Our goal at Maven Photo + Film is to beautifully document and tell your unique story. Whether that story is of your special day or business brand, we strive to capture authenticity and emotion through photography and videography.
Our story has a magazine start. Literally. We met while both working as freelance photographers for Ocala Style Magazine. Covering jobs for one another and sharing photog tips and tricks. We are firm believers in “Community over Competition” and how people can do amazing things when they come together!
As a team, we bring versatility, energy, and style, and have been known to do crazy acrobatics to get THE SHOT. We put our time and talent together to provide you with the best, most unique experience possible!
Let us capture YOUR story!

Dave is always chasing the next adventure—whether he’s hiking remote trails, riding his motorcycle, or cruising back roads in search of the perfect sunrise. It’s rare to catch him without a camera in hand, ready to capture whatever beauty unfolds.
A U.S. Army combat veteran, Dave has traveled the world, lived abroad, and fully embraced life off the beaten path. In 2023, he ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, adding one more wild story to his growing collection of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
His lens has taken him across the globe, collaborating with brands like Redbull, Adidas, and Toyota. One of his most unforgettable shoots? Racing downhill alongside Redbull pro riders while documenting the legendary Joyride event in Whistler, BC.
Dave is a certified scuba diver and FAA-licensed drone pilot, specializing in photography both below the surface and above the clouds. From exploring the vibrant marine life at Kicker Rock in the Galápagos to capturing dramatic aerial landscapes, he’s always pushing to find the most powerful perspective.
At home, he shares life with his wife, Brooke, and their beautiful blended family. Exploring new places, sharing great meals, and making memories together.
