About the artist behind the company
Hello, my name is Christian Saab. I'm a photographer, a filmmaker, and a music producer. When I was a kid I dreamed of making amazing music, but life took me through certain moments which sparked a passion for filmmaking.

I went to college and got a degree in Film Production Technology. I started to fall in love with the ins-and-outs of cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, etc. I became fascinated with the science and art behind it all. One day I became an intern in a movie set and they needed a photographer. I told them I could do it and they gave me a chance. Producers eventually loved my work and my reliability. At that point photography became a passion. I worked with tons of amazing cinematographers and editorial photographers.

After some time, I eventually took a break from the film industry in order to chase some music/film projects of my own. I needed a way to fund these projects and obviously pay the bills so I started doing weddings for other companies from time to time. I enjoyed capturing those beautiful moments in life for other people. I've got a big heart and capturing love, happiness and many other emotions was highly rewarding... I realized that I loved doing wedding photography. That is when I started my own wedding photography business.
I work hard and I make sure my team does too. I practice a high level of business ethics. I don't do things half-way, and I say this because I am not your typical wedding photographer. I've seen many people buy a camera, then make a website, put the camera on automatic and call themselves business owners. It's very easy to take photos, but it's not easy to take the kind of photos I take. You can know the difference by simply looking at the work I do. I also have about $50k invested in photography equipment, a collection hard to find in a wedding photographer. What sets me apart is my wisdom, my technical knowledge, my personality, and my passion.

A wedding photographer is not someone who is just good with cameras, but also a good director and good at handling people. He's good at control under stress, he's good at the theater aspect of it all. He's good at predicting moments and good at creating them. He's good at keeping things simple, so everyone enjoys the wedding day. You'd be surprised how deep the art and science of wedding photography goes, and how much I've learned with about 350 weddings under my belt.

I've also produced/directed commercials for big companies and I've been the official photographer for major music festivals and artists. I've trained many successful wedding photographers, leaving me with a useful network of pros. I'm constantly traveling for work and also doing jobs for major advertising companies. My ultimate goal is to make movies, and something big is in the works. I don't just do this to make a living... I believe in love, and I love what I do.. this makes every single wedding I document a special story to tell through my photography.
