Chris and Jess are the dream wedding photography duo!! Not only did my pictures turn out INCREDIBLE, but their presence on the day was truly a gift. They made me feel amazing, didn’t stress anyone out, laughed with my family and captured all the best moments! I knew looking at their portfolio ahead of time that the pictures were going to be stellar. I get SO many compliments on my wedding photos and it’s because of Chris and Jess! On top of it all, they are just super fun and grounded, loving people! ❤️

Chris and Jess are the best!! I spent so much time researching photographers and immediately fell in love with their aesthetic and after a phone call with Chris, my now husband immediately said "this is our guy". Starting with the engagement shoot, Chris went above and beyond researching a list of locations for us. And as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, Chris immediately put my worries at ease. Leading up to our wedding, they were very communicative and wanted to make sure they capture our day how we envisioned. On our wedding day, Chris and Jess made the day seamless and stress free! They were professional, on-time, personable, flexible and easy to work with. Jess was the ultimate hype girl, as she could tell I was a bit out of my comfort zone during posed pictures. And Chris showed his passion by getting creative with shots. We appreciated how quick they were with portrait shots after the ceremony to allow us more time to have fun with our friends and family. And they delivered on all the candid dance party pics we wanted. Put simply, they understood the assignment! Not only were we blown away by the stunning pictures, but the turnaround time of our gallery was impressive. Oh and we LOVE the polaroid book of our wedding day. They were so fun to work with and it's clear they are masters at their craft! Seriously cannot say enough good things about Chris and Jess!

As a couple who always feels awkward when posing for photos, we felt completely natural and comfortable with Chris and Jess on our wedding day. Every single photo we have from them exudes joy. Not a single moment felt posed or forced. We just felt like we could be ourselves with them, and they captured it perfectly. So if you want photos that will always make you smile, that you can’t stop sharing, you’ve found your new best photographer friends! From the moment you book with them, till your wedding day, they’re in your back pocket to help you with whatever you need leading up to your big day. Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or planning a timeline, they’ve got you covered

Photographers that feel like family ❤️ Chris and Jess are incredible. They have done both our wedding and maternity photos and we will continue to use them for years to come. They do an amazing job creating a fun environment and make you feel comfortable while providing direction to get the best shot. They have captured some amazing photos of my husband and I, my favorite being some sweet candid moments that capture “us”. I have referred multiple people to them and can’t say enough amazing things! You won’t regret booking them!

Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin!! From our engagement shoot to our wedding Chris and Jess made us feel special, comfortable and captured my Husband and I perfectly. My husband and I aren’t used to getting professional photos done, so Chris really spent time with us during the engagement shoot to get us comfortable for our big day and by the time our wedding came around it all just felt natural and easy.
And the photos… I can’t even begin to describe how well they captured our day. You feel the joy, love and emotion - I’ve received tons of compliments on how amazing the photos turned out.
I couldn’t recommend Chris and Jess more and can’t wait to work with them for other moments we want to capture in the future. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

When we first started wedding planning, the only thing I knew I for sure wanted was documentary style photography, so I was definitely picky when it came to finding that person/team. After seeing Chris's work and talking to him and Jess, I knew that that they would be able to make my vision come to life, AND THEY KILLED IT!
Neither me or my husband view ourselves as photogenic, and we're both so incredibly awkward in front of the camera, but Chris knew how to calm our nerves and gave such amazing instructions on how to pose. ALL of the pictures that we have received have been breathtaking and we are obsessed.
Not only is their work amazing, but they are such sweet souls and so easy to be around. I knew that no matter what, their engery would make the day amazing and I'm so thankful that they were the ones that captured our day.
I cannot shut up about our photos and highly recommend them to anyone looking for that documentary/candid feel.

