About

If you are looking for a photographer to show up to your Wedding, shoot pictures, give you your images and never hear from again. I am not going to be your first choice. I want to know how you and your fiancée fell in love, I want to hear how he proposed and I want to understand your story. I cannot tell the story of you and your Wedding without knowing where you came from.

No matter the lighting, no matter the weather, no matter the interference from the "Crazy Uncle". Yes, I have one too and his name is Mike, go figure. You will have the peace that your day will captured. My pricing has to do not only with my results but also your entire day as an experience. I am not your parents Wedding Photographer.

Must hire best ever

I had Chris and Ella for my wedding. They were so amazing. Chris helped calm me down the week of my wedding helping me find a perfect location for photos. He listened to all I needed and helped with everything. Elle was so amazing. Especially with the kids getting them to pay attention for photos. She helped grab my shoes or random things. I just appreciate them both for helping making my day so special.

Best photographer ever!

Chris always puts you first and is always there for you, literally anytime you need him. He strives to make your day as smooth and perfect as you do! He will not disappoint, and even with my now-husband who's not huge into photo keepsakes, even HE is excited to get our photos back from him because he was so talented and went above and beyond for us on our special day ❤️

Simply the best

Chris is simply the best. If you want a photographer that cares about you and the photos you of your big day this is who you want. He truly fits in with your group and makes your day smooth. We have double divorced parents and I got Very overwhelmed during that portion of the day... Chris made it seem like he needed to take a break for something camera related just so I could take a few minutes to re group. One of the groomsmen in my wedding loved him so much just based off of how he handled and moved the day along that he just booked him for his wedding!! Chris is the best. End of story.

Perfect Photographer

Christopher was such an amazing photographer! Our first meeting with him was very laid back and he took the time to ask us questions and get to know us a couple. He took our engagement photos and we loved them! He made that moment very special and it was filled with a lot of laughs. Our wedding photos turned out beautiful and he was able to capture every moment perfectly! Him and his second shooter, Elizabeth, were there our entire wedding day to make sure nothing was missed! Not only did they take photos, but they helped with little details and kept us on schedule. We have gotten so many compliments on our photographs and we can't thank Christopher and Elizabeth for capturing our perfect day!

Quality Photographer!

Chris is the best choice for a wedding photographer. He is very professional, but personable and extremely skilled at what he does. We couldn’t be happier with the photos or the experience! My husband and I had the most amazing time on our wedding day. Chris and his assistant were an integral part of our day. They kept the day flowing smoothly, and made sure things stayed on track. They had worked with many of our vendors in the past, and things just happened around us with very little input needed from us. That was honestly the greatest thing. We were able to truly enjoy ourselves! We had 3 flower girls and 2 ring bearers, who were a little mischievous at times, and both Chris and his assistant were so great with them. While the price point may be considered a little higher, you absolutely get what you pay for. The quality of service he provides on that special day and end product of the photos and wedding album are incredible. I can’t imagine the day with any other photographer. I am so glad we took the time and allotted the budget for a quality photographer. You won’t regret the money paid to get such an unparalleled experience! Five stars!!

AMAZING Photographer!

Booking Christopher to be our photographer was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding! Because of him, we will be able to live forever through the moments he captured. We all want exceptional service and even more exceptional photographs on our wedding day. Well let me tell you, Christopher delivered. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and enjoying our day while capturing every amazing moment - all without intruding and while encouraging us to be present in the moment! He helped us achieve better photographs than I could ever imagine! In addition to his amazing photographs, Christopher was approachable, fun and professional. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and passionate, and it shows! We also felt his packages were fairly priced and truly ALL inclusive. I can promise you that you will not regret making him apart of your special day!

Perfect Photography Experience

Booking C. Tyson Photography was probably the best decision my husband and I made throughout the wedding planning process. For years I have teased my husband about how awkward he is when he gets his picture taken and joked that our future wedding photographer would have their work cut out for them. Well, Chris made it seem easy. From our initial meeting with him, we all hit it off because Chris is so easy to talk to and get along with. During that meeting, our engagement session, and on our wedding day, Chris knew exactly what to do and say to put my husband and I at ease, make us laugh, and get amazing photos throughout the process. He took the time to get to know my husband and I and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to enjoy our day and have the wedding of our dreams. Chris was there all day with us, making sure that everything ran smoothly and photographing everything along the way. He brought along an amazing second shooter who was equally as fun and caring as he was. Our wedding photos came back faster than I had expected and they are absolutely gorgeous. He captured every important moment throughout the day and a lot that I hadn't even realized had happened. Looking through our gallery was like getting to relive our wedding day all over again which we truly loved. I can;t say enough great things about C. Tyson Photography and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer and amazing pictures to cherish for a lifetime.

Incredible person & photographer!

Chris was more than a photographer for us on our wedding day; he was there with us from the early morning to the very late night, capturing every special moment, and just helping in any way he could. We are so incredibly thankful for him. When we first met him he spent the time to really get to know us and understand our story. This was reflected in the way he captured our wedding day and made everything so much more personal. His main mission was to make sure we were having the best time ever and we are so grateful for that. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He captured not only all the big significant moments, but all the small intimate moments in between. We will forever cherish the stunning memories he captured. His easy going personality and professionalism allows you to enjoy every second of your big day and he makes sure there is no stress on you. He was such a big part of our wedding and we can’t thank him enough. If you are looking for an outstanding photographer and person, look no further!! He is the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
