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!

Alright! First official chazthoughts.com blog and it happens to be none other than Mari and Ramon, go figure! But their wedding was full of laughs and tears, we were busting up laughing through the whole way! I brought along my second shooter Mary Frances to shoot Mari's wedding, who also happened to have my best friend Mary as one of her bridesmaids. Whenever I called one they would all turn around and answer, it was hilarious.

Mari's moms curlers were the highlight of my morning.

Alright, this one has a lot of images in it! I thought it was only fitting as Abby was a dear friend of mine from junior high, way back in the day. Abby and Matt were married at the Falkner Winery in Temecula, CA.

* Images transferred from old blog, sizing of images will be different.

Everyone meet Matt. He just married a wonderful girl named Abby. No wonder he has such a big smile on his face! More images to come soon and yes, Filipinos are very creative with their money!
