Noelle Goveia Photography

mera-shy husband to feel comfortable when she was photographing us for our engagement and wedding photos. She was also not afraid to direct us in our photos by telling us how to pose or if we were doing something that didn't look right in the photos. She really helped us have fun and enjoy the experience of having our photos taken. We were able to do a mix posed and "spontaneous" pictures; all of which she let us see to choose our favorites (even the silly ones). Secondly, It was very easy to communicate with Noelle via email and phone because she is quick to respond. She even emailed me from time to time, leading up to the wedding, to share ideas and inspiration photos for our engagement photos and ideas for wedding day photos (as she did her own research into the venue). Noelle really showed that she cared about our individual wedding and the quality of our photography experience which was fantastic especially when I felt like I wasn't doing enough of the own research when I got too busy planning other things! Thirdly, on top of being someone who is super fun and easy to get along with; Noelle is also very organized and professional which really made me feel like I was in good hands throughout the process of working with her. We were able to embed picture taking into our wedding without it stopping us from enjoying our day with our guests. I would highly recommend choosing Noelle Goveia Photography for your wedding because I have been so pleased with my experience with her. People invest a lot of money in wedding photography and its good to have a photographer who is transparent, makes you feel comfortable, and makes sure that you end up with a photo album (included in her price).

res spontaneous moments. She is very professional, I am self-conscious when I am photographed and she made me feel very comfortable. The photos she took were so amazing. When I was being photographed I could tell she knew what she was doing. When I saw the photos I was in awe of how well done they were. We had a backyard wedding and the photos were beautiful. Noelle is truly an artist. I am so happy that she was able to capture such a important event. Whenever someone is getting married she is the first name I recommend.

She was on time, very reliable, and she is someone who makes you feel super comfortable around her. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous and she is very creative and she takes the time to listen to what you want. I would absolutely recommend Noelle for any once in a lifetime event!

le as our photographer. The pre planning with Noelle was simple, clear, and most of all straight forward. It was clear from the moment we talked what options we had, pricing, and the expectations we would be receiving. I told her a couple ideas I had wanted for pictures and gave her some general ideas about where we wanted to take pictures the day of the wedding and from there she took care of the rest! The day of our wedding Noelle showed up with a smile on her face, a great attitude, and most of all a sense of calmness. She made the photography experiences completely relaxing, stress free, and most of all fun! Every couple in the back of there mind fears that there wedding pictures wont turn out as good as they had hoped ( I mean you are looking at these photos for the rest of your life, You want them to be amazing!). I have to say our wedding pictures were everything we wanted and more! She truly listened to what my vision was for the wedding. She captured it all! Another great bonus to working with Noelle was that we along with the rest of the wedding party received our photos online right after the wedding (in our case first photos online that could have ordered and printed, then a cd of all the photos, then our wedding album ). Noelle is a person who truly enjoys what she does for a living and it shows! If you choose Noelle you wont be disappointed!

ndations on pretty much all aspects of the wedding. She met with my fiance and I on one of our trips to Miami to walk the reception location and get an idea of what we wanted and take the time to get to know us. The day of she was on time, professional and everyone at the wedding adored her. So far, the preview pictures have been gorgeous and I can't wait to see them all!!!

le and my prayers were anwsered! I can truly say that choosing Noelle was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. Noelle is such a breath of fresh air! Her wonderful personality and charm instantly helped my nervous husband & I feel comfortable during our engagment photos and on our wedding day it was if we had known her for years which made all the difference in the world on the most important day in our lives. Noelle always anwsered my numerous emails promptly and I can honestly say she was the only stress free part about preparing for my wedding. I can't wait to call her and tell her it's time to schedule maternity pictures! Noelle, Thank you more then words can say! Olivia & Michael

fortable at both the engagement shoot and at our wedding. Since this was our first experience being professionally photographed we were somewhat nervous but she had us laughing and put us at ease. The results are gorgeous photos that we will cherish for life. Not only is she a talented photographer, she is also very efficient at running her business. We had proofs of our photos within day of the events. She responded very quickly to all of my emails and has just made everything so EASY. I also loved all of the personal notes that came along with each item (CDs, photo box, etc.) Attention to detail is something that means a lot to me and Noelle definitely delivered.

