    Amazing photographer in Tampa/Sarasota!

    The best decision hiring Lifelong Photography for my wedding day and engagement shoot photography!! I had Buffy as my lead photographer, but she brought two amazing photographers with her as well! They made me feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We just got our sneak peeks back (after only 1.5 weeks!) and I absolutely love them!! We got 70 which I feel like is a lot for sneak peeks, which was so appreciated. Can't wait to see the rest of them! Would definitely recommend anyone from the Lifelong team for your wedding day and I felt they were very fairly priced compared to others in the area. Thank you so much for capturing the best day of our lives in a way that represented our favorite moments!

    Beautiful photos!

    We absolutely loved working with Lifelong Photography for our engagement shoot and wedding day! Buffy is so talented and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The team was so easy to work with and very responsive to our questions. We love looking back at all of our beautiful photos, which captured our wedding day so perfectly. We highly recommend Lifelong to any couple!

    Amazing experience!

    Our experience with Lifelong Photography Studio, led by Gabrielle and Angelina, was nothing short of exceptional. Gabrielle and Angelina made us feel incredibly at ease throughout the entire process. Their kindness, professionalism, and creative vision were evident from the start, and it was clear that they were truly passionate about their craft. What impressed us most was their ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. As someone who typically feels uneasy being photographed, I was pleasantly surprised by how relaxed and natural I felt with Gabrielle and Angelina. Their timeline was seamless, allowing us to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without feeling rushed or stressed. And from the sneak peeks we've seen so far, the photos are simply breathtaking, and we're beyond excited to see the rest. Gabrielle and Angelina are a dream team in every sense of the word, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had them capture our special day.

    Perfect and Professional

    Buffy was incredible! Due to our own issues with scheduling, we didn't have the engagement photoshoot until 2 days before the wedding. It was ultimately perfect, Buffy made sure we were comfortable and did everything to help us prep for the actual day of. She was great with communication and on time for everything. During the actual ceremony and cocktail hour, the team wasn't intrusive and the pics are perfect. Thank you!

    Best wedding photographers ever!!!!

    I cannot recommend our photographer Kristin and Lifelong photography enough! Their communication was clear and timely, they were always pleasant to talk to over the phone, and they were very professional. Our photographer Kristin was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, professional, but at the same time was laid back and made the entire experience super fun. They were one of my absolute favorite vendors!!! Thank you Kristin and Lifelong!!! You guys are the best!!

    Highly recommend!!

    From start to finish, the process of working with Lifelong was smooth and professional. We had Buffy as our main photographer for our November 2023 wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete. We also did an engagement session with her at the University of Tampa earlier in the year (which was included in our package). Both sets of photos turned out so beautiful, and the turnaround for the editing process was so fast!! We really enjoyed working with Buffy (and team)--they knew all the good spots for taking photos at our venue, and they knew exactly how to direct us for posing even though we are both very camera shy. I love that they included some creative artistic shots too! I would highly recommend Lifelong!!

    The Best Experience

    We came across Lifelong Photography here on Wedding Wire and immediately understood why they had such outstanding ratings. The entire staff are a joy to work and communicate with. When we booked our Wedding Day Photography, we also booked our Engagement Shoot included in our package and were so impressed by the photography quality. It’s completely our style and what we were going for. We worked with Emily for both sessions who went above and beyond for us. We also booked a Photobooth for our reception and received a flash drive and photo book of everyone who took pictures there with a customized photo strip. It was a great gift to remember the night. The entire staff did a tremendous job at making our day feel so special and memorable. We couldn’t be more grateful. We would recommend them to anyone.

    I was impressed how great my engagement pics came out. I know I didn't have to worry about how my wedding day pics would come. I am still waiting for the results but Buffy my photographer did let me peek at some on her camera and I absolutely loved them. Her ideas and my wish list she made sure she covered everything. Can't wait to see the rest but you won't be disappointed. She made me feel very comfortable and had great ideas and picture options.

    Lifelong is Amazing!

