Chris Shum
CA Wedding & Engagement Photographer
PHOTOGRAPHER SPECIALIZING IN WEDDINGS, ENGAGEMENTS & FAMILIES
Chris has had a great love for art since he was a young boy. At the age of 15, he earned his first second-hand camera from his father. Since then, he was always “the photographer” among his friends and family. He finally turned this passion into his profession in 2007. A wedding is one of the events Chris loves to shoot. He believes it is one of the most beautiful and joyful events in life, and he understands how every moment, from engagement to the end of the wedding day, means to the couples and their families. Through his artistic eyes and un-obstructive approach, Chris documents these precious moments into elegant, story-telling photographic images that the couples can cherish. Chris is a destination wedding photographer based in San Francisco, California.
