Regina as The Photographer

essly through the chaos to take some awesome photos. In addition to her being a great photographer, she also went above and beyond and helped me out with scheduling questions and other random inquiries that she was incredibly knowledgeable about due to her having been involved in so many weddings! Regina is a wonderful person, took great photos, and was a true joy to work with all around!

tunning the photos were. We originally just booked wedding photos but realized we wanted engagement photos with our pets and Regina was wonderful about customizing the package and totally up for including our rabbits into the photos. Having the pictures with our pets is so worth it!! Not only are the photos stunning she was an amazing person to have around us on our wedding day.

o capture our big day so perfectly.

king for vendors where we had values-alignment in that way, and appreciated how clear she was about that on her website. Her portfolio was beautiful and we had a great initial call. On our wedding day, she met us where we were getting ready, and gave great guidance on what to do to get the best pictures which is guidance we were looking for. It was clear she had experience with Sunken Gardens (our venue) which made everything easier, and she worked seamlessly with our videographer (Labif Filmhouse) which was so appreciated. She knew where and how to get the best shots with the best lighting. At the end of the night, she suggested some nighttime shots which ended up being some of our favorites. We were super happy with our experience, and definitely recommend working with Regina!

recommend anyone reach out to her for their special day.

eone that could capture the heart of every moment. I came across Regina’s profile on Instagram and was immediately stunned. The way she captures emotion, lighting, and warmth in her photos was truly stunning. My now husband and I reached out to her for our engagement shoot. After our consultation over drinks, I knew we had found our photographer. Our engagement photos were everything we could’ve hoped for so we obviously had to have her for our wedding way! Her skills are unparalleled but it’s her personality that drew us in. She was amazing at offering suggestions while also listening to our needs. She has an amazing eye for detail, experimenting and trying things to get the perfect (or perfectly imperfect) shot. It was so much fun to share our wedding day with her and her team! When we got our wedding photos back, all I could do was cry and scream with happiness inside! I never could’ve imagined our day to look as beautiful as she made it look by capturing everything our hearts could’ve hoped for! She was an absolute joy to work with, a beautiful soul, and I just know we’ve found our forever photographer. (Thank you Regina, for everything)

any questions we had. She was familiar with our venue and had experience working with a few of the other vendors we hired for the wedding. We loved how she helped us plan out a timeline and specific poses / locations for the day, everything went very smoothly, and we were able to get the shots we wanted. Aside from Regina being amazing to work with personally, her photos speak for themselves. She captured the day perfectly and I will cherish the pictures forever. We highly recommend Regina as a photographer, whether it’s a wedding or for other occasions. Her talent and ability show through her photographs. 10/10 -Sheri & Craig Dragoonis

ad we did! Living out of town we weren’t able to do engagement photos with Regina, so other than some virtual calls ahead of the wedding we hadn’t met in person until the day of - but she was so friendly to everyone right away and made everyone feel comfortable! My partner had been nervous to be in front of the camera, but he said multiple times how Regina made it all stress free. Regina worked out a great timeline for us that helped us get family + friends in the right places at the right time for photos, and allowed us to get plenty of shots of the two of us. She happily accommodated any photo ideas we had, although we mostly took her suggestions as she had lots of cool ideas to go along with all of the classic wedding photos. We were so glad we booked Regina and we highly recommend her!!!

n. She totally got our vibe and listened to every request that we had. She was flexible when dealing with people requesting out of schedule photos and even fit in a few with our dogs last minute. 10/10 recommend!

es and they are fantastic. I cannot wait to see all of the photos. Thank you for capturing these beautiful women on their special day!

ly mentioned how much they adored her!). The photos from both our engagement shoot and wedding day are stunning and we'll cherish them forever. Cannot recommend Regina enough, she's truly special.

