JCanelas Photography

Hiring Joanna was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. Not only in capturing every moment but also her attention to the us the bride and groom. Her time management was perfect and kept us on track throughout our wedding day. She is truly the best Tampa has to offer. You will be getting more than a photographer when you hire Joanna. She loves what she does and is so evident in her work and the way she carries herself. We recommend JCanelas Photography 100%

Joanna went above and beyond to make our day spectacular!! She is kind and just a bundle of joy!! Her special energy radiates to all around her and she makes sure you get the best candid shots!! She was so organized and paid so much attention to detail. She knew everyone by name and made sure photos after the ceremony went smoothly. She is truly one of a kind and worth EVERY PENNY!!! Ladies, book her now.. I’m sure she will start booking a year in advance!! Truly cannot say enough good things!! Love her so much!

We are so happy with our wedding photos and entire experience with Joanna! From the time of booking she has been so easy to work with, including coordinating a postponement. Leah also adds so much value to the team beyond that of a second shooter, they work so well together! They made me feel comfortable during portraits and made sure to take our preferences into consideration. They are both so fun to be around which is important since it’s such a long day. They were also genuinely excited and clearly love what they do! Needless to say, our photos came out beautifully and I would love to work with Joanna again in the future!

Joanna and her team are absolutely amazing! She took our engagement and wedding pictures, and they turned out better than I could have imagined. Joanna’s personality and charisma are perfect for the job as she made sure we felt at ease/relaxed, helped us with different pose ideas, and directed everyone with confidence for the family pictures. She is super professional, responsive, and competent. Joanna captured the vision of what I wanted and went above and beyond to deliver quality. We are so glad we chose her and would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat!

Joanna is amazing - she was essential to have at our wedding and we are so thankful we hired her. She understood our vibe as a couple immediately and made us feel so comfortable during both engagement and wedding photos. Her photos are vibrant and really capture people's authentic personalities, which we love so much. Her assistant was great as well and assisted me whenever I walked around to ensure my dress and veil did not get caught on anything. I cannot recommend Joanna enough!!

I wish I could give Joanna a million stars! “WOW” is all my husband and I can say. She and her team were so amazing to work with all day . They were beyond personable and professional and made my husband and I & wedding party feel so comfortable. Everyone has been raving about the sneak peek pics, they are seriously incredible. I will be recommending Joanna to everyone I know! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable <3

Absolutely amazing!!! Joanna and her team were phenomenal! When they arrived, we were running a little behind with our hair and makeup schedule. Joanna kept me calm and told me not to worry we had plenty of time. She was so much fun to be around all day! She stayed on top of my groomsmen for beer cans in hand, gum in their mouth, sunglasses in pockets, etc. The day went so smooth thanks to her and her assistant! There is not a single moment that they did not capture and they were so discrete about it. We were able to see sneak peak photos AT OUR WEDDING RECEPTION!!! My guests were so impressed. Highly recommend the photo booth -I have never seen anything like it and it was a huge hit with guests. It was so fun to see all the pictures afterwards too. I am absolutely in love with all of my photos -they are STUNNING! The tough part will now be deciding which ones to print because they are all gorgeous! Cannot recommend JCanelas Photography enough!!! Thank you so much Joanna, you are amazing at what you do!!!

Joanna was perfect! Exactly the type of photographer we were looking for! From day 1 she was easy to talk to. Great communication. On our wedding day Joanna made everyone in our group feel comfortable and was able to capture so many candid moments! She was great with directing and getting everyone where they needed to be efficiently without being rude or overbearing. Every one raved about her after the wedding day. When my pictures were sent to me I couldn’t stop looking at them 😍 We received so many compliments on how they turned out and how many precious moments were captured. Our wedding was a destination wedding so I did not do engagement photos or meet Joanna before our wedding day but I loved her pictures on her Instagram so I knew she’d be perfect. Her prices are very reasonable for how amazing the photos are. I highly recommend JCanelas!!! You won’t regret it!

