Meet Johanny Simmonds
Florida isn't just where I work. It's home. I've spent years photographing proposals, weddings, and celebrations across the state's most beautiful coastlines, resorts, and destinations. Whether you're exchanging vows on the beach, at a waterfront resort, or at a luxury estate, I'll help you experience Florida the way it deserves to be experienced.
I had my own iconic Florida wedding and it was one of the best days of my life. I hope the same for all of my couples experiencing and celebrating these moments in Florida and beyond!

How far in advance should we book our photographer and videographer?
Most couples reserve their date 8–14 months in advance, especially for popular wedding seasons in Tampa, Orlando, and throughout Central Florida. Because we accept a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives a personalized experience, we recommend reaching out as soon as you have your date and venue secured.
Do you offer both photography and videography together?
Yes. We offer combined photo and film collections so your entire wedding story is captured seamlessly by one creative team. This approach allows us to document your day in a cohesive way, ensuring your photos and films reflect the same style, energy, and storytelling.
What is your photography style?
Our approach blends documentary storytelling with a cinematic flare. This means we focus on capturing authentic, candid moments as they naturally unfold while also guiding you through timeless portraits that feel relaxed and effortless. The result is imagery that feels both natural and refined.
How do we secure our wedding date?
Your date is officially reserved with a signed agreement and a retainer payment. Once those are completed, your wedding is secured on our calendar. You will send a calendar confirmation.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes. Engagement sessions are a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other before the wedding day and for you to become comfortable in front of the camera. Many couples also use these images for save-the-dates or wedding websites.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. While we frequently document weddings throughout Tampa, Orlando, and Central Florida, we also travel for destination weddings. Travel accommodations are custom-quoted depending on location.
