1. Cole Zimmerman of Craft Creek Photography

2. Samuel Febres Photography & Design

Samuel Febres graduated from Florida State University with a degree in photography, which he puts to use as a talented photographer. Specializing in live music, Samuel helps local musicians cultivate their all important image through his work, not only showing how much they love performing, but also how much love they are receiving from the audience.

With his indelible work, he shows off his own special skills—changing or vibrantly colored stage lights and constantly moving subjects present their own challenges, as do capturing the joy the crowd is experiencing, but he does both with a seemingly effortless flair. The angles of each shot are carefully planned for maximum impact, and a sense of dynamism and his ability to capture the energy of a performance in its entirety is truly admirable. If you want all of the details of your special event, especially if you are a performance artist in the Central Florida area, give Samuel’s work a look on his website or portfolio on Behance.

3. Smile in Style Events

An unconventional Tallahassee event photographer, Smile in Style specializes in helping create not just photos but an experience. After seeing for themselves just how much joy event-goers can experience when there is a photo booth and props available, Smile in Style was created in 2011.

They have put an incredible amount of thought into both their setups and their packages, and there is truly something for everyone. Working hundreds of events, from weddings to corporate functions, has given them a reputation for being the life of the party.  As a photo booth rental company, they bring a sense of fun wherever they go!

4. Garrett Artman of Artman Photography

Covering Central Florida, Garrett Artman also offers his unique eye to events throughout the United States. Specializing in weddings and elopements and available for all kinds of events including birthday parties and reunions, Garrett has a photojournalistic style, which is perfect for preserving the emotions of a day, no matter the occasion.

Expertly blending posed with unposed shots, he also has a concurrent specialty of portraits, meaning you are sure to receive gorgeous photos of yourself and your guests.

5. Artsinfotos Photography

Christophe is a wedding storyteller, capturing one of the most important events in life, the day two people say “I do.” He incorporates carefully posed shots in with his usually candid and unobtrusive shots for a mix of photos that encompasses the full story of your day. Plus, he has an amazing ability to seemingly be everywhere at once, capturing both the look of a bride as she heads down the aisle as well as the emotion-filled groom.

Since he specializes in weddings, you can be sure that he can handle just about any lighting situation from the dark interiors of churches to dazzling sunsets on beaches. While he spends most of his time, and most of his photographic energy—in Florida and the South—he also regularly heads up to the Northeast to help couples tell their wedding stories.  

6. Rachel Lauen of Ultimate Production Company

Rachel Lauen is the lead photographer of the Ultimate Production Company. Offering event services including wedding photography, wedding and event videography, and even DJ services, the Ultimate Production Company team is here for you when you want your event to be epic. With work featured in The Knot, Visit Florida, Panama City Living, and David’s Bridal, Rachel’s light and airy style is an eye-catcher.

Using both the gorgeous light that Florida is famous for and the ethereal fabrics of a wedding dress, she creates one-of-a-kind, magical portraits with love at the center of it all. Perhaps she says it best herself, “Try to blend editorial with traditional. Your gallery will consist of some ‘smile at the camera’ shots, but we don’t focus on the ultra posed. If I see something that will make an incredible shot [think magazine cover], I’ll ask you first and then try to set it up.” If you want to work with a team who will not only help you preserve your memories of your event, but who will also help produce it, give this team a call!
