Chris Gillyard Photography

Chris brought an amazing energy to our day and captured us on a picture perfect day, and the shots are amazing. He knew how to capture our beagle's attention too. Total pro, and he gave us a sudden needed lift to our reception! Great guy with awesome gear and knows how to use it.

Chris was incredible!! Not only did he help in a pinch but made sure our shoot was incredible! He also accommodated our wedding day and made sure that everything went off without a hitch!! The photos are stunning, his personality brought these two photo shy people out of their shell. It all felt so natural. Thank you Chris Gillyard for being professional, accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile. Max and I are forever grateful. If I could rate you 10 stars I would!!! Choose Chris and you will not be disappointed!!

Chris was AMAZING! He made photos feel stress free for me and was alot of fun to work with.

Chris was super helpful in the process leading up to our wedding. He gave us ideas and let us make our own decisions, but was there to guide us if needed. He’s a consummate professional and did a fantastic job the day of!

Chris is an amazing photographer full of creative energy. He knows exactly what it takes to get beautiful photos each and every time. He's very accommodating and professional as we split our wedding and reception dates/venues.

When I say Chris is AMAZING… I mean he is absolutely everything you could ever want or need in a photographer! His attention to detail is impeccable. He made our wedding day so stress-free and truly captured the most important parts of it, things we wouldn’t even have thought to ask for photographs of, but definitely are so grateful to have now! He handled our huge family photos with care and patience. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I know a lot of it was due to his professionalism and the time he took to make sure we had everything we needed. I 100% will be referring everyone I know to him 😊

Chris was fantastic! He was energetic, excited and really captured the best moments! He listened to my wife and I’s wants and came to us with some great ideas, as well as showed an enthusiasm for our wedding photos that really made us comfortable and excited to take a bunch of photos! If I could rate him higher I definitely would!

You will fall in love with Chris as hope photographer. His energy is infectious. He makes sure you're having fun and comfortable. My guests all loved him and the pics were amazing! So many beautiful shots.

Chris was absolutely AMAZING to work with. So friendly and professional. I'll suggest anyone to get the engagement package because hubby and I are super shy and that broke the ice. The day of the wedding was so easy and fun. Chris was like a Ninja one minute he's there the other he was taking pics of family and friends, monitoring the sunset communicating with the DJ and event planner. Yup sounds like a lot of work and guess what? he managed it all so gracefully. Thanks Chris for capturing our special day.

Chris his work ethic is excellent. I love his work made my day a dream in reality. I will definitely contact him again. Thank you Chris for your excellent service and the most important for making me happy on my day💓

My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th Anniversary and hired Chris to be our photographer at our celebration. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him! I am the picture taker in the family and to relinquish that huge responsibility to someone else was a big deal for me…From the first conversation I had with Chris, I knew he was the one and our entire family was very pleased, we received so many compliments. Chris was professional, courteous, kind, patient… lol and funny! An absolute pleasure to work with! I absolutely 100% recommend him! Thank you so much Chris!

Thank you Chris for being such an amazing part of our wedding day. His communication, professionalism, personality & quality of work is great. Choosing a photographer was one of the harder decisions during the wedding planning process and I am so happy that we decided to go with Chris. We received our pictures quicker than I expected & have so many amazing pictures that captured our day from start to finish. I would highly recommend Chris Gillyard Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in or around the Central Florida area.

I would highly recommend Chris to any of my family or friends! He was so accommodating and made the daunting task of taking pictures enjoyable. He's very creative and has an eye for unique pictures. We had a lot of last minute changes due to Covid and Chris was able to maneuver flawlessly. We had several different locations to shoot and I am so glad we did. He was able to capture both of our personalities with each shot and I am in love with our pictures. Thank you so much, Chris! It was such a pleasure. - Laura

Chris Gillyard, thank you so much for making our wedding day so special! We cannot thank you enough for our amazing pictures. Chris, was professional, super fun, and easy to work with. Words can never describe how stunning and dreamy our pictures came out. The angles, the coloring, the natural poses. He captured everything, including prep, details, ceremony, reception, family and friends, and bride and groom portraits so that every subject was covered. We simply could not be more pleased with your photographs of our wedding. We love how you captured so many special moments and the beauty of the day. You were a pleasure to work with in the excellent advance planning and all during our wedding day. Thank you! We have a lifetime of memories through your pictures.

Chris Gillyard is a wonderful photographer!!! We contacted him last minute, and although he had a family event he still made it for our ceremony. Cheerful, funny, smart and super energetic he has a great eye for details and colors. He made the whole experience really fun for us. We couldn't be happier with the pictures he took.