for photography. Her eye allowed us to take advantage of the lighting we were graced with on our wedding. We were married on the beach on what turned out to be an overcast day. We were initially disappointed that it wasn’t sunny, but Noelle showed us that overcast days provide the ideal lighting as things aren’t too bright/washed out and no huge shadows are cast. And so Noelle helped direct us to take additional pictures in especially well-lit portions of the beach rather than moving on to a location we had set-up prior. The results were pictures that were better than what we could have hoped for. In addition to her highly tuned photographic skills, Noelle has a wonderfully amiable disposition and did an outstanding job organizing the large group in our bridal party and wedding. I failed to realize how crucial those qualities are until the day of the wedding. I was reunited with my best friends and family, and obviously pre-occupied with the ceremony. We needed a photographer who could wrangle everyone in to take all the shots we wanted. Noelle was able to do the job perfectly with her wit, charm, and easy-to-talk to personality. Overall we can’t say enough good things about Noelle. Having her as our photographer was definitely one of the highlights of the most important day in our lives. We recommend her with the highest degree of confidence.

et so many positive comments from friends, family and co-workers about our photos. Upon first meeting Noelle, she first impressed us with her professionalism. For example, Noelle would always promptly respond to our e-mails and with very detailed, thoughtful responses. Additionally, Noelle is such a cool and funny person--our guests just loved her! I got lots of comments regarding Noelle from family and guests about how "fun" and "personable" she was with them. Our guests felt at ease with her, which definitely helped to get good photos from the shy guests. We had experience with a photographer the following day because we had a Hindi ceremony. But unfortunately, Noelle was not the photographer for this event. It was like night and day because this photographer was nothing like Noelle! This other photographer was not assertive or adept at giving directions to us or our guests, was very unsure of herself and kept moving us to find better lighting, and left before the reception was over. Unfortunately, all of this resulted in photos that were not even close to the quality photos taken by Noelle. I have looked at my photos from Noelle over and over again (I'm obsessed) but sadly I have only looked at the photos from the Hindi ceremony twice (once was for my co-workers to get a good laugh at our poses the photographer had us do). I am so happy that we had Noelle for the Saturday ceremony (I wish she was our photographer for the Hindi ceremony) because it really made such a difference to have someone there with experience and that knows the right lighting to capture the moment. With all this being said, I would highly recommend Noelle to other brides out there because she was able to capture wonderful photos, professional throughout the entire process, and is affordable! Thanks for everything! Carla

w to make me feel at ease in front of the camera. They turned out sexy and playful, exactly how I wanted! Noelle also shot my Bridal photos in Aspen, CO...in the snow! She was such a trooper diving basically into the snow to get the most gorgeous photographs. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She is fabulous and a joy to work with!

res about people. For those like myself who are not photogenic and don't like to be in pictures, she really makes you feel comfortable and puts you at ease. I feel that is a good quality to have in a photographer, because when you look uncomfortable, it will show through in the pictures. Her professionalism in how she handles big groups, from her adaptability to deal with whatever situation comes her way, are other great qualities that she possesses. She has a great imagination and an eye for creativity that allows you to capture the most unique pictures. She can take an average string of lights that are wrapped around a palm tree and turn it into an intimate magical starlight background for the bride and groom. You always hear people say how weddings fly by, so when it is all over, you want amazing pictures that have captured the essence and emotions of that day. When I discuss weddings with people, I always tell them to make sure you have a great photographer—even if you have to spend a little more money. What she can do to a picture is amazing. She can make an good venue look like an amazing venue. Put it this way: the food, DJ, decorations, and venue are gone with the wedding day, but the pictures will always remain. Her passion and artistry gives her that edge to capture those moments that will last a lifetime. She truly enjoys what she does; she is insightful, magical, creative, and professional and it comes through in her pictures.

