Best in the game!

La Vie Studios is truly a one-of-a-kind gem! From the very first phone call with Jose, we knew we had found the right team to capture our special day. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for photography made us feel so confident in our decision. It wasn't just about taking pictures for him—it was about telling our story in the most beautiful, creative, and authentic way possible. And La Vie Studios did exactly that! What truly stood out was the team's ability to capture those candid moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, and the beautiful chaos of the day. Every photo tells a story, and they seamlessly blended artistry with authenticity.

From start to finish, working with Jose and his team was an absolute joy. His creativity and attention to detail were evident from our planning meeting, and it only continued to shine through during our welcome party and on the wedding day. He was calm, professional, and adaptable—qualities that were so appreciated with everything going on during a wedding. But more than anything, Jose is a genuinely kind human with an immaculate vibe! He made it feel like we were just spending the day with a good friend who happened to be a very skilled photographer.

We also hired La Vie Studios for videography. Our highlight film was nothing short of magical. The cinematography team worked tirelessly to capture the essence of our day, and the final result brought so much happiness. It’s not just a video; it’s a time capsule of our love, joy, and everything that made our day unforgettable. It's everything we hoped it'd be and so much more.

We really are beyond impressed with how smoothly everything went, thanks to Jose and his team. They were unobtrusive yet always present, making sure they captured every important moment. Our families and bridal party were so impressed and could not stop raving about how enjoyable they were to work with! I know we’ll treasure the photographs and highlight film for the rest of our lives.

If you’re looking for a team who brings not only incredible talent but also warmth and positivity to your big day, look no further than La Vie Studios. We couldn’t recommend them more! Thank you Jose and crew for making our wedding memories so beautifully unforgettable. We could not be more thankful.

Destination Wedding - Bahamas

We had a destination wedding in Bimini, Bahamas, and choosing La Vie Studios was one of the best decisions we made! My husband and I had never done professional photos before and are very awkward when it comes to being in front of the camera. Jose immediately made us feel so natural and comfortable — after seeing the final photos, you would never guess how uncomfortable we usually are! Jose even gave us sneak peeks the evening of our wedding, which was such a special touch and meant so much to us. The entire process afterward, especially working with Kiley on creating our photo book, was seamless and enjoyable. There are truly so many incredible photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. We are beyond grateful we chose La Vie Studios and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Book early, though — Jose is amazing and understandably a very busy man!

The photographer/videographer team!!!

From the moment we first spoke with the team at La Vie Studios, we knew we were in good hands. Jose and his crew were responsive, fun, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they captured beautiful, vibrant photos that truly reflected the joy and excitement of our celebration. Even our guests commented on how nice and fun the photography and videography team was to work with. Jose and his team went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and had an amazing experience. We could not be happier with the final photos and videos - the quality of their work is simply stunning. Hire Jose and the La Vie Studios team - you won't regret it!

Zapata Wedding

The wedding photographer and videographer were the most important vendors for my wedding. Jose and his team at LaVie studios exceeded my expectations (and that’s rare). So when I say they are the BEST, they really are! They pay attention to details and go the extra mile to make sure to capture everything perfectly! I wish I could give them 10 stars!

Best Wedding Photographer!

We couldn't be happier with Jose and his team! From start to finish, they made our entire wedding experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond by printing out a few beautiful pictures and put them in an album for us by the end of the night—talk about going the extra mile! Not only that, but he air dropped us some high-quality photos so we could share and post them right away.

Throughout the day, he made everything feel so relaxed and natural, and he truly was the ultimate hype man, keeping the energy high and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. It was like having a friend there with us capturing the best moments. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also incredibly thoughtful and fun to work with, look no further!

We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and video!!

Look no further - you have to hire La Via for photo + video!

If you have stumbled across Jose and his team at La Vie Studios for your wedding, honestly congrats and look no further because they are the team you want and need for your wedding! My husband and I got married in Key Largo, Florida in February and hired La Via for both our photography and videography for our big day. We also had Jose shoot our engagement photos in Miami and they were absolutely stunning - we knew we had made the right decision for the wedding.

