Where it all began

Our story began on a quiet sunset beach with a small budget, a small family, and a whole lot of love. A simple, yet elegant elopement not only began a beautiful marriage, but sparked a passion that had been lying dormant, just waiting to be brought to life. Working with our fabulous photographer to help capture the perfect shots unleashed a new purpose - to provide people with the same kind of unique and budget friendly experience we had on that fateful day. As a family, we began the journey to forge that inspiration into a business of our own. 

And so... Half Moon Beach Eventures & Photography was born.

co-owner, Photographer, & Editor

I've dreamt of being a lot of things, but photographer caught me by surprise. I never thought I would find so much passion from behind a lens, but now every shot I take is an expression of creativity and a story that is begging to be told.

co-owner & Photographer

As a USMC Veteran, I used to shoot through the scope of an M16 and now I shoot through the lens of my camera. The goal remains the same... experience the world through the vantage point of adventure.

Mr. T

PUP-LICK RELATIONS SPECIALIST

My res-paws-ibilities are as follows: make hoomans happy, keep hoomans stress free, give hoomans as many kisses as they want. I love receiving payment in the form of fetch and/or cuddles. I've recently requested my tips to be in the form of hooman food, but HR denied my request. How rude!

Bear

log-i-sticks specialist

No stick will go un-sniffed and no ball will go un-chased on my watch. My mission is to sniff out locations and determine their suitability for hooman adventuring. As a certified log-i-sticks specialist, I found 5 logs and 20 sticks this week, alone. My reward was 5 amazing belly rubs and 20 “atta-boys”.
