Why I Love What I Do: Capturing Timeless Moments with MAE Photography LLC

Wedding Photography Miami

Hi there! I’m Chris, the heart and creative soul behind MAE Photography LLC, based right here in the vibrant, sun-kissed city of Miami. Photography isn’t just my job—it’s my passion, my art, and the way I connect with people during some of the most important moments of their lives.

Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to photograph weddings in some of the most breathtaking destinations, and one of my personal favorites has to be Cartagena de Indias. If you’ve never been, imagine cobblestone streets, colorful colonial architecture, and sunsets that paint the sky in hues of gold and crimson. It’s no wonder Cartagena is a top wedding destination—it’s pure magic. I’ve been privileged to collaborate with some of the most talented wedding planners in the industry, creating unforgettable memories for couples who’ve trusted me to tell their love stories.

While Miami is home, my roots go back to the lush landscapes and rich culture of Costa Rica. Growing up surrounded by the vibrant colors and sounds of Latin America has shaped the way I see the world and my approach to photography. There’s something about the rhythm of life in Costa Rica—its artistry, its warmth—that inspires me every single day. It’s the little details, the raw emotions, and the natural beauty that I aim to capture in every shot I take.

What I believe sets MAE Photography apart isn’t just the technical skill or the high-quality images (although, let’s be real, those are important!). It’s the connection. I love getting to know my clients—their quirks, their love stories, their vision. Whether it’s an intimate beach wedding, a grand celebration, or a cozy family session, I’m there to make sure your unique story shines through every frame.

Here in Miami, I thrive on the city’s diverse energy—its mix of cultures, its stunning backdrops, and its never-ending vibrancy. My goal is simple: to make every single client feel like the star of their own masterpiece. Whether we’re shooting under the iconic palm trees of South Beach, amidst the bustling streets of Wynwood, or in your private sanctuary, my commitment to excellence and authenticity remains the same.
