WOW- Chris Evans. Where do I even begin? HANDS DOWN THE BEST. THE ULTIMATE WEDDING SLAYER.
He made all of my elopement photography dreams come true and as an added bonus, he was an absolute blast to work with. Once my magical day came to an end, and the decades pass, we have our photos to look back on so I knew that I was willing to do whatever to ensure that I had the best in the business.
On the day of our wedding, he wasted no time in starting to shoot. We were late to our ceremony which can be slightly anxiety inducing, and he made the experience so memorable, I didn’t care to be fashionably late. He brought the energy, all the good energy, for our day! He loves love and you can tell by the crispness in his quality of work, and the level of attention he gives to the event. He dresses professionally and brings his whole self. You might even get luck to hear about his beautiful family and 22yrs of marriage to his wife.
I can’t say enough good things about Chris and I hope to work with him again in some capacity. He is 10/10, 5 stars, AMAZING!
Mahalo for the great laughs and memorable day! KEEP SLAYIN’
Having Chris & his team capture our wedding day was truly a dream. Making sure we chose the right photographer was one of the most important decisions to us & was definitely the decision we were most most stressed about - we wanted to get it right! From the initial phone call we had upon meeting Chris, we knew he was (with 100% certainty) the one for us. Chris was so personable and easy to talk to. He shared a ton of great advice & we actually drew a lot of inspiration for the wedding from that initial conversation. From that phone call on, we felt such relief & were nothing but excited about having Chris capture our day!
On the day of the wedding, all of our guests were so impressed with the team's energy, guidance and talent. They were such a fun yet professional group. Chris was so comforting & was everything we needed in each and every moment.
Both our love & the entire essence of our wedding was so beautifully captured. We have photos that we've always dreamed of & will cherish them forever. We truly look forward to reliving our special day several times over as we enjoy going through our album in the years to come. We are so thankful to have been connected with Chris & couldn't possibly recommend him highly enough!
The difference between Chris and every other photographer is that he creates the picture you are envisioning. He tells your how to stand, shift your weight, tilt your head, and you are magically transformed into a model. Our wedding photos are so spectacular that they will be featured in California Wedding Day Magazine. Chris is incredibly talented and also just a super fun, positive person you want to have around on your wedding day. He artistically captured the essence of our wedding and we feel so lucky and appreciative to have worked with him.
We researched the best photographers in Maui and quickly realized Chris and his team were the best. We asked him to take our engagement photos in San Francisco last minute and he was super cooperative and scheduled us in! I was super nervous and awkward about taking pictures but he was so easy going, funny, upbeat, and made us feel comfortable right away. At the wedding, he was so good at helping everything run smoothly and our parents and bridal party couldn't stop raving about our photographers. We're so thankful and happy Chris was our photographer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
STRONGLY RECOMMEND
Picking Chris as our photographer was the best decision we made. During planning I had many people tell me "oh, you'll only ever want 2-3 great shots from your wedding, just go for a cheap option or find a student" - that is SO WRONG. Photos are your most vivid and lasting memories, it's important they capture just how incredible your day was.
We have phenomenal pictures of our wedding all over our house. It was also great to be able to send family and friends perfect shots with them, too and not just have a couple of good ones to select from. ALL of our photos are frameable.
There isn't a moment from our wedding that wasn't captured beautifully in a photo. We have a wonderful mix of stylistic, classic, and artsy pictures to choose from. While I have many photos around the house I look through our entire wedding album constantly because all of the pictures are so perfect and bring me so much joy.
Chris has an awesome personality. Even my guests commented to me how great he was. He's really good at engaging people, setting up great shots in an informal way, and getting people to relax and bring out their best. Some photographers have too much personality (IMO) and overtake a party. Chris and his staff were perfect.
Chris took our elopement photos in Maui. He was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He has an upbeat, positive attitude and really takes any nerves away from the process. 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!
Chris was great to work with! He was on time, flexible once he arrived. He also photographed our rehearsal dinner. We love our pictures, especially our sunset beach photos! He gave great direction to the wedding party and family so everything ran smoothly. His assistant Dane even helped the wedding party tie their bow ties.
