A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US
Chris
Hey, I’m Chris and I’m definitely the talker out of the two of us.
I love meeting and chatting with people, as well as capture all their little quirks. It’s the people that make this job fun, 100%.
Knowing what our images mean to our clients, and also how long our images will be treasured for, is the reason I do what I do.
We’re capturing moments that will last for generations.
Behind the lens
When I’m not working I love watching films, building lego and playing Dungeons and Dragons. Board games and xbox are also good to unwind.
We adore our cats too (well, any cat for that matter) so a night in bed with the cats watching a movie is my happy place.
We both ride motorbikes too and love a good road trip. Travelling to new places and eating all the food is high on life’s positives.
ABout SHAZIA
Hey, I’m Shazia — the quieter, sneakier half of Chocolate Chip Photography.
On a wedding day, you’ll barely notice I’m there… but I’ll be everywhere. I love blending into the background, capturing all the real, in-between moments without disrupting the flow of your day.
I’ve always been drawn to storytelling. I originally went to uni to study film, hoping to become a film director and that’s actually where I met Chris. A year after finishing my master’s in film production, Chocolate Chip Photography was born.
My style draws from my passion for art, music, and film, especially in editorial and portrait photography. Over time, some of my images have been published internationally, which has helped me refine how I see and capture moments. At weddings, I focus on being present and thoughtful, capturing authentic, meaningful moments with a creative eye—moments that feel natural and honest rather than staged.
Behind the lens
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually off adventuring — often on a motorbike, chasing new places, fresh air and that feeling of freedom.
That said, I’m just as happy at home, pottering in the garden with a coffee in hand, cats sunbathing nearby, and houseplants quietly taking over every corner of the house. Chris still hasn’t noticed just how many we have… and I’m not about to tell him.
Even when I’m not working, I’m often behind a camera — experimenting with new techniques, testing lighting and composition, or trying out different creative ideas. It’s something I do to keep learning and stay inspired, which naturally feeds back into the work I do at weddings. Photography isn’t just a job for me; it’s how I see and understand the world.
We’re very good
