y wedding was postponed indefinitely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. My fiance and i decided instead of postponing everything indefinitely, we'd throw a small ceremony in a family member's backyard. Jose and Jess worked with us on their original proposal and not only gave us amazing engagement photos, also split the time from our package to cover our backyard wedding and agreed to honor their original price for the eventual party, when those are allowed again. The photos are as good as all the other reviewers say, but more importantly, Jose is so positive and so on board with all your ideas. He made us feel like fun, goofy, beautiful geniuses. Also, every single woman and gay man at our backyard event asked me for his number. He is too handsome to be behind the camera. If you're on the fence between La Vie and another photographer, and you want to know your photographer will be a partner to you on your big day or event, go with La Vie. They are more than just excellent photograph... Read moreers. They are excellent people.

Jose and Jess from La Vie Studios are a dream to work with. I loved all of the samples wedding galleries on their site and knew that I wanted them to photograph our wedding. I booked La Vie prior to the pandemic and it was the best decision I made. I just received our full gallery and I am in love with all of the pictures. I'm having a hard time trying to pick which ones to print and put up in our new house. Jose and Jess make you feel at ease through the entire process from booking all the way through the wedding day. As soon as I met them, I knew it was going to be a great experience. Thank you La Vie for photographing our wedding day and allowing us to relive the memories forever through the images. I'm obsessed, highly recommend.

I have known Jessenia for a while now and since I met her and her work I have always done my photography with her. My boyfriend is someone that does not enjoy being photographed much but with her the process is so much easier! He has voiced how he likes her style and her personality makes the session enjoyable. The quality of her work is excellent and I plan on using her services in the future.

Completely wonderful experience working with La Vie Studios for my Key Largo wedding. They are so easy to work with, -- interacting beautifully with our crazy family on the day of and pulling off shots I never even realized they were taking because of how unobtrusive their style is! Their work is so gorgeous, vibrant and happy. I am completely blown away by the photos they sent us and cannot possibly recommend them enough! Thank you!

Jose was an absolute pleasure to work with. We booked La Vie studios for our engagement photo shoot at Vizcaya and Jose did a remarkable job making my fiance and I comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We were sent our preview within hours of our shoot and received the final engagement package less than 3 weeks later. We LOVE our photos and you can see how much fun was had through them! Beyond happy with Jose and La Vie Studios. If you're looking for a photographer - don't look further.

I would give La Vie 10 stars if I could! Jess and Jose were amazing!! They are so nice l and extraordinary in their profession . They captured our fairytale wedding in photos and video. I can’t express how unbelievably grateful we are for them. Jess was awesome, she made me feel comfortable and captured formal and candid moments with ease. La Vie takes great time and effort into each wedding photo. THANK YOU Jess and Jose! I will definitely choose you again for future events.

We got married last month and Jose was our lead photographer and we were lucky to also have Jess as our photographer for our chapel ceremony and all I can say is WOW! Jose also did our engagement pics and from meeting him that day, I knew our pictures would turn out to be everything we every imagined and they sure did! Jose and Jess are extremely patient, professional and respond in the click of an eye. They are also super down to ear and HILARIOUS! Great photography team. I have recommended them to everyone I know!

Jess and Jose = the best ever! Who would have thought that randomly meeting at the tiniest wedding expo ever would have resulted in me finding the two most perfect photographers?! Humble, kind, real, and talented are just a few words I would use to describe Jess, Jose and the La Vie Studios team. From the capturing all the special moments before the wedding to always being everywhere during the ceremony and reception, Jess and Rey made my husband and me feel so comfortable. I have been thoroughly impressed by not only the quality of the photography, but by the quality of those that make the photography possible. To Jess, Jose and the La Vie Studios, thank you so much for your hard work, dedication, and overall awesomeness!

I am soooo happy with my wedding photos! If you are just as awkward as me and not use to taking photos FEAR NOT! Jose will come to your rescue and make you feel comfortable. All of my guests and people that have seen the photos are in AWE! They came out so candid and naturally but also sooo beautiful capturing how our wedding was and all of its happiness! I really highly recommend them!!

