    Chris is the BEST! We HIGHLY recommend!

    My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Chris as the photographer and videographer for our wedding.

    Chris is an incredible artist and the photos from our wedding are STUNNING. We are floored by how beautiful they are --- they truly look like they're from a high-end bridal magazine that I would look at and dream about as little girl.

    I appreciated how Chris made sure he got the shot, but then took risks and tried creative ideas that turned out better than I could have ever imagined. The photos and videos are pieces of art that we will treasure forever. Chris did a fabulous, fabulous job.

    Not only did Chris deliver high-end, high-quality photos & videos, but he was an absolute joy to be with on our wedding day. Something people may not realize is that your photographer will be with you throughout every moment of your wedding day. The photographer's energy is incredibly important as it can impact the tone of the group. Chris is incredibly professional, but has a super fun and vibrant energy. Not only did my husband and I enjoy being with him, but our bridal party and guests did as well.

    Chris was professional, responsive, accommodating - literally everything you could want from a wedding vendor. On top of all of that, the work he delivers is exquisite.

    We would hire him again and again and again - we highly recommend!

    Chris Is Amazing!

    When planning our wedding, choosing the right photographer was one of the most important decisions to us and I can't tell you how happy we are that we chose Chris. He has the most incredible energy that is professional, yet so much fun, and puts everyone at ease from the second you meet him. After working with him for 5 minutes, my husband and I both felt like he had been a friend for years!
    From our initial phone conversation all the way to the last minute of our wedding night, it was so apparent how much Chris genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments of our wedding weekend. Chris arrived to our location in Vail, CO days early to scout all the best locations for a variety of photos and he did not disappoint-- They are nothing short of breathtaking and we will cherish them forever! When the weather wasn't cooperating, he was completely flexible with schedule changes and went above and beyond to ensure I got the outdoor, mountain photos I so desperately wanted. He was able to capture all of the emotions of the weekend with beautiful candids but also orchestrate editorial-like photos without making us feel posed or corny in any way. He was so positive, organized, fast, and fun, and as a result, he was able to bring out the best sides of us, our families, and our wedding parties. And to top it all off, we received an incredible preview gallery (with hundreds of photos!) just two days after our wedding and the full gallery in record time. If you have the opportunity to work with Chris, RUN don't walk to hire him, you won't regret it!

    Hire Chris! 100%

    Hiring Chris as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made! A photographer doesn’t just create memorable pictures - they are responsible for SO much of the energy and the vibe that day. The quality of Chris’ pictures are unmatched and that’s reason enough to hire him, but he is also the most creative, friendly, and supportive photographer I’ve ever met. He helped us more during our wedding day than our own coordinator. I would hire Chris every single time. It’s a no brainer decision. SO happy and a huge thank you

    Dream wedding photos!

    Chris was the first vendor I ever followed on social media after my engagement. I immediately knew that I wanted to use him for my wedding. With all the stressors of planning a wedding, I was never once stressed about the photography because I had so much confidence in his work. When the wedding day came, I found out that I was more than correct! He was so cool, calming, and confident on the day of. Our guests asked about him because they wanted to follow him and be friends with him lol. Our family members commented on how great he was. He was a hit all around. Once we started seeing his preview shots we immediately knew our decision was the right one. Looking at our full album makes me so incredibly happy. Everything was captured so well, I have zero regrets and could not recommend Chris more! I can guarantee you’ll be happy with your decision. My husband and I still consider him a friend to this day. We love Chris and will cherish the photos forever!

    Best experience ever!

    Choosing the right photographer to photograph your wedding is probably one of the most important decisions. I'm not a person who writes reviews on a regular basis, but our daughter's wedding was so special that I just had to let everyone searching for a wedding photographer know how AMAZING Chris is. I wish I could post every one of the pictures he took, but there isn't enough space for that! Chris is truly an artistic genius. He captured each and every moment with creativity and perfection. Chris made everyone feel at ease especially my daughter and son-in-law. He was great with our 2 1/2 year old grandson and was able to capture the most amazing pictures of him that I will always cherish. He was so professional, yet playful in a way that made everyone feel comfortable and have fun. Everyone always dreads doing the family pics after the ceremony because they don't want to miss the party. Chris was so organized, he photographed both families in a timely manner so that the bride and groom could enjoy the last portion of the cocktail party. The twilight pictures were just over the top! We couldn't believe how fast we got the previews and the entire gallery. I can't recommend Chris enough. You won't regret your decision. He was worth every penny and more!

