    Couldn’t be happier!

    Joe was referred to us by a really good friend and our DJ, to photograph our wedding. There honestly aren’t enough words to describe how phenomenal Joe was in every aspect of the planning and how attentive he was that day. He was very flexible and patient when going over and adjusting our timeline, he even last minute (like we were a few seconds from exchanging our vows) recorded our vow exchange and made a video with subtitles, FOR FREE! His photos are simply breathtaking, and he made me feel like a queen on my wedding day; which is something all brides should feel. Hd captured so many beautiful moments throughout the night that I am still in awe over every single photo. I will always refer anyone I know to Joe, I can promise you, you will not be disappointed! I seriously could not be happier with how every photo turned out and cannot stop looking at them! Thank you Joe!

    The BEST Wedding Photographer!!!

    Where to even begin?! We could not be any more ecstatic about both the finished product from Joe or our experience with Joe on our wedding day last Saturday! We still have wedding guests reaching out to us days after our wedding to tell us how great they thought our photographer was. Joe was so attentive and was never out of reach during the reception if we wanted to request a picture, but he was also never in the way and moved at lightning speed so he was seemingly in a million places at once capturing every moment. His experience in the industry was always evident and so helpful, and he just knows how to make everyone feel their best. The pictures he delivered are AMAZING!!!! I haven’t stopped looking at them for days now! Speaking of delivery, he has to be the fastest in the business. He delivered a sneak peak of pictures to us by the next day, and then ALL of the edited pictures within a few DAYS after the wedding! Unbelievable that he can deliver so many pictures with such quality editing in such a short period of time. Needless to say, we are beyond thrilled about every aspect of working with Joe, and we give our highest recommendation to other couples to hire him for their special day!

    Below is the email I sent to Joe, the photographer, after receiving the photos!
    "Joe!!!!!!

    Oh my goodness!!!! You are seriously so amazing. We will write as many reviews as you need with the best ratings on everything!!! After the wedding we were all raving about how phenomenal you were even without even seeing the photos. We didn’t have a videographer and your photos literally brought our beautiful day to life!!! We are thrilled beyond anything we could have dreamed of!!! You are so talented and passionate. It truly shows. In the words of my new husband “He’s like a ninja!” How you were able to get so many shots from different angles was just incredible. You might here this time again but I want to personally say that you have made a difference in our lives and we are grateful to have had you capture this special day.

    Warmest Regards,
    Lorenzo and Alicia Diaz"

    Our beautiful Beach Wedding!

    Joe was simply amazing! He took the time to listen to me and make sure he took all the pictures that were important to us even though we had some crazy ideas! He knew that I not only wanted those beautiful magazine-style pictures but also those genuine ones that will remind us forever of the love, the people, the happiness, and energy we felt that day. His experience and professionalism were evident. He knew the venue and how to take fantastic sunset beach wedding pictures. Thank you so much for your work! 100% recommended!

    Work with Joe for an easy, beautiful wedding

    Working with Joe was the easiest thing in the world, and it took away so much potential stress from the wedding week and the wedding day. The week of the wedding Joe called to make sure we were on the same page and that he knew what the itinerary was for the wedding day - it was incredibly helpful when he said that wherever we as the bridal party end up, he as the photographer will also be. That phone call, jam-packed with lots of important information, was covered in about 20 minutes...a relief after some other vendors I'd had to talk to! Then, on wedding day, he was there at 9:30 on the dot. I wasn't quite ready for him to start taking pictures yet, so he started taking photos of my shoes and other things like that. He was incredibly professional, and the photos he captured were gorgeous. We had a Catholic wedding - so a lot of sitting - and he managed to capture some really fantastic photos from the church. We then went to the local seashore, and the noon sun was incredibly bright, but he made the light work - those pictures were beautiful! And then the reception photos were impressive. He did an excellent job of getting shots of all of the important parts of the reception, but he also got photos of all the guests in addition to all the photos we wanted. And of course, we were that family who had a list who had a list of photos we needed, and he made sure we got all of them! And then we got our photos QUICKLY. We didn't have to wait long at all before we got them, and we love them. Thank you, Joe!

    Very professional

    Thank you Joe for braving what felt like hurricane force winds and freezing temps so we could get the beautiful beach shot we had to have!

