Chris Richards Photography

ow to effectively use his creativity in his photography. I highly recommend Chris for any of your photography needs. The captured memories will be cherished forever.

dscape around you. I would highly recommend his services!

to express in Krista's and Jason's wedding photos and more! There is a reason he's so well reviewed and popular. Hands down the nicest guy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Don't settle. Chris is the BEST!

e I heard that he was available and interested in photographing our wedding, my decision was made. And he even came out to CO for our wedding! Chris was great to work with before the wedding (he was super patient, which was great because I had a hard time getting my planning started) and he of course did a phenomenal job photographing our rehearsal and wedding - put everyone at ease and people who have looked through the photos said they don't remember him catching many of the candid ones. Overall, our experience with Chris was great and now we have the most beautiful photos to remember our very special day!!!

for framing shots and does an excellent job of making them seem organic while also paying thorough attention to detail. He captured not only our interpersonal dynamic but also the character and beauty of Tucson in his photos. We had such a great experience with Chris the first time that we enthusiastically hired him to take photos of our wedding. Again, we were so impressed with his work and thankful that he is such a master of his craft. We thought of Chris as a member of our wedding party and are honored to call him a friend. It is impossible to recommend him highly enough!

the first and only photographer we met with. I knew right then and there from his work, and how incredibly professional, kind, and the passion behind what he does that he was the person to capture the biggest day of our lives. Our engagement photo shoot was a blast with him. Chris made my husband and I laugh and extremely comfortable in front of the camera with him and not to mention the pictures turned out STUNNING. The big day was easy and smooth. Chris made sure he knew a head of time all of the pictures we personally wanted and then directed us through the whole shoot from there. I am not comfortable in front of the camera so it was a HUGE help to have in direct us the whole way through. Chris takes time to edit and go through all the details in pictures but still for our engagement pictures to us within a week! Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with, his work is nothing short of perfection, and he is truly a passionate photographer who genuinely wants the pictures he takes to tell the story of the biggest day of our life. I am beyond pleased with Chris Richards Photography.

r after meeting with Chris, there was a unanimous excited "he's the one"!!! Chris took pictures that reflect their uniqueness. On the wedding day he was fun, spontaneous, calm, kept us on task and was so creative in his pictures. Many guests commented on how fun Chris is and how he made it easy to be photographed. He put everyone at ease and the pictures really reflected the fun of the day. I would highly recommend Chris to document any special event.

ater, we immediately knew we wanted him to be our photographer as well, so he traveled to California from Arizona for our wedding weekend. He captured our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and the entire wedding day in a way I never would have dreamed. We still regularly look through our wedding album, and it brings us back to that day so vividly with not only the posed group shots, but also the candid, raw emotions of the day. Since our wedding in 2010, we have continued to hire Chris for more photos. When our daughter was born in 2012, he took gorgeous newborn pictures for us of not only our new addition, but also of us as a family of three. And starting that same year, we have set up yearly family photo sessions in fun and photogenic new places around Tucson. We are so lucky to have the confidence in knowing that we'll have amazing photos that will capture the real us, and that showcase who we are at this moment in time. I highly recommend Chris Richards as a photographer not just for weddings, but for any occasion that warrants a photographer. To have a reliable family photographer like him is really an honor, and we look forward to every photo session with him.

e could have imagined. Hands down the best choice for your photographer

cal moment at Hacienda Del Sol. Chris was the photographer they chose to capture our amazing memory. While my fiance was proposing poor Chris had to hide behind bushes to take the pictures and keep the element of surprise. He took beautiful pictures that I love to share with my family and friends. Additionally Chris took our official engagement pictures and I get a lot of compliments on them. Chris will also be the photographer at our upcoming rehearsal dinner and wedding. I really love working with Chris he is fun and flexible with our schedule, plus he worked really well in photographing us with our puppies. Overall I would recommend Chris to anyone who wants beautiful pictures.

