Our Team
Toni Jade
Main Photographer
I’ve always lived my life to the fullest and in the moment… joyfully, energetically, spontaneously and creatively. Taking pictures has always been my way of capturing and sharing my zest for life.
I’m originally from South Africa and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography then launched Toni Jade Photography.
While in South Africa I was given the prestigious opportunity to be chosen as President Nelson Mandela’s Official Family Photographer. During my three years in this role, I photographed his 90th Birthday Celebration as well as two of his granddaughters weddings.
In 2009 I moved Toni Jade Photography to bustling New York and then to beautiful sunny Florida. I now split my time between the two, during the winter I am down in Florida and then the summer back to New York.
Jane
Main Photographer
My camera is my window into your world and I love using it to show you all the beauty I see. Because you your fiance and your love is beautiful and deserves to be captured forever.
My accent will make you realize that I’m not originally from America. I’m from the faraway shores of South Africa where I studied Visual Communication at the University of Johannesburg.
I’m always super busy. Life is my passion and I live every moment to the max! I love horses, road tripping, discovering new landscapes and relaxing with friends over a good cup of coffee.
Francis
Main Photographer
As an Italian I grew up surrounded by beautiful masterpieces and learnt at a young age to appreciate artwork and the power it has to record moments and events. Photography is art and I believe we can use technology to create our own masterpieces to record our own moments and events.
I was born in Rome and grew up in Italy. I started taking photos in 2014 while travelling and met my wife on one of my journeys. This brought me to the USA in 2015, I think it was my Italian accent that she first fell in love with.
My wife and I have two kids who take up most of our time. We love spending the time we have exploring the outdoors.
Lenisse
Main Photographer
I love fabulous weddings and believe in capturing your day in a natural, relaxed and documentary style. This is my greatest passion!
You can call me Lele! I’m originally from Brazil with Japanese lineage and my husband is American-Chinese-Jamaican!
I’m slightly obsessed with chocolate and I LOVE to draw! I go crazy with pencil colors and can’t resist a cute blank notebook to fill with sketches.
Jonathan
Videographer
I’ve always believed that you need to find your passion and then that will be your gift to the world. Allowing me the opportunity to film you and your fiance is your gift to me. You being able to relive these special moments in your life is my passion and gift to you.
I studied video production at The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. My professional training and extensive years of experience allows me to give you a classic, timeless and beautiful video.
My family is everything to me and when I’m not at an event we spend as much time hanging out with each other and savouring our family time together.
Anthony
Associate Photographer
I’ve always loved being able to express myself creatively through photographs. It also gives me the opportunity to capture unique moments and share my passion and perspective.
I’m born a Texan but raised a Floridian. It was about 6 years ago that I first picked up a camera and realized that I belonged behind the lens. Now I’m currently studying photography and video production to refine my technical skills even further.
On my downtime I love to go fishing and then taking my catch to a new restaurant to have them cook it up for an evening feast.
Geraldo
Associate Photographer
The smile on a person’s face after an amazing shoot and when they first see their pictures is what gives me purpose and makes me happy. Photography allows me to express myself and bring happiness to others.
I was born on the other side of the world in Gaum then immigrated to the USA and spent my childhood in Maryland. Now I’m at school studying photography and film production.
I’m a football and sports fanatic! In fact, I love it so much that I have represented my national team in soccer. If I’m not watching sports or photographing sports then you would find me kicking a ball around with my friends.
Jordan
Lighting Expert
I love lights and bright colors! I feel that our good memories are made up of bright colors. Being able to photograph you and the colors surrounding you is to preserve those memories so you can relive them anytime.
I moved to Boca Raton from Maryland to pursue my love for photography.
In my spare time I’m taking photographs and if there is any time left over, I’m taking more photographs. My friends all think that I walk around with a camera attached to me. They’re not wrong.
Billy
Lighting Expert
I think my parents must’ve owned a crystal ball and could see into the future. When I was 7 they bought me my first camera and I haven’t stopped since. This has become my passion which I want to share with others.
I grew up on the west coast of Florida, born and raised with a love for the photography, the ocean and science. With my three passions clearly defined I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelors Degree in Zoology.
I’m at my happiest when I have my camera with me and I’m near the ocean. Ideally I’m either scuba diving, surfing or just relaxing on the beach.
Howard
Finance, Marketing and Operations
Being surrounded by photographers all the time has unfortunately had very little impact on my photography skills, to be honest though, I only use the camera on my phone. I’m the voice of logic and reason behind the chaos and creativity of the team of photographers!
I’m originally from South Africa where I received a Bachelors Degree and an Honors Degree in Accounting before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant (CPA equivalent). I then received my Juris Doctor (J.D. or LLB) from the University of South Africa.
When I’m not working on putting systems in place in the Studio and making sure everything is running smoothly you can find me playing with my two girls or sneaking off somewhere quiet to try and read a book.
Our Style
Our Signature photography style can be described as Traditional with a Creative Flare
We incorporate advanced camera, flash and off camera lighting techniques to create photographs that are high definition, crisp, vibrant, clean and realistic. Skin tones are accurate and the scenes natural colors create a beautiful and timeless photograph. Our editing techniques enhance the natural beauty of the photo and aren’t heavily processed in Photoshop.
Your wedding is about you, the people who have come to celebrate with you and the small details that make this a memorable and magical occasion. This is what we focus on.
Each stage if the Wedding requires a different photography approach and we do whatever it takes to get the shot!
At the beginning of the day we combine Traditional Wedding Photography with Fine-Art Wedding Photography.
Traditional Wedding Photography typically has quite a bit of Wedding Photographer involvement and involves more poses and guidance. Fine-Art Wedding Photography involves using artistic angles and creative lighting to create photographs that have that creative flare.
The photographer is actually the person you will be spending the most time with on your Wedding Day. The Wedding Photographer is seen almost as a type of coordinator and assists in guiding and directing during the Wedding.
We will always make sure to give you as much direction as you need to create natural and comfortable poses that allow your personalities to shine. This has an approachable feel and a relaxed result.
Our combination of Traditional and Fine-Art Wedding Photography creates photographs that will stand the test of time- striking and gorgeous whilst both formal and relaxed with a sprinkle of spontaneity.
We believe that Weddings are about the friends and family and loved ones who come to celebrate with you and your Fiance on your special day. TO ensure that we celebrate this, we dedicate time to capturing both the traditional photographs and the more candid ones.
As the day progresses we start to take more of a Photo-Journalistic approach. This is where you Wedding Photographer allows all of the moments to unfold around them while we naturally use our creative eye to interpret those moments though our photography. This requires being in the right place at the right time and anticipating these moments of emotion.
Employment Opportunities
One of the things that makes us smile is that people don’t realize that our studio is actually a team of Professional Photographers. The majority of the time, the photographs you see online and on social media are actually taken not by Toni Jade but by one of our talented Professional Photographers.
The fact that you can’t tell the difference between a photograph taken by Toni and a member of our team is testament to rigorous training and stringent quality controls.
All our photographers are personally trained by Toni Jade in her signature style and lighting techniques and are required to meet certain requirements before we will move them up to the next level. Toni is very hands on an insists on being involved with every client and personally manages and oversees every single job. This is how we maintain such exceptionally high standards and a prestigious reputation for our studio.
Toni always leads by example and all our photographers will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot!
