Hands down the best photographer

For my first wedding we decided to just take our own photos and were very disappointed in our results. Having the opportunity to do it again, I knew I wanted to hire a professional this time. I wasn't sure I could afford it. I had been following Chris's work on Flickr for years and thought I would just ask if he might consider shooting our wedding.

When Chris said yes, I was blown away. His style of photography is so distinct and creative. I couldn't believe he was going to be our photographer. He was very flexible and creative in helping us come up with a solution within our budget. He took command and orchestrated a fantastic experience with incredible lighting and photos that exceeded all of my hopes and visions. Beyond that, Chris was so calm and professional. During the ceremony he went unnoticed yet surprised us with his shot selection and ability to capture the moments.

I cannot recommend Pritchard Photography enough. If you want the very best for your wedding, this is it.

Thank you Chirs!!

Highly recommended creative photographer!

Chris has the eye. He sees what others might not see, captures it with a mastery over light and composition, and knows when to move on to the next brilliant moment. Chris was very easy to work with; able to craft family shots to accommodate our needs and keep things flowing. He also did conceptual shots with the two of us and careful production afterward that we consider more like fine art on our wall. I recommend him with full confidence.