made it a point to connect with our guests personally, which ultimately makes for better pictures. Sometimes it can feel odd or awkward to be in front of a camera but Chris's attitude and personality made it very easy to be one self in front of the lens. All of the photos came out so beautifully. We were so lucky to have Chris Richards as a part of our wedding.

at technical photographer and he really captures the mood and the spirit of the moment. He's also just a genuine guy and a lot of fun to hang out and take photos. Chris was helpful in the planning of the timeline of my wedding day, letting us know how long we would need for photos and suggesting different timelines to make sure we got all the photos we wanted. He took the time to get to know myself and my husband, as well as the wedding party, to make sure that everyone was comfortable with him (key to good photos!). Something I love about Chris is that I feel that he has mastered the art of the candid photo, which allowed him to capture some amazing moments from our wedding day. I really can't (eloquently, haha) say enough good things about Chris Richards and his wedding photography. You will be missing out if you don't at least check him out for your big day!!

clear and are accented by amazing Tucson scenery and light. My wife and I felt comfortable with Chris from our first meetings, too.

sing him, not only did I find the perfect photographer, I also found the perfect vendors for every aspect of my wedding with his guidance. I asked his opinion for a bakery, decor, florist, DJ, make up artist, and the venue itself. I went with every recommendation he made and I was 100% satisfied with every one. Planning a wedding is very difficult, especially with trying to find the perfect vendors. I got lucky to have found Chris first, as he made the rest easy by pointing me in the right direction. He completely exceeded my expectations and I was in tears when I saw the pictures he took; they were absolutely breathtaking. I loved every single one and I am one of the pickiest individuals when it comes to pictures. He captured every important moment of the night and he's my photographer for life!! Out of 5 stars I give him 10:).

d him without even looking at others! We were so glad he included an engagement picture session in our package because he made us feel instantly comfortable during the session, which gave us one less stress to worry about on our wedding day! The day of the wedding he was awesome and fit in right along with the wedding party as we got ready, without being intrusive at all. We got the pictures from our big day back only a week later!! They were beautiful and captured our day perfectly! I would 100% recommend him to anyone!

for the engagement shoot and the results were beautiful. Both the engagement and wedding photos are so full of life and really capture the fun we had those days. Chris captured some funny little moments that are now funny/happy memories. (Like myself taking a swig from our best man's flask post ceremony-pre reception) At our wedding reception, people would gather in the foyer to look at the slideshow of photos Chris had taken from just hours (and sometimes minutes) before. It is fun to look back through our albums and photos to reminisce, and we are so thankful that we had Chris documenting the day.

e did most of our planning from a far. Chris we really easy to work with for scheduling and sharing ideas. For our engagement photos, Chris went the extra mile to capture my dream photo of us during a UofA tailgate. We trotted all around the campus learning how to take photos and having fun. Chris got two people that hate taking photos to look really good! He was so warm and welcoming. It can be a little awkward having your photo taken, but it never felt that way with Chris. We knew we hit the photographer jackpot once we saw the photos. Anyone that knows us well could see our engagement photos captured our personalities perfectly. For the wedding, we met Chris at his house and discussed our favorite photos from engagement session. This was really great to know what we both liked and disliked going into the wedding day. We also went through family photo list and "dream" photos. Chris was great at getting everyone (wedding party, family) on the same page for photos during the day. He was very patient working with the little kids (flower girl and ring bearer). Even when Kevin and I were worn out from all the photos and wanted to get to the reception, Chris kept his cool and got us through all of it. Chris had a second photographer to make sure all the moments of our special day were captured. It was really fun to see what happened during the cocktail hour, which we missed since we were taking bride/groom portrait. Another great item, was that Chris was able to edit some photos during dinner and set up a computer to display some of photos during the rest of the reception. Everyone that saw the photos couldn't stop talking about how great Chris was. And we agree! We just received our wedding photos last week and we couldn't be happier. Chris captured all the details and special moments you could wish for during your wedding. He takes his time and is very thorough. I would recommend Chris to anyone that asked. We can't thank him enough for capturing our special day in photos.

ted a photo of all our guests, in one photo, and Chris made it happen. Some guests made comments like "oh, it's not going to work", but I never doubted Chris' talent and sure enough ... we have a BEAUTIFUL photo of all of our guests (and you can see all their faces). If you want to capture your wedding with beautiful photos to enjoy forever - then Chris is your guy!

ally know show to capture the inner beauty of everyone at the wedding. Not just my wife and I. Chris didn't miss a single special moment. With anyone. Like having a Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist shoot your big day!

nd then there are the photos... they were spectacular! I can't thank Chris enough for capturing our special day.