Many thanks and appreciation for an amazing experience. Chris Evans was able to capture our wedding day perfectly. Chris and his assistant were amazing from start to finish, as they 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.
I can’t say enough great things about Chris! I am just so grateful and lucky that he was our wedding photographer and the one who captured all the amazing moments. Right from the bat, 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!
Choosing Chris as our wedding photographer elevated what was already the best day of our lives into an exquisite, unforgettable masterpiece. His photos are absolutely breathtaking; 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 is an incredible photographer! His photos are perfectly composed, technically flawless, and they truly capture the joy in every moment. We had only just met, but it felt like 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.
We are so happy that we chose Chris and his team to do your wedding photography! He made our special day so perfect and the entire experience from start to finish was very professional. 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!
My bride and I are generally low key people, but when it came to our wedding we really wanted to give a special effort to find and add elements that we would remember for a lifetime. 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 !!
Chris has an amazing energy and enthusiasm for his work. You can really feel his passion for photography and genuine interest and enjoyment of the couples he works with.
Along with 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!
Absolutely stunning photos, warm and professional demeanor, wonderful experience all around!
Chris J. Evans and his team captured our wedding in Haiku Mill. His experience with wedding and fashion shoots made everything progress seamlessly. Chris communicated his vision and 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! :)
Chris and his team were spectacular! They definitely love what they do, it’s apparent in the energy they bring to day of event! We hired them for our destination wedding in Maui 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!
We chose him because his photos were artistic, looked magical. He showed up with great energy, down to earth, happy person. He has a great staff that works with him and within a few days, he had a bunch of amazing photos of our special day, definitely no regrets, definitely would recommend!
Chris is the best photographer I've ever encountered. He made everyone feel relaxed and yet gave just the right amount of direction to make all the photos pop. He's photographed countless 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.
My husband and I just got married at the Four Seasons resort in Maui. Chris was on the preferred vendors list, and I’m so glad that he is the photographer that we chose. Most importantly, 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!
The quick review: Chris and his team are phenomenal and I 100% recommend them. Book Chris J. Evans Photography while you can!
The longer review: After choosing Haiku Mill as our 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!
Chris was great to work with! We had a blast shooting with him. He knew exactly what he was doing and what kind of lighting needed to make the pictures awesome. We were excited to see all the teasers he had ready for us two days after the wedding. We highly recommend him.
Chris and his team are the BEST OF THE BEST! So professional and full of energy! From turning up in a suit on the day to making our entire bridal party as well as our friends and family 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!
ohh my goodness, where do I start? Chris and his crew were fantastic! His work is stunning, my pictures look fantastic! He makes you feel very confident and comfortable, and that’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!
Chris was fantastic to work with and got some amazing shots of our wedding. I really appreciated the both the quality of the output, and the efficiency during the process-- he swooped 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!
Wow where do I start... working with Chris was one of the highlights of our wedding day. He is so funny, charming and most importantly knows how to direct and capture great shots. 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.
Chris Evans made my photography dreams come true and more! I instantly fell in love with his style when searching for a wedding photographer. I loved how elegant and graceful he made 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!
My now husband and I got married in Maui at the Four Seasons this April. From the minute we booked our wedding, I knew I wanted Chris Evans and his team to be our photographers and 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!!!!!

Wedding Date: April 28, 2019 (Four Seasons Maui)
What can I say? I have to be honest. I had no idea who Chris J. Evans was up until the day of the wedding. I was buried with work for the last two weeks before and didn’t have time 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.
WOW! Chris and his team truly blew us away. Doing a destination wedding in Maui we didnt exactly know who to pick, but our wedding planner led us to Chris and we could NOT be happier 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.
I worked with Chris for my wedding in Four Seasons Maui and I have to Give him ultimate FIVE STAR review. He has an excellent team and they are all professionals. At all the time he 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!
Highly recommended! Chris was such a pleasure to work with at our wedding. He is professional, fun and charismatic. My husband and I don't love photos of ourselves, but Chris and 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.
Chris was amazing to work with on my wedding day! He captured beautiful/wonderful photos of my special day! He was professional while also fun to work with! He is creative and knows 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!
I was the groom and hate having my picture taken. Chris made the process very light, easy, and fun to have our pictures taken. I dare say I even had fun doing it!
