Cornelia Zaiss Photography

and took some great shots and poses. I am so thankful we were able to have her photograph us!

gement photos and our wedding and both turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The images are stunning and we are so happy we got to work with her! She provided so many sneak peaks just a few days after our wedding and we received our full gallery just a few weeks later! She really captured our wedding day so beautifully and we will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives! She made everything so easy and was so organized throughout the entire process.

nd kind. She assisted with refining our day-of schedule and our family/wedding party portrait lists to ensure we had plenty of time to get all of the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, she made my husband and I feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She was organized, unobtrusive, and efficient. Our photos are absolutely stunning and truly convey the joy of our wedding day, all thanks to Cornelia. I cannot recommend her enough!

ur wedding from the moment I stumbled upon her Instagram page. Her style is so natural, bright, breathtaking and just overall perfection. We received our sneak peeks less than 24 hours after our wedding and I am not joking when I say I stared at them for our whole flight from Florida to Hawaii for our honeymoon :) They are STUNNING and I cannot wait to see the rest of them soon. Aside from Cornelia's fabulous photography skills, she is also so sweet, organized, and a dream to work with. She helped answer a million of my silly questions, put together our draft timeline for me to work off of and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. We had to submit some questionnaires around our 100 day mark through her site which was SO user friendly and easy to go back to edit if I had any changes along the way. Another important thing to note was that Cornelia and her second photographer, Courtney, made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout our day and never made us feel too staged, which you can clearly tell by our amazing photos! They made me feel so calm on the day and made sure to capture all of our details so I can remember our most perfect day forever!!! I HIGHLY recommend Cornelia and her team!!!

the photos of our big day came out beyond perfect. Cornelia is a rockstar at what she does, so do yourself a favor and hire her for any upcoming events or photo shoots you might have. Now back to looking at the amazing pictures Cornelia captured!

I looked at her instagram, I knew she was the photographer for us. Cornelia was so professional and made sure to communicate with us in the lead up to our event. Even when we decided to postpone our wedding due to COVID, she made it easy on us to switch dates. I highly recommend working with Cornelia for your wedding or any event where you need photography. She is fantastic!!

g bride & groom photos, etc. The pictures turned out amazing and I feel as if every moment was captured!! Highly recommend for your wedding!!!

ocess is so easy and helpful. My husband and I first originally spoke with her over the phone since we lived in Hawaii, and when we came down to Florida we met with her in person. It was so easy to talk with her and we both became even more excited that she was our photographer. She made us fill out a few questionnaires beforehand so she and everyone getting photographed would be ready and know what to do and where to go. The day of the wedding flew by, and she was on top of everything and captured every single detail. Cornelia really knows how to work her camera and took stunning pictures along with so many candid pictures throughout the entire day. She's not just a photographer, but an artist! Going over our wedding pictures brought tears to my eyes because they were absolutely beautiful in every way and it felt like I was reliving our day again! I cannot express how much I recommend Cornelia Zaiss to be everyone's wedding photographer!! She truly is the best!!

ew sneak peek photos and they are everything I imagined my wedding photos to be and MORE! They went above and beyond and would highly recommend checking her out!!!

w absolutely nothing about Florida wedding vendors and stumbled upon Cornelia's Instagram page and immediately loved her overall look. After talking to her and seeing more of her work, I was sold. I booked her before any other vendor because I knew I just had to have her. Throughout the whole wedding process, Cornelia was so friendly and kind. She would respond immediately and I never felt like I was bugging her. She helped answer any question I had, even if it didn't pertain to photos. She was so on-top of the details leading up to our big day, so when our wedding day came, I had 0 worries that she would photograph what we wanted. I also quickly realized Cornelia is very well-known and respected throughout Sarasota/Tampa area as literally every other vendor I booked not only knew her but all had wonderful things to say about her, with multiple vendors saying she was “the best”. Our wedding day and wedding pictures proved to be everything I wanted it to be with Cornelia! She knew all the shots to take and posed us in a way that made us look flattering and natural, and still beautiful! My husband is not a big fan of taking photos, so I was worried we would look awkward or too staged, and that was most definitely not the case. Not only were the pictures beautiful, but she was so kind and easy to be around, while also being super professional and efficient! I am absolutely obsessed with every single photo. She captured everything and our pictures turned out truly dreamy - I can't stop looking at them and our friends can't stop raving about them! Another wonderful thing about Cornelia and her services was the quick delivery both of our wedding sneak peeks (3 days after the wedding) and then our full gallery (less than a month from our wedding). My only regret was not flying down to Florida before the wedding to do an engagement session - I wish we could have more photos from her!! Everyone said that photos are the only thing you can take with you when the wedding over, so pick the best photographer, regardless of price. Cornelia truly is THE best and worth every penny (I did find her to be very affordable though especially considering the quality of what you get in return). If your date is available with her, you absolutely need to book it immediately!!!!!

