I had the absolute delight of working with Stephen on now a second project, I first reached out to another photographer to arrange some head shots for my business and when my inquiry was not answered in a timely manner I did another searched and found Thee Photo Ninja. I sent an email which was responded to in less than 30 minutes, I scheduled the photo shoot and was blown over with my first encounter. It was the best professional experience with a photographer, I was welcomed with genuine warmth, kindness and professionalism. I felt safe, relaxed and just enjoyed the session tremendously. I have since had another session for another project and it was equally amazing!! I would give 100 stars just for the professionalism, . It was truly an amazing experience 🙏🏽💖 More...

Kelly Love, with Sirata is amazing. Kelly and her team helped us so much with getting everything ready for our wedding.
They are very organized, and attentive!! The Sirata was great, our guest absolutely loved it there. Comfortable beds, clean rooms!!! The food was absolutely amazing. *chefs kiss* We had our ceremony on the beach, and then our reception in the coconut palm pavilion with the florribean buffet. We ran into no issues and highly recommend The Sirata, for your wedding or any other event!! There are so many options to choose from to really make it however you want it!!

Having my wedding at Sirata Beach Resort was a dream come true! I always wanted a beach wedding followed by a beach reception on the Gulf Coast.
.. which was surprisingly hard to find. However, thanks to Sirata, they were able to make this happen with their Coconut Palm Pavillion!
I was also looking for a place that could accommodate our large families all in one place with amenities to help entertain the kids. Sirata was perfect for this. They were able to accommodate more than 40 room blocks for our event. Their grounds are SPECTACULAR for families and kids with 2 pools, a splash pad, and activity booth with planned activities offered every day! All our family and friends enjoyed Sirata’s grounds!
Working with Jessica and Kelli made everything so easy. We had a couple hiccups along the way (to be expected when you’re planning such a large event), but they did everything in their power to help fix and smooth things over. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! ... and it truly was!
In addition, the reception staff were super friendly, the food was amazing, and all communication leading up to the day, as well as the day of, was fantastic!
If you are looking to book your venue with people who truly care about you and your special day, then this is the place! They won’t let you down.
Thank you Jessica and Kelli for all your help, effort, and time! We absolutely loved getting to know you and planning our wedding with you. We will always cherish the memories we made with you and at Sirata Beach Resort!

Steven Le at the Photo Ninja is a joy to work with on photoshoots. I have used his services for multiple years and at different companies while working in Tampa Bay. His artistic eye is above all! I can share with him our ideas, and he truly takes our vision to new heights and captures photos that we could imagine taken ourselves. He is always professional, on time, and goes above and beyond for his customers. I would highly recommend Steven's services to anyone looking to take their marketing efforts to new levels. More...

Steven is as good as they come! I hired him for a new headshot and not only was I super thrilled with the result, but I was very impressed with the entire process, from turnaround time, to professionalism, and friendliness. He is a true professional and made every shot we took comfortable, with stunning results to chose from. I look forward to working with him again and would highly recommend! More...

My husband and I got married at the Sirata on 11/6. We cannot express how grateful we were to have gotten married at the beautiful Sirata resort!
! First, working with Kelli Love was a pleasure. She is very professional, great at communicating, and really went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect night. She really made everything stress-free. The ceremony on the beach was gorgeous and the reception and party after was so much fun! Everything was set up beautifully. The food at the buffet was EXCELLENT and everybody raved about how much they loved the food. Thank you again Kelli and everyone at the Sirata for making our dream wedding come true!

We had a beautiful wedding here and everything went so smooth thanks to the staff and our day of coordinator, Jessica.
The guests loved the food and commented on how organized everything was. Jessica was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, quickly answering any questions we had. She was also amazing on the day prior to and the day of the wedding and ensured everything was on time and running smooth. She even coordinated with my vendors to ensure they arrived and knew where to go so I didn’t have to worry about it (which was extremely helpful since I didn’t have a wedding planner). The Sirata also does a lot of prep work for you (i.e., setting up tables, chairs, linens, napkins, etc; they even have some decorations you can use if you choose). Overall a wonderful experience and the guests loved it!

We celebrated our wedding at the Sirata and couldn't have asked for a better set-up. The location, food, price, staff, etc was incredible.
The wedding weekend went off perfectly and received so many compliments from our family and friends. I would like to especially recognize Kelli Love who was our onsite wedding coordinator. Kelli was flawless at the planning, communication and such a pleasure to work with. She eliminated any stress that we had! I also want to mention Ashley Woelfer in the room reservations team. Ashley was always such a joy to work with in regards to getting hotel rooms reserved, wedding blocks and provided our guest an incredible experience. Thank you both so much for everything you have done. We truly appreciate it!

Steven is an absolute pro. He is quick and responsive and the studio experience was awesome. He directs well during the shoot and experiments with light and wind and outfit changes. He edited the photos quickly and the final product is beautiful. Highly recommended! More...

