Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My goal is to always capture the energy and the actual feeling of the event. If I can capture that with the camera, and recreate it with my editing, I feel accomplished. My editing style is one of a kind. For weddings, I want you to feel like you are there all over again. I enjoy the opportunity to meet new people and the freedom to travel anywhere. I love creating videos and pictures that captivate people and stop them from moving and get lost in my work, at least for a little while.

My husband and I went through countless photographer profiles before looking at Happened By Chance. We interviewed a few others before meeting with him face to face and we felt a great connection with him. His whole demeanor was exactly what we wanted out of a photographer. He was very laid back and confident with his work, which his photos showed are absolutely gorgeous! I come from a large Spanish family and a big concern of mine was getting photos of everyone and having a photographer keep up with everyone at the reception. Chance really exceeded my expectations with the quality of photos, the moments he captured and how much easier he made my wedding day. I usually don't do reviews but I'm just so pleased with how things turned out I can't resist reviewing!! My advice for anyone looking is to interview Chance first and save the trouble and stress of all the others. I would give him 6/5 stars if I could.

Chance was great to work with! We met with him before the wedding and he took notes of what we were looking for specifically and delivered that on our wedding day. He was there from the time we started getting ready in the morning to the time we left our reception in the afternoon. We asked him to record my husband and I reading personal letters to each other and he went above and beyond by finding a way to incorporate those into our wedding video. During the ceremony, he was very discrete. No one even noticed he was there and he never got in the way. I had seen videographers get in the way before at other weddings I attended and so I was very thankful he did the great job that he did. He was very easy and pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him! His prices are amazing and the high quality job he does, you think you would have paid a lot more for his services and products than what you actually did. Thank you for making our wedding day a memorable one to last a lifetime!

It was not planned but I sure am glad we had “Happened by Chance” to catch all the memories we missed. For the past year I thought, “Save Money. Save Money. No video”, but I was also scared that I would regret not having a video of one of the most precious days in our lives. With two weeks left before the big day, I changed my mind and I found Chance. He was available, friendly, and most of all understanding of our situation. I booked him about a week out from the BIG day and I have no regrets. He was AWESOME! On time, professional, flexible, approachable, and was always camera ready for anything that came up. I do not remember every detail from that day or all the sweet words that were shared during the speeches but at least now I have the video to remind me of all the love that was shared on that day. Thank you Chance!
