Amber & James married on Key West Beach | Key West Wedding Photographer

Bride and groom kiss under the veil on Smather's beach in Key West, FL

Amber & James…

had their sweet and short wedding ceremony at Smather’s Beach here in Key West followed by a dinner at Sheraton Suites. Only 16 people attended their beach ceremony and that made their big day much easier for everyone. Weather was breezy but hot and we had a tropical storm pass us that week so the sunset was super dramatic, probably the best that month. Below is few photos from their day.

We had a great time during our session with Filip and our pictures turned out amazing! Filip kept things light and... allowed us to be ourselves, which really showed through in the final outcome. His recommendation on location was spot on. We had a group of 10, ranging in ages from 2-70 and everyone agreed it was well worth it. I would highly recommend booking with Filip if you are looking for professional photographs to commemorate your time in Key West!read more

We are so happy we chose Filip to be our wedding photographer!! He worked with us to customize a package that fit our... needs. Being that we were having a destination wedding, we had never met him prior to our wedding day. Both him and his second shooter were so awesome and made us feel so comfortable and not awkward in front of the camera. And most importantly, the photos we got back were incredible! He has such a unique style and is really able to capture the joy of the day. Thank you Filip!read more

We went on a family vacation to key West and I decided to book a photographer in the area to capture memories of our... family! I found Filda Photography on instagram, sent an email asking for rates, the response was so fast and our communication was so smooth. On the day of the Photoshoot he arrived on time, he was polite, and the best part, made my kids laugh ha! The whole session went to smooth that we didn’t even see time pass! He captured exactly what I had in mind and even the poses that I asked him to capture came to life the way I imagined. I would book with him again and I recommend his work!read more

We had a great time during our maternity session. The photo outcome was even better! Filip made us comfortable (when we... are super awkward picture subjects) and had expertise when suggesting movements and poses. What I love about his photography is how candid and natural we look. Thank you Filip for your time and beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever!read more

Filip is an amazing photographer. We booked him for a Babymoon shoot while vacationing in Key West and we couldn't be... happier. It was our first time in Key West and had no idea where the best scenic spots were so we needed a very experienced and trusted photographer. Our photos are amazing and beautiful, the best we have ever taken as a couple. I cannot wait to share these photos with our family and our babygirl.I highly recommend Filda Konec Photography!read more

Filda is an amazing photographer! Communication was great before, during, and after our session. Filda was very... professional throughout the entire photo session and helped entertain our 7-year-old when she wanted to shy away from the camera. I have received many compliments from our photos. I highly recommend Filda Photography!read more

Filip is phenomenal to work with. He is patient, kind and thorough. I appreciate the time he took to chat with my... daughters and put them at ease for our early morning session. It's a busy time of year for photographers in Key West and not only did he allow us to book week or two before our session, he was also flexible when a travel delay forced us to reschedule for later in our visit. I highly recommend working with him, and love the passion he brings to his art.read more

We got married this past April in Key West (First Flight), and our pictures turned out perfect! Filip is super laid... back and great to work with. He knows the Key West area well, which was awesome since we were planning a wedding from out of state. He has a few packages available, so you can definitely keep photos budget friendly and still expect beautiful photos no matter what you choose. So glad to have you hang with us and our guests capturing the day!read more

My husband and I traveled from PA to get married in Key West. We chose Filip because we loved his work and the emotion... and story you get from one photograph and such real and raw images. He made us feel welcome and we laughed and enjoyed our time. The best photographer in Key West, we highly recommend!read more

If you ever need a photographer in Key West, I highly recommend Filip! He went above and beyond to make our proposal... memorable. He did an amazing job, was extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. His communication was great, which made the planning as easy as possible. I could not say enough good things about him!read more

While in Key West we hired Filip to take some family photos for us, and boy he did not disappoint. He was amazing to... work with! We have 3 boys under 5 and he got some amazing shots. He came well prepared with fun toys and an amazing charismatic attitude, that just drew them right in. My boys had so much fun playing and chasing after him that all of our photos have genuine smiles. The photo gallery was sent to me before his promised date, was filled with photos, and I loved every single one of them. The hardest decision will be choosing which ones to print. I cannot thank him enough for the beautiful memories he captured. And I mean family photos on the beach!.. there’s no better keepsake to spend your money on. I’d recommend Filip to everyone.read more

I hired Filip based solely on his online work from 1500 miles away as I surprised my wife with a vow renewal in Key... West. His online portfolio grabbed my attention and his work was exactly what I was looking for. As a professional photographer myself, I am very picky and certain about what I want. Fast forward to the day of the renewal and Filip exceeded my expectations. He was charismatic, professional and more than willing to help with locations and photo ideas. He certainly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and let us do our thing so he could capture the natural chemistry between me and my wife. After receiving the final images (in a super timely manner) we couldn't be more thrilled with the finished product. The photos captured every moment and real emotion felt on that day. We couldn't be happier and would recommend him for any event you may have. Thank you Filip!read more

