MEET CHRIS

Husband | Father | Brother | Friend | Musician | Surfer | Artist


I’ve been crafting memories for loving couples and guiding them through their wedding day since 2012. Based in Southern California I service weddings around the world from Santa Barbara to Lake Como!

Together we will create images you not only see but truly feel. Memories that transport you back to the very instant they were created. The cool breeze fluttering the back of your neck, the warmth of your soulmates arms blanketed around you. This is what you’ll feel and this is what I promise.

My work has been published in many of the top wedding magazines and industry blogs including: Brides, Martha Stewart, The Knot, Wedluxe, Destination Ido, Novelty Bride and many more.

I have built an extraordinary team of talented photographers and cinematographers to elevate your love story to nothing less than a breathtaking fairy tale. 

I’m  not only passionate and dedicated to my craft but also to my amazing couples and I look forward to not only our adventure together but to witnessing your lives joining as one. 

From this day forward you will never walk alone.

 With love,

-CHRIS
