would be an issue) my wedding photos were not one of them. I will preface this review by saying that my wedding day had quite a few unforeseen circumstances that were out of Chris’s control (or mine). However, Chris's poor decision making, lack of compassion and professionalism have lead to me to writing this review. I debated writing this, it's someone's livelihood, but even after 6 months, I'm still left pissed when I think back to my experience, so here I am. I can’t tell you how many moments Chris missed because he wasn’t there! I provided Chris a shot list prior to the wedding and was instructed to fill out his survey and he’d have everything he’d need from that and our conversation before the wedding. He got both and I still ended up with pictures that were a must have that weren’t captured! Zero pics of my dad seeing me for the first time. Zero pictures of the school buses I used with my wedding party. Missed family pictures because Chris was too rushed. I counted nearly 2 hours that Chris stood around doing nothing because he wasn't with me. My mom, who is not well came out to have family pictures taken after our first look, and Chris said no, he'd get those after the ceremony. He knew my mom wasn't well, and turned her away. He then left for the chapel, despite him saying he'd stay glued to me for the day (his second photographer was already there). We sat around for nearly an hour with no pics. After the ceremony, we rushed to get pics taken (even just me pics because he didn't get them earlier). Chris YELLED at our guest to leave/get on the bus (later apologizing - though should never have happened). It was VERY apparent Chris didn't want to be there. He was rushed, impatient and rude. He mismanaged his time! My brother-in-law is in zero pictures because he had to deal with a medical emergency to which Chris said we’d get those with him again later – never happend! I have no pictures WITH my guests because Chris asked to leave. To be fair, I had Chris booked from1:30-9:30 and told him I’d probably want him for another hour (wedding ended at 10:30) but he could send his second home and that I would pay the extra hour. He knew this going into the wedding. I was willing to pay the extra hour and he knew that. Chris, on multiple occasions came up to me and my husband asking to leave. The third time we just said ok. So by the time I was relaxed he left and gone were the pic opportunities with my friends and family! I’m left being mad. Mad I can’t get those moments back (ie my dad seeing me for the first time). Mad that the pics I do have looked rushed and stressed because he was! Just so many standard pictures, I don't feel I have. And the entire reason I picked my venue was honestly because of the pictures we could take - which we never taken advantage of. I’m left pissed. The experience I had on-site on my wedding day was terrible and I wouldn’t recommend Chris. I wouldn’t’ want another bride having the same experience. You want someone to roll with it and have a good attitude should anything go wrong (and it did on my day) and that’s NOT Chris!

ork off of your energy to make your pictures really capture your unique relationship! Before the event, he will discuss with you all the specifics of your day to make sure that you get every picture that you want throughout the wedding. We were even racing against the clock to get all of our pictures in before sunset, and he worked very efficiently to make it happen. We love how our sneek peak of our wedding photos came out and cannot wait to see the rest of them! His assistant, Steve, seemed equally as knowledgeable and talented. I highly recommend Chris Nachtwey for your photography needs.

out great and we loved the unique shots that he captured.

! We look forward to booking him for all our big milestones!
