Having Ariel and Bige as our photographers/videographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!
What really set them apart was their ability to make us feel comfortable and natural. They both have such an incredibly calming and friendly presence which truly made all the difference.
I'm typically not the biggest fan of being in front of a camera, but they made it genuinely enjoyable. The quality of the photos and videos are absolutely incredible!! We love every single photo in our album (and there are tons).
They documented our day flawlessly from start to finish, from getting ready to the sparkler exit! What stands out most when we look at our photos and videos is the feeling that we are reliving the best day of our lives, all over again. Before our wedding we didn't even realize how important this would be to us. Your wedding day flies by and it's so wonderful to have each part of it captured. We are eternally grateful for the memories they have preserved for us and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

I wish I could pick all the above options! Ariel and her husbsnd were amazing on our wedding day, even considering we booked them on a Wednesday for my Friday wedding after my photographer had to go to the ER! Very nice people and the amount we paid was well worth it for the two of them! The preview photos are gorgeous I cant wait to see the rest! 200% recommend!

Amazing!! We (as in myself specifically) wanted to do a couples shoot during our honeymoon and even though I inquired pretty last second Ariel was very quick to respond. Her and her husband are really friendly, they put us at ease and gave us great direction throughout the shoot. I was blown away at how gorgeous the shots turned out and she had an incredibly quick turnaround time as well. I cannot thank or recommend them enough and I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

Ariel and Bige are a super team! They're professional and knew exactly what we were looking for in the shoot session. They were very enthusiastic in their craft while clicking pics and guiding us through different poses. They made sure we felt comfortable and kept showing us previews of the pics they clicked of us, which were awesome by the way, and I am sure of the final batch of pics to be that way as well.
Another reason for our good impression of them is the ease of communication that was maintained. We are a couple recently engaged and we had a few picture examples of what style of pictures we were looking for. Ariel helped us with a list of locations in and around Jacksonville, from which we picked one that suited our expectation. They were artistic, jovial, easy to talk to and professional, which was perfectly everything we were looking for.
I would definitely recommend them.

If you need a wedding photography and are in the greater Orlando area you need to choose Ariel and Bige, so first of all, look no further.
I was going to wait until the wedding to do this review, but the mini engagement session they gave us was so out of this world that I could not wait.
First, their responsiveness was great. They contacted me and reached out to me with prompt responses, we were able to set up dates to meet and do a “small” engagement session (which To us was like a gift!).
Second, They are very professional and organized. They want to make sure all of your needs are met on your wedding day and they set certain guidelines so that everyone is on the same page.
Third, please heir price is basically a gift! When I started my search I wanted to work with someone that was staring up because I had a tight budget and for the longest I was going to compromise on having a photographer. I not only got one, but TWO amazing photographers.
I’m soooo happy with their chemistry, the four of us clicked and we had so much fun. I’m convinced that we chose them for an amazing, purposeful reason!
The end result of Only a small part of their work is what I added to this review. WE LOVED IT. They captured me and James like never before. James is an introvert, and he was comfortable and at ease. They envisioned everything I had in mind and more. We cannot wait until the wedding, and to be able to have this memories last forever.
Thank you First & Port photography, you guys are out of this world!
