Huge shoutout to our amazing photographer for capturing engagement event so beautifully! 💍📸 From the very first inquiry, he was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all my questions and helping us plan out the shoot details perfectly. He arrived well ahead of time to set up, scout the best spots, and make sure everything was just right before the guests arrived.
Even though it was a culturally different type of event, you’d never know it — he adapted so effortlessly, showing genuine interest and respect for every moment and tradition. His friendly personality and calm energy instantly put everyone at ease, and he made the entire experience so natural and enjoyable.
Throughout the afternoon, he captured every emotion — from religious ceremony, laughter and candid moments to the sweetest family interactions — without ever being intrusive. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect shots, and it truly shows in the photos. The pictures turned out absolutely stunning — vibrant, full of life, and perfectly reflecting the love and joy of the day.
Thank you again for being such a pleasure to work with and for helping us preserve these memories so beautifully. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone professional, talented, and fun to work with! 🙌✨
Details: Couples portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was truly a joy capturing your wedding engagement celebration—every detail and tradition made the day so special. I’m so glad you felt comfortable in front of the camera and that the photos reflect the love and energy of your event.
As a wedding and engagement photographer based in Winston-Salem and serving clients throughout North Carolina (and beyond), my goal is always to create timeless, authentic images that tell your story beautifully. I’m grateful you trusted me to be part of such an important milestone, and I can’t wait to capture more memories for you in the future!
In addition to wedding and engagement photography, I also photograph corporate and personal events, commercial projects, professional headshots, and family portraits throughout Winston-Salem, the Triad, and most of North Carolina.

Getting my headshots with Chris was a phenomenal experience. Chris is warm and engaging, making the photo taking process relaxing and joy filled. I loved my finished photos, I had so many to choose from and I will be able to use them years to come. I highly recommend booking with Chris for your photo needs.