I could not imagine having a better experience than with Filip! He was personable, professional and made us feel super... comfortable, relaxed and most of all happy. Nearly every guest at our ~20 person Sunset Key wedding remarked of how incredible of a photographer he is AND that he was fun to be around, which is important for a small wedding. I felt so confident in his ability from the very start and he was incredibly knowledgable about our venues and knew all of the great photo spots around Key West and Sunset Key without hesitation. We always felt like we only needed that one wedding picture we love, but Filip gave us hundreds of favorite pictures! His timeless style is exactly what we were looking for and we found his price to be extremely reasonable. The quick turnaround for the full album was a plus! I loved that he really pays attention to making the bride and groom look their best / most beautiful, while still catching the funny moments. Thanks, Filip!read more

Filip captured our wedding back in April of this year in Key Largo and I really should have written this review... earlier. My wife and I were looking at the photos again the other day and we honestly could not be more happy. Filip is incredibly professional, highly talented, personable, and his rates are very reasonable. We highly recommend his services!read more

We recently booked with Filip during our large family vacation. Filip was patient, knowledgeable, and helped us to... fill relaxed during the entire session.

He totally captured the charm of Key West and created a beautiful keepsake for all of us.read more

We are very happy with our photos with Filip. He was so patient and accommodating with our two kids and family’s needs.... He captured my children’s personalities in the beautiful photos he took. His price was more than reasonable and we got exactly what we were looking for! We will absolutely use him again in Key West!read more

Filip was amazing from start to finish! We communicated through email up until I arrived in Key West and we didn't meet... until the day of our wedding at the ceremony. Being out of state, I didn't know what to expect, but Filip was great at answering all of my questions along the way. I am beyond grateful that he offered to drive us to our sunset pictures and even recommend a private park for intimate pictures. The whole experience couldn't have been more magical, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our dream Key West Wedding! I could go on and on but I would recommend Filip to anyone!read more

Filip made our experience so comfortable and natural. He makes you forget that he is even photographing.

Filip was able to work us in to his schedule for an impromptu beach shoot for my daughter. He was very flexible and so... easy to work with. He took some amazing shots of a teenager who didn't really think she wanted to have her picture taken. I am so glad we chose him to take her pictures!read more

Absolutely incredible photographer. I am from NY and I hired Filip to be the photographer for a surprise engagement... proposal at Fort Zachary in Key West, Florida. Communication with Filip was easy which made everything flow so naturally leading up to the proposal. He knows Fort Zachary Beach/Park like the back of his hand and knew the lighting/angles that would work best during our engagement photo shoot after the proposal. He was extremely professional. Very talented. Has a great sense of humor. And most importantly captured such priceless pictures during one of the most memorable moments of our life!!!! Thank you again Filip!!read more

My fiancé and I would highly recommend Filip! He did our engagement photos while we were on vacation in The Keys.

Filip with Filda Konec photography was amazing. After looking through probably a hundred of photographers in the Key... West area, I decided to go with Filip for his laid back, classic approach to photography (no need for unnecessary photoshopping here). On top of his amazing photography skills, he was also professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to make sure that we received the photos that we were envisioning. We had a destination wedding and he took the time to meet with the groom and I the day before our wedding to go over all of the details and walk through the venue so that we knew what to expect. We had our dogs in our wedding as well and he was excited to shoot with them from day one. He did a great job at capturing their attention for the photos. He went out of his way to make sure that he captured the photos that we wanted. He worked seamlessly with our videographer and our other vendors. After the wedding was over he sent us immediate samples of a few photos and they turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined! I cannot wait to see the final photos. All of our guests were commenting on the amazing job he did and the beautiful samples that have already been provided.read more

Wow what an amazing experience! Truly exceeded any expectations I had. Not just an amazing photographer but a super... awesome person as well. We were lucky enough to do an "incognito" proposal shoot on a Friday and then engagement photos the following Sunday and I can truly say I was blown away with the results. Can't wait until the wedding photos ;)! Very very very highly recommended!read more

Filda photographed our wedding in February and it was such a great experience. We have worked with him in Key West on... many wedding gigs along with dozens of other photographers (we're wedding videographers in Key West & The Florida Keys) and when we chose Filda, we knew we would have a seamless, comfortable experience on a day that can be so overwhelming. Oh, and the photos are incredible! If you want great photos AND a laidback photographer to feel comfortable around on your big day - go with Filda!read more

There is no one better. Fil was amazing. If I could fly him to Minnesota for the wedding I would. Fil is personable,... fun, creative, talented, premier and reasonable with pricing. Personally I would have paid 5x what we did. How he made me look photogenic is beyond me. If you’re reading this, stop reading and email Fil. Thank me later.read more

My family and I were in Key West for a family vacation. We wanted to do a small photo session to commemorate the trip... and to get a nice picture for our family Christmas card. Filip was incredible! He suggested the perfect location for the photo shoot and worked with us to find a photo package in our price range. On the day of the photoshoot he made us feel very comfortable, my family has never done a shoot before so we were definitely awkward, and Filip helped us relax. The pictures came out beyond our expectations. I 100% recommend Filda Knoec Photography.read more
