chris’s Style and approach

I believe in capturing genuine emotions and natural moments

It captures the true essence of each couple, allowing their unique connection to shine through. I blend artistic vision with technical skill, using lighting, composition, and color to craft stunning, timeless images. Every detail is carefully considered, ensuring each photograph tells its own special story.

Chris’s love for photography unfolded when he started using his father’s old camera

My father enjoyed taking photos of our family trips. He had a Canon film camera (digital was not invented yet) which I borrowed throughout college. I took photos of friends and family. I was the guy with the camera and still today, I’m still the guy with the camera except now I’m using it to capture portraits of others.