d her work. So when the time came, she was at the top of our list and one of the first people we contacted. As soon as I met Regina in person at our first meeting, I knew I was going to hire her. Not only was she the sweetest person ever, and we connected on so many levels. But she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about so many other vendors. She had photographed at our venue before, and actually showed us a set-up a previous couple had used in our space, which we ended up using as well. This helped so much because we weren't sure how to set it up previously. The vendor recommendations on her website were also insanely helpful. We booked our Event Coordinators and Hair & Make-up artists (both of which were awesome) because of those recommendations. We live in Washington, but our wedding was in Tampa Bay. We were lucky enough to have Regina come out to Washington to shoot our engagement photos. They came out INCREDIBLE! As photographers we're not used to being in front of the camera, and were a little nervous, but she made the shoot so much fun and effortless. She was amazing on our wedding day as well, helping us pick our locations for photos, and making the whole day stress free. She fit right in with our friends and family, and it felt like we had another friend with us all day. Most of my bridal party said they want to be BFFs with her in real life (us included.) I really can't say enough good things about Regina. She is insanely talented and wonderful. We love all of our photos so much and felt so lucky to have her around on such a big day. What are you waiting for? HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!

go through each of them, we are brought right back to that moment in time and reminisce about every smell, feeling, and action we had that day. There's not one moment where I look at these and don't get emotional about the greatest day of our lives, and she was able to capture every step of the way. Regina has a talent that I am so thankful she shared with us. She was so attentive to our every needs and was an absolute blessing to work with. She is incredibly gifted and was so easy to work with. Anytime I had a question she didn’t hesitate to answer it and put me at ease. I cannot thank her enough for her work and I’ve already planned the next booking with her. Regina will always be apart of our lives and I’m so happy to have had her capture every emotion.

s in a candid and creative way. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are amazing. If you’re getting married, you need her. Seriously. I’ll shout it from the rooftops. I can’t imagine our day without her.

st wedding planning decision we made. She was so much fun to get to work with, and made my husband and I (who are both sort of awkward in front of cameras) feel totally at ease and really enjoy having our pictures taken! Posing was really us enjoying each other and laughing, hugging, kissing and dancing - it felt so natural. Working with Regina during engagement photos and on our wedding day just added to the magic of the whole wedding experience. Now - the actual photos?!?! Unbelievable. Incredible. Amazing. Everyone we show them to is so impressed how perfectly Regina was able to capture us - our love and personalities and relationship really shines through. Also, I was so happy to see detail shots from our wedding day as well. I wasn’t expecting those but the day went by so fast, and honestly a lot of the details I didn’t get to look at with everything else going on. I’m so happy to have photos to look at and see all of the small details that made our day special and that we spent time planning. Lastly, I have a decently large family, and Regina did amazing at making sure we could get all the photos we wanted with them. Overall - our engagement and wedding photos are photos we will cherish forever and honestly I cannot imagine anyone other than Regina and her creativity and incredible style being our photographer and delivering such perfect photos and memories. We feel incredibly lucky to have found and worked with her. I also HIGHLY recommend booking her for a boudoir session as well. Amazing person, amazing photos!

oogle, I sought out her Instagram and really fell in love. She is so creative. She thinks outside the box and has a natural eye for capturing the sweetest moment. Regina made working with her super easy. Her contracts were clear and reasonable. She was on time to all events and had great communication skills. She was patient when capturing our one year old son so that we could have good shots. I loved her work so much that I've now booked a friend photo session in her awesome studio. She books fast, so don't hesitate to reach out to her if you're at all captivated by her work. There is no one else like her.

husband and I are pretty awkward). She also had great shots of wedding parties with pets and we wanted to include our corgi. She managed to catch some great action shots of the three of us together and all of the little sentimental moments from the ceremony and reception. We can't wait to plaster our house with all of our photos!

images. We highly recommend Regina and will be booking her for future services.

r photos and they came out amazing! Every detail was captured!