Chris and his team were fantastic. I was not too excited about the idea of having to take a bunch of pictures, but Chris made it so fun and did a phenomenal job. He also sent my wife 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!
Chris and Dane(his assistant) did such an amazing job photographing our wedding day! My husband(Mitch) and I got ready in separate rooms for the morning and afternoon, so I had Chris 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!
Chris and his team were AWESOME! From the rehearsal dinner, and throughout the entire wedding day, they captured every magical moment we could have ever dreamt of! Not only were they 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!
From the moment I met Chris, I felt like I was overwhelmed with the sense of comfort knowing my wedding day was going to be captured in the most beautiful of ways a girl could dream 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.
Chris and his team are amazing! Not only does he have talent, skill, and flawless execution, but his personality and instant connection made photography with him truly an awesome 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)
Chris is by far one of the most talented wedding photographers we've seen and we were so honored to have him capture our wedding!
From the get go, we knew we would splurge a little 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!
My husband and I cannot express enough thanks to Chris and his team for the work they did to make our wedding memorable! Our family and friends' jaws dropped when we shared our photos 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!
Chris and his team know what they are doing!!! I don't know how to put this more elegantly. They f**n rock! Good at getting proper organized and injected a good amount of fire into the shots. He is passionate, professional and extremely skilled. Would do again!
Chris and his team were so awesome even our guests made comments about how great they were - hands down the best photo crew I’ve ever worked with. I’m soooo happy with our decision 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!!!!!
Chris was amazing! He and his assistant Zane made our guest feel comfortable and did an awesome Job of taking pictures of them while Erwin and I were off getting shots around our wedding venue. Chris is top notch and very professional. I would hire him again anytime.
We had so much fun getting our pictures taken with Chris, especially after the wedding ceremony when we went down to the beach at sunset. Chris has so much experience and would tell 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!
Chris is awesome!! My fiancée and I really enjoyed our e-session with him and are looking forward to having him shoot our upcoming wedding! We love Chris’ shooting style and editorial 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!
We had our destination wedding just a week ago on Maui, we were a bit nervous prior to it because everything was planned remotely, but it turned out beyond perfect. Thanks to 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.
Chris exceeded all our expectations. After carefully reviewing several possibilities we chose Chris to shoot both photography and video for our wedding at Haiku Mill. We were not disappointed. 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.
Words cannot express how appreciative and thankful we are to have had Chris photograph our wedding in Maui. His portfolio, filled with high-fashion, dramatic shots, caught our eye 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.
My husband and I were so lucky to work with Chris! He is absolutely amazing and has a great sense of style. Our wedding photos are beyond what I have dreamed for and we got so many compliments from our friends. Chris can turn anybody into celebrity! :-)
I am still speechless when it comes to our wedding photos! Chris is incredibly talented and as a result our wedding photos are stunning! People continue to ask us if the photographer used special effects, no that was actual rain on our wedding day and a very creative photographer. Our wedding was magical and Chris captured every moment perfectly!
Chris and his team are such great people, they have made our day so easy! I can't tell you how many wedding guests told us how great Chris is! His photography skills is tiptop!
Chris photographed our wedding in Maui in September 2018. I must say, I was a little nervous because photos were a huge deal to us and we hadn’t met Chris, we had chosen him after seeing his fantastic portfolio. But let me tell you, we made the best decision! Not only are the photos beautiful and extremely artistic but Chris himself was awesome to work with. Neither of us are models but he made us feel so comfortable and guided us in the positions that are most flattering while keeping it extremely fun. I didn’t realize before being a bride how much time the photos actually take but Chris and his assistant Nick made it entertaining. I heard from many guests how they were so impressed with his ability to connect and capture the crowd, it’s truly remarkable. I’d recommend Chris and his team in an instant.
Chris is the most AMAZING photographer i’ve ever worked with! If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding or other special occasion, look no further!! This guy is the real deal. I give him my seal of approval, 100%.
I've known Chris since he moved to the island. He was the first decision we made planning the wedding. On the day of, Chris and his team were easy to work with and captured the beauty of our day. The photos are unbelievable. Working with Chris truly added to our day.
