Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris has helped me with a few projects and one of which is a promo video for my business. He was really helpful, listened and clear of what I wanted to achieve. I highly recommend Chris. I also came across his sports video for the youth Global Games event in Queenstown and he captured both actions and emotions perfectly. Thank you Chris for your hard work.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were delighted to have Chris Chase Photography as part of the SIEBA Hui 2026. Chris brought a professional, approachable, and positive presence to the event, and the quality of his photographs were great. Delegates loved the opportunity to have relaxed, high-quality individual photos taken in a conference setting and it really added to the overall experience in the exhibitor space. Chris made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. His care taken to individually send out images is a real testament to his commitment and attention to detail. We would highly recommend Chris for any conference or event — he was a fantastic addition to the Hui.
