Allow me to begin by saying congratulations to you on your engagement and thank you, as well, for your interest in 80 West.

I begin my career as a photographer in 2005 doing street photography and photographing architecture. In 2009, I decided to migrate into portrait photography photographing children and models, both male and female. Soon after photographing a wedding as second shooter with a friend, I discovered my love for wedding photography, which is now my main focus. Today, wedding photography is my passion. It is my "Raison D'etre," the driving force in my life. It holds an unmatched beauty within itself unlike anything else in the human experience. A day that two people with a true love for each other become one soul, for eternity.

I have the unique honor to be the storyteller for that moment in time... Pretty cool.

From our introduction to the planning process, to your engagement shoot, through to the big day, you will find that I will make every effort to earn your trust and leave you with a sense of confidence and calm. I will do everything that I can to help the two of you create a blueprint that caters to your needs. 80 West has several options that match all budgets. Our 'A la Carte' packaging will allow you to design your day to suit.

I constantly strive to grow in order to better serve my clients and to make your experience with 80 West Studios one that carries with it smiles and memories as fantastic as the images that we will create together.

In addition to wedding day photography, 80 West offers a wide array of other specific photo sessions to meet any needs that you may have. We offer wedding videography, as well as additional photographers to cover weddings of any size. We are also partnered with one of the most incredible and experienced Wedding, Fashion and Television Production Make-Up Artists in existence, Jen Seidel. If Make-Up artistry is something on your "Vendors to Locate" list, look no further. Jen has you Covered.

Please visit 80 West's website to see our galleries and be sure to click on "Shop" to find the endless possibilities that I am able to offer to you for the fulfillment of your photographs. From Albums, large or small, to Prints, Wall Collages and Canvas', the possibilities are limitless.

I would love to have the honor of telling your story...

Thank you!

My sister used Chris as her photographer for her wedding. The pictures came out amazing. Chris has a different style of shooting which really captures moments that sometimes you aren't even aware are happening! I would highly recommend him to capture your most special moments during your most special day! :)

First I would like to stay that I had a wonderful and fun time working with 80 West Studios. After all of our searching, we came upon 80 West Studios and Chris West. From the moment we looked over his website, we could see that he not only captured the bride and groom, but he captured the joy of everyone there. From the day of our first meeting, we instantly fell in love with his personality, his passion, and his voice. Trust me when I say this, but his voice is deep and soothing. Listening to him talk will wash away any hectic moments on your big day. Chris showcased a wide variety of ways to capture the big day, as well as a breakdown of how our typical day would be from start to finish.
When we booked Chris, we booked the engagement shoot and wedding day. Once we picked out our engagement shoot location. Chris spent days going over possible shoot locations, ideas that he wanted to try out, and even looked at the scenery throughout the day to find the perfect locations of the sun.
For our big day, Chris captured each memorable moment. He gave new life to the chapel at Loyola University. He captured moments that most photographers would overlook. For our reception, Chris was in every bit of the action. He captured all of our dancing moments, along with the large circle that formed during our bonus last song. Every one of my guests was captured in the moment and it is something that I will cherish for a lifetime. He even gave my mother the best gift which was a photo during our dance. He captured that perfect moment when I kissed her forehead and she got bashful and smiled. Every photo with my wife will forever bring a smile to my face. Chris gave my wife and I the things that we wanted. He captured our moment, he captured our hearts, and he captured the love that was shared on that day. I can never thank him enough. He made an everlasting impact on our big day. He will forever be an everlasting part of our family because he captured our lives.
