Meet Mark, Your Key West Photographer

Mark has combined his love of hiking, backpacking and other types of adventure travel with photography to capture photos of nature and all settings of outdoor scenes. While photographing family members for senior photos and family portraits, he discovered his passion for capturing photos of not just the people, but also their energy, mood, emotion and vibe. That passion led him on a photography journey to expand into photographing couples, engagements, weddings and events. In addition to portrait photography, he also manages Coast to Summit Images for his landscape photography and keeps his own artist website that showcases all his photography genres and projects.

Since moving to Key West in 2021, Mark has worked with some of the leading photographers, event venues, artists and event planners in the Florida Keys on a wide range of projects. Whether it's a family photography session, an undercover proposal, beach elopement, wedding, professional headshot or a large island-wide event, he puts into each project his full energy, attention to detail and high level of service.

Mark now spends the majority of his time in Key West, but also travels and is available for photography in other cities and states.
