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!

It’s 11:21 PM … Do You Know Where Your Pictures Are?

July 28, 2010

If you’re wondering where … well, they’re a-comin’. I promise. I’ve been working into the early morning just about every day this week and am nearly delirious from lack of sleep and excessive caffeine intake, but I don’t tell you this to elicit your pity. :) I love what I do, even if it means I spend less time at Bedside Baptist than I would like to.

I’ve been finishing processing a buncha’ beautiful weddings, engagement shoots and designing a few albums to boot; I hope to blog each and every one within the next few weeks. So until then, because every post is better with a picture, here’s a favorite from my recent shoot with Selvi and Lamar … an awesome, fun couple who made it an equally awesome, fun shoot:

Be back soon. :D

The Morning Fog

June 9, 2010

There is something about a morning fog that ignites my imagination; conjuring up images of a classic mystery novel setting. Or maybe it’s just the cool, early spring air … or the mud puddle I just stepped in while composing a shot. Maybe it’s the way that it makes a dirty, otherwise uninspiring river look … mystical.

Okay, so I’ll never ghostwrite for Charles Dickens, but I snapped these pictures months ago and just found a few while cleaning out my hard drive …

This bird was perched literally 50 feet away from me, but I was in the midst of fiddling with my settings and he flew off before I could get a beautiful close up. D’oh!

A Little Piece of 750

April 19, 2010

aka, two photographers in search of something fun to shoot.

I hail from Houston, Texas and while there are some things I miss about my former life there, I was happy to leave behind the absurdly hot weather and boring, concrete landscapes.

My friend Coty (of Henry Photography) and I decided to meet for some dinner at B-Dubs and then shoot around for a few around the Powell area. These were the result.

While these photos aren’t going to win any awards, I very much enjoy the process of just shooting without a specific result in mind (well, mostly, there was one particular picture I wanted to get.) Just grab the camera and hit the road, see what there is to see!

In a sense this was an evening of the unexpected – I mean, it’s Powell, Ohio, so I know I’m not going to see any polar bears marauding about. But when I’m walking  along, I don’t really know sights what might jump out at me! :)

As a wedding photographer, I’m always working both to stretch my creative boundaries while doing what I am already pretty good at. It’s an at-times delicate balance and when it’s someone’s wedding at stake, I’m gonna err with the safety of my comfort zones.

Any way, I hope you enjoy and may you soon find yourself out with a friend, or a bunch of friends, or even just by yourself, shooting pictures of what strikes your artistic eye! :D

A Little Easter Fun

April 5, 2010

Whether you celebrate Easter as a remembrance of Christ’s resurrection, a time to kick back with family and friends, or a time to eat too much food (or maybe all three, like I do, hey! :D ) … I hope you enjoyed this past holiday weekend!

We spent the morning and afternoon with great friends of ours, and I took a few pics of the kids as they set off in hunt for easter eggs … and candy. And coffee cake … oh wait, that was me.
