d, 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’

ght! 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!

s 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.

se 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 go...
rgeous 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!

ked 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!

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.

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 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!

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.

, 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.

e 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.

We arrived to the location (a little late- whoops) and he and his assistant started right away.

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.

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!

ing 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!

We gave Chris a list of our "must have" poses/combos and he got them all. Also shared our Pinterest board and he did a great job of remembering additional specific poses. Even if you're on a budget - do not skimp on photos! We ended up going over our overall budget, but don't regret choosing Chris one bit. Worth every penny. I can tell you that you CAN go light on florals since almost every venue in Maui is absolutely stunning. We went with a pretty basic floral set up, and Chris totally maximized what we had, and captured all the details and guests using natural landscape just perfectly. We were also ready to wait a few months before seeing our photos - this will of course depend on his volume at the time, but we got our photos within a month of our wedding - amazing!!

figuring out the exact amount of time we would need him for, spent a lot of time on the phone/email going over every detail of how photography would fit into the wedding which made me feel more confident about hiring him then I already did. 2 weeks ago my fiancé and I were in Maui doing some wedding planning and last minute reached out to Chris to see if he would do a last minute mini engagement shoot. That week he was booked back to back but took time out of his busy schedule to accommodate us around our schedule on his day off! Chris was so enthusiastic, attentive, gave great direction to help us feel natural in front of the camera, and picked a beautiful location. The next day he sent us a gorgeous edited photo and by the end of the week we had an entire gallery of beautiful photos. We were so last minute with our outfits, I didn't even have much makeup or my hair done- but he still captured incredible shots. My mom can't stop raving about the photos (and that says a lot!). We've already printed and framed a couple. If this is just a taste of what working with Chris is going to be like for the big day, I know we made the right choice.
