    Amazing! Book Marcela!

    Marcela was a God send for us. I had an untraditional and stressful start to my wedding day. I had originally booked and paid in full for CineaVerde (owner, Jon Crocker) to shoot our wedding. An hour before the ceremony start time, CineaVerde was a no show. Jon was texting with my wedding coordinator stating he was “on the way”. Instinctively, my coordinator had a bad feeling about CineaVerde not showing up (which he never did) and decided to call another videographer to see if by any chance she could show up quickly! Our ceremony was minutes from starting but Marcela dropped everything and came to our rescue! We were only delayed 15 minutes from our original ceremony start time. Marcela came in with ease, hooked up audio, and videoed our entire ceremony and reception. I can never formulate the words to give her the credit she deserves. The wedding industry needs more people like you, Marcela! Working with her after the wedding has been easy and stress free. I know I will love the finished product. My only regret is not finding and booking her first.

    Very pleased with Southernmost Bride. It was a very comfortable and fun experience. Marcela made our wedding day so special. Communication before and after was excellent. Everything went smoothly. So very pleased with our photographs (taken by Marcela's husband, Solaris). I highly recommend Southernmost Bride for your special day.

    Marcela was amazing throughout our entire day. She was so helpful during our wedding planning process and every time I looked up I saw her running around catching all the great moments of our wedding day. We were so lucky to have her and her husband Solaris at our wedding, one of the best decisions we ever made was selecting both of them! I would HIGHLY recommend Southernmost Bride to anyone in the future, they are best duo on the island hands down!!!! Thank you sooooooo much Marcela for capturing our special day!

    Marcela was the videographer for our wedding this past July in Key West! We had 150 guests and Marcela captured it all!!! She got the most amazing, clear, smooth footage from our ceremony at The Basilica of St. Mary, then she traveled on the trolley with us capturing even more footage and then got amazing stuff at Ft. Zachary of us and the entire bridal party! We then had our reception at the Ocean Key Resort and Marcela did an amazing job of capturing the scene, the feel and whole spirit of our wedding. She got all the speeches, dancing and special moments in such a beautiful way! The best part was that you did not even notice that she was there. She was so kind, attentive and hardworking.
    When I first reached out to Marcela she was extremely helpful and always responded right away. Our video and montage is absolutely the most beautiful and heartfelt rendition of our wedding day! Thank you beyond words for creating such a beautiful and outstanding compilation of the most special day in my life. Every single one of my friends said her 7 minute montage made them cry so much and as my best friend said to me, "she is obsessed with the video". Thank you marcela for making such a memorable and unforgettable video for us! I would highly recommend them for videography for your wedding!

    Marcela was one word INCREDIBLE! She was so easy to work with. My video and video montage were so wonderful. It makes me cry every time I see it. She got everyone in it. It's surprising how fast the day goes by so it was so fabulous to see everything that went on that day. We had her husband as our photographer that day too. The two of them were such a pleasure to work with. Marcela even had a timeline all set up before my wedding planner did! I would highly recommend Marcela for your videography!

    We decided to throw together a rather quick destination wedding in Key West, Florida. I can't tell you how happy we are that we chose Southernmost Bride. They are efficient, courteous, flexible and great to work with. I highly recommend them!

    Both Solaris and his wife, Marcela, help to make our wedding so very special. Solaris was fantastic to work with! He picked up on our wants before we even knew what we wanted and from the looks of the photos he showed us, took so many incredible shots.

    I had no idea how important it would be to have a photographer who made us feel comfortable and that we got along with - we kept joking that we were so glad Solaris is such a great guy because we spent the most time with him that night! We had so much fun during the photo shoot time (even if I was complaining that I needed a drink!).

    We could not have been happier and could not have chosen a more perfect photographer! Marcela was so incredibly helpful in the prep process and even book our officiant for us! My only regret is that we didn't hire her as a videographer. Solaris is hands down one of the most talented, fun and creative photographers ever. No one should hesitate to hire them! For examples of his work, check out my main image and the other photo I uploaded. Fantastic!

    Wedding was exactly what I wanted and all the details thought out by Marcela. She was always available to help me, referring
    people to do my hair/makeup. The day of the ceremony was awful windy, but they managed to work around it, giving us a awesome CD of pictures to take home.

    Marcela was GREAT! I was so nervous about how everything would go the day of the ceremony, after meeting with her when we arrived in Key West I felt so comfortable that I didn't have a worry in the world. She wrote the most beautiful vows for us that when we go back and look at the photos we were all smiling and had tears of joy. Thank you Marcela for such a wonderful experience!