Don’t even waste your time looking for another photographer.. Chris and his team are literally the best! We are usually so awkward in pictures and yet Chris made us and everyone in our wedding look STUNNING. He is so fun and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also captured every detail and now when we look back at our photos we feel as though we are getting to relive our day. Thank you so much Chris and your whole crew for making our wedding that much more special!
Chris is best in the industry and surely the best in Maui! My wife wanted specific style of photography and I wanted another style and Chris was able to deliver to both of our tastes and styles. I really enjoy Chris' editorial shots and we got some amazing dramatic shots while my wife liked the simple and elegant shots that Chris delivered. His team was nothing less than great on the day of - giving us clear direction, but also being super cool and helped direct the flow of guests and the procession. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone anywhere!
Chris was AWESOME and AMAZING! He's the ultimate professional. Truthfully, at first we were worried because Chris' price is top tier, but we got better photos than we can ever have dreamed of. All of our friends and family have commented on how great our photos turned out and wished they had used someone like Chris. Chris spends the time to get the perfect shot with the perfect backdrop. He doesn't rush anything and is always thinking of creative ideas to get more unique shots. The best thing about Chris that you will not find with anyone else are his surprises. He has something special for the bride and groom that makes his photos one of a kind and will leave a memory of a lifetime. I assume the surprises are different every time, so I don't want to ruin it. Chris even gave up his shoes to my wife to walk on lava when she couldn't do it in her heels. He just went barefoot. If you go with Chris, I guarantee you will not regret it. Additionally Chris is very responsive, always answering questions quickly. Thank you Chris for making it so seamless. We are sad that we can only do it once.
My husband and I had our fingers crossed when booking Chris a year before our wedding date and were ecstatic to find that he was available for our 8/8/18 wedding. Fast forward a year later and we couldn't be happier. Chris and his team were amazing to work with and extremely professional. On time and on cue at every moment from start to finish. Not only is Chris an amazingly talented artist, but he is a really sweet guy :) We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for engagement or wedding photos. He is a lover of his craft and it shows in the results. Mahalo!
My fiance and I had a destination engagement shoot with Chris while we were vacationing in Maui. From the very beginning, Chris was really easy to work with. He arranged a brief phone call before our trip to make sure everyone was on the same page about our expectations and what we were looking for. He was always responsive to all our emails and thoroughly answered every question we had about our upcoming shoot. When we finally met with him in Maui, we were blown away by his professionalism. It was obvious from the get-go that he's passionate about his work. He was fun, engaging, and paid a lot of attention to various aspects of photography including setting, composition, poses, and lighting. He made us feel at ease and comfortable. We had some trouble looking for parking spaces at one of the two locations we shot at and it took up a lot of the booked time (1-hour), but Chris did not rush us to complete the rest of the session. It was apparent that he wanted perfection even if it meant we had to go over time. We received our photos within five weeks and were truly amazed by the quality of the photos. Chris definitely has a creative edge. We were so impressed that we decided to hire him for our wedding in California. Chris was kind enough to waive the travel fee for us, which again says so much about his professionalism and passion for his work. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, but he also truly cares about all his clients on a personal level. He will go above and beyond to make your shoot and photos memorable and remarkable. I have already recommended him to many of our friends and colleagues. Thank you, Chris! We can't wait to work with you again on our wedding day!
My fiance and I were lucky to find Chris and work with him for our engagement shoot. I was worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera but Chris easily guided us along the way into amazing compositions. He is truly a master of his craft. After seeing our engagement photos, we had no choice but to book him for our upcoming wedding as well!
My husband and I could not have been more thrilled with Chris Evans. From the moment he arrived at the venue on our wedding day, despite having just met him, he immediately put us both, and all of our family and friends, at ease. It is clear that he has a passion for not just taking photos, but for capturing all of the incredible memories made at a wedding, in the most meaningful way possible. In addition, he has such a wonderful sense of people, and depending on their personality, how best to work with them and how best to capture them. He made my husband and I, each member of the wedding party, and our family and friends, feel special, and excited to be involved in making tangible memories of such an important day. He is wonderful with children, a unique population with which to work, and one needs only look at the incredible photos of our flower girls and ring bearer to understand what I mean. When our “teaser” album arrived, we were blown away by the quality of the images, and the emotions that they evoked. He truly captured our day. When we look at the photos, we are transported back to all of the incredible events, feelings, sights, and sounds that comprised our wedding. We can’t wait to see the full album! Finally, Chris stayed and worked beyond the hours of photography we’d purchased, just to ensure he captured all of our significant day. He did not charge us, and this is yet another reason why it is so very clear that Chris is passionate about his work, and his clients. Thank you Chris!
