Chad did an amazing job on our photos! He was a joy to work with and a calming presence on the wedding day. 10/10 would recommend him!!!
Great to work with and the photos are amazing!
Chad was recently our photographer on May 31, 2024. Chad was wonderful to work with. He was kind, patient, and was able to direct us for our photos. Chad was put on a very tight schedule due to our timeline with the venue, and he did the absolute best! I cannot wait to see the photos that we receive from him!
When looking for a photographer for my wedding, I knew I wanted someone who could capture a fantasy in the woods style feel. The moment I saw Chad's portfolio everything felt right! He is extremely accommodating, friendly, professional, and laidback to work with. I appreciate how easy he made the whole process and his attention to detail. Thank you so much Chad for making my wedding so special! Could not recommend him enough.
Absolutely the best! Not only did Chad Wu make us feel comfortable, but gave just the right amount of direction. We had a small window to get the pictures we wanted on our special day and he completely understood what needed to be done. I highly recommend!
Chad captured our wedding day so beautifully! We look back at our photos and it brings back all of the joy and happiness that we felt in the moment.
When there are so many things to keep track of for the day, it's wonderful to have the photography part of your day flow so smoothly. Highly recommend!
If you need a photographer Chad Wu is the one!! He did such an amazing job on our wedding photos!! He was professional, great with our guests, and provided the final pictures in a timely manner!!
We hired Chad to do our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer! When I originally looked through his website I noticed immediately that he had a more artistic flair than many other photographers in the area. His photos were more interesting and less generic, we were very excited that he was available on our date, which was a year away. Besides his obviously beautiful photos, Chad is also a complete professional and such a nice person! Easy communication, smooth booking process, fast turnaround time, and both the engagement session and wedding day were comfortable and relaxed. Our wedding photos turned out so amazing, we love them so much, he really caught all the special moments and facial expressions that will help us remember that day forever. Even in the wind and cold on the day outside, all of the photos turned out beautiful and Chad knew where to place everyone and efficiently get things done. He also helped us find some really gorgeous photo locations for both the engagement session and wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about Chad, when you hire someone for your wedding this person is present for the most important moments in your life, and looking back we will always be grateful that it was Chad behind the camera. Thank you!
If you want a reliable, stable and amazing photographer book Chad Wu. He was so organized and each conversation was reassuring and consistent. On the day I had full faith in him getting amazing shots and shots we requested. I would refer him over and over again.
Chad was amazing to work with! He was really helpful in the planning process, and was super patient and flexible on the day of. My pictures turned out amazing and I would recommend him without hesitation!
My husband and I booked Chad for our wedding. I have done a fair amount of modeling in the past so I knew exactly what type of photographer I wanted to work with. Chad has an excellent eye, it's a natural talent not all photographers possess. He uses light well and his photos are natural. It looks like he barely edits so you will look just like you in the photos, in the best possible way.
Chad was very prompt with his communication and easy to work with. He was punctual and utilized his time well on our wedding day. Our wedding party had two small children and he was very patient. Chad is a very friendly guy and got along great with the wedding party and our families.
I don't have anything but the highest compliments for Chad, he's a great photographer and we are so happy with the gorgeous photos commemorating our big day.
Chad was an amazing wedding photographer! He did my brothers wedding and I had to have him for mine as well! He captured every moment perfectly and honesty I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! We are so thankful for our photos and was worth every penny we spent!
We booked Chad as our photographer for our Wedding day 10/10/20 and he exceeded our expectations! He was on time, professional, and was very kind to everyone. He instructed us how to pose and lead us to great looking spots so everything looked great. He also worked very well along side our videographer; they didn’t get in each other’s way at all. We got our pictures via a web gallery that allows for downloads of all images (without additional cost per download) about 3 weeks after the wedding and the pictures turned out perfect! We would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a photographer!
