CH Photography

As a librarian, research is more than just a job — it's my passion. So when it came time to choose a photographer for our Las Vegas microwedding, I went full detective mode. I scoured websites, combed through social media, analyzed every comment, and read every Google review I could find. By the time our big day rolled around, I felt completely confident that I had hired the best photographer in Vegas. And somehow… Chris Benavides still absolutely blew me away. We had a small wedding — just 11 of us at The Little White Wedding Chapel — but Chris made it feel like a blockbuster event. From the moment he arrived, he elevated our entire day. He doesn’t just take photos; he creates an atmosphere. His unapologetically authentic and energetic personality is both captivating and contagious. He made every second fun — like, genuinely fun. When you think about hiring a wedding photographer, you’re essentially giving up hours of the most important day of your life to this person. Chris made those hours feel like a party. His passion is palpable and omnipresent. He’s like a beacon of joy, constantly creating a swirl of laughter and excitement around him. My family loved him — so much so that, my sister-in-law suggested in our wedding group chat that we invite him to party with us all night. Her comment went crazy with hearts and replies cheering her on. And the photos? I was in awe. Chris worked fast — keeping the energy high while capturing every fleeting, perfect millisecond. His eye for detail and creativity is unmatched. We wanted an old Vegas vibe: simultaneously tacky and glamorous with Elvis and that dazzling glow of Sin City at night. Chris not only delivered — he elevated it. His use of lighting and reflections is downright mesmerizing, and the way he uses tech on the back end to build a final image from multiple shots? It’s mind-blowing. What’s even more impressive is that this highly stylized look we booked is just one of the four distinct styles Chris offers — and he outpaces most photographers who only master one. Chris Benavides didn’t just photograph our wedding — he made it better. He gave us memories wrapped in joy and images that feel like art. If you're looking for a photographer in Vegas and you're lucky enough to snag Chris… consider your day already upgraded.
