    Grand Floridian surprise proposal

    The Canovas’ were instrumental in our engagement day. They really went to extra mile to dress up like tourists, secure a great location, and capture THE moment. They were so kind and professional. We will cherish the photos they got forever

    They are the absolute BEST!

    We wish we could add more than 5 stars! Courtney and Kelly know how to create magic! They are the absolute BEST! They were capturing so many beautiful memories that we will cherish forever! Rest assured, your photos are in great hands. They are so organized, creative, professional, and fun to shoot with! They made us feel comfortable and relaxed during what is easily a stressful time. They were more than our photographers...they became our friends! We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants an amazing experience! We will definitely be lifelong clients! Thank you for being apart of our happily ever after and making our Disney Fairy Tale Wedding a dream come true! ❤️

    Amazing Photographer!

    Thank you to Kelly Canova for taking our incredible engagement photos! Kelly shot the perfect “save the date” photo and also a “change the date” photo (due to COVID). Kelly was able to shoot our photos at the venue of our choice, made us feel comfortable and special! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Julia! So sorry you had to go through having to change your date :( But happy all is well! Congratulations to you both and to your families!

    Just say Yes!

    I am not good when it comes to having a photo taken. Let alone wearing fancy clothes (also not my style, normally) and with so much going on. My husband is also not the most patient person with these things. We needed a photographer to be the calm in the storm, to capture those important moments, yet understand when we were hitting an edge. We found that perfect combination in Kelly and Courtney - The Canovas Photography.

    Kelly and Courtney are both talented artists..,.in more than one medium. (Make sure to look up their work...you may have already seen it and not known!). They took their time, and understood exactly what we wanted...and knew exactly when to jump in, and when to step back. We were able to enjoy our reception without the constant tug for photos throughout. And yet...everything was captured beautifully.

    Thank you Kelly and Courtney!!

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Maria! SO happy that our paths have crossed through our work in the wedding industry and as friends. You and Mike had the sweetest wedding! Thank you so much for including us! xo

    I could have written a review without even seeing the pictures, truly. Working with Kelly and Courtney was a DREAM. One thing you don't want to be is stressed on your wedding day and they made everything run so seamlessly. We laughed so hard with them and loved the ideas they had for pictures. Then we received the pictures and they were above and beyond what we could have imagined, they caught every reaction and emotion effortlessly. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for a team that is not only talented but give you the best bang for your buck hire them. You absolutely won't regret it, I promise! Thank you Kelly and Courtney, you both are amazing and I am so happy we picked you to capture such special moments for us to have for a lifetime!

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    MaryBeth! You are the sweetest. THANK YOU so much for this lovely review - it means so much to us!

    Kelly and her husband have been AMAZING... and we haven't even shot yet!! They were available to shoot for us the same day AND location, where our previous photographer had cancelled our engagement shoot on us last minute! They alleviated our stressful situation, and I know their photos are beautiful already, I can't wait to shoot :)

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    Aww thank you Cierra! You are so sweet, we really appreciate this. Can't wait for Saturday!

    No need to look any further...Kelly and Courtney Canova are the real deal! We had a small ceremony at Reunion Resort, Kissimmee/Orlando, FL and they were on time, took hundreds of photos and were very pleasant to work with. Not to mention all of the emotions they captured in the photos, which turned out awesome.

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Ralph and Avison! We loved spending the day with you guys :) Here's to a great marriage!

    Wow, wow, and wow again. If you are reading this, look no further... I was lucky enough that friends of mine booked The Canovas for their proposal & wedding last year, so I was able to see the photos (if the magical pieces of art and fairy dust magic can be called that). I knew exactly who I would be calling when it was my turn. After recently proposing to my soon to be wife, we planned a last minute trip to Disney World and were so delighted that Kelly and Courtney were able to fit us in their schedule before another shoot they had that day. They were amazing! Even when one of the Disney cast members made a scene about us being engaged and took us up in Cinderella's Castle, they joined right in on the fun; walked up with us, and stayed overtime to be with us. Kelly is a pro, she positioned us in shots that turned out amazingly (she even has a few other tricks up her sleeves), and also let us be playful to capture our true selves. They truly are the best of people, friends, and always treated us like family (while still being so professional). They sincerely deserve all the accolades of awards that they have received (weddingwire, theknot, hall of famers), look them up. Finding someone who really takes the time to get it right, with such poise, is exactly what we wanted in capturing such a momentous event for us. Thank you so much Kelly and Courtney for all that you do!! If you are still reading this, please stop and call The Canovas now to schedule them for whatever your photography needs are, they do it all.

    Kelly and Courtney Canova were exceptional! From the time I booked the last minute Senior pictures for my daughter until the photo session. Very accommodating and professional. My daughter looked stunning in all of her pictures. I also had pictures taken with my 8 month old, which they allowed me to incorporate into my daughter's senior pictures without an additional fee for family photos or extra time allotted. I really enjoyed the picture preview session on a big screen a couple days after the photo session. Was very easy to pick out pictures I wanted and those to discard. Would highly recommend and would be a pleasure to work with the Canovas again!!!

    I had the pleasure of working with Kelly and Courtney for my son's senior picture and head shot session. Together, this husband and wife team are a wonderful combination of creativity and technical savvy. I have to say they created such a memorable day for my son and I truly appreciate the entire experience. Kelly has a great eye for capturing special images. She thinks outside the box to create very unique backgrounds that brought out the best in my son...the photographs represent her sense of artistry and the easy way in which she made my son feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend the Canova team for any event!