Chris kept in contact with me throughout the process. He was open to my ideas and suggestions for photos. He was very responsive and answered all my questions. He arrived early for my wedding and had an assistant. He was professional and you could tell he was genuinely happy to be there to capture the day. He was great with all the guests. We even received compliments about him from our guests! We received our sneak peaks while on our honeymoon and full access to the others not long after! Wonderful professional photos and equally wonderful experience!

Chris Gillyard is the finest photographer you could ever ever hope to shoot your wedding. He and his wife go above and beyond to capture the most amazing and special moments of your wedding. The creativity that is put into the shots and overall final Product goes beyond excellence. It is PURE PERFECTION!!! He even went above and beyond years later. My husband and I paid for our album but never followed through to have it finalized. This year I found Chris and asked him to put together our album so that I could give it to my husband as an anniversary gift. Mind you this is eight years later. Chris not only put it together but found the original design and got it done!!! If that isn’t going above and beyond, I don’t know what is!! We plan on using him again in two years for our 10 year anniversary in Saint Augustine. Thank you Chris for everything you have done for us.

Chris and his team, were amazing, He was able to capture the beauty of our wedding, friends, family and love, like no one else. I highly recommend his services. There's no one else that would make you feel as comfortable in your own skin and fun!

Chris was incredible!!! We originally booked him for our June 9th intimate wedding aboard a Disney pontoon for a fireworks cruise! Unfortunately due to Covid-19, we weren't able to have our original plan. Chris was extremely understanding and accommodating during our replanning process, offering us many options to choose from as we moved forward! Chris was very easy to get ahold of and extremely flexible when it came to rebooking our last minute elopement to Cocoa Beach! Chris arrived early and eager for our ceremony. He met my husband at the bar and quickly got him both comfortable and excited for our ceremony! My husband has never taken formal photos before (no senior photos, no homecomings, no proms), but Chris was able to make him feel confident in front of the camera immediately! Chris captured beautiful photos of our first look, ceremony, and after I dos. He was incredible at giving directions and making us feel AMAZING on our special day! He was very quick in returning out photos to us. Normally in photos, I struggle to find a range of selection of photos that I like. With the photos Chris captured, I have had a hard time narrowing down to photos to share with others! He really does make magic with his camera. We look forward to using him again when we renew our vows in a few years!

Christopher Gillyard is just PHENOMENAL!!! I cannot find words to thank him enough!!! He’s pictures are fabulous, simply breathtaking! He is an amazing photographer! He was constantly creating poses, making sure everything checks out like the lighting the background etc... He had helped me tremendously to make our wedding day happen!!! He captured memories that we will cherish for a lifetime! I will eternally be thankful for him! BEST DAY EVER!!! 🥰 Thanks a MILLION!

Great Photographer who is not only very professional, but he also put his heart and soul into capturing the best moments on any special day! I highly recommend Chris to catch with his camera the magic of any special occasion. Thank Chris for your outstanding work! Ana.

We had the pleasure of having Chris Gillyard for our photographer. We met him at a bridal expo and could tell within the first few moments of our discussion that he was our guy! He was professional, to the point, artistic, and had beautiful photographs. He was extremely helpful with guiding how we should pose in the photos to get top quality photos for our engagement and wedding photos. Because Chris is such a great vendor, he knew all of our other vendors which made our nerves decrease because we knew they would work together well. We have gotten many compliments about our photographs from friends and family. We plan to continue to use Chris in the future for other events as well! He is highly recommended!

Chris and his team are wonderful to work with. I met Chris at a Bridal Show and from the moment I saw his pictures I was hooked. He is professional, very easy going and knows when to capture the right moment. My husband and I have so many amazing pictures and fun candid shots of our reception. In addition, we got our wedding photos back in record time! I would recommend Chris Gillyard Photography to everyone and would hire him again.

Chris was amazing! We had an unconventional wedding theme and he went with it and had a lot of fun. I have a special needs daughter and he was very patient, and understanding. He got some great shots and never got in the way, its like he wasn't even there. My husband and I aren't very photogenic so he would show us some shots to make sure we were happy. He was friendly and professional and very down to earth. He made sure everyone was comfortable and got some good shots. Every single guest had something nice to say about him. He went above and beyond to help us. He was by far our favorite vendor we worked with and we will be recommending him to everyone we know.

I'm not a very photogenic person and Chris really helped with suggestions on posing and had very creative photo ideas. He is also very artistic and the photos came great and unique.

Chris I met because he did my sister-in-laws wedding. He was willing to drive to Miami for the wedding since I wasn't getting married in Orlando. He is great to work with, very personable, and amazing photos. Everyone at my wedding asked for his information after seeing his work with the engagement session as well as how he was during the wedding. And to top it off it was raining and my ceremony was outdoors, and he was totally fine with it! I would highly recommend him
