Hey hey! My name is Janel, and I'm a Documentary, Candid, Modern, Artistic Engagement, Elopement & Wedding Photographer based out of Tampa, FL. and Worldwide.
Your love story is not only important to you, but also very important to me too. As your photographer, I focus on the soul of the moment, all while tying in a beautiful composition of where it's taking place. It's a priority of mine to capture the love, the laughter, the tears, and everything in between; because one day, your children & future generations will want to know where it all began, and sometimes, a photograph is all you have to take you right back to where it all did.
Let's create together!
treasuring true love + connection.

JHP wouldn't be what it is without my husband! If you choose to have a 2nd shooter, analog film, or drone photos for your best day, it's him 95% of the time! Together, we plan timelines, shot lists, & location logistics to ensure your day is easy peasy lemon squeezayyy! Trust, with a Taurus & Virgo in your corner, you can rest assure, things will be in order, clean & crisp! Haha! Aside from the many weddings we document, we also had our wedding 2024, & love to be able to relate with our couples during the wedding planning!
When we're not having fun at weddings, you will more than likely catch us resting at home with our puppy boys watching every reality show that exists! Give us all the 90 Day Fiance (& the spin off's), Jersey Shore, & Love On The Spectrum! We also love being with family, friends, watching sunsets on the beach, being outdoors, traveling, & dressing up for new places!
We love God, great music, great art, great food, and even better people! We're so excited to create with you & celebrate you!!

I’ve been in the photo game since 2012, and specializing in couples since 2017! Why did I start specializing in couples? because I’m addicted to love + everything about it. Before wedding photography, I was a wedding singer for 11 years, and also a writer of poetry, so choosing to specialize in love was a given ! I’m a wife, believer in God, a pup parent, Cuban, a Taurus, a jokester + an empath that loves with all of her heart. It really doesn’t take much to make me smile + I’ll always be the one doing the most to make anyone laugh. I love the smallest details in everything, & love being extra about everything! if you love God, music, photography, laughing, dancing, tacos, animals, butterflies, nature, The Office, Sex In The City, Crime Documentaries, tacos, food, karaoke, NY, sunflowers, basketball, football, long boarding, bike riding, tik tok, fall through winter, Justin Timberlake, 1930’s, The Notebook, art, long walks in Manhattan, sunsets, coffee shops, or anything really, just know, you not only have a photographer, but you also got a friend in meee!

JHP Approach
Candid, cinematic & documentary; the soul & story of the moment. Moments like getting prepared early in the morning, dew on the windows, coffee brewing, calling your friends to tell them all of the details, the excitement, the anxiety, & the love that makes your day unique. I observe for the beauty in everything, including the imperfect, ordinary, intimacy, and authenticity to truly be able to feel the emotion in the image just by looking at it. I love adventure & out of the ordinary places! Trust me, if you want to hike up a mountain just to get that shot, I'll pack my hiking boots without asking twice! I'm always going location hunting for spectacular views & vibes no matter where you choose! The passion, magic, and unbreakable connection that love brews is always what I strive to capture. I love having fun, and always making sure you feel as comfortable & relaxed as possible! Hand me the mess of your day & I'll take care of the rest, I promise!!
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with?”
– Meet Joe Black
I'm a feeler of emotions, and I absolutely love everything about what love stands for. I'm also a lover of people. and care for my couples the same way I would for myself. Love is such a gift and I firmly believe, that no matter what your love looks like, it's a treasure, & your story deserves to be told.
