I am an award-winning photographer who specialises in documentary event and wedding photography. I work on a sliding scale to provide you with as much coverage as possible within your budget.
I capture natural, unposed moments to vividly record the story of your day as it really happens. I prefer to work candidly and unobtrusively. This allows me to capture the real heart and soul of your event, whilst allowing you to enjoy the day without being distracted by the photography. I want you to enjoy the moment, whilst I provide you with the beautiful, images that will be valued for years to come.
From arena concerts to festivals, weddings and small gatherings - I’ve been covering a wide range of events on commission since 2009. I would love to be a part of yours, too.
Chris was amazing. He showed up early and stayed late. He was really accommodating of everything that we wanted and we would book him again for sure. Really nice person as well.
Made our wedding day very special.
Chris Silk took the best photos for my kid's birthday party and naming ceremony, I was over the moon with the quality and the amount of photos taken. He was also very pleasant to work with, friendly and helpful, and we hardly noticed him while taking the photos. Would 100% recommend and book him in the future!
Chris Silk is professional, reliable and talented! The pictures he took at the event are exactly what we've asked for. He has captured the people's genuine and natural reactions. Also, he has shared the pictures with us really fast. Highly recommend him and his services!
Chris captured the spirit and energy of our party perfectly, without being intrusive. Fantastic professional service with true artist talent. Couldn't ask for more and would definitely recommend.
Chris was just amazing taking candid photos of my 50th birthday party. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him & I’d certainly book him again in the future. Chris is very friendly & professional
We hired Chris for our Corporate Christmas Showcase recently and can only say amazing things! Our brief was followed and executed perfectly. He was fantastic at capturing the candid moments and also our staged decorations. More than pleased with the photos, thank you again Chris.
We were so happy with Chris' work for our big family event. He replied quickly to my first request, was very flexible in terms of timings (even when the event started later than expected) and then captured all the right moments in beautiful photos. He was very patient when it came to our requests in terms of group photos and just made the memories last forever. Thanks Chris!
Chris photographed our wedding party in his documentary style. We wanted photos that captured the day but for it not to be obtrusive with lots of staged shots and I felt he really achieved this. The photos were great and really gave a sense of the atmosphere. All the arrangements beforehand were very straightforward and the photos were available a week later. I’d be very happy to use Chris’s services again
I needed to document a once in a lifetime memorial service, family members would be travelling from around the UK and from across the world for the event.
Chris was recommended to me by a friend of his as he was local to where the service would be taking place. From the start, Chris was incredibly professional, we worked together to nail as many of the details as possible before the day.
When the date came round we met for the first time about an hour before the event would start. I quickly showed him around the key areas and went through the last minute bits with him.
He then went off and did his own thing. I only saw him now and then when he’d find me to make a suggestion, like taking images of all the family members, or a set shot that would be poignant.
Having not run an event like this before this was incredibly helpful, Chris thought of things in the moment that I simply hadn’t considered.
His photographs were spot on. Chris captured everything as it happened, as naturally as possible, without intruding or disrupting anything that was going on that day.
Professional from start to finish I can’t recommend him highly enough for event-based work.
