GARY
CIVITATE
Owner, Videographer
Born and raised on Florida’s Space Coast, I’ve spent the last 10+ years behind the camera capturing photo and video content for businesses, brands, and people across the area. I’ve always had a passion for being on the water, cars, and creating content — what started as a hobby quickly turned into a career, and I’m always chasing the latest gear and techniques to keep improving.
When I’m not filming or editing, I’m spending time with my wife Tina and our two dogs, Finn and Moose. We love this community and plan to be here for the long run, serving our clients and delivering the best work possible.
TINA
CIVITATE
Owner, Photographer
Hi, I'm Tina, co-owner and lead photographer at Reel Reef Media. My husband and I built this company from a shared passion for helping our clients showcase their properties through professional media services. As a Merritt Island local, I love exploring the Space Coast and seeing unique homes our area has to offer. My favorite part of what I do is helping listings stand out and meeting new people along the way. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me at the beach, traveling, or exploring somewhere new. I'm proud to be part of a growing team that values creativity, exceptional service, and helping every client showcase their property at its very best.
CHENAY
STRUM
Operations Manager
Hi, I'm Chenay, and I lead operations at Reel Reef Media. I've spent more than 12 years working alongside Brevard County real estate professionals through brokerage operations, home staging, and now real estate media. That experience has given me a strong understanding of what it takes to market properties, support agents, and create an exceptional client experience. After working with so many professionals throughout Brevard County, I've come to appreciate that great media is about more than beautiful photography or cinematic video. It's about capturing what makes a property or business memorable and telling that story in a way that connects with people. That's something I believe Reel Reef does exceptionally well. Outside of work, you'll usually find me working on a home renovation project, enjoying interior design, or spending time with my two boys.
ALEX
DITINICK
Photographer
Hey everyone! I’m Alex, Reel Reef’s first hired photographer. I’ve had the opportunity to grow alongside the company, building my skills from the very beginning while helping showcase homes across the Space Coast. As a born and raised Merritt Island local, I know the history, character, and unique features that make Brevard County such a special place to call home. When I’m not photographing properties, you’ll usually find me surfing when the waves are up or fishing the flats when they’re down. My family welcomed our daughter in 2026, and we love introducing her to everything the outdoors has to offer. I enjoy capturing each property from its best angles while highlighting the laid-back tropical lifestyle that makes our area unique.
HUNTER
GLYNN
Photographer
Hi I’m Hunter, photographer at Reel Reef Media. I became a member of this company in December of 2025 with an ambition to better my skills as a photographer and videographer. Coming from a media role at Lake of the Ozarks Missouri, I modeled a lot of my work after Gary and Tina, so it was a no brainer when the opportunity came for me to learn under my mentors. When I’m not shooting listings you can find me at the golf course, or on the beach with my fiance and 3 dogs. With a background in media and marketing, I feel that I bring a willingness to learn to this team, as well as great people skills when communicating with agents and homeowners.
CHRIS LAMPKINS
Photographer
Hi, I'm Chris Lampkins, a photographer born and raised on Florida's Space Coast. I've spent the past 12 years behind the camera, with a background in landscape, travel, and visual storytelling. I enjoy creating natural, authentic images that capture the character and details that make every space unique. My favorite part of photography is telling a story and bringing out the atmosphere that makes each scene memorable. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me at the beach, exploring the Space Coast, or traveling whenever I get the chance. I'm proud to be part of a team that shares a passion for quality imagery and exceptional client experiences.
Justin
Markwalter
Photographer
Hi, I'm Justin. I've been behind a camera for nearly 20 years and have worked as a professional camera operator for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I've captured everything from real estate and commercial marketing to live sports, corporate media, and aerial productions from helicopters, giving me experience in a wide variety of shooting environments. My goal is simple: create clean, high quality images that help every property stand out and make a lasting first impression. I take pride in delivering consistent results, paying attention to the details, and making every shoot a smooth experience for both homeowners and agents. Whether it's a starter home or a luxury listing, I approach every property with the same level of care and professionalism.
