About Chris Nieto – Raleigh Wedding Photographer
A little about me:
I grew up in the Raleigh area. I met my wife and took my first photography class while in high school. My family and I live on a small farm with several chickens, one cat, and an extensive garden. Without my children, I wouldn’t have anyone to practice and refine new techniques. Raleigh is my home-base, but I am available for weddings and portraits all over North Carolina and the east coast.
Wedding Style
My goal is to make your wedding day experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I capture moments as they happen but I also like to create unique portraits of the couple and their bridal party. After 14 years in business, I have shot at most of the local venues, but I never approach a wedding as a cookie cutter event. I take it as a challenge to come away from each wedding with unique portraits and a unique view of each venue. There is no venue too dark or too small that I cant make it have a great atmosphere on your wedding day.
Sneak Peek
Unless I don’t have access to wifi, I provide a small preview of your wedding day or portrait session within six to twelve hours. If that all sounds like bragging, check out my “Testimonials” page and read what my past clients have said.
I am a big believer in making the wedding day go as smoothly as possible not only for the couple but all the vendors involved. I do all I can to help brides and grooms plan and prep for their engagement, bridal, and wedding day.
