Chris is simply the best when it comes to wedding photographers! I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking. He does an amazing job and is an absolute treat to work with.
Why we were happy to have Chris as a wedding photographer and why we think anyone else would be too!:
We got so many compliments from family & friends about his joyful presence and professionalism. He is really great at interacting with wedding guests and getting photos that capture emotion and happiness.
We also really feel he puts his all into his photography and his passion really shows- he really wants to get the best shot for you! He is very communicative and caring to his clients and wants you to love your photos.
Our photos turned out beautifully and Chris was amazing to work with. Thanks Chris!
We loved working with Chris! He showed up early to set up and stayed late to grab more pictures from the dance. Chris's bubbly personality and energy helped to make the day fun for us and our wedding party! He has an eye for beauty, and we loved the originality of our photos. Thanks Chris!
Chris is THE BEST! He always goes above and beyond. ABSOLUTE MASTER AT HIS ART! He is a MUST for any photographer and highly recommended!
As a generally awkward-in-front-of-the-camera couple, we cannot recommend Chris highly enough! Not only did we get AMAZING wedding photos, but we also had so much FUN! Chris was super great at directing us for poses and putting us at ease while also listening to our wants and helping me pull off a (crazy fun) first look prank. He's upbeat, positive, fun, so encouraging, and was flexible as we adjusted our plans. We would recommend him time and again!
Chris makes the photo sessions feel so natural. There was never an awkward moment during it and everything came so easily.
The photos turned out amazing, and there were so many great ones to choose from. We are so grateful that we chose him to do our wedding photos.
It was a huge joy and incredible honor getting to work with Chris for both our engagement and wedding photos! There is so much uncertainty and stress in the wedding planning process, but hiring Chris Knorr Photography for your photos won't be one. His joy and expression for life is so inspiring and it really helps you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole photographing experience!
We first met him over tacos in 2019, and had him booked for our engagement and wedding photos within the hour. We felt the instant connection with him and knew that he was the guy we needed for our wedding day. We have not been disappointed! Even though we had to postpone our wedding by a few months, Chris's punctual communication during that stressful time helped ease our worry and he was such a light for us through that unknown, scary time. His work continues to fill the walls in our home, and even though we have been married for over a year, we still find ourselves looking through our hundreds of wedding photos every single week!
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about him- so you should book him for your wedding and see for yourself! We will never stop recommending him!
Chris- thank you so much for being such a pivotal part of our wedding day and for blessing our marriage with your incredible work! You truly do God's work and can't thank you enough for filling our hearts and our home with your talent! It has been the honor of a lifetime getting to know you and work with you.
Book this incredible human and photographer for your special day!! We booked Chris for our engagement and wedding photos back in 2019 for our anticipated 2020 wedding. Chris met up with us for coffee and allowed us the opportunity to get to know him and his style. We were instantly impressed and booked him immediately. Chris has a special gift of making you feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience. He kept us laughing which allowed him to capture our true selves in all of our pictures. Chris especially shined through when our original wedding day plans were shifted by COVID. He maintained incredible communication throughout the entire process and worked with us to reschedule our Wedding day 2.0 with him in 2021. We received so many compliments from family and friends about Chris. He felt like one of the guests which I think allowed him to capture authentic memories from our day to last a lifetime. We can’t recommend Chris enough!
Chris is amazing. His pictures were awesome and energy was unmatchable. Even the grumpiest of guests smiled. Chris made my wife and I feel comfortable all evening and made our smiles and laughs natural with his fun personality. Chis is one of the best photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend him for your event!
We had the opportunity to work with Chris for our engagement and wedding photos. He was so fun to work with and made everyone feel comfortable!
We had the pleasure of having Chris as our engagement and wedding photographer. I cannot express how great he is to work with, he bring such energy to every photo!
Chris made us feel like we could just be ourselves, which made for some great photos!
I would recommend Chris to anyone 📸
When you are searching for a wedding photographer, you don't realize until your wedding day all the intimate, special and one-of-a-kind moments you'll invite your photographer into with you. If you're looking for someone who will make you comfortable, peaceful and excited throughout the day, look no further than Chris! Chris was there to capture our first look, our first kiss and all the other beautiful moments throughout the day. To have Chris as our photographer was an experience my husband and I are still so grateful for. We were thrilled with how our photos turned out and how Chris captured some very special moments that we can now enjoy for a lifetime!
My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Chris Knorr Photography and are eternally grateful that Chris was our wedding photographer.
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a passionate, dedicated, energetic, all-around great person to capture your once-in-a-lifetime wedding memories.
