Chris J. Evans Photography

ss. He's also really funny. He helped us get into the poses that made for perfect moments and also captured sweet, organic moments between us. I'm so happy we chose Chris to photograph such a special time in our lives. The photos are an ethereal dream -- something we'll be proud to revisit through the years the come. Thank you Chris!

e great direction to the wedding party and family so everything ran smoothly. His assistant Dane even helped the wedding party tie their bow ties.

hey were friendly; funny; enthusiastic and professional. They were beyond wonderful when working with my friends and family to capture our precious moments. The pictures are breathtaking and invoke deep feelings of happiness each time we view them. The pictures are truly a creative expression of our love. We are so grateful to Chris Evans for capturing the most memorable moments of our special day. He is truly the best in the business.

at, Chris showed up early on the day with his second shooter Reise and brought great energy! They did all the setup to shoot us getting ready and were very flexible as I changed to three different outfits throughout the day. I told Chris that I stalked him on Instagram ever since I first booked him more than a year prior to the wedding and he jokingly said his best brides are straight-up insta stalkers ;) you can instantly tell that he loves what he does as a fashion and wedding photographer, he noticed all my fashion choices. He even brought us surprises like the polaroid camera and a smoke bomb and those pictures came out so awesome! He had the best balance of giving directions when my husband and I weren’t sure what to do and just being in the background and capturing real moments for us...if I have a million stars I would give them all to Chris. All my friends are obsessed with my sneak peak pictures already and I can’t wait for the full gallery!!! Thank you again Chris!

he captured who we are at our very best, with jaw-droppingly gorgeous backdrops, poses, and that je ne sais quoi of a true artist’s work. His photos belong on the glossy pages of high fashion magazines; I am continually overwhelmed that I would be featured in them. The photos he took of our wedding are our most prized possessions. When we posted them on social media, we were floored by the overwhelming response and continually told that they were the best wedding photographs our friends and family had ever seen. In addition to producing the most gorgeous shots we have ever seen, Chris is an absolute joy to work with. He is high energy and upbeat, but he makes you feel comfortable and at ease. You feel as though you’ve nailed every shot, because unlike some photographers he does not force anything, correct you, or micromanage. He also makes you comfortable to try shots you would otherwise balk at-- he took many “fierce” high fashion style photos of us that we originally thought we’d never be able to pull off, but ended up being among our very favorites. His experience and expertise shows when with just a few words, he elicits the most unbelievable shots. Even if he hadn’t have given us the stunning photos in the world, I would have been so happy to have had him at our wedding day. He is always fun, complimentary, and dressed to the nines (matching your dress code of course). So many wedding guests told us that he was the best photographer they had ever seen. He has outstanding professionalism, kindness in your every interaction, eagerness to go above and beyond the call of duty, and he returned a simply staggering amount of photos within days of the wedding. When I mentioned who our photographer was to each of our wedding vendors in the area, they all affirmed what a wonderful choice we had made. Chris has a fantastic reputation. Maybe too good-- after working with him, my bridesmaids and engaged guests are now having trouble choosing a photographer in our hometown of Seattle, because they say that no photographer’s portfolio comes even close to the work Chris did at our wedding. Choosing Chris will be the absolute best decision for your wedding. I wish I could rate him higher than this website allows!

Chris was old friend coming back for a reunion. He brings out the best in those around him, and it shows in his work. I am so happy that Chris could be a part of my wedding day! His photos will bring me smiles for years to come.

onal. He is incredibly talented and truly knows how to capture magical moments on camera! Looking through all of our wedding photos previews, we are blown away by how beautiful they all are, the balance between the portraits, candids and dramatic art is amazing! We feel very fortunate that we had the opportunity to work with such an incredible Artist and would recommend Chris and his team as the best photographers for your wedding!

me. We incorporated many “hidden gems” into our overall vision and wanted the photographs to match this spirit. We are so fortunate to have found Chris to take our photographs. He is professional, personable, a great communicator, efficient, adaptable, daring, and most importantly an Artist. The photographs are beautiful. To have some compositions from your special day that have a “Je ne sais quoi” quality to them is a blessing. Thank you Chris !!

