Buffy, Tina, and the Lifelong Team did an outstanding job capturing our wedding more than we could have imagined! We had our first conversation in the Fall of 2023 and I instantly knew I found our wedding photographer. Buffy and Tina checked up on us periodically in the most kind, patient, and professional manner. On the day of the wedding, she kept our group on time while capturing all of the important moments. We just got our first batch of pictures back yesterday and we are obsessed!! Can't wait for the final drop. Thank you for everything!

Buffy photographed mine and my husbands wedding in January. She is so amazing and nobody can beat her. She was punctual, Stayed and made sure I got all the pictures, is so creative, brought different types of cameras to get different outcomes (like faux film) and kept everyone in line… even guests!!! If you’re gonna spend your money on something, lifelong photography should be it!!

I hired Lifelong for our engagement and wedding pictures. Buffy was our main photographer and shot both events. She traveled to St. Augustine to take our engagement pictures, and they turned out beautiful! Buffy is so warm, bubbly and was great at telling us what to do since my husband is not a picture guy. It was nice getting to know her at the engagement shoot so that on the wedding day we were all comfortable. Buffy helped me with my train and bouquet when needed, posed us, and was the ultimate hype girl. She was so sweet. Brandon was the second shooter and did a great job with the guys! The pictures turned out better than I could’ve imagined. They got all the amazing shots I wanted and made sure to take advantage of all the photo spots at our venue. The way the photos are edited are true to life and bright making them timeless. I can’t wait to work with Lifelong again for our future pictures. I can’t recommend them enough!

Buffy and her team were absolutely amazing. I’m shy in front of the camera so finding a photographer who I was comfortable with was super important to me. Buffy was the perfect person for the job - she’s the biggest hype woman and brought such a positive energy to our day, and maintained it from the beginning of the day through the end - staying calm and reassuring in stressful weather situations. You can tell she genuinely loves her job and it shows in her work. We are obsessed with our sneak peaks and cannot wait to see the rest! Lifelong is definitely one my favorite vendors from my wedding!

The best decision hiring Lifelong Photography for my wedding day and engagement shoot photography!! I had Buffy as my lead photographer, but she brought two amazing photographers with her as well! They made me feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We just got our sneak peeks back (after only 1.5 weeks!) and I absolutely love them!! We got 70 which I feel like is a lot for sneak peeks, which was so appreciated. Can't wait to see the rest of them! Would definitely recommend anyone from the Lifelong team for your wedding day and I felt they were very fairly priced compared to others in the area. Thank you so much for capturing the best day of our lives in a way that represented our favorite moments!

Our experience with Lifelong Photography Studio, led by Gabrielle and Angelina, was nothing short of exceptional. Gabrielle and Angelina made us feel incredibly at ease throughout the entire process. Their kindness, professionalism, and creative vision were evident from the start, and it was clear that they were truly passionate about their craft. What impressed us most was their ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. As someone who typically feels uneasy being photographed, I was pleasantly surprised by how relaxed and natural I felt with Gabrielle and Angelina. Their timeline was seamless, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without feeling rushed or stressed. And from the sneak peeks we've seen so far, the photos are simply breathtaking, and we're beyond excited to see the rest. Gabrielle and Angelina are a dream team in every sense of the word, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had them capture our special day.

Buffy was incredible! Due to our own issues with scheduling, we didn't have the engagement photoshoot until 2 days before the wedding. It was ultimately perfect, Buffy made sure we were comfortable and did everything to help us prep for the actual day of. She was great with communication and on time for everything. During the actual ceremony and cocktail hour, the team wasn't intrusive and the pics are perfect. Thank you!

From start to finish, the process of working with Lifelong was smooth and professional. We had Buffy as our main photographer for our November 2023 wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete. We also did an engagement session with her at the University of Tampa earlier in the year (which was included in our package). Both sets of photos turned out so beautiful, and the turnaround for the editing process was so fast!! We really enjoyed working with Buffy (and team)--they knew all the good spots for taking photos at our venue, and they knew exactly how to direct us for posing even though we are both very camera shy. I love that they included some creative artistic shots too! I would highly recommend Lifelong!!

