Chris J. Evans Photography

tive and worked with our family so well. Never intrusive, but there to capture every moment. I would recommend Chris a thousand times over!! Seriously. Our photos were in People Magazine and we got SO MANY compliments… he’s 12/10!

ding, I was never once stressed about the photography because I had so much confidence in his work. When the wedding day came, I found out that I was more than correct! He was so cool, calming, and confident on the day of. Our guests asked about him because they wanted to follow him and be friends with him lol. Our family members commented on how great he was. He was a hit all around. Once we started seeing his preview shots we immediately knew our decision was the right one. Looking at our full album makes me so incredibly happy. Everything was captured so well, I have zero regrets and could not recommend Chris more! I can guarantee you’ll be happy with your decision. My husband and I still consider him a friend to this day. We love Chris and will cherish the photos forever!

gy and the vibe that day. The quality of Chris’ pictures are unmatched and that’s reason enough to hire him, but he is also the most creative, friendly, and supportive photographer I’ve ever met. He helped us more during our wedding day than our own coordinator. I would hire Chris every single time. It’s a no brainer decision. SO happy and a huge thank you

incredible energy that is professional, yet so much fun, and puts everyone at ease from the second you meet him. After working with him for 5 minutes, my husband and I both felt like he had been a friends for years! From our initial phone conversation all the way to the last minute of our wedding night, it was so apparent how much Chris genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments of our wedding weekend. Chris arrived to our location in Vail, CO days early to scout all the best locations for a variety of photos and he did not disappoint-- They are nothing short of breathtaking and we are completely obsessed with every single shot! When the weather wasn't cooperating, he was completely flexible with schedule changes and went above and beyond to ensure I got the outdoor, mountain photos I so desperately wanted. He was able to capture all of the emotions of the weekend with beautiful candids but also orchestrate editorial-like photos without making us feel posed or corny in any way. He was so positive, organized, fast, and fun, and as a result, he was able to bring out the best sides of us, our families, and our wedding parties. And to top it all off, we received an incredible preview gallery (with hundreds of photos!) just two days after our wedding and the full gallery in record time. If you have the opportunity to work with Chris, RUN don't walk to hire him, you won't regret it!

ING Chris is. I wish I could post everyone of the pictures he took, but there isn't enough space for that! Chris is truly an artistic genius. He captured each and every moment with creativity and perfection. Chris made everyone feel at ease especially my daughter and son-in-law. He was great with our 2 1/2 year old grandson and was able to capture the most amazing pictures of him that I will always cherish. He was so professional, yet playful in a way that made everyone feel comfortable and have fun. Everyone always dreads doing the family pics after the ceremony because they don't want to miss the party. Chris was so organized, he photographed both family in a timely manner so that the bride and groom could enjoy the last portion of the cocktail party. The twilight pictures were just over the top! We couldn't believe how fast we got the previews and the entire gallery. I can't recommend Chris enough. You won't regret your decision. He was worth every penny and more!

uld focus because it deserves my full attention. PRE-WEDDING From the beginning, he was very attentive, asked a lot of good questions, and I could tell he really wanted to know what our vision was for our photos and who we wanted extra shots of such as parents and best friends. Also, I could tell he reinvested his money in his business because of his quality website and client portal. It was easy to navigate, and tracked every conversation we had for transparency and no misunderstandings. "Sometimes the little things make the biggest differences." WEDDING DAY We were nervous because we didn't have time to do any practice shots with Chris (which was highly recommended from friends) such as take our engagement photos, so our wedding day was the first time we ever met him in person but he just jumped right as though we had been friends forever and worked his magic. Not sure if he remembers, but when I first arrived at the venue and met Chris in person for the first time, the wind was blowing extremely hard and I was freaking out because of the weather in Lahaina that afternoon. I asked him, "Are we gonna be ok?" Without hesitation he said "it's gonna be fine and you will have a beautiful wedding." Throughout the wedding, he showed excellent leadership skills by helping us stay organized, timely, calm, and focused on taking things in so we could cherish the moments but also allowing us time to mingle with our guests. It almost felt like Chris could have also been our wedding coordinator since he was so competent. Everyone just loved Chris because of his fun and vibrant personality. CONCLUSION Chris delivered our photos faster than anticipated and I kid you not, we just loved every single shot; therefore, it's so hard to make our wedding album because we want ALL the photos in there. Overall, his personality won us over, his talent made our wedding day fun, memorable, and timeless. Chris exceeded our expectations in every way and I would recommend him and his amazing team, a thousand times over. He's not just a world class photographer, but honored to call him our new friend.

recommended to us and after my daughter and I reviewed his exceptional work...we knew he would be perfect! We met Chris on the wedding day and immediately felt comfortable and in good hands. He was so personable, professional and so nice. Chris helped make the wedding day perfect. But the real proof has been in the preview pictures we received recently and the amazing video. We were blown away how he captured the essence of our small, intimate wedding on the beach in Santa Barbara. Chris' work is not typical...he is a true artist through his shots of the couple and family....candid shots of sheer happiness and the beauty of Santa Barbara beach. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who would like a true artist capturing their wedding!

so comfortable and made it fun! I am SO impressed with Chris and would recommend him 1,000,000 times over! Made the perfect day more perfect!

let me just say- it was the most fun and adventurous time we’ve had in a long time. He fully met our needs and understood exactly what we wanted! We cannot wait to shoot with him for our wedding in Hawaii 🤩

ial distancing' guidelines he made it fun and a real adventure. We are very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Chris!

rtable while Chris and his team gave gentle directions that ensured all the magic of the day was captured in each shot. Truly an experienced artist and professional who takes pride in his art. The preview photographs, simply put was just great and I can't wait to see the rest of the masterpiece come together. I would definitely 100% recommend Chris J. Evans Photography if you are looking for a photographer that captures your soul in a photo. Cheers!!

comfortable and special on our wedding day. They are extremely professional, experienced, and fun to work with. Our guests even raved about them. The preview pictures we’ve seen so far are out of this world amazing and captures moments in detail that words can’t express. My mother could not attend my wedding and when she saw the preview pics she called back crying with how beautiful and amazing they were. That right there speaks for itself. Thank you to Chris and his team for the amazing experience and breathtaking pictures on our wedding day. Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. And we look forward to working with you again in the future. 💯 % Recommend Chris and his team!!!

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! :-)

her 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!

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.

l deal. I give him my seal of approval, 100%.

eauty of our day. The photos are unbelievable. Working with Chris truly added to our day.

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!

es 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!

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.

ear 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!

one 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!

he 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!

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!

tant 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!

unning 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.

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

e’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!!

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!

iving 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!

y 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!

at 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!

away. 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.

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!!!

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!
