Captures our wedding day perfectly!

Chris did a brilliant job photographing our wedding day. He got some beautiful shots of the venue, candid shots of guests enjoying themselves and some really lovely composed shots of the two of us. With some sneaky natural ones snapped too when we weren’t looking! We’ve put them all together in a book which we will cherish. Thank you Chris x