We know Chris through family friends, and after looking through his portfolio, I immediately knew that I wanted him to be our wedding photographer. Our experience with Chris was phenomenal right from the start. Initial communication with him was easy, and his responses were prompt. There were never any hidden surprises with Chris, which put my mind at ease as a self-identified type “A” personality.
It became evident very quickly that Chris is a gifted creative. Witnessing Chris work his camera magic is captivating. Our in-person interactions began when my husband (fiancé at the time) and I went for our engagement shoot. Chris talked us through our location options and made suggestions about outfits. He then made us comfortable around the camera, guided us to pose in more photogenic ways, and got to know us as a couple. He’s a person who loves love! Chris is also open to moments of inspiration, seeing unique photo opportunities when we did not. On a whim, my husband and I decided to bring our canoe on the off chance we could capture some photos on the river. Chris was more enthusiastic about the prospect than we were. Nobody tipped the boat, and we now have some of my favourite photos of us.
Our wedding was a blur, but Chris wove himself seamlessly into the fabric of our day. We did have a grand vision of the photos we wanted that day and were relieved to follow Chris’s lead. He dutifully captured the obligatory formal photos but his best photos, or at least my favourite photos, were the candid ones he took of the laughter, tears and countless expressions of love and happiness that happened on our wedding way. His energy was unparalleled as he was there with us first thing in the morning and was busting some moves on the dance floor late into the evening, all while clicking away.
Not only is Chris an amazing photographer with an artistic eye for detail, but his happiness and eternal optimism helped turn me, a somewhat cynical person who felt lukewarm about a big wedding production, into a keen bride who truly enjoyed her wedding experience. His joie de vie is contagious, and his talent is undeniable. I would highly recommend Chris for any photography occasion and encourage everyone else to do the same. I would love to use his services again in the future.
We highly recommend Chris. He was so personable from our first meeting to the big day. He listened to our requests but also gave us helpful direction for our photos. On our wedding day, it turned out to be a lot colder than anticipated and we had to change our location plans as well. Despite all that, Chris brought great energy that helped us get gorgeous photos. If you are looking for someone to work with you and get candid photos with an artistic eye then we recommend Chris.
Chris was an absolute blast to work with. Needless to say, he was very responsible and responsive with requests. He has the most positive energy and will stick with you the whole day to get your shots. He will definitely bring out your smiles!
Wow! That was our first impression of the photos Chris captured of our wedding day. I never knew moments frozen in time could look so alive now. We could really feel and experience those moments as if they were happening all over again. Chris's personality is full of joy, excitement and passion whether during the initial meeting or the big day itself. Combined with his ability to be ever present in each moment, it becomes quickly apparent why his photography is a cut above the rest: Chris joined in infectious laughter when we were laughing, he busted out in dance moves on the floor when we busted out our own moves. Chris also makes you feel like a natural when it comes to poses and positions. Every time a great pose would organically form in the moment, it felt like a mini celebration as Chris's enthusiasm increased. It was just so much fun! I myself have never enjoyed photo-shoots of any kind - that is until I experienced the mini party that is a photo-shoot with Chris. His services went far beyond capturing our day, they actually augmented the whole wedding day. Treat yourself to your very own Chris Knorr experience with full confidence, looking no further!
Chris was the best photographer for our wedding we could have asked for! We got his name after he did several of our friends and families wedding and saw how beautiful their pictures turned out. Also he makes the entire day all about having fun and low stress! We loved every moment of our day and we’re so happy we had amazing photos to remember it with! Thank you!! -Amber H
We hired Chris for our wedding, we had a package that included an engagement shoot but we had already done one and he was so willing to work with us to find something that would fit in replacement. The photos we received back were more than anything we could have ever imagined. He is truly amazing. The amount of people asking me for his information for their future weddings is insane, everyone loved him! His energy is completely unmatched and he is very willing to do whatever photo you feel is right for you. In the midst of a pandemic he was a bright spot for our wedding!
I can't recommend Chris enough. We booked him for both our engagements and weddings, and have NO regrets. Chris makes you feel so comfortable in your skin, and with the process -- which is highly valued on your wedding day! Chris guided us through a variety of poses, and his high energy and positivity was loved by all of our family and friends. After our wedding, I got so much amazing feedback about how wonderful our photographer was.
Chris was extremely flexible and easy going, and made sure we got the shots we needed while still meeting our timeline. And of course, the end product is AMAZING. Thank you Chris!!
Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend.
Chris was our photographer for our wedding. He was very responsive, thorough, fun, energetic, and took some great pictures! I have no complaints. Thank you, Chris!
