Authentic memories captured

Not only are Chris' photos stunning, but he had a knack for documenting the special moments and subtle interactions that made our wedding ours. I look back at my photos and remember all the moments that were warm, solemn, hilarious, anticipatory, exciting, and beautiful. He truly captured the range of emotions and personalities and I will treasure the photos forever.

So glad we chose Chris!

Chris did an incredible job with our wedding photography and we would recommend him to anyone we know. There were unique moments, big and small, that were special on that day, and thanks to Chris, we are able to see them in the pictures!

Chris was amazing on our big day! He spent the entire day, from early morning to early evening capturing every important memory. He was so fun and kind, and every guest complimented how he interacted with them in such a professional way. Our photos are amazing! We would recommend Chris to any bride and groom!

Award-Winning Down-to-Earth Photographer's Photographer

Chris' photos from our wedding 17 years ago are still cherished today. He's a super-down-to-earth photographer's photographer with an immaculate eye for documenting the big moments, but it's his ability to capture the small gestures that set him apart for me.

He's also funny and caring as all get out. I'd invite him to my wedding again, even if he wasn't photographing it. Highly recommend!

Friendly, Attentive, Artistic

Chris is an extremely personable person and photographer. He has a distinct ability to capture your personality as well. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. I love how he utilizes natural light. His photographs are beautiful, artistic, and truly unique.

Incredibly Talented & Professional Photographer

We were so happy to have Chris photographing our wedding. We both love his style as a photographer with his more journalistic or documentarian approach to getting great candid shots of the wedding party and our guests. Not that he isn’t completely capable of handling the standard friends and family lineup shots, too, of course, but his friendly yet straightforward and unobtrusive method captures candid moments full of personality and atmosphere much more effectively than many more traditional wedding photographers could. It was great having him “embedded” with us if you will for a couple of days to record so much, so vibrantly and so effectively. I can heartily recommend Chris as a skillful, creative and professional photographer with an excellent eye for those details you really want to be preserved.

Go with Chris!

Chris immediately put my husband and I at ease. We weren't used to getting photos taken, but he helped settle into the practice.
Our photos were amazing and family/friends continue to compliment us on them. We wanted truely great photos with minimal filters, which he nailed. He captured all of our special moments. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Personalized perfection

Chris met with us at various points beforehand to truly understand what we wanted from our special day. He suggested things we hadn’t even thought of. His experience as a photo journalist added a unique flair which we were delighted by when we got our photos. We can’t say enough about Chris and Silk City Photo.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