th this energy comes a flare for the dramatic in photos, and really captures some fantastic, stand out shots on a day when you're looking and feeling your best. It's great to have memories that really showcase us and bring us back to this day. Chris and his team were so much fun to work with. Both our wedding party and multiple guests commented on how much they enjoyed him and his crew. He provided direction and guidance on poses for what makes a great photograph, yet he was also receptive to any specific photos we requested throughout the process. Chris has been with us since the beginning, even capturing our real-time engagement photos, so he will always be a special part of our journey. We really enjoyed working with Chris and his team! We will be part of the #shakawoocrew for life!

d executed it to perfection - it was romantic and flawless. He maintained a fun atmosphere and definitely reflected in his work. P.S. If you speak Spanish, help him practice! :)

on 8/4/2019. Chris was so fun and easy to work with. The pictures were incredibly beautiful, artistic, and he captured many wonderful moments during our wedding. We couldn’t be happier! Chris, thank you for making our day so special!

few days, he had a bunch of amazing photos of our special day, definitely no regrets, definitely would recommend!

untless weddings and won numerous awards for his work, and it really shows. Hiring him for our wedding was the best decision we made hands down.

rtantly, he is an amazing person who really adds to your wedding day. He knows how to make you genuinely laugh and smile... which makes for a much better picture. His photography skills are unparalleled. We were so amazed when we saw the pictures that he sent us of our wedding day. He captured all of the things that we were feeling that day so that we could remember it forever ( and share with our families) Outstanding work and incredible guy. Thank you!

r venue in Maui, Chris was the first vendor my husband and I booked for our wedding on June 20th. We were impressed by the elegance and beauty of Chris’ images and knew we had to go with him. Our wedding coordinator advised us that photographers (and especially those on Maui) book up quickly so we secured our date about a year out. During the time leading up to our wedding, I followed Chris on social media and continued to be impressed by his work. On the day of our wedding, we had so much fun working with him. How could we not? He’s easygoing and we shared quite a few laughs together. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and Chris was part of that. While it was important to have beautiful images that we will cherish forever, it was equally as important to have someone as engaging, passionate and enthusiastic as him. Chris delivered on all fronts. After the wedding, we received a teaser image less than 24 hours later and a large preview gallery a few hours after that (which was amazing! How many wedding photographers do that?). Thanks once again Chris for being a one-of-a-kind photographer and person…we loved working with you!

see all the teasers he had ready for us two days after the wedding. We highly recommend him.

amily so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Our makeup artist said Chris was "the BEST on the island", and we absolutely saw why...Chris creates magic with his photos and is brilliant to work with. Without question I would recommend Chris to my family, friends and to be honest, anyone that will listen!

s exactly what you need in the most important day of your life! My stress went out the window as soon as we started shooting my pics, it was a fun and lovely experience for me and my husband. Thank you Chris!

oped in, gave very clear and direct instructions, and had us done within a few minutes so it never felt like it was taking away time from the rest of the fun. The directions he gave also really helped a lot; but the candid shots came out great too!

I am an awkward photo taker and I wanted those beautiful wedding shots, Chris was amazing at directing me and telling me little shifts to make in my facial expression, posture, where to look. He has incredible attention to detail (ie one of our groomsmen had stuff in his pockets and Chris had him empty it out... I know that sounds silly but those little things matter in photos). My husband hates posing for photos and Chris was able to put him at ease and help with his posture, hand placement etc.; those photos of him and his groomsmen came out incredible. We will cherish these photos forever. Best of all, Chris sent us our teaser pictures within a couple of days and we are so obsessed with all of the photos so far. Our families are all raving about how beautiful they came out. Don't hesitate to book Chris for your big day, he is truly a gem.

de all of his brides and grooms look, and there is a magical touch to all of his photos. We were blown away at how beautiful his shots come out from our wedding - he and his team truly captured the beauty of the island of Maui and captured moments and memories of our wedding to last forever. We loved how he provided a Sneak Peek right after so we had instant beautiful photos to share with family and friends! He is also the coolest person to work with and he made us feel so comfortable booking him for our destination wedding. He answered all of our questions clearly and was super professional that I knew we made the best choice. Our family and bridal party also loved him and thought he was absolutely amazing. Looking through all of our photos really took us back to our special day - we felt every moment from the beginning to the end. Thank you Chris and team - we couldn't have asked for anything more!

