chris van winkle photography

We got married at the Perry Hotel in May and had Chris and LeAnn as our photographers. They did an awesome job! They captured so many amazing moments; from our first look to our guests making special memories of their own at the reception. We love the way everything turned out!... Read More Chris is very professional, personable, and overall a great person to work with. His style was perfect for our wedding and I would highly suggest him!

Chris is the man! Its was such a pleasure to work with Chris and his team. I knew right from the get go that Chris was the right guy for the job. He's laid back yet super professional and responsive. Just breeze through some of his portfolio and you will quickly see his style is... Read More unique yet classic and simple. I thought it was cool, in the midst of wedding day madness chris pulled us aside to drive us around the park and get some pics of just Jess and I. Those pics are the best of the day! And it was really nice to spend some time alone with my bride. Not only did chris and the team crush it on the photos but he put together and really sweet video / silideshow with a personal touch of letting us pick the tunes we wanted to go along with the video. We leaned on chris for his guidance and expertise when it came to the day of the wedding. He made things much easier for us on the day of the event which created a stress free environment for Jess and I. All and all we have nothing but good things to say about chris and his team. So holla at him today and get another thing crossed off wedding to do list

Words do not do justice the work that Chris and LeAnn do. From the very get go, we felt extremely comfortable meeting with Chris. Chris and LeAnn are both the perfect blend of fun to work with, while still showing a sincere professionalism and passion about what they do. We were... Read More blown away by our engagement photos, and the ideas that Chris and LeAnn had with regards to setting, lighting, unique venues, etc. Chris stayed in touch without us throughout the year, and working together on our wedding day was working with more than a vendor. Chris and LeAnn truly value the service they provide, but also the experience their clients go through on their special day. If we wanted it, Chris and LeAnn made it happen. If Chris and LeAnn had an idea (and they did frequently thankfully!), they knew how to communicate those in a way that would make us feel like it was the best decision for what we wanted. Chris and LeAnn both spend a real amount of time getting to know their couples, their interests, and what they are looking for. We watch our slideshow so often it's embarrassing to admit, we just got our flash drive of pictures and are blown away, and we thank our lucky stars every day for what Chris and LeAnn did for us. While we really enjoy our posed and planned pictures, the amount of real and raw candid shots that they were able to get throughout our day are so beautiful to have and relive. Our family and friends have been reaching out to us non-stop raving about our pictures, especially friends who have been married recently and gone through this same experience. We recommend Chris Van Winkle photography for your special day, or any family event. We will have these special moments forever, and Chris and LeAnn deserve all of the credit for that. Thank you Chris and LeAnn!

We had a super intimate wedding, and Chris did an amazing job capturing the entire day. He captured those sweet special moments, the silly moments and everything inbetween. And he was an absolute please to work with. He ran around the entire property with us as we dashed... Read More around trying to fight the wind and beat the rain. (And let me tell you...those pictures he took with the dramatic skies were beyond incredible...definitely from worthy.) As for during the ceremony...I didn't even know he was there, but he got it from every angle possible. And to top it off, he got the photos back to us super quick, only a couple of weeks after the wedding. We love our photos, and we loved working with Chris. He's definitely a winner! 🙂

Chris and LeAnn did a fantastic job capturing our wedding! They were both a pleasure to work with, professional, but also laid back and fun. They truly cared about making our day special! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

We had the Wedding day that we dreamed of thanks to Chris and Leanne! They captured so much and we will cherish their amazing work for a lifetime! Looking at the pictures makes us feel as if we can relive our most beautiful day ever! Fantastic!

Chris & LeAnn did a fantastic job. We had the most perfect day and the photos really reflect that. They made everyone feel comfortable and we got some great candid's. My husband and I will be using them in the future for family photos. Thank you!!