The best of the best! I knew once I got engaged I wanted Jcanelas to be the one to capture those memories and she out did herself ❤️ She is the sweetest and is the best at what she does, would recommend her to everyone I know ❤️

Highly recommend Joanna , she is literally the best !!! She exceeded my expectations from engagement session to my wedding pictures . Look no further you will need her as your photographer for any event . Thank you so much I can not express how happy I am with my pictures 😊 .

Joanna was so incredible + such a joy to have on our wedding day! She knew exactly how she wanted everyone positioned + took her time to make sure every photo was perfect! She made me feel so comfortable as the bride, I’m so happy I found her for our special day!

Based on our experience alone, Joanna was a blast to "work" with! My fiance was originally not looking forward to getting photos done, but his opinion completely switched when she made everything a breeze. We found out later that she drove 45 minutes out of her way to do our session (and arrived on time) - now that's some dedication! She's hilarious and there was not one time that we felt awkward in front of her. I appreciated her showing us a few pictures after taking them and offering to retake any if I felt there was something wrong with them. Another thing that was pretty sweet of her was at the end she asked if I imagined any pose that we may have missed. We just had our engagement session yesterday so we have not gotten our photos back yet (except for an Instagram sneak peak - wooo!) but I trust they will not disappoint. Thank you again Joanna!

Joanna is very talented and professional. She has a great eye and is super fun! Very creative and makes sure to capture those magical moments. I definitely recommend her, her crew was also wonderful. You can trust that her work will leave you speechless, she was very quick to get us our pictures too!

No words could explain how thankful we are to have found Joanna as our photographer. It was totally random as I was searching for someone for our wedding, and I fell in love with her picture gallery and booked her. To say I’m in love with each photo she took is a complete understatement. If one thing mattered to me for this day it was having the perfect photographer to capture the memories. Everyone says it goes by so fast and that’s the honest truth. But to look at these pictures that she was able to capture from our special day, it was like reliving it all over again. She was on point not only with the perfect poses and capturing the perfect moments, but she was keeping everything in line for a super smooth day/evening and getting everything just right. I cannot thank her enough for being so amazing and I know I’ll be recommending her to anyone and everyone who mentions needing a photographer. So blessed to have these memories from our absolutely perfect day! JOANNA YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!

Joanna is an amazing photographer! She worked with us really well, made sure we were all on the same page before starting, and worked with us for the price. Her pictures are phenomenal, they’re hanging all over our walls now! Plus, you get a personal connection with her which I don’t know if you get that with big photography companies!

Joanna was wonderful, she went out of her way to meet up with us and was super flexible with planning our shoot so we could avoid the unforeseen weather. She does a great job with candid shots and making you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. We were very happy with our engagement shoot! Highly recommended

Joanna is AMAZING. So accommodating and her pictures come out flawless! Our engagement shoot was awesome. So excited to see how wonderful my wedding photos come out with Joanna.

Joanna is the best! I found her 9 months before my wedding and I knew as soon as I talked to her she was a perfect match. First, her photos do all of the talking! Her portfolio is bright and beautiful! She also has a way of capturing emotions! Second, she is the sweetest! Joanna is extremely friendly, easy to talk to, and will make you feel beautiful. There wasn’t an awkward moment the entire wedding! She was taking pictures the entire time! Lastly, she is so organized! If you want someone who takes beautiful pictures, makes you feel comfortable and is so easy to work with, pick Joanna! All of my wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful ! Joanna was our favorite and best investment of the entire wedding !! Thank you Joanna ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Joanna was nothing short of amazing. My timeline went longer than anticipated and she flowed right along with it and suggested alternatives for other pictures/times to do them. She was friendly, fast, accommodating and she knew exactly what she was doing. I am so happy and thankful I chose her for my wedding day, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. PS my wedding was in Mexico, she traveled to Mexico to capture my wedding memories!!! How freaking fabulous is that?!

Joanna photographed my engagement and wedding photos and they turned out so beautifully. When I was searching for a photographer I wanted someone that not only had a wonderful portfolio but was also in my budget and worked well with a local videography company I hired for my wedding. Joanna is very polite, professional, and talented. She will make you feel beautiful on your special day.

