Professional Photographer in Cambridgeshire

About Chris Wray

I've been taking photographs since I owned my first "proper" camera in 1982. That camera travelled everywhere with me, capturing friends, relations, travels, things that just interested me. I was always capturing the moments from a (misspent) youth, that are still cherished by friends today.

Some 20+ years on and things are just the same really, from capturing the intimate unseen moments at a wedding, to bringing objects to life in the studio. I still love to photograph people. Other professional photographers comment on my ability to create a rapport with the subject that brings out the best images, even of the shy and self-conscious.

Initially I took to corporate and business photography, but during this time I was asked repeatedly to consider weddings and family portraits. So in 2009 I opened the calendar to add wedding and family portrait packages to complement my commercial work.

About My Style

I've always wanted to show photographs that are a little bit different. I don't like to see family portrait photography that all look the same, or lines of rigid guests in weddings. I like to produce photographs that have a sense of excitement about them.

My clients love portraits taken in the home or at a well loved location, like the park or the beach where they have a connection with the environment. I also like the reportage style of wedding photography, where for the most part I remain an observer of your day.

For commercial photography, I like to give the products a sense of life, and capture the owners and employees in a way that shows the culture of the organisation.
