Luxury in photography isn’t just about shooting at castles in Europe or working with high-budget clients—it’s about the way you carry yourself, the experience you create, and the values that anchor your brand.

Today’s guest, Chris J. Evans, knows this inside and out.

An internationally celebrated wedding and editorial photographer, Chris has photographed over 500 weddings around the world—from Lake Como to Cartagena, Paris to Maui. With roots in fashion photography and a family steeped in art and couture, Chris blends cinematic elegance with deeply personal storytelling. 

But what makes Chris stand out is more than just his images—it’s the way he’s built a luxury brand on a foundation of gratitude, calm confidence, and uncompromising excellence.

What I love about Chris’s perspective is that it reminds us luxury isn’t about being unapproachable or out of reach, it’s about elevating every part of your craft and client experience while staying rooted in gratitude. It’s about showing up with excellence, creating trust, and making your couples feel seen, valued, and celebrated.

Born and raised surrounded by the golden oceans of Ohio's corn fields, homeschooled till it wasn't cool — I grew my first million dollar business in the garage of our studio apartment.