Chris is marvelous to work with. You can tell that his skills and process are flawless, and he quickly gets the shots you need to commemorate your moments forever.
Just as important is the fact that he and his team actually earnestly really enjoy working with happy couples at weddings - it's not just another job for them! They care, and they know how much we care, and that makes an enormous difference when something so important is being preserved.
He's also really good at getting the folks to smile, to organize for shots, and to get where they need to be for the light. Finally, he was wonderful in getting a wedding video re-cut same day for my mother in law, and sent a print to her family outside of his scope of costs. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Chris is an absolute amazing photographer and has a great team too! He is wonderful to work with and makes you feel immediately comfortable and at ease. His photos are even more stunning than I could have ever hoped for and I loved his creative edge. All the wedding guests loved him too! Chris is very responsive, professional, and just plain fun to be around! I would highly recommend him for any event/occasion.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Chris Evans. If you are looking for a professional, charismatic, and incredible photographer- look no further. Our photos were beyond our wildest dreams. Not only were our friends and family beaming about how professional and insanely cool Chris and his entire team was but our guests noted too. Cutting edge photography skills that are like no other. Chris kept the picture taking vibe light and fun but the pictures themselves are INSANELY gorgeous. How he got so many beautiful photos and seemed to be everywhere in every intimate and beautiful moment is beside me. He captured tender moments that I don't even remember happening that happen to be my favorite pictures. Our pictures are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and we look AWESOME in all of them... #notanAd #happybride
Wow! So impressed!! Chris is an extremely talented photographer and an absolute dream to work with. He is AMAZING!! My husband and I just received all of our wedding pictures and we’re in awe of just how incredibly beautiful they all turned out. You can see his attention to detail and artistic eye show through in each and every photo. Chris is so fun to shoot with which is an added bonus on top of his beautiful work. I can’t imagine having gone with a different photographer, Chris is THE BEST!!
I found Chris almost instantly on social media and knew he was what I wanted. I believe he doesn’t compare to anyone else on the island when it comes to beach photography. From the moment I first reached out, he was extremely accommodating and helpful, not only with what he includes in his packages, but even when it came to ideas of locations and other vendors.
We arrived to the location (a little late- whoops) and he and his assistant started right away. Chris caught me before walking down to explain what he wanted to capture in the first look and made sure my hubby was in place and positioned around the corner of the beach. He shot through our vow exchange and then made sure we got right to it before the sun went down. THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING! I’m not the easiest to photograph in my opinion, but he made us feel so comfortable. He knew the beach very well and captured angles I would have never thought of. He is very professional but also kept us laughing and engaged with the party the whole time.
When it comes to a photographer during our elopement, my husband was hesitant and didn’t really understand the need or my want. In the middle of our session, he looked at me and goes, “I’m so glad we did this and I’m so glad we went with him!”
Chris has the 5 star rating for a reason! He is everything you could ever imagine a good photographer could be!
Planning a wedding from afar is always a challenge and anxious experience but when you work with the perfect vendors it becomes a dream.
I'm originally from Oahu, Hawaii but now living in Los Angeles, California. The decision to get married back in the islands was an easy one for us.
We picked all of our vendors without meeting them in person and after doing our research we truly fell in love with Chris's artistic style. The fact that he was so comfortable to work with was just the icing on the cake.
My now Husband and I are not used to being photographed and probably extremely awkward in front of the camera but Chris truly made it fun an easy for us. Literally everyone at the wedding enjoyed him and are blown away by his work.
It's hard to find both talent and personality but Chris and his team seem to have it all.
We already know this will not be the only time we work with him! We are thrilled he is open to travel and can't wait for our next shoot on Venice Beach! MAHALO NUI LOA CHRIS!
