Key West Photography for Proposals, Families, Events & More 

Authentic, vibrant photography that captures the heart of your moments — from surprise proposals to timeless family portraits

Hi, I'm Mark — a Key West Photographer Who Loves Telling Stories.

I started as a landscape photographer, chasing sunsets and quiet scenes. But everything changed the day I took senior photos for a friend’s daughter — and realized how much I love photographing people. I’ve been hooked ever since.

​

Now, I capture proposals, families, events, headshots, and more — always focusing on real connection, genuine emotion, and storytelling through light and environment.

​

Whether we’re planning a surprise proposal, a relaxed beach session, or a creative shoot at golden hour, my team and I make the experience personal. We help with location scouting, timing, even custom touches like picnic or proposal setups — all to make your photos not just beautiful, but meaningful.

​

And when you head home, I want you to keep those memories close — on your walls, your desktop, or in an album you can enjoy with your loved ones. Every session comes with your own personalized webpage with ideas for prints, albums, and wall art enlargements that bring your story to life.

​

Let’s make something beautiful together.

What type of photography session interests you?

Let's get you and your special someone being playful, holding hands, getting close and maybe even dancing in the surf. There are endless possibilities in Key West.

Do you want to capture that look of surprise as you pop the question? Let's figure out where the perfect Key West place is for that to happen. After you hear "Yes!", we'll spend some time getting photos of you and your fiance in the area.  If you're already engaged and want a Key West engagement session, we'll go to the places that bring the two of you closer and capture your love for each other.

Key West has so many options for your wedding.  Whether you have an elopement at the beach, a large wedding at a grand hotel or something in between, you surely want photos that will tell your love story.

Do you have young children?  Let's get them playing in the sand and let the moments happen naturally.  Or maybe your extended family is together for the first time in years.  Let's use that rare opportunity to get photos of everyone spending time together.

I prefer to call these Fun Sessions!  They last about 20 minutes and are perfect if you want a short session that comes with a few photos.  Mini sessions are for individuals, couples and families or friends up to six people.  Check mini session availability and book online or contact me for other availability.

Event

Key West is the place for events. Whether your event is scheduled for a couple of hours or spans over multiple days, I can help. Since all events are different, I'm flexible with working out coverage and deliverables.  Let's talk!

Headshot

Do you need to update your professional material?  There's more than meets the eye that goes into getting a headshot or professional portrait to make you stand out from the crowd. Don't risk your brand. Get the headshot you need.
