HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!
WHAT:
Effective 2012, JohnPaul will only be photographing 10-12 weddings a year! We will have other highly qualified photographers from our team available with similar styles and will certainly deliver the Photography by JohnPaul Studio quality everyone has come to know and trust for the weddings in which JohnPaul has not been booked for.
WHY:
JohnPaul is involved in a huge new project that we will be announcing in mid 2011 and launching in 2012. This project will take up an enormous amount of his time and because we certainly do not want to diminish the amazing customer service our studio is known for, we will be limiting the amount of weddings he personally does to ensure continued top quality and attention to those customers!
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN:
For those booking in 2011 .. you’re still in luck and if your date is available, JohnPaul will be at your wedding. For those booking in 2012 .. hurry and make sure to book as soon as you set your date, to ensure JohnPaul will be there… once we hit 10-12 weddings, his book will be closed.
SPECIAL THANKS:
Thank you to all our customers and friends…. this entire experience has been quite humbling and I am very honored and proud to have so many supporters and current and future customers that love my art so much, they keep up with our work and our lives. It’s because of my true love and passion for photography that I am closing off my calendar after 10-12 weddings in 2012 and beyond…. because I want to continue to make each and every one of my customers feel the way I make my current customers feel… as though they are my top priority and my friends. Thank you all again and stay tuned for latest project announcements! - J.P.
STAY TUNED:
In September we will be doing something a little different… as some of you know we will be heading to Paris for a couple of photo shoots, one of which we will be utilizing for a new project (yes, I know, another project…lol) but for this project, we have creative differences (between me and JohnPaul) so how are we going to resolve these creative differences … we are going to post both ideas and let you … our trusty blog followers, choose the idea you like best! Details to come in September, so stay tuned!!
- AHHHHH I can't wait to see the Paris pictures!!!! Almost as much as my Wedding ones ;) lol (9 more days!) And Post your ideas & then I'll help settle this debate you guys have going!September 2, 2010 - 8:28 pm
- My Dear Friend John: Wifey always wins, even if your 100% right and you have back up to proove it, she will always be right. I'm siding with you because you are my boy, but Elizabeth will win (LOL). Best of luck in Paris and your new endeavour project in 2012. Your new name then will be "Mr. Exclusive" -PaulSeptember 2, 2010 - 7:51 am
- EEEEEE!!!! I'm so excited for you guys!!!! I can't wait to hear what the big project is.... oh... and regarding those creative differences.... am I allowed to vote for Ely before I know what her idea is?!?!? KIDDING!!!!! :-)September 2, 2010 - 1:56 am
Annie & Jazz’s E Session
Annie and Jazz are a great couple… for their E Session, they wanted a good variety and mix of a little urban, a little fun and a little sexy … we aim to please! Check out a sneak peak of some of their images …. you’ll be seeing them on the blog again real soon … their wedding is in t minus 17 days. Looking forward to their big day!!!
- You guys are AMAZING! A total blast to work with. I cant tell you how much we love these pictures! PS. 17 DAYS!August 25, 2010 - 6:13 am
- They came out amazing... Ilove itAugust 24, 2010 - 11:21 pm
Jessica and Alex say “I Do”
Jessica and Alex had a beautiful ceremony and wedding at the Bank of America Building in downtown…. While we were packing up to head to the hotel, what appeared to be a monsoon was happening, all I kept thinking was “oh no” because her ceremony was outdoors…. Well it appeared that mother nature was on their side…. it did not rain in Downtown and the show went on as planned! Jessica looked beautiful and Alex was so calm (usually grooms are a little nervous, but not Alex). Because of time constraints and it being a little hot outdoors there was not as much time as we would have liked to photograph this amazing couple, but stay tuned for a “Day After” Shoot.
- I love them!! I can't wait to see them all! Thank you for everything you guys have done for us you truly are the best photographers!!August 27, 2010 - 6:48 pm
- Gorgeous photos!August 25, 2010 - 5:45 pm
Danielle & Michael’s Day After Shoot!!
Well Danielle and Michael had beautiful images from their wedding day, but we did not have nearly enough time for all that we had planned, so they did what most couples are opting to do … a Day After Shoot… now remember this does not need to be the Day After your wedding (Danielle and Michael got married in June). So we had a GREAT time with them …. we almost got shot at with a pellet gun in downtown, we had lots of fun with baby powder and JohnPaul and I even became God parents to their new little kitty Cleo (a sweet little kitten we found in downtown) that they decided to rescue (thank God, cause I was totally going to take it home and then JP would have divorced me had a brought another cat home… we already have 2 kitties, Missy and Tinkerbell and our mini doxie, Daisy) Overall, we had a wonderful time… but most importantly of all the images are SICK!!! Check them out and don’t forget to book your Day After Shoot today!!!
Past, Present and Future Cocktail Party Time!!!
Mark your calendars for our next Past, Present and Future Cocktail party on Saturday, August 28th at 7 pm at our studio. Fr those of you who have not been to our previous events, we have these Past, Present and Future Cocktail Parties to give our previous and current customers the chance to check out our latest products and give the chance to the New potential clients to come in and speak with previous clients and really learn first hand from people that have worked with us in the past how wonderful we are (and modest…lol) Not to mention it’s a great way to hang out with what we feel are the best clients on the planet with good music, food and drinks! RSVP today via email to Elizabeth@JohnPaulSoto.com See you soon!!!!!!!
Tara & Carlos say I Do
Check out just a sneak peak of this great couple on their big day! Due to confidentiality issues of certain members of this great wedding, we are only able to post a few photos…. but these few are Amazing! This wedding was just as fabulous as this GREAT couple …. they even had their mini-dookie Lindo attend with top hat and tux… so cute!