When the wedding day came, Jose + his team were phenomenal. They captured every single detail perfectly and just how we wanted. My husband and I knew photos were important to us, but wanted more candid shots than super posed ones, as that is more our style. Jose and the team nailed it - he said from our first initial call that he was there to make our wedding day just how we wanted it and he did just that. We wanted to take the time to get those great shots, but more importantly, we wanted to spend time with our friends and family and capture those moments. Jose made sure that is exactly what happened.

We got our sneak peak pics back before we even woke up the next day and our sneak peak wedding video was not too long after we were back from our honeymoon. Delivery of all of our photos was so timely as well - I have heard horror stories from other brides having to wait SO LONG to get theirs back. Not with La Vie.

I literally was sobbing at the end of our wedding because of how much fun we had and how much his team had made us feel totally ourselves (but also like the beauty queen/king you are supposed to feel like on your wedding day)! I could write a novel on how much La Vie and their team made our wedding day absolutely perfect but I will surely run out of my word limit soon. Bottom line, if you want photos and videos that are exactly the way you picture your wedding day - you have to hire La Vie Studios! They listen, they're fun, they're friendly, they're professional and you'll want to figure out a way to be friends with them after your day has come and gone :)

I wish I could give them 6 stars!

I am not even sure where to start considering every single moment with La Vie Studios was above and beyond any expectations I could dream of. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. From the first call with Jose, I knew La Vie Studios was the only option for my wedding photography/videography. I am uncomfortable behind the camera, I don't generally enjoy taking photos but I knew I would I wanted wedding photos/videos to last a lifetime. Jose and his team made me feel so natural behind the camera, their process and energy took away all anxieties I've ever had about taking photos. We had three little kids in our families as well that needed to be included in the photos and their team did an incredible job with them, too. The entire process alone is worth hiring La Vie Studios... but then we got our photo album and videos... again, they somehow exceeded anything we could've imagined. I couldn't even believe that was us and our wedding I was looking at while scrolling through the gallery. Every shot was INCREDIBLE, we couldn't be more obsessed. There is NO other option for your photography/videographer needs than La Vie Studios, seriously! 10/10 recommended!

Look no further!

We can’t thank Jose and the La Vie team enough for the absolutely incredible job they did capturing our wedding day! We are beyond thrilled with our photos—they are truly everything we could have hoped for and more.

I’ve heard so many friends say they were disappointed with their wedding photos, but we feel the exact opposite. Every moment, every emotion, and every important person was beautifully documented, telling a complete story of our day.

I’ve already spent hours reliving each moment through these stunning images, and I know we will cherish them forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your wedding in the most authentic and beautiful way, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

Best in Biz!

As a Planner, we absolutely loved working with Jose on our 3/22/25 Wedding at the Kimpton Epic in Miami. Not only is Jose super talented but brings FUN, positive and creative energy to the Wedding Day! Jose & Team's attention to detail and creativity are impressive and his flexibility during both pre-planning and on the Wedding Day truly shined. He is dedicated to this creative field and it shows in his work! It was a true pleasure working with Jose this weekend and we are blessed to have vendors like La Vie Studios on our Vendor Teams. Thank you for capturing the most special shots for Lily & Jordan, fostering a unique experience and creating core memories that will last a lifetime. We adore you! Jose even stayed post-Wedding to create "sneak peaks" - what a fun surprise! Choose Jose, you won't be disappointed.

The BEST choice to preserve your special memories!

Jose and the La Vie team were amazing on our wedding day! He is calm cool and collected and yet has the right sense of urgency. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Jose and his team - his talent is truly unmatched, we wanted some artsy shots, to capture our dog, and overall coverage and he absolutely delivered! Our friends and family loved Jose and mentioned how he and his team were always so kind and seemingly always there at the right moment without feeling like there was always a camera in their face which is also exactly how I felt! I LOVED having Jose and his team capture our special day and can’t wait to see the rest of what we are sure will be incredible photographs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
