About

Hello! We’re so glad you stopped by to see our work and learn a little more about Love Is Wild Photography!

Love Is Wild Photography is a Pensacola wedding photography team serving Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Destin, 30A, and the beautiful Gulf Coast. With many years of wedding photography experience, we are passionate about capturing genuine moments, real emotion, and the unique story of every couple we photograph.

We believe love should always be an adventure, no matter how long you’ve been together. Whether it’s young love with all the feels or a rich, seasoned relationship built over many years, there is something incredible about witnessing the connection between two people in love. Our goal is to capture that connection in a way that feels authentic, timeless, and completely true to you.

We are currently booking weddings for 2026 and 2027. Our Wedding Collections begin at $2,400 and have been thoughtfully designed to give couples beautiful coverage of their wedding day. Depending on the collection you choose, we can capture everything from the quiet moments of getting ready to your ceremony, portraits, reception, and all the little moments in between. Every wedding is different, and we want your photography experience to reflect that.

Whether you’re planning a romantic Pensacola wedding, a beach wedding on Pensacola Beach, a destination celebration in Destin or 30A, or a wedding somewhere else along the Gulf Coast, we would love the opportunity to tell your story through creative imagery, genuine emotion, and the wild, authentic love you share.

Love Is Wild Photography was selected as a “Best of Weddings” winner by The Knot and has received WeddingWire recognition, including the Couples’ Choice Award. Our work has also been featured in VIP Pensacola Magazine, Gulf Coast Bridal Magazine, Hampton Weddings Magazine, Ruffled Blog, and The Knot.

We would love to hear your story, learn more about your wedding plans, and share what we love so much about photographing weddings.

We can’t wait to meet you!

“Love is wild and free; love is untamed hope.” — J. Iron Word

The experience was GREAT!

I had a family friend, who was a professional photographer caught COVID 2 days before the wedding. I was referred to them by friend, and I couldn't have made a better choice. The 2 photographers worked really well and my husband could not have been more pleased. Even when I got sick (from too many mix drinks the night before) they were super patient with me. They are very experienced and flexible photographers.

Simply the Best!

I had a pretty specific look I wanted in our wedding photos and kept feeling disappointed when searching for Florida photographers. Then I found Love is Wild and fell in love with their work!! Their skills are unique and their personalities are so laid back and kind! Absolutely loved working this this company! We’ve only seen a couple photos but I’m already in love with them and can’t wait to see the rest!

Great wedding photos! They were not the cheapest quote but they were worth every cent. Glad we decided to go with Maribel Photography. Josh was very professional and knew exactly what to do. We thank God we came across them. We now have great pics to cherish for years to come. The photo cd and case were a pleasant and unexpected surprise. He did a good job

I used Josh for my engagement and wedding photography. I was not disappointed! Josh was quick to respond to my email/calls. He made my husband and I feel comfortable being in front of a camera (both of us had never had professional photos). Josh was so nice and a genuinely nice guy to have around, by the end of the night we thought of him as a guest/new friend rather than a vendor. He got our photos back in a timely manner and they looked AWESOME. I would recommend him to anyone!

We used Mirabel for our engagement photos and Josh was SO great. I've had a bad photographer before so I know what a good one is like and he was awesome. He made us feel so relaxed and was so easygoing that it wasn't hard or awkward trying to pose for good photos and the pictures turned out great! He picked amazing locations and didn't count the time it took us to change outfits and drive to the second location against our total hour like I know some photographers do. Even my fiancé, who hates pictures and dragged his feet to the shoot, said he had fun. Definitely would recommend to a friend, in fact if we hadn't already booked a different photographer for the wedding we would absolutely book Josh and Sara instead.

When I was looking for a photographer, the most important thing to me was to find a one who truly captured the emotion of joy, laughter, and love. That is exactly what we got from Mirabel Photography!! Josh is such a genuine person and is so down to earth, we immediately felt comfortable around him. It never felt like a business transaction like it has in the past with other photographers we've worked with. Instead it felt like a family member or long time friend was taking the photos.

I want to mention that I booked Mirabel Photography when I was living in Oregon for our last minute destination wedding/elopement in Pensacola Florida. They were so helpful and answered all my questions and concerns almost immediately.

We weren't familiar with the area at all, but Josh knew exactly where to capture the perfect shots. He is so creative and beyond talented! I was truly blown away when I saw our wedding pictures, they are absolutely perfect! If I'm ever back in Pensacola I'm definitely looking them up for another shoot. I can't say this enough, they are truly amazing photographers!! If you're reading this review wondering if you should book them, stop, and go book them, like now! You won't regret it.

I had a wonderful experience using Mirabel for my wedding photography and would enthusiastically recommend them to their prospective clients. They are friendly, professional, and talented. They were great about providing direction for the shoot while never being overbearing or imposing. They made me feel completely at ease. We had our proofs back in 2.5 weeks, and they are beautiful. I am going to cherish these photos for the rest of my life. If you have the opportunity to have Mirabel shoot your special event, do it. You won't be disappointed.

I always wanted a beach wedding and was nervous planning my wedding from Ohio but Mirabel Photography blew our expectations out of the water! Josh was so helpful, accomodating, and easy to work with. We had an unexpected delayed in events but Mirabel Photography went above and beyond to accomodate us and provide their services for us on our big day! He ensured that he captured every moment to remember the wedding of our dreams! Very thankful I used Mirabel for my wedding photographer. Could not be happier:)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
