I genuinely could not have better things to say about Chris. He did everything in his power to make our wedding photos perfect. He 1000% knows what he’s doing and how to get the sh...
ots he wants, and he’ll also do whatever it takes to capture the shots you want.
He truly went above and beyond, not just as a photographer, but overall. At one point, he even helped us go back and forth between the bride and groom suites with messages, which meant so much during such a busy day.
He sent us a sneak peek the very next day and delivered the full gallery within just a few days, which was incredible.
If there’s one vendor I would book again without hesitation, it would be Chris. Splurging a little on photography is absolutely worth it. I’m so grateful I get to spend the rest of my life looking at and loving these photos.
Chris was so amazing for our wedding!!! He was so creative our photos turned out so great and there were so many of them!! Would highly recommend and would definitely use sowing cl...
over photography again!
Chris was a fantastic photographer to have on our wedding day and the months leading up to it. We are grateful we had him capture moments from our special day and would highly reco...
mmend him to couples looking for photographers in Atlanta and Nashville. His friend and second photographer, Parker, was also great and together they make a wonderful and kind team. Chris is truly dedicated to his work and among the best at his job.
Chris is an incredible photographer who brought a joyful, stress-free presence to my wedding day. He's professional, thoughtful and caught all the best moments of our big day. Our ...
picture gallery is amazing. I highly recommend Sowing Clover Photography!
10/10!! AMAZING, FANTASTIC, GENUINE, INCREDIBLE, SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS!! Honestly, I really do not feel words, or atleast my vocabulary, even begin to do Chris justice...
as a professional photographer and as a human being. While I was immediately interested in working with Chris from simply reading his "description of himself" and looking at his sample photos on his website, he immediately confirmed this for my husband and I when we sat down to meet him in-person for a "consultation" with him in regards to wedding photography. He is such a genuinely interesting and wonderfully nice guy, that my husband and I could talk to him and laugh with him for hours. This made taking pictures with him at both our engagement session and throughout our wedding day so, so enjoyable and authentic. My husband sincerely dislikes taking pictures, and Chris had Jason smiling and genuinely enjoying himself FOR A THREE HOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION (whaaaaat!?!). This is because Chris is unique, interesting, fun, and has a style about himself as a photographer that "cues" and leads to authentic, real pictures -- not the same ol' staged wedding pictures that most everyone else gets. Just look through his sample albums, or ask him to give you our wedding album password, and you will see the genuine emotion in not only our pictures, but in the pictures of our many guests present on our wedding day. We chose Chris because of his incredible personality and his unique ability to capture the emotion of the moment from different, refreshing angles. The second shooter he brought with him on the day of our wedding, Parker, was seamless with Chris. They are yin and yang, Chick to the other's Fil-A. They work so well together, and Parker was also so fun to be around!! You don't realize how much you're around your photography team until the wedding is over, and they were truly like friends throughout the entire process! I could go on and on about how they pitch in doing things well beyond their scope (helping other vendors, helping my coordinator, etc), but I think I would eventually run out of space in this review thing. At the end of the day, we LOVED every second working with Chris, and his team; and I would pay double to work with them again (which says alot, because I'm very frugal!). YOU WILL NOT REGRET WORKING WITH CHRIS, HANDS DOWN!! We love you, Chris!!!!!
Chris was an absolute joy to work with! He was super fun, comforting, and had incredible ideas! He literally laid on our dance floor for a picture and helped us carry a moped throu...
gh our venue. Everyone at the wedding raved about him all night. And, our photos turned out soooo beautifully!
I first met Chris at my best friends wedding in 2014/2015 and I have been obsessed with his pictures ever since. When I first reached out about our wedding, I was so surprised that...
he remembered me after so many years. My husband and I thought he was the kindest and most talented photographer we have ever met. Both of us are very awkward and don’t love having pictures taken of us but he made us feel so comfortable and both the engagement and wedding pictures turned out amazing! More than we ever could have wanted! 10/10 would recommend!
