clients say it better

Do you want a photographer? Or do you want a Ninja? Well it's your lucky day, because Chris Lang is both. I'm not even joking. He's everywhere and he gets every shot. Looking through some of the shots of my wedding, I was wondering "how does he do that?!". He even has this super cool camera belt to execute his Ninja moves. Chris Lang is insanely good. There are not enough words to describe how good he is, but the pictures say it all! Even more than that, he just a genuinely good person. We booked Chris pretty much on the spot (and I'm so glad we did because he books up quick!). I didn't bother meeting with anyone else. We had our engagement shoot on my fiancé's birthday and Chris was amazing at helping me pull of the surprise (after we did out shots, there was a hot air balloon ride. Check out his gallery. The shots are killer!) I was one of those super lucky brides that had Hurricane Matthew arrive on my wedding day and had to abort the mission 2 days before my wedding. We were so fortunate that Chris was available and willing to shoot our wedding 5 months later. When the day finally arrived, you'd figure it would go off without a hitch, right? I mean, i had a practice run 5 months before. Guess again! While other vendors had me pulling out my hair, there was NEVER one moment Chris let us down. He kept us calm and laughing the whole time and even got us back on our timeline after some major blips. Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about "the photographer". He's so passionate about his work and it shows as he's kneeling, sometimes lying, on the floor to get the perfect shot (And of course his ninja camera belt was a hit too!) Look no further. Open your wallet and book him NOW before you miss out! He has flexible payment plans and awesome packages. I saw my proofs and cannot wait to get some portraits ordered to hang all over my home! Thanks again Chris, you rock!

Lifestye Wedding Photography


After decades of being a professional event photographer and covering hundreds of weddings, I have created my own process and style that I coin "Lifestyle Wedding Photography." Lifestyle wedding photography is a creative blend of photography styles that captures your wedding day in a free flowing, unobtrusive process.

First and most importantly, I concentrate on storytelling through a documentary style. This allows the day to unfold in a free-flowing manner. I can word and adapt on the fly, ensuring that every smile, tear, and laugh is documented in real-time.

From intimate details to spontaneous interactions, my goal is to create a vibrant narrative of your wedding day. With an emphasis on connection and genuine moments, I craft a visual story that reflects your unique personality and style.

Light & Airy Photography Style

Light and airy photos are created by using low contrast and flat lighting to soften and minimize shadows. This is done in both camera and post production. This can create softer and often more flattering wedding, bridal and engagement photography portraits as fewer shadows also reveal fewer blemishes. Colors in light and airy photos typically fall on the lighter and more neutral side.