La Vie Studios deserves the highest rating possible!! We knew from the first time we met them that they were the ones we wanted for our wedding day. We saw their work so we already had high expectations, yet they still exceeded them! Not only are we in love with all of the pictures they captured, but they treat you like long-lost friends the whole time which majorly helps people like us who are awkward behind a camera (and also makes it a blast!). They knew exactly how to work with us so that you couldn’t even tell we’re awkward & gave clear directions that we desperately needed. They even kept us on our timeline and reminded us to take the pictures we had requested when we forgot. I will forever recommend them to everyone that needs photographers. Jess and Jose, we are forever grateful. Our pictures look like works of art and action shots instead of only portraits which was exactly what we were looking for. The pictures perfectly bring back all the memories and emotions and I coul... Read mored rant and rave about how they are the best in the business all day long!

The folks at La Vie Studios are fairy godparents because they make your dreams come true. Please hire them. They are 1000% worth it. They are the perfect combo of professionalism and playfulness. At our wedding they communicated effectively and kindly with everyone for the formal photos and played along with the candid moments as they happened. They also had an eye for some truly incredible shots which brings me to my next point. The final product, the photos, are incredible. I’m the biggest critic of photos of myself but I feel so beautiful in the photos La Vie Studios took. Trust them when they ask to take a shot because they have a vision that knows no bounds. These are truly beautiful and magical photos and with the wedding day itself being such a blur, it is SO nice to have these as a reminder.

There is no better out there I have no doubt! From the first conversation to the day of and now seeing our pictures, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Professional, punctual and the best at what they do. Their photos have already brought back so many special moments that get lost in the chaos of the day. Our guests and vendors alike cannot say enough about how amazing the photos are, in addition Jose and team as great people left a lasting impression. The most advice I got while planning was on the photographer and if that is the benchmark for success, we hit a grand slam!

Ok, so there is no way I can top Holly's novel because she hit every point I wanted to mention and more! So here is a short sequel to her novel lol. So our experience with La Vie Studios is so beautifully intricate that we have to call it MAGIC! My fiance and I were in a long-distance relationship the majority of our engagement, so Jess and Jose accommodated our first meeting to be via Whats App Video Chat. Our conversation with Jess and Jose has been one of the highlights of our wedding journey. We felt like we were adopted into their family and interacted like long-lost Cuban primos that laughed, joked, and collaborated well! We knew that if a What's app chat made us feel such genuine vibes that we did not have to look any further. We booked immediately and did not regret our decision to research any other photographers. They are that OUTSTANDING! During that convo, we mentioned that we wanted to do our engagement session in the big city of NYC, and Jose was so onboard! During ou... Read morer NYC trip, Jose knew how to balance professional and fun so well! We hit all our NYC favorite spots that day, and it did not feel like we were being photographed. Jose cracked jokes and had this way of making us smile that it felt so natural. We just had a blast that trip and would do it all over again! If you plan an NYC engagement or wedding, ask Jose where to find the best banana pudding, it's delicious! Our engagement pictures were on another level, and we can't wait to showcase them in our NYC apartment soon! In between our engagement and wedding, we stayed connected to Jess and Jose via Instagram and FB, stalking them and going gaga over their work, which speaks volumes for itself (such great talent). Come our wedding day; the La Vie team did not come short of their amazingness. They came through for us and treated us, once again, like family! One of our guests came up to us and commented on how spiffy Jess and Jose looked and how well they treated our guests! Their videography team was professional, funny, and so kind! We just got our sneak peek a week after the wedding, which is MAGICAL on their part because they are busy busy busy! There is an emotion that my husband and I get when we saw our first wedding pictures because they captured the best day of our lives so well! We appreciate Jess and Jose so much and love them for who they are, what they stand for, their work ethic, their charisma, and their ability to walk into a room with humbleness, joy, professionalism, and genuineness! It is hard to find people like Jess and Jose, and we will forever treasure them and brag about them for years to come! They will forever be part of our Sotolongo family, and we will always turn to them to capture the best moments of our lives!

We truly cannot say enough great things about Jess (photography) and Daniel (videography). It's wonderful when you have a team who is professional, fun, patient, and freakin' talented. It was genuinely a joy to work with Jess from start to finish in the entire process. We'd already tickled pink with our sneak peek shots - from beautiful portraits to ridiculous candids, everything is perfectly captured. Thank you so incredibly much for being one of the very best parts of our day!
