My fiancé and I came from Colorado for a destination wedding on the beach and Chris was absolutely AMAZING!
I’m so pleased with how our pictures turned out! Chris gave us a such gift with his talent, time, and expertise! He was very in-tuned to all that was going on and he caught such precious moments. After the photos were taken, he worked quickly so I could have them to send with the invitation to our reception in Colorado, which was shortly after the wedding. He completely exceeded my expectations and hopes! I am beyond thankful for Chris!
This was our first time hiring a photographer for our family pictures and we all agree that it's something we would definitely do again! Chris was great at getting all of the shots of our family. We have 15 people (4 separate families) and we each were able to get pictures of our individual families as well as our whole big family. Chris was very patient when some of the little ones wanted to be difficult. The end result was phenomenal and we couldn't be happier!
Another year of family photos in the books and they just keep getting better and better! I don’t know how it’s possible but they are so beautiful every time!
Kids loved having fun and being silly in pictures. Chris is so patient with the kids and has so many ideas of how to capture our family beautifully. Always a fun experience, but even more fun to see the amazing results. We don’t trust anyone else to capture these moments for us. 💕
We discovered Chris’s work at Down Creek Art Gallery on Ocracoke Island. We fell in love with all his work and custom frames. We purchased his sea turtles, Frisco pier and surf city pier. I looked him up on the internet and found out he did personal photos as well and knew I wanted him to take my boyfriend and my picture. When I contacted Chris he was so kind and helpful. I had never been to topsail island and he answered all my questions about where to stay and what to do. We meet him at the pier and he made us feel very relaxed. It was like we had know him forever. I believe we made a new friend. He is very professional but so easy to talk to. Our experience was fantastic and our photos turned out amazing. I love all of them and I know he is my photographer from now on.
Chris has been capturing our family for the past 6 summers! It has been the biggest gift to have these pictures done with him every year and watch our children grow up through the years. He has been incredible to work with and makes the experience so comfortable and easy especially with little kids. So organized and efficient to get all the shots done and keeping everyone smiling. We have the most beautiful progression of these prints over the years framed in our home. This is a priceless gift that we are forever grateful and look forward to continuing for years to come!
Chris, the photographs are magical. We love ALL of them! You captured so many celebrations, milestones in our family. A high school graduation, two engagements, our first grandchild and the beginning of our empty nest. We asked a lot of you with 9 people, three couples and a toddler and you exceeded every hope. We love the photographs and everyone who sees them loves them. As children become adults and start their own families, it's precious to have them all under the same roof again. You captured my heart. We are looking forward to next year.
Wanted to reach out and say thanks again. I can’t tell you how special it is to have these special family moments captured so beautifully. We will treasure these forever! I learned after sharing the photos with the rest of the family that these are the very first family photos that some of our group have EVER had. How special that you were able to capture everyone so beautifully. You are a true professional and I can’t say thank you enough!
This was the third summer we used Chris for our family beach photos (11 of us) and we plan for many years to come. We have 5 small children in the group and he was great working with them. He is always organized and keeps the session moving to make sure we get all of the individual/group shots. The thing I really like about Chris is he is always happy and willing to take anything we request, he is patient and he also has a great artistic eye to catch in the moment shots. He has allowed us to document many memories of our girls at the beach which we are very thankful for.
We had a wonderful session with Chris! He communicated very well before the session because we were working around some weather issues. There were 2 families and he was able to get some amazing shots of all of us. We ended up with nearly 700 photos to choose from. I still can’t decide which ones to frame!
I can't say enough about Chris and his ease and patience with our Family Circus of 18!! As a photographer myself, I appreciate the way he made everyone comfortable and kept the flow going strong, especially with 6 kiddos under 5!! The images were delivered very quickly and they were easy to share and view... The finished photos were more than I had hoped for with everyone happy and candid!! I would highly recommend Chris and his talents to anyone who is looking for a quality family session!!
