# Chocolate Chip Photography

Chocolate Chip Photography is a laid-back photography studio based in Newcastle upon Tyne, run by Chris and Shazia. They specialise in capturing authentic moments for couples and families who reject traditional, formal approaches to photography.

The studio serves free-spirited couples seeking wedding photography that breaks the rules, families wanting to document their most important relationships, and parents looking for newborn photography that feels natural and unhurried. Their ideal clients are those who appreciate minimal fuss and want something genuinely different from conventional photography experiences.

What sets Chocolate Chip apart is their deliberately anti-formal philosophy. Rather than imposing rigid traditions or stiff poses, Chris and Shazia prioritise authenticity and fun, creating a down-to-earth environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. They explicitly market themselves to rule-breakers and those seeking something beyond the standard offering. The photographers describe themselves as "super laid back," which resonates strongly with couples tired of pretentious, stuffy wedding photography experiences.

Their portfolio spans newborn sessions, wedding photography, engagement shoots, and family portraits. The "Chocolate Chip style" emphasises natural, candid moments over staged formality. This approach appeals to modern couples and families who value genuine connection over aesthetic perfection, making the studio a distinctive choice in the North East photography market.
