Hi! We are Chaveli + Brandon of CB Studios Branding!


For over 10 years, we have been photographers and videographers fueled by the passion for cinematic storytelling for people and brands. 


We believe compelling visuals carry the power to bring in audiences and create meaningful connection.

Our Story

Brandon and Chaveli met in New York City in 2019, when Chaveli was in graduate school at Columbia University and Brandon was working in the city as a photographer. Upon meeting at a small coffee shop in the Flat Iron District on a rainy day, they fell in love, and, throughout their blooming relationship in the city, they discovered their shared dream to elevate visuals for people and businesses through cinematic photography and videography.


From small cafes and long walks in Central Park, they daydreamed about creating a media company together to capture visual stories. Almost three years later, in Tampa, FL, following a global pandemic, that dream came into fruition, and CB Studios was born.


Together we own and manage CB Studios (a business for weddings and couple photo and video) and CB Studios Branding (a photo and video business geared towards visual branding for people and businesses). Over the course of our business's growth, we've had the honor of working with hundreds of brands within the Tampa area and helping them reach wider audiences and achieve great success through the power of visual storytelling.


Today, we are married, parents of two beautiful children (an almost-two-year-old boy and a little girl we are meeting in August!), as well as dog parents to Archie (a Goldendoodle) and Bella (a Chocolate lab).


When we aren't working, we still have our cameras, except we are living and capturing our own story and memories with our little family.

With each of our clients, we prioritize forming community and long-lasting relationships, so we can capture all of the growth and positive changes within a brand. We are committed to capturing businesses in the most cinematic way possible. Within our team, we each carry over 10 years of experience, along with rigorous education, and implement cutting edge equipment so we can be the best visual storytellers we can be for our clients.
