More Than Just Photos—An Experience Tailored to Your Wedding

Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but it can also feel overwhelming. Finding the right photographer is key to ensuring a refined wedding photography experience that feels effortless and results in timeless images. At Chantel Cruz Photography, I do more than capture beautiful moments—I create an experience that is personal, seamless, and deeply meaningful for your wedding day.

From our first conversation, my goal is to make you feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. Every couple receives a tailored wedding photography experience that extends beyond just the images. I encourage you to reach out for advice on details like bridesmaid dresses, linens, and overall aesthetics. Photography isn’t just about pictures—it’s about preserving the true beauty of your wedding day.

To make the planning process seamless, I provide my personal phone number for calls, texts, or emails. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but with me (and your amazing planner) by your side, you’re never alone in the process.

Timeless Images Rooted in Grace

My signature editing style is inspired by film—bold, high-contrast, and timeless. I ensure natural skin tones and true-to-life colors in your florals, bridesmaids’ dresses, and décor. Every detail of your wedding photography is designed to reflect the love and care that went into planning your day.

Beyond editing, I create an environment where you feel confident and at ease. My posing approach blends guidance with natural movement, so you never feel stiff—just beautifully you on your wedding day.

A Thoughtfully Refined Wedding Timeline

Wondering when to book your wedding photography? Here’s what the process looks like:

• Inquire & Connect (12-18 months before): We’ll chat to ensure we’re the perfect fit. I take on fewer than 14 weddings each year to provide my couples with the highest level of care and attention.
• Booking & Engagement Session (8-12 months before): Once your date is secured, we’ll plan your engagement session. It’s the perfect way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.
• Wedding Timeline Consultation (3-6 months before): I strongly prefer working with a planner. They keep the day flowing smoothly, allowing me to focus entirely on capturing your precious wedding moments. With their expertise, we’ll create a timeline that prioritizes meaningful moments while keeping your day relaxed and enjoyable.
• Final Check-In (1 month before): We’ll confirm all the details to ensure your wedding photography experience is flawless and stress-free.
• Your Wedding Day: With a refined yet relaxed approach, I’ll document your day with artistry and intention, allowing you to fully enjoy your wedding experience.
• Gallery Delivery (6-8 weeks after): Your wedding gallery will be carefully curated, preserving the magic of your wedding day with timeless images that capture the essence of your celebration.

More Than a Wedding Vendor—A Trusted Guide

The wedding photography experience with me goes beyond simply being a vendor. My heart is to serve you with love, care, and excellence, ensuring you feel at ease and confident knowing your wedding memories are in the best hands.
