  Stunning surprise proposal photos

  Karl recently photographed my surprise engagement and I am absolutely in love with the photos we received. He was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable, after such an exciting surprise. The edits are stunning - light, airy, beautiful, natural. These photos are worth every cent. I would recommend Karl to anyone looking for someone who is easy to work with, trustworthy with getting the perfect shot, and natural photos. Thank you, Karl!

  STUNNING photos & so fun to work with!

  Karl is the type of wedding vendor you meet once in a great while - he truly goes above and beyond for his clients and he did everything in his power to make our day special. I have not received our final portfolio of photos yet as our wedding was just a week ago, but I am reviewing now because I am that impressed with him.
  
  We booked Karl for our destination wedding as well as an engagement shoot. The engagement photos were fun to take and were a great opportunity for us to get familiar with Karl! In October of 2022 we were thrown for a loop when our original wedding venue was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Karl was flexible and more than willing to work with our new venue. He also helped us choose a new venue by offering his insight about each that we were choosing! Since we did not live in Naples it made a huge difference for us to get a real opinion on our new options.
  
  When we came down for a second menu tasting at the new hotel, Karl met with us again to walk through our wedding day and had some really fantastic options for first-look photos up his sleeve at an off-site location we never would have known about before. He also gave great pizza recommendations!
  
  On the day of the wedding itself, Karl was just amazing. He directed photos so effortlessly and got along so well with my bridesmaids that he honestly could have just fit right into our friend group. He helped them figure out how to bustle my dress, helped me find shade and water when I was overheating, and helped me find a shady place for my bouquet to live so it still looked great in photos. He stuck around to take sunset photos for us and they are some of my favorites. His photo style is light and airy and natural and I can just tell that these pictures are going to look classy and timeless for years to come. Everyone I have shown our sneak peek pictures too says they look like they belong on the cover of a magazine and I have to say I agree!
  
  If you are looking for a wedding photographer who does great work, is incredibly responsive and helpful, easy and fun to work with, and just great to be around, you cannot go wrong with Karl!!!!!!!

  Truly the best

  Karl and his wife, Nanette, traveled from Naples FL to Savannah GA to shoot our wedding and rehearsal, and I cannot sing their praises enough!! They are both extremely professional but also very personable and playful. They made taking our photos so much fun but were able to keep us (and our large somewhat wild wedding party) on track and on schedule. It ended up raining throughout most of our outdoor wedding and first look, which was quite stessful, but Karl and Nanette kept us calm and collected with their positivity and leadership. They took the reigns and were able to quickly adapt and help create the best plan B. They even held umbrellas over us in between shots! They are truly wonderful people to spend your most important day with! Prior to the events, Karl also went out of his way to understand my hopes and vision for our wedding photos. He is extremely talented in what he does and I would trust him to shoot my wedding 100 times over! Without a doubt would recommend Luminaire Foto for all your photography needs!!

  patient, kind & easy to work with

  My husband and I loved working with Karl and his team this past weekend (3/26). He knew the ins and outs our venue (Ritz Carlton) and made sure to get the best shots for the weather, time and groups of friends/family. His easy going and fun loving personality made taking pictures actually enjoyable. He made us laugh and feel at ease during a super stressful day. If you are need of the perfect photographer, book Karl right away!

  AMAZING Photographer and Person!!

  From the first phone call I had with Karl, I knew that Karl was going to be a beyond amazing addition to our wedding day vendors. Karl’s professionalism, attention to detail & positivity made me feel so comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. All of our photos were executed seamlessly from getting ready, to first looks and family photos and so on. Karl made it easy for my now husband and I to enjoy our whole day while he helped move things along through our timeline. He prepared me for the little things the week before and helped me conquer them the day of. We have the MOST emotional family (lucky us!) and Karl was so considerate and patient with us during all of our emotional moments throughout the day. Not to mention, Karl is just so fun to be around!! Everyone in our wedding enjoyed spending time with him. During our engagement shoot 10 months before our wedding, my now husband and I basically forgot we were taking photos halfway through as we were just enjoying hanging out and talking with Karl throughout the entire shoot. Karl will really get to know you and shows a unique care and effort for your big day. And your photos will be amazing. You can’t go wrong by choosing Karl to photograph your wedding!

  Amazing, professional, and stress-free experience

  I cannot speak highly enough about Karl and Luminaire Foto. Karl’s professionalism, attention to every detail and passion exceeded my wildest expectations for my beach wedding in Marco Island, Florida. When you book an event with Karl, you are not only contracting a phenomenal photographer, but more importantly you are booking an advocate who is focused on ensuring your special day is captured to its fullest extent. On our special day, we encountered unusual weather as a thick layer of fog cascaded over the beach, ensuring we would not receive ‘traditional’ wedding photos. While some brides (and photographers) may have been upset with Mother Nature’s curveball, Karl’s excitement and passion for such a unique opportunity eased our worries and ultimately, we are blessed with extraordinary photos that no other couple will have. Words cannot describe how highly we think of Karl and we can promise that you will not endure a moment of stress if you choose him for your wedding.