I can't recommend Chad enough! Our wedding plans changed several times due to COVID, and Chad was super accommodating. The whole process with him felt very personalized as well. On our wedding day, we had so much fun doing the photo shoot with Chad. The resulting photos are GORGEOUS. Chad's the best!
Chad was the most amazing wedding photographer. Our pictures came out absolutely stunning. Not only was the end result amazing, but Chad was an awesome guy to work with. Super fun and professional. Always quick to answer any question and was easy to get into contact with. I would recommend Chad to ANYBODY. You need him as your photographer.
I found Chad on Instagram! I came across his unique style of wedding photography and fell in love with his artistic esthetic. He was great to work with and made the whole experience feel very natural. The pictures we got were beyond my greatest imagination! I will cherish my engagement & wedding photos for a long time; his passion for his work really shows through. He communicated promptly and clearly, couldn’t ask for a better experience :)
We recently used Chad's services for our wedding. Chad was super accommodating, and made our wedding extremely special, and seamless. Which is especially needed during these tough times. If you are looking for a photographer who can get the job done, and also is one of the professional and chillest people, then you need to hire Chad.
Wow! We couldn't be more happy with the way our photo's turned out with Chad. Not only is he just awesome, nice guy... his photos are beautiful, unique, and original. He does a great job of catching special moments and setting up unique compositions with his photos. The best way to describe his style is magical! We are so happy we decided to book Chad and would recommend him to any Bride and Groom! Thanks again, Chad!
Chad was our wedding photographer for two different ceremonies, one Hindu and one Catholic. He was so flexible with planning amidst Covid-19 and needing to change plans several times. We met with him several months before the wedding to begin discussing what we wanted, and even when my husband and I were unsure or needed more information, he was always very accessible, responsive, and easy to talk to. At both ceremonies he was very professional and respectful. During the photo session after the ceremony, he had so many ideas and poses! We felt very comfortable and got everything done so efficiently while also having a lot of fun. We are so pleased with how the photos turned out and he really has an eye for how to make the details pop and have everything come together perfectly . Would very highly recommend him to anyone in the metro Detroit area!
Chad was super easy to work with - very professional, well-organized, efficient, and easy going all-in-one. I was drawn to Chad's breathtaking outdoor photography before seeing his wedding photography. So he was the perfect choice for capturing all the scenery, depth, and colors of our outdoor venue (a private lake surrounded by hills, trees, and fields). Our photos turned out amazing, and he did such a great job of capturing special moments for our guests as well. He also made us feel at ease and natural - which was something I was worried about. He was clearly very experienced with weddings, and just always knew where to be, but never intrusive. Highly recommend!!
I found Chad on “The Knot”, we were planning our wedding in a very short time due to an illness in the family and we wanted that family member at our wedding, basically planning a wedding in about a month and he said he could do it! He was very accommodating from the beginning, talked us through his steps and what he’s like through a phone call and basically planned our day out with us. Without ever even meeting him we knew we could trust that our photos would turn out amazing. Then coronavirus happened and our wedding got postponed, he said he was available for the postponed date and sent us a new contract right away. Shortly after we got news that this family member was not doing well at all and we started to plan a backyard wedding that would be happening within the next week. I messaged Chad and he was in! Our wedding day was SUPER hectic and he was very calm, sweet and accommodating. On top of how professional and amazing Chad is, he takes BEAUTIFUL photos! These photos made our backyard wedding look so elegant and effortless. There was not one photo that my husband and I did not like and he gave us our photos sooner than we expected. We have been/will always recommend Chad to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
My advice - stop looking and reach out to Chad asap! You won’t regret it. Chad is everything a couple wants for a wedding photographer. He is organized, relaxed, creative, and of course...insanely talented. We hired Chad for our engagement and wedding and both were very pleasant experiences. During the planning process Chad was instrumental in helping with the timeline and flow of the day. He has a ton of experience in weddings and gave really helpful advice to help make our wedding as smooth as possible.
