When I think of what went right about my wedding, hiring Chaz is at the very top of the list.

Chaz is more than just a photographer--he helped my husband with his pocket square, he was attentive and grabbed my purse whenever I needed, he was calm when giving updates on delays, he was a visionary, a comfort, and a professional. His energy is warm, uplifting, and enthusiastic. His work is detail orientated and full of spirit. From our first interview with him to the days following the wedding, he was communicative and caring.

I'll never forget the moment of seeing Chaz take photographs of the windy trees during our rehearsal dinner (right before it started pouring rain) and thinking, "I'm so glad Chaz is here." From the unexpected to the beautiful, I knew he would capture the authenticity of every moment and gosh did he deliver. His work speaks for itself in its aliveness but to experience first hand what it's like to be in front of his lens is truly something special. I felt completely at ease and I know our family and friends did too. What we've seen so far has moved us to tears--he captured our love.

The Sunday after our wedding, our friend said to us, "you don't need your wedding photographer to be someone you want to be friends with, but it's pretty cool when it happens." It absolutely is.

Thank you!!


Chaz Cruz was the ideal wedding photographer for our special day. Communication with Chaz leading up to the wedding was prompt, organized, and highly professional. On the wedding day itself, Chaz guided us every step of the way, providing helpful direction while putting us completely at ease in front of the camera. The quality of Chaz's work is simply exceptional - he truly captured all of our best moments with skill and artistry. We knew from the first time we saw Chaz's portfolio that we wanted him to photograph our wedding. His amazing talent was evident, and we could not be happier that we chose Chaz to document the most
important day of our lives. His beautiful photos will allow us to cherish our memories for years to come. We cannot recommend Chaz highly enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and personable wedding photographer.

Simply Amazing

Can’t recommend Chaz more. He was so amazing and everyone commented on how great he was. He was literally getting me (bride) water and fixing my hair. We had a unique wedding and he created a unique package just for us. He was such a hype man and would take any pics we wanted. Everything was so efficient and I can’t wait to see the final product! He is so nice and down to earth. Would honestly want him as just a guest!
