Hi, I’m Anthony—the heart behind Chasing Lights Media.
Weddings and portraits are more than just images to me—they’re milestones of emotion, joy, and legacy. With over 120+ weddings captured as both lead and second shooter, I bring not just experience but reliability, calm, and care to every story I tell. My focus is on wedding photography, videography, and portraiture, with each frame crafted to preserve the feeling of the moment—not just the image.
What started as a creative passion has become a promise: to capture your day with the same attention and heart as if it were my own. I believe trust is everything when choosing someone to document life’s most meaningful memories—and I’m honored each time a couple or family places that trust in me.
Outside of photography and video, I spend time painting with oils and watercolors—slow, thoughtful processes that reflect how I approach storytelling behind the lens. These hobbies keep me grounded, patient, and always chasing light in both art and life.
Let’s create something timeless together. Your story deserves to be told beautifully—for you and for generations to come.
