Kole Purdy Photography

I'm Kole Purdy, an Orlando wedding photographer with a documentary heart. Ten years behind the camera and nearly 30 countries taught me the same lesson every time: the best frames are the ones nobody posed for. The look between you two during your vows, your dad quietly wiping his eyes, the dance floor at midnight when everyone forgets the camera is there. I stay out of the way and catch your day as it actually happens, warm and unforced, so years from now the photos feel like the wedding really felt. I shoot across Central Florida, from Winter Park to Lake Nona to the coast.

Most of my work isn't posed, and that's on purpose. My background is documentary and humanitarian photography across nearly 30 countries, plus commercial work for Interscope Records, Databricks, and Insight Global, so I know how to read a room and catch a real moment before it's gone. On your wedding day that means less standing around for setups and more of you actually living it while I quietly work. You get honest, story-driven images that hold up long after the trends fade, and a photographer who's calm, easy to be around, and genuinely invested in your day.