mantic. I also knew I would be spending my entire wedding day with whoever we chose, so I had to enjoy their company as well. Cornelia delivered on all accounts. Every picture we received from her was so gorgeous, timeless, and special. Working with her for our engagement photos and on our wedding day was seamless, easy, and fun. Cornelia is a true professional, everything she captures is truly magic. Friends and family who were unable to attend our downsized event experienced it through her lens, making these photos more significant to us than ever before. We are so thankful we chose to book with her. There are so many wonderful photographers but Cornelia really made us feel comfortable and able to relax and enjoy our day in addition to providing us timeless family heirloom quality photos. Forever grateful and would HIGHLY recommend!

roughout the entire process. Cornelia did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and we are SO IN LOVE with the photos. Cornelia is incredibly organized and gave me a schedule 6 months in advance when I asked (type A people - she's your girl!). She makes the shoots very comfortable and natural and told us just what to do. Cornelia was incredibly responsive and made herself available to us. We were truly blown away with her work as well as her in general. She is very personable, professional and pretty much awesome. Would 10/10 recommend and we know who we're calling the next time we need a photographer! Thank you so much!!!!!

to her in the off chance that she was available on our date for this year. SHE WAS! From the beginning of this whole process, Cornelia was so punctual with all her responses. I think she answered any and all questions I had within a day at most, usually it was just a few hours. Our initial consultation was at a coffee shop, where we talked for hours! Not only was she so helpful and informative, but she was also so easy to talk to! We had our complimentary engagement session and she made us feel so at ease. My husband usually gives me 1-2 pictures at most, and Cornelia was able to get him to take pictures for an hour with no complaints! A true miracle worker. On our wedding day, Cornelia was prompt and professional. She was natural during the ceremony- you couldn't even tell she was there! Again, she got my husband to take so many pictures after. She takes beautiful, well thought out photographs. She is wonderful to work with. I really ended up writing a whole essay, but she is just such a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend using her services if you are in need of a photographer!!

in! I had to start from scratch and planned it all with in 3 months! Cornelia was quick to respond, supportive, and very thorough. She helped me put together a list of every photo I wanted and the pictures came out amazing! I can’t thank her enough! Before we booked Cornelia I asked her about her policy with covid and if we had to reschedule what that would look like, she was completely fair and flexible! Cornelia and Amy did and amazing job and my pictures were absolutely gorgeous! These poor girls worked their butts off at my wedding considering it was Florida in the dead heat of summer! They were extremely dedicated and got all the photos I wanted! I got all my photos already and my wedding album too! I can’t believe how quick she was considering my other friends who just got married this year all waited about 6 months before getting back their photos! If you are looking for a photographer and you want someone you can trust and feel like they are their to help capture your love then please look no further!

hired her to take photos in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary while in Florida. Cornelia did an amazing job capturing the love my husband and I both share. Best experience ever working with this beautiful lady! We highly recommend Cornelia Zaiss Photography!

rtable on your day and completely stress free. Our wedding was last week and she already sent a preview of our photos (so fast!!). I HIGHLY recommend Cornelia if you want incredible photos & memories that’ll last a life time.

e just impeccable. She has that “eye” for capturing truly incredible photos. She is also vocal about how to get the pictures that are so Instagram worthy. She is incredibly helpful in coaching couples on what to do to get those money shots! Her editing style is beautiful as well. All of the images that she produces are fairytale-esque, dreamy, and romantic. Photography really matters to me and if you look at her work she is consistent in her quality, every single photo is a work of art. After looking at SO many photographers her pictures stuck out to me because of this, you simply will not find and unpolished photo by her. She is wonderful on the business side of things as well! Her website is user friendly, getting in contact with her is easy, and when it comes to planning she has thought of everything. During the holiday season, she even sent a WONDERFUL care package including a ring cleaning pen (SO Thoughtful!) and an AMAZING magazine she created filled with helpful wedding planning tips and info (It’s seriously so helpful, I’m currently sharing it my friends that are getting married!) As we were planning, Cornelia was so helpful. She created and collaborated with our DJ and videographer to make the perfect timeline. She even contacted my florist to make sure that there were flowers available in our get-ready room for invitation suite pictures! During the day when the site organizer fell short, she went above and beyond to keep things moving and our timeline on track. We hired Cornelia because of her obvious photography talent but we got so much more than a fantastic photographer. Her friendliness, professionalism, and overall wedding-planning and coordination knowledge are what sets her above the rest.

es. Her work is absolutely stunning and she is truly the best in the business. I couldn't ask for a better photographer and would recommend her to absolutely anyone!

ccable. If I had one little hair out of place, she would stop and fix me to make sure I looked 100% perfect before she took a photo. She also got the photos back to us extremely fast (within a month) and sent us sneak peaks 2 days later!! Now that's top of the line service!

big day!

or me, but we had so much fun and felt incredibly comfortable with her guidance! Not to mention our photos are so perfect!!! You won’t regret going with her!!
