Passionate Storytelling through the Lens

About Mae photography

  • At MAE Media Group, our approach is simple:
    Capture the moments that matter and turn them into lasting business and personal value.

    Whether we’re documenting a high-energy corporate conference, a luxury brand activation, or a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, the goal is always the same — to tell a story that reflects who you are and what you stand for.

    We believe great photography and video are more than just visuals. They are:

    Brand Builders
    Your event becomes a powerful tool for marketing, recruitment, sponsorships, and social proof.

    Memories Preserved
    From major milestones to real, unscripted moments — the emotions and the energy live on forever.

    Attention to Experience
    We blend seamlessly into your environment, allowing guests, executives, and couples to stay present while we capture everything with intention.

    Our process stays focused on:

    ✔ Active communication and professionalism
    ✔ Efficient coverage that respects your timeline and needs
    ✔ Clean, polished editing that aligns with your brand identity
    ✔ Visual storytelling designed for both immediate impact and long-term use

    Every project is handled with care — because these aren’t just photos or videos…
    they’re chapters in your story, shared with the world.

  • Chris Jimenez — Owner, MAE Media Group

    Hey, I’m Chris — a South Florida–based photographer and cinematographer with a passion for capturing real moments, real people, and the energy that makes every event unforgettable.

    Rooted in my Costa Rican heritage, MAE comes from the saying “Pura Vida, Mae!” — meaning Pure Life, my friend!That philosophy drives everything I do: respect the moment, honor the connection, and tell the story with authenticity.

    From corporate conferences and brand activations to weddings, celebrations, and editorial shoots, I focus on documenting the emotions, the design, the people, and the details that define your experience. Every project is different — and that’s what inspires me. My goal is simple:

    Make you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present… while I make sure your story lives forever.

    I’m grateful to have partnered with incredible clients, from major corporate brands to couples and creators who trust me to capture their most important moments. Whether you’re planning a high-impact event or celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, I’m here to bring the vision to life with clean, cinematic imagery and a thoughtful approach.

    Let’s create something unforgettable — together.
    Pura Vida. Always.

  • Our Values

    Creativity
    Every event is an opportunity to innovate. We push beyond standard coverage to create visuals that feel elevated, purposeful, and unique to your brand or milestone. Whether it’s telling the story of a company’s culture or a couple’s connection, creativity leads every decision we make.

    Professionalism
    Our clients trust us with moments that matter — and we take that responsibility seriously. We show up prepared, punctual, and ready for anything. Clear communication, smooth coordination, and a respectful presence ensure a stress-free experience from start to finish.

    Respect
    No two clients are the same. We listen first — learning your goals, the energy of your event, and the vision you want to portray. We collaborate closely to bring that vision to life while applying our expertise in storytelling, lighting, and composition.

    Authenticity
    Real moments always win. We focus on capturing genuine emotions, organic interactions, and the atmosphere that makes your event unforgettable. From executive celebrations to “I do” moments, authenticity drives images that resonate and remain meaningful for years to come.
