Our PHILOSOPHY?
Stacy
OWNER + LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi friend, I’m Stacy and I love a good backstory, so here’s a little taste of mine.
Hey there, I’m Stacy—story lover, soul seeker, and the heart behind the lens.
Nearly six years ago, I was a single mom raising two incredible kids (now teens—send caffeine), working as a full-time firefighter, and navigating life with grit and a fiercely independent spirit. Enter Garry—my partner in life and in business—who reminded me that love can be steady, deep, and unexpectedly beautiful. Our first coffee date turned into a second one just hours later… and honestly? We’ve been inseparable ever since. From the very beginning, I knew I’d found my forever person.
My years in the fire service taught me how to stay calm in chaos, lead with courage, and never take the quiet moments for granted. These days, you’ll find me out paddle boarding, curled up with a good book, planning our next RV adventure, or lighting just one more candle I just had to buy. I’m always trailed by our two goldendoodle pups and never say no to a bourbon by the fire—neat, of course.
I’ve lived enough life to know that love is real—and worth everything. That’s why I’m drawn to wedding photography. It’s not just about the details or the timeline; it’s about capturing the quiet glances, the deep breaths, the way two people choose each other—fully, forever.
To me, it’s more than a job. It’s an honor. Because when two people join forces in love, I believe they become unstoppable.
Garry
OWNER + LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
I am Garry, the wiser “D.H.O.G.” on the team and it is great to meet you! I promise I’ll explain what that is at the end. But first, let me share with you a little about me and my journey.
It began in 2008 during the economic crash. After completing a commissioned 40’ sculpture, I understood that selling others like it during the financial crisis was unlikely. That's when I decided to shift gears. I jumped at the opportunity to photograph my first wedding. It was actually my cousin’s wedding in Colorado - my favorite people in my favorite place. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. Now, I’ve been shooting weddings full-time for 15 years and I am wildly passionate about it.
I love a good whiskey, cigar bars, tiki huts, steak and pineapple on the grill, and the sound of the Denver Broncos playing in the background. I recently discovered a new hobby, golf - and it is quite infuriating being the rookie that I am, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Of all the things I’m proud of about myself, my family is number one. My two daughters are no longer just my kids, but also my best friends. I have two doodles, both with humanlike personalities that keep us on our toes. My friends would describe me as a dreamer. And to keep it all in the family, just like Evoke, my next dream is living on the beach and owning a coffee shop with my daughter and Stacy.
Disclaimer. Make sure you read this next sentence very carefully to correctly understand! I always say to our couples at the end of their wedding: “May this be the worst day of the rest of your life.”
If you finish this bio, a “D.H.O.G.” is a Devilishly Handsome Older Gentleman.
Ryan
Videographer
Hi there! I'm Ryan, and the team calls me "Ry".
I've been making films for over four years now all across this great state of Florida.
My wife and I have two amazing kiddos (ages 7 and 4). Truthfully, this is how my love for making films began. It developed out of my favorite hobby: hiking with my son. He was a lot lighter a few years ago, so we'd explore and adventure around Florida State Parks with him on my back and my camera in my hand to document. I became known as "The Hiker Dad" and quickly gained a following on social media.
Fast forward four years and a now I'm doing something I love equally as much! Wedding filmmaking is unlike any other type of filmmaking in that it requires a great sense of storytelling. And this is precisely what sets me apart in my field. I am by nature a storyteller, making it my life's work to retell the biggest day of your life in beautiful film.
Amanda
ASSISTANT VIDEOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Amanda!
I’ve been an assistant videographer to my brother, Ryan, for 2 years.
A few fun facts about me are that I spend most of my free time at the beach (how could you not when living so close to Florida’s most beautiful beaches!?), I was born during an eclipse, and I love traveling, especially to tropical places!
Documenting in video the beauty of nature when I travel allows me to look back and be transported right back to that moment in time, and I love being able to do the same for wedding days. One of my favorite things about wedding videography is capturing the small details & moments between loved ones that you’ll be able to cherish for years to come.
Chesnie
CREATIVE DIRECTOR + FILM PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi loves, I’m Chesnie! My icebreakers are: I have a German Shepherd, I was named after Kenny Chesney, and my birthday is on NYE so thanks for always celebrating with me.
Now to the good stuff! I have been shooting 35mm film photography and taking wedding content for 2 years now. I grew up with photography being a huge part of my life (with Garry being my dad) and have always loved capturing life through a lens.
I’m that girl who has photos dating back to 2011 and an embarrassing grand total of photos and videos in my camera roll.
After college, I started my career in social media, where I found a love for short form video content. It’s my favorite way of capturing life, without 10 minute videos taking up my phone storage.
Here is where Wedding Content Creation enters the chat. To me, it is this generations “home video with a camcorder” type of media but now for your wedding day… with much better quality!
I’m an old soul at heart, so I think that’s what attracted me to vintage cameras. It allows you to stop the “perfectionism” mindset and capture moments in time, exactly how they happened. To me, THAT is perfect.
Natalie + Jose
ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHERS
Hi friends, we are Natalia and Jose, husband and wife duo!
We are bilingual in Spanish and English, originally from Venezuela and Spain. One of our favorite parts of our story is that we are high school sweethearts. We fell instantly in love when we were just 17 years old, and officially tied the knot 6 years ago.
Together we share a love for the arts. Jose’s hidden talent is in breakdancing, which he has performed across the world. Natalia is also a talented dancer as well as vocal performer. Together we are traveling professional models and have seen the world together working with so many talented creatives.
Our love for photography actually began with our very own wedding. The impact that our own wedding photographer made in our lives is one of the reasons we perused the same passion.
Forever in the awe of the power of love, we consider it a privilege to witness pure and intriguing emotion at every wedding we capture.
We hold an understanding of the beauty and magic of marriage and that has propelled us to this role in our couple’s lives. For that we are eternally grateful!