Chris and Parker did such an amazing job with our engagement photos we knew that they were going to do amazing things with our wedding. I’d seen Chris’s work and after our introduc...
tory Zoom call I knew that he would be the perfect fit to add to our wedding professionals. When I told him that I wanted to take some wedding party photos in a tunnel that had all kinds of graffiti he didn’t even bat an eye. He’s so personable my husband and I were completely at ease and he has an amazing eye for photography. At one point during our reception he came to me and said, “grab Mike and come with me, there is some amazing light and we have to get some pictures” - yes sir! Where he placed us to photograph didn’t seem that special to us, but then he showed us the raw image that he just shot - holy cow! I can’t recommend Chris and Parker enough, awesome people and photographers.
Choosing Sowing Clover for our wedding photography was one of the very best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. First (and probably most important) th...
e photos we received back are nothing short of stunning. We got back such a perfect mix of candids, beautifully posed photos, and fun behind the scenes moments. He and his partner also had the BEST vibe the entire day. They showed up in such a fun mood and did a great job of keeping things lighthearted and fun and getting the whole bridal party to really relax and have a good time while we did photos. So many guests came up to us at the wedding to compliment the photography team and how fun/kind they were. I would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone hoping for the most incredible photos (And have! My sister has actually already booked him for her upcoming wedding!) So so grateful for the way Chris captured our special day.
We are SO glad we chose Sowing Clover for our wedding photos. Chris and Canaan did an incredible job at making us feel relaxed, comfortable, bringing out the beauty of our wedding ...
day. The photos turned out spectacular and with a really timeless look that captured our guests and us. His rates are extremely reasonable and he’s a great communicator with a lot of experience. Definitely would go to him again for any photography needs.
With the number of wedding photographers out there to choose from, Chris at Sowing Clover Photography first gained our attention with his incredible portfolio; then it was his inte...
rest in our story and attentiveness to our desires for the big day. Even down to the timeline of how our wedding day unfolded, he gave expert insight and suggestions that relieved us of the stress of "How is it all going to come together?" He continually put us at ease with his professionalism and experience.
On our wedding weekend, he previewed the venues, was personable and approachable, and made sure that we relaxed! He reassured us that we could just focus on each other and the celebration, so it was a relief to know that the photos we wanted (and plenty that his creativity and hard work produced that we didn't even dream of) would be more than well taken care of.
In the end, he provided us with more than we could have asked for--superb quality and brilliant photographs that remind us of our special day, those present with us, and the joy and excitement that we hold on to. We more than recommend him as a wedding photographer and we are so happy we chose him for our big day!
You need to hire Chris for your wedding. Not only are his photos AMAZING, but his personality makes the night so fun and carefree! If you are looking for a photographer to make tak...
ing pictures enjoyable and not awkward, Chris is definitely a fantastic option. Plus, our photos are beautifullll!
I had the pleasure of working with Sowing Clover Photography in August 2019 and they quickly gained favorite status on my recommended photographers list. As a wedding planner, I t...
hink that the best photographers are the ones who capture the emotions and experiences of the day, who see details creatively, who can help their clients be relaxed and authentic while also keeping the timing on track, and who deliver photos that have a wow factor. Chris and Adam not only aced all of those qualities, they made the whole weekend more fun with their presence and then squeezed in an early morning underwater photo excursion with our couple on Sunday before catching their flight home. Favorite status all the way. I can't wait to work with Sowing Clover again!
Chris was wonderful! He communicated very clearly throughout the entire process, was laid-back and comfortable, and seemed to be able to be in all places at once on our wedding day...