Yelp's suggestion was to talk about how great Steven's cheeseburgers are. Sorry to disappoint, but he did not provide cheeseburgers. What he did provide was great photos at a very reasonable price. Yelp reviews suck. Steven's work does not. More...

Steven is wonderful! He provided a thorough email of what to expect prior to my appointment, and was able to schedule within days. The location was easy to find and the studio interior has a great atmosphere. Steven was professional, efficient and made me feel comfortable behind the camera, which is an impressive feat. After doing research, I confirmed that Steven has the best results for the most reasonable price in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area. Plus, I felt like I was hanging out with a longtime friend! Great experience and great results. I will be contacting Steven again for any future photo needs and recommending him to friends/family. More...

Sirata was the perfect venue for our destination wedding! With the stress of 2020 everyone was ready for a vacation & to celebrate our wedding!
We are so happy we picked Sirata & the Coconut Palm Pavilion. From the very beginning Kelli Love was amazing & so helpful. She responded to all of my emails & really helped planning a wedding from Michigan easy & stress free. We couldn’t have had the amazing wedding day that we did without her! The Sirata Clam Bake food option was amazing, and our wedding guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We also did the Farewell breakfast brunch on Sunday and our guests loved that too. The food was again amazing , and it was the perfect way to say goodbye & thank our guests for traveling to our wedding! Highly recommend! We are so happy. Thank you to all of the Sirata staff who helped make our wedding day perfect.

We had to delay our wedding a whole year, so needless to say we couldn’t wait to have our day. We even went as far as having the room sprayed down and setting up 5 hepa purifiers throughout our room, due to a few of my family members being immune deficient.
Here’s my pros; our beach day weather was perfect, couldn’t have been a better day. Our bamboo arch was setup exactly like we asked and our chairs looked great. On the day of our event we got to work with Jessica, she is terrific. She is on point, a sweet heart & extremely responsive with your needs. The food is also very good. The tables in our room ( Sirata was responsible for) were also set up, just as we wanted. Cons: The rooms we stayed in, mind you, we couldn’t book any 3 large rooms for less than 3 days, cost us an extra 3k, were mediocre at best. And were so far apart from each other, made carry our stuff around a nightmare for everyone who helped. The rooms had issues with electricity, smell, temperature, door locks, sinks..etc etc etc. We were so busy with everything we would just went about our day and tried to figure it out as we went. The few weeks leading up to our wedding were tedious and annoying, at best, as I found myself constantly repeating my request, but at least you get a few good vendor referrals. The room setup was a little weird for me, as the floor has 2 steps, we couldn’t use water vapor for our 1st dance, or any other type of prop as it may have cause the fire alarms to go off, the ceiling for our reception room are a bit low for a wedding venue, which I should have considered prior to choosing this venue. Regardless, our wedding day was fun, I had a great time with family and friends, though our wedding was smaller due to covid, we still made the best of it and had a blast just spending time together.

Guys! I had THEE best shoot with Thee Photo Ninja Steven Le. I am a Los Angeles refugee (lol) and came to St. Pete after 20 years in the entertainment biz. I was looking for someone who was close to the caliber of photographers that I have worked with over the years both in front of and behind the camera. Steven surpassed my expectations, which were already pretty high from perusing his work on his website and IG. Sure, there are plenty of great photographers but in addition to his creative talents, his chill energy makes you feel super comfortable, which enhances the whole experience and produces better results. I am ecstatic that he brought out the real ME. His studio is super cool and made me feel like I was back in my downtown LA loft. Such a wonderful experience overall. THANK YOU! More...

Despite my natural hatred of being photographed, Steven made the experience easy and created the great professional headshots that I needed. Melissa Brown did my hair and makeup for a reasonable price and doted on me through the shoot. Many thanks to both! :) More...

I met Steven 10 years ago when he was recommended to me to shoot a charity event I was organizing. I've been a huge fan of his work ever since. His passion and dedication really shines through in the stunning photos he creates. He did a graduation photo shoot for my daughter's senior year of high school 5 years ago and they turned out absolutely amazing. So of course, I couldn't trust anyone other than Steven to do her college graduation photo shoot too! As always, he came through and didn't disappoint! His photography style is creative and versatile. If you share with Steven your vision of what you want, he'll not only make it a reality, but the final product will be better than what you imagined it would be. The level of professionalism and quality of service he provides is top-notch. I highly recommend Steven! More...

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Steven! From the moment I met him and had him take my senior portraits, he made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and during all of the awkward moments in between. He is such a professional, guiding me the whole way and would do anything to get the perfect picture. He really took the time to understand my vision and ideas. He made sure that I loved the final products and they were exactly what I envisioned and more. The photos I've gotten back have been nothing short of amazing and always surprise me to this day. Steven not only are you an amazing photographer but an amazing person. Nothing but love for you! More...