Chris and his team are absolutely amazing! We got married at Sugar Beach Events in Maui, April 20th 2018. As soon as Chris and his team arrived, they stared their magic and made my husband and I feel at ease. Chris and his team are excellent at what they do, and we can't thank them enough for all the amazing wedding photographs that we get to cherish forever. I really appreciated that Chris sent us previews 2 days after the wedding, and the full set was ready in less than a month! Chris J Evans Photography is the best, we couldn't be happier with him and his team!
Chris was absolutely fantastic! Both my husband (also Chris) and I had so much fun working with him! A direct quote from my husband “if he’s not a five star, than I don’t know what is.” Chris had amazing suggestions for us throughout the day including a stop on the way from the Haiku Mill back to the reception at our hotel to capture some breathtaking pictures on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Both my husband Chris and I feel thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris and his team.
Within a day or two of shooting our wedding Chris had a few sneak peek pictures to us and within a week a very large sneak peek! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Everything that I’ve seen so far has been nothing short of fantastic! We’ve had multiple people comment that they need to be on the cover of a magazine. Chris is the real deal, we really could not have hoped for anything better as such a special day was captured for us!
I do not think there are enough words to describe how incredible Chris and his team were for our elopement wedding. It was just my husband, my son, and myself on this beautiful getaway. Chris did such an amazing job and made us feel so comfortable from the moment we finally met face to face. He not only communicated wonderfully with me via email and phone calls, he also helped us determine the best package for our big day (went from a 90 person wedding ceremony to an elopement). He was super flexible with us changing our wedding date from September to April as well. My husband and I were nervous about the pictures. How do we pose? Chris gave us all the direction we needed and made the entire experience so fun. We have a mixture of candids and posed portraits. Incredible pictures of my son. He even snuck in a few maternity shots for me, as we are expecting, and they turned out so beautiful. We recommend him to our friends and family and will hopefully be able to persuade him to come to WA for our real maternity photos! Thank you so much Chris for giving us beautiful memorable photos that will last us forever.
All I can say is WOW! The photographers from Chris J. Evans photography Mike and Dane were just incredible to work with!! I don't even have my full album yet but have been totally blown away by the quality and artistry of the preview album!! Not only were they professional, Mike and Dane were an absolute blast to work with, we really loved our time with them during our wedding, great vibes and even better photos!! THANK YOU to the Chris J. Evans team for being rock stars!!!
When our wedding planner sent us some photographers that they recommend due to quality and experiences they and couples have had with them, I was immediately drawn to Chris and had no hesitations that he was our guy. And we were not disappointed! We loved working with Chris and his team. They went above and beyond to make the most magical photographs that we've ever seen. Chris has a great eye and helped give us direction without taking "super posed" photographs. Chris was fun and kind and was a pleasure to work with. Whole-heartedly recommend him!
As a groom I was not involved in the early stages of planning. My now wife however assured me of how great Chris was to work with. After meeting Chris and the crew on our wedding day I saw why. I am in the hospitality industry and will tell you that not only were we treated like friends and with respect, but given a top notch product and experience. I have never looked at better photos!
Words cannot describe how happy we are with our wedding pictures and the overall experience working with Chris, and his team. When I first saw the website, I was hooked, and knew I had to secure Chris as my photographer. He responds very quickly and was so down to earth and kind. He was so helpful and made me feel at ease booking everything from a distance. He also offered all types of helpful hints and suggestions for us regarding other aspects of our trip. Chris and the two gentlemen that worked with him on our wedding shoot were nothing short of spectacular. They were professional, funny, charming, and an absolute joy to work with. I am very self conscious and can be insecure about having my picture taken but they truly made me feel comfortable and brought out the best in all of us during the shoot. I love, love, love our pictures and I could not ask for anything more. I was worried my pictures would not be as neat or as amazing as the ones that are shown on his website, but they absolutely are! If you are considering Chris as your photographer, do it! You will not regret it, I promise. It is the best money I ever spent. Thank you Chris, Ryan and Nick! You all the best!
