Chris brings special qualities to the team by capturing the memories of moments which will never be repeated, in a most unobtrusive way. Her ability to pleasantly interact with family members and brides and grooms, and then capture the fun and emotion sets her apart from the ordinary photographer.

Most recently she was presented with the National Award, which is the highest award given by the PPSNYS.