  Professional, Great Personality

  Nothing negative to say about Karl at Luminaire Foto. Professional, responsive, and fun to be around. To us, our wedding pictures were going to be one of the most important factors in our wedding, aside from the food and DJ. Karl also helped alleviate some of the concerns that we had about doing a first look. HIGHLY recommend doing the first look- because Karl knows what he is doing and it was one of the most beautiful moments on our wedding day. Karl played more than the role of a photographer on that day and he pays attention to details beautifully. His assistant was beautiful and kind as well. Will be having his wife do maturnity shoot in the future :)

  Destination Ritz Carlton Naples Wedding

  When choosing a photographer for our wedding, it involved more than simply looking at their previous photos.
  We wanted someone who would take beautiful pictures, but we also wanted someone who we got along with and understood what we wanted on our wedding day. Karl was not only the perfect photographer for the job, but he far exceeded our expectations. First, and most importantly, Karl managed to capture every special moment from our wedding. The pictures were professional, perfect, and beautiful. But, in addition to those perfect pictures, Karl made our wedding day go that much smoother. When necessary, he managed to be blend in and go unnoticed. When it was time for group pictures, he was efficient and respectful of the fact that no one wanted to spend too much time taking pictures—all while managing to capture the perfect pictures. Karl adapted to every scenario during the day. Karl managed to continue taking beautiful photos when bridesmaids went missing. Karl also adapted to the unpredictable weather. It was extremely windy on our wedding day and Karl worked with the wind to capture romantic shots.
  And when we couldn’t figure out the bustle on my dress, Karl served as an impromptu assistant helping with my dress malfunction. If you’re unsure whether you should use Karl for your special day, my husband (who is NOT a fan of pictures) best summarized Karl the day after our wedding—“Karl was the perfect person for the job and I would recommend him to anyone getting married.”

  Professional and thoughtful

  From engagement photo shoot, to the rehearsal dinner and the big day, we knew that Karl was a pro. He is thoughtful, smart, intuitive and organized. As the mother of the bride and the person who worked with all of the vendors, Karl was a pleasure. We were happy to have him with us for the weekend and he was never intrusive. His work is beautiful and very personal. You could not ask for a better photographer.

  Literally amazing

  Karl was originally a “never going to happen, out of my price range” vendor for my wedding, but the longer I looked at his website and talked to other people he’s worked with, the more I realized I had to have him.
  
  He is worth every single penny. My husband hates being photographed, but Karl put him at ease right away. From the perfectly orchestrated First Look to the impressive efforts to capture my dream “floaty veil” shot on a non-windy day, Karl’s commitment and professionalism are priceless.
  
  Karl can be instructive when he needs to be (“stand here and tilt your head this way”), but he also helped us feel relaxed enough to just be ourselves and act how we normally behave around each other, which is where I believe the truly amazing photos come from.
  
  Karl truly cared about us and made a point to bring up certain details about my relationship with my husband that I had only mentioned in passing. My “something blue” was a necklace my husband gave me for Christmas the first year we were dating; during our First Look, Karl said, “Did you ever think when you gave her that necklace five years ago that you’d end up marrying her?” My husband instantly became misty-eyed and Karl snapped the photo. Out of all the snapshots of our day, that one is my favorite.
  
  Karl went above and beyond to capture our wedding—both the moments on our shot list and the candid moments, too. I’m thrilled with his work and cannot recommend him enough.

  Absolutely Magical!

  Karl helped to make my engagement the most magical night ever. My fiancé hired him to be there to capture the moment and Karl went above and beyond. He took hundreds of pictures and switched up the poses, backgrounds, and effects. He sent us the photos within hours of taking them and they were perfect! The moment was surreal and thanks to Luminaire Photo I am able to look back and relive it over and over again.

  Amazing experience with Karl

  Where to begin with Karl?! We first met Karl when he came to Miami for our engagement session in 2019. My (now) husband and I felt completely at ease with him and he made the experience so much fun and not nearly as awkward as I anticipated. I was hesitant to have the engagement session, out of fear that it could look "cheesy;" however, our pictures were stunning. It also was a great way for us to get to know Karl before the big day. My mother-in-law also contracted with Karl to photograph our rehearsal dinner, so we got to spend even more time with Karl before the wedding. Karl is kind, thoughtful, has a wonderful sense of humor, and his work is stunning! We are so excited to see our photos, but know that they will be everything we ever dreamed of. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karl and I encourage all brides to book with him :)

  Couldn't be happier with these photos

  I recommend Luminaire Foto to anyone who wants beautiful and timeless wedding photos! They were INCREDIBLE to work with. My husband and I were very picky with how we wanted our photos to turn out (light, airy, bright greenery, not overly posed, etc.). Karl spent hours on the phone getting to know our personalities and vision for our wedding day. He then built out a timeline that made our entire day go smoothly. We ended up having his wife, Nanette, as our photographer for the day and she was EXCEPTIONAL! Her personality automatically makes you feel at ease and her photos are breathtaking. She captured emotion, color, and moments in such a special and timeless way. We are SO HAPPY with all our images. I plan to use them again as we have maternity or kiddo photos in the future. They are a pleasure to work with and just so talented!!

