Our Philosophy & Vision
Chris
Hernandez
Creative Director | Filmmaker | Photographer | Editor
Our philosophy is rooted in the elegance of authenticity, where every moment is documented with a unique approach—through the lenses of photojournalism and documentary filmmaking.
While I appreciate the beauty of posed, vogue-esque portraits, my true love in the art lies in unveiling the raw, unfiltered moments that define your love. It is in these fleeting instances, the subtle glances, the shared laughter, and the quiet embraces, where the true beauty of your relationship shines and I aim to document just that; you and your beloved just as you are, in all your natural beauty.
My artistry seeks to encapsulate the intimate moments of your wedding day, portraying them in a way that resonates with the depth and richness of your love. I often ask myself: if someone who never knew you—perhaps a great-grandchild or a distant relative—were to watch your film or view your wedding photos, would they feel as if they knew you? Would they sense your quirks, your laughter, your charisma, and the boundless joy you share? I wish to help give that answer with the photos or films I create for you.
The answer to these questions is the cornerstone of my creative pursuit. I strive to craft a visual narrative that feels as if it spans a lifetime, making everyone feel as If they knew you, if they haven’t had the honor already. My team and I aim to be as minimally intrusive as possible, capturing the day as it unfolds naturally, and ensuring that every precious moment is remembered just as it was.
I don’t wish to just document weddings; I wish to capture all your unforgettable moments into a timeless story so you can never forget them.
