About Chris

I Show Up for You the Way Your Best Friend Would โ€” With a Camera

I know that handing someone full access to the most important day of your life takes real trust. I don't take that lightly.

Over the past 15+ years photographing weddings across Orlando, Central Florida, and beyond, I've learned that the best photos come when people forget I'm there. My job is to make you feel comfortable enough to just be yourselves โ€” and then capture what happens next.

Four Best of Weddings awards and a Knot Hall of Fame induction later, I'm still just as excited every time I get to document someone's love story.