    We couldn't be happier!

    Having Chris & his team capture our wedding day was truly a dream. Making sure we chose the right photographer was one of the most important decisions to us & was definitely the decision we were most most stressed about - we wanted to get it right! From the initial phone call we had upon meeting Chris, we knew he was (with 100% certainty) the one for us. Chris was so personable and easy to talk to. He shared a ton of great advice & we actually drew a lot of inspiration for the wedding from that initial conversation. From that phone call on, we felt such relief & were nothing but excited about having Chris capture our day!

    On the day of the wedding, all of our guests were so impressed with the team's energy, guidance and talent. They were such a fun yet professional group. Chris was so comforting & was everything we needed in each and every moment.

    Both our love & the entire essence of our wedding was so beautifully captured. We have photos that we've always dreamed of & will cherish them forever. We truly look forward to reliving our special day several times over as we enjoy going through our album in the years to come. We are so thankful to have been connected with Chris & couldn't possibly recommend him highly enough!

    Amazingggg

    We researched the best photographers in Maui and quickly realized Chris and his team were the best. We asked him to take our engagement photos in San Francisco last minute and he was super cooperative and scheduled us in! I was super nervous and awkward about taking pictures but he was so easy going, funny, upbeat, and made us feel comfortable right away. At the wedding, he was so good at helping everything run smoothly and our parents and bridal party couldn't stop raving about our photographers. We're so thankful and happy Chris was our photographer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

    We couldn’t be happier

    Chris Evans is one of the nicest people we’ve ever encountered. We feel extraordinarily blessed that he was available to shoot our wedding and engagement photographs. He made us feel extremely comfortable and we were confident that he would deliver straight magic. We are so happy with our photos and that we were able to work with such a down to earth guy! We recommend him 100/10!

    Best of the best!

    Chris and his team are the best in the business. From turning up in a suit on the day to making everyone feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Our makeup artist said "Chris was the best on the island" and we definitely saw why! Chris creates absolute magic and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to my family, friends and anyone that will listen!

    Beyond Impressive

    We had such an amazing experience with Chris and his team.They were extremely helpful from start to finish, assisting us in getting ready, giving direction and making us feel very comfortable and special on our wedding day. They are extremely professional, experienced, and fun to work with. Our guests even raved about them. The preview pictures we’ve seen so far are out of this world amazing and captures moments in detail that words can’t express. My mother could not attend my wedding and when she saw the preview pics she called back crying with how beautiful and amazing they were. That right there speaks for itself. Thank you to Chris and his team for the amazing experience and breathtaking pictures on our wedding day. Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. And we look forward to working with you again in the future. 💯 % Recommend Chris and his team!!!

    Ethereal Elopement

    Chris took our elopement photos in Maui. He was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. He has an upbeat, positive attitude and really takes any nerves away from the process. He's also really funny. He helped us get into the poses that made for perfect moments and also captured sweet, organic moments between us. I'm so happy we chose Chris to photograph such a special time in our lives. The photos are an ethereal dream -- something we'll be proud to revisit through the years the come. Thank you Chris!

    We loved CJE and his crew of gentlemen!

    Chris has an amazing energy and enthusiasm for his work. You can really feel his passion for photography and genuine interest and enjoyment of the couples he works with. Along with this energy comes a flare for the dramatic in photos, and really captures some fantastic, stand out shots on a day when you're looking and feeling your best. It's great to have memories that really showcase us and bring us back to this day. Chris and his team were so much fun to work with. Both our wedding party and multiple guests commented on how much they enjoyed him and his crew. He provided direction and guidance on poses for what makes a great photograph, yet he was also receptive to any specific photos we requested throughout the process. Chris has been with us since the beginning, even capturing our real-time engagement photos, so he will always be a special part of our journey. We really enjoyed working with Chris and his team! We will be part of the #shakawoocrew for life!

    10 stars!!!

