    Stunning surprise proposal photos

    Karl recently photographed my surprise engagement and I am absolutely in love with the photos we received. He was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable, after such an exciting surprise. The edits are stunning - light, airy, beautiful, natural. These photos are worth every cent. I would recommend Karl to anyone looking for someone who is easy to work with, trustworthy with getting the perfect shot, and natural photos. Thank you, Karl!

    Truly the best

    Karl and his wife, Nanette, traveled from Naples FL to Savannah GA to shoot our wedding and rehearsal, and I cannot sing their praises enough!! They are both extremely professional but also very personable and playful. They made taking our photos so much fun but were able to keep us (and our large somewhat wild wedding party) on track and on schedule. It ended up raining throughout most of our outdoor wedding and first look, which was quite stessful, but Karl and Nanette kept us calm and collected with their positivity and leadership. They took the reigns and were able to quickly adapt and help create the best plan B. They even held umbrellas over us in between shots! They are truly wonderful people to spend your most important day with! Prior to the events, Karl also went out of his way to understand my hopes and vision for our wedding photos. He is extremely talented in what he does and I would trust him to shoot my wedding 100 times over! Without a doubt would recommend Luminaire Foto for all your photography needs!!

    patient, kind & easy to work with

    My husband and I loved working with Karl and his team this past weekend (3/26). He knew the ins and outs our venue (Ritz Carlton) and made sure to get the best shots for the weather, time and groups of friends/family. His easy going and fun loving personality made taking pictures actually enjoyable. He made us laugh and feel at ease during a super stressful day. If you are need of the perfect photographer, book Karl right away!

    AMAZING Photographer and Person!!

    From the first phone call I had with Karl, I knew that Karl was going to be a beyond amazing addition to our wedding day vendors. Karl’s professionalism, attention to detail & positivity made me feel so comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. All of our photos were executed seamlessly from getting ready, to first looks and family photos and so on. Karl made it easy for my now husband and I to enjoy our whole day while he helped move things along through our timeline. He prepared me for the little things the week before and helped me conquer them the day of. We have the MOST emotional family (lucky us!) and Karl was so considerate and patient with us during all of our emotional moments throughout the day. Not to mention, Karl is just so fun to be around!! Everyone in our wedding enjoyed spending time with him. During our engagement shoot 10 months before our wedding, my now husband and I basically forgot we were taking photos halfway through as we were just enjoying hanging out and talking with Karl throughout the entire shoot. Karl will really get to know you and shows a unique care and effort for your big day. And your photos will be amazing. You can’t go wrong by choosing Karl to photograph your wedding!

    Amazing, professional, and stress-free experience

    I cannot speak highly enough about Karl and Luminaire Foto. Karl’s professionalism, attention to every detail and passion exceeded my wildest expectations for my beach wedding in Marco Island, Florida. When you book an event with Karl, you are not only contracting a phenomenal photographer, but more importantly you are booking an advocate who is focused on ensuring your special day is captured to its fullest extent. On our special day, we encountered unusual weather as a thick layer of fog cascaded over the beach, ensuring we would not receive ‘traditional’ wedding photos. While some brides (and photographers) may have been upset with Mother Nature’s curveball, Karl’s excitement and passion for such a unique opportunity eased our worries and ultimately, we are blessed with extraordinary photos that no other couple will have. Words cannot describe how highly we think of Karl and we can promise that you will not endure a moment of stress if you choose him for your wedding.

    Professional, Great Personality

    Nothing negative to say about Karl at Luminaire Foto. Professional, responsive, and fun to be around. To us, our wedding pictures were going to be one of the most important factors in our wedding, aside from the food and DJ. Karl also helped alleviate some of the concerns that we had about doing a first look. HIGHLY recommend doing the first look- because Karl knows what he is doing and it was one of the most beautiful moments on our wedding day. Karl played more than the role of a photographer on that day and he pays attention to details beautifully. His assistant was beautiful and kind as well. Will be having his wife do maturnity shoot in the future :)

