This is about you two
What does this wedding mean to you? Could you place value on the family and friends there? This moment is sacred and photographs are all you have left from the day.
Having documented hundreds of weddings in the last 18-years, I guarantee you will have an unforgettably calming experience. I pride myself on cultivating a loving and accepting vibe for all my clients. Your wedding day isn't a performance. It's about you two, your friends and family. I work either by myself or with an assistant to document the day without compromising the atmosphere for those in attendance. I will always be compassionate about your needs and your family's dynamics. I have seen the worse of light and the worse of weather to keep you at ease to deliver the absolute best photos possible from your wedding.
"Chris was amazing! Very communicative and easy going. He had a spot at New River Gorge he usually shot at, but my husband and I wanted to elope at the spot we first went rock climbing. Not only was Chris open to shooting at Bridge Buttress, he was willing to climb up the gross rope with us to get to the top. He had a very quick turnaround and the photos were beautiful! I would recommend him for any event."

Wedding Portfolio
“We hired Chris to be our wedding photographer, and were blown away by the amazing work that he did. His photos felt personalized to us and our relationship and all exceeded our expectations. He managed to make us and our venue look amazing in every photo. Chris has a great personality and all of our vendors and wedding party loved working with him.”
- Lyndsey O’Dell, The Gaines Estate 2024
"Chris went all out for our elopement photography, and I am so thankful that I chose him. He was able to make us feel relaxed, candid, and truly captured the emotions of that day. He had no problem with some of my crazy ideas and early morning ceremony. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who thinks outside the box and will treat you respectfully through the whole process."

"If I could give Chris 100 stars, I would! Chris photographed our wedding in June in Davis, WV. We knew we wanted someone who could photograph the wonderful moments from our big day, but someone who could also incorporate the beauty of the mountains and landscape in a very special place. He was really easy going, very familiar with the area and was an expert on when and where to go to get the money shots! Not to mention, was really cool about carting my husband and I all around town to get some of the photos we really wanted. The photos we got back exceeded our expectations and we will treasure them forever. If you're looking for a photographer who knows the WV area really well, is an expert behind the lens, is amazing at capturing the big moments and scenery and is a wonderful person to work with- Chris is your
guy!"
- Erin Ingeholm, Davis, WV 2023
"If you’re considering an adventure elopement, Chris is the photographer you want by your side. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Not only did he capture incredible photos, but he also fully embraced the adventure by mountain biking with us and making us feel like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a photographer.
One of the highlights of our day was a trail Chris recommended that we never would have found on our own. It ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire elopement and made the experience even more unique and memorable. His local knowledge, adventurous spirit, and genuine excitement for creating an incredible experience made all the difference.
The photos are absolutely stunning, but what we’ll remember just as much is how much fun we had throughout the day. Chris didn’t just document our elopement—he helped make it an unforgettable adventure. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!"
- Katie Bernard - Davis, WV 2026
"From the very beginning, working with Chris was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Planning an intimate mountain elopement from out of state could have been stressful, but Chris made the entire experience feel effortless. He was incredibly organized, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process, and we always felt like we were in great hands.
On our wedding day, Chris went above and beyond. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, even though neither of us is naturally confident being photographed. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. He captured genuine moments that truly reflect who we are as a couple.
When we received our gallery, we were blown away. Every single photo tells a story, and somehow Chris perfectly captured not only the incredible scenery but also every emotion we experienced that day. Looking through our photos felt like reliving our wedding all over again. The images are timeless, artistic, and more beautiful than we ever imagined. We honestly had a difficult time narrowing them down because there were so many favorites.
If you’re considering booking Chris for your elopement or wedding, don’t hesitate. This was one of the best investments we made, and we’ll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Chris, for giving us memories we’ll be able to relive forever."

"We had such a great experience with Chris! He went above and beyond to make sure we got some amazing photos and took us to some of the most beautiful places around Elkins and the surrounding area. He was great to work with, communicated really well, and made the whole process super easy.
The pictures turned out absolutely amazing and we couldn’t be happier with them. Chris clearly knows the area and knows how to capture some incredible shots. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!"
