Hi, I’m John—the face behind the camera!! For over eight years, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories with an artful, editorial approach rooted in emotion and authenticity. My couples are warm, creative souls who value meaningful experiences, deep connections, and timeless memories. They’re drawn to thoughtful details, neutral palettes, and weddings set in romantic places—whether it’s a historic estate, a sun-drenched vineyard, or a charming villa tucked away in the countryside.
Here's a snapshot of my life:
I married my soulmate Victoria in 2020, I was born and raised in central Florida, & I serve on the leadership team at Reclaimed Church, which we helped found.
When it comes to photography, documenting your true, raw emotion is my ultimate goal. Capturing your love candidly – the slow moments, the big celebrations, and everything in between – through thoughtful storytelling is my passion.
Hey, I'm Gary! I put the "film" in Coronado Photo & Film and I've been a filmmaker for 4 years now.
Things that make me, me:
I'm a husband to my beautiful wife Linzi, and we have a son named Liam. I'm a musician / guitarist, fitness enthusiast, and into personal development.
As a filmmaker, my goal is to tell your story while keeping your moments organic. I seek depth, emotion and character in every shot.

I believe that the most meaningful moments in life are often the ones that happen in between—the quiet glances, the unspoken emotions, the laughter shared with the people who know you best. My why is rooted in preserving those fleeting moments, so you can relive not just how your wedding day looked, but how it felt.
