About

I started as a street photographer, and I bring that same eye to weddings — always looking for real moments full of energy or emotion, the kind that instantly take you back and help you remember the places you visit and people you meet.

The epic, frame-worthy portraits matter — but so do the in-between moments. The quiet ones, the laughs, the glances — the stuff that makes the day feel real when you look back at it. I like taking those pictures also.

My style blends both. Creative, emotive, clean, and candid. I approach every wedding like a personal project, not a formula. Each couple is different, and that’s what keeps me inspired — finding what’s unique about your day and telling that story through images.

If you’re not into posing, that’s totally fine. Most people aren’t. I’ll guide you just enough to feel confident, but keep things looking natural and unposed — like yourself, on a good day, with great light.

Speaking of light — I love working with natural light (nothing beats a golden sunset), but I don’t rely on it. I know how to use flash well. Whether it’s raining, your venue is dark, or the dance floor is chaos, I can make it look cinematic without it feeling staged.

Even our guests loved him!

I don't know if it's normal for guests to complement our photographer, but we had multiple friends and family tell us how much they loved him and the shots he was getting and that's before they even saw the pictures! He and his assistant are so friendly and personable it felt like we were hanging out with friends. He was v helpful from our first meeting all the way through the wedding weekend with ideas and suggestions, and we felt he got all the shots that were important to us. The thing that made him stand out from other photographers we considered is the amount of direction he gave us in posed pictures so we looked comfortable without looking staged or having a double chin/weird angle/etc. The cherry on top is that he sent us a sneak peek before we had recovered from all the festivities. We can't wait to see the final album.

If you want the best, then look no further

From the start, the Chua experience was amazing! In what was an incredibly busy day, they both put us each at ease and took amazingly inspired pictures. The moments caught, both beautiful and funny, are ones that we will cherish until death do us part. Could speak more highly of them and give much praise and recommendations to use they for your special day.

Best photographer you could ask for!

Ardee was amazing! We had to redo everything for our wedding at the last minute due to the hurricane that prevented us from doing it in Florida like we originally planned. He was such a help and our pictures turned out perfect!! I can’t say enough amazing things!!


Great communication, very professional, and he will be really honest with you!

5 star wedding photographer

Ardee was very communicative from our very first intake conversation anbout whether he would be a good fit for us all the way up to the point of receiving our photos after the wedding. (Which were AMAZING.) He was so kind to us and to our entire family! Ardee’s style of photography is far from basic and we would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!

Look no further!

Where do I begin?? I enjoyed them sooo much! He & his daughter were so professional & friendly! Two weddings in two days is not an easy task but they make it look so simple! Their energy & attention to details are unmatched! I was a bridesmaids & I was so impressed that I had to leave a review. If I ever have an event in the area & definitely booking with them. Book now & thank me later.
