Tampa Wedding Photographer: Packages & Elopements
Complimentary engagement sessions included with Collections I–III
Thank you for considering me as your Tampa wedding photographer. I know how important it is to find the right person — someone who understands your vision and makes the process feel calm. I photograph weddings and elopements throughout Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Orlando, Sarasota, Lakeland, Ocala, and Naples, in a candid and editorial style that holds onto both the real moments and the beautiful details.
When you book your wedding with me, you'll receive a complimentary consultation where we'll walk through the day. I'll help create a personalized timeline and give you a bridal guide with tips to make the day as smooth as possible. My goal is timeless, high-quality images, and to help you feel confident, cared for, and truly seen.

Wedding collections
Collection I — $2,900 — 3 hours
Coverage for a shorter celebration: the ceremony, family photos, and couple portraits, with a complimentary engagement session.
Collection II — $3,800 — 6 hours
Time for getting-ready moments through the ceremony, portraits, and the start of the reception, plus a complimentary engagement session.
Collection III — $4,800 — 8 hours
A fuller wedding day, from getting ready through the reception, plus a complimentary engagement session.
Every wedding collection includes 300–700 high-resolution edited images (I typically deliver 100–150 images per hour of coverage), a private online gallery, delivery in about 3–4 weeks, sneak peeks within 24–48 hours, and help building your photography timeline. A 20% retainer reserves your date.
Add-ons
• Extra hour: $400
• Second photographer: $650
A second photographer is especially helpful if you and your partner are getting ready in different places. If you're getting ready in the same location, I can sometimes split my time, though that does reduce the time with each of you. We can decide this in your consultation.
Travel fees may apply outside my usual area. I can also build a custom collection if none of these is quite right. Check your date

Video is booked directly with Stardust Films. Their Storybook collection is $2,800 for 6 hours, and Heirloom is $3,200 for 8 hours.
Elopement & Small Weddings

Engagement Photographer Tampa
What is an Engagement Session?
An Engagement session is a portrait session taken a couple of months before the wedding. This session captures the newly engaged couple during this new and exciting time in their lives. Having engagement portraits taken is an amazing way to ease your mind. Once you see your beautiful photos you’ll have a much better idea of what kind of images your engagement photographer can create for you and you will be certain that you will love your wedding photos as well!
An engagement session allows you to meet and spend time with your photographer. Your photographer will be with you for hours on your wedding day, capturing intimate moments and special details and recording one of the most emotional and special day of your life. During the engagement session, it gives you the opportunity to get to know them and it also prepares you to feel more comfortable in front of a camera before your wedding day. Gema’s Photography includes a complimentary engagement session with every wedding package!

FAQs
-
In about 3–4 weeks after the wedding your edited images will be available for viewing in a private online gallery. I usually deliver wedding sneak peeks 24-48hrs after the wedding.
-
For my wedding galleries, I usually edit and deliver 100-150 images per hour of coverage.
-
I do not provide RAW images. I believe in delivering a finished product and shoot with the end product in mind. RAW images need to be edited for a final product and any editing that is not my own is not permitted, because the files would no longer reflect my work.
-
I accept all major forms of payments, whatever is easiest for you! You may also pay in installments. When you are ready to book contact me and we can set up a payment plan.
-
Yes. I have public liability insurance, this is a requirement by most wedding venues. I am happy to provide a copy to your venue if needed.
-
Yes I do, but it depends.
A second photographer is essential if you’d like groom as well as bridal prep photos if you’re both getting ready at different locations.
However, if you are both getting ready at the same location I may be able to split my time between the bridal preparation photography and the groom prep. It’s important to remember that any time taken with groom preparation photography will reduce the amount of time available for bridal prep. We would need to discuss this during your wedding consultation.

Yes, I can create a customized wedding package depending on your needs. Please contact me for more information.

Absolutely! Contact me and ask to view a full wedding gallery and I'd be happy to provide full galleries for you to view.