. Chris made my fella and I feel at ease and was a delight to be around. He is creative, attentive, and listens very well. Chris made even the most mundane places feel magical and beautiful in our photos. He also got our photos back to us quickly and we were so appreciative! 100% would recommend Sowing Clover Photography :)
It's hard to put into words how thankful I am for Sowing Clover Photography. Long story short, our wedding ended up having a flash flood... which quickly turned into a mud pit. I w...
as afraid everyone would leave, but Chris not only stayed... he actually got IN the mud with us and photographed all of our loyal mud loving family members and friends. Chris helped make our wedding an unforgettable night with beautiful and fun pictures despite the mud and rain. We chose Chris based on his good character, fun personality, charm, and iconic photography skills. You will not be disappointed.
Sowing Clover photographed an NYE wedding at Venue 92 in 2018/2019. He did an amazing job and the pictures turned out amazing! We had such a great time working together to create t...

Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with! He shot a wedding at our venue, Clay Theatre, in Green Cove Springs, Florida. It was one of the first weddings at our new venue and his ...
gallery has yet to be topped! We still use his incredible images on our website and marketing materials. Chris is one of the most talented photographers we've had the pleasure of working with and we only wish he lived closer! PLEASE book more weddings at Clay Theatre! Florida misses you!
We cannot recommend Sowing Clover enough. 5++++++ stars all the way!
Chris was a pleasure to work with! We had a night time NYE Wedding so it was a very long day for all, but that did not stop Chris. He was zooming around the dance floor to get the...
perfect shot of everyone! Chris was very professional and flexible with all our requests through the day and night. He has a great eye for candid photos. We appreciated how quickly we got our photos back, about 3 weeks after the wedding. I would definitely recommend working with Chris & Sowing Clover Photography!
Chris was absolutely amazing on my wedding day and the months leading up to the big day. He was professional yet personal. It was a joy to have him a part of the wedding in regar...
ds to personality, but when he returned the photos it made the experience that much sweeter. They were perfect! Chris was everywhere catching every little moment, yet he did not feel intrusive. He was able to capture both intimate moments and laughter. He even made my husband, who is uncomfortable being photographed, comfortable. As a bonus our guest loved him too. Chris’s photos are authentic and beautiful. He was able to work in the freezing cold, crazy wind and with difficult lighting and still produce pictures that you would never know that he had to overcome all these challenges. He is an incredibly hard worker and went the extra mile to make sure I had all the photos I wanted and more. You will not be disappointed if you book Chris as his talent is undeniable and his spirt is joyful, energetic, and creative.
Chris is amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our big day. He is fun and relaxing to be around, and because of that he captures such natural moments. We love ou...

Thank you for capturing our special memories, Chris!
All I can say is WOW! Our wedding photos turned unbelievably beautiful. Chris captured every special moment during our wedding day and didn't miss a beat. He was literally in the m...
iddle of the dance floor with our guests snapping the most amazing and fun action photos. I'm still in awe how involved they were throughout the entire day & night without missing a single moment. His pricing is also unbeatable- especially considering they were there from the start of the morning until the wee hours of the night until sendoff. His personality made everything so fun and our guests loved having him around! Highly HIGHLY recommend booking him.
We could not be more pleased with each and every photo taken at my daughters wedding. They were just beautiful! I can’t believe all the unique and stunning moments Chris captured ...
that day and into the evening. They were professional in every way. He was wonderful to work with and truly knows his “Stuff”. I would highly recommended Sowing Clover to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer in the Nashville area.
When my fiancé and I had our first sit down with Chris we knew all of our personalities clicked so well. He was fun and full of ideas and so open to ours as well. On the day of ...
our wedding he knew how to make us not feel posed but make us feel like ourselves. He truly captured us in our most beautiful forms and we will cherish them forever. I would recommend Sowing Clover to anyone!
Chris is present, gregarious, and kind. He is ready to go the distance for every photo. He was sensitive to our limits and was ready to be as soft or extreme as we were. The guy la...

I'm thankful he was our photographer.