her, so we were a little nervous, but Regina made us so comfortable and we had so much fun with it! Our pictures came out soooo amazing and so did our wedding photos. She really captured our day and she is amazing at what she does! She knows how to bring out your personalities and capture your love through her pictures. I highly recommend her and we hope to work with her again in the future! Thank you, Regina!

na. After speaking with her and looking through her gallery I just knew she would do a great job. Well imagine my frustration when we had to cancel our wedding and decided to do a small wedding in CO. The main thing I was worried about was spending more time finding the perfect photographer in CO when I had done so much research to find Regina in Tampa. I jokingly made a comment to her that I wish she could come to CO... and she did!!! She captured our intimate wedding PERFECTLY. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and have SO MUCH FUN during our couples photos. My husband wasn’t looking forward to this and ended up having a blast. Stop your search and hire Regina bc she went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. I hope to see her again at friends weddings (seriously my friends who aren’t even engaged yet talked about hiring her for their weddings 😂)

nd, and truly talented. She was an expert with posing and lighting, directing us to the perfect shot, while simultaneously being totally non-intrusive. Have you ever been to a wedding where the photographer was in the way the whole time? You won't have that with Regina. She's like a Polly Pocket ninja, weaving in and out of the group and taking flawless shots. My husband and both of our families are blown away by the photos she took and by the genuine, raw emotion she captured. We laughed, we cried, we drank too much, and she captured it all. Regina, you are an incredible artist and we will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

we were a good match, she offered to FaceTime and she answered any questions we had. We got along great and it was the best decision to go with her. She was generous with her time and met with us prior to the wedding when we were in town. She was gracious with her suggestions and listened to us every step of the way. We had a few requests for the day that she was able to accommodate and we couldn't be more thankful. On the day of our celebration, we knew she was there but couldn't tell because she was like a Ninja snapping away. We felt at ease and were able to be ourselves which is exactly what we wanted. Regina has a gift and that is what transpired when we look back at the day of our celebration, we have the proof. Thank you for everything!

ng! We set up a Skype call where she asked a bunch of questions about what we were thinking, locations etc. It was very nice to have this conversation with her and I really felt like I got to know her better and felt confident in our decision to select her as our photographer. Her portfolio had gorgeous images of all the couples she captured and they looked natural but definitely high class photography. On the day of the wedding, Regina shined! She was so natural in her environment and we definitely weren't the easiest customers since we had a 6 month old and we were running late. She made everyone in our group very comfortable in front of the camera and suggested poses that turned out very good in our pictures! She worked amazing with our 6 month old and got really good pictures of her! We had a really great experience on our wedding day with her and I cannot recommend her enough! When we finally received our pictures back, they were absolutely jaw dropping! People constantly commented on how our wedding pictures should be in high end magazines! She beautifully captured us and I am forever grateful she came into our lives!

s that need to be booked, and then so many options for each of them. Ultimately it's the people around you that will make it special, but capturing that moment is imperative. There are plenty of artists out there with cameras that can do an incredible job. Each of them with their own style. Regina's style is unique and stands out from the rest. She took the time to get to know us through emails, surveys, FaceTimes (as we were located in another city) and truly invested in who we were and what we were looking for. We were a bit hesitant as we knew our venue, The Lightner Museum, in St. Augustine, was uncharted territory for her, but we were confident that her eye would find the perfect spots and capture the feel we wanted. Her work speaks for itself. There is no need to elaborate. Look no further - Regina is the full package and well worth he investment.

eally important for us to find an inclusive photographer - and Regina is a true ally in every sense of the word. She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, sharing recommendations for vendors and cheering us on through the stressful moments. We are also so grateful for her personal dedication to sustainability - it prompted us to think about how we could decrease waste in our wedding and be intention in all our decisions. We feel so lucky that we got to work with Regina!