As stated above - contact him, hire him, and you will have beautiful memories to cherish forever.
cannot rave enough about Chad! He is so professional, he showed up dressed to the nines, and his photography skills matched just as high! Being photographed can bring out a lot of insecurities, but Chad's photos helped take that away. He listened to my concerns and his photos were BEAUTIFUL! He made sure we were on schedule at all times and was very relaxed during the whole process. He was also very quick at getting our photos back to us! Thank you for everything, Chad! You made our wedding (and engagement photos) AMAZING!
Chad was extremely easy to work with, professional, and flexible. Plus, our photos also turned out perfect! We were out of state while planning our wedding in Detroit, and yet he still took the time to get to know us before we booked him to ensure it was a good fit. Chad kept all our details organized and was easy to communicate with. Everything from scheduling to payment was super simple.
He has a ton of experience with weddings and applied that knowledge to make our big day run smoothly. In addition, our photos were returned in just 3 weeks. He truly delivered on every single thing he promised.
One thing we really liked about Chad was that he charged a fair price and the hundreds of photos that he took all belonged to us afterward — with no fuss over pricing for individual prints, watermarking, etc. It was nice to not have to worry about an additional cost after the wedding. All in all, working with him was a great experience and we would highly recommend!
Chad has been exceptional since the beginning. He did our engagement photos and was stunned at how he made the photos look so natural and real. He is super relaxed and easy-going which makes taking photos easy and stress free. He did not make it awkward at all when taking photos! Chad has been very organized in preparation for our wedding day. He typed up a schedule which helped us plan our day and to ensure we get all the photos we wanted. He has been easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had! On the day of, he arrived promptly and began taking photos. He took all the shots that my husband and I requested. He was so efficient we actually got ahead of schedule! Chad was so fun and it was such a pleasure to work with him. We will always fondly remember our wedding day thanks to him and his stunning photos.
Chad Wu is an AMAZING photographer! We used his services for both our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Our engagement session with Chad was so easy, and we knew he would end up being the perfect photographer for us! When we got our photos back, we were blown away, and it was no different for our wedding day photos. Our photos look like they could be on the cover of high-end magazines. There are not enough words to express how happy we are with Chad and his photography, and would recommend him to EVERYONE! As many of our guests said, Chad was almost "invisible." He never got in the way, but captured EVERY single moment on our wedding day. He captured moments that we didn't even know existed! He's the best photographer in Metro Detroit, and you will not be disappointed when you hire him!
Chad was an absolute pleasure to work with. Wedding planning can be stressful and Chad made his portion of the day so seamless! He was consistently on time, calm and made everyone in the room feel comfortable. Chad, thank you for everything! You captured our wedding day perfectly.
Chad was incredible as our wedding photographer! He took the time to meet with us a few weeks out from the wedding to talk through the day and what to expect, helping set the stage for the actual wedding day and make us more comfortable and less stressed.
When searching for a photographer, we were really drawn to the artistic style of Chad's pictures, and this became clear in the direction he gave when taking pictures, while also letting us have fun and feel natural instead of staged. We received the pictures back very quickly, and we are obsessed!! They came out beautifully, and Chad made it easy for us to access the photos online to share with friends and family.
HIGHLY recommend Chad for anyone looking for a photographer -- cannot say enough how amazing he was throughout the entire process, and his work speaks for itself!
Absolutely incredible!! I'm a professional event photographer and had really high expectations and standards for my wedding photographer, and Chad definitely met them. Chad was really easygoing and professional. He gave us a suggested day-of timeline (since I didn't make one until last-minute...) and was super flexible on the day of. He also got our photos to us in record time!! I couldn't believe it! He has an incredible eye for what he does, and all the photos he gave us were consistent with the work he displays on his website and social media. I loved that he brought lighting, especially because my whole day was indoors. He was perfect!!
Chad was amazing to work with. He was one of the first vendors to reach out and help us set up a time frame for the day, it took a lot of stress off planning for the day. He was very detailed on what to expect and made sure my husband and I had a few minutes to breath and take in the moment, since it is such a busy day!! Very professional and made our day fun!
