Angelita Esparar Photography, Jacksonville FL

Angel was absolutely amazing! She helped capture all of the magical memories of the night and she was so much fun to work with. She was great at giving direction to capture the perfect picture and she has a wonderful artistry with her photographs. I even got help picking up my dress as we walked to different spots (it was super long)! It was truly an enchanted evening and looking back at all these pictures and reliving the night is something I'm grateful for. Thank you Angel!

My husband and I got married in February 2023 and we could not have been more excited to have Angelita as our photographer. Her photos are amazing, she is amazing, and she made us feel so comfortable taking our photos. They came out more beautiful than I even expected And she got them back to us very fast! I would 1000 out of 10 recommend her to anybody needing a photographer! She is definitely the go to wedding photographer in the Jacksonville in Saint Augustine area!

Angel is truly a master of her craft- her photos are pure art. We had the honor of Angel taking our engagement and wedding photos, and they are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen! Everything about them is just gorgeous and dreamy and so sweet. She has an incredible eye for getting the most beautiful shots, and capturing what makes each couple unique.

Photography of our wedding day was extremely important to us because we figured it’s the only tangible we have to remember everything by once the wedding is over, and Angel blew our expectations away. She made sure to understand everything we wanted to get out of our photos, is very organized, and executed flawlessly. We aren’t that comfortable in front of the camera, however Angel’s sunshiney personality put us at ease immediately and it felt like we were hanging out with a best friend. She genuinely shared in the joy of our most special day with us, and we had so much fun with her.

Angel is so creative with finding great spots to take photos in, so we have an amazing variety of photos. I simply can’t pick which to print, because they are all incredible! Angel captured photos of special moments I had not even considered prior to our wedding, so getting to see photos of those sweet little moments is very special.

Looking at these photos brings us right back to our wedding day with all of the vibrancy and celebration that we felt, and we are endlessly grateful to her! We will treasure these photos forever and are so happy we had Angel there to document our very special day. Thank you, Angel!

Angelita is the BEST of the BEST! If you are looking for an engagement or wedding photographer, this is the lady for you. It is such a joy working with Angel and has been such a smooth process from our consultation, to our booking, to having our engagement shoot. I can’t wait to work with her for our wedding as well!

I asked to shoot a gazillion locations for our engagement photos, and she made it happen!

Angel has such a talent and passion for what she does, and it shows up in her work. You definitely won’t regret booking her for your biggest life event. I can’t wait to update this review after our wedding and share more of the amazing work that she does with the world!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Angel for our engagement and wedding photos this year. I am a wedding photographer myself, so I already knew exactly what style of photography I was looking for, and I’ll even admit that wedding photographers are not always the best/easiest clients. We booked our wedding at the Lightner Museum shortly after getting engaged, and I knew that I wanted to book our photographer as soon as possible. Lightner constantly posts photos by Angel - it looked like she photographed there all the time! I was completely blown away when I saw her photos online. When Angel said she was available for our wedding date, I felt like I won the lottery.

From our first conversation with Angel, we knew we were in great hands with her laid back personality and confidence. Angel is not only extremely talented, she is also very knowledgeable about lighting and technique - which is so SO important in this industry when lighting can change at a moment’s notice and you can’t redo your wedding day. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she will fix your fly away hairs or make sure to always highlight your “good side” ;) We were blessed with beautiful Florida weather on our wedding day, but I am confident that she could make even a stormy afternoon look stunning. Angel’s photography style is timeless - Even in fifty years we’ll look back and continue to love our wedding photos and laugh at all the candids. These are the kind of fine art photos that you can print and hang all over your home as art.

Angel is such a sweet and genuine person. It’s been so nice to get to know her a little bit more, and I find myself smiling at photos of her son and her dog when she shares glimpses of her personal life online. On our wedding day, it felt like Angel was a loving family member taking our photos - she and her assistant Mai managed to capture every single special moment without “taking us away” from those moments. What I especially appreciated was that despite the fact that she often photographs weddings at Lightner, Angel always works with passion and challenges herself to try new things.

If you need a wedding photographer, you NEED to hire Angel! Destination weddings, elopements, unique engagement sessions, elegant Museum weddings - she can do it all.