Chris Van Winkle and his assistant, LeAnn are absolutely amazing. The patience they both display is extraordinary. There were times during the wedding planning that I was very stressed, but Chris seemed to be there to help ease that stress. Although he was my photographer, he... Read More was also there to help guide me through some tough scheduling decisions. Something I appreciate about Chris Van Winkle photography is that Chris does not over-edit his photos. I often see wedding photos that have been so edited, it is hard to even see what the individuals in the photos actually look like. I wanted my photos to be natural, and that is what I received. Chris offered guidance while allowing me to direct how I wanted myself and my wedding party to pose. I felt that the two of us worked as a wonderful team, and because of that, there were not pictures that I had hoped to have done that were not done. In the end, Chris felt like an old friend or family member that I had known for a long time. He has this electric personality and makes everyone feel comfortable! If I did my wedding over, I would hire him in a heartbeat!

Chris and LeAnn were a great team! They were professional but personable, and knew all the awesome photo spots in town. I highly recommend them!

Chris and LeAnn were amazing to work with! They are so relaxed and outgoing they seem to just fit right in! I was slightly worried about my pictures turning out because it rained almost the entire day but once I got my pictures back I seriously could not be more happy, they... Read More turned out so beautiful and all of my family and friends keep commenting on how great they are! I would recommend Chris and LeAnn any day!

Our wedding pictures taken by Chris and LeAnn turned out perfectly. Chris knows how to capture natural, candid moments, which was exactly the kind of style we were looking for for our wedding photos. What's more is he was a relaxing presence. He knew where to be when and was... Read More able to take the lead when needed. We could not have asked for a better photographer or better wedding photos!

There is no way to put into words how amazing Chris and LeAnn were on our wedding day. They made the day so much fun and made us feel so special and comfortable the entire time. We hired Chris 15-16 months before our wedding and he always kept in touch and reached out to us... Read More throughout the year in regards to our wedding. He was so personable and very easy to get in touch with. The best decision we made in the wedding planning process was booking them to shoot our wedding photos. They captured our love so beautifully.

Chris and LeAnn photographed our June 2016 wedding, and they were amazing from start to finish! Chris was very responsive to all of my emails, very professional and flexible. The day of the wedding, Chris was so calm and collected, and put up with our crazy family and friends... Read More with ease. We received SO many amazing photos back. He somehow captured everything from our day. It was so fun to look back and be able to live the whole day over again through our photos and video.

Im not even sure where to start. Chris did an amazing job capturing our day. He and LeAnn were able to create memories that will last a lifetime. More often than not, photography provides a simple reminder of an event leaving the mind to fill in the gaps - not true with this... Read More team. Literally, the photos place you in the moment. We could not be more appreciative of the talent, kindness, and professionalism. Welcome to our family Chris and LeAnn!

I am not sure can say enough good things about Chris and LeAnn! As most brides, photos were important to me and I had a groom who has never been a fan of having his picture taken. So, I was a little nervous. However, as we got to know Chris and LeAnn, I realized we had nothing... Read More to worry! They made my husband feel at ease, and we had an absolute blast taking pictures! We just got the pictures back and are in love with them! The other point that I would like to stress is Chris' professionalism. As a bride planning a wedding from miles away, he made the process so easy. He was always prompt with his responses and available for any questions. Their work is stunning and we truly treasure our photographs. They were able to capture the day and all of its emotions so beautifully. Both my husband and I would recommend Chris Van Winkle Photography to anyone who truly wants to capture the most beautiful moments during their special day! Thanks again guys!

Thanks Chris and LeAnn for capturing our special moments on our special day

Photography is an area that no bride should skimp out on and luckily for us Chris was comparably affordable and the quality of his work surpassed that value. He truly did a phenomal job capturing our big day. On the day of my wedding, he made me feel super comfortable and as the... Read More ceremony began and my focus shifted to my groom I didn't even notice he was there. However he captured every single detail that I want to remember forever. I have received endless compliments on how amazing my pictures look and I owe that to Chris and his assistant. They were amazing!

We would HIGHLY recommend Chris and LeAnn as photographers for ANY event you may need them for!

My partner and I didn't even notice Chris and LeAnn on our wedding day, and there's no greater compliment that I can give.