videographer. I had seen his work and fell in love with it. When our day came and we met Chris and his team (“D” and “G”), I immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. They made it feel as if I had known them for years. Not only are they professional, passionate about what they do, they are also incredibly fun to work with. We had a great time taking our photos. I use the term photos very lightly. Chris and his team create art. They are naturals with the camera and make you feel like you’ve been modeling for the camera your entire life. Not only do they have the ability to connect with people and create beautiful artistic images, they also capture the love, heart and soul in each moment of your special day. I am still in awe and love the images they took and highly recommend Chris and his team for any special occasion you might have. I promise, it will be one of the best decisions you make!!!!! Kelly Wedding Date: April 28, 2019 (Four Seasons Maui)

to do my due diligence regarding his work. My fiancée’, now my wife, said that we have to get Chris because his work is amazing and exactly what I want. Knowing my wife’s taste, I figured he would be good. Wow, was I in for a surprise! When I first met Chris, I was really nervous, excited, etc. He came up to me with this big wide smile and introduced himself. He asked me if I was ready and I just looked at him. He said, you are more than ready, you were born ready. I had to chuckle. He was funny, full of energy and very charismatic. He had this Magical way of making everyone feel at ease, which resulted in the biggest most natural smile ever. He would look at you and say, “laugh hysterically” and you’d laugh crazily. He would then say, “look at me and laugh at me hysterically.” I never had a photographer use this approach, but when I saw the proofs it was amazing how everyone had a big, happy, natural looking smile. I personally do not like having my picture taken by anyone. I’m very critical of myself and always look like I have a fake or forced smile. When I saw the pictures, there wasn’t one that I didn’t like. My smile and everyone else’s smile were so natural looking. Chris’s smile and energy were contagious. He was always running around to get in the best position possible for natural shots. For the stage shots, he was so good at positioning everyone from head to toe. I’ve never worked with a photographer like Chris. Most wedding photographers that I’ve encountered have been more behind the scene and only came out for group photos. Chris was in our face and around us at all times. I mean that in a great way. He was right there for every important moment. I couldn’t believe it. I kept saying, “Honey, this guy is amazing.” We had sunset pictures taken on the beach and when I saw the first proof of them, I couldn’t believe it. He captured everything in perfect form including the sunset and the clouds in the sky. They were stunning, magical. His work is very professional, high quality and full of magic, which is all part of his charisma. Our wedding day was flawless and now we have the best pictures that will remind us every day of how great it was.

er she did. Chris was absolutely incredible! He mastered making us feel comfortable, listening to our wants and needs and kept the utmost professionalism throughout our day. He sent us a “sneak peek” of 100+ Edited photos the day after we were married! The time and effort he put in to make our day so special is something we will remember forever. Thank you will never be enough, but there truly is no better than you, Chris.

e is supervising all of them to make sure all moments are captured. He showed up early for my wedding day and just started shooting. He is very friendly, funny, patient and pays attentions to your body poses and postures. Him being funny helped me to be less nervous for our First Look cause he was just making me laugh. He even brought small lights to light up my shoes, and ring on the table for the pictures which i thought was amazing and made them look super sparkly. All my guest liked him and his team as well which was very important to my husband and I. We Highly recommend him and he is must to have on your special day!

his team made us feel comfortable and beautiful. The preview photos he sent us are amazing and imaginative; NOT the overdone, overexposed other stuff you see online. Chris is clearly passionate about what he does, with a great eye for detail. We would choose him again and rave about him to all others.

ws what he is doing! I loved the preview photos he sent us the very next day so send my family!!! Highly recommended!!! Thank you Chris for everything!

fe and I a preview of 75 pictures 2 days after the wedding. Of course, the pictures looked amazing! I could not recommend Chris highly enough. I didn't think that I really cared about our photographer until I met Chris. You will not regret booking him!