    When I seen Solaris' portfolio there was no other choice for me, Solaris was the only choice! I truly was happy with their service and I am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of my photos, they are en route!!! I am truly impressed with the fast service of the pictures being edited and shipped to me.
    Thank you again for truly making my wedding day wonderful!

    My new husband and I were 100% completely satisfied in the service we received from Solaris, I am now anxiously awaiting for my dvd to arrive which was shipped to me 2 weeks after my wedding! My husband said "Now that is service!" When I told him the pictures were on the way to us! If I had to recommend a photographer in Key West Florida, as I said to them, "There is no choice, Solaris is the only choice!"

    Marcela and Solaris,


    I wanted to write again and let you know that we played the video and looping cd of the pictures at our wedding celebration/reception here at home last night. Everyone loved the pictures and commented how great the photographer was! We turned on the video, and I was shocked how quiet the room got. Everyone was engaged and, to our surprise, there was a very special moment in the room that seemed like everyone felt like they were there for the wedding ceremony. Thank you for giving us all that opportunity. You both did such an extraordinary job capturing the emotion and joy of our very special day. Reverend Steve was awesome. Dan and I are overwhelmingly pleased with everything. Both the wedding and the celebration were perfect and a lot of it was due to the both of you.


    Thank you again. If we ever are asked for referrals for any of the services we used in Key West, we'll certainly give both of you our highest recommendation, along with Pastor Steve, Elena at Casa Salon, Publix bakery and Finnegan's Wake.


    Thank you just doesn't seem like enough to express how we feel, but sincerely thank you.


    Linda and Dan

    Solaris's pictures caught the romantic mood so fantastically and are simply beautiful, the unforgettable butterfly release, the sunset at Ft Zachary Taylor Park as well as the photos on the middle of Duval Street. The pictures were varied and plain awesome.
    Marcela, Solaris's wife, thank you wholeheartedly for your patience with us when planning this wonderful and unforgettable day. Smathers Beach was exactly the place we hoped for. Your video gave our friends and family a great impression of the ceremony’s atmosphere and helped giving them an understanding why we chose this place. We would also like to thank you for choosing Nika for the ceremony, she did it perfectly completed the location. The ceremony was exactly the way we dreamed it up to be and you made it this way! We well never forget! Thank you so much! Warm greetings from cold and frosty Germany! Tim + Britta

    Marcela and Solaris (Southernmost Bride) were just wonderful. A storm was moving in, so they even rushed around to move the ceremony up an hour so we could beat the storm -- and we did.

    They were very accommodating, responsive and professional. I would definitely recommend their services.

    Marcela was great all around in helping me prepare for the wedding. I had special requests for a hair flower and even changing the boutonniere to match. She did a great job with my request. Our flowers were amazing! The photos were even more amazing. I could not believe how beautiful they turned out. Solaris walked in and knew exactly what he was doing. We can not thank either of them enough. The ceremony was nice and we were able to include our own vows. Marcela also helped with our additional photo location and gave information on where I should get hair and make-up done! We had zero stress and got to enjoy ourselves. If I have to do my wedding all over again I would not change a thing. My husband feels that same way. He does not get into photos at all but he was so proud to show off our pix to friends and Family!!!

    Solaris did an excellent job of capturing our Key West wedding. He was very easy to talk to and very patient while directing people into positions for various shots. He did an amazing job of using the natural beauty of Key West to create beautiful pictures. My husband and I are very pleased we chose Solaris as our photographer.

    Fantastic duo these two are! During most of the planning we communicated through email and they were very quick with the responses . They are very professional and they love what they do as it shows in their work. I got the copy of our pictures the very next day! I would recommend them to everyone. They really made our day complete!

    Solaris and Marcella were so helpful when I was choosing a photographer. Marcella returned countless emails and phone calls answering every little question that I had. Solaris arrived to our hotel room before the wedding to take pictures of the girls getting ready. It was very fun and he jumped right in and started taking pictures. He was very easy to work with before and during the ceremony and reception. Throughout the whole time, Solaris was there but not distracting. I have been to weddings where I started watching the photographer instead of the bride and groom because they were all over the place and "Large" with their movements. Solaris seemed to sneek all over the place.
    My discs of pictures were ready within the week. The pictures are amazing. I am pretty positive he got at least one picture of every single person that attended the wedding and reception. Our photos turned out beautiful. My only (and very minor) suggestion is more for the creative photo part of it. He had great ideas for the groom and myself but for the group photos I would have liked to have a few more suggestions regarding fun/creative poses. But this is hardly a complaint. I am merely suggesting that any future brides that want creative poses should have some in mind. I am very pleased with the nearly 2000 photos I have to remember my special day. And the value was reasonable, as well. When I consider the time and helpfullness of Marcella and then the professionalism and talent of Solaris, I would say I got a great deal.
