Inclusive, nontraditional photography for the bold, the weird, and the wildly in love.

About Regina

Hi guys! I’m Regina Rached (pronounced Ra-shid, thanks to my Lebanese dad), a Tampa/St. Pete-based photographer capturing weddings, elopements, brands, lifestyle, and all things nontraditional, alternative, and unapologetically you. I love photographing couples doing things their own way—whether it’s a sunrise beach elopement, a wild queer love party in a warehouse, or a barefoot backyard wedding, I’m all in. I’m especially passionate about LGBTQ+ celebrations and love stories that break the cookie-cutter mold. I will help you feel relaxed, silly, and just like yourself(selves) in front of the camera with my goofy, warm personality. I promise, no one is more awkward than me. By forming real connections with you guys, I capture authentic moments that tell your story. My style? Documentary, FUN, edgy, emotive, colorful and cinematic—with a creative twist that turns your story into art.

Outside of weddings, I also shoot lifestyle sessions like family & maternity, boudoir (yes, all genders welcome!), and commercial/product photography for brands that want their visuals to feel fresh, authentic, and full of personality. Whether it’s your wedding day, your brand story, or your beautiful everyday life, I'd be honored to document it with heart and honesty.

If you believe in investing in your memories while also having a blast let's do the damn thing! You can read more about the experience working with me here.
‍
PS- I am Tampa/St. Pete based but passport ready! Photographing more destination weddings would be a dream. Ask about my travel bucket list and you may only have to pay travel fees for two. Btw, I am small so really just pack me in your luggage and bring me along!

Let's Create Together!

Get to know the goofball behind the lens

1. I say “geez Louise” more than a normal person probably should.
2. Born in Lebanon, raised in Tampa Bay. Both have my heart.
3. I used to drift in my 1989 Nissan 240sx. Fast & Furious is one of my favorite film franchises.
4. My music taste? Unhinged in the best way — I’ll go from Ludacris → The Smiths → Sam Cooke → Siouxsie and the Banshees without skipping a beat.
5. Halloween is a lifestyle, not a holiday.
6. I am a karaoke queen! I’m 50% likely to carry a tune (according to 23andMe, so it’s science).
7. I’m deeply obsessed with my non-human family — expect to see them in my stories.
8. I thrive on road trips, get-togethers, and wild, creative activities or photo shoots.
9. Big fan of Wes Anderson movies, his color palettes and use of symmetry get me every time.
10. I am a total goofball with ADHD (usually medicated), so if I get excited/nerd out and notice a lot of cool ideas for photos in one moment, it's normal for me.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

FUR FRIENDS

I love animals. Currently I have Oliver (dog), Salim (cat) and Little One & Beefy Boy (ferrets). I had 3 adopted dogs when I did my branding and the above image is Enzo, who was an Italian Greyhound adopted from Pasco Animal Services. My oldest and queen of the bunch was Zita. DD, short for Demon Dog, was the middle child. I will keep this in my branding in memory to my fur family that passed and for all the pets I will have and love.

SWEET FRAMES

I’ve been wearing glasses for a while now and I feel naked (and somewhat blind) without them. My face and brand would not be the same without them. Neither would your photos since I wouldn’t be able to see sh*t! If you’re looking for some neat frames, let me know and I will tell you where to get them.

VINYL FEVER

Music has always been a huge part of my life. If you’re from Tampa you know the reference in the title here. There was a record store called Vinyl Fever and you could get $1 deals on great albums! I love vintage anything, especially the sound of music on vinyl. I’ve been collecting since high school and many also come from Banana Records in St. Pete.

GLOBETROTTER

I’ve been traveling since a very young age, because I was born in Lebanon. My dad is Lebanese and my mom was American Italian and Irish. My dream is to continue traveling for destination weddings and landscapes. I have a passion to not only see the world, but eat and drink it too! Really use all my senses! This world is changing every second and I believe it should be documented.