is shoot the getting ready shots, and Dane shot Mitch's getting ready shots. Mitch said he really liked Dane and I couldn't be happier with how their photos turned out. He posted the guys so we'll, such frame worthy photos! While I was getting ready with my ladies, Chris was capturing my beauty moments, my jewlery and details, and then came time for me in my dress! I am not someone who takes photos that well. I have one pose and the same smile/ head tilt for ever photo I have ever taken. I told Chris ahead of time he will have to help a bit and told him my "good side" is my left (which he kept in mind for the rest of the day)haha. He made everyone feel so comfortable and like we were all having fun. He helped/directed me with ease into the most stunning poses in my dress and the rest of the day! One of my favorite things while getting ready was the view I had! And without even telling Chris, he captured the image I still have in my mind of the beautiful ocean and my ceremony being set up below us. He made sure to tell me a head of time where he wanted me to look, and what to do when we were coming down the isle to get that "money shot" of the most celebratory "we just got married" photo. Afterwards was family photos and then the night went on as planned. Within a day we had four of some of the best photos sent to us as "teasers". And then more a day after our second day shoot. I HIGHLY recommend the second day shoot!!! We picked two days after, which I would suggest if you can, so you have the next day to relax and recouped from your wedding. We decided on the second day shoot package so we could have more time with our guests, and get more beautiful photos like the ones he has on his Instagram! One of my favorite things of our whole wedding week in Hawaii was this shoot with just Chris and my husband! It was time we had to our selves and he got to capture the best photos we have ever taken! Chris picked the location, beautiful cliff/rock formations with the powerful ocean sprays in the background, two huge sea turtles floating near by, and to finish it off, our epic dancing into the sunset photo. It was truly special. I could not thank Chris enough for making our wedding so memorable, and making us feel and look amazing!

ey professional and highly skilled, but they were personable and great at getting everyone to really be themselves behind the lens. During the entire wedding day, I was able to be fully present and take in EVERY moment. I never felt like anyone got in the way, or like any moment was “rehearsed” or “staged”. Our guests loved Chris and his team as well!! They were funny and felt like a part of the family. We can’t wait to get back to the islands for our next shoot with Chris!

am of... but the day of, I felt every photograph was more, WAY more! Not only is Chris one the most kind and interesting people you will ever meet, he is the ultimate artist when it comes to capturing the most beautiful seconds of time. I’ve only seen a few shots through the camera the day of, but those photos changed my world and blew my mind to the point of happy tears!! Thank you for capturing our day Chris! There is no other photographer. Period.

experience. The number one thing my wife raved about was his (and his teams’) ability to connect and keep her calm the day of. No joke, she said that if Chris didn’t even take a single photo, the mere fact that he was able to keep her calm on a hectic day was priceless. I personally love Chris’ style, edge, and touch of fashion/glamour that is signature of his style — a rare thing to come by if you’re not on the mainland. Book Chris now — you won’t regret it. (We booked him for an enagagement session, wedding photography, and wedding videography)

e on our photographer and videographer because once the wedding was over, that is what we would have to remember and relive this special day. Our wedding planner (Tropical Maui Weddings) gave us a list of highly qualified photographers but Chris' work really stood out to us because of his ability to capture both simple, elegant moments in soft light and dramatic, beautiful moments at dusk. This alone, made the decision easy (not mention is glowing reviews)! The day of the wedding he brought his assistant Nick. We were nervous because we didn't get to do an engagement shoot or meet Chris and his team before our actual wedding day so felt it could be awkward having a stranger capture such intimate moments on such an important today. Once we met Chris and Nick all of those fears vanished. They just have a presence about them that immediately put everyone at ease but also got everyone so excited for the day to come. I would say this is what truly made him stand out from any other photographer we've met. I had told them that my husband will likely struggle with having to take pictures for hours that day (as many grooms do) and he was so attentive to that, helping encourage him throughout the day and telling jokes to keep things light hearted. At the end of the day, my husband agreed, Chris and Nick were worth every penny! The positive energy Chris brings, his ability to make his clients feel at ease (especially after just meeting them), his humor that keeps you laughing throughout what is usually a very long, tiring day are all just the icing on the cake. He has such a passion and eye for his craft that he truly strives to master. Also, he had teasers out to us 3 days after the wedding, which I thought was incredible! We could not be happier with how smooth the day went and how beautiful our pictures turned out! Thank you Chris and Nick for such an amazing experience and for beautiful photos that will help us relive our big day until we're old and gray!

otos with them. Chris' work was icing on our big day and they are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Thanks Chris! We hope to see you again when we return for our 1 year anniversary! :) Mahalo!

nto the shots. He is passionate, professional and extremely skilled. Would do again!

to hire and I absolutely cannot wait to see all of the photos!!! The sneak previews we’ve seen so far are simply mind blowing, spectacular and exactly everything we were hoping for. As the bride, everything day of moves sooo fast that I will depend a million percent on Chris and his team’s recording of the event for my memories - and I know it will be perfection. Hire them!!!!!

edding venue. Chris is top notch and very professional. I would hire him again anytime.

ll us what to do and how to do it - turn your head this way, put your leg over here, etc. He put us right at ease and made the whole experience fun and very comfortable. The photos came back breathtakingly beautiful! I would highly recommend him!

orial flair. But most importantly, we felt very comfortable with him, which is so important in order to build the right chemistry on camera, to feel natural, and be genuinely happy in photos! Chris is a true professional and a great person as well. Thanks so much again, Chris!

