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!

ester + rainier // wedding day
September 2, 2009 // weddings
Ester and Rainier got lucky, instead of a super hot day in the the blazing sun of Summer, they get a beautiful overcast day. Mary Frances and I had a blast working with these two, as well as having a great sense of humor, they had the love too. Also got to work with the boys at Starcross'd Creative, peep their blog for an awesome same day edit!

Rainier and Ester are so dope. As are their insane guests, haha. View the photobooth video for some good laughs. I love how the plants disappear halfway through the video, haha.

mariel + joey // wedding day
August 18, 2009 // weddings

Vintage Spanish themed wedding, amazing. Mariel and Joey brought the style from San Francisco to San Diego and everyone who attended wasn't dissapointed! They had their ceremony at the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala and their reception at The Prado in Balboa Park.

Joey proposed to Mariel by cutting out a hole in the book "Love in the Time of Cholera," which you can see in the photo! Smart Joey, very smart.