    A Creative Eye towards perfection with every image captured!

    I have had the benefit of Joe Gaudet's creative skills and absolute focus towards perfection on several multimedia projects for both our company, Design Eagles, and a friends wedding. Joe provided our company with a video promo for our company that perfectly captured the message we wanted to share with potential and existing customers. The final production was vibrant, precisely depicted our companies services, and concisely conveyed our message with stunning images and animation.

    I have also had the opportunity to see Joe's creative skills master the wedding environment as he provided photography for my friend Dianna & David on their special day. He seamlessly captured every nuance and special moment of the day to deliver stunning wedding images and video! Joe is the ultimate creative professional with broad creative, technical, and editing skills and I would HIGHLY recommend Joe for your next photographic, video, or creative project!

    Great photos!

    Joe was quick and easy to work with. He worked hard on our wedding day to capture as many moments as possible. We received our edited photos in less than 48 hours after our wedding! His prices were so reasonable, we were very happy with our overall experience. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

    Joe did such a fantastic job at our wedding. He was very thorough and attentive leading up to the wedding to make sure photos went smoothly the day of the wedding. When we needed to make changes (even the day of) he was very accommodating. After the ceremony, we went to an alternate location. When we were done shooting he let us ride in the back his car so we would not have to cram in with the other bridal party. We made a few wrong turns on the way to the reception and got there a little late, but he made it up 10 times over by the amazing photography (and he even stayed a little later than he said to ensure we got the shots we needed). No complaints, no regrets, top notch.

    Joe did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Each photo is of a superb quality that, you really can't pick one (out of ALL the photos he gives...which he does give ALL of them, or pretty much every one). He adapted to our space which was limited, and the creative shots he took we just love. I think the only comment my family had was that they would have liked to see more candid shots of the immediate family, but, unless we provide a specific list with photos I am sure it's hard to know. Other than that, I would definitely hire Joe again, and recommend him to anyone considering him!

    Joe was fantastic! He worked with us every step of the way from moment we hired him - from timeline changes and extended time, to dealing with a guest count of over 200 people. He caught wonderful images of my husband and I just being us in between all the posed photos. Everyone in and at our wedding spoke very highly of him and are already ordering photos that were available 48 hours after the wedding. Thank you for capturing the happiest day of our lives!

    True Professional

    My wife and I just celebrated our 1-year anniversary and we still love our photos. Joe made the wedding day easy. He had real, professional knowledge and experience which was a blessing on our day. He captured many little details throughout the day, which we look back on with smiles. He was very efficient and in control with the cocktail hour photos and produced great quality.
    Joe is a true wedding professional. If he is available on your day, book him. You won't regret it.

    Summer Wedding Tampa Bay Watch Ft. Desoto

    We really enjoyed having Joe as our Photographer. He was a very hard worker and very professional. He was patient and was very good at getting all the shots we wanted. He was also very fast at getting our photos to us after the wedding we had them within 48hrs. I would highly recommend him, he goes out of his way for a great price!

    Joe was absolutely amazing!! For never meeting in person prior he made me feel at ease from the start. Then he went above and beyond our expectations!! He stayed MUCH longer than he was scheduled for and took ample photos...he was a dream to work with. THEN to get the most BEAUTIFUL photos of our day in such a quick turn around (I’m talking with in days of our wedding!!) left us speechless. Everyone has commented how outstanding our photos are...thanks to Joe!!!

    Joe is absolutely amazing! Besides getting to marry my best friend joe was my favorite part of the wedding! It’s no wonder this guy has so many five star reviews. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. He’s professional, kind, smart, fun, knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s quick with his shots, and quick with the turn around of photos! I would choose him over and over again! Joe thank you so much for capturing our special day everyone loved you! Stay amazing!!!!!!

    Our experience with Joe Gaudet as our wedding photographer was truly phenomenal. He was extremely prompt with any and all communication from the beginning all the way to how quickly we received our final photo files. I was extremely pleased to know that I was receiving every single photo taken on the day of the event, edited and enhanced. Joe is very personable and good with adapting himself to the needs of the event. He also answered any and all questions we had, guiding us through the entire process beforehand and on the day of our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or final product for our special day. Thank you more than you know, Joe!