Buffy was our main photographer, and she was absolutely amazing to work with and all of our pictures turned out spectacular. We did an engagement session in Gainesville where we live and Buffy was all about it and was so friendly and made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met her. After that session, we knew we had chosen the right photography company. Out wedding day went smoothly with pictures and Buffy had lots of beautiful and fun ideas for different shots. We just received our completed wedding album and are in love with all of our pictures! They are exactly what we had hoped they would be and more!

My now husband and I hired Lifelong Photography for our wedding in November 2023. I cannot say enough good things about them! We had Kristen as our photographer. From the moment we met at our engagement session she made us feel so comfortable. She did such a great job listening to our ideas of what we liked and guiding us on poses. We had asked for not so many posed pictures and more "behind the scenes" and she delivered! If you are considering Lifelong, go with them!

At first, Gabrielle was super responsive and was so nice on the initial call but then she ghosted me. I was supposed to get two emails and I only got one which was the quote. I had a follow up question which I texted, emailed and left a voicemail. I never heard back. I was going to go with these photographers even though they were a bit pricy but after the lack of communication, I will never hire them.

Buffy was not nice, she took over my scheduled calls with the photographer and then information got lost. She confused my photographer and we had to create an entirely new timeline. Lifelong was very inflexible and takes a cookie cutter approach, which did not work for my ceremony. They switched my second photographer at the last minute and she did not know the details of my wedding. She did not shoot or edit the photos in the correct style. They did not bring anything they said they would for detail shots, such as ribbon and ring boxes. I sent them inspiration photos off of my pinterest. I brought everything I was told to bring for the flat lay invitation photo, including the stamps and they gave me this. I was very nervous going into my wedding because of Lifelong. I would not recommend them because Buffy gave me nothing but headaches. My mother in law also had a lot of difficulty with them shooting our rehearsal. The entire process was extremely stressful.

Buffy and Kristin were absolutely amazing to work with! I am not a photogenic person, nor do I love taking photos, but oh my goodness does Buffy know what she's doing. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole day and kept the photos fun for us. She also listened to a couple of the "inspiration ideas" I had and ensured she captured those moments. Buffy and her team are true professionals. She was one of my favorite people I worked with throughout my wedding.

Kristin & assistant (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!) were incredible on my wedding day! (2/24/23). They hyped us up the whole time, brought props for the detail shots, were so organized and on top of everything. Just got some incredible sneak peaks back and I couldn't be happier. Can't wait until I get all the shots back! Thank you again!!

I can not begin to explain how amazing Emily and Bailey were! Not only were they incredibly kind and just amazing to work with, but they are also so talented! Our wedding and engagement photos were amazing and have made my family and friends cry looking at them. They captured every moment and every detail to a 'T' and made everyone feel comfortable at the same time. I would hire them again in a heart beat, and highly highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great photography team!

We hired Lifelong after an awful experience with our previous photographer and oh my goodness, talk about night and day. Gabrielle is the kindest, most talented photographer ever. We are super awkward in photos and she somehow made us look amazing. She gave us the best directions and truly made us feel happy. I felt like I had my best friend with me all day at the wedding. She was so wonderful to our kids, family and friends. Everyone loved her! The entire team at Lifelong is top notch and we are so grateful for everyone.
Thank you!!!!!

I hired Lifelong for my November wedding. Emily was my main photographer. She was amazing. I got to meet with her when we first hired them so I could get to know her prior to our engagement session. She was so sweet and professional. Our engagement session was so beautiful. I told her I needed a lot of help posing, etc. and she made it so easy and effortless. The photos were gorgeous. On my wedding day, she and Kristen made sure I was feeling great and had nothing to stress about. They helped keep everything on time. Again, they both made sure I got all the shots I wanted and they made posing feel effortless. They were patient with all the groomsmen when they were hot and "over it". haha. I got a lot of compliments from family and bridal party that they loved both Emily and Kristen. My day would not have been the same without them. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Lifelong. They are professional and their photos are stunning!

