The husband and wife who are the photographers are so great! They took awesome pictures at the wedding, capturing all the special moments. I would definitely recommend this power couple to anyone. The also offer other services other than weddings which is nice as well. I will be using them to continue taking future family pictures because they are so special and talented.

Russell and Melissa Harp and Branches of Life Photography are the only photographers I would ever consider to capture any significant event for my family. They most recently photographed my niece's wedding in June, 2016, and were consummate professionals from start to finish. They were able to assist my niece with recommendations for everything, from venues, catering, DJ's, rentals, you name it - things that had nothing to do with photographing the event, but they were more than happy to take the time to help when asked. In other words, they went above and beyond anything photography related to make sure everything came together for her special day. When the blessed day arrived they were a "dream team". The fact there are two of them ensures all elements of the special day will be captured. In the end there were more than 3,300 photographs and each one is better and better. Russell and Melissa Harp are amazing people and even more amazing photographers. I would not hesitate to recommend them. You will be blessed by them and their vision and you will have tangible photographic memories you will treasure.

Russell and Melissa were beyond a blessing! When we first met them they drove all the way to Tampa to talk over prices and packages. Once my husband and I sat down with them, my husband who was very worried about having his picture taken and it not looking forced was so completely comfortable with them instantly. We knew right then and there these were the people we wanted to be part of the most amazing day of our lives. They worked with us to make sure we could get the most within our budget, and could make payments. Melissa checked in with us every few weeks and remembered silly things I told her at our first meeting about school, disney and just casual conversation. That blew me away, things like that made the difference. As we got closer to the wedding I became a mess and she was so kind during my crazy moments. The wedding she and Russell were unbelievable. So comforting and professional. The pictures are beyond perfect. I cry every time I see them! Over 3,000 pictures beautifully edited and put on an amazing website so that we can share them with all of our guests! If you want to get two loving people who truly care about you and your wedding you NEED to hire them! I promise you won't be sorry.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Harmony Haven has had the pleasure of working with the husband and wife team of Branches of Life Photography for the past 4 years. We have enjoyed a close business relationship and can highly recommend them. Both Russel and Mellissa are always extremely professional, timely, courteous, and friendly. We were honored to have them photograph our daughter's wedding photographs and they captured every detail with pictures that will keep the memories alive for a lifetime. I would highly recommend their services. They offer affordable packages and work with each couple to achieve their wedding day photo dreams come true. ~Anna Maria Baker/Harmony Haven Event Venue

I worked with these guys a few weeks ago for Jessica and Robert's wedding at Center Place in Brandon. Very professional and great to work with, they had very high quality gear that integrated right into my soundsystem. I was able to view the finished product which was perfectly edited and highly emotional catching all the sentimental parts of their ceremony as well as the reception. From now on this is the team that I will recommend to all of my couples!!
