Hi, I’m CHris
I’m a storyteller at heart, capturing moments that reflect the unique beauty of each couple’s journey. My passion for creating timeless, cinematic wedding films is deeply inspired by the love and connection I experience with my own family. My wife, Sam, brings warmth, insight, and a steady hand to our work at Hopkins Creative Studio. When we aren’t editing, we’re likely savoring overpriced lattes, indulging in an extra scoop of ice cream, or traveling to places like Ireland, Chile, or wherever Sam’s Irish dance teaching takes her (yes, she’s also a competitive Irish dance teacher!).
Our daughter, Frannie, is the light of our lives and reminds us daily of life’s beauty and wonder. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors with them, skiing down a mountain, or kicking a soccer ball around. These moments of adventure, connection, and family are at the heart of everything I do—and they’re the driving force behind my storytelling.
If you’re looking for a wedding filmmaker who values authenticity, artistry, and the unforgettable beauty of your story, let’s connect.

what i belive about wedding stories.
I approach each wedding with the goal of capturing more than just staged moments. I’m drawn to the real, unguarded parts of your day that show who you are together.
+ Authenticity Above All
Your wedding story should reflect your unique journey — not a template or a trend. I look for those genuine moments, the quiet smiles, the laughter that comes from the heart, and the connections that make your love one-of-a-kind.
+ For the Bold & True
I’m inspired by couples who value quality and live boldly, seeking a wedding experience as unique as they are. My clients are those who want a story that’s authentic, artful, and true to their journey — one that combines cinematic film and timeless photography to capture every angle.
+ A Keepsake for a Lifetime
Every story I create is crafted to be more than just a series of images or a video. It’s a cinematic reflection of your story — something you’ll cherish and revisit for years to come. With an approach that blends film and photography seamlessly, I ensure that each memory is preserved with care and artistry.
