At Chris Colyard Photography, we are passionate about capturing your Executive Headshots, Wedding, Birthday Celebrations, Christmas Gatherings, and Graduation Ceremonies, against stunning backdrops while utilizing professional lighting to produce engaging, romantic, and visually stunning images. Our mission is to transform moments, emotions, and colors into artistic expressions that reflect the essence of your special occasions.
How it all started:
"I began my journey spontaneously taking photos of everything: my family, people on the street, animals, and even events that I wasn’t invited to! I drove around seeking something to shoot. Following the pursuit and capture of those photos, I would then post them online. What happened next could only be described as fate.
One day, a lady messaged me and asked if I could take pictures at her wedding. My immediate response was, "No, I have never shot a wedding before." But she replied saying, "Yes, you take great photos."
I showed up and I took photos of her wedding, posting them online. From there, another client put in the request to have her wedding photographed by me, and the rest is history. Chris Colyard Photography was born.
My advice to up-and-coming photographers is to just start shooting and work on your photography skills daily . Don’t wait on better gear, the "right" conditions or when you’re not busy. Just start shooting and always be yourself."