    The Canovas Photography have been photographing my family for 5 years. We love their professionalism and passion for their craft. Not only do we use the photos they take for personal memories, but also for images for advertising our business and website. I would highly recommend all of the services The Canovas offer without hesitation. Our Daughter is growing up so fast and the Canovas have been able to capture so many candid and beautiful moments that go beyond beautiful images.

    Thank you Jill! We love photographing your family and that model-to-be daughter of yours :)

    Kelly and Courtney Canova were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. During our wedding planning, they met with us to talk about what we would like for our wedding photographs and make sure they were able to capture everything we wanted. On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable being photographed and made great suggestions for candid pictures while also capturing many spontaneous moments The resulting photos came out so beautifully. They have such a unique style that really captured the magic of our wedding. Also, we are a gay couple and Kelly and Courtney worked with us as flawlessly as they would with a traditional bride and groom. We highly recommend The Canovas Photography for your wedding or any special occasion!

    When I decided I wanted to surprise my husband with a collection of photos for our one year anniversary, I immediately thought of The Canovas. Kelly and I spoke frequently leading up to the shoot, and she immediately understood exactly what I was looking for - something natural, not some glammed-up version of myself.

    Because I knew Kelly understood my vision/ideas, I felt completely comfortable working with her on the day of the shoot. She was encouraging, and had tons of ideas. It was a lot of fun, and I felt like we were collaborators, and I wasn’t simply another name/number on her calendar of appointments.

    The proofs were beautiful! It was hard culling them down to the exact number needed for the small album. My husband absolutely loved his gift. He has a photo framed on his desk at work, and an album that he can look back at for years to come.

    Thanks so much for an amazing experience and, as a result, a unique and priceless gift.

    I would definitely return for a future shoot :)

    The Canovas Photography's reply:

    Thank you SO much Jennifer. I really appreciate this :)

    Both Kelly and her Husband were unbelievable to work with! They made getting your pictures taken a very calming and enjoyable experience for my Fiancé and I. We went into this very nervous and unsure how it would go. Booking a photographer in Orlando while living in Canada has to be a very trustworthy process. Kelly was nothing but Professional from day one.

    During the shoot Kelly and her husband made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We will definitely recommend The Canovas Photography to everyone we know. The pictures came back amazing!! We are so impressed with what they did and are very happy we chose this company.

    The Canovas are absolutely amazing. Our engagement shoot and wedding photos were so stunning. They know how to capture the moment. They are very attentive to detail and very easy to work with. I have had strangers in my town come up to me because they saw our engagement photos on Facebook and commented how great they were. Very personable and care greatly about what they do and they care about what you want for your special day!

    Kelly and Courtney with The Canovas Photography did our engagement photos, and they turned out amazing! Kelly was very responsive over email and had great suggestions to location, attire, etc. We actually were rained out twice before we finally met for the shoot, and she was super flexible when we were scheduling our make-up dates. During the shoot, both she and Courtney made me and my fiance feel at ease, and it was actually fun! Neither of us enjoys being the center of attention, much less spending an hour in front of the camera, but we both agreed we had a great time and love our photos. Thank you :)

    Kelly and Courtney are professional but also relaxed and easy going. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that you can get photos that let your personality shine through. Kelly works with you to understand what products you want while providing valuable suggestions. We put together a graduation announcement with photos purchased from them(also bought other wonderful photos). I have received so many compliments from friends and family on the announcements. We are completely satisfied! I highly recommend Canovas Photography.

    I have worked with the Canovas several times over the last several years both professionally and personally and they always exceed my expectations. It is rare to find a combination of artistic, creative skills and photography expertise, but they do. I am asked who did my headshots all the time. I also worked with them at a previous job in conjunction with a bridal photo shoot and the images from that shoot were gorgeous. Very personable and professional, would highly recommend.

    Kelly and Courtney Canova - Canovas Photography - are AMAZING. Not only are they professional and flexible, they are great people. They share a wonderful passion for photography, art and each other and it shows in their work. Kelly and Courtney started taking our pictures with our engagement shoot and we became friends from that day. They took amazing pictures of us and our son. The engagement shoot got rained out and they offered to reschedule for a different day at no additional cost! The day of the wedding, my guests did not even realize that they were our photographers. Everyone thought that they were just guest of the wedding - that just shows me how well they blended in and did not stand out. It was important to me to not have a ceremony/reception where the photographer was "in your face" and Kelly and Courtney were able to accomplish that. I look forward to working with Kelly and Courtney in the future. They are genuine photographers and people!

    Kelly and Courtney did our engagement and wedding photos. I only have one thing to say.. AWESOME! What a fun, talented, fantastic couple! I could not have asked for more! I had never had a "photo shoot" done and they made it so much fun! Kelly and Courtney were so amazing on my wedding day and after having spent time with them for the engagement shoot, it was like our buddies were there at the wedding taking pictures of us! We were sooo lucky to have found them! Kelly immediately sent me a "sneak peak" of our day and everyone in the family refers to the first picture that she sent as "The cover of a wedding magazine". It is that good! We loved having them at our wedding as photographers, but liked them so much that we included them as guests!

    Kelly was so attentive through my year long planning process and was always there by text or email to answer any questions we had, and we had plenty!

    Thank you Kelly and Courtney for your professional, talented, fun and amazing service!! We miss you!

    Beth and Jake