I will try my best to put into words just how AMAZING Angel is, but truthfully, I can’t say enough to express my gratitude towards her and her services. As a bride, you are overwhelmed with all things wedding. We had a zoom call to chat with Angel about our vision. From the initial call, we could tell that Angel such a genuine and kind person, with a true passion for her work. Angel was an easy choice from the beginning! Prior to our wedding, Angel created a detailed timeline of wedding day. I shared with our videographer, who had major compliments on the detailed timeline! On wedding day, Angel came early to photograph details. She provides a kind and calm presence during stressful times. Not to mention, Angel was so prompt in delivering photos and teasers! Again, I can’t thank her enough for what she did for us. Our wedding photos came out like a fairytale and we are forever grateful to her for capturing our most special day

There aren't enough stars here to give Angel! She knew what was important to us and made sure to capture every moment of our wedding day. She was so organized, efficient, and communicative before and during the day. Her work is UNBELIEVABLE and she had the finished products to us way faster than I expected. She was the first vendor I booked and I am so glad that I did!

If you’re still looking, stop looking. I’m dead serious. Angel was not only the sweetest but she is so TALENTED. She captured everything so perfect on our wedding day. Looking back at the photos I just want to do it all over again. She does such an amazing job. My husband and I both agree we could not have found a better person to capture our wedding day. Thank you Angel!

I highly recommend Angelita to capture your perfect day! She is prompt, professional and very informative. She helped me with our timeline as I did not hire a wedding planner and our day went so smooth because of it. She is so sweet and knows how to capture pictures that are in the moment and magical. She was reccomened by our venue and the moment I saw some of her pictures I knew we had to meet her. We received our engagement photos back so quickly and we knew instantly we had to have her for the wedding. We still get compliments on how beautiful our photos turned out and it’s a big thank you to Angelita. We will always cherish these photos of our special day.

Angelita was a dream to work with. She is the sweetest, most understanding, and talented photographer! She honestly makes things go so incredibly smoothly. Very organized, communicative, and knows how to meet expectations. She captured everything I wanted in photos for my wedding, and then some. Each photo was beautiful, and every one who saw them wanted to know who did them! I am so so so happy I went with Angelita. We will be continuing to use her for all of our photo needs! 10+ stars!

I cannot say enough good things about Angel. From initial meeting over the phone to emails asking for edits on our wedding photos, she is so professional, responds so quickly, friendly and just has the best wedding day energy. My husband and I were so happy we hired her. We commented the whole day on how good she is!
I did not hire a wedding planner for my wedding and Angel helped me create a timelime that flowed so well and included photos during golden hour. Ask her opinion! She is so respectful that everyone wants different things during their wedding day, but when asked she has so much experience that her suggestions are everything. She knows weddings!
I was a little nervous about not meeting her until our wedding day, but she felt like a close friend by the end of the day. My hair and makeup were taking a little longer than expected and she quickly made the best use of time- shooting my husband first and we were able to get all of the shots we wanted during first looks. It rained most of my wedding day and she already had alternatives on places to shoot and aware of how the light looked at all times. She is so attentive to detail and family pictures turned out amazing. She jumped in to fix details like awkward hand placements or off center ties. Her attention to detail is amazing and exactly what I was looking for in a photographer. Someone who could make formal family photos look effortless, candid photos that captured the emotions of the day, and beautiful pictures as a couple that will make you look like models. She gives amazing direction on how to pose, walk, look back, etc to get the best looking shots and it makes things go quickly so you can get back to enjoying your guests. She is aware of her surroundings and which backgrounds and elements in the landscape will look beautiful.
I love "the look" of her light and airy photos. My family has all commented on how beautiful they are. Her edits and eye are truly amazing. Every photo is as beautiful as the next. My only regret is that I didn't hire her to stay till our exit. Family photos just don't compare. I 100% recommend her and hope to use her again in the future. Thank you so much, Angel! We will cherish these pictures forever.

Angelita is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer, artist, and professional I have had the pleasure to work with! My husband and I were married September 10,2022 at the Treasury on the Plaza. The most important thing I feel I should lead with is while she was on a couple list provided to us, we had no other point of reference or recommendation as to who we went with for our wedding photographer. She happened to be the first one we interviewed with. Angelita was amazing both times we spoke to her, very attentive and detail oriented. She was the second vendor we hired after booking the Treasury and we hired her almost a full year in advance of our wedding. The other important item to note is I am very uncomfortable in front of the camera and am not photogenic at all. Our big day came and the photos were just the most amazing thing I have ever seen. She is so much more than five stars and I am going to be putting this review everywhere I can. I know how scary picking a photographer can feel, especially for the cost of a quality professional. I can 100% confidently recommend her and could not be more grateful to her for how she captured the greatest day of my life. Those pictures are truly second only to the actual day its self.
