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.
