Hey, I’m Chay Mclaren

about me
I’m not one to GO on about myself, but for us to really connect, it’s really important that we get to know each other.

WHO AM I?

Pretty much straight out of high school, I moved to the mountains and worked as a snowboard instructor. Being among the Alps and nature was amazing. After a while, I decided to study and got a job as an audio engineer at a film studio. Whilst there I was always fascinated with the colourists and brought myself a camera. I was instantly turned on by the thrill of telling stories through images. Not to sound cheesy but it’s a pretty great feeling when you finally find the one thing you want to do for the rest of your life.

PHILOSOPHY

After exploring different avenues in photography, I found my niche in wedding photography. I quickly realized that there is nothing more rewarding than having the responsibility of documenting that incredible day in a couple’s life. Documenting that connection between two humans. It’s something I take very seriously. And while I may sound like the most serious person on planet earth, rest assured I’m a pretty laid-back dude with a laid-back philosophy. You be you. I’ll be me.

The best photos come from people being themselves,
when you can forget the stress of the day and just love on each other.

Well enough about me
I want to hear about you. I wanna hear your story. What gets you excited about photography?
