BEHIND THE LENS

Meet Chris

about ME

Hi!
I'm Chris

My favorite part about planning our wedding was that nervous excitement. The Butterflies. The "I can't believe this is finally happening" and all those little moments in between and before we knew it, our big day had come and gone.

Once we received our wedding album we were blown away. The laughter. Tears. The little side stories that we didn't even know that happened. All wrapped up in one precious heirloom. To this day our album is our own little time machine to the greatest day of our lives.

And that's why I'm a photographer. To share and celebrate those moments that time left behind as memories. A perfect collection of your own authentic moments. The laughter, tears and little moments in between that perfectly capture your love, and turn them into exceptional images that look as beautiful and timeless as they were the day they were taken.

Sunset chaser, travel lover, painter of light & living proof of love at first sight.

The Story So Far

Kirsten and I get engaged and experienced
an Engagement Shoot where I'm told
"Chris, you really need to work on your smile."
 I felt crushed, embarrassed, and awkward.

I decide that there must be a different way to photograph people. A way that leaves them feeling empowered, and amazing, all while capturing their true, authentic selves.

As I stare down my busiest calendar yet, I'm invigorated with all the love and trust that my clients have placed in me. Wedding Photography is my passion and I don't ever see that changing.

The First Day of Our Forever

The First Day of Our Forever

I snuck a camera in to take my first wedding photograph of my Mom and Step-Father as they solidify their vows in our living room.

I was only 7 years old, and still knew the value in capturing weddings forever.

about you

My couples are seekers of new memories, lovers of adventure, with a taste for the unexpected, eagerly exploring each new path together.

Life's too short to stop making memories.
Whether you spend a day exploring somewhere beautiful, a night sharing a perfect meal, or simply snuggling up on the couch for a movie, you can't dream of a life without your partner at your side.

Does this sound like you?
Then we're a perfect fit. Let's Talk