    Loved Buffy and Lifelong photography. From our first meeting doing our engagement pictures at the St Pete Pier we loved her work and vision. On the day of our wedding she did a great job of capturing every moment and we loved every picture! Our sneak peaks were released yesterday and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Her 2nd shooter Emily was also a rockstar. She did a lot of the solo shots for my husband and the ones including his groomsmen. He loved how encouraging she was and how easily she explained what she wanted him to do. Would highly recommend Buffy, Emily, and Lifelong photography!

    The best photographers in the game!

    We used lifelong for our wedding & I would recommend them to anyone! We had 2 photographers, Gabrielle & Kristin- who were both incredible! They were so helpful with poses, had so many great ideas & made all the pictures so much fun! They made sure to get all the photos on my must have shot list & shoot in multiple locations which I appreciated so much! My husband & I were both so comfortable with both of our photographers & they documented our day so perfectly. We received our sneak peek pictures in less than 2 weeks (which I was SO HAPPY about!). We cannot wait to get the rest of our album!

    Emily & Bailey did a fantastic job at our wedding! They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable during our lovely but stressful day. Very knowledgable, gave great direction and captured gorgeous photos. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Lifelong.

    They were incredible!

    I can not begin to explain how amazing Emily and Bailey were! Not only were they incredibly kind and just amazing to work with, but they are also so talented! Our wedding and engagement photos were amazing and have made my family and friends cry looking at them. They captured every moment and every detail to a 'T' and made everyone feel comfortable at the same time. I would hire them again in a heart beat, and highly highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great photography team!

    Beyond Amazing

    Emily is by far the best photographer. Our second photographer margarita was beyond amazing as well. They were perfect they got every shot we asked for plus more. They never made us feel rushed and some points I think they were more excited for our big day then us. They were involved and actually loved being at our wedding. Book them you won’t regret it!!!

    The Best Photographers Ever!

    I hired Lifelong for my November wedding. Emily was my main photographer. She was amazing. I got to meet with her when we first hired them so I could get to know her prior to our engagement session. She was so sweet and professional. Our engagement session was so beautiful. I told her I needed a lot of help posing, etc. and she made it so easy and effortless. The photos were gorgeous. On my wedding day, she and Kristen made sure I was feeling great and had nothing to stress about. They helped keep everything on time. Again, they both made sure I got all the shots I wanted and they made posing feel effortless. They were patient with all the groomsmen when they were hot and "over it". haha. I got a lot of compliments from family and bridal party that they loved both Emily and Kristen. My day would not have been the same without them. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Lifelong. They are professional and their photos are stunning!

    Gabrielle was amazing

    Gabrielle has the perfect energy and personality and we loved having her on our special day! She knows what she's doing and helped me and my partner get all the pictures we didn't even think we needed. She is very professional, kind, and made the day so much more pleasant. We could not recommend her enough!

    Amazing photographers and beautiful photos

    We had Emily as our lead photographer and Brooke as her assistant. They were so efficient, professional, and made all our photos run smoothly. The 2 photographer package was perfect for both girls and guys photos as well as quickly getting family photos done in the hot sun. We chose lifelong for their beautiful, timeless photos and editing and we are obsessed with our sneak peek photos and can’t wait to get the rest. Every person we spoke to from lifelong was so kind and helpful. Emily and Brooke were amazing and we highly recommend them!!!!

    Thank you buffy and emily!

    There are not enough great things I can say about Buffy and Emily! We had our wedding at Opal Sands in May 2022. Buffy and Emily were professional and respected my photo requested and order of events. Professional, Kind, Detail-oriented, and truly SOOOOOO talented. They also recommended us to our amazing videographer, Storybook Films, Orlando! I spent the most time with Buffy the day of and truly was blown away by her. If you are looking for a wedding photographer - look no further!!!! I am overly detailed and they captured everything so perfectly!!! Our photos came back so wonderful and we will cherish them forever - THANK YOU BUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lifelong Photography Studio

    We LOVED using Lifelong for our wedding day! Emily was amazing, her energy, personality were exactly what we needed to feel comfortable being photographed all day! Even for our engagement shoot, we photographed it in the pouring rain and she was still our ultimate hype girl! She even did a great job getting family to cooperate for family portraits at the wedding (which was a task in itself). We wanted a photographer that captured the fun and in the moment photos - not just posed shots and that’s exactly what we got! We couldn’t be happier!
