Meet Chris

Chris is our neighbour, and someone we know really well. He is genuinely the loveliest person to work with, and he has photographed our bell tents for us — so our recommendation comes from personal experience, not just admiring his portfolio. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone. If you are looking for someone to capture your wedding or celebration, we would love you to take a look at his work.

Weddings, people and places

The wedding photographs show several ways of telling the story of a day: a couple outside their venue, a ceremony kiss, relaxed portraits in a garden and the small details of rings, flowers and wedding clothing. His archive includes Ross and Laura’s wedding at Bailbrook House in Bath, Luke and Louise’s big day, and other named wedding celebrations. The selection below puts this wedding work first, rather than the headshots that feature prominently in his photostream.

Events and live music

Chris’s event portfolio also includes live music at Komedia in Bath and the Cheese & Grain in Frome, as well as theatre and local events. The live-performance photograph in this gallery is labelled separately from the weddings. For a celebration with evening entertainment, this is a useful additional part of his portfolio to explore.

Editorial and commercial experience

In his own Flickr biography, Chris lists clients including Longleat, Legoland, Classic Rock Blues magazine, Vogue, 247 Magazine, Future Publishing and Getty Images. These are credits stated in his biography, rather than current affiliations independently confirmed by Camp Chic.

Planning your photography

Contact Chris directly to discuss your wedding date, venue, the moments you want covered and any evening celebrations. Ask for current wedding galleries, availability, coverage options and a quotation. The photographs shown here are archive examples from 2011–2015; they illustrate his published work, not a current package or price list.

Personally recommended by Camp Chic

We know Chris as both our neighbour and the photographer behind a photoshoot of our tents. We love working with him and are very happy to recommend him to our couples and hosts.
