Owner /Artist
I am the Owner /Artist of Sona Photography. I have been photographing weddings in the Orlando area since 1998. After several years of working in the corporate world, I felt a strong desire to step away from my career and feed my creative spirit. My love for Photography and family grew almost simultaneously. Sona Photography has over 450 South Asian Weddings in its’ portfolio and many satisfied customers to boot. Sona has won the Wedding Wire Couples Choice Award for the past ten years. Sona has also won the Knot Best of Weddings Award many times. I Lead all my weddings; however, I only take two weddings per month. I believe in quality over quantity. My company is entirely referral based. I strive to capture authentic and candid moments and create memories that last a lifetime and beyond. Traveling and getting to be a part of different cultures and traditions is one of the most life-affirming things I have done for myself. As a woman and mother I can fully appreciate how important our role is to you and your family. It will forever be a time in your life that generations will be able to share in your enjoyment through our images. I will be capturing you and your loved ones at a time when your hearts are filled with joy and anticipation for what lies ahead. This is the start of your story, and our images will tell how it all began. Serving Florida, also available for travel and destination weddings!

Sapna Mistry2022-08-12We hired Sona Photography for our wedding in Jacksonville, FL and Ron & Stephanie were fantastic! Ron & Stephanie were so helpful during our couples portraits in positioning us and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I personally enjoyed watching them work on our wedding detail shots, the various angles they shot throughout the weekend, and the joy and passion that they had throughout the entire weekend. Also appreciate them for helping make sure all our family & bridal party photo variations that we wanted to take throughout the weekend were captured. We received our highlights recently and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL. We are so so happy with our photos and would highly recommend working with them to capture your special moments! <3
Siddhi Patel2022-05-19Mona with Sona Photography was amazing! She shot my wedding at Clearwater Beach in May 2022 and managed to catch all of our fun, intricate moments, our favorites being our beach sunset pictures! My husband and I are not the best posers or models but Mona made us feel so comfortable! She was fast with the shots, fun, and exactly what we were looking for! Couldn't have found a better match for my fun, chill, beach indian wedding!
Veanna G2022-04-26Beyond impressed with Mona and team. They did a beautiful job capturing our wedding. I am so impressed and satisfied with their work, diligence, beauty, and just overall nature of work. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to capture beautiful moments, you won't be disappointed.
Neil Patel2021-07-16There are so many photographers to choose from in the greater Orlando area and it can get challenging selecting one, all I will say is Mona is the only one you should consider. She was incredible at capturing all the moments we could have ever wanted, she was amazing with our videographer, and was even able to get our families inline for perfect shots. We spent a lot of time looking at portfolios and ended up picking Sona Photography for our wedding, and that was the BEST decision. Mona was responsive and professional from the first conversation we had, she was flexible with event schedules and even helped get us organized before the events to make sure we planned enough time to get all the shots we wanted. If you are on the fence or still deciding on a photographer for your event, look no further, we can't recommend her enough!
Dolly Nahal2020-09-18One of the best photographs in Orlando. Mona is very talented, professional, punctual and kind hearted person. The quality of pictures are great. I highly recommend her.
Amara2020-04-06Mona and her team capture even the smallest details so artistically and wonderfully! They have a brilliant eye for detail and color as each picture tells a story. Their ability to capture those special candid moments is spot on!
Sobia business account2020-04-06Very professional and knowledgeable photographers. Highly recommended.
Jaime Campbell2018-06-15Stephana from sona photography captured a special moment for us as a new family of 4 in our home. The pictures were absolutely perfect! She was very patient and had a great eye for detail. Her candid lifestyle shoot was beyond perfect. We highly recommend sona photography!
Arielle Haughee2018-06-14I have used Sona Photography for many years now--headshots, lifestyle photography, maternity photos, newborn photos, family photography...just about everything! The team is incredibly professional: knowledgeable, talented, punctual, creative, and organized with their work. They are very experienced in working with children and do an excellent job of capturing great shots with wiggly little ones. They also do something magical--they capture the essence of your family through your photos so that you don't just have great pictures, you have the feeling of your family as well. I am always in love with my pictures from them. They are also competitively priced and get your pictures back to you fairly quickly. I will continue to use them for all my photo needs!

Mona is amazing!!! She sent me over 300+ "highlights" two days after my wedding and they are absolutely gorgeous!!! She was a pleasure to work with and she even helped me put on my Indian outfit! I had a Hindu wedding, Christian wedding, and reception all in one day and she helped me get the timeline down so everything ran smoothly. She and her team captured so many genuine moments of myself, husband, our parents, and our guests. I'm so in love with my pictures and so glad I hired Stephana!!!

Mona is so personable and amazing to work with. Her photography skills are exceptional! She captured all of the perfect moments, at the right time. I'm so thankful for how wonderful the pictures came out! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture every moment for us on our special day!
FAQS
Frequently Asked Question
We are all about the details- from who attended to the small, unique design choices you have made for your day- we will capture it all in a creative and elegant manner. We believe that your wedding images should stand the test of time and offer both photojournalistic qualities during your events and more creative styling during your portrait sessions. Because we shoot digital negatives, we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to the digital development of your images. Depending on your style requests, we can shoot in a way that allows for a “light & airy” natural look or “high drama” with more shadows and color. We will give you most images in either color or black & white, but will also include tones that offer a filmic look when appropriate.
Yes, Sona Photography is a registered LLC in the State of Florida and carries liability insurance in the event an accident occurs on location. We can provide a certificate to your venue upon request.
We use professional Nikon Digital SLRs bodies with multiple off-camera, portable flash units. We will come prepared with backup bodies, flashes, and a variety of lenses. Our lenses are of the utmost quality and range from 14mm to 200mm.
We carry far beyond the necessary image storage to cover an all day event, so we prefer not to limit ourselves to a set number. At minimum, you will have around 100 images per hour of hired photography in a final image collection.
If you have created a wedding hashtag or follow us on Instagram, we may post live, straight from camera images during your event. Then, usually within 10 days of your wedding we provide you with highlights to share via social media with your family and friends. We guarantee you will have all of your images available to you within 90 days of your wedding.
Sona prides itself on offering two Professional Photographers on the day of your event who have or currently own their own photography business. Mona or Stephana will lead your event. Any Second Shooters are scheduled according to availability. If you have a preference, please let us know.
We offer two options:
a. The abridged collection will feature either 500 or 1000 images (depending on the amount of photography coverage) on a USB that will be stored inside a custom display case that includes a small, 5-page book that will showcase your favorite images (just like an album).
b. The full image collection is just that, all of your images (high-res jpegs) on a USB.
