“Chris, an AMAZING job capturing the pure love and emotion that my husband and I have for one another. He brought our engagement photos to life and helped both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Chris did not let us down for our wedding photos either. He was on time, professional, flexible, and listened to our vision to ensure he captured the crucial images. He was very fair on his pricing and is just an overall good guy. If you are looking for a phenomenal photographer for your next event, I highly recommend him!! ”

“We hired Chris as our wedding photographer. We got married in Maui, a real paradise for us! Although the elements were not very friendly, bright sun, shadows, and tropical showers, Chris captured some of the most memorable images! Not only were they aesthetically beautiful, but he was able to capture the emotion of our special day. I don’t know that any other photographer would have been able to do that. There are several of our images that convey so much feeling; it brings tears to not just my eyes and to many who view them. He captures the emotion of the event like no one else. ”

“Chris could not have been a better wedding photographer! He was so incredibly friendly and open to ideas for creative shots. His photos are stunning. He did a great job of capturing so many special moments without making the whole day about taking pictures. Highly recommend booking him for your big day.”

In the whirlwind of planning your wedding, every detail matters - from choosing the perfect venue to selecting the most delectable cake. But when the day has passed, and the cake is eaten, what remains are the memories. And there's no better way to preserve these precious moments than through photographs. That's why hiring a professional photographer for your wedding is of paramount importance. A professional photographer offers you more than just high-quality photos; they provide a sense of calm in the midst of the wedding chaos, and capture the moments that matter the most.Firstly, it's about the quality of the work. A professional photographer doesn't just click a button; they capture a story. They understand lighting, composition, and angles to create an aesthetic that matches your vision. They have the equipment and expertise to produce clear, beautiful images that you'll be proud to display. Secondly, the presence of a professional photographer can put everyone at ease. They know how to navigate through the crowd, how to capture the best moments without being intrusive and how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. This is especially important on a day that can be filled with so much emotion and stress. A professional photographer knows how to blend into the background, capturing candid moments while still being available to orchestrate the necessary group shots. Lastly, a professional photographer is committed to you and your day. They're not a friend or a relative who is there to enjoy the day; their primary focus is to document your wedding and ensure you're satisfied with the results. They'll work with you before, during, and after the ceremony to make sure they capture everything you want. In conclusion, hiring a professional photographer for your wedding is an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. They provide not only stunning photographs but also a sense of ease and professionalism that helps make your special day as stress-free as possible.

Why You Should Hire a Professional Photographer for Your Wedding

An engagement session, often referred to as a pre-wedding shoot, is a fantastic opportunity for couples and photographers to get to know each other before the big day. It's a chance to capture some stunning, candid photos and to experiment with styles, locations, and poses. To help you make the most of this exciting experience, we've compiled some tips on outfit choices, location selection, and pose ideas. First things first, let's talk about the outfits. What you wear plays a significant role in the final look of your photos. You should aim for outfits that reflect your personality as a couple and make you feel confident and comfortable. Consider coordinating your outfits but avoid overly matching looks. Mixing and matching colours, patterns, and textures can add interest to your photos. Think about the location and the weather as well, choosing clothes that are appropriate for the setting and comfortable for the climate. Now, onto the location. Your engagement session should be as unique as your love story, and the location plays a big part in that. It could be a place that holds sentimental value, like where you first met or where the proposal took place. Or it could be a place that reflects your shared interests or hobbies. Think about the vibe you want for your photos – whether that's urban, rustic, beachy, or something else – and choose a location that fits. Finally, let's discuss posing. The key to a successful engagement shoot is to feel relaxed and natural, so your photos capture your genuine emotions and connections. Your photographer will guide you through this, but it's a good idea to have a few pose ideas in mind. These could include classic poses like holding hands, hugging, or walking together, as well as more playful ones like dancing, tickling, or making funny faces. Remember, the goal is to have fun and let your love for each other shine through! Preparing for an engagement session can feel a bit daunting, but with these tips, you should be well on your way to a successful and enjoyable photo shoot. The most important thing is to be yourselves, have fun, and enjoy this special time in your lives. Your engagement photos are not just pictures; they're memories that you'll cherish forever. So relax, smile, and let your love shine – you're about to embark on a wonderful journey together, and this is just the beginning!

Write in style: I am not a writer, or at least I never thought I was. For most of my life, I have struggled to understand myself. When I discovered photography, my world as an introvert began to fade. Suddenly I was always searching for the next picture, the next story, the next paid job.

Now, at thirty-five years old, married with two children, I find myself circling back to the same question: Who am I, and where do I fit in?

For a long time, I avoided talking about myself. I tried to let my work speak for me. But in today’s world, it seems that those who move ahead are the ones willing to speak loudly through a screen or post or story. Out of all the platforms available, a blog makes the most sense to me. It feels like a journal, a public journal, where I can share my thoughts, ideas, and the moments I capture through my lens.

Day One
Yesterday I woke up feeling like someone had taken my mind and left a clapping monkey in its place. I spent the day preparing for an evening photoshoot while caring for my three-year-old, picking up my six-year-old, and dropping them both off at my mother-in-law’s house so I could work.

As I began the shoot on a windy day in one of the wealthiest parts of Dallas, two beautiful people approached me. They were my subjects, a couple soon to be married. Something changed inside me as I started photographing them. I was witnessing a connection between two people in love, two people who wanted to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

As the camera clicked, I felt myself come alive again. By the end of it, I was not just tired. I was fulfilled. I had done something that mattered.

This journey of being a photographer, a husband, and a father is beginning again. I am learning how to move through this world with honesty, to do some good, and to make a living.

More than anything, I am learning how to see again, both through my camera and within myself.