  Amazing!!!

  Karl and his team were amazing to work with for our wedding day in Fort Myers Beach. Everyone was so complementary and the sneak peek photos we've received thus far turned out beautiful. Karl was a joy to work with, we definitely made the right decision!

  AMAZING Photographer!

  My husband and I used Luminaire Foto for our wedding this past May. We absolutely LOVED working with Karl and his lovely wife Nanette. Karl was extremely professional from the start and even dealt with my very detail oriented mom who asked a ton of questions. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with and be around but he took incredible photos for us and really captured the day. My husband and I were very adamant that we didn’t want to do a first look and with our tight wedding day timeline, Karl was very honest with us about what we could expect and came up with a great idea to do a day after shoot with just my husband and I to make sure we got the perfect shots. We also used Karl for our engagement shoot. I wanted something a little different for the engagement shoot and Karl suggested we do it on a sailboat which lead to some amazing photos that we will cherish forever! I can’t speak highly enough about Karl and Luminaire Foto! He is definitely one of the best if not the best wedding photographer in Southwest Florida!

  Awesome photographers

  We chose Luminaire from a list of preferred vendors given to us by our venue since we were planning our wedding from Maryland. Karl was very responsive to emails and we spoke on the phone a few times prior to the event. However, I was still nervous about picking them without ever meeting and worried that it wouldn't seem natural when we started since they would be strangers.
  
  As soon I met Karl all of my worries subsided. Karl, Nanette and Stella were all so friendly and made everyone in the wedding feel comfortable and natural taking pictures. They were friendly and just made it feel so easy. They caught all of our special moments and had everyone laughing and smiling the whole day/night.
  
  We opted to include their foto booth option - everyone had so much fun wearing the props, pictures were emailed immediately, and they look great!
  
  Book them for your wedding now!!!!!!!

  Absolutely recommend

  I cannot say enough amazing things about luminaire! Both Karl and Nanette are absolutely wonderful to work with, pay such great attention to detail, and are genuinely just amazing people. Their passion for their work is so evident and it shows immediately that you are in great hands. Karl made us feel so comfortable and listened to everything and anything I dreamed of for our day (no matter how crazy it may have been :)) They made our entire wedding day and captured moments that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful!

  Highly Recommend

  
  Karl was incredible!
  
  Luminaire Foto did an absolutely beautiful job for our wedding!!! I would choose him again and again! The photos that we got are so natural and graceful.
  
  We felt so comfortable with him. I am awkward and stiff taking pictures by myself but he really helped me relax. It helped that we met with him before hand to discuss family dynamics for photos and different combinations.
  On the day of the wedding he was so incredibly calm, professional and efficient. We had A LOT of family photos and the ceremony ran over but he was so efficient with directing the huge crowd of people that he got all the different combinations we asked for without feeling like we spent the whole day posing for pictures!
  
  I also usually find dancing pictures to be more awkward but I LOVE the pictures of our reception. He captured what a wonderful time everyone was having on the dance floor. He was absolutely perfect!

  Karl and Nanette of Luminaire Foto were an amazing husband wife team to work with from day one. They not only made me feel comfortable from day one with our choice but they were in constant communication with myself and our wedding planners and responded quickly to any questions and emails we sent. I felt so comfortable and at ease on the wedding day, which is not easy for me to be since I am not a huge picture person and do not love the camera. If you have any doubt about this team throw it out the window as they will exceed anything you can imagine. Now I just have to wait for the rest of the pictures which I am sure will be just as incredible as the sneak peek.

  I absolutely loved working with Karl and Nanette. Not only are they extremely talented photographers, but they are also two of the kindest people you will ever meet! Karl met with me well in advance of our wedding to start making the timeline, and his clear expertise and organization put me at ease immediately. I later met Nanette when she shot our engagement photos. She traveled across the state to our location and spent hours with us shooting the perfect photos (while pregnant!). We received the beautifully edited pictures within a few weeks, and the results truly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding experience was no different. Karl and Nanette arrived on site early and full of energy. They were extremely flexible and worked with our unconventional “getting ready” location. At the ceremony venue they kept us on schedule, took so many incredible photos and did a fantastic job of keeping everyone cool and calm. I can’t wait to hire them again for another big occasion because they’re truly the VERY best!

  Karl. Is. The. Best!

  I cannot say enough good things about Karl! Before the wedding, he met with me and got all my preferences and special requests and made me extremely comfortable and confident that he understood my vision for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was such a positive presence! Not only was he a master of corralling all the kids and family members for pictures, but he completely read my energy when I was getting frustrated with some family members and whisked me off to do couple shots and kept me calm and happy. He is a wonderful person and his pictures speak for themselves.
  
  I am the third sister to get married this year, and we all used Luminaire Foto. The pictures are all incredible and all show our different personalities and wedding vibes. I recommend him to the fullest extent and am so grateful that he was a part of my special day! Thank you, Karl!