HUSBAND) and I perfectly. He made us comfortable during the engagement session which gave us so much ease on the big day. Our wedding party was rowdy, loud, over the top, and Chris only added to fun with his style and sense of humor. During the reception, he showed a few peaks of pictures from the ceremony and first glance. I was moved to tears at those initial images. Chris, you have an amazing gift. We are so grateful for you and we hope you know you are now our photographer for life! Thank you so much for everything. Kim and Dexter

memories to last us a lifetime. I would highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough for contributing to our special day.

he PERFECT photo. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! :) He would do everything to get that perfect angle and shot. We are happy we chose Chris as our photographer!!! :)

y casual wedding/reception, I also wanted to have wonderful pictures to always remember the day. Chris photographed my friends wedding a decade ago and as soon as we decided to get married in Tucson (we live out of state), I knew Chris would be our photographer. Chris was able to not only take the traditional photos, but was also able to capture the essence of the day, a celebration with friends and family. Everyone who has looked at our photos has been extremely complimentary and I couldn't imagine anyone better to shoot my wedding.

istening to what you and your partner do and don't like, but balances your with preferences with what he knows works and will look good. He is also great at capturing moments of honest emotion, including one of my favorite photos of my bridesmaids and me, in which we're all laughing openly. The mix of staged and candid shots gave us both those "professional" photos that will go on our walls, as well as many natural, special moments that we will treasure ourselves. I highly recommend Chris. He's smart, fun, and extremely talented. You can't pick a better photographer!

efore the wedding to talk about what we wanted in our wedding pictures. Our wedding was pretty laid back and we didn't want a lot of the "traditional" wedding things. Chris did an amazing job capturing both of our personalities and style. Even two years later I look back at our wedding pictures and love every single one! I would recommend Chris to anyone getting married in AZ!

ding photos exceeded all possible expectations. He captured so many of our friends and family, while also managing to get some amazing shots of my husband and I. He is fun to work with and had our giant wedding party laughing throughout the whole process. We could not be happier with the finished product!

him. He did beautiful engagement photos for free for us, which we used on our website, invites, and thank you notes. The day of the wedding, he made everything so easy. He knew exactly what shots to get, and kept everyone laughing and having a good time. He had amazing ideas for what shots to take. Then he set up a photo viewing station and photo booth during the reception! It helps that he is also the nicest guy on planet Earth. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL. Chris is just the best.

ess, beginning to end. We have the most creative, incrediblely beautiful pictures. It was such a pleasure to work with him. You will not be disappointed!

t. Chris was super friendly and easy to work with - many of our guests commented on how personable and talented he was. He managed large group shots with ease and made even the most photo shy couple happy. Highly recommended and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

ow is and wanted to know about us! We knew we wanted good quality pictures and cost was no factor! Chris first did our photo shoot for our engagement photos and we couldn't beleive how great they came out. Chris was helpful with what to wear, what to stay away from, where to go and during the shoot, he made taking pictures a lot of fun!!! Come the big day, Chris was there to take photos during the rehearsal, which I didn't think too much about it but glad he did. It was those moments that were captured with just our wedding party and immediate family in the church, those moments of wow, this is really happening...... Oh and wedding day!!!! Chris took over 4000 photos, yes 4000, with the package we got, we had Chris and two other photographers. Moments were captured that made it easy to tell what exactly was going on at that moment. I was beyond pleased and forever grateful for our photos! Chris, I hope you read this too, THANK YOU!!! I highly recommend Chris Richards Photography!! I think I found our photographer for life!!

