This review is long overdue! I can not thank Chris enough for the absolutely amazing photos! I had seen his work for years and he was my dream photographer, and not to disappoint he was a dream come true! During all the stressful moments that come with a wedding he was there with a smile and he put me at ease. He turned a rainy wedding day into something amazing. The end product was amazing and I am beyond happy at how everything turned out. Not only professional but a loving and caring person that shined through my entire day. Thank you Chris for being amazing! More...

I could not more highly recommend Chris and La Brisa Photography for your wedding day! My wife and I have consistently marveled at the work Chris did on our special day. It simply wouldn't have been the same without him! He wasn't just a photographer, he was truly an added friend. He was always ten steps ahead of everyone else, getting the shots that no one else could have and managing to capture emotions in a way that has allow us to re-live the day each time we view the photos. Chris worked on overdrive the entire day, never lacking energy or excitement. He was the one who set our schedule and helped the day flow smoothly and kept my wife at ease. More than being an incredible photographer, he was an awesome guy to be around. My groomsmen, the bridesmaids, and the whole wedding party loved him and we felt like he was just one of the group! If you want unique, outstanding photos taken by a highly skilled and personable photographer, you want La Brisa! More...

When my now fiancé proposed, I knew one of the most important decisions I had to make during wedding planning was the photographer. Luckily, I knew just who I wanted to capture our special day – Chris and La Brisa Photography! I met Chris when he shot my friend’s wedding in Kansas in 2012. He was fun and personable, and the photos were fantastic. The more I saw Chris’ work, the more I knew he had the eye I wanted in the photos that would spark fond memories of our wedding for years to come. He uses light, texture and detail to bring out the emotion of an occasion. As I got down to wedding planning, I asked Chris what dates in April 2017 he had available. I was all ready to spend 9 months of engagement prepping for a wedding. Yet not more than 30 days into wedding planning I freaked out. My amazing fiancé handled a couple days of crazy while I debated options, finally settling on a much faster “surprise” wedding held at a family member’s home in Houston. Poor Chris probably thought I was nuts! Our decision to have our engagement party turned surprise wedding on September 18 was based on two factors – my fiance’s work schedule and Chris’ availability. And boy, it was worth it! Two Skype sessions later it was locked down and Chris was almost as excited about surprising our guests as we were! His availability to his couples, via phone, email, or even joining in at our friend get together the Saturday night before the “surprise” makes Chris a not only a phenomenal person but a superb secret keeper. The wedding day, Chris and his second shooter, Rebecca, were everywhere, shooting, talking to guests and even helping us stick to the typical wedding traditions. I believe Chris’ images speak for themselves – PHENOMENAL. Personally, Chris is a positive person to be around, smiling, offering a hand and sticking with the couple to shoot in a cattle pasture in 90-degrees AFTER shooting a full wedding! I can only say that if you want the best, go with Chris and La Brisa! More...

I wish I could put more than 5 stars. Chris is the best photographer I have ever met. He is very passionate, professional, and all around a great guy. Usually taking photos can be an awkward and tedious process. With Chris behind the camera, it is an exciting and fun time. Lisa and I were laughing and smiling with every photo taken. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to use La Brisa!! More...

Chris is an extremely talented photographer who I would recommend to anyone! He traveled to Mexico for my brother's wedding and became part of our family! He is organized and kept us on schedule but also very understanding when things don't go as planned. The moments that he captured during the trip and wedding are pictures that should be in a magazine and ones we will cherish! More...

Chris from La Brisa Photography was our dream photographer from the start! Not only did he capture our personalities to the T, he made us feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire process.
We relied heavily on Chris and his wedding day schedule to help us keep track of the day, and there wasn't a single hiccup. It was a blessing to have such an experienced photographer and genuine human being guiding and capturing our perfect day.
We recommend La Brisa to all of our newly engaged friends and family because we know they will love him and their photos as much as we love ours.

Words cannot express how happy and grateful we are for Chris and his amazing photography skills. I met Chris a few years ago when he came to do some photography for the veterinary clinic where I worked and again at a good friend's wedding. I knew after experiencing the way he interacted with the wedding party and seeing his amazing photos, I was hooked. Chris isn't just a fantastic photographer, he is a fantastic person. When Ryan and I met up with Chris to take some engagement photos, he took great care of us. He took the time to get to know us and our story. He used that to help us relax and take excellent photos. I have never found myself to be photogenic and Ryan does not like being in photos. Chris made the session effortless. On our wedding day, Chris was another friend that shared in our day. He helped us plan the timing of the day, who we wanted to include in photos, and some special shots we wanted to take. He helped us stay on schedule and was loved by all of our friends and family. His ability to create awesome situations for photos, laughter and bring out our love was one of the best parts of the day. Chris also gave us wonderful advise about spending enough time with each other during the day and savoring particularly special moments. Chris is just wonderful all around. If you are looking for a highly skilled photographer with fantastic people skills, Chris is your man. More...

I cannot say enough about how AMAZING Chris is! He thinks of every detail and makes sure you don't have any worries on your big day. He is so kind and caring and thoughtful; he really makes you feel like your photos are THE most important photos he's ever taken! He covered every single aspect of our wedding day from the minute we got up in the morning until the very end of the night AND gave us preview photos the very same night! I am SO happy we chose him and his friends for our wedding and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a big event or smaller portrait sessions. More...

