About
01. my philosophy →
Hey there! I'm Juju! I am a wedding and elopement photographer who loves anything outdoors, and that fresh new kind of love between two humans. I currently live in Tampa Bay, and travel all over the country shooting weddings! I started this journey full time over 10 years ago and absolutely love what I get to do. I love laughter, movement & am obsessed with chasing sunsets. If you're a bride, looking for the non-posing, non traditional type weddings- let's chat over coffee, or meet up for some tacos and margaritas and make it happen!

the wedding experience
Let's be real here, anyone can take a pretty photograph now and days, however, the experience I create for my couples is what I take the most pride in. I feel humbled to be considered for your big day, so thank you for being here! One thing is for sure, I am a lover of love in all ways. I love that cheesy over the top kind of love, where you finish each others sentences. Or that sweet love where you just stare into each others eyes in silence with calmness from that alone. The way I see the world with love surrounding us is how I strive to shoot always. It is my goal to give you an experience that leaves you feeling emotions you may have not even realized were there! Whether it's your big wedding day, an engagement session, anniversary session, or a fun family session, I want to follow your journey and document all that LOVE.
When working with me, I am there for you in every way. I help with sample timelines, outfit ideas, and if you need recommendations for other vendors- I got you too! Weddings are already so stressful, and I want to make sure you are enjoying your day!
My style is about capturing raw and authentic beauty + emotions while creating a comfortable and fun time together. The most important thing to me is the experience I give my couples. I want my couples leaving feeling like they just hung out for date night (with me tagging along!) I currently shoot weddings and elopements all over the country and am based out of the Tampa Bay Area. I love to travel and have a bucket list of cities that I offer a discount on if you decide to elope to one!
My couples mean the world to me. I get to know you both on a level where you become my people. I never want my couples to forget who I am, because I won't ever forget you both! 10 years from now I want you to look back at your wedding day and feel every emotion you felt from moments that I photographed. You're more than a wedding on the books to me. And I am thankful beyond words that I get to document it all!

Lifestyle photography
One thing I especially love is following along with my couples in their lives and getting to document milestones that happen! These photoshoots are candid and can be either indoors or outdoors. A lifestyle session is exactly what it sounds like! A photoshoot to document your family and your lifestyle. Whether that be an anniversary, graduation, maternity, or family session- these types of sessions are going to be very different than anything posed. These sessions include candid photographs with genuine, real moments between you and your family.

let's chase the sunset together
Hey there! I'm Juju! I am a wedding and elopement photographer who loves anything outdoors, and that fresh new kind of love between two humans. I currently live in Tampa Bay, and travel all over the country shooting weddings! I am a full time mom to 3 amazing boys who have shown me what love truly is.
On most days, you can find me at home with my hair in a messy bun, drinking a Starbucks coffee editing away, and trying to balance mom and work life. I have an unhealthy obsession with The Office + New Girl and binge watch episodes as I edit. I am a lover of anything Khalil Gibran wrote and absolutely love a great novel. You might find me teaching Zumba during the week and occasionally making fun reels with my youngest son too!
I started this journey full time over 8 years ago and absolutely love what I get to do. I love laughter, movement & am obsessed with chasing sunsets. I am all about the wildly and in love, who are adventurous, laid back and carefree. I am for those couples who don’t want the traditional and posed, but instead modern boho style with their hair being blown by the wind. I am for couples who value more emotion rather than perfection. For couples who want to chase the sunsets together with endless moments of sweet memories on a cliff side, or sand in their toes while melodies blare in the distance.
Building a relationship with you both is so important to me! It's how trust is formed and how I create such a fun and relaxed environment for all. When booking with me, I want you to fully trust my style of shooting and how I create art with my camera. I am someone who can always make you feel comfortable and happy with movement and direction and some tunes softly blaring during our session. I love to laugh and don't mind dancing around to my jams too! I care so much about making everyone who steps in front of my lens feel their most beautiful and happy always.

"while a single photo is a still image, a collection of them can tell a story. but that is only true if it is done right. i recently was married and was photographed by many photographers. juju was the only one that captured the true nature of my relationship with wife. juju did more than an outstanding job. i can honestly say juju captured our feelings. if someone asked me how beautiful i saw my wife, it would be impossible to describe. instead, i'll show the photos of my wife taken by juju. so everyone can see what i see."

"i had such an amazing experience with juju photography. she is incredibly talented and creative. her work is perfection and i couldn't have asked for better looking photos or even a better experience. i was a bit nervous, since i'm incredibly awkward and didn't want to ruin my own pictures, but after just a few shots i was so relaxed and comfortable with her, then it was pure excitement and i didn't want it to end. i will never choose another photographer, she will do my wedding photos and kids photos when i have them."

"where to start!? from our first phone conversation i felt completely comfortable with juju. before i made any decision i wanted to have my fiancé meet with juju. of course meeting another vendor was the last thing he wanted to do on his weekend but he agreed. we got a great vibe from juju and the work she showed us was amazing. my fiancé gave the go ahead to hire her (yay). juju kept in contact with us as we scheduled our engagement session and exchanged ideas for locations. day of our engagement session we jumped right in. we didn’t have tondo any awkward poses. everything was so natural. we had so much fun that day with juju and shared so many laughs. our photos exceeded our expectations! wedding day...we had no regret what so ever with our decision to hire juju. not only did we fall in love with her not so did our friends and family. not only did we have family and friends shed tears of happiness for us on our special day but so did juju! she fit in perfect with our crazy family (in a good way). we have received our sneak peek photos from our wedding and we are beyond excited to see the remaining photos. juju thank you for everything! i wish she specialized in family photos so we can hire her for future family photos."

FAQs
I am based in the Tampa Bay area and am always excited to travel. While most sessions take place within the bay area, we choose a location together that best represents your personal style. Travel within 60 miles is included and for locations outside of that, a travel fee may apply.
Lucky for you both- awkwardness is my first language! Every couple thinks they will be nervous but it is so much fun! During our session, I play music (I have a very eclectic playlist) along with fun games that you both play together. The session goes by super quick while enjoying love, laughter and lots of smiles together!
WHERE ARE YOU BASED AND DO YOU TRAVEL?
nerves get the best of us infront of the camera, how will that work?
Yes! I am licensed and insured. In case your location needs an insurance binder, no worries, I've got you!
ARE YOU LICENSED & INSURED?
For weddings, 12-16 weeks. Engagement sessions, 3-4 weeks. Any Lifestyle sessions, 4-6 weeks.
For all galleries, you'll receive an online gallery link with all your edited photos (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can view all the photos from the gallery and purchase digital images, but you can also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!

"I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from JuJu at a workshop back in March. Juju is not only an INCREDIBLE person, but she was the best, most personable instructor. I learned so much from her about posing and making your sessions all about the experience. She gives you so much usual information and is so knowledgable. Her personality just rubs off on you and puts a smile on your face. I went away from the workshop feeling refreshed and ready to reach my photography goals. Even today, she still answers any questions I have. You are missing out if you haven’t met her!!"

"juju helped me connect with my clients on another level. She taught me how to pull real raw emotions out during my intimate couple sessions and how to have fun. Learning from Juju has changed how I interact with my couples and taught me how to give them an experience they will never forget."
