INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE TO HEAR BACK FROM ME THE QUICKEST! I feel the most at home on the road less traveled. Being close & personal, all up in your business, and forming all the pieces that make you who you are into those bits of magic worth remembering. I’m all about actively creating a trusting space for you to express your love to each other with no fear of judgment. Getting your photo taken requires you to strip down some barriers and be vulnerable with me. For some people, that’s a really big ask and I want you to know I never ask it lightly. I’m intentional with you and your loved ones to ensure everyone has a rad experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I tell you that I’ve never had this much fun in front of a camera, I mean it. I decided to do a photo shoot because I had been having a lot of body image issues and I wanted something to help me feel like myself. I was so nervous about it and about how I would look but, Destiny made this an all around positive experience and I (and my mental health) am so grateful. Destiny is professional, has an outstanding vision, is amazingly patient, and incredibly kind. Everything leading up to the shoot was so smooth. Destiny provided options and feedback that made it incredibly easy to pick locations and outfits for the shoot. She responded so fast and with incredible detail. I was so grateful as this was my first time ever doing anything like this. I was so nervous the day of and during the first few minutes of the shoot, but Destiny knew that and helped me work through it by taking a bit more control, but as I eased up, so did she. I felt like I could fully be myself and do what I wanted and liked. She never pushed me and I felt incredibly taken care of and comfortable after the nerves were gone. She hyped me up and made me smile! I was so happy! Destiny is incredibly thoughtful and is willing to do what is best to work with you to get the best shots possible. If you’re looking for someone who will take you through the process step by step and who will help you make decision, then I recommend Destiny without hesitation. The photos look amazing and she is very clear about time lines for when you will get your pictures back. Everything was incredibly easy to navigate and I am so grateful to have worked with Destiny. Thank you for making me see myself with more love and kindness.

When our original photographer had to cancel at the last minute, Sara was quick to jump in, schedule for our wedding, and make the entire process as easy as possible. She was incredibly kind and friendly to everyone involved in our wedding, and could not have been easier to work with. Sara is simply the best, and we are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Heather and her team are absolutely FANTASTIC! We hired her for our engagement photos and wedding and we are so happy! She is so organized, excellent at keeping everyone moving, and her photography and editing is incredible. She creates shots that I never could have imagined and directs tiny details while also allowing for candid moments. She was with us all day for our wedding and always was ready to capture us or people around us. When she walks into a room you can see her mind working to scope out the perfect spot and it is so incredible to watch. She is truly an artist and made us feel so special and comfortable on our wedding day and engagement photoshoot. We felt like we were in a magazine the way she edits the photos and captures everything. Highly recommend and will book her again for all of our big moments!

Oh... hello. You made it. That's nice. This won't take long, if you poke around a bit you'll probably find what you're looking for. There are some photos, some words... and hopefully they help you decide if I'm the right person to document your wedding. I like to photograph moments that happen naturally, without too much fuss. If you're into that-if you're ok with a little wind in your hair, or a cake that leans slightly to the left-then maybe we'd get along just fine.

Sweet Lime Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very start, Loy was direct, concise, and thoroughly professional in their communication style. Their work is truly eclectic, with a focus on capturing the "real moments" of our special day. Loy was incredibly patient, even when I lost our wedding vows and my husband took the blame - Loy was quick to provide photographic evidence of me holding them as we walked back! On the day of the wedding, Loy even went above and beyond, completely redoing our photo setup from indoors to outdoors while I was busy getting ready, which was a huge help since I wouldn't have had the time to do it myself. We are thrilled with the quality and value of the photos from Sweet Lime Photography, and we highly recommend him to any couple planning their wedding.