We love Chris! He came to Mexico for our wedding and we are so incredibly happy he was our photographer. I am a pretty awkward person behind the camera, but Chris immediately made me feel comfortable and it was so much fun taking pictures! Everyone was commenting on how wonderful it was having him around and how incredible the pictures are. I honestly cannot stop looking at our pictures because they are so fantastic! It is going to be difficult deciding which ones to hang up! Thanks Chris! More...

Chris is both highly professional and highly personable. He was not only a wedding photographer, but a baby-holder, mascara-retriever, and a massive support to the bride and bridal party. And the photos speak for themselves—incredible. Couldn’t recommend him enough! More...

There aren’t words to express how happy and amazed we are with Chris of La Brisa. I had seen his work for years on Facebook and always thought it would be great to get to have him take our pictures. I reached out and heard back immediately (with enthusiasm) that the date for our wedding worked with our scheduled. We met for the first time at our engagement shoot and let me just say my husband was worried about the whole thing because he is not a guy who like to pose for pictures. During our first outfit change he told me how cool he thought Chris was and how easy it was to be ourselves and that he was really happy we choose him. (YAY) Before the weeding we had a few skype sessions with Chris to discuss the upcoming wedding. I was shocked at the things he went over; I was not expecting him to do so much for us and our guests. My favorite thing I loved about Chris was he made sure to keep reminding us that it was OUR day, and to take time to ourselves and soak in every minute. And let me tell you how much that helps to have your photographer slow things down for you, rather than rush you through your wedding day!!! ALSO, Chris could read me, after only meeting me one time. He could tell when I was a little stress, and got me out of that situation, he could tell when I needed a break from the 98 degrees temp in my 12 layer wedding dress. Every step of the way was perfect, and saying he is amazing is an understatement. And I cannot thank him enough for capturing our day so amazingly. We cannot wait to have more events so we can have Chris photograph them! More...

Chris was the best wedding photographer I have worked with. He was so fun, remembered all our names, had great picture ideas and it felt like he was just a part of the wedding party with a camera. If I wasn’t married already, he would be my first choice to photograph my own wedding. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a talented, fun and laid back wedding photographer! More...

I can’t say enough good things about Chris. He did such an incredible job on both our engagement and wedding photos. In addition to this, Chris was the most helpful, fun, and easy to work with guy we could have asked for. He made our wedding so smooth and stress-free. Our wedding party has made so many comments about how cool our photographer was. I wish we were getting married every weekend just so we could hangout with Chris!� More...

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding Chris was the photographer for and he did an amazing job! He remembered everyone's name (even our date's names) and interacted with us as if we had been friends for a long time. He made everyone feel welcome and at ease making the group photography sessions so much fun. He kept us on track with our timeline without causing us to feel overwhelmed or stressed. Working with him was an fantastic experience!! More...

We truly feel like we don't have the words to describe how amazing Chris at La Brisa Photography is. We had the absolute best experience with having Chris as our photographer. Not only did Chris capture incredible moments but he became our friend in this process. Chris went above and beyond our entire wedding day. His energy, positive attitude, and thoughtfulness left the best impression on everyone who interacted with him. Our wedding day was quite possibly the coldest day of our lives but Chris was so energetic, caring, and had us laughing the entire time. :) Chris took the time to capture beautiful pictures of our loved ones who attended our wedding and these images are ones that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful for Chris and all of his hard work before, during, and after our wedding. We truly feel so blessed to have had him apart of our day. We were blown away with the beautiful images Chris created but we were even more impressed with his thoughtfulness to remind us what our wedding day was truly about. Chris took the time to pray over our marriage during our first look which is a moment we will always remember. We are so thankful to have Chris apart of our wedding day not only as a photographer but as a friend. We highly recommend La Brisa Photography to anyone and everyone! It was the best choice we made! :) More...

Chris is incredible- from the photos he takes (he's truly an artist) to the experience he provides. He asked questions that solved problems before they became problems. His "day of" schedule served as the basis for our entire day and helped two oldest children (with no wedding planning experience or older siblings to watch how its done) organize the day- it was SO helpful! On several separate occasions, our wedding party mentioned how much fun they had with him throughout the day. He made everyone feel comfortable and made engagement and wedding photos incredibly easy. Not only a professional, but truly a good person who just understands people. My husband and I believe this is what makes the result of his work so outstanding- he just gets people. I would recommend him to anybody in a heartbeat! More...

Hiring Chris as our photographer was probably the best decision we made, in regards to our wedding day. He was incredibly fast, efficient, organized, and experienced.
He made the day run so smoothly by providing a detailed timeline and swiftly moving things along, with less stress. Most importantly, Chris made everyone feel comfortable and kept us all laughing - which was captured in all the genuine photos. It felt like we had hired a true friend, even though we didn’t meet in person until the morning of the wedding. Wedding photographs can be a painful process, but was actually enjoyable when working with him. He is incredibly dedicated and worked his tail off from morning until late into the night, all with a huge smile on his face.
I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone as a photographer. His stunning photos speak for themselves, he is truly a professional and an absolute pleasure to work with!

I cannot stress enough how incredible Chris at La Brisa Photography is as a photographer and as a person. He is the complete package and then some. Hire him... you will not be disappointed! His product is unbelievably beautiful and personal -- he gets these perfect shots that capture the event but also the feeling, the mood, and the personality of people in the photos. My husband and I love every photo he took - and our family and friends were blown away as well. On top of being a phenomenal professional photographer, he also doubles as a wedding coordinator/best friend who will anticipate issues and help smooth over anything and everything that happens in the pre-wedding craziness. Chris put everyone at ease and was so much fun to have around. I cannot imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding - Chris was simply the best!! More...
