Thank you for spending a bit of your time viewing my work, that means a lot to me! My name is Felipe Callado and I’d be honored to photograph a special moment of your life.
Photography and video sum up two of my biggest passions in life and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients with what I love to do. I aspire to always capture images that stir up emotion, that take you right back in time to that moment.
I am a big fan of morning workouts, walks with my wife Natalia, my son Beau, and Simba (our pup) . On the journey to get my purple belt at Jiu Jitsu. I love good music, sunny days, last-minute trips, and meeting new people.
As a husband, I firmly believe in marriage and want to do my best to capture all that it means to get married and to celebrate that with you through photography.
… Through light and shadows
… Lines and symmetry
… The movements of emotions
I found my way to articulate how life felt to me. And in sharing my passion with others, I discovered how to communicate (now just try and shut me up!). I find myself feeling more like a narrator than a "photo taker". I’m never afraid to deliver your love story
I draw my inspiration & creativity from old-school films and music.
I believe marriage is something sacred and special, and documenting YOUR love story is something incredible that I want to give to you.
I am based out of Orlando, Florida, but absolutely LOVE to travel. I have shot weddings all the way from Washington State, to engagement sessions across the ocean to the Maldives!
So I did. 5 years later, I still get goosebumps and chills when ever the bride walks down the aisle and the groom sees her for the first time. Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Traveled the world, celebrating people's lives, making friends, etc. Yet, the most rewarding part are still the emotions, and happy messages I get from my clients. Nothing charges and empowers me more.
After 22 years and countless Brazilian carnivals, the USA called us home, and now we're living our best life and traveling every chance we get. We also have a tiny adventure partner, Simba, and we love to take him wherever we go! I still have a DEEP love for Brazil, our family still resides there. So every opportunity, we will hop in a plan and go to Brazil. I spend my free time traveling to my favorite spots like California, Colorado and Europe.
My own marriage is what inspires me the most. We're just two silly kids who love to make memories in epic places, spend too much time planning our next trip , and we keep each other on our toes with big dreams and sometimes spontaneous life decisions.

"Felipe was a great wedding photographer! Me and my husband hired him for our elopement. We reside in Atlanta,GA, but married in Washington state on Mt. Rainier. Felipe is from D.C. so he traveled for our wedding. He is very responsive when we needed him and worked with our dreams for our wedding while adding his creativeness to our pictures and video. He worked with us for pricing and was 100% accomodadting. On the wedding he genuinely cared about getting great pictures for us and would stop at nothing to make us happy with out photos. Heeven asked how we preferred out pictures and video to be edited. Very considerate and professional, I am suggesting him not only on this review but to my friends and family. We are in love with the wedding gallery he did and the video is absolutely breathtaking. Can’t thank him enough for capturing out love so well"

"We had an EXCELLENT experience working with Felipe for our wedding! He was organized, thorough and responsive throughout the entire event, and we were THRILLED with the final product. He is a great photographer! Very friendly and easy to work with. We got our pictures back by the time we got back from our honey and they are amazing! he put together a website with a BEAUTIFUL gallery of all of the photos from the wedding and the reception. I cant say enough about the quality of his photos! On the day of our wedding, we worked with 2 photographers - Felipe and his partner Hugh, split between 2 brides, and they were an absolutely fantastic team. We (my Wife and I but also my family) do not like having our pictures taken, but they made the whole experience relaxed and fun! I particularly liked the candid shots that Felipe captured. Even our guests talked about how great our photographers were! Because we had such a positive experience, I would absolutely recommend Felipe to anyone in need of a photographer. He is a gem!" - Natalie
We were incredibly fortunate to have Felipe capture our special day. His photography skills are unmatched, and his attention to detail is truly exceptional. What sets him apart is not just his talent, but his warm and comforting demeanor. From the moment we met him, he put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
Felipe thought through every detail, ensuring that each moment was beautifully captured. He was not just a photographer but a true artist, and his passion for his work shines through in every image.
But it's not just us who were impressed; everyone who crossed paths with Felipe at our wedding was equally charmed by his professionalism and friendliness. Our guests are still raving about his skills and the stunning photos he captured.
If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture your special day flawlessly but also make it an enjoyable and memorable experience, Felipe is the one. We can't thank him enough for the beautiful memories he created for us.