Chad was a pleasure to work with! We're so happy with the photos he took of our wedding. Very professional and friendly. His lighting was great, and he had plenty of suggestions for relaxed and natural looking photos!
We booked Chad because I was instantly drawn to his style, and I'm so glad we did. We love our wedding photos! Chad did an excellent job of capturing moments without overly posing us. Our pictures turned out natural and relaxed. Honestly, he blended into our moments so well that we didn't even notice him taking pictures, which did wonders for me since I'm camera shy!
I highly recommend Chad, you won't be disappointed.
Let me start off by saying I hate having my picture taken. It's awkward, I can't relax, and I rarely ever like how pictures come out. However, Chad managed to pull off the impossible because I am IN LOVE with my wedding photos. They all look amazing and are better than I could have imagined. We left every meeting with Chad feeling more relaxed and with a better understanding of what we needed to do and expect in preparation of the wedding. He was was extremely helpful when it came to the timeline for the day of, getting all of the shots we wanted, and ensuring the poses looked natural and not forced. The turn around for the photos was also very impressive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and Chad was one of the best vendors we hired for our big day.
Chad was incredible to work with! He was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. On our big day he was professional and so patient with us (we had a lot of family members and a huge wedding party). We received our pictures back very quickly and we are obsessed. He got everything we were looking for and more. He was able to capture all of our emotions that day as well as the emotions of our guests. We can't stop looking at our photos. We highly recommend Chad!
Chad is an incredible photographer! From our first phone call, I knew that Chad and I had the same style and I could tell that having him capture our special day was the right choice. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole planning process and made me feel at such ease when we had our final call before the wedding. On the wedding day, he made everyone feel so relaxed and was able to capture every single moment perfectly. He is so professional, but still has a way of taking pictures all night without you even realizing he is there. I love his style, the quality of his photos, and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for the perfect photographer to capture their special day!
Chad was so awesome to work with. He captures such a natural look and this is why we booked him. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out so beautiful and the weather conditions for our wedding were not ideal (rain, hail, very windy, and sunny) but you would have never known looking at our photos. We are so happy with our decision and would recommend him to anyone!
My husband I can not recommend Chad enough!
We actually used a different photographer for our engagement photos and while she did a great job, we just didn't click and we wanted to feel 100% comfortable on our wedding day. Not only was Chad super easy to work with but he has an incredible laid back personality that will help put you at ease on your big day! Our photos are absolutely stunning as well and his shooting style is incredible! While Chad took time to pose us some, he did a phenomenal job of capturing our natural emotions and personalities throughout the entire event. BOOK CHAD NOW... you will not regret it! :)
Chad was an amazing photographer in every way. He was reasonably priced, understood our style, and dealt with some crazy scenarios we threw at him (ex. wanting him to take drone photos of us in a row boat). He seemed so genuinely happy and excited for us throughout the entire day, which really put us at ease around him. He had creative ideas, and our photos turned out beautifully.
Chad was a phenomenal photographer. He was easy to work with, professional, on time, and the photos were beautiful. I was impressed with the quick turn around in getting our photos back. I appreciated Chads communication leading up to the wedding- He didn’t miss a thing! He got all the shots I was hoping for! So impressed with everything before, during, and after the wedding. I highly recommend Chad Wu photography!
We are so glad that we hired Chad as our wedding photographer! He was prompt and attentive any time we had a request or needed help with planning. He was wonderful to work with on our wedding day, and the pictures turned out amazing! We have enjoyed reliving our wedding day over every time we look at our pictures. We definitely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding!
Absolutely AMAZING!! My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. Chad is very professional and SO easy to work with. I would highly recommend him!
I am beyond happy that we found Chad to do our pictures. He was so helpful, easy to work with, fun, and efficient! Our pictures came out perfect!
