About

Hello! We're SO glad you stopped in to say view our work and to see what we're all about!

We believe that love should always be an adventure, no matter how long you’ve been together. This may be young love, with all the “feels,” or that rich, seasoned relationship established over a long period of time. It’s exciting to witness the emotion between two people in love, and we want to capture it!

Right now, we are booking for the upcoming 2023/2024 year. With many years of Wedding Photography experience, we have designed each package with much thought and intention. Our WEDDING COLLECTIONS typically start at $2000. Please inquire for a more detailed description.

Depending on which package option works best for your wedding, we know we can completely cover the story you wish to tell on your wedding day. If you still don’t find just what you’re looking for, ask how we can craft a package based on your specific needs.

We love having the opportunity to tell YOUR story through creative imagery, adventure and the authentic love you share with one another so please reach out for more information. We can’t wait to become friends!

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:)
