Hi, I am Kyle McDonald.


I am an award-winning photographer from the Tampa-St. Pete area. I'm a Florida native, with parents from upstate NY. I got married to my wife, Brita just before the pandemic pushed the breaks on weddings.


The first wedding I photographed was for a friend in 2009, and after seeing their reaction, I knew I was hooked. I upgraded my gear, did some studying, and lots of practice. I worked for a portrait studio for 8 of those years, and now I'm happy to be my own boss.


In past jobs, I've worked in restaurants as a busboy, server, cook, & pastry chef. I left that game in 2014, after trying to juggle 2 full-time jobs and my own business; what a crazy time! I like working hard and feeling a sense of accomplishment, and I'm so excited to be at a point where I can fully focus my efforts.


Interests include: Scuba, Biking, Drone flying (non-professionally), Marksmanship, Painting when there's wine, Craft Beer, Scotch, Guitar, Boating, Woodworking, Travel (esp. Europe), Backpacking, Camping, Apple Products, advanced culinary techniques, and of course; cameras.