Absolutely loved Chris and his work! He and his 2nd photographer were fun, unobtrusive and flexible. There were a few off the cuff shots we wanted, and he had no problem stopping a...

I can not rave enough about Sowing Clover Photographer. My pictures turn out better than I ever could have imagine. Chris was able to create completely magical moments and capture ...
them perfectly. My parents could not be happier and they said it was worth every penny! My friends are still talking about how fun it was to have Chris around. He blended in so wonderfully. He is the absolute best!!
Coolest. Photographer. Ever. I had so many guests tell me that Chris was the best photographer they had ever seen...and that was before they saw the pictures. He clipped a speake...
r to his belt to get the party going during group pictures, he danced & sang with us, and at one point he was even LAYING on the dance floor taking pictures of the groomsmen belting out "Friends in low places." He and Austin showed up to our hotel at 9:30am and they were with us until after the send-off at 10pm. His photos are natural looking, bright, and beautiful. They captured our big day perfectly!!!
We were very pleased to have Chris for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. He was focused on the needs of the moment and covered all of the bases for us. One of our wedding day g...
oals was to have an awesome photographer-Chris helped us to achieve that goal! He took the classic posed photos along with many creative "out of the box" shots! Some of our wedding day pictures are simply breathtaking and could easily be on a magazine cover! We are thankful that our amazing day was captured so beautifully!
Chris completed a thorough consultation to get every detail we wanted captured. From 7am-10:30pm Chris was following up and helping us maintain our schedule and vision through phot...
ography. Our guests and the wedding party loved his spirit and he kept us all laughing adding bliss to our special day. The staging for photos and Live Photo capturing was world class. This is the best photographer in the business and this is coming from someone who is extremely familiar with cameras. On behalf of my wife and I. Thank you again Chris and Sowing Clover Photography!
Chris is simply the best -- he exudes warmth and care, he is patient and detail-oriented, he is artistic and thoughtful in his photography. If you want someone who will not only ta...
ke incredibly beautiful pictures (seriously, they'll make you weep they're so gorgeous), but will also be good company for a long day, book Sowing Clover!
One of my top 3 highest priorities for the wedding was great photos. Chris was excellent. We never actually met in person before the rehearsal dinner & welcome party... just easy p...
hone or email communication. I was looking for someone to hire and trust to execute the job with skill. I didn't want someone to add one more thing to my plate or micromanage. Don't worry- no need to micromanage a professional and skilled man like Chris. We gave him a checklist of must-have photos of family and friends a week before the event... and he had it there to check off and make sure he got them all. If you're wanting to trust someone to do a great job and go the extra mile, hire Chris. He captured our wedding day at The Church at Woodbine and reception at The Hermitage Hotel downtown flawlessly. He was with us from early that morning until we said goodbye to everyone at the reception. We also highly recommend hiring him for the rehearsal dinner/welcome party events! He does a great job blending in with the crowd and capturing great photos.
Working with Sowing Clover from the beginning was really refreshing. There weren't any hidden fees or up charges for more hours or more photos. It was straight up - you get us fr...
om the start to the finish of your day and you get hundreds of edited photos and your own database. On the wedding day Chris was so much fun. Our family, wedding party, and my Husband and I really enjoyed working with him on our wedding day. He was enthusiastic and made us laugh and had a ton of crazy ideas for photos. Most importantly, the photos he delivered were amazing and we had hundreds to look at.
We worked with Chris for both our engagement shoot and wedding. He did an amazing job! He is so easy to work with and fun to be around! He captured the whole wedding day perfectly ...
and we will treasure our photos for years to come.
There just aren't words to describe how grateful I am to have had Chris as our wedding photographer. While we entered the experience as strangers, I truly feel like we left it as f...
riends. I count myself blessed to have worked with him, and our wedding was not only captured beautifully by him, but it was also made better by just having him around!
His talent is undeniable — our wedding photos were incredibly beautiful and unique to our personality and the style of our wedding. It was so wonderful to relive that magic day through his eyes. We will cherish them forever.
