I'm Cris, a moment driven wedding photographer from Stafford in Staffordshire. My style of photography isn't about setting up loads of posed and static shots, its about capturing something real and authentic. I look for moments, interactions, excitement and emotion so your wedding photos are unique, just like your wedding and the people you shared it with.
It's the real moments that truly matter which is why primarily I'm a documentary wedding photographer in Staffordshire. By spending more time photographing real moments and capturing what's really going on your photos are a true reflection of the story of your wedding. My style of wedding photography is all about keeping it real, I wont be doing all the traditional generic stuff of days gone by that has no substance.

So a bit about me, I'm a full time wedding and family photographer from Stafford. I'm happily married and live with my wife Katie (who as it turns out was a fantastically tolerant model in the early days). We've got two kids - a gorgeous daughter, Ava, who was born in 2013 and an awesome son Finley who was born in 2015.
Different photographers and different styles of photography require a different approach on the wedding day itself. With my style being documentary based I approach the day with a very relaxed approach, the last thing I want is your guests to think "uh-oh, heres the guy with the camera again". Often clients will complement me by saying they hardly noticed I was there and this is great.
It's good to meet ahead of the day and get to know one another, see more of my work and have any remaining questions you may have answered. Then before the wedding we can catch up again to go through the schedule in finer detail. If you're not local we can Skype. Photography from getting the ready stage right through to the evening celebrations.
There simply is no better way to tell the story of your wedding than to preserve it in a high quality album. I offer a range of stunning albums to cater for different tastes and budgets. Stunning quality leather-bound album with superior print quality on matte fine art paper. This album is one of the finest products on the market today and I'm very pleased to offer it to my clients.
Photographs bring back memories and form part of the family heritage for future generation. In this age of Facebook and Instagram we take so many pictures of our loved ones (and ourselves!), but usually they are displayed only on the internet, compressed to low resolution and lost forever when we update our phone.

So glad we picked Cris to be our photographer for our wedding! He is so lovely and a great laugh as well as professional! You barely notice he is even there which is great! He just fits in like one of the guests. We have received our photos back and they are amazing!! Lots of them, I didn't even realise he was taking pictures! He got so many natural shots which are the best! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Cris was amazing from the minute we chose him to be our photographer right through to receiving our photos and we really can't recommend him enough
He made us feel really relaxed and comfortable on our day and captured every single moment of our day perfectly, We always knew our photos would be amazing as we picked Cris for the reason that we loved his style of photography but when we received ours photos we was totally blown away, We love every single one and they tell a story of exactly how our day was
Thank you so much Cris we are so glad that we chose you

We had to Cris shoot our wedding in August 2021 and he was truly amazing. His work speaks for itself but Cris as a person is extremely professional and understanding. When we initially enquired about his services he was very welcoming, not pushy in the slightest and he took the time to get to know us, he was very polite and instantly made us feel comfortable. Cris was very organised leading up to the big day which gave us confidence and 1 thing less to worry about. On the day Cris pretty much blended in the crowd and captured some amazing “in the moment” photo’s and was very accommodating

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Cris is absolutely fantastic at capturing every detail of your special day. From start to finish Cris was relaxed and professional. I would highly recommend to anyone, he doesn't bombard you with unwanted poses (We all know this can be a pain) and blends in well like a wedding guest. Thank you so much Cris ❤ Daniella & Alex

Would definitely recommend Cris to anyone! He was brilliant throughout the build up to our wedding, and great on our wedding day!
He was a calming influence on the day, very experienced and knew the venue very well so made the day so much easier for us. Even during the organised group photos where everyone suddenly decides to go missing he was so relaxed.
Now we’ve seen the photos we couldn’t be happier. They came back quicker than expected and look great, really tell the story of the day.
Can’t recommend him enough and was a pleasure to have you at our wedding!

We booked Cris as our wedding photographer in June this year, it was a confusing decision as we know nothing about photography but it was the best decision! He perfectly captured our little DIY wedding and we love going through all the photos he took. His style really matched us and our day being relaxed, friendly and story telling rather than lots of posed photos. He made us and our guests feel really at ease, sometimes I forgot he was there shooting away and others he was making great conversation with everyone.
I'm normally slightly awkward in photos so I was worried about the day, but even

We were very lucky to have Cris as our Wedding Photographer. He honesty captured so many special emotive photos of both us and our nearest and dearest that we will treasure always. The photos truly capture the story of the day. Cris has the patience of a Saint.... Just to name a few examples... We were running late and he still came back from the church to capture my Dad seeing me in the dress for the first time, he battled swans at our favourite lake shot too (this was no easy task!). Then when we came to doing our wedding album he made sure it was perfect down to every last detail and we were

We had the privilege of choosing Cris to be our wedding photographer on our big day this August. From our first consultation, Cris made us feel like his own family. He provided a really relaxed, unobtrusiveness style and we barely knew he was there. Our photos came through last week and he managed to tell the story of our day perfectly, capturing all the real moments due to his unique style. I wouldn't look any further when considering a photographer for you big day!

Cris photographed our daughter's wedding in February of this year and was truly excellent. He went above and beyond, helping out with some stuff on the day, took me to get the flowers from the florist and was all round more helpful than we had any reason to expect. He had great ideas for shots and has a grasp for this sort of photography that makes it all seem like childs play, though I know from our own wedding this is definitely not the case. The portfolio of pictures that resulted are all superb and my wife has had several printed for places at home and for relatives. Our daughter actually said