I was married in Maui in January and Chris is hands down the BEST photographer I have ever seen. His vision and the pictures he captures is truly remarkable. I personally hate getting my picture taken but Chris and his team actually made it FUN and you sort of forgot you were even taking pictures. The pictures themselves were like nothing I've ever seen before, all of them are my favorites and get SO many compliments from family/friends that see them. i will be back in Maui in the future and will most definitely use Chris J. Evans Photography for any future photography needs! If you want someone to perfectly capture your big day, he's your guy!
We are glad we had the opportunity to work with Chris Evans and his wonderful team. Our first photographer was unable to do our wedding and Chris not only became our new photographer on a short notice but accommodated/honored the quote we were originally going to pay for the 1st photographer. It was a steal! Not only did Chris and his team make you feel comfortable during your photo shoots but they had wonderful/unique ideas. We couldn’t ask for a more professional and amazing crew to work with on our special day. We also like to thank Mike Stuart for our engagement and wedding photos as well!
Updating review for Chris after our wedding!
My husband and I were mesmerized by Chris' photography style even before confirming our venue and date. He proved to be worth every accolade from our magical forest engagement session with . Looking at our photos from a few months ago still brings tears of joy. Chris and his team made all of us feel at our most comfortable, relaxed and showed our true best selves. They worked tirelessly but inconspicuously, capturing not just us but all the genuine emotional moments of our closes family and friends. Chris' style is wide ranging, from glamorous sweeping romance, to dramatic vintage black and white, to creatively digitally enhanced. We appreciate the different styles and equally love the fairy tale photos as well as silly fun ones and the ones of raw emotions. We are so grateful to Chris and his team for capturing our special day. We will cherish the photos for years to come.
________________________________________________
Chris was highly recommended to us by our wedding coordinator at the Four Seasons. Initially, our schedules almost didn't work out but Chris was so accommodating and we are exuberant to have him as our engagement and wedding photographer! His artistic style took my breath away, I knew immediately he would be the photographer for us. Look through his sunset/night photos and you will see how he is just a master of light, his works speaks like a Rembrandt painting. However, the breadth of his skill goes above and beyond these magical night photos.
My fiance and I thought it would be fun to do something different than a beach shoot for our engagement and Chris suggested an "enchanted forest" in the beautiful Makawao Upcountry. Chris and his assistant Nick made us feel comfortable and the shoot was loads of fun. Even my fiance who was usually camera shy had a great time (Chris initially said he'd be feeling like James Bond in no time and he did! :)
A few days after the shoot Chris sent out the first round of photos. They were beautiful and magical! They're not over stylized and they're a great mix of whimsical and romantic without being over the top. Could easily have been in any top fashion magazine shoot but it still captured the essence of us.
Chris Evans is unparalleled in his artistry, skill, creativity, professionalism as a wedding photographer. The best thing is his humility and overall fun and awesome personality. I recommend Chris and his team a hundred million percent!
My girlfriend and I recently modeled with Chris for a styled shoot at a Maui hotel. He was as professional as one could be, full of energy, and he made it fun! The shoot was painless and we didn't want it to end. Chris made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, and we will definitely be hiring him in the future for our wedding. Our photos were delivered way sooner than expected, and they were STUNNING. We never knew we could look that good. Chris is a true artist and will exceed all of your expectations for a wedding photographer.
Chris and his assistant Nick made our engagement shoot session experience magical! When I was given a list of photographers, Chris was my #1 choice no doubt, but I was nervous because seeing his pictures I was thinking how would he make us look that good? And wow did he go beyond my expectations. Chris has such great energy, passion, and professionalism. Him and Nick made us feel comfortable and we are not one to be so comfortable in front of a camera. He is absolutely skilled in his work - one instance, while I thought we were done with our location walking to the car, all of a sudden Chris and his creative self told us to stop and he captured some of my fav photos of that entire shoot. He is also quick with delivering our photos. I cannot wait for him and his team to capture our wedding day. I can attest that it is true that Chris J. Evans is "where fashion, nature, and weddings collide"! We are forever thankful for you Chris J. Evans...evans..evans..!!! - Nadine & Juan
Him and his crew were amazing. They made you feel comfortable and not rushed taking all those wedding photos and they turned out beyond what we expected. We highly recommend him.
