Whether it’s by Arenal Volcano or along La Rambla, I’ll be there to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments you’ll always want to look back on.

What Our Couples Say:

Real stories, real emotions, real testimonials

Criss did the photography for our wedding in Tamarindo Costa Rica and the experience was absolutely amazing!

When I received our package of photos we were blown away at how stunning they all were! Furthermore, in addition to his incredible work spending time with him on our wedding day was so fun as well! If you are looking for a photographer for your event I highly recommend it.”

— Kelsey B.

“Christopher was amazing. Hired him to do our engagement photo’s in Costa Rica, we loved his work so much we hired him to be our wedding photographer.

I ran across him while looking at several portfolios for our engagement session, and his work stood out as there was something unique about his work that fit what we were looking for. I can’t explain it, but I would say his work speaks for itself. I recommend you visit his sites or look for him on social media. Communication was absolutely no problem, he was very flexible, and he was a pleasure to hang out with. He made the hike down to La Fortuna waterfall for our pictures, and drove us around to the best picture spots. He’s truly dedicated to his work, and I highly recommend him.”

— Lilian V.

 

“We’re so glad we had him with us on our day and love the gorgeous artwork he turned our day into!

Hiring a photographer for a destination wedding was a little stressful. We weren’t able to meet prior, which wasn’t a big deal to us, but still a little uncertainty with that. His portfolio was so spectacular that I knew there was no way we could go wrong, and I was absolutely correct.

Chris quietly bopped around our respective rooms taking some prep photos (which I didn’t necessarily need, but am so glad we got!). Our ceremony was so small that I wasn’t sure if we’d feel his presence or hear him moving around the crowd but honestly I had no clue he was even there and the photos of the ceremony were so spectacular. We had a sunset ceremony so the lighting was tricky for him, but the way the pics came out were just breathtaking!

After the ceremony we weren’t sure where best to get some photos, we made some suggestions, he made some suggestions and we ended up having a lot of fun. We also asked Chris to join us the day after the ceremony at the beach for additional photos. It was a much more casual day, so he lounged with us, snapped some photos, we all made friends and were telling stories, it felt like he was just a good friend hanging out with us and snapping some photos while hanging at the beach.”

— Emily P.