    Joe is AMAZING. I cannot say enough positive things about him and his photos. Joe has a truly creative, artistic and genius photography mind. Spending my wedding day with him was an absolute pleasure. He is a joy to be around. He is friendly, professional and extremely hard working. He genuinely CARES about your day and the photos he is taking and that truly shows through his attitude and his work. He takes charge of the posed pictures (in the best way) by telling you where to stand, fixing the dress and bouquet, and giving the BEST direction. He also snags TONS of candid shots without you even noticing he is there. Joe is a photography ninja! He climbed up onto things, got pictures from the second story, adjusted his lighting between each shot, and managed to fix everything necessary before each picture (the dress, the bouquet, etc). I was floored with his performance during the ceremony and reception. Countless guests found me during the reception to ask about our photographer because they were equally impressed with his hard work and amazing skills.

    In addition to ALL this, Joe had my wedding photos to me less than 48 hours after my wedding! I thought I was dreaming. That is UNHEARD OF. My parents were in complete shock. I sat down with them to view the photos and my mom was in tears. Every single picture is absolutely stunning. The background, lighting and editing are amazing. There isn't ONE picture or ONE event throughout the wedding that is missing. Joe captured EVERYTHING with no direction from me whatsoever. He knows what he is doing and he has found his calling. Viewing each picture is like reliving the entire day. I am over the moon impressed, pleased and excited about Joe Gaudet. My only hope is that I am able to hire him again and that I have the absolute pleasure of working with him again in the future.

    Thank you, Joe, for going above and beyond. Thank you for your hard work, your attention to detail, and THANK YOU for the INCREDIBLE pictures.

    Joe was absolutely the best person to capture our day! He was great at directing everyone on where to stand for the best shots, and it really showed in the photos. I felt so comfortable asking him for certain shots and he works so hard! He caught so many moments of my wedding, it was a surprise to look through all the photos, he does the work of ten men! He was everywhere at once! The photos were stunning and I got them back so quickly, I had time to make Christmas cards for everyone!

    Joe did my NOW father-in-laws wedding a few years ago, we knew we wanted him to do ours as well! Joe is amazing, very nice and knows how to get the crowd organized and pictures taken quickly! I unfortunately was very sick from the flu on my wedding day & he allowed me to take the brakes i needed in-between shots! Joe was great & my pictures are to die for!

    Joe was absolutely amazing to work with. Our wedding was 11/04 and the pictures we received were incredible. I would recommend for anyone looking for beautiful pictures, quick response time on emails, and someone who knows how to ask that aunt we all have who's a professional to wait until he's got his shots first!

    We were so happy with Joe. We came over from Scotland for our wedding and relied on Joe's reviews before booking him. You will not be disappointed. His communication prior to the event in the months leading up to our day was excellent. On the day he arrived punctually and put us all at ease straight away. All our family mentioned to us how great he was. He delivered our pictures within a few days and we are delighted with them. Thank you Joe, from Alison and Andy.

    Words cannot express how amazing Joe is as a photographer. He reached out to us and set up a phone call with us that went over an hour and he answered every question we had and then some. We knew right then and there he was a special photographer and we would not regret working with him. A couple of days before the wedding he called us again to make sure we were all set with everything and if we had any last questions. It was predicted to rain on our wedding day which was worrying us and Joe reassured us it would be great no matter what. The day of he took so many pictures and made sure he did every request we had. He worked with our DJ to work on the timing of everything to make sure not a moment was missed which made our day stress free. That same night Joe surprised us with a couple of photos he already retouched and they looked amazing. A week later Joe sent us the rest of our pictures! We’ve had so many compliments on how beautiful the pictures are and how quickly we received them. You will not regret working with Joe. He is amazing!!

    Joe was the absolute best! We had some weather conditions working against us but he always remained calm and even listen to me cry over the phone. Even with just him photographing the wedding, he captured every moment flawlessly. He answered every request I had when it came to example photos that I had shown him prior to the big day. He was on time, professional, and blended into the crowd to get some fabulous candid shots. He was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy i went with him. It was also amazing that he wasn’t ridiculously expensive like all the other wedding photographers. He is one of a kind!
