Wesly “michael RAKIM” eDWARDS


My second middle name “Rakim” stems from the 90’s hip-hop artist, ode to my mothers taste in music. Virginia Beach, Virginia proved to be my early roots and after a few stops down the east coast my home was made here in Jacksonville, FL. 2009 is my first memory of ever touching a camera not yet knowing just how intrinsic the craft was engrained in my shutter finger.


Today, I have the special privilege as a Lifestyle Photographer to exercise my “ism” by helping curate the soul of different Lifestyles rather it be celebrating life events, producing eclectic art projects, to birthing unique Business identities for Enterprenuers

like myself.


Capturing the essence of what’s in my frame is 100% my passion and driving force behind every client session and I look forward to illustrating yours!

""When I got engaged and started planning my wedding two years ago, there was no question about who would photograph our wedding. Needless to say he did not disappoint. Our photos came out beautiful! The lighting, the poses, EVERYTHING. Our wedding timeline was crazy. I thought we'd have more time to take pictures when in reality we had less than an hour with our bridal party. He understood the timeline and took pictures quickly without the feeling of being rushed!""