Kelly & Chris’ Day After / Trash the Dress Shoot
Kelly and Chris had given JohnPaul lots of time during their wedding, but they have so much fun taking photos, they knew they wanted to do a “Day After” / “Trash the Dress” shoot … not to mention Kelly wanted to get wet… so we made sure they got wet… LOL. People sometimes ask me how we get inspiration for shoots…. sometimes we brain storm with the couple to get ideas and other times (like this time) we get inspiration from fashion magazines…. I saw an ad with fire and since Chris is a firefighter, we wanted to incorporate the element of fire into a photo… having been in a area with junk, we took advantage of a mattress and set it on fire…. we couldn’t make the fire go too crazy, since there were a lot of trees and bushes around… but we think image looks pretty sick! BOOK YOUR SHOOT TODAY… C’MON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!
- Love the shots of Kelly and Chris with the enormous tires. Just the anticipation of getting black rubber marks on that gorgeous dress add significantly to the mood of the photos! Love them all!July 26, 2010 - 12:49 pm
- What can I say other than spectacular ! You guys are the BOMB ! How the hell am I suppose to choose from every beautiful shot. Como dicemos los Cubano's "Te lo comiste"July 26, 2010 - 7:58 am
- What can I say Johnpaul YOU are the BEST:) Can't wait to see the rest!!!!!July 25, 2010 - 5:01 pm
Amber’s Quince Shoot!
Well, by looking at these photos you would never guess that Amber is shy…. well according to mom she is! Amber did such an AMAZING job during the shoot and was a trooper the entire time. What we did with Amber that we do with all of our customers is make her feel comfortable and we made sure she had lots of fun in the shoot. From strutting her stuff like she was on America’s Next Top model, to making her laugh with whoohaa comments (lol), to having her give us “the eyebrow”…. Amber is the only other person I know, other then me (Elizabeth) that can turn on the eyebrow look on command. We had a blast with Amber on her shoot and are looking forward to her big birthday bash in September!
- WOW...Amber looks like a Princess, John is a great photographer! I will consider him for my next party or special photo shot of Priscilla! Excellent work...congrats!July 30, 2010 - 4:02 am
- Amazing! I love all these pictures! They are so pretty! You guys are GREAT!July 26, 2010 - 9:00 pm
- OMG!!! You guys did an amazing job my beba looks beautiful. Thank u John & Elizabeth!!!!July 25, 2010 - 11:20 pm
Ely and Max Say “I Do”!
Like most couples Ely and Max planned their extraordinary day and looked forward to it being the happiest day of their life. The 24 hours before their big day they had a lot of unexpected surprises, but everything turned out beautifully! Despite the surprises this wonderful couple celebrated their love with their family and friends and a lot of amazing things… like the grooms ring that actually moves, a canon of confetti after the ceremony and even a jump in the pool after the reception was over!!!
- The Bride is absolutely Stunning, May god bless the Union.August 12, 2010 - 7:24 pm
- Thank you for making the best of the worst possible situation. You guys were great.August 9, 2010 - 3:54 pm

Danielle and Michael’s BIG DAY!!!!
Danielle and Michael’s wedding day was perfect. The day was said to be cloudy with 50% showers…. but it could not have been any more beautiful! While shooting the getting ready shots, I (Elizabeth) went to photograph Michael getting ready and to get the rings from him… well not only did I get to see Danielle’s surprise (of a gorgeous wedding band that she was not aware of) I sat in during his video interview with Free Mind Studios and what he said was so beautiful, I was squirting tears! The ceremony was gorgeous and the look on Danielle’s face when she saw the wedding band was priceless (we did not include that photo below… there too many amazing images to choose from). The party was fabulous with the beautiful decor and flowers done by Vivian Colls. The party even had a special appearance by Baby Carlos… a doll that apparently was the chaperone during Michael’s bachelor party! The night was memorable and we were very honored to be a part of it. We’re looking forward to their Day After shoot! Hope you guys had fun in Mexico! xoxo
- Amazing photos!!!! It was a pleasure working with you, guys!!!!June 28, 2010 - 7:00 am
Check out the renovated Studio
We’ve been at our current studio for the past two years…. we decided to make some changes and make sure that our lobby area, matches the style of our photography. Very chic, modern, fun and sophisticated. With the help of one of our previous couples, Katie and Ruben, who own an amazing design firm (Errez Design) our vision came to life. Below are some images of our meeting area, album bar and our wall of art. If you haven’t stop by, make sure to contact us to see if for yourself.
Alicyn & Jon’s E Session in the Bahamas!!
For those of you who frequent our blog, you know that when we travel, we always post on our blog upcoming dates should anyone be interested in joining us to be able to take amazing photos (E Session, Trash the Dress or Day After shoots) somewhere other then South Florida. Alicyn and Jon took advantage of this and joined us in the Bahamas! We had such a great time with them! We had adventure after adventure from getting use to driving on the wrong side of the road (and frequesntly forgetting!) to driving around in a tiny car called a Cheri QQ (when we rented it, they asked how many people was the car for and we said four… when they asked how big the people were, we knew we were in for a treat!) We even had a psychotic cab driver, who was very open about not so nice things he had done…. ooooohhhh the stories we can tell.. LOL! But amongst all the fun… we also took some very amazing photos, including underwater images! If you are interested in your shoot being a destination shoot, contact us about upcoming dates and details!

- The pictures are fantastic. Looking at your blog, i figured our pictures would be great, but i didn't imagine they would come out this amazing! The only thing missing is a picture of our crazy cab driver, but i'm sure he's on the news somewhere! Thanks guys!June 18, 2010 - 8:51 pm
- The pictures came out amazing!!! You guys are the best!! We couldn't have had a better time doing the shoot, you both made it so easy and fun! Thanks for everything =).June 18, 2010 - 7:25 am