Chad is amazing! My husband is not a fan of getting his picture taken, but Chad made him feel comfortable. Our wedding photos are magical and he got them back to us in record time. I could not say enough wonderful things about Chad!
I stumbled upon Chad while doing research for photographers around the Detroit area. I was a bit weary in my search as I am not from the area so wanted to be sure I could find someone that would be a good fit. As I was doing my research, Chad's pictures stood out among the rest and really matched the style we were going for. After initially reaching out, he met with me to discuss my vision and what I was looking for in a photographer. After that first meeting, I knew we had found our fit. Leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive to my questions and met with us a couple of weeks beforehand to go over last-minute logistics, photos we hoped he could capture, etc. The day of the wedding, he was there, on time, and ready to roll right away. I am not usually very comfortable in front of a camera but Chad made it so easy and we actually had fun! He gave us direction during the day so we didn't have to worry about a thing. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. We received our photos a couple of days ago and they are breathtaking! The lighting and poses he used brought out the best in my husband and I and we are so grateful to have the most amazing pictures. Thanks again, Chad!!
Chad was the most amazing photographer that I could have asked for. He not only took the most amazing shots, but he also captured moments that make me tear up every time I scroll through my beautiful photos! He was professional, understanding, organized and VERY nice. He was reasonable and his quality and creativity with poses is any bride's dream. Would 100% recommend to anyone in a HEARTBEAT!!!!! Don't look further for your photographer, go with Chad!!!!
Chad is an absolute boss! We couldn't be happier with his services. Our wedding was literally 2 days ago, so we had only gotten the chance to see a handful of photos on Chad's camera after they were taken...but from what we saw, we were absolutely blown away.
Chad was energetic and easy-going. He made the bridal party feel comfortable and didn't get rattled when we got rowdy.
I would totally give the guy 6 stars if possible. Recommend to anyone and everyone.
Chad was so amazing to work with. My husband hates taking photos and he made him feel so comfortable. We LOVE the photos we got and Chad made sure they were our personality :) Would 100% recommend him to anyond!
If you've looked at Chad's work and are reading these reviews thinking 'this looks too good to be true' it's not! On top of having an awesome style of shooting/editing that we really liked, his prices were fair and he goes the extra step to make sure you're satisfied.
Chad was such a great photographer...so much so...that I am a man writing a review...on the knot. My wife and I were really pleased with his work and easy-going attitude. He makes sure that what's important to you is important to Him and it comes through in the photos. If you want to capture those special 'moments' Chad is a great choice.
Chad was simply great! Photography was one of the most important things to us when planning our wedding- and Chad did not disappoint. We had not met him prior to the wedding, but that didn't make a difference with how easy he was to work with. Would recommend to anyone! As for the pictures we have seen so far... perfect!
Chad was an awesome photographer! He is very personable and is quick to respond to messages! He shot our wedding 5/13 and the photos are absolutely stunning! I would recommend 100%! Thank you Chad for everything! Will use him in the future!
Chad was great to work with! He was very organized leading up to the wedding and gave us good advice on prioritizing photo opportunities and making a timeline for the photos. He was relaxed and fun to spend the day with. My husband hates having his picture taken, but felt at ease with Chad. Most importantly, our pictures were awesome! We love the portraits with the wedding party and family, and candid shots of the reception. The pictures match our warm memories of such a special day. We absolutely recommend Chad Wu Photography!
Chad was professional, high energy and extremely responsive. I absolutely adored everything on his website and knew he would do a wonderful job at our outside fall wedding. What I wasn't prepared for was Chad's ability to almost be in two spots at once. I'm not sure how he did it but he was able to get every shot I wanted even though I'm sure it meant he was sprinting from one spot to another. Chad was wonderful to work with, had awesome suggestions and was extremely efficient with his time. The pictures from our wedding were ready earlier then I ever imagined and I loved them all. I would recommend Chad to anyone looking for high quality photography as well as someone to capture amazing energy and emotion.
