Chris is truly one of the best around! From his infectious smile to his photography skills, you will definitely want this guy on your side. When searching for our wedding photographer, we narrowed it down to three or so people and asked for opinions from our parents, siblings and some friends, some of which are photographers and / or artists themselves. I already knew Chris was my pick but we were curious what others thought. I believe he was picked by everyone so hands down, we knew who we wanted. Just check out his portfolio and his work speaks for itself. He is super easy to get along with, he knows what he's doing, had a great second shooter, Hannah, and has an amazing presence, even though sometimes you don't even notice he is there capturing great memories.We were planning a Hawaii wedding from the mainland, which can be difficult at times. Initial emails were answered quickly, we had no issues trying to get in touch with him whenever we wanted to. And the first time speaking with him, it sort of felt like we were chatting with someone we already knew. There is just a level of comfort and confidence that he has which can put any stressed out couple at ease.Our wedding was in October 2019 and the day started out raining off and on. Of course everyone was a bit worried but we knew we couldn't do anything about it and accepted what was to come. Chris arrived on time, to tell you the truth I didn't know what time it was at all that day, even though I was wearing a watch . We introduced ourselves to each other and he got right to work. Completely professional in every way, Chris delivered on all levels. He even gave us sneak peek photos the very next day! Now I'm an not a photographer but I am a graphic designer and producing work the very next day is super difficult. And less than a month after our wedding, he had all our photos ready! Thank you / Mahalo Nui Loa / Muito Obrigada, Chris, for all that you do!

This review is loooong overdue. We used Chris for our engagement photos and he was amazing! He was easy to communicate with and we were really thrilled with the images he captured. He has a great, creative eye and his demeanor is relaxed and comfortable so you can be yourself. What we really liked about Chris was that he gave really awesome directions! I don't mean directions to the location but I mean directions on how to pose, where to look and such. This is really hard to find sometimes in photographers but it makes all the difference in the world. It can make a good image, great or a great image not so great. Chris was able to guide us every step as we are no professional models so we needed a loooot of directions and he did so in a way that was comfortable and easy for us. When we received the gallery, we were thrilled with how they turned out! Clean, modern, and beautiful. He also took a great number of photos which is always nice because you can really pick and choose your favorites. Some photographers will only give you such a limited amount of images. Oh and another thing we really appreciated was his quick turnaround time. It was nice to have the images so quickly. I would not hesitate to book with Chris again. He is definitely a talented gem! Thank you Chris for the amazing pictures and capturing such a special occasion!
