Hola! My name is Chaz Cruz and I am a photographer based out of San Diego, CA. My specialties include weddings, fashion and lifestyle portraits. This blog is named after my obsession with "The Office" and of a lovable character named Creed Bratton. He writes about his random musings under a blog titled "Creed Thoughts," so I thought I'd do the same and name it "Chaz Thoughts." So please, browse around and don't forget to leave me a comment or two!

absolutely breath taking Chaz! Seriously..you blow me away. My favorites are definitely the first shot of Rachel, her hugging her mom and Billy shedding a tear. So happy you captured those moments so beautifully!

Billy & Rachel Hyer:

Chaz, our friend! Not only was it fun to have you with us on our wedding day, but you have made it so memorable to look back on with the images you have made! You truly captured moments that we would have never seen or would have just simply forgotten about. My best moment shots are the one of the two moms in focus during the ceremony and the one of Rachel with her dad dancing, OH and I like the one of me wiping the tears in my eyes, it makes me look sensitive, Rachel digs that =).. Seriously, we have said it before, but know no other way of saying it, we are so thankful for you photographing our wedding, you did an AMAZING job and everyone loved you! We expect to see you in Charleston, SC soon!

Beautiful! I love the pic of Rachel & I hugging. That image shows all the emotion, and I will never forget how I felt at that very moment. (Ok ,maybe you could take out a few of the wrinkles!?!) Seriously, I don't know how I'm going to narrow these down to fit into one book! Fantastic job!
