About

Once upon a time ...

Nine years ago I landed in Miami with my canon A-1 (still film), my backpack, and only $10 in my pocket. I looked around the airport, hoping the next step would somehow fall into place. The $10 I had would not take me far, especially since I decided to buy a diet coke (at airport price) that left me with only $5. I was 21 years old and looking for a dream, an adventure, a path. With a degree in film-making and photography I had to wash dishes and deliver newspapers for a year (as much as I hated the job, it gave me enough money for a decent equipment). After that I just aimed for the moon, and the hard work paid off really fast. My camera is not film anymore. It's a Nikon D4. My old 50mm lens is still around but has lots of new friends, lenses I used to stare at in magazines. I make a living out of taking pictures. The idea that was once a dream is now my lifestyle, and I am truly happy I get to do what I love everyday of my life.

I fell into weddings by accident. It started as a gig, but shortly after I realized that I am not only taking pictures, but I am witnessing a new beginning. I am creating proof of love for future generations. In this strange and crazy world I get to show that love is never overrated. I have shot in mansions, gardens, churches, museums, and back yards all over the world. And even though they are all different, I am always capturing the same thing: LOVE. I want to stop time and make these emotions last forever: the tears, laughter, dancing, nerves, happiness. Making sure that in 10, 20, or even 30 years from now people can look at my pictures and remember what they felt on that specific day is what drives me. I want children to look at their parents albums and hope that one day they will feel the same way. I want to make sure that falling in love never goes out of style.

Chantal and her team were amazing! I received so many compliments from our engagement pictures that were shown during the reception. I can’t wait to see the wedding photos.

Chantal shot for both our engagement photos and our wedding and was absolutely wonderful! We could not be happier with the way things turned out. She is professional, fun, efficient and extremely talented. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Chantal is absolutely wonderful. From the very first phone conversation she was very relaxed and friendly and very responsive. The day of the wedding she showed up early, maneuvered a bridal suite with an insane amount of people where nobody was ready, but she made us laugh and kept us relaxed and in the moment. We got the discs back within a month of the wedding and the photos are INCREDIBLE! She captured wonderful moments with my family and friends and we can't imagine anyone doing a better job with our day. If you have the opportunity, HIRE HER! You won't be sorry.

One of the wisest pieces of advice that I received while I was preparing for my wedding: make sure you really like (the personality) of your photographer.

Indeed, it was one of the best pieces of advice. After looking at Chantal's portfolio I immediately connected with the manner in which Chantal plays with the colors, her eye for catching those special little moments that are often overlooked, and her aptitude for showcasing the beauty of each person and each object. I also liked how natural her pictures look. In fact, I soon discovered that Chantal's work is the clear reflection of her personality. Chantal's authenticity, together with her cheerful and warm personality makes everyone feel comfortable around her. She catches each moment, and manages to see the beauty of things, because she approaches her work with love and passion. She is truly an artist!

After meeting Chantal, and following the above mentioned advice, I knew that I didn't need to search anymore for a photographer. During the day of the wedding, Chantal managed to become everyone's friend and her cheerful attitude made my day so much fun and easier. Not only we all felt comfortable and natural posing, but we also got some good laughs throughout the day! The pictures were absolutely reflection of that!

I sincerely cannot thank Chantal enough and recommend her wholeheartedly. I will absolutely go back to Chantal to photograph future special occasions.

I selected Blue Studio Miami based on a recommendation by a friend. It was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Chantal at Blue Studio Miami photographed my engagement party, engagement photos, bridal shower, and wedding day.

Here’s why I highly recommend Blue Studio Miami:

1) Chantal immediately made my husband and me feel as though we had known her for years. She has a very relaxed attitude and put everyone at ease. This is super important when selecting a photographer as they spend so much time with you!

2) Chantal is very creative. She has an eye for what makes an amazing photograph. Her work is very unique. She mixes traditional photography with a modern journalistic approach. The result is beautiful! We have received so many compliments on our photos. Many of our guests told us they are the best wedding pictures they have ever seen!

3) Chantal is super flexible. I cannot tell you how many times I changed the plan for my events last minute, and she never missed a beat. Chantal actually pitched in and helped set-up my bridal shower when we were running late. She goes above and beyond every time.

4) Chantal’s team is a pleasure to work with. They are extension of her professionalism and all helped to ensure that our photos were exceptional.

I could go on and on about the wonderful experience we had working with Blue Studio Miami. I guarantee that any other special moments my family has in the future we will continue to use Blue Studio Miami.

Chantal and the rest of her team at Blue Studio were wonderful for so many reasons. Here are the highlights:

1) They were very understanding of our requests/preferences, which we did not find to be the case with other photographers that we met. For example, I really did not want any shots of me (the bride) alone and many of the other photographers scoffed at that request or told me I would change my mind. Chantal was so understanding and really just wanted me to be comfortable.

2) The photos were BEAUTIFUL. Even though neither my husband or I are used to being photographed, she made us feel so comfortable that it was easy. Plus, Chantal and her team were very stealthy during the wedding and I really don't even remember them being around. Meaning, they were unobtrusive with the guests which is exactly what you want in a photographer.

3) Chantal and her team could not have been nicer. They even offered to carry our bags when we left the bridal suite. The calm demeanor of Chantal and the other photographers made us calm on a very stressful day.

4) They had excellent turn around time with the photos. They really got them back to us quickly which we really appreciated.

5) Her albums are BEAUTIFUL and very reasonably priced in comparison to other photographers.

These are just a few of the reasons I would recommend using Blue Studio!

Your wedding day is one of the most special days in a person’s life and it is so important to have all of the memories captured in your pictures so you can remember that day forever. Chantal did such a FABULOUS job at taking our pictures. Not only was she so sweet and professional, she captured shots from angles that made the pictures come out wonderful. I loved that she really focused on all the details such as taking pictures of our rings and my dress. She was very creative in getting the perfect shots. We also LOVED the candid pictures she took and she did a great job at getting pictures of every person who attended the wedding. My husband and I got married on the beach in Key Largo at sunset and I can’t tell you how vibrant and vivid the colors in the pictures turned out. I highly recommend Chantal as a photographer. She also did our engagement pictures which we also loved. Trust me when I say that you won’t be disappointed. I have been in numerous wedding where the bride had to tell the photographer what to do throughout their wedding. With Chantal, we got to enjoy every part of our wedding with no worries and every picture turned out great!!!

We must say that it has been a great experience working with Chantal. She is very professional about everything she does. Any questions that we had before the wedding, she was always prompt with a response. At the wedding she was on time and ready to shoot from the time I stepped my foot on the ground. I must say that I (the groom) has never been a smiling person so I can't even tell you how she got me to smile. A couple days after the wedding our pictures were viewable online and as we were looking at the pictures I was saying to myself, "Okay I don't remember here taking this picture, lol" I don't know a word for being past satisfied but we our happy that we chose Chantal to do our photography. Anything else we need pictures for, we will definitely be giving her a call.
