Thanks for browsing through this page to learn about our team members. We've been called the "Matrix" and "Ninja" photographers by our clients. We've got moves! We typically shoot in pairs of two or we can shoot individually. All our team members follow the Baltazar Photography approach.
The Baltazar Photography approach is a hybrid of organic photojournalism and traditional approaches with very little posed, family and wedding party photos. We emphasize in capturing natural moments as they unfold.
My passion for photography started in high school, shooting with my starter camera, the popular and trusty Pentax K1000. With my obsession with photography, I founded Baltazar Photography in 2004. I take pride in partaking in one, if not the most important day and the most anticipated day in people's lives. Our couples trust my style and approach and give me full control and flexibility during their event and that's a great feeling. In return, I provide my couples with a lifetime of memories with my photographs.
Bradley has been an associate photographer for Baltazar Photography since 2007. He's studied and learned the Baltazar Photography style and approach to capturing moments and memories of a wedding. Bradley is energetic and very outgoing and he's been quite an addition to the team. Bradley will also be introducing video services in 2008.
Mao, my better half, saw the light and joined me in shooting weddings in 2007. She's volunteered to shoot all destination weddings with me. She has something that Bradley and I don't have, and that's the feminine touch. She has an incredible eye for detail.
Please contact me if you're interested in joining our team as an associate photographer. We're always looking for talented, outgoing, and energetic photographers.
Our clients understand wedding photography is an investment of a lifetime.
Wedding coverage start at $4,000 for Chris and $3,000 for Bradley. Depending on your custom package, you may opt for a second photographer, proofing products and album(s).
We love to travel and we have destination wedding packages available. Please send us an inquiry.
Who hires Baltazar Photography? Our couples share a deep appreciation for fine art photography. From lawyers to graphic artists, the majority of our couples are either photographers themselves, which is a huge compliment to us, or just appreciates a modern approach, clean compositions, emotion-driven, and fun photography. They want something different!
It depends on who you ask, the priority for photography on a wedding budget may have a different range. For our couples, it's one of the top priorities.
Our couples enjoy creative and fine art photography and are highly selective in who they hire. It's not uncommon that couples schedule appointments with us directly after their engagement, even without a date in mind.
