Chris was kind, upbeat and made the day fun! Best of all the photos came out fantastic! We are so happy with them!
I would not recommend Chris Nachtwey Photography for your wedding photos. Of all the areas of my wedding that I thought could go wrong (logistically, there were quite a few I knew ...
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!
We first used Chris for our engagement photoshoot and loved how his pictures came out, so we hired him for our wedding! He is a very kind and fun professional. He definitely will w...
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.
Having Chris as our wedding photography was a very smooth and fun experience! He made things easy from the start which is helpful in the midst of wedding planning. The photos came...
out great and we loved the unique shots that he captured.
Chris Nachtwey was a ROCKSTAR at capturing the best moments of our big day. He's efficient and has a great eye. We're so happy with our photos and appreciate him as a human so much...
! We look forward to booking him for all our big milestones!
Chris was so patient and understanding during every step of the process. He really cared about caputuring the wedding in a way that reflected our personalities.
Would recommend hi...
m to anyone!
Chris was a true gem! From the moment I contacted him I could tell he was just a genuinely wonderful person, not to mention a talented photographer! We met in the early stages of o...
ur engagement and he was warm, welcoming, and obviously excited to meet us. He explained all his services and we agreed to book him. Not only did he photograph our wedding, but he did our engagement session(on my birthday no less!). My husband and I were a little skeptical about doing this, we always thought the engagement pics were a little awkward, but we chose where to do them and he wholeheartedly agreed! He made the shoot as painless as possible, he let us interact and just be ourselves. He captured our relationship effortlessly! Leading up to the big day, he kept in contact with me, asking me what pictures mattered on our day, what we didn't feel comfortable doing, and how he could make the day flow easily. When he and his team (which consisted of his lovely wife April!) showed up on our wedding day he made everything go so smoothly. He was like a ninja getting all those memorable shots! His second photographer was very gracious and clearly hand selected by Chris to work with him. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about him, he is professional, but personable. My wedding pictures came out even more fantastic than I anticipated. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone looking for a truly talented person.
Very professional, flexible, and WONDERFUL photography. I love the photos and I love the diverse shots he captured. He knows how to deftly navigate weddings and get keepsake photos...
for family and guests. He was very responsive to requests and adaptive the day of the wedding.
I would highly recommend him as a photographer!