pictures, but Noelle’s energetic personality brought an upbeat atmosphere of fun that allowed me to relax and feel comfortable. She was able to capture a natural smile that really exemplifies my true personality. The photo session was so much fun that I could hardly believe when it was over and I absolutely love how my pictures came out! I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Throughout the entire process of before, during and after the photos, Noelle was a pleasure to work with, accessible for questions and best of all promptly delivered her work as promised. Noelle is exceptionally talented, refreshingly professional and fun. You will not be disaapointed!

ldren, Noelle has been our go-to photographer. Somehow she is able to get a great shot of my beyond rambunctious boys (now ages 3 and 1 years old). She is very personable and plays with our kids gaining their trust and learning what motivates them to smile. She even held our 3 year old upside-down running around the backyard just to make him laugh (with our permission of course & he loves her). Whether we need photos for our Christmas cards or family photos (including extended family) for our house, Noelle is able to capture memorable moments in a phenomenal way and shot time span. During all of our photo sessions, she also takes gorgeous candid photos – which usually turn out to be our favorites. Noelle has a unique eye and is able to capture photos I couldn’t have even imagined. If you are looking for a professional photographer with true artistic skill, look no further. We love you Noelle! Thank you for all of the beautiful memories!

pictures. The most disappointing was the fact that she only took two pictures of the bride and groom (one full length and one waist up, but same pose). No creativity was used in posing them in front of the venue, reflection pond, or even under the arbor under which they were married. Even though she arrived at the hotel several hours before the wedding, no pictures were taken of the groom getting ready or just hanging out with his groomsmen. The pictures taken of the groom with his groomsmen at the wedding venue were taken in front of a glass window and on many of them, you could see the reflection of the flash. No attempt was made to correct this, thus rendering these pictures useless. No creativity was shown in the pictures taken of the bridal party and families after the wedding...basically same pose for all and many were just waist up only, not showing the full effect of the bridal gown. The one of the full bridal party was nice and did show the arbor. Besides the toast, cake cutting, and bouquet toss, pictures taken at the reception were just of those dancing. Therefore, the older guest who attended and others who did not dance are not shown in any of the photos. It would have been nice if she had gone around and taken pictures of each table, not only to have a picture of all in attendance, but to also show off the beautiful table decorations, which were all different. Her excuse in not getting more pictures, especially of the bride and groom, was that time was cut short due to rain, which delayed the ceremony and that she asked for a list of must have pictures. One would think that a variety of pictures of the bride and groom on their special day would be a given. If you do decide to use Noelle, you would be wise to list every single shot you want, along with noting the background and other details. Personally, it is my opinion that this is something one is paying for and should not be left up to the client, who isn't an experienced wedding photographer.

gh it was her first time working with a deaf couple. Noelle knew how to snapshot at the correct moments, at correct angles. She was also very easy to get along with and very enthusiastic, knew how to make everyone feel at ease with her. She was willing to take pictures of my groomsmen and me at various locations we suggested on the spot prior to the ceremony. My wife and everyone else thought very well of Noelle's work after we received the pictures of our wedding. We feel we made a good decision in choosing her as our wedding photographer and we would recommend her to others.

s if need be (I found my DJ through her and he was awesome, too!) and on the day of the wedding she was an absolute angel. She helped me with my day-of timeline, told me how much times she needed for different types of pictures, and helped me with my bustle a few times! She knows how to set up people for poses and catches all the little moments - this is what makes the wedding album. I loved how during the ceremony and reception I never noticed where she was, but she never missed a shot. Noelle is an amazing photographer, and a truly wonderful person. I couldn't have been happier with her!

he had a ton of creative ideas and was constantly making me and my honey laugh. She is willing to try anything that you have in mind for a particular shot and approaches everything with a smile and an ubeat attitude that is infectious! And the results were AMAZING! She catches those little special moments that you think no one notices, but always wish you had a picture of. Some of my favorite pictures were when she made us believe she was between shots, and we were just goofing aorund being ourselves. You can look at those photos and see the relationship - not just the people. I knew it had gone exceptionally well when as we were leaving my guy said, "that was really fun!" She is punctual, professional, and FUN! You will never feel rushed or awkward with Noelle - she is what I imagine every wedding photographer SHOULD be!

