 MARCEL

“Growing up on the same street as Greg Cali in Encinitas, Marcel found his interest in art while in high school. He then focused on digital art and photography in college, where he graduated with a BA in Visual Arts and Technology from California State University San Marcos.

Marcel is constantly striving to go beyond the norm and into the different. His laid back personality makes him easy and fun to work with for he has that CaliLife vibe that shows in his photography.

Whether it be an engagement, wedding, or event, Marcel’s joyful and friendly personality are what make him so fun to work with.”

MARY

“I was born in Carlsbad, California and have been living that cool, coastal lifestyle ever since. I love where I live and I love what I do- the only thing in my life to rival my love of photography, would be my husband and 3 boys. Yes, THREE boys! I am fortunate enough to have 4 amazing men in my life, my husband David, my oldest son Brody, and my twins Connor and Dean. I have been running my photography business in San Diego for a number of years and I can safely say It’s the best job on earth! I have been pretty successful through the years and have been featured in various magazines and blogs and have won a number of awards for my photography (not to toot my own horn but,,,,TOOT TOOT!) “

 Colin

“Originally from Minnesota, I moved to San Diego from Colorado in 2010 to learn to surf and have been here ever since. My clients come to me to capture their events and portraits in support of their businesses and they walk away with images which connect deeply to the authentic core of their brand. While photography is where this all started for me, more and more of my work is in creating impactful videos for small businesses in health & wellness, events and real estate.”

Adam

“I grew up in San Diego, California but spent long summers and snowy winters with my family in the small town of Waterbury, Vermont. My brother and I would spend our summers exploring, mountain biking, building treehouses and playing sports with our cousins. Our winters were spent having snowball fights and snowboarding– This is where I found a passion for adventure and the outdoors.

I love telling real stories that don’t feel overproduced– I want my work to always maintain a certain level of authenticity. As an outdoor enthusiast, projects that bring me to wild places tend to be the ones I gravitate towards, whether that’s documenting athletes pushing the limits of their sport, telling stories to promote conservation, capturing expeditions, or creating a brand film. Through doing what I love– being outside and documenting adventure, people, cultures and nature– I hope to push the boundaries of storytelling while creating awareness to nature conservation and environmental issues.”
