My approach as a wedding photographer is to capture organic moments throughout your day unobtrusively using film and digital cameras. Your wedding is a unique moment in time with the person you love and everyone you're celebrating with. I believe you should be present, laughing, dancing, and not worrying about it all being captured in a way that feels true to who you are and how you envisioned your day. I've been photographing weddings this way for more than a decade now, and nothing excites me more than helping couples enjoy their wedding day to the absolute fullest.
My name is Chris; I'm so excited you're here! I'm a photographer and a writer, and I love to travel. My background is in photojournalism, which is a big part of why I photograph weddings with an observational approach. I believe deeply in this approach because I think traditional wedding conventions have taken away so much opportunity for couples to actually enjoy their day. When I'm not documenting wedding days, I work with hotels, restaurants, and travel brands to tell their stories (see that work here). I love this planet and do everything I can with my personal work to advocate for its protection.
Most couples who reach out to me say they want to enjoy their wedding day and be present in every moment. They are turned off by wedding industry trends and the performative aspects of weddings, and they care more about preserving real moments and memories. They don’t want to feel pressured to perform or forced through the same staged photographs we have all seen from countless weddings. They want their wedding day, the one with all of their closest friends and family, to be captured artfully and honestly. They want to feel like they were actually there. I photograph weddings this way because it's genuinely more interesting to me.
If this all sounds good, you're in the right place.
