Hello, soon to be bride or groom!

Chris Aram Photography was voted a Best of Weddings 2011 pick. Thank you to my fantastic brides and grooms!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Chris Aram, and this is my personal blog, which is mostly what happens when I'm behind a lense doing what I really enjoy: making awesome pictures, capturing awesome moments and working with awesome people!

Speaking of awesome things I enjoy, I am happily married to my beautiful wife and really enjoy spending time with her, our two children and our family and friends. Throw in a little PS3, music and eating (too much sometimes), and you've got a pretty good idea of what I like to do.

If you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail at chrisaram@hotmail.com or by phone at 614.973.9599.

Please check out my full online portfolio for more details!

This concisely says what I think (sometimes often) but don't find the voice to say. Sometimes we need this honesty. http://t.co/8WYbEUCs

- Adam Nyholt - A friend and mentor who has cheerfully answered about 1,000 questions, Adam probably at times wishes that I no longer had his phone number. He produces some work that'll just blow you away.
- Anna Kuperberg - Anna's photography is of a quality that is very hard to put into words. I aspire to her extraordinary skills of composition and raw emotion.
- BorrowLenses.com - Great rental equipment at a great price. For any photographer who wants to give a lens a test drive or has a short-term assignment, I highly recommend them.
- Danny Heinlein - A photographic mentor and friend,. Danny shot our own wedding! My wife and I still love looking at our album to this day.
- David duChemin - One of my favorite photographers! Whether you just love taking pictures or are a seasoned professional, I cannot recommend his book "Within the Frame" highly enough.
- Full Circle Eventi - Michigan based Full Circle Eventi specializes in cultural wedding planning. No matter what your style or cultural heritage, you will find Lia's blog provides a lot of fantastic, helpful insight into planning your day.
- Joe McNally - Joe makes extraordinary lighting and compelling photography look like child's play. He's a fantastic educator and his blog is an amazing source of inspiration and information for photogs of any level.
- Ryan Brenizer - A talented and innovative wedding photographer who regularly takes the time to engage with other photogs and answer questions throughout his blog and social media websites. I really appreciate his work both for his skill and the humility with which he presents himself!
- Scarlet City Events - Easy to work with meets attention to detail - that's Dina Gesouras. If you're in the market for a wedding coordinator, give her a call and see for yourself.

Emma’s 2nd Birthday Party

August 24, 2008

Our good friends, Kevin and Vicky, threw a birthday party for their little girl, Emma this weekend. The party was perfect: pool and pizza, short and sweet and a good time to be had by all. The kids are a blast and really, are some of the sweetest, most well-behaved kids I know (though their parents will be quick to retort, “trust me, they’re not always this way.”)

Knowing that the hosts would be busy with food and chasing after the kiddos, I offered to shoot a few pics of the special occasion. I have to say, it’s been forever since I’ve really gotten to use my camera for anything fun and I’m pretty happy with the way a few of these shots turned out. Here are a few of the better shots:
