where do you work?
Based in Key Largo, we travel to Homestead, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, North Carolina, Vermont, Chicago, London. We add a little into the price for travel.
do you do small weddings?
Yes! We love small weddings. We charge a minimum rate for our services, typically 3 hours. But we are negotiable based on the season. If we are NOT booked there is a chance we can do a discount.
can I have drone?
Yes! we offer drone photo and drone video. We must stress it has to be within the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) licensing and insurance regulations. We can discuss it. But pretty much anything before sunset is great, but over the heads of people flying is not permitted. If they are all in a tent or all wearing hard hats, we are good!!
do you do preparations & the bridesmaid party?
Of course! Who would not do that!! Yes. We do love the prep. We enjoy the transformation of you and your brides maids, groomsmen, family members from pre wedding to fully made up and ready.
what is your style?
Documentary: we can shoot every thing posed and planned. So we don't miss the memory you have in mind. Or any of the shots you hope to see. Journalistic: we can just follow you around and stop you when we know it is going to be a perfect memory. (This is where you may have to trust us a bit) we don't miss a lot. We tend to get the big picture. We feel like we are 360.
how many photos do I get?
You will get 300 to 800 shots depending on the length of your event. Elopements would be shorter so we would send you about 300 shots.
We shoot thousands...but we don't feel like you want to see that many. So we sift through the best ones and keep the rest on a hard drive - if you feel you want to see more of something odds are we have more...
will I get a refund
We don't offer refunds. We would book you, and turn another client away in order to keep your scheduled booking. If there is ever a time where we are able to refund you, we will, but we have never been asked to refund a wedding.
During COVID-19 we postponed them. But we are back on track. So, no refunds.
do you know my wedding venue?
Simply too many locations to list. from the Historic Walton House in Homestead to Schnebly's Winery to Sombrero Beach in Marathon and everywhere in between.
Ask us if we have been to your chosen spot. We've shot wedding video, elopement video, engagement video and real estate video all over this beautiful paradise.
does your work get published?
yes. A big part of our focus after your wedding, elopement, engagement is submitting the photos and video to the online and in print magazines. We love to do this. We always do it, unless you expressly tell us not to.
do you do large weddings?
Yes! We love large weddings. We charge a little more for more than 50 people, but we are happy to quote you based on an hourly rate which is the same no matter what size the wedding is. If it goes over 50 we charge a little extra.
how many photographers?
For small weddings - up t 50 it would be just one of us. We always bring a couple of cameras and sometimes set them up for automatic shots, which captures a lot more. We get the most important angles, on or two...we are professionals.
When the group gets bigger than 50 people, we would bring in a second photographer. And make more magic. And charge more too.
We offer 360 cameras too. It would be stationary and capture everything in timed intervals. Cool to see.
what do you capture??
We capture large guest groups, and in small groups, family, wedding party, the emotion and the joy.
We get the dancing and the cake cutting and the bouquet tossing and the first dances and the honeymooning..we get everything. Unless you prefer we miss something.
how long until I get to see them?
We process fast. We would send you a gallery within 48 hours. Sometimes sooner. It would be a sneak peek. The full gallery would come a few days later. Via download link. You have private access, you can print or not, you get full copyright certificate to print.
will you edit them to look pretty?
Yes! Colour, tone, sharpness, blemishes that CAN be removed with a couple of clicks will be removed if you so desire.
Our biggest love is to take that not quite well lit or not quite straight shot and make it perfection. We love to edit. We DO NOT DO PHOTOSHOP. It is a service we offer. We would go elsewhere to get someone to do the work a graphic artist would do on your photos. We get it. But no swapping heads here. Sorry!
We offer one full edit of the whole gallery. That is what we send you. If you find some you want edited we discuss how long it will take and if there is a further charge.
We charge $75 an hour for editing.

INDIGO BAY RESORT, SOMBRERO BEACH, ROWELL'S WATERFRONT PARK, COCO PLUM PLACE, FLORID KEYS LAW GROUP, KEY LARGO PRINCESS, AFRICAN QUEEN, MARINER'S CLUB, KAWAMA CLUB, SUMMER SEA RESORT.
2) does your work get published?
Yes! We are Key largo Chamber of Commerce's Featured photographer since 2020 our cover shots as well as 30 other images are spread throughout that beautifully printed magazine. Also, our films are all over Instagram and YouTube. A big part of our focus is to make films for real estate and rental properties that are stories beyond just a home or property for sale.
3) do you do small properties and large properties?
Yes! We shoot 900 square feet to 9000 square feet and more. We do Condominium Communities with 3 pools, lagoons, tennis courts, two marinas and large waterfront properties. We do tiny little mobile homes on dry lots and commercial property. Nothing too small nothing too large.
4) how do you shoot?
We bring all our lighting and open all the windows, turn on all the lights, turn off the fans and begin outside, working our way in and up. We shoot the drone on the same day. We always use the wide angle lenses and send the finished, colour balanced and straightened 3000 pixel photos to you.
5) can I have drone?
Yes! Drone makes every single property stand out. We offer drone photo and drone video. We shoot real estate, social media and weddings with drone. It TOTALLY rocks. We must stress it has to be within the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) licensing and insurance regulations. We can discuss it. But pretty much anything within our acceptable daylight hours, and weather norms and assuming there are no NOTAM's or airports within 5 nautical miles, we will be great.
6) how many photographers?
Just me...and hopefully no one else. We don't need back up or second shooters since we are quite capable of running the one camera and flashes solo. Not even for video do we need a second shooter.
7) do you do editing and re-editing
We offer one edit on the real estate photos. we offer one edit on the video. Simple edits. No photoshop. We also pick our own music and add your logo and branding for the branded version. We make two versions and they are the exact same except for the branding. Extra edits are extra $$
8) what do you capture??
We always capture 4 or 5 angles of each room, at least. We always use flash, sometimes not in really well lt homes. We always capture as many angles as we can even the tiny bathrooms. The most saleable points of the home are the views, the location and the basic bones. Whether it is rental or real sate. We always approach it with the sense that your investment is in our ability to capture the right angles. And light the rooms well. We have managed to help to sell 100's of millions worth of homes very successfully. We have never had a returning client with complaints, boasting a 100% track record with all our clients and reviews on google to show for it.
9) what is your style?
Cinematic highlights, Journalistic video and bright, airy photography. Let us know if you need something different.
10) how long until I get to see them? Or the film?
We process fast. We would send you a gallery of photographs within 48 hours. Sometimes sooner. Via download link. You have private access. Video of real estate and rental property takes some heavy editing and we can make these within 4 days unless there is a heavy load. Longest would be 6 days.
11) how many photos do I get?
You will get 300 to 900 shots for a 3 bedroom 2 baths 1500 square feet home. We offer drone of the exteriors and any homeowners parks, water views, amenities. We offer more than most. But the quality os NEVER compromised.
12) will you edit photographs to look similarly lit?
Yes! We do know this is vital, since when you sit them on the MLS it's better to see a gallery of shits that are lit with a similar colour range. White balance is a vital factor sending the message of consistency in a property. Colour, tone, sharpness, blemishes that CAN be removed with a couple of clicks. Our biggest love is to take that not quite well lit room and make it perfection.
13) do you do photoshop?
We DO NOT DO PHOTOSHOP. It is a service we offer. We would go elsewhere to get someone to do the work a graphic artist would do on your photos.
14) will I get a refund
We don't offer refunds. We would book you, and turn another client away in order to keep your scheduled booking. If there is ever a time where we are able to refund you, we will, but we have never been asked to refund a wedding. We have refunded weddings, when things were not looking favourable for us all. Fully refunded weddings still cost us money. So we usually keep a $100 fee.
16) how do I get my videos?
We send you a link to share, download and embed your videos. You SHOULD DOWNLOAD THEM on to your hard drive and save them somewhere for posterity. Also share them with everyone and they will keep them for you too.
