Hi there, I'm Chris. I have had an interest in photography since age 12 and have been an active photographer since age 17. Only in 2013, at age 25, did I become interested in wedding photography.
This new interest presented itself when I realized that not all wedding photographers were horrible photographers in general, but that some of them were actually artistic and used their artistic style to shoot weddings.
I had always seen horrible wedding photos and therefore I was not interested in being a wedding photographer. It had never occurred to me that weddings could look good in photos. Once I made this realization, that weddings don't have to look like they were shot for free by one's great-uncle with cataracts, I fell in love with the art.

What I love about wedding photography, aside from the fact that GOOD wedding photography appeals even to strangers and is not limited to being liked by those who attended the wedding, is that I get to give couples what is essentially an aid to their memories. Memories fade, but a photograph that captures the energy and the emotion of a moment can keep the memory of that event sharp. For a couple who has been married 60-plus years, how great a gift is that? What greater source of happiness than these memories?
It's an investment with truly one of the greatest payoffs for a couple, and being able to bring that to them is a wonderful privilege.
I am also available for portrait sessions.
