La Vie Studios — Local services in Coral Gables

I'll start with this to save you time and effort in planning, in case you don't have time to read my novel of praise… Book La Vie Studios for photo and video… for your wedding, proposal, or anything special you want captured forever… just do it. & now for my novel of praise. My husband did a ton of research before his surprise proposal and found/chose Jose at La Vie Studios to capture it. From day one of our engagement and wedding planning journey La Vie Studios never ceased to amaze us and were the first to make us feel right at home in Miami. Literally right away Jose seemed like a friend we’d known for years. No awkward posing, uncomfortable, miserably long unnatural photos. Also, for everyone who hates photos – my groom can testify how painless they make it (and all the guys said ‘Amen’). Jose and Jess (& all La Vie Studios squad) are the best vibes to surround yourself with and just good people, never making you feel judged or like a stranger. They were by far the first vendor we booked, as it was by far the most obvious choice. They even helped us out with recommendations for other vendors we struggled to find. They are great with communication, responding to emails/texts as promptly as if you’re their closest friend and only client. Even though they actually have a zillion clients because they’re incredible. Their turn around time is impressive to say the least. We received our engagement sneak peak within 48 hours of the surprise session and the full gallery not much longer after. Our (very generous) wedding sneak peak was in our inbox within days and the huge full photo gallery/ all videos were emailed to us about 5 weeks after the wedding. & the end result photos and videos? We’re obsessed. Their attention to detail is unreal. I can’t count how many comments we received that our wedding photos should be in a magazine. Now… All this speaks about their amazing character, work, talent, professionalism, and devotion to their clients; but most importantly, they captured my husband and I in the most precious moments of our lives. They captured priceless forever memories from the moment my husband got down on one knee to our last tear-filled wedding dance. Nothing forced, nothing unnatural, just us and truly us, our love, our laughs, our friends and family, how much fun we (and everyone) had, our crazy dance moves, our biggest memories and tiniest most special fleeting moments, our uniquely us forever love story. Their work will fill our homes and our best days, and when we face challenges, one look at the true love they captured will remind us exactly why we’re on this...

Jess........................you are a magician!!!! I must say that from the day we did our research on your company, met you and spoke with you in regards to what we were looking for, your personality alone won us over! Due to the fact that I'm also in the service industry, I have a different appreciation for your willingness to work with the wedding couple and your open minded approach to shoot whatever shots we wanted, if any. Jose was a very welcome addition to your skills as he was equally as polite, willing and so so easy to work with. Both of your patience and attention to the little details that made a difference, was outstanding on our wedding day. Anyone who got married knows that the wedding day can be a very stressful time, but the both of you did an amazing job with keeping things calm and under control. I don't know how you do it.

Now above all, what TOTALLY impressed me is that after the wedding, you sent me 10 'teaser shots' that showed me a bit of what you were able to capture on our day. I know everyone is biased by their own pics and have the opinion that their wedding pics are the absolute greatest pics, but although I won't say that about ours..........I would go further to say that our location was beautiful to us and we wanted to get married there, but the few pics you sent us showed me the UNBELIEVABLE TALENT that you have!! You made our venue look like nothing short of a fairy tale and I can't talk enough about your skills! WOW! Honestly, you have shown us that our confidence and decision in choosing YOU above all other photographers was not only the best decision we could have ever made, but you have now placed us above cloud 9 with how we feel about our wedding day.

After all the hustle and preparation for over a year, all we have to reflect on are the pics and video. Nobody has a video hanging on their wall so the pictures are what you rely on. Thanks to you guys, we can't wait to see the full set of photos and can only imagine the hard choices we will have when we get to pick the ones to enlarge for all to see. So much anticipation for what is to come, we are beyond excited to have been so lucky to have you as our photographers. THANK...

If you have stumbled across Jose and his team at La Vie Studios for your wedding, honestly congrats and look no further because they are the team you want and need for your wedding! My husband and I got married in Key Largo, Florida in February and hired La Via for both our photography and videography for our big day. We also had Jose shoot our engagement photos in Miami and they were absolutely stunning - we knew we had made the right decision for the wedding.

When the wedding day came, Jose + his team were phenomenal. They captured every single detail perfectly and just how we wanted. My husband and I knew photos were important to us, but wanted more candid shots than super posed ones, as that is more our style. Jose and the team nailed it - he said from our first initial call that he was there to make our wedding day just how we wanted it and he did just that. We wanted to take the time to get those great shots, but more importantly, we wanted to spend time with our friends and family and capture those moments. Jose made sure that is exactly what happened.

We got our sneak peak pics back before we even woke up the next day and our sneak peak wedding video was not too long after we were back from our honeymoon. Delivery of all of our photos was so timely as well - I have heard horror stories from other brides having to wait SO LONG to get theirs back. Not with La Vie.

I literally was sobbing at the end of our wedding because of how much fun we had and how much his team had made us feel totally ourselves (but also like the beauty queen/king you are supposed to feel like on your wedding day)! I could write a novel on how much La Vie and their team made our wedding day absolutely perfect but I will surely run out of my word limit soon. Bottom line, if you want photos and videos that are exactly the way you picture your wedding day - you have to hire La Vie Studios! They listen, they're fun, they're friendly, they're professional and you'll want to figure out a way to be friends with them after your day has...