dding photos. We were planning our elopement only about 2 months out and she responded promptly and fit us into her extremely busy May schedule - even thought she had to travel to another country to take our photos!! Once we met her in person I was even more convinced she was the perfect fit for us. Neither my husband or I had ever had professional photos taken and we were worried we would feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Regina dispelled those fears and reassured us we would be fine (and that she would make us look good, ha!). She flew down the night before our elopement and was so game to just go with the flow and relax with us before and on our day. She was the perfect addition to our elopement (and the only other person present who we knew!) and made us feel totally relaxed and comfortable the entire time. Our photos are all beautiful, and we had so much fun taking them all over the property and down at the beach. She even came out to take pictures of us that evening at our private dinner and snapped some adorable pics of our cake cutting. I was definitely impatient about getting sneak peaks (sorry Regina!!) but she sent me 5 photos the next day from the airport (!!!) and we got to share a glimpse of our day with our friends and families. I'm still so so grateful that she did that for us in the midst of a stressful travel schedule. Overall, Regina made the last-minute planning process so easy and seamless for us, and was such a fun and complementary addition to our day. I have recommended her to many friends who are getting married or looking for photos done in Tampa and we will continue to use her for future photography needs. I highly highly recommend you book Regina for your wedding, especially if you are looking for a unique, relaxed, natural style and super kind, fun, and easy-going person to capture your day like we were.

on your big day. In addition to her amazing photography skills, she is such a kind and sweet person! She made our wedding day go so smoothly and worked with me so much when making the photography timeline. I had it in mind that we would devote a large time of the day to photos prior to the ceremony, to ensure we didn't feel rushed once the big day started rolling. It was amazing and we were able to get so many incredible photos, and never felt rushed at all :) Hire her. You won't regret it! P.S. Just about every person always compliments how incredible our engagement photos and wedding photos are!!

ot engaged we sat down with Regina for over an hour and we knew she was the right photographer for us. Regina turned our vision into reality, from our engagement photos to the actual wedding. She made the experience so easy and fun for us. Regina took a sincere interest in us as a couple and mirrored our personalities in every photo she took. She was the perfect balance of keeping things fun and light while still making sure everything stayed on track and was completed as we outlined prior to the wedding. She was super hands on in coordinating the timeline with our wedding planner. The photos are absolutely breath taking and stunning. We could not be happier. We don’t even know how to pic which photos to frame because each one is better than the last. We would highly recommend Regina and can’t wait to use her again for maternity photos 😉 Megan and Logan

he is so sweet! We hired her in short notice, she was able to provide excellent services, catch creative photos, and all the while engaging my husband and I. I love her work with reflections and the environment. You can see all her portfolios, social media sites, reviews etc, and you will understand that she will be the best choice for your special day. Afterwards, our photos were available on an online gallery, able to download, but I created a photo album and ordered prints.

ding up to and on the day of the wedding. We gave her free reign in the creativity department, and we could not be happier. Our portraits are breath-taking and so unique. She caught all of the important moments, even those we didn't know we missed. She was everywhere at once during the reception, snapping shots when we weren't looking. As we scrolled through the hundreds of photos she took and edited, we were beside ourselves with laughter, tears, and love. It's like reliving the day over and over. So many special memories were made and will not be forgotten. For anyone considering Regina as your photographer, you really won't regret it. We love her so much!!!

ite and social media, and hired Regina to take couples photos of us AND our 4-wheeled #vanlife home. Obviously, we were pretty picky about choosing a photographer who could capture US, and who we felt would "direct" us more than pose us. We had worked with Regina at weddings and really fell in love with her photography style, and the way she worked with couples on their wedding days. She delivered above and beyond what we expected for our own photo session! She was extremely easy going during our session, had tons of amazing ideas, and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera (which we're definitely not used to). Our final images were absolutely stunning and there wasn't a single photo we'd change anything about. She truly captured our goofy, silly, side AND our sexy, sultry, romantic side. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding or engagement session, you've found your girl!