    Destination Ritz Carlton Naples Wedding

    When choosing a photographer for our wedding, it involved more than simply looking at their previous photos.
    We wanted someone who would take beautiful pictures, but we also wanted someone who we got along with and understood what we wanted on our wedding day. Karl was not only the perfect photographer for the job, but he far exceeded our expectations. First, and most importantly, Karl managed to capture every special moment from our wedding. The pictures were professional, perfect, and beautiful. But, in addition to those perfect pictures, Karl made our wedding day go that much smoother. When necessary, he managed to be blend in and go unnoticed. When it was time for group pictures, he was efficient and respectful of the fact that no one wanted to spend too much time taking pictures—all while managing to capture the perfect pictures. Karl adapted to every scenario during the day. Karl managed to continue taking beautiful photos when bridesmaids went missing. Karl also adapted to the unpredictable weather. It was extremely windy on our wedding day and Karl worked with the wind to capture romantic shots.
    And when we couldn’t figure out the bustle on my dress, Karl served as an impromptu assistant helping with my dress malfunction. If you’re unsure whether you should use Karl for your special day, my husband (who is NOT a fan of pictures) best summarized Karl the day after our wedding—“Karl was the perfect person for the job and I would recommend him to anyone getting married.”

    Professional and thoughtful

    From engagement photo shoot, to the rehearsal dinner and the big day, we knew that Karl was a pro. He is thoughtful, smart, intuitive and organized. As the mother of the bride and the person who worked with all of the vendors, Karl was a pleasure. We were happy to have him with us for the weekend and he was never intrusive. His work is beautiful and very personal. You could not ask for a better photographer.

    Literally amazing

    Karl was originally a “never going to happen, out of my price range” vendor for my wedding, but the longer I looked at his website and talked to other people he’s worked with, the more I realized I had to have him.

    He is worth every single penny. My husband hates being photographed, but Karl put him at ease right away. From the perfectly orchestrated First Look to the impressive efforts to capture my dream “floaty veil” shot on a non-windy day, Karl’s commitment and professionalism are priceless.

    Karl can be instructive when he needs to be (“stand here and tilt your head this way”), but he also helped us feel relaxed enough to just be ourselves and act how we normally behave around each other, which is where I believe the truly amazing photos come from.

    Karl truly cared about us and made a point to bring up certain details about my relationship with my husband that I had only mentioned in passing. My “something blue” was a necklace my husband gave me for Christmas the first year we were dating; during our First Look, Karl said, “Did you ever think when you gave her that necklace five years ago that you’d end up marrying her?” My husband instantly became misty-eyed and Karl snapped the photo. Out of all the snapshots of our day, that one is my favorite.

    Karl went above and beyond to capture our wedding—both the moments on our shot list and the candid moments, too. I’m thrilled with his work and cannot recommend him enough.

    Absolutely Magical!

    Karl helped to make my engagement the most magical night ever. My fiancé hired him to be there to capture the moment and Karl went above and beyond. He took hundreds of pictures and switched up the poses, backgrounds, and effects. He sent us the photos within hours of taking them and they were perfect! The moment was surreal and thanks to Luminaire Photo I am able to look back and relive it over and over again.

    Amazing experience with Karl

    Where to begin with Karl?! We first met Karl when he came to Miami for our engagement session in 2019. My (now) husband and I felt completely at ease with him and he made the experience so much fun and not nearly as awkward as I anticipated. I was hesitant to have the engagement session, out of fear that it could look "cheesy;" however, our pictures were stunning. It also was a great way for us to get to know Karl before the big day. My mother-in-law also contracted with Karl to photograph our rehearsal dinner, so we got to spend even more time with Karl before the wedding. Karl is kind, thoughtful, has a wonderful sense of humor, and his work is stunning! We are so excited to see our photos, but know that they will be everything we ever dreamed of. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karl and I encourage all brides to book with him :)

    Couldn't be happier with these photos

    I recommend Luminaire Foto to anyone who wants beautiful and timeless wedding photos! They were INCREDIBLE to work with. My husband and I were very picky with how we wanted our photos to turn out (light, airy, bright greenery, not overly posed, etc.). Karl spent hours on the phone getting to know our personalities and vision for our wedding day. He then built out a timeline that made our entire day go smoothly. We ended up having his wife, Nanette, as our photographer for the day and she was EXCEPTIONAL! Her personality automatically makes you feel at ease and her photos are breathtaking. She captured emotion, color, and moments in such a special and timeless way. We are SO HAPPY with all our images. I plan to use them again as we have maternity or kiddo photos in the future. They are a pleasure to work with and just so talented!!

I found Nanette and Karl for a client's wedding at the Naples Beach Hotel and I couldn't have been happier. From my first interaction with them they were kind, prompt with responses, and so easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. Not to mention their photographs are absolutely beautiful. My clients used them for their engagement photos and wedding day, and were so happy with them. I absolutely will be calling Luminaire for future clients. Thank you Nanette and Karl for being so amazing!!
