Have camera. Will travel.
It started when my family sold nearly everything and spent a year traveling the world. I picked up a camera in the first month and never put it down. By 18 I was in Kenya with Just One Africa, documenting Maasai communities, rescued kids, and clean-water work. That same documentary instinct is what I bring home to every Central Florida wedding, brand shoot, and family session: patience, warmth, and an eye for the moment that actually mattered.
Selected work with Interscope Records, Databricks, Insight Global, and The Metropolitan Club, alongside hundreds of couples and families who just wanted their day remembered right.
From the moment we met Kole, we knew we were in great hands. He was attentive, creative, and gave just the right amount of direction to capture the best moments without making anything feel forced. The photos are absolutely stunning and bring us right back to our wedding day. Thank you, Kole, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

Kole is an amazing photographer: creative, patient, and kind. We really enjoyed our large extended family sessions with him; the photos are great. We have made several canvases and picture books from his work. We would highly recommend Kole for your photography needs!

Kole took my senior photos a few years back and he genuinely did such a fantastic job. He is by far the best photographer I've ever been to would highly recommend.

Our annual sale isn't the easiest thing to make look good, but Kole shot it like it mattered. The images gave the brand a polish we'd never had, and our buyers noticed.
