  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!

  The BEST photographer!!!

  I can’t say enough amazing things about Chaz. Besides his incredible talent, he is such an amazing and warm person to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and really cared about what we wanted. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid, and he was so accommodating and made us feel calm during such a chaotic time. Our photos came out STUNNING!! He delivers everything promised and more. We are so grateful to Chaz and his team for the beautiful memories we now have to look back on!!

  Amazing, Epic, The Absolute Best

  My husband and I knew we wanted Chaz to be our photographer before we knew any other detail. We have only heard amazing things, from both wedding industry professionals and friends who also hired him. From the start, Chaz was incredible. We had multiple meetings leading up to the event, making sure he had a clear understanding of every element. His website and team make it super easy to fill out any worksheets/information they needed in order to help Chaz bring our vision to life. We honestly became friends with Chaz and loved him prior to actually meeting him in person on our big day as a result of all the work he put into getting to know us.
  The day could not have been more perfect. He made us feel like models, and all of our guests raved about how awesome he was. He made taking pictures not feel like work, and actually had a lot of fun throughout. We have only seen the sample pictures (so far) and are they far exceeded our expectations. Hiring Chaz Cruz was without a doubt the best decision we made, and we plan to hire him again for all of our future milestone events.

  Chaz Brings the Magic

  I cannot give Chaz enough praise. First off, he is the sweetest and most genuine dude. He makes you feel so comfortable. My husband and I both hate posing for photos, but Chaz made those moments joyful and fun. You can see it all in the results. The photos are personal, gorgeous, and unpretentious. I could not be happier. Chaz has an amazing eye for detail and was able to capture so many special moments that I feel could have been lost to memory with someone else's lens. This is the person you want to be at your wedding to preserve the magic of it all.

  Chaz = legend

  Chaz is INCREDIBLE. He goes far above and beyond to get to know you as a couple and understand the day's highlights to capture the most special moments. His style is sleek, unobtrusive, efficient, and fun. The pictures he took are far beyond our wildest expectations and easy to access/share from his well-designed website. We can't recommend him highly enough!

  Go with Chaz Cruz for your wedding. You won't regret it! ... Chaz and his team took the pictures for our summer 2017 wedding in the Hudson Valley. We were introduced to him by a mutual friend who's a photographer herself; she said "I'd have sold one of my limbs to have Chaz shoot my wedding, except that he wasn't available." That seemed a bit hyperbolic, but once we started working with Chaz--and certainly when we got our photo portfolio after the wedding-- we totally understood why she recommended him so unreservedly. Chaz has an incomparable eye; he's organized and easygoing; his manner is disarming, positive, and light with the unique situations that come with family wedding pictures. He uses a pre-wedding survey that helped our conversation with him move smoothly, and also helped my husband and me ask our own more-detailed questions for our own planning purposes. He integrated well with the rest of our vendor team. He and his teammate Brian simply kicked ass on our wedding day, which included a surprise torrential thunderstorm that blew away our table settings and upended our planned itinerary. Somehow, Chaz and Brian captured everything beautifully, and at the same time were present to us and our needs and felt like reassuring friends who were there for us (Chaz helped me tie my neck-tie too). When the storm started, I have a distinct memory of Brian coming to find me and putting a cocktail in my hand. Yes! ... Our other vendors are as thrilled with the photos as we are. Best of all, along the journey, we found a real friend in Chaz, and that easy, friendly demeanor is I'm sure a key to what makes his photo work so damn good. Thank you, Chaz!

  My husband and I had the most wonderful experience working with Chaz for our wedding and can't possibly recommend him enough. As a person, Chaz is warm, friendly and enthusiastic. He was also so much more modest than some of the other photographers who had half of his talent. We loved him immediately and, within seconds of meeting him, we knew that we'd love to spend our special day (and a few others, like our engagement shoot) with him and his team.
  
  If you have seen Chaz's photos, you already know that he's a super star. He has an amazing eye for capturing the essence of his clients. Every single person who saw our wedding and engagement photos said that they were so personal and natural, as if they were getting a glimpse into what we were like when we were alone. And we felt the same way. We never thought that someone could capture our relationship as beautifully as Chaz did and we are so grateful to have so many gorgeous photos to cherish throughout our lives together.
  
  We highly recommend working with Chaz and hope to do some more shoots with him in the future!!

  From the moment we first met Chaz, we just had a good feeling about him. He's friendly, generous and enthusiastic, not to mention incredibly talented. We knew from looking at his work that our photos would be phenomenal, but we probably under-estimated just how great he would be to work with on the day of. He wrangled our large families beautifully -- making it fun for the kids and comfortable for the older folks. And his infectious spirit really helped us get in the spirit of being at the center of the attention, which was not exactly our comfort zone.
  
  Most importantly, Chaz got US -- our sensibility and our style and he did a really brilliant job at both capturing the shots we wanted but also adapting his signature style to suit us. We can not recommend Chaz more enthusiastically - hire him!

  What can we say about Chaz? I should say, what can't we say about Chaz?! He was so awesome that we feel we've gained a friend throughout our wedding planning. Personality was a HUGE factor when we chose all our vendors and we knew Chaz was a perfect fit. His work has already gotten so many compliments from our family and friends and we couldn't be happier. He is so talented as well as business professional which is a perfect combination. He knows what he's doing and knows how to get the job done without sacrificing any of his artistic creativeness. I can't wait to see the work he did at our wedding, but from the turn out of our engagement shoot, I know I will LOVE every single photo. There were so many amazing shots already that I can't even imagine what the photoshopped ones will turn out like. Highly recommend him to everyone and I can't wait to hire him for our pregnant shoot, family photos, etc!!

  No matter what I write about Chaz and his photography, our wedding photos speak for themselves. I've gotten so many comments about how my photographer did such an amazing job capturing the romance and beauty of our wedding... And not only are the pictures gorgeous, I believe even our personalities come through in them. I think most people planning a wedding have qualms about spending so much for a photographer, but I can positively say now that Chaz was worth every penny (and then some). Besides, his prices are comparable to many other photographers I researched before going with Chaz.
  
  Chaz was a great pleasure to work with, before, at the wedding, and afterwards. He's very friendly, very easy-going, and very professional. He made connections with many people at the wedding too! He gives no time limit to his work with you on the big day, which I thought was great. He works with you as long as needed to get the photos he thinks will turn out the best. His turnaround on getting your slideshow done is so quick! I look at our slideshow almost everyday :D I really expect to work with Chaz again in the future for any other professional photography needs that we may have! Thanks, Chaz!
