More about Chris Bickford
Chris Bickford is one of the most highly respected photographers on the Outer Banks.
An internationally renowned photojounalist whose clients include National Geographic, the New York Times, NPR, Captain Morgan, and Time Magazine, Chris Bickford has also shot over 300 weddings in the last decade, from Hatteras to Buxton to Avon to Nags Head to Kitty Hawk, Duck, Corolla, New York, Jamaica, California, Italy. Known for his strong compositions and his flair for drama and mood, Chris merges photojournalism, portraiture, fashion, and action photography to create an aesthetic that brims with energy, joy, and a classic sense of style. Always a step ahead with his use of light, color, and post-processing, Chris is known for images that pop off the page and capture the humorous, the touching, the joyful, the nervous, and the celebratory moments that come and go in a flash during the course of a wedding day. He moves fast, laughs easily, and keeps things running smoothly with a grace and professionalism that few photographers can match. He knows how to bring out the best in his subjects, how to instill confidence and break down self-consciousness, and how to make every side look like your good side. He has lived on the Outer Banks since 2001 and knows the landscape, light, and locations of the area intimately. He also knows how quickly things can change in this maritime climate, and how to both prepare for and take advantage of the dramatic weather and uncommon light that make these beaches so unique.
Chris is passionate about his work, and his passion is infectious. You will see him standing on railings, lying belly-down in the sand, running backwards as he tells you to run towards him, all for the sake of the right shot, the right angle, the right movement -- or maybe just to get a laugh out of you. Click. You're an animal, baby. You're a tiger.
