I would recommend Chris and his team everytime!
With an unexpected migration underway, we had no choice but to plan our wedding in ONE week. We had one week to put everything together for my big day so that things could go as seamlessly as possible and my day would not have been what it was without Chris and his team. When you choose his team all you need to do is let them work. Simple. No hassle. No stress. Just them making sure your day is represented in the most beautiful way possible. Trying a new pose ? Nervous? Don’t worry! They got you. I would recommend Chris every time!

The Perfect Photographer for Our Destination Wedding
Since I was planning a destination wedding in Jamaica, finding a photographer I could trust from afar was one of my biggest concerns. I spoke with several photographers before deciding on Chris, and I'm so glad I did.
From our very first conversation, Chris took the time to call me, understand exactly what I was looking for, and answer all of my questions. Throughout the planning process, he and his assistants were incredibly responsive, organized, and easy to work with. Their pricing was also very fair, especially for the level of service we received.
On the wedding day, everything was seamless. Chris arrived on time, was completely professional, and required zero hand-holding. He blended in effortlessly while still making sure every important moment was captured. He was also so patient in helping us pose—which was definitely appreciated because my husband and I are not exactly natural models! He made us feel comfortable, gave clear direction, and somehow made the whole experience feel easy and fun.
Our family and friends all commented on how wonderful he was to work with, and we couldn't be happier with both the experience and the photos. Choosing a photographer for a destination wedding can feel like a leap of faith, but Chris exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable photographer.