ght at our reception when he played them on a screen. It was a stressful day, to say the least, and he made the photo time with family and friends so easy everyone was having fun. The process of choosing the photos and creating an album was extremely easy. He help at every step and offered suggestions and his expertise on what would be best. Thank you Chris Richards for making my day, my memories, and the moments everlasting!

and helped us to enjoy the process. The photos we have are STUNNING and I feel blessed to have such wonderful photographic memories of our special day. I highly recommend Chris to all brides with every type of budget. You won't be disappointed:) !

about having Chris Richards as our photographer.

ds if you are looking for the best!

ccommodating, allowing us the freedom to enjoy the day without having to worry about anything. his energy was unflagging; he worked with us for over ten hours without complaint, taking amazing photos the whole time! his photographs truly captured the joy and love that my wife and i felt, and his pictures are something we will cherish for years to come.

& helped us capture the true emotion of the event. We'd highly recommend Chris to anyone! Things we loved: Engagement Photos - Fun & made wedding day much smoother! Projecting Wedding Photos at Reception Photo Booth Group Photo from the Above Things We Regret: Not Filming the Wedding/First Dance

ing, etc so that on the day of our wedding the photos would go a lot more seamless. He was right! We are so glad that we did the engagement photos. We had a great time wandering downtown with Chris. Regarding our wedding photos, they were outstanding and have been used in bridal magazines as part of featured articles. I didn’t know we could look so good. I had numerous guests remark how much they enjoyed seeing the ceremony photos at the reception. Everyone was highly complementary and couldn’t believe that they were so captivated by our wedding images. It has been hard narrowing down which photos we want to enlarge because we have numerous to choose from. We are really glad with our decision to use Chris he did a great job of capturing the fun, loving, crazy, best day of our life with photos. We highly recommend him!

our wedding day photos beautiful and unique to us. Chris has a trained eye to capture what we normally take for granted. Our outdoor wedding location had a rainbow and the Santa Catalina mountains during sunset as a backdrop and Chris was able to capture dramatic images with the wedding party our family and friend's. If you are looking for a friendly photographer with a five star rating, you just found him! Glenn Hartley

r photo shoot and he and his assistant hoofed it to make it in time for sundown. It's all about the little details with Chris, which result in wonderful pictures to last a lifetime. Thanks Chris!

agement photos. My husband and I thought it would be a good idea to use our two dogs in them. Although it was incredibly hard to keep their attention at the park, Chris made the most hilarious sounds just to get them to look at the him! It worked, the pictures were perfect. Our wedding was three months after I had given birth to our son and i did not feel like a beautiful bride, but Chris took the most remarkable pictures I've ever seen. He really knew how to capture the moments between my husband and I that looked spontaneous and natural. He knew how to bring out the fantastic silliness in everyone. Chris understands how to use the light, scenery and angle to get extraordinary shots! I can't thank him enough for the incredible memories we have because of his stunning work!

hat is second to none. Apart from being an excellent photographer (we are amazed by the beautiful moments he was able to capture) he is also honest, motivated, and thoughtful. It never felt like a “cookie cutter” experience where you see several couples on the website doing the exact same orchestrated pose. Every picture encompassed a moment that was special to us. Thank you Chris!

otographer I met with, but once the three of us sat down together, he totally agreed: Chris is amazing. We ended up having two engagement photo session shoots, because my husband and I were a hot mess the first time, but Chris never made us feel bad about it -- instead, he was flexible and understanding. On the day of our wedding, Chris made everyone felt at ease and was amazing to work with. He even set up a computer so that our guests could see some of the photos from earlier in the day -- and the pictures were amazing! Everyone in the Tucson wedding industry knows Chris and loves him; over and over I heard that he's the best photographer in Tucson, and I'd have to agree! He is amazing and I kind of wish I had another huge event coming up so I could book him again, he's that good!