r in the way. Even when my dress strap un-snapped. She was right there to fix me up. A million thank yous. A true asset to any wedding.

few of my guests) had something great to say about her. She's fast, she's efficient, she's creative and she's a hoot! You will really enjoy having Noelle as part of your day. What I love about Noelle, besides everything, is that from the second we hired her, she has made herself available. Any Bridezilla can attest that hours feel like months when you are waiting to hear from a vendor. She was very quick to respond and never left you with any unanswered questions. If you have seen her blog, you know her work speaks for itself. She's a fantastic photgrapher. She creates this atmosphere where you feel relaxed and like yourselves. She has captured the most beautiful moments, expressions, and memories from our engagement photos and wedding that I am so grateful to have. She embraced every one of my strange requests with a laugh and a "Let's do it!" I also love that she took pictures of everything and everyone, not just myself and my groom. She captured some really great candid moments of my husband and I, and my guests that we completely missed. In summation,I have a girl crush on Noelle Goveia. She's a very talented, creative photographer and I look forward to crossing paths with her again soon.

aptured and that it's beautiful. Noelle is such a wonderful photographer, and her quirky personality makes her even more loveable. It can get awkward when you are posing for pictures but Noelle will make you forget about the weirdness with one of her jokes, or with busting out in a sing-a-long (which she did with the groomsmen and they have inducted her into their geek club). I will be using Noelle for all of my photography needs for now on, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Look no further Noelle Goveia is truly the BEST!

works as well as the latest addition of Cosmo says it does...trying to make a decision only to wish that someone would whisper in our ears that it will totally be worth it or it won't. Well this is me and I'm here to be that whisper; I would really like to shout it out, put it on billboards, boats, magazines, and heck I would write it across the sky if I could... To tell you that Noelle is hands down the best photographer I have ever met. Her skill and talent - breathtaking. Her personality - friends-for-life, exceptional. The turn around time of our wedding pictures, within weeks. My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We just got married November 18, 2011. Photography meant everything to me. Both our engagement pictures and wedding photos were done by Noelle, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Reminiscing back on all of it now the rumors are true, at the end of the day it all goes so fast. Noelle was my photographer and I'm so thankful for all of her wonderful pictures. She captured every passing moment and they will forever bring every memory I have, back to life. Her attention to detail and angles give such a modern edge to our photographs. Charismatic, on-point, trendy, and fun - I have not only gained a friend, but a photographer through all of life's exciting events to come. Much like that man or woman of your dreams, she is the photographer you've been searching for. One love, one shot. This is her.

entire day and I was very confident that I'd have many great shots to choose from! All of the pictures turn out both playful and elegant. Looking through the photos you can really get a feel for the wedding, which is exactly what I wanted. I received several compliments from guests about how professional and nice Noelle is-she is unobtrusive and made everyone feel comfortable. Post wedding, Noelle edited the photos and sent the proofs and slideshow to me way faster than I ever expected. She allowed me to pick the photo I wanted for the fabulous photo box to hold all of the pictures. Within a week from selecting the picture, I had a package on my doorstep with all of my wedding pictures to view in person! I was more than impressed with the quality of everything. Now I get to work on my wedding album which I cannot wait to receive because I know it will exceed all expectations! Also, I love the fact that Noelle allows you to select the photos YOU want in the album. If you are like me and have a few questions (or a million!) for her, no worries! Noelle always replied to my emails promptly with innovative ideas and answers. Noelle delivered memories over and beyond anything I could have imaged. I have highly recommend her to many friends and after you work with her, you will too!