a is awesome, and we knew it immediately from our FaceTime with her. She is down to earth and so easy to talk too that having her as our photographer we would be in great hands. And we were. Wedding days can be very stressful. The calm and happiness Regina brought to our day was priceless. Regina was able to capture moments we didn’t even know happened, telling an amazing story that we will cherish forever. Above all, we were overjoyed with her presence. She felt like part of the family. Her photography is astounding and speaks for itself. However, Reginas joy for life and other people is something I hoped to have conveyed here. When planning your wedding there are so many decisions to make. Don’t overthink this one and hire Regina

for her. Regina worked with our friends at their wedding so we were familiar with her portfolio, but didn’t know what to expect from her as a person. We did not have a traditional wedding – ours was a pop-up wedding planned in 3 months in another city. But one thing that was very important to was finding the right person to capture our non-traditional day. We wanted to have photos that we would look back on that would look like us and be timeless, but wanted to capture our day candidly. Regina was the absolute perfect person for that. From our first meeting, we knew that she would be the perfect person to capture our wedding – she could roll with the punches and put us both at ease. She is clearly an experienced photographer and genuinely cares about her couples (and their crazy families), which is evidenced by her photographs and the moments she is able to capture. From start to finish, she provided constant support, advice and guidance to us, when we clearly had no idea what we wanted. As mentioned, it was a quite strange situation, with a quick party-like wedding, a big secret to keep, a wedding venue that was not done renovating, and travel to Orlando (hello, I-4 traffic). She handled it all with grace and was a calming presence on a chaotic day. The end result was amazing. The photos are a fantastic balance of beautiful posed photographs of us, hilarious candids, and wild party photos (in the best possible way and EXACTLY what we wanted). She blended seamlessly with our family and friends, like a wedding ninja. As we sit here, writing this on our first anniversary, we are looking back at our photos and can’t help but feel so grateful. Regina’s photos captured the day just as we remembered it – the joy, the laughter, the tears, and the reminders to stop making ridiculous faces. We strongly recommend Regina to anyone looking for an amazing photographer that can capture your day in a way that truly reflects the love, laughter, and fun for all involved. Thank you, Regina.

he helped with my nerves, she directed me for the very best photo angles, she held my flowers, she got me a drink and produced the most beautiful photos of the day, the details, and of me!!!! SOOO glad I booked her for the big day!

ntly with the way she handled us afterwards. We both felt that our final images appeared poorly lit and focused, very dark, and far too noisy. From our standards, only about 80 out of the 266 images we received were even remotely usable for printing. When we viewed them on the gallery, at a small size, they appeared ok but when we received the full size images, and zoomed all of the way in, we were not satisfied at all with the quality provided. I, the bride, legitimately cried when I did this because I knew we would not be able to use the images to make any enlarged prints of our wedding. On top of that, after our photos were delivered, we immediately requested to meet Regina in person and, at first, Regina stated that she was just too busy and could Facetime instead then, she later stated, that she never met with couples after a wedding unless they purchased an album. We found this to be the most unprofessional thing we had ever heard from any professional photographer, especially one devoted to shooting weddings! We also felt that Regina did a very poor job of color managing our images due to that fact that our images were delivered to us with all of the color removed from the flowers in the bouquet, leaving them solid gray. When we brought it up she went back and edited some of the very noticeable "gray bouquet" images by adding yellow back, making them appear poorly white-balanced. After only corresponding briefly, and making what seemed to be small changes, she then told us we had to pay $25 per image to make any further corrections. We found this to be frustrating do to the fact that we had no control initially over her color management, or lighting, and didn't think it was necessary to have to point out that flowers shouldn't be toned gray. To make things worse, it seemed to come across through email, that she was blaming us, our guests, the lighting, the location, literally every thing about our wedding for the problems we mentioned, instead of admitting any fault or just trying to make things right. We were so frustrated with her work, responses, and lack of professionalism that we could barely look at the images afterwards. Months later when we requested a partial refund she first sent us a contract to sign with a CLAUSE STATING THAT WE COULD NOT LEAVE ANY REVIEWS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE OUR REFUND! We did not feel this was fair and , needless to say, we did not sign that contract and gave up our refund!

