Working with Chris was an absolute dream from start to finish. He brought such a calm, positive energy to our wedding day, and his presence was so natural that we often forgot the ...

cameras were even rolling—which made for the most authentic, emotional footage. From our first interaction, Chris was kind, communicative, and clearly passionate about his craft. The sneak peek footage he shared had us both in tears—it was beautifully edited and perfectly captured the heart of the day. We also really appreciated how thoughtful he was in asking for songs that were meaningful to us for the full film. It’s those little details that make all the difference, and we’re so excited to see how he brings it all together. We couldn’t be more grateful to have had him as part of our wedding team and we can’t wait to relive our day through his lens for years to come. Highly, highly recommend!

We were initially on the fence about having a wedding video, but looking back, we can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made. The videos Chris created are absolut...

ely priceless—we haven’t stopped watching them since we received them! Every time we press play, we are instantly transported back to the emotions, the laughter, and the pure joy of our wedding day. Chris was such a joy to work with from start to finish. He blended in seamlessly with our group, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel like we were being filmed. That in itself is such a rare talent, and it allowed us to be completely present and natural throughout the day. The way he told our story through his lens is simply breathtaking, and we will cherish these videos forever. If you’re on the fence about wedding videography—this is your sign to do it. And if you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also warm, professional, and an absolute pleasure to be around, Chris is the one. We can’t thank him enough for giving us these beautiful memories to relive again and again!
