About

Started shooting digital in 1997 and never looked back at film since. Photography is a passion, a creative outlet, and a satisfying business full of opportunity. I love people, and feel that engaging with people personally makes for stunning, real photography. Interaction is key to setting subjects at ease, and capturing fleeting moments in a natural, beautiful way.

I am a husband of a loving, amazing woman, a father of two beautiful girls, and a creative professional with a passion to please. If I could pay the bills with the ear-to-ear smiles and compliments from my clients, I'd work for free :)

I'm a gadget-loving, technology geek. But I'm also a compassionate human-being lover. Put the two together and you get state-of-the-art images that will provide meaningful enjoyment for a lifetime.

Chris is one for the books

Words cannot describe what an amazing and special photographer and person Chris is. Although we were one of the wedding couples that had to change our date not once but three times over the course of a year and a half, Chris was always flexible and willing to make any date possible. He was/is extremely reliable and responsive within a matter of minutes throughout the entire process and willing to communicate via email, text and or phone call. (I am old fashioned and hate email so thank you for dealing with that lol) We couldn’t have asked for a more genuine, honest and brilliant person to work with and will definitely use him for all of the exciting chapters our future holds. He not only is the person you want to use to capture all of your memories, but he is also the person you consider a friend almost instantly and want to grab a beer with.

My now husband and I first met him in person for our engagement shoot. He went out of his way to drive over an hour in rush hour traffic just to shoot at Filoli Gardens. The fact that he is willing to travel for such a short amount of time is extremely generous and we are so grateful he took so much time out of his day to make that possible.

Now on to the photography aspect of it. Alec and I are definitely awkward in front of the camera and knew we would need some guidance in how to pose and feel comfortable being ourselves. After being open about this, he was able to offer many suggestions on how to stand, where to stand and pick out all of the places he knew would capture many memories. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I have a thing for doors and he made sure we got a photo in front of every door LOL. We really appreciated that he took charge and took all the guessing work out of what we needed to do and they came out truly perfect.

Fast forward a month later to our actual wedding day, which happened this past weekend. It was so wonderful to see Chris, a familiar face again, and this time around he truly gave us the confidence we needed on our big day to feel comfortable in front of the camera. It felt effortless the day of the wedding. (If using him before your wedding, I highly recommend meeting him for a shoot prior to the wedding so he can get to know your personalities and on the day of the wedding you feel like a natural. Plus you get to capture not one but two amazing photos of you and your loved one :) Him and his assistant Johnathan (shout out to you for also being kick ass and amazing) arrived promptly even before they were asked to, and were very organized and flexible with all of the planning. He was able to fluidly coordinate with our videographer, wedding coordinator and made things move effortlessly and efficiently.

One of my favorite things about him is is humbled confidence and trust in his ability to do the best job possible for every single person. The only thing he requested from us was a family photos list of people we wanted and other than that we didn’t feel the need to tell him exactly what photos to taken, nor did he want us to because he trusted himself to capture what was most important. It was an unspoken language and that is how you know you hired the one. I have no doubt in my mind him and Johnathan captured every beautiful moment of family and friends. He was always right there, but he blended in with such ease and disguise that you never even noticed them being there unless you were really paying attention.

Chris, we absolutely adore you and are so looking forward to having you as our photographer for many years ahead. Thank you for always allowing us to be ourselves and listening to what was important to us. You and Johnathan are one for the books and feel so lucky you too chose to work with us! :)

Absolutely AMAZING!

We hired chris and his team to shoot our wedding and all we can say is AMAZING!!!! They were so friendly and professional to be around during the day. They really went the extra mile to ensure we captured some incredible shots and we were so pleased after the entire day of how great they were to work with and be around. Now, after we received the pictures, OMG!!!! They really know what they are doing. Chris captured such amazing photographs that we will be able to keep forever. The memories captured are priceless and ABSOLUTELY stunning. I cannot say enough good things about Goodeye Photo other then you will not be disappointed if you hire them.

Thank you, chris and team, for making us extremely happy for giving us these amazingly beautiful photos to cherish forever!!!!

Amazing!

Chris was absolutely wonderful!! He helped us to feel and look natural while posing. He was quiet and un-noticeable during our ceremony and that was really important as we were married on the family charter boat. He made our engagement photos look absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to see how our wedding photos turned out. I would recommend him to anyone in need of any type of photography.

Amazing pictures

We are so happy we ended up going with Chris & GoodEye Photographer for our wedding at the Perry House.

We did an engagement session with Chris, which was a great experience as it got us the opportunity to get used to working with him (easy!) and we ended up with awesome pictures to use for our invitations and website.

Chris was critical in helping our wedding go smoothly - we felt like we were in excellent hands the entire time. We had multiple people (especially family) tell us how much they liked the photographer! We especially appreciated how he helped us get through the family formals quickly so we could rejoin the cocktail hour with plenty of time before dinner.

And best of all, we ended up with over 900 edited photos delivered to us only two weeks after the event! Chris captured so many moments beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

Amazing photographer!

I cannot say enough good things about Chris! He photographed our wedding in October and engagement photos in April. If you are in need of a photographer for any event, I highly recommend Chris!

His artistic eye is fantastic! I absolutely love our photos! We lucked out that the weather was great on the day, but it just made the pictures even more wonderful.

He is very easy to work with and communicates with you throughout the entire process.

I would definitely recommend Chris for your photography needs. He is easy to communicate with and is proactive in providing you with all the information you could possibly need without even having to ask. We ended up with over 1,000 edited pictures from our wedding day. I got many compliments from guests about how he was able to capture every moment, they never felt like he was in the way, and he was relaxed and professional. We will enjoy our pictures for years to come.

Chris took our wedding photos (and my sister's too!). Chris is so easy to work with and captures so many beautiful moments. He takes time and is patient with adults and children as they gather for the large group photos. Thank you Chris!!!

We selected Chris of GoodEye Photography for or beach wedding ceremony and reception on March 17th, 2018 at Manresa State Beach. Right from the start Chris was very responsive and professional. He took the time to meet with us on several occasions and went through the whole process. On the day of the wedding he showed up promptly and immediately started taking photographs. Chris didn’t miss anything and captured far more than we expected. His creativity is second to none. We are absolutely pleased with his work and are glad we selected GoodEye Photography. Thank you so much Chris for all you did to capture our special day.

My wife and I got married on June 25, 2017 at The Meritage in Napa, CA and Chris was our photographer. I used to be a wedding photographer in WA and finding the right photographer was always something important for my wedding. After hours of searching and meeting with many photographers, I knew we had found the one when I received an email back from Goodeye and it was full of sarcasm and little hints at his personality. After meeting with Chris and seeing his work, I knew we had found the one. His use of lighting and speed made us confident in his abilities to immortalize our special day. Chris worked with us to get the package and price that was best for us and only 4 weeks later we received over a thousand well shot photos. I will definitely be referring Chris to anyone I know in need of a photographer in the Bay Area. Thanks Chris! Love Nathan & Kayleigh
