About

Jose Mesa has always been surrounded by film and cameras. His father had a small photography and videography business during Jose's childhood. Fast forward to present day and Jose Mesa has established a reputable company, continually growing and creating new techniques in order to execute each client's expectations. Jose Mesa Studios focuses on catering to the individual customers' needs, offering the customer the best possible service, quality and value in the industry.

Jose, born in Miami, FL, was first introduced to the camera at age 6, when he helped his father with rudimentary tasks like moving around camera equipment in the house and stuffing envelopes with brochures. Too young to understand what the camera equipment did or was used for, Jose was intrigued by the mystery of how such a small box could create such large feelings and memories. After finishing his degree in Engineering, Jose was always told by his friends he was too social and creative to be an engineer. A few years later, he was introduced to his first DSLR. His technical aptitude combined with his creative style exhibited his calling. Eager to learn more, Jose devoted his savings to invest in his passion.

Jose's drive stems from his clients. Each client is unique, from their personality to the type of product they are looking for, which allows Jose to demonstrate his ability to cater to the customers' needs. He's well versed in customer interaction and the tools needed to capture timeless images. His photojournalistic approach provides candid photographs for the most realistic story of the most important moments of our lives.

Jose and Lindsay were great. They were there taking pictures through out the day and they were not in the way and they got great candid shots. They made everyone comfortable. The pre-meetings with the bride and groom were invaluable. They were there in the beginning and stayed until the end. The pictures are stunning.

In short, from start to finish - amazing! I knew the one thing I didn't want to skimp on was our wedding photography. Not only were Jose and Lindsey genuinely happy for us, they photographed our day just as we hoped for. They went above and beyond and I will be recommending them to all of my future girlfriends.

Jose and Lindsey were wonderful to work with. They were very professional, and provided a lot of great ideas to make both our pictures and our wedding day the best they could be. Jose is very willing to listen to input and make changes to make everyone happy. He and Lindsey also take amazing pictures! Added to that, they are very fun people to be around. His photo booth is the best one we've ever seen. We would recommend JMESA Photography to anyone that needs amazing photos. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

JMesa Photography was fantastic at our wedding. Jose was incredibly flexible with anything we wanted (within reason) and had great ideas to make even more great memories of the day. They were very professional and efficient, one thing you always want on your wedding day, and definitely took the extra time to encourage my wife and i that our day would go perfectly well. It did and Jose and Lindsay were a huge part of it. JMesa took care of everything with regard to photography and throughout the whole day, before during and after the ceremony, they were unseen, but still got every shot we wanted. We really could not say enough good things about JMesa Photography and would recommend them to anyone!!!

If you dream for a perfect day, you need to look for a perfect photographer. Jose and Lindsay Mesa are that exactly! I could not have asked for a more professional, talented, and wonderful duo to photograph our day. They captured moments that you won't even remember as your wedding flies by and give you the images that you will love for a lifetime.

All I can say is WOW!

I’ve never really done business with a photographer before, I mean other than school portraits in elementary school, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. What I did not expect where the gorgeous pictures I got. I have never felt comfortable in front of the camera, and always hated the way I looked in pictures…They definitely got rid of that feeling. I love love love my wedding day pics!!! Thank you Jose and Lindsey so much for your beautiful work!

Jose and Lindsey are AMAZING. I cannot explain how elated I am to have found them. I began my search looking across all types of photographers. I knew that the one thing I really wanted for our wedding was amazing pictures that I could put up on the walls of our home. We finally made the decision to meet with Jose. He was kind, humble, and extremely easy to get along with; someone I would totally hang out with outside of our wedding.
The day of the wedding was great; we actually had several of the guests complimenting us on our photographer! They were extremely professional and genuinely excited to be there. My bustle ended up breaking and I don’t know why, but Lindsey, the other photographer, had a safety pin and fixed it. She said it happens all the time and now carries them…who knew!
At the end of it all, I just got my pictures and am estatic! They were worth every penny!
