From the moment we met Chris for our engagement session, we knew we had made the right choice. Neither my husband nor I are naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Chris ...
made us feel relaxed and like ourselves. By the time our wedding day came around, it felt like having a friend there with us.
On our wedding day, he captured every moment so effortlessly. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once while never making us feel like we were constantly posing. Looking through our photos, we get to relive the emotions of the day all over again. Every laugh, every tear, every little in-between moment was captured so beautifully.
And then, somehow, he delivered our entire wedding gallery just one week later. We were absolutely blown away—not only by how quickly we received them, but by how incredible every single photo was.
Chris is unbelievably talented, professional, and genuinely such a joy to work with. If we ever need more professional photography again, he’ll be the first person we call to capture those memories too. We truly can’t recommend him enough.
Words cannot describe what an amazing and special photographer and person Chris is. Although we were one of the wedding couples that had to change our date not once but three times...
over the course of a year and a half, Chris was always flexible and willing to make any date possible. He was/is extremely reliable and responsive within a matter of minutes throughout the entire process and willing to communicate via email, text and or phone call. (I am old fashioned and hate email so thank you for dealing with that lol) We couldn’t have asked for a more genuine, honest and brilliant person to work with and will definitely use him for all of the exciting chapters our future holds. He not only is the person you want to use to capture all of your memories, but he is also the person you consider a friend almost instantly and want to grab a beer with.
Now on to the photography aspect of it. Alec and I are definitely awkward in front of the camera and knew we would need some guidance in how to pose and feel comfortable being ourselves. After being open about this, he was able to offer many suggestions on how to stand, where to stand and pick out all of the places he knew would capture many memories. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. I have a thing for doors and he made sure we got a photo in front of every door LOL. We really appreciated that he took charge and took all the guessing work out of what we needed to do and they came out truly perfect.
Fast forward a month later to our actual wedding day, which happened this past weekend. It was so wonderful to see Chris, a familiar face again, and this time around he truly gave us the confidence we needed on our big day to feel comfortable in front of the camera. It felt effortless the day of the wedding. (If using him before your wedding, I highly recommend meeting him for a shoot prior to the wedding so he can get to know your personalities and on the day of the wedding you feel like a natural. Plus you get to capture not one but two amazing photos of you and your loved one :) Him and his assistant Johnathan (shout out to you for also being kick ass and amazing) arrived promptly even before they were asked to, and were very organized and flexible with all of the planning. He was able to fluidly coordinate with our videographer, wedding coordinator and made things move effortlessly and efficiently.
One of my favorite things about him is is humbled confidence and trust in his ability to do the best job possible for every single person. The only thing he requested from us was a family photos list of people we wanted and other than that we didn’t feel the need to tell him exactly what photos to taken, nor did he want us to because he trusted himself to capture what was most important. It was an unspoken language and that is how you know you hired the one. I have no doubt in my mind him and Johnathan captured every beautiful moment of family and friends. He was always right there, but he blended in with such ease and disguise that you never even noticed them being there unless you were really paying attention.
Chris, we absolutely adore you and are so looking forward to having you as our photographer for many years ahead. Thank you for always allowing us to be ourselves and listening to what was important to us. You and Johnathan are one for the books and feel so lucky you too chose to work with us! :)
We are so happy that we found Chris. After booking our venue, Chris was the first vendor we locked down for our wedding last October at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. As dancers, the ...
action shots were really important to us and we wanted our other photos to capture the natural happiness of the day - we are not ones to pose for photos.
Chris made everything so easy from start to finish, He gave great directions, was helpful in nudging along family members who wandered off and kept things moving to make sure we got to enjoy our day and have all the photos we could ever want. Our family and friends have made so many comments about how amazing our photography was. We would highly recommend working with Chris - get on the books quickly, his talent is in high demand - as it should be!
Chris is the best! He captured the essence of our wedding beautifully! His pictures are stunning, he's extremely easy to work with, and we can't recommend him enough!
My wife and I got married on June 25, 2017 at The Meritage in Napa, CA and Chris was our photographer. I used to be a wedding photographer in WA and finding the right photographer ...
was always something important for my wedding. After hours of searching and meeting with many photographers, I knew we had found the one when I received an email back from Goodeye and it was full of sarcasm and little hints at his personality. After meeting with Chris and seeing his work, I knew we had found the one. His use of lighting and speed made us confident in his abilities to immortalize our special day. Chris worked with us to get the package and price that was best for us and only 4 weeks later we received over a thousand well shot photos. I will definitely be referring Chris to anyone I know in need of a photographer in the Bay Area. Thanks Chris! Love Nathan & Kayleigh
This email is a little premature because my wedding was just 4 days ago but we did do an engagement photo session with Chris as well- which came out AMAZING. And let me say I HATE ...
getting my photo taken. He is as great as all this reviews say. I thought he would be too good to be true but he was so much fun to work with, he was laughing and making jokes with my bridal party. He was never bossy but gave great instructions and suggestions.
I will update when I get my wedding photos :)
Chris does a wonderful job! He is so personable and great with all your guests and the photos are amazing!
Chris is so great to work with. After meeting other photographers for our 9/3/11 wedding, Chris really stood out to my husband and I. We felt comfortable with him during our firs...
t meeting and that's important to people like us who aren't used to all the camera attention. We loved that he was family-oriented and is a full-time photographer. His blog documents all of his creative work.
Chris shot our engagement photos and wedding day. Our engagement session went smoothly and was actually a lot of fun. We received sneak peeks within a few days and the entire engagement session photos within a week! And for our wedding day, he had sneak peeks up that night! Incredible! We haven't seen the entire wedding day photos yet, but we're excited to see them and already know we'll love them.
Once we have a family of our own, I'm definitely getting in touch with him again to take our family photos! :)
Chris is the best photographer. He made our pictures look breath taking. We love every single picture- it will be very hard to choose which ones to get.
His ease of communicating with us, our family and guests. He is extremely talented and has a wonderful eye for detail. His work is amazing, it speaks for itself.;Can't think of a...
