Weddings - Long Version
Christopher Duggan runs a wedding photography and videography studio based in New York City and the Berkshires, MA. He has shaped his career capturing candid and meaningful moments at his clients’ weddings, because he knows a loving glance between mother and daughter getting ready, or laughter between brothers knotting their ties, expresses more about a couple’s life and love than images of the dress, the flowers or the décor.
Christopher values being present, communicative and attentive while capturing the essence of your day without being in the way. At the core of his practice is artistry, and he is committed to representing your memories with integrity and soul.
Fleeting moments hold the true essence of a wedding, and Christopher’s decade of experience as a dance photographer in New York City and at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival helps him to anticipate climactic and special moments, so he can capture them instantly.