Chris is professional, proactive, pleasant, and comforting. He's a fly on the wall, capturing shots that you never knew he could, but also a source of joy and fun during the day. He's a true pleasure to be around and a true talent.
SCOOP HIM UP if you can! Your photos, and wedding, will be better for it.
We hired Chris because we loved his artistic not-your-traditional-bland wedding photography style, and he delivered 100%. Our pictures are both gorgeous and interesting, he capture...
d all the key moments effortlessly, and everyone looked great. Besides his obvious talent, Chris is a pleasure to work with! Thank you once again, Chris, for executing our wedding picture vision spot on!
Chris of Sowing Clover Photography did an amazing job photographing our wedding. He caught every single moment from every angle, even when that meant running up and down flights of...
stairs. I honestly don't know how he did it. He was such a pleasure to work with (everyone loved him!) and the photos he delivered were phenomenal. He's got a keen eye for photography, using angles and shots that other standard photographers may not go for; but that pays off in personal-feeling photography that captures the joy and emotion of the event.
We couldn't have asked for anything more. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Go with Sowing Clover Photography - you will not regret it!
LOOK NO FURTHER! Chris is your guy!
This man is a miracle worker and a blast to work with. He is truly gifted and was born for this!
My favorite part is he will be there with yo...
u from the beginning of the day to the absolute end. NO TIME LIMIT!
I've never been more comfortable with someone photographing me. It is usually awkward and no one knows what to say or do, but he is so easy to work with! Things flowed effortlessly really. You also forget how many places this one person has to be, but he was there ready with his camera for every moment.
He truly has an artist's eye and will capture beautiful things you would've never even thought of or dreamed of. His pictures are true works of art that we plan to hang on our walls.
We will enjoy these pictures for a lifetime. Believe me, he's a professional, and he's your guy.
Chris was great! So delightful to work with and a genuinely fun person to have at our wedding events. The pictures were beautiful. He captured the emotions so well and gave us such...
great memories of such a special day. Don't think twice -- hire him! You won't regret it.
Chris from Sowing Clover was amazing! He was extremely professional and a joy to work with. Part of achieving beautiful photographs is the ability to put the subjects at ease and ...
then represent the true emotions that the subjects are feeling. Chris captured every moment from getting ready before the wedding to the very end of the reception. Our guests, friends and family all loved working with him and the wedding coordinators thought he was very gifted in his coverage of the wedding. Some of the pictures were beautiful, some were whimsical and others were passionate. He truly captured the love between the couple and the joyfulness of the event. All in all I couldn't ask for a better photographer. Thanks Chris!
You may not realize it, but your photographer is with you more than anyone else you hire for your wedding day; if you want your day to be even more fun and joyful, hire a photograp...
her who is not only talented but also personable. You will definitely find both in Chris; he is such a wonderful person that you will have to laugh and smile at his enthusiasm--which makes for natural photos.
One of the reasons I met with Chris initially was because of his photo package; he was the only photographer I had found who did not put a price on time. Most photographers offered 7 hour packages or upgrades to 9 hour packages, etc. Chris simply asked me when I would be getting ready and showed up early to scout out the house for good lighting. He truly wants to capture the best moments of the day, so he was willing to work an extra long day to document the entirety of the experience. Throughout the day, he was constantly finding opportunities to get a good shot. For example, we had some downtime before the ceremony to go to the restroom and touch up, so Chris offered to take some portraits of my best friend and her husband who had recently been married. There are so many amazing photos above and beyond what I requested.
Most importantly, I love how my photos turned out. They tell the story of the day just as I wanted to remember it. If you have already scoped out other photographers and are on the edge about your decision, ask Chris to give you a call (I had already met with another perfectly nice photographer before Chris but was feeling unsure--even over Skype I could tell that Chris was the right choice.) You will be glad that you did.