    Chris Evans is the best of the BEST. We had endless compliments on our wedding photos. Our guest enjoyed his high-energy, good humor, professionalism, and good style. He captured all the littles details that you wouldn’t have expected to capture. Chris knew how to organize people quickly to get the best shot. We’re that couple who’s not really into posing or taking pictures, but Chris made us feel so comfortable and made it enjoyable. He had an eye for the best angle. He captured the wedding the EXACT way I had envisioned, and then some! I wish I could give him 10 stars on everything. He is FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥

    Chris is the Best there is

    Chris is an incredible photographer! His photos are perfectly composed, technically flawless, and they truly capture the joy in every moment. We had only just met, but it felt like Chris was an old friend coming back for a reunion. He brings out the best in those around him, and it shows in his work. I am so happy that Chris could be a part of my wedding day! His photos will bring me smiles for years to come.

    Photographic Artist

    My bride and I are generally low key people, but when it came to our wedding we really wanted to give a special effort to find and add elements that we would remember for a lifetime. We incorporated many “hidden gems” into our overall vision and wanted the photographs to match this spirit. We are so fortunate to have found Chris to take our photographs. He is professional, personable, a great communicator, efficient, adaptable, daring, and most importantly an Artist. The photographs are beautiful. To have some compositions from your special day that have a “Je ne sais quoi” quality to them is a blessing. Thank you Chris !!

    Exquisite Photographs, Wonderful Photographer

    Choosing Chris as our wedding photographer elevated what was already the best day of our lives into an exquisite, unforgettable masterpiece. His photos are absolutely breathtaking; he captured who we are at our very best, with jaw-droppingly gorgeous backdrops, poses, and that je ne sais quoi of a true artist’s work. His photos belong on the glossy pages of high fashion magazines; I am continually overwhelmed that I would be featured in them. The photos he took of our wedding are our most prized possessions. When we posted them on social media, we were floored by the overwhelming response and continually told that they were the best wedding photographs our friends and family had ever seen.


    In addition to producing the most gorgeous shots we have ever seen, Chris is an absolute joy to work with. He is high energy and upbeat, but he makes you feel comfortable and at ease. You feel as though you’ve nailed every shot, because unlike some photographers he does not force anything, correct you, or micromanage. He also makes you comfortable to try shots you would otherwise balk at-- he took many “fierce” high fashion style photos of us that we originally thought we’d never be able to pull off, but ended up being among our very favorites. His experience and expertise shows when with just a few words, he elicits the most unbelievable shots.

    Even if he hadn’t have given us the stunning photos in the world, I would have been so happy to have had him at our wedding day. He is always fun, complimentary, and dressed to the nines (matching your dress code of course). So many wedding guests told us that he was the best photographer they had ever seen.

    He has outstanding professionalism, kindness in your every interaction, eagerness to go above and beyond the call of duty, and he returned a simply staggering amount of photos within days of the wedding.

    When I mentioned who our photographer was to each of our wedding vendors in the area, they all affirmed what a wonderful choice we had made. Chris has a fantastic reputation. Maybe too good-- after working with him, my bridesmaids and engaged guests are now having trouble choosing a photographer in our hometown of Seattle, because they say that no photographer’s portfolio comes even close to the work Chris did at our wedding.

    Choosing Chris will be the absolute best decision for your wedding. I wish I could rate him higher than this website allows!

    Beyond incredible!

    Chris is the best photographer I've ever encountered. He made everyone feel relaxed and yet gave just the right amount of direction to make all the photos pop. He's photographed countless weddings and won numerous awards for his work, and it really shows.
    Hiring him for our wedding was the best decision we made hands down.

    Could not have been more perfect

    My husband and I just got married at the Four Seasons resort in Maui. Chris was on the preferred vendors list, and I’m so glad that he is the photographer that we chose. Most importantly, he is an amazing person who really adds to your wedding day. He knows how to make you genuinely laugh and smile... which makes for a much better picture.

    His photography skills are unparalleled. We were so amazed when we saw the pictures that he sent us of our wedding day. He captured all of the things that we were feeling that day so that we could remember it forever ( and share with our families)

    Outstanding work and incredible guy. Thank you!
