Passionate? Yes, I would definitely say Chris is passionate. He is also flexible, reliable, honest, and humorous. Above all, Chris is amazingly talented and as my husband says "ridiculously creative." We hired Chris and his team to video our wedding in Sep 2007. It was an Indian wedding...the first for Chris, though not his first ethnic wedding. Throughout the planning he was patient and accomodating to all our requests. We had our wedding at the Hindu temple, which is located in the outskirts of Maple Grove, and he would need to be there at 5am to set up for the cermony and then travel to the Hilton Mall of America to set up for the reception and stay through midnight when the reception ended! In addition, we requested that he and his team be unobtrusive. At many Indian weddings, the videographer sets up right in front of the mandap blocking the guests view of the ceremony. Chris was so innovative, he came up with the idea to mount one of the cameras to the inside of the mandap so there would be no need to obstruct the view of the guests. Overall, the whole crew was very friendly and accomodating. The end result, we had a beautiful wedding video. The first time we watched the video we cried, especially since Chris surprised us with a special reflections montage video. We later entered that reflections video in TheKnot.com 2007 Real Wedding Awards; the video was nominated Editor's Pick. When we took our wedding video to India to show our relatives who couldn't come for the wedding, they were all shocked when we said our videographer wasn't Indian. They were amazed at how Chris knew to capture all the important moments during our ceremony. Our overall experience was great and now we have a video we can cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Chris and will definitely be using Chris again for future family events. Chris was definitely one of my most favorite vendors to work with. Thanks Chris!
