Hi, I am Tina Ortiz
Wedding Photography has been my passion for over 25 years.
From Tampa Bay, Florida, I am available Globally I usually pack less for me to wear, so I can carry more camera gear, when I travel. I have more Polaroid film & lenses instead of food & water bottles.
(I can eat on the plane/train/Uber later!)
I have 2 adult babies (one is married, the other not), no grandchildren yet, and we aren't allowed to ask when that will be.

What's it like to work with me and my studio
My Studio's Approach
My team and I take a RELAXED approach to creating EDITORIAL IMAGES for our STYLE-CONSCIOUS couples, built around COLLABORATION and TRUST.
You have your perfect wedding day in mind - and we are there to capture the WARMTH & EMOTION of it all.
Don't worry about following us around with a list.
Because we have already had a logistical consultation, we know who your key players are; and after getting those important group photographs, we can let the rest of your story unfold naturally.
We are professional and friendly; we don't stand on chairs for attention and we don't block anyone's view; we just make sure you are in the right positions to catch the light.
We allow you to be yourselves and really enjoy your time with your friends and family - just like you planned.

My Studio's Creative Process
There is something about Polaroids that enhance your session & event experience.
Think beyond guest books & photo booths. The cameras are used by us, not your guests.
What you receive are Works of Art.
Then we scan them to give you a digital version & then we mail them out to you.
Three things you should know about Polaroids and Instant Prints on your wedding day.
As you know, Tina Ortiz & Bespoken Forever Photography have been adding Polaroids & other brands of instant prints into almost all of our wedding ceremonies & receptions, here in Tampa, Florida. Throughout your event, Tina will find fun & unique moments to capture, often while the couple is unaware.
Polaroids are also available in our portrait sessions, engagement session packages, and especially in your boudoir session!
Please understand that this medium is very susceptible to extreme temperatures & weather conditions. We manage this several ways, but sometimes despite all of the precautions, extra padding or cooling, your photos may develop with different color casts. This is actually quite artistic and everyone loves the finished print event more!
Finally, we want you to be able to share the unique piece of art that you are holding in your hand. So before we mail them all to you, we scan them into a high resolution digital image (for your gallery). Then we can incorporate them into your wedding magazines & albums.
