Chelly Cruz has delivered my wife and I some stunning photos in the past year.

Chelly was the photographer for both our engadgement and wedding photos. He truly is skilled in his craft and knows several techniques and tricks to help get the best shots.

For our engadgement photos, Chelly suggested an early morning shoot, as the sunrise delivers some of the best lighting conditions not easily duplicated in a studio. So we braved the early morning temperatures, and the results were amazing! In the photos, the sunrise really added a level of color to the skin that I never truly appreciated before.

At the same shoot, we found ourselves in 2 additional unplanned locations that yeilded great results; an alleyway next to some derelict buildings, and on top a huge tractor parked in an open construction yard. What we take for granted as our normal surroundings in day-to-day life, became transformed into a beautiful backdrop for our engadgment photos.

For our wedding, we were pressured for time so Chelly had to squeeze as many photos as possible into a tight schedule. There was also the disadvantage of not being able to visit the location prior to the event; but like a true professional, he quickly assessed his surroundings and found the most awesome shots for our special day.

We are really happy with what Chelly has done for us. He’s given us photos that will be forever timeless…images that evoke the spirit of that time and day that we can share with our friends, children and other generations to come. Thank you Chelly for sharing your talent with us.