the web and kept seeing her website. I looked and she was my favorte but I hesitated calling because I was afraid since her site was so amazing her prices would be astronomical. I finally called her and from 3 sentences into the conversation, I was in love. Her prices were so much better than others out there that are not even comaprable to her. The enagement shoot was a party! We were on my husbands boat out on the water and it was a laugh fest! The pics are amazing and she knew how to get that shot without us having to pose all day. When she showed up at my wedding I was so excited! I couldn't wait to see her! :) She took initiative and grabbed everything and went to town taking pics of dresses and flowers. The groom and groomsmen fell in love with her. They laughed and the pics of them are AWESOME! Her talent is unmatched, her personality is glowing, and she is a warm and loving person. My family cannot stop talking about Noelle, and I cannot wait to use her again for a Trash the Dress and any other excuse I can find to see her! :) Thank you Noelle, you made our day so special!

occasions, her personality and humor made the experience fun and enjoyable. We met for engagement picturess with no clue about where we wanted to take them and after a 5 minute walk she had 3 different places mapped out that I never would have thought of. Noelle kept me calm on my wedding day and went above and beyond, fixing my hair, holding my dress, and even fixing my dress when the bustle broke. By the end of the evening she no longer felt like our photographer but a friend who we'd like to have stay and celebrate with us, without her camera. She was quick to respond to all requests and was punctual each time we met. We would get married all over again just to have her take our picture.

sauna-like weather at mid-day in South Florida (our choice of time and date!). The weather could have really put a damper on our experience but Noelle was ON, full of energy and contagious in the best way possible. She really listened and cared about what we wanted out of our photographs and really exceeded our expectations. We practically saw her brain whirring away as she put thought and attention into each shot. She used our setting in such an imaginative, unexpected way and really highlighted the best of our looks. There is palpable aura and life to our photographs. Noelle clearly possesses the insight needed to truly capture the essence and feelings within the image. (And to completely obliterate any kind of discomfort - weather, etc.) Noelle is professional, punctual, delivered her work promptly and is really generous with her talents. We are so happy we chose Noelle as our photographer and highly recommend her. Noelle - you are phenomenal and we can't wait to have you photograph our plus one ;)

the shoot a little nervous, but the second the shoot started those nerves went right out the window! Noelle had such creative ideas, helping direct me into out-of-this world shots! Her approach was fun while still being professional, which helped ease my nerves. She has an excellent sense of humor and made the whole experience really enjoyable! I would highly recommend Noelle to anyone for anything that requires a camera. Her eclectic talents can encompass anything from bridal to bourdoir to pictures simply for fun! TWO THUMBS UP FOR NOELLE - YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR!!!!

d always make you look like you didn't think you could ever look. Noelle always replied to my emails and call promptly with ideas and solutions to all my questions....which I had a lot of. She is also very fun and upbeat, you will not be bored during your shoot. She goes wayyyy beyond what her job requires her to do and I guarantee you will be in love with your pictures!! Your wedding is such a special day, you need great photos , leave that to Noelle and just have fun!!

e is very professional, yet fun and outgoing which made her a very easy choice as our wedding photographer. The bond was instant between us and her, and the pictures we will always have as beautiful reminders of the most important day of our lives. We just can't thank you enough Noelle. You rock!

someone creative, talented, fun to work with, professional, and overall equipped to photograph my family (if you have ever watched The Big Fat Greek Wedding, you have a slight idea of what my family is like, except, we are Brazilians and not greeks!). We wanted all that at a price that we could afford without killing our budget and when we found Noelle, we clicked right away, she was everything that we were looking for and more: SHE SPEAKS PORTUGUESE!!! Can we say God Sent??!!!! Meant to BE!!!! Bingo!!! Yeah Baby!!!!! We couldn't be happier with our choice, I will recommend her to my friends and family, and we will use her again in a few years to photograph our baby bump, God willing! : ) Sincere thanks Noelle, the J's love you! : )

cessary photos of the evening. Noelle knows how to make a picture come out great! Thank you Noelle!

o be completely relaxed. The time flew by and we absolutely love our pictures!! We will recommend Noelle again and again!