We LOVED using Lifelong for our wedding day! Emily was amazing, her energy, personality were exactly what we needed to feel comfortable being photographed all day! Even for our engagement shoot, we photographed it in the pouring rain and she was still our ultimate hype girl! She even did a great job getting family to cooperate for family portraits at the wedding (which was a task in itself). We wanted a photographer that captured the fun and in the moment photos - not just posed shots and that’s exactly what we got! We couldn’t be happier!

We had Emily as our lead photographer and Brooke as her assistant. They were so efficient, professional, and made all our photos run smoothly. The 2 photographer package was perfect for both girls and guys photos as well as quickly getting family photos done in the hot sun. We chose lifelong for their beautiful, timeless photos and editing and we are obsessed with our sneak peek photos and can’t wait to get the rest. Every person we spoke to from lifelong was so kind and helpful. Emily and Brooke were amazing and we highly recommend them!!!!

The team at Lifelong Photography are absolute pros and we are extremely happy that we picked them as our wedding photographers. Jorge and Tina were phenomenal at capturing the perfect moments, and positioning our family and friends and moving them along so that we could stick to our schedule. In a particularly unique and perfect moment, Jorge spotted a woman walking through Vinoy Park with a parrot and asked if we could take photos with it. The parrot was the perfectly unique addition to our wedding photos, and went perfect with the leis that my husband and I were wearing! We are so excited to see how our wedding photos turned out. Thank you to Jorge, Tina, and the entire Lifelong team for capturing our special day!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can just stop right here!!! I can't say enough about how great the team at Lifelong is. They are great at getting back to you if you have any questions. We had to push our wedding because of COVID, and they were extremely accommodating. Because of scheduling, we were assigned a different photographer for our wedding day than the one who took our engagement photos. That was 1000% OK because we were able to schedule another engagement session with our new photographer, Jorge, who was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! On our wedding day, Jorge and his assistant, Sookie, showed up and we had the best day ever!! Everyone in our wedding party came up to my husband and I with nothing but good things to say about the energy and creativeness that these two brought to our day. We got to take the most beautiful photos on the beach at sunset and I can't wait to find another excuse to work with them again.

Buffy is the absolute best! Lifelong was on our venue and wedding planner’s preferred vendor list and after talking with her the first time, I knew I didn’t need to look for anyone else! She made it so easy to trust her with everything. We got married in Florida from Chicago and it didn’t feel like we were so far away. When we did our engagement pictures, Buffy made us feel so comfortable during them. I was on the fence on doing a first look and she told me why she loves shooting first looks, and I am SO happy she did and we chose to do one! The day of the wedding, Buffy was nothing short of amazing. We had a larger bridal party and Buffy was great at getting everyone to get together and follow directions. Not to mention she is the biggest hype woman!! I loved loved loved working with Lifelong and would recommend them again and again!

I was very impressed by all the different angles she used. The candids and portraits turned out STUNNING! After seeing how amazing our engagement session photos came out, I knew we were in good hands for the big day! She was great at communicating and made it easy to try out different poses. I would have never thought to take some of the pictures, and I am glad Lifelong was our photographer! I cannot say enough nice things about this company! They were FABULOUS, and I recommend them 100 percent!

Lifelong Photography (and Jorge + Tina, our wedding day photogs specifically) did an amazing job! Jorge is a natural lighting magician and managed to capture SO many of our special fleeting moments during a hectic day.
My husband and I are not used to professional photography sessions and Jorge made us feel totally comfortable, gives clear (great) instructions and keeps things moving as swiftly as possible.
The Lifelong Team can be slow-ish to respond to emails, so be patient, but they are really lovely when you do get them and for anything truly timely they do always get back.
Lastly, the Lifelong team was flexible with my budget and proposed a custom package, which I hugely appreciated.

