Jimmy Ho Photography – Gainesville Wedding Photographer bio picture

About the Artist

My name is Jimmy Ho, and I'm a photographer who specializes in creative portraits and photojournalistic wedding photography.  A wedding is one of life's greatest events and is a key moment in every family history.  I take great care and detail to document weddings so that my images tell the unique story of each wedding that can be enjoyed for generations.

This attention to detail can be seen in the fact that I treat each individual image with the utmost care - one by one.  Every image from a wedding is one of a kind, and I believe each one deserves the best artistry I can provide both while photographing and afterwards during post production.  To this end, I create stunning, emotion-filled, meaningful and fresh images for my clients.

I first became interested in photography nearly two decades ago when my father taught me how to use his manual-focus film camera and I have been fascinated with the art of photography ever since.  My background in photography includes experience ranging from local and sporting event coverage to newspaper reportage to developing images in a professional photographic lab.  I am also a member of Professional Photographers of America.  While I enjoy all types of photography, I prefer wedding photography for the challenge of creating artistic images from the spontaneous and fleeting moments typical of weddings.

My studio is based in Gainesville, Florida where I reside with my loving wife and our daughter.  My wife, April, is also my business partner, album designer, and handles product fulfillment.  I am available for weddings throughout Florida and Georgia and the rest of the southeast.  The images on this blog are highlights from recent weddings and other photographic work.  I hope you enjoy the images and invite you to check back often for updates.

Eric Redmond

I seem to keep bumping into Eric Redmond at weddings these days.  It’s no wonder, he’s absolutely brilliant on the piano and keyboard! 

Eric asked me to do some promo pictures for his website, so we spent the morning taking pictures at a few places, and got to know each other a lot better.   He has 5 kids, and is a full time pianist.  He’s also has a great personality and sense of humor, and I had a blast getting pictures for him!

Here are just a few pictures from his photo session:
