Where do I begin?!? Cornelia Zaiss is not only an extremely talented photographer, but such a genuine person! Being in the event industry, I was particularly "picky" and selective when finding my wedding photographer. From the first call to wedding day, Cornelia had excellent communication. We truly experienced all the special touches throughout the process from a Christmas Card, all the way to an impressive planning guide to help with everything photography related. Since we lived out of town, she remained flexible with our work schedule, as well as, with availability for our engagement shoot. During our engagement session, she helped us remain comfortable in front of the camera as we had never been professionally photographed. It was light, fun, and engaging.

On wedding day, Cornelia was on time, professional, and most importantly patient. Her second shooter was also lovely, and meshed perfectly with our bridal party. Both displayed very calm demeanor's in the midst of the chaos that is a wedding day. The team made sure to get all my requested shots, as well as, ensure the photos were lush, green, and captured the nature surrounding the venue. My vendor team also commented on what an amazing team player she was on wedding day!

After the wedding we received an entire album of sneak peeks. We were absolutely stunned by how quickly we got to view the special highlights of our day. She well exceeded our expectations!

Cornelia's photos are light, bright, vibrant, and evoke joy! She has a true gift, talent, and passion for what she does. You are missing out on a true gem without experiencing it for yourself! We love you Cornelia! - The Crawfords

Cornelia and her team were absolutely amazing! From our engagement photo session to our wedding day, we could not be happier we chose to work with her. She is so sweet and also knowledgeable about the Tampa area and was super helpful and quick to provide recommendations when we weren’t sure where to take engagement photos. She also ensured our wedding day went smoothly by helping us stick to our timeline but also being flexible when necessary. We are so happy with how our wedding photos turned out. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I truly can’t recommend Cornelia enough!

I have so many wonderful things I can say about my experience with Cornelia for our wedding day, I am not sure where to even start. I was very particular about who would be my wedding photographer -- I had a large traditional Orthodox Christian wedding, so I needed a photographer who could not only be patient and talented in navigating a large crowd, but also someone who could capture very important moments throughout the ceremony. Orthodox ceremonies are difficult to photograph, as the lighting in the church can be unpredictable and there are alot of key, meaningful moments a photographer needs to be on their toes for. After phone conversations with three other photographers, I stumbled upon Cornelia's website and sensed both talent and a kind spirit. Before the wedding day, Cornelia kindly allowed me to walk her through the aspects of an Orthodox ceremony while she took notes and listened intently. The day of the wedding, she kept my large bridal party on track and was truly professional the entire day. We received sneak peeks from the special day within five days of the wedding and the whole gallery less than a month of the wedding! I cannot begin to describe the amount of compliments I have been receiving on my photos, from people telling me "Your photographer is a genius for capturing all these emotions" & "your photographer is amazing these are some of the best wedding photos I've ever seen" to "Who is your photographer and how did she get that shot??". I am so blown away by my experience with Cornelia and I cannot recommend her enough. She is everything you NEED in a wedding photographer: talented, kind, professional, respectful, and again talented. She gave us photos that we will cherish forever. Please do yourself a favor and hire Cornelia Zaiss photography for your wedding day, I promise you absolutely will not regret it.