We hired Lifelong Photography Studios twice! We had an intimate Covid wedding back in October 2020, and then finally got to have our big reception in October 2021, and we hired them for both! We had different teams for each wedding, and I can't say enough about how great everyone there is. The entire group is so organized, the timelines they created were so helpful, and no details were missed!
In 2020, Kristin was our lead photographer, and she is the ULTIMATE hype woman. She made every single one of us feel so great and relaxed as we were taking photos, and she was so much fun.
In 2021, we had Buffy as our lead, and I couldn't have been happier to have her there with us. We had a couple of random silly things we wanted to do during photos, and Buffy and her team took care of everything and knocked it out of the park. We already received our photos, and everything from that day was captured truly perfectly.
If you don't hire Lifelong as your photographer for your big day, you are absolutely missing out.

When I met the Lifelong Photographers a year ago at a bridal expo, I knew I had to book them. I'm so happy I did. They photographed our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and we couldn't be any happier. Gabrielle, Eden, & Cassandra were amazing and made all of our photo goals reality. They went as far as printing out our "most wanted photos" to reenact them at our wedding. They never missed anything! Can't wait to book them again for future maternity and baby photos! Thank you Lifelong!

If you’re still looking for a wedding photographer, look no further, you’ve found the one! Buffy and her team are so sweet, energetic, and they really know their stuff. They shot our wedding this past weekend and I could not have been happier! They are so experienced and they were able to help with so many little things, they went out of their way to make sure that my husband didn’t see me on the way to the venue and their happy smiles and energetic personality really helped keep us going. I would hire them all over again! Can’t wait to see our photos!

The whole lifelong team is so amazing to work with and they get back to you with any question you might have in such a fast and timely manner. We had an unfortunate situation happen with your wedding coordinator, and they had no problem giving me a call and working/talking to me about working out a day of timeline that worked out perfect. We had Buffy as our main photographer, she is so unbelievably nice and takes amazing pictures! My husband and I love looking at our wedding photos. I would totally recommend Buffy and the Lifelong team to anyone!

After planning my wedding I can say that your photographer is the most important vendor and Lifelong is the best choice that you can make. Buffy was my photographer but the entire staff at Lifelong is there for you every step of the way to your big day. They are always eager to help with any questions big or small and they always have solutions available. Buffy did my engagement session, my boudoir session and her and her assistant shot my wedding. Buffy makes you feel comfortable in front of her camera and it’s fun taking pictures with her it’s a very relaxed and enjoyable experience even when it’s not something you’re used to. The day of my wedding she and her assistant with my right and my left hand. They kept my head on straight and kept track of my timeline and just let me enjoy being the bride. If I didn’t have them with me on the day of my wedding it would not have run as smooth. And on top of being the best to work with their pictures and quality are bar none the best out there!!!

Where do I begin! Buffy is the most amazing person ever! Stop what you’re doing and book her studio now! We had the honor of Buffy shooting our wedding and she made us feel so confident and like experienced models! We also had Eden who is the sweetest human ever! They took their time to make sure we got every shot we could possibly think of! They even added extra touches to go along with our subtle Disney themed wedding! We are already trying to come up with another reason to book life long studio again!

Buffy and Gabrielle are absolutely amazing! Everyone at Lifelong made the planning process, engagement photos, and wedding day go so smoothly. We love their style, which seems to be consistent across their whole team. They are such a talented group, and they delivered so much more than they promised. Buffy and Gabrielle got every shot we wanted, but they also got so many more creative shots that we never would have thought of and absolutely love! They made the wedding day so much fun. They worked hard, but it was so evident that they genuinely love their job. We love all of the detail shots they got, and we relive our wedding day every time we look through the beautiful photos. They have truly captured the lifelong memories we will cherish forever. We are so happy that we chose Lifelong, and we cannot thank Buffy and Gabrielle enough!

Booking Lifelong Photography Studio was hands down the best decision we ever made for our wedding! Our wedding and engagement photoshoot plans changed several times even before COVID and the entire Lifelong team was always so accomodating, patient, and provided great insight for all of our questions. Due to various circumstances caused by the pandemic, we had to push up our wedding date by 5 months and thanks to Buffy we were able to have the elopement of our dreams despite only having a short time to plan it. Through several phone calls and texts she and Emily helped us find a venue and make plans and a timeline for our day. Buffy and Emily went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during our day! Kristin edited our photos and she was extremely patient and responsive with us the whole time! Lifelong Photography Studio is so creative, professional, and compassionate and you can tell that they truly care about your wedding photos. Highly recommend Lifelong Photography Studio and we can't wait to work with them again in the future!

