THE ULTIMATE TAHOE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Emotionally candid photography for adventurous mountain lovers

I’m Chris, and I photograph people who love each other and want to celebrate their love in the stunning natural landscape of Lake Tahoe. From engagement to wedding photography, it’s a privilege to capture the incredible emotional connection between two people in the great outdoors, and leave them with memories to treasure.

THE TAHOE EXPERIENCE

I’m Chris

MOUNTAIN LOVER, JOY SEEKER AND CHOCOLATE ENTHUSIAST

Following a lifelong passion for photography, I set up my business as a Tahoe-based photographer in 2011. I have since photographed hundreds of awesome couples, weddings and portraits in Lake Tahoe and across the world – happily realizing my childhood dream to travel the world and photograph people in far-flung places.
