His calm and reassuring presence helped ease any nerves, and he blended in so naturally with our guests. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.
Hiring Chester was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate, skilled, and genuinely wonderful photographer.

m! He is a visionary! He puts his heart and soul into his photos and capturing all the perfect details. His work just speaks for itself. Not only is he talented but a pleasure to work with. So accessible, easy to communicate with, he is now a life long friend of ours.
Ps- people at our wedding were commenting how he did not sit down and was getting all the amazing shots/every detail. Trust me when I say, you won’t regret working with Chester.

rt, guidance, thoughtfulness and calmness really helped us get through the day. Working with him and his team is absolutely one of the best decisions we have made for the wedding.
Chester is a delight to work with and spend the day with. He and his second shooter Michelle were both kind, attentive, professional, and delicate. They were never pushy or demandi...
ng, and they managed to capture so many beautiful moments. Chester's background as a fashion photographer really comes through in his eye and composition. And at the same time, he really listened to our requests for more candid/documentary style photos. He is a wonderful person who I genuinely enjoyed spending the day with! I also cannot believe how quickly he shared teaser photos with us--it feels like there enough in just the initial gallery for an album already! We are in LOVE with our photos and highly recommend his services.
Chester is amazing! He is professional and friendly. He captured the most amazing moments throughout our wedding. He seemed to be everywhere capturing as many moments as possible....
He was great at directing us and communicating in general. We loved working with him and we'll definitely work with him again.
I found Chester through a recommendation of a friend who is a photographer and WOW he did not disappoint! He has the most calming demeanor & is so fun and easy to work with. He is ...
a true art director, and he really understands lighting and poses. He knows how to make every shot look natural. No cheesey images here, everything was soft, stunning & beautiful. We also did an engagement shoot with him, for the sole purpose of learning how to pose and what we liked/didn't like. It was SO helpful & he took all of our feedback so well! The wedding day went so smoothly because of him & his team. We just saw our teasers and cannot wait to see the rest! He kindly sent the teasers 2 days later so we can start on thank you cards. So thoughtful!
Chester captured the true emotion and beauty of my son and daughter-in-law's wedding day perfectly! It seemed that he was everywhere all at once to snap the just-right photos. More...
over, he kept up his energetic and kind personality along with perfect professionalism throughout the very long day, from bridal party prep through the ceremony, cocktails and then a night of dancing and dining. Chester took the time to know the venue (we were at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden) and was creative and thoughtful in his setting choices: outdoor shots on a sunny February day, in the conservatory rooms and then in the Palm House (even before guests arrived to capture the beauty of the room itself) during the ceremony and reception. I don't know how he did it but we had teaser photos within 48 hours. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos! I highly recommend Chester for your special day!
So nice we hired him twice! Chester was great to work with and we were so happy with the photos he took of our wedding last year that we hired him again this year for family photos...
with our baby. Chester was punctual, super professional and an unobtrusive presence at our intimate wedding. He’s amazing at finding unexpected locations/backdrops and I can confirm firsthand that he can work magic with even the most unphotogenic subjects. He managed to get some sweet smiles out of a grumpy baby, too.
Chester is an incredible wedding photographer. He is also very kind and easy going. Chester has a keen sense for capturing special moments between people and he artistically frames...
every scene. He was also great at directing me and my spouse so that we did not look awkward during the portrait session. Chester got photos of everything from the small details to the big picture and the photographs perfectly reflect the joy of the day. We will cherish the photographs forever!