BOOK CHRIS NOW. My husband and I spent so much time looking for the photographer of our dream...and let me tell you, we found him.
Other than your husband/bride to be, you spend m...
ore time with your wedding photographer on your wedding day than anyone else. We met Chris for some drinks to get a good feeling of how well we would work together. We talked for hours and eventually forgot we were even there to talk about photography. Not only did we meet the photographer of our dreams but also made a great friend.
We got married in Atlanta on January 7th...yes the weekend of snowpocalypse 2.0. Chris came a day early to ensure he was there and was extremely flexible even with the ever changing forecast of Atlanta weather. He called me a couple time just to make sure I was doing okay and to see what he could do to help. What other photographer would do such a thing!? Our pictures look absolutely stunning. Sometimes I forget they are from my own wedding because they are so beautiful. I cannot tell you how many people have told us our photographs look like they are out of a magazine. There are many people who can take nice pictures, but there are very few people who have the ability to encapsulate your unique personality and the love between you and your spouse like Chris; that is truly a gift. His quality, passion, and creativity are unparalleled. My husband and I both give him our highest recommendations. He's absolutely incredible!!
I wish there were words that have yet to be spoken to describe what a unique and enjoyable experience it was to have Chris as our photographer. Upon meeting him I could tell he has...
never met a stranger. He enhanced our day by showing genuine interest in us and our guests. As a result, the images that were captured that day were not only beautiful but so meaningful to me and my husband as we reflected on our wedding. Trust that he will do whatever necessary to photograph all the important moments as well as capture the small things that you never realized were important until you see them. We are so grateful to have found him!
I can not describe how pleased we were with Chris! He went above and beyond the whole day! We had a destination wedding in Gatlinburg, TN so we were not familar with the area. Chri...
s went out the day before and scouted the area for the perfect spots. I am not the biggest fan of getting my picture taken but he made it easy and fun. Thank you Chris for being you and helping to add our special day!
Chris was absolutely wonderful and the pictures were stunning!
Sowing Clover Photography from day one was amazing. When I decided I wanted to use them I emailed Chris right away. We met on Facetime and it was like I had known Chris forever. He...
asked all about my wedding plans and also just got to know me (what I liked to do and my interests). We kept in touch throughout my engagement and on my wedding day Chris was awesome. He was on time and checked out the place before it all started. Chris was very interactive with everyone in the wedding party and made us all feel comfortable. At the reception Chris was so fun. He was dancing with us all and having a good time. The outcome of all the pictures were incredible and more beautiful than I ever imagined them to be! Sowing Clover is wonderful and I am so glad I used him to capture the best day ever.
Chris did an amazing job at our wedding! We used him as photographer for both our engagement session and wedding day. He really captured all of the special moments of our wedding...
and is very comfortable to work with. You can tell he puts a lot of time and effort into editing all of the photos. We loved all of the photos we received and have gotten a lot of good comments from our friends and family about how wonderful the pictures are.
We are so glad we used Chris/Sowing Clover for our engagement pictures and wedding! He made us feel completely comfortable and made taking pictures fun and easy! He's very creativ...
e and knows how to use the location to his/your advantage to create beautiful pictures! He's personable and open to your ideas. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone getting married.
Chris is amazing!!! So easy to work with and his photos are stunning. I am so glad I choose to use him as my photographer. This was my top thing I wanted done well and knew that I ...
was in great hands and didn't have to stress at all. Thank you Chris they are perfect!!
Chris with Sowing Clover was an amazing photographer for our wedding day! He was wonderful to work with from the beginning of our contract through receiving our beautiful photogra...
phs. He absolutely captured the essence of the wedding day through his lens! He was professional, sensitive, thorough and delightful to be with as he "shot" so many expected and unexpected moments during the day! We could not be more pleased with the quality and the beauty of the photos. We had a second shooter as well, and she was amazing, too. Sowing Clover is highly recommended.
