florida Aquarium open house and saw their work. They captured our day perfectly. They went above and beyond and even stayed later to ensure we got enough shots of our reception.

My husband and I don’t particularly love having our pictures taken so we wanted someone who could make it easy for us and be fun to work with.

We liked Lifelong Photography Studio’s gallery of previous weddings, and they came highly recommended by our planner. They were great to work with, and we loved our pictures!

Hiring an incredible photographer and videographer was very important as we knew many friends and family would not be able to join in person, but we wanted to share as much of our day as we could. We looked for a wedding photographer knowledgeable about the venue.

From my first call with Gabe at Lifelong Photography Studio, I knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding, and we were lucky she was available! There needs to trust in the relationship between a couple and photographer, and I knew she would help guide us along the way. We absolutely chose Lifelong Photography Studio based on our consult with Gabe, her confidence in shooting at Postcard Inn, and the recommendations she provided made our experience even more special than what we were originally considering.

We wanted a photographer who would capture traditional photos with a light and airy style, and that was equally talented in taking posed and candid shots.

Lifelong Photography Studio has such a traditional, timeless style, and that’s exactly what we wanted! We loved that their photos were light and airy and would capture the spirit of how we were feeling that day. It seems that so many photographers these days lean towards dark and moody filters, and that’s not how we wanted to remember our wedding day.

The service at Lifelong was amazing, and we would definitely recommend our lead photographer, Kristen! She, along with the whole team, went above and beyond, listened to our requests, arrived earlier than expected, and even stayed an extra hour when asked on the day of. Lifelong Photography captured our wedding photos beyond our expectations, providing us with thousands of quality images. They were also very responsive to our questions leading up to the wedding day.

We wanted to shoot with a photographer who loves and understands weddings and who focuses on the details. 

We love Lifelong Photography Studios’ bright and airy feel as well as their sweet personalities and price point! It just felt right.

Genuine, candid, professional, and not too pricey. We honestly don’t like taking pictures very much, so we wanted a good team who would capture our personalities and not have any forced or staged shots.

I knew Lifelong Photography Studios was the perfect fit after viewing the website and talking to Emily. They were amazing and one of our favorite vendors! We had a large bridal party, and both don’t like taking pictures, so we weren’t the easiest couple to work with, but we had a great time. Emily got me through all the shots I wanted and encouraged us the whole time.

We wanted great quality and detailed photos. After looking at Lifelong Photography Studios‘ website, we knew they would capture the best moments of our wedding and take the time to get the kind of photos we would cherish forever.

They did such a wonderful job! Working with Emily was so comfortable during our engagement shoot and she always went above and beyond, along with her assistant Eden, to make sure we got beautiful photos from the wedding.

We wanted a photographer who provided a timeless look and style that was light and airy.

We loved Lifelong Photography Studio‘s attention to detail. Gaby is not only an amazing photographer she is such a complete joy to be around. She went above and beyond on our wedding day capturing every detail, and we are forever grateful for her and owner/photographer, Buffy, for not only making our wedding photos perfect but our engagement photos as well.

We looked for professionalism, editing skills, and flexibility. Our photographers were great. All of our photos look so candid, and that’s what we were looking for.

We wanted to find someone who really captured who we are.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Lifelong Photography Studio is. From the very first meeting I had with Buffy, I felt so comfortable like I was talking to a friend. She really made sure to listen to requests and exactly what you wanted. The team did such an amazing job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Both of us were pretty nervous before our engagement pictures but it was so much fun and that had so much to do with the Lifelong team. Lifelong was just so amazing and completely exceeded our expectations. On our wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our day perfectly. They made sure they got every shot and created memories for us to look at forever.

We looked for work that looked very romantic and whimsical. Light and not over-filtered images. Lifelong Photography Studio had a very large portfolio for us to feel confident that they would deliver the style we wanted. We chose Lifelong Photography Studio because I loved the feel of their photos. Their style of photography felt very fresh, romantic, and not overdone.  Gabrielle has a very creative eye and made us feel very comfortable and confident in front of the camera. 

We wanted the photographers to be able to capture photos outside with natural lighting in day and night time. Also, we really like creative candid shots that aren’t as formal feeling.

I had worked with Buffy Feldman before, and her personality makes you feel at ease and comfortable-like you are getting your picture taken by one of your long-time best friends.

Lifelong Photography sent a beautiful USB with our photo gallery pictures on it. They also go above and beyond with reviewing all the shots you want to be included and are good at creative fun shots. Buffy, Gabrielle, and Mo were so much fun!