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

From the moment we met Erika and Loy for our engagement shoot, we knew we had found something special. They made two self-proclaimed awkward people feel totally at ease in front of the camera. It didn’t feel like posing—it felt like laughing, dancing, and being fully ourselves, all while they worked their magic. The photos captured not just how we looked, but who we are. We walked away from that session with more than beautiful images—we walked away with memories. Fast forward to our wedding day, and they absolutely blew us away. Our friends and family keep raving about the photos: “absolutely stunning,” “so artsy,” “journalistic,” “soulful,” and “hilarious and beautiful at the same time.” The photos brought the emotion of the day flooding back—joy, intimacy, hilarity, and everything in between. Every little detail, every fleeting look, every big, beautiful moment—it’s all there. They somehow captured the energy of the day, not just the visuals. We’ve gone through the gallery more times than we can count, and each time we see something new to love. From my dad’s emotional first look to the spontaneous dance floor chaos to those quiet moments between us in Adirondack chairs—it’s all so genuine and full of heart. Working with Erika and Loy wasn’t just hiring photographers—it was inviting two incredibly talented, kind, and charismatic humans into some of the most important moments of our lives. We can’t imagine having had anyone else there with us. If you’re considering them—do it. Truly, 10 out of 10.

She helped keep forward momentum through the whole night when everything was just a joyful blur I was lost in. When an issue arose with the second photographer, she found a solution before we even knew of the problem. She was such an incredible asset throughout the entire experience. On top of that, our photos came out incredible. She captured the feeling of the wedding. So many touching moments, celebrations, and Justin and I have never looked better. I’m obsessed. I can’t rave enough about how incredible Marissa is. I could not imagine our wedding without her, you shouldn’t either. 100000/100 highly recommend

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Hiring Adam as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we did our engagement shoot, we knew we were in great hands — but when we saw our wedding photos, we were completely blown away. He captured every moment so perfectly, so effortlessly, and with such an artistic eye that we’ll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. What truly makes Adam exceptional is that he’s so much more than a photographer. He takes the time to listen to you, understand what matters most, and he shows up with the kind of passion and care that feels rare these days. He made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and blended in so seamlessly on our wedding day — capturing candid, emotional, and stunning shots without ever being intrusive. The fact that Adam is a one-man show is honestly unbelievable. He does it all — and does it flawlessly. His professionalism, attention to detail, and turnaround time were incredible. And on top of all that, his pricing is more than fair for the incredible quality he delivers. We’ve had countless friends and family members rave about our photos and ask who our photographer was — and we’re always so proud to recommend Adam. If you want someone who truly cares about your story and will give you timeless, breathtaking memories, look no further. Adam is the one.

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei was so attentive to what we wanted our big day to look like. She was the coordinator the day of our wedding and I don’t know that I could have found anyone better to ensure my vision was kept and everything ran smoothly.

We loved working with Chelsea and Jack. The style of their photos was what we wanted—classic, timeless, natural and true to color. They were a joy to be around and while present, seemed to fade into the background, allowing us to be together and in the moment. However, we both felt like they became friends throughout the day. She sent us a sneak peak while we were on our honeymoon and we can’t wait to see more!

We began as a concession company providing cotton candy at sporting events. In the fall of 2021, we extended our brand by starting our own manufacturing plant. Sweet Buckets was born as an option for customers and businesses to purchase Cotton Candy and Gourmet popcorns direct from our company.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding reception at a brewery and wanted some easy to eat sweet and salty snacks. These popcorn flavors were delicious, they sent us flavors to try before we decided. We chose 4 flavors and they shipped them right to our house. The popcorn buckets had our cute custom labels which they designed for us and looked PERFECT! We had tons of compliments on the popcorn. We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

Rigg & Co. were the perfect photographer for our wedding day!! She made the entire process of selecting the perfect wedding package and planning our wedding day seamless, putting us completely at ease. Her energy and passion for her work shine through the entire process and are reflected in the photos!! The quality of their work was more than we could have imagined - she was incredibly detail-oriented and captured all the small, special moments that we'll treasure forever. Kate, fit right in with everyone and kept us smiling all day with her jokes and throughout our photos. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and I couldn't have imagined a better photographer. I would recommend Rigg & Co. to anyone, and I can't wait to work with her again in the future.