Chris captured our experience beautifully! His playful personality made it so easy to be ourselves and capture true emotion rather than just posed formality. Any photographer can take beautiful traditional photos, but Chris' creative eye and true passion and joy of his craft made our photos one of a kind. Chris, thank you for sharing in our experience, and helping capture the blessings of our wedding day!
Chris was absolutely fantastic! He was able to work around our tight schedule for engagement pictures and they turned out stunning. The day of our wedding Chris captured every moment imaginable from laughing with the hairstylists to capturing intimate moments between me and my husband and our wedding guests. The pictures were beautiful and I have received numerous complements on how fun and professional our photographer was and how gorgeous our pictures were. Without hesitation I would recommend Chris to capture your big day!
I have nothing but rave reviews for Chris. He was able to understand my vision for both our engagement shoots and our wedding day and make it into something spectacular. I had guests coming up to me at the wedding asking for his contact information on he spot! Such a joy to work with and he creates a feeling of energy and positivity that gets everyone smiling! We will use Chris as much as we can going forward!
Chris was incredible! He did my wedding and my sister's wedding, and we are so impressed with him! His love for Jesus is what drew us to him as we share that in common, and it made our experience that much more personal. He has a gift of getting people to smile and making you feel happy, calm and relaxed. He does so well with both formals and candid shots, so that you get a little bit of everything. He takes the time to edit all of his shots, and his hard work pays off. I am SO pleased with our wedding photos -- they turned out so incredibly amazing! He sends you a link to all of the photos so that you can download, print and share however many you want.
Advice to brides-to-be - my husband and I had a fairly tight budget. This is a once in a lifetime day, but only certain elements will last past the day. The wedding gown, cake, food, etc. will not last, but the things that will last are the rings, the photos/videos, and the marriage. Don't try to go as cheap as possible on the photos. I am so glad we didn't!
Thank you so much Chris! :)
We found Chris Knorr Photography on the Knot and instantly saw that his photos stood out among the sea of other photographers. He captures genuine emotion and sincerity with lighting and artistry. When we got back our engagement pictures from him we were blown away by how beautiful they were and were impressed at how he always seemed to catch a flattering angle :). The day of our wedding we had detailed plans for how we wanted the pictures to go, nature, however did not. Chris's up beat and excited attitude kept everyone happy and glad to be in the moment. He made the best of an interesting weather situation and took phenomenal photos in spite of less than ideal circumstances. We got our pictures back today and were so pleased at how well he commemorated our wedding. It wasn't through overdone poses but through genuine excitement and natural shots in the moment. From one former bride to a future bride I couldn't suggest a better photographer or a better value than Chris Knorr Photography.
Chris was a joy to work with. He made us all feel at ease and he made it fun! He kept everyone smiling, laughing, and having a good time. He also got our photos back to us very quickly and they turned out wonderful!
I was referred to Chris Knorr by a mutual friend who also used him for their wedding.
We had him do our engagements and wedding photos.
We have a 4 year old son and Chis was so wonderful with him!! He cares about what your photos look like and adjusts light and his lens' perfectly.
His personality is also awesome! He is so excited about pictures and making sure that he captures everything you want.
He is very smooth and organized with getting pictures done in a timely manner.
He was very easy to communicate with via email or over the phone.
His pricing was also very reasonable to other photographers that we had looked at.
Overall, I would definitely recommend him to anyone for their wedding or engagements and you will not be disappointed!
Great photographer and very skilled!
Chris and Kate were absolutely AMAZING! Our pictues are wonderful and they were so much fun to work with! I will forever recommend them to everyone! Thank you so much!!!
Chris and Kate were so wonderful to work with for our wedding photos! I had so much confidence in the pair that I didn't worry one bit about photos on my wedding day. They are both so fun and easy to work with, and they bring a unique style to wedding photography. We couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out - and we received them just weeks after our wedding! I would highly recommend using Chris and Kate to capture every special moment of your wedding day!
Chris & Kate Knorr of Pure Light Photography were excellent to work with! Together they brought varying styles and skills to my big day. They captured everything on a day that turned into a giant blur for me. I can't thank them, or recommend them enough. They were kind, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Plus you can't beat their price! Check them out - you won't be disappointed!
Kate Knorr and her husband are fantastic people to work with for your special day. They spent the entire day shooting great candids and were very organized in getting all the formal shots we requested. I would pick them again any day.
Kate and Chris did a great job at our wedding, and we have more beautiful pictures than we know what to do with! I would recommend giving a list of pictures you want to make sure they got, and they captured a lot of other moments too. They weren't in our faces much either, which is what I wanted.
