The Chris Pritchard
Experience

What Inspires Me

People, stories, and the freedom of wedding photography hooked me. Your wedding is an emotional canvas. Unscripted. Untamed. Your way.

Every wedding is unique, and the bonds I’ve built over 15 years have made me more empathetic and raw, developing super powers of anticipating moments like a wizard and moving like a ninja.

What's My Style

My style is personal.

I make you look dope-af. Bottom-line.

Candid artistry.

Cinematic. Dramatic. Romantic.

A Jedi light master using natural lighting, environment mastery, and one of the fastest trigger hands in the west.

I personally signature retouch every wedding. This ensures harmony and cohesion to your vision and tone of the day, so they are one of a kind. They will look badass.

Ensuring Comfort and Capturing Moments

Years of experience taught me the client’s experience is paramount. Friendship is important for me to truly understand your personalities. Spending quality time with my clients is important. I can even tame the most camera shy souls with the best confident building photos they'll be proud of.

This relaxed approach builds confidence, making you feel comfortable and natural in your photos.

Enjoy the process, and I’ll capture authentic moments beautifully.

Favorite Part of the Wedding Day

Intimate time with just the couple is my favorite. It's your chance to enjoy each other away from the crowd, resulting in the most romantic and heartfelt photos.

The emotional first look with parents or caretakers comes close second, capturing deep bonds of love and pride. I help you elevate this moments.

These moments create lasting memories you’ll cherish forever.

Mission and Vision

My mission is to capture diverse love stories through artistic, heartfelt photography, providing a personalized and supportive experience rooted in originality and artistry.

I aspire to be recognized as a leading wedding photography studio known for my emotionally resonant style and genuine connections.

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

I recommend booking your wedding photographer as soon as you have your date and venue secured. This is typically 9-12 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season.
How many photos will we receive?

The number of photos you receive depends on the length of coverage and the nature of your event. I am a quality over quantity production due to the diligent nature of our photography preparation and execution. You will review every image taken on site so that you can be sure you are satisfied and have what you need.
How long does it take to receive our photos?

I always strive to get your images to you as quickly as possible while ensuring the highest quality. We offer 2-3 week expedited delivery of your final products as a standard delivery on sessions and within 45 days for weddings.
Do you provide retouching services?

Yes, all of our delivered photos are edited for color correction, exposure, and cropping. We provide a complete full color collection of high resolution photos and we duplicate those into black and white. Some photos look better in color, some in black and white. We provide both.
Can we provide a shot list or request specific photos?

Absolutely! As part of our planning process and collaboration with you, I encourage you to share any specific requests or must-have shots with me. I will work with you to ensure we capture all the important moments and details you want.
Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes, I love traveling for destination weddings! Happy to discuss how I offer destination weddings with my clients. Reach out and send me a message.
What if it rains on our wedding day?

If it rains for a schedule session, we can rebook the session to the next available date. For weddings, I'll be sure to work with you on available options and how we can still take great photos with the rain.
Can we meet you before booking?

Of course! If you're local to Folsom, we can meet up and discuss ideas and plans, otherwise we can do a zoom call and virtual meet and greet.
Do you have insurance?

Yes, I am insured. This includes liability insurance, which many venues require from wedding photographers.
Will you be the photographer at our wedding?

Yes, when you book Chris Pritchard Studios, Chris will be your main photographer. If a second photographer is needed for your wedding, I can coordinate that with you as an added option.
Do you offer videography services?

While we specialize in photography, I can offer video services from my trusted network or artists.
