Chase Lanier Photography

I love the storytelling aspect of photography. Photographs allow us to freeze a moment in time so that it can be remembered and relived years down the road. I started my journey in photography over 20 years ago and I'm lucky that I'm allowed to help so many couples tell and retell their wedding story. Weddings are full of small moments that deserve to be captured and remembered. From the early morning laughter as the bride fights with the champagne cork to make mimosas to the tears rolling down dad's face during the first dance... Those are the things that drive me to wedding photography... Real moments. Real emotions. Real stories to tell.

There are so many different components that have to come together during the wedding day for a truly successful wedding. I like to provide the right amount of flexible direction throughout the day to document all of the special moments while allowing the couple the freedom to have fun. I'm a big believer in using the right tool or technique in the right light or occasion... If the light is beautiful, I will use available light. If the light is flat, I will add some light to give dimensionality. And if the light is non-existent, I will use strobes to create something special.
