Award winning photography on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada.

good to know questions & answers

I LOVE YOUR IMAGES, HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?

 

To secure a date in my calendar I require a 40% retainer, and a signed contract.

I also usually suggest a phone chat to get to know each other.

You can book entirely online with E-contracts and online retainer payments.
The balance then becomes due 2 weeks before your wedding. Interact E-transfers and Credit cards are good.

 

I am completely overwhelmed with how stunning our Wedding photos are. Thank you Chris for capturing the naturally special moments – not only of Joel and I, but of our guests as well.
You have a gift for storytelling with pictures

ARE WE A GOOD FIT?

 

Yes…if you want your wedding day to be about enjoying spending valuable time with those
closest to you, and not sweating the small stuff. The images I create are dedicated to recording
those important relationships in your life. My past clients have described me variously
as professional, courteous, funny, easy going, adaptable, patient, to mention a few adjectives.
We’ll hopefully have lots of fun as well!

 

You can read the kind words of many of my past clients on my Google Business listing here.

 

You can also find me on social media below.

DO YOU WORK ALONE OR WITH AN ASSISTANT?

 

I work alone. I find this less intrusive during the wedding day. Also my couples
hire me for my vision, and not someone else’s

 

WHAT DO WE GET AS A FINAL PRODUCT?

 

All my couples receive a beautiful set of curated full size finished jpg images about 2-3 weeks post wedding.

Available for download from a private link on my website.
You can share or print these for yourselves and/or family/friends.
My couples typically receive around 50-70 images for every hour that I shoot.

 

The best are all the pictures I didn’t know he took, the ones of all our friends and family during the reception. Looking at them made us relive our wedding all over again. They invoked all the emotions we experienced. That’s something his photos will allow us to do for years to come

YOU MENTIONED TRAVEL COSTS?

 

For my summer Saturday coverages, travel on Vancouver Island is included.
For my per hour rate, travel fees apply outside of Nanaimo based on where your wedding will be.
For instance, popular destinations; Victoria is $60, and Tofino = $100.
Any destinations requiring ferries, overnight hotels, or flights will need to be
quoted on an as needed basis.

A BIT ABOUT CHRIS...

 

I actually started professional life as a geeky nerd, with an Honours Degree in Electronic/Computer Engineering. I worked in the UK Telecoms industry for over a decade.

 

I was and always have been a photographer and took the opportunity to turn it into something meaningful (and escape the 9-5 cubicle life) when I immigrated to this wonderful country called Canada in 2005. I was proud to become a Canadian Citizen in 2013.

 

During the past 17 years I’ve photographed over 750 weddings. My personal passions are all things Space/Astronomy and my Astrophotography.

 

I’m happy simply in the fact that I know the images I create will still be evoking emotions/warm feelings long after I’ve gone. I always tell my couples these images aren’t just for them, they are for their grandchildren, and their children as well.
