Emma and Arjan’s engagement session at Newport Beach felt like a quiet love letter written by the sea. The waves rolled in softly, their rhythm steady and timeless, as if echoing the calm, unspoken bond between them. The golden light of the setting sun stretched across the shore, catching the shimmer of the sand and casting a glow that seemed to wrap them in warmth.
They walked together along the water’s edge, their laughter mingling with the gentle crash of the waves. Emma’s dress fluttered in the breeze, her smile as radiant as the sun dipping into the horizon. Arjan’s hand rested lightly in hers, his gaze steady and full of quiet adoration. Overhead, birds circled and dipped, their flight as effortless as the love shared between these two.
With every step, the sand shifted beneath their feet—a reminder of how fleeting moments can feel, yet how they leave an imprint all the same. The ocean stretched endlessly before them, vast and open, much like the life they are about to share.
Emma and Arjan’s time at Newport Beach wasn’t about posing or perfection. It was about the small, beautiful things: the way they leaned into each other, the way the tide played at their feet, the way they felt completely at home in each other’s presence. Their love, like the shore and the sea, is a gentle yet powerful force—unspoken, unbreakable, and beautifully alive.
We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our engagement photos, wedding photos and our wedding video, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos and video, Chris was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does & it shows through his work. He took the time to get to know us & was sure to understand our vision for our pictures and video. Throughout whole process, communication with Chris was always easy, and he got back to us very quickly answering any questions or concerns that we had. With every session, Chris captured our special moments with such creativity and attention to detail. He made us feel comfortable and at ease, which easily made the candid shots our absolute favorite pictures. We were blown away by how beautifully his whole team captured the atmosphere and not only our emotions, but our loved ones as well. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was within the timeline stated on our contract, and the presentation of the final product was stunning. We’re so grateful that we got to know & work with Chris, and forever grateful for him for capturing our day so perfectly!

Chris and his team did a beyond amazing job on not just our engagement and wedding photos but our wedding video as well! We shared our wedding film numerous times, and every one always falls in love with it.
Chris made us feel so comfortable expressing our vision of what we were looking for in our wedding video and photography vision. There was never any request he was not open too. When we expressed we wanted super 8 film, as well as 35mm film, he explained in great detail how it would look, and the process of it all, and we knew he was the right choice to go with!
Chris and his team were extremely professional, and helped guide us through the day. Posing us, taking our input into consideration, and making sure we had fun on our day! Even with heavy mist in San Francisco, Chris and his team made our wedding photography and video a 10/10 experience!
Our photography and video are amazing, it’s beyond beautiful! We could not thank you enough! There is no doubt that it was worth the investment. Every second of this film, and every beautiful piece of audio, filled our hearts with absolute joy!
We are forever thankful for choosing Chris!

Having Chris as our photographer was amazing! I am super awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera and I thought all the photos of me and my partner would come out looking the same way as I felt…awkward. But Chris was so so helpful making me loosen up and relax and made taking pictures together really fun! He would help us in posing and also being candid and making everything flow. I was completely blown away by the pictures he sent! I still have his photos as my background I am obsessed. When he showed me the video version of our shoot, I cried the entire time. It is such a nice memory to have in motion like that. 100000/10 would recommend.