Joanna is AWESOME !!! My fiancé and I did our engagement pictures wither her and they came out amazing😍 Joanna is super sweet and very patient. She made us feel very comfortable during the session, which helped us be more natural for the pictures. I can’t wait for her to be able to capture our wedding memories! Pick Joanna! You will not be disappointed

Joanna was wonderful to work with on our special day! She even provided guidance of how the day should go. Would definitely recommend, thank you Joanna!

We hired Joanna for our engagement shoot! She is everything and more that you would want in a photographer! From the time we reached out to her that we were interested in getting more information, Joanna sent emails back immediately and was very informative. Her package pricing is very reasonable! She made us feel so comfortable and we all had such a good time during the shoot. Joanna takes beautiful photos and had wonderful suggestions for poses. We are SO THRILLED to have Joanna photograph our wedding in December! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in the search of a photographer !

She is absolutely phenomenal , personable and professional ! She went above and beyond and she made my dreams a reality I got a second chance with her to have the memories of an unforgettable day She is absolutely the highest quality of photographer THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HER!!!!

Joanna was absolutely wonderful in every way! She was kind, time efficient, professional, and really good at what she does. She was worth every penny and we are so thankful that we were able to hire her to take our wedding pictures!

My wedding anniversary is coming up and we were looking back on the photographs and it was truly like reliving the day! Joanna captured every special moment and was such a calm person on such a busy day she really made it feel much more relaxing! She really was amazing all around!

Joanna was the absolute BEST. She's incredibly kind, understanding, funny, personable, and overall just so talented. She captured the exact kinds of photos I wanted on our wedding day and I couldn't have asked for anything better. She will literally go above and BEYOND for you to make sure you are the happiest couple. She shot our bridals, our LDS temple photos, our ring ceremony, and our reception. Even through all of those events, she was extremely kind, patient, and professional. I also really loved that she speaks Spanish because my whole family is Latino and it just really helped with overall communication within my family. She asked me where I wanted our bridals done and I told her what kinds of photos I wanted and that's exactly what I got, and much more. We also weren't very comfortable in front of the camera (or at least I wasn't) and because she's so sweet and professional, she worked with us and I am still obsessed with every single one of our wedding/bridal photos. I would 100000% recommend Joanna to anyone who wants their special day captured in the most perfect way!

We really LOVED working with Joanna. We hired her to take our wedding pics in Ocala FL. The pictures are just amazing and she’s easy to work with. She has a real talent and God’s grace is on her. Everything she does she does it perfect. God bless her career. Definitely recommend her ❤️

Joanna was extremely accommodating both in the weeks prior to our wedding and on the actual wedding day. She answered all of my questions leading up to the wedding day. When things were running late day of, she was reassuring and did not make me feel guilty, which was a huge deal for me! She and her second shooter captured so many natural moments of two people (my husband and myself) who are uncomfortable in front of the camera. The photos are incredible and exactly what I was hoping for. Her pricing is also THE MOST affordable out there, from what I saw, especially for the excellent quality of her work. They are the most wonderful memories of a wonderful day!

JCanelas Photography surpassed all of our expectations! If you are looking for someone that is professional, committed to their craft, passionate and above all extremely talented, look no further. Their attention to detail is exceptional and they strive to make your special day memorable. The quality of their work speaks for itself.

Joanna is super amazingly talented and just amazing to work with! She made us comfortable with getting our pictures taken (even though we both don’t usually like the camera) and managed to capture just our happy, excited vibe! She is so good at knowing when to setup formal portraits and when to blend into the crowd and get amazing candids (which are my favorite!).

Joanna was so great as our wedding photographer! She was willing to hop on many phone calls to talk details throughout the whole process. We didn't meet until the day-of since the wedding was in Atlanta, but I felt like we already knew each other. I was really happy with her ability to round up family and friends for pics, but also stay in the background and capture lots of candids. I was so excited to see the pictures to re-live our awesome day and I was beyond happy with the final product! She managed to capture the spirit of our wedding perfectly.