, who is extremely professional and his entire crew were super friendly to work with and chill with all the guests. Chris reached out before our trip to chat about the vibe we were looking for. On the day of, Chris and his team arrived punctually, started shooting the dresses, rings and the venue while we were getting ready, then the whole day went very organized just as we’ve discussed before and efficient; there’s nothing more important than that, because we did have a tight timeline and we wished to capture the most of our big day. We wanted someone with experience photographing at our venue Haiku mill and Chris is exactly who we looked for. He is very talented with unique ideas of where to take shots and in combination of lighting at different times of the day, we got many shots that are both sweet and elegant which fits the venue very well. His night shots are also magnificant, I wish we could have more night portraits. My husband and I are not the most photogenic couple, but Chris made us comfortable in front of the camera and guided us with poses that were simple for us yet with great angles, we got some very stylish and fashioned shots like cover photos. The preview of pictures were ready before the end of our trip so we could share with our family and friends immediatly after the wedding. We were lucky to have Chris to be our memory keeper, the day was productive with photography and filming, not one minute wasted. I would recommend him to anyone who looks for creativity, artistic style and a special experience. We can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures and video.

isappointed. Our initial decision was based on his previous work, he seemed creative and interesting, more than just capturing the same old the pictures we are all accustomed to. We are not the most photogenic and thought we might require his direction, I’m honestly never again going to look as good as I do in one of Chris’ pictures. And while he certainly fulfilled all expectations and criteria for which we had selected him, my recommendation for Chris goes beyond this. Your wedding is a special day and photography/videography should be chosen with that in mind, it is one of the most important decisions you will make for your wedding. Chris really insisted to meet us before the actual day, he wanted to get a chance to know us. He is really a people person, and while professionally he is amazing, what really sets him apart is his ability to blend into your day, to connect with bride, groom, wedding party, all guests and to really make your day special. I just don’t think you are going to get that type of feeling with all photographers, it’s not just business with Chris, he wants to make sure it’s one of the most memorable days of your life and you can tell he feels personally responsible in that. He won’t let you down. He showed up early, brought an outstanding crew, shot longer than he was supposed to, had a detailed plan and timeline of pictures we could take and delivered more preview pics in a faster time frame than he promised. Thank you very much Chris for helping make Sep 18th such a special day for us, memories to last a lifetime. Can’t wait to get the videos and full gallery.

from the beginning. Chris is incredibly original in his style. He is engaging and professional, making for a very easy-going and fun experience. He brings a level of creativity to wedding photography that we had never seen before, nor imagined was even an option. Chris was very punctual and made great use of every moment he was on site. From the pre-ceremony shots, detail documentation, ceremony, family shots, reception cake, dinner, and a spectacular waterfront sunset shoot of just the two of us, Chris captured it all…and then some! We are forever grateful for the small moments throughout the day that he was able to capture. With everything going on, we would have never been able to see them otherwise. We are not the most comfortable couple in front of a camera, but Chris was able to create an environment where we were both relaxed. He always had a vision for what he wanted out of each shot, and was able to clearly communicate what he wanted us to do to make those visions come to life. His work speaks for itself – the effects he achieves with strategic positioning and lighting are breathtaking, and look effortless. You can tell how experienced Chris is by how well he can blend right into the event. When we were finished taking sunset shots, we hardly notice he was still there, getting great material well through the night. Besides how easy Chris made the actual wedding day for us, we greatly appreciated that in less than a week he had an entire preview package with a ton of shots for us to see and share with our friends and family. Since our wedding was far from home, all of our friends and family who were unable to make it have been able to feel as though they were there through Chris’s photographs. All of his work has brought so much love and happiness back home. We honestly can say there were no drawbacks in working with Chris and would recommend him to anyone seeking a very professional and uniquely creative photographer for any event.

compliments from our friends. Chris can turn anybody into celebrity! :-)
