We believe that every wedding is unique, and we strive to reflect that individuality in our photographs.

Chris is known for his professionalism, easy-going demeanor, and ability to make couples feel at ease in front of the camera.
Our Services
We offer a range of services to suit your wedding photography needs, including:
- Engagement Sessions: We love working with couples before their wedding day. Engagement sessions are a great opportunity to get to know each other, for couples to have some exposure to being in front of a camera, and to highlight their life together in Portland. There are so many great locations like Mt. Tabor, Powell Butte, and the International Rose Test Garden.
- Wedding Photography: We offer full-day wedding coverage with two photographers, starting at $3200. Our photography style is a blend of candid and photojournalistic documentation of your day with plenty of direction and guidance to make you feel comfortable during more "posed" moments like family and couple portraits. We find a balance between taking beautiful and romantic wedding photos and not having your wedding day feel like it's one big photoshoot.
- Elopements: We also specialize in elopements and small weddings throughout Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest. We document your day as it unfolds with a photojournalistic approach and create photos that are bright, full of light, and vivid colors. Working with you every step of the way to create a beautiful wedding day means so much to us.
- Add-Ons: We offer add-on services such as engagement albums, wedding albums, and unlimited consultations and photography planning assistance.
Our Approach
We believe that communication and the overall experience of working with us is just as important as the photos that we deliver. That's why we work hard to be clear in our emails, timely with our responses, and supportive throughout the process. We've even put together a wedding guide that covers common topics.
On your wedding day, we arrive ready to have fun and excited to document your day and tell your story. We offer a professional experience and are always friendly and easy to work with. Our clients often describe us as "chill" which we think fits pretty well. We're easy going but know how to get down to business!