. Regina has the best energy, and really helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera - we had such a blast with her. Even our family and guests commented on how fun and wonderful she was. Regina was also extremely helpful in the runup to the wedding, on hand with advice and recommendations when we needed it. But beyond all of that she simply creates the most amazing photos! It was so amazing to receive our album back and see what she had captured. Regina is a wonderful person and hugely talented. We are so fortunate to have had her as part this special moment in our lives.

pictures, but she was super friendly, more-than knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. Regina was great with our dog (who is nervous around strangers, but warmed to her quickly), wonderful with our family, and generous with her time. I cannot recommend her more.

ill definitely be visiting her for more photos in the future. :)

al. Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and I wasn’t willing to settle for average work when choosing a photographer. Regina’s portfolio immediately spoke to me because of her unique compositions, rich color, and use of depth of field. The engagement, ceremony, and reception photographs that she created for us far exceeded our expectations. The images are beautiful, unique, and really capture the spirit of these important moments. If you’re looking for a photographer with passion and artistic vision, Regina should be at the top of your list.

uch as you have to be for engagement and wedding photos, but she is so good at what she does and makes you feel at ease. She is creative with her photos and does an amazing job capturing all of the perfect moments. The quality of her photos are outstanding and I get so many compliments and many people often ask about her. Have already recommended her to a few people. Will definitely use her again in the future!

ting and editing is impeccable. Our photos are unique and beautiful. They captured the day and the moments we shared with our guests perfectly. I didn't want typical wedding photographs. I wanted something edgy, different, creative but yet classic and beautiful. Regina captured this perfectly. Not only is her product fantastic but Regina herself was like having a calming friend nearby. We had our fair share of family drama, scheduling mishaps and lots of difficulty with our planner. Regina faced each curveball with ease and grace and kept my husband and me calm as well. I loved her presence and personality, which helped to make sharing such intimate moments in front of a camera that much easier. I am obsessed with my photos and think Regina is a wonderful photographer, wonderful person and professional businesswoman. You will not regret hiring Regina!

that was only further sealed when we met her. Everything with Regina was so easy – she is wonderful with communication and follow up, and definitely went above and beyond to make our experience something that we will cherish. Bonus is that Regina is an absolute joy to be around, she is so knowledgeable and down to earth that I was able to brush off my awkwardness and enjoy the process. During both my engagement photos and wedding, everything was so smooth, and she has a wonderful energy about her that is very positive and calming. My wedding was only a little over 2 weeks ago, we received our sneak peaks within a couple of days and I am totally obsessed with them and how well she captured this day. If you are on the fence on who to choose, just meet with her and I would bet that you will have found your photographer!

out weddings in the area and needed to work with vendors who were going to be responsive and efficient. Regina was that and more. She was quick to respond to everything I inquired about and put my mind at rest immediately. Regina shared her portfolio, gave us a flexible payment scheme but most importantly captured our wedding day perfectly. So much so that I still get tears in my eyes when I look back at our pictures. To be able to transport us back to that day through her photography is a gift. Not only we were delighted with the pictures but working with Regina was so much fun. She's completely on trend, understood what was important to us and what we wanted to avoid and just generally made the process wholly enjoyable. It felt natural and not at all formal which was the very essence of what we wanted our wedding to be about. I would highly recommend Regina if you're looking for beautiful, contemporary pictures of your big day.

raphers, but my choice was made as soon as I started talking to Regina and saw her work! Many photographers would not even consider being a second photographer for my wedding, and told me they could be my main photographer or nothing. Regina was so sweet about our circumstance and was not only open, but excited to shoot our wedding! It was so easy to communicate with her leading up to the wedding. :) She was very professional the day of the wedding and my main photographer, family, and friends commented to me all day how much they liked her and how easy she was to work with! She even got my husband and I drinks from our cocktail hour so we could enjoy them between photos. I would recommend Regina over and over! ❤️