I just had my wedding four days ago, so I haven’t seen the pics yet, but I want to rave about how wonderful, nice, and professional Gabrielle and Kate were! They were a pleasure to work with. I didn’t expect an assistant photographer since I only paid for one photographer, so that was a nice surprise! They came early to photograph decor and details. Kate gave my 7 month old a toy rattle after using it to keep him smiling and looking at the camera! They both had a beautiful, positive energy that made me smile even when I was grouchy and tired from no sleep. They didn’t act offended when one of my friends kept taking photos alongside them (I only asked her to take a video of the ceremony), and they even let her borrow a memory card!!! 🤦♀️ Thank you Gabrielle and Kate. I can’t wait to see the photos!

Buffy and Gabe - you girls rock! We just received our photos from our 5/30/20 wedding & they are stunning! These two shot our wedding in Palm Beach and captured every special moment & detail, and then some. Buffy has such a great vision for beautiful photos. Her and Gabe were so sweet, they made it super easy for us to be ourselves in front of the camera. We got our pictures back super fast too!

Buffy photographed my wedding which turned into an elopement secondary to COVID-19. Not only was she flexible with a change of venue but she recommended the venue and it could not have been more perfect. She was able to help make our day so special despite not being able to have our family attend. She was very responsive with any questions or issues that I had. We recently got our sneak peek of our photos and could not be happier. She does simply amazing work and I could not have asked for a better photographer. Do yourself a favor and hire Buffy!

Buffy and Eden were wonderful!! We really enjoyed working with both of them to do our wedding photos. They were so much fun and made it a great experience for our whole wedding party. Our pictures turned out so beautiful! I just can't get enough of them. They turned out better than I could have possibly hoped for. I am so glad I found Lifelong at a wedding expo I went to. Their whole team is so friendly and easy to work with. Thank you again Buddy and Eden!!

Cheryl and Kristin were amazing to work with! Definitely recommend doing the engagement session so you can get to know your photographers ahead of the wedding day. Everyone at Lifelong is super communicative and helped us to feel comfortable with everything in advance. We had tons of pics to choose from and the quality is perfect!

Buffy and Anna we’re amazing for our wedding! We met Buffy during our engagement shoot two months before our wedding. My husband and I were a little nervous because professional photo shoots aren’t really our thing. However, from the moment we started Buffy made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We had Buffy and Anna for the day of our wedding and they were so great. I was extremely nervous up until our first look and Buffy did a great job of making me feel more comfortable and at ease. I was not sure of a location for where I wanted to take our pictures and they picked some beautiful spots. Both Buffy and Anna were extremely professional. I would definitely recommend Lifelong Photography for any occasion.

Buffy and her team are outstanding! They really put their whole heart in to their work and made us feel like we were their only clients. The pictures for both our engagement shoot and wedding turned out amazing. We couldn’t be happier with them and would recommend them to anyone.

Our experience with Lifelong was nothing short of perfection. Buffy and her partner were thorough and did a great job capturing our wedding day. We got married at the Florida Aquarium, which can be very tricky to photograph well due to low lighting settings and reflections from the large tank - but they knew just how to tackle the difficulties and delivered wonderful moments we will cherish forever. Highly recommend!

When I started looking for wedding photographs, Lifelong Photography Studio immediately caught my eye! Their photographs are STUNNING! From the day I called for information to now, everyone at Lifelong Photography Studio has been so kind, gracious, and professional. The extremely talented Buffy shot our engagement photos and she truly exceeded my expectations! She made my fiancée and I feel so comfortable and at ease, we had the best time! I couldn't ask for a better photographer and team to trust with capturing our special day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lifelong Photography Studio; they are simply the best!