From the moment we met Chris, we knew our engagement and wedding photos were in the best possible hands. He quickly noted how important it was to me to have pictures that were a genuine representation of my now husband and me as a couple, which can be tricky when my husband can't smile naturally to save his life. But Chris had it under control; he made us feel so at ease and had us having fun throughout all of our photos, which you can see in all of the photos we received back from him.
Not only was our engagement session and the resulting photos perfect but Chris & Jess remained fully accessible to us between that initial shoot up to the wedding, always asking if there was anything else we needed, including things outside of their responsibilities as our photographers. Chris even talked me down from panic when I found out the rain was likely on our big day, quickly creating a backup plan for our photo timeline just in case. Well, it did rain on our big day, but we didn't even use the backup timeline since hours before the wedding I texted Chris & Jess asking to keep our original timeline regardless, which they didn't even hesitate to accommodate.
On the day of, Chris and Jess were there not only to capture the most amazing photos of us, our friends, and our family but also to calm our nerves, support us, and make us feel beautiful. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Chris & Jess. I could not have made a better decision in choosing a wedding photographer, and I am so humbled that they also chose to work with us. I know my wedding photos will be stunning, and I cannot wait to see them!!

We had an exceptional experience working with Chris x Jess as our wedding photographers. From the initial communication to the final delivery of photos, they were very personable and responsive. They were great about helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera and telling us how to pose/move etc. They definitely tailored our experience to our personal styles and preferences. They perfectly captured our vibe as a couple. We especially appreciated the variety of different photo styles (black and white, grainy, flash etc.) in our final gallery as well as clear communication about when to expect to get our final gallery after the wedding. We highly recommend hiring Chris x Jess to capture your big day.

Chris x Jess are absolutely incredible, we loved everything about our experience with them!
First, the photo & video quality is amazing. We received the most beautiful, vivid photos capturing the happiest day of our lives, and our highlight video is so fun to look back at and relive some sweet, sweet memories. We could not imagine more beautiful reminders of our wedding day and we are as pleased as can be with every beautiful photo that was taken.
Chris and Jess as people are also wonderful and so easy to spend time with! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and Chris and Jess are so kind, fun, and bright that it makes this time go easily!
Chris and Jess are fun people, great to work with, and were professional and respondent throughout the whole process. Each time we needed help with something they responded quick and were very helpful. We love Chris and Jess, and highly recommend going to them for a wonderful photo & video experience!

Chris & Jess are hands down the coolest people youll ever hire. When searching for someone to capture our rustic ranch wedding, we wanted someone that capture all in between moments, little moments between loved ones and the special moments you dont even realize are special. They truly are so talented and really love what they do! I have to shoutout to Jess as well. You are truly going to get something so special out of them and they are some of the best souls around!

Chris & Jess are amazing! From the start their communication was great and they were able to help us get all the family photos we wanted- which was challenging with three sets of parents and large families, while still being able to spend time with our guests. The photos turned out incredible, they are the perfect combination of classic and unique. Chris asked us to trust him with some of the ideas he had and I'm so glad we did because they're our favorite photos. We would highly recommended Chris and Jess to anyone needing a photographer!

Chris and Jess truly helped make the wedding day go so smoothly! They were extremely professional, yet personable, from the minute we first started interacting with them, making me feel confident in my decision to hire them for our big day. My husband and I don't like taking a lot of photos but they were able to make us feel extremely comfortable not only during our engagement photos but throughout our wedding day as well. They were so efficient throughout the day as well, making sure that we got the pictures that we wanted but also had enough time to enjoy our event with our guests. While we haven't gotten our wedding photos yet, if they are anything like our engagement photos I know we won't be disappointed! We highly recommend Chris and Jess for all your photography needs - you will not be disappointed!

Chris and Jess were amazing to work with! Not only did I like their style and aesthetic, but they are also so incredibly kind, flexible, punctual, and great with communication. I talked about the most important items that I wanted to be captured, and they delivered. One thing I loved the most is that they really care. On my wedding day, their presence has calmed me, and they helped make sure that everything was on time so then I wouldn't have to worry. They go above and beyond the role of photographer and videographer. I am so incredibly pleased with my photos and film, and I can't recommend them enough!

Chris X Jess were the first vendor that we booked for our wedding. We heard you're supposed to do the venue but we fell in love with their artistry right off the bat. Their attention to detail, laidback vibes, and warm demeanor sold us from the beginning. From the engagement photos, countdown check-ins, and true VIP service on our wedding day, its been a dream. True story: I accidentally stepped in a pile of fire ants during my first look and they stopped everything to help me, calm me, and run to get me medicine at CVS right after. I mean, they are the best people. No lie, we got married last night and we wanted to immediately write this. We are so overjoyed to have had Chris X Jess on our special day. HIGHLY recommend <3

We (and so many of our guests!) have not stopped raving about Chris and Jess. The quality of their photos speaks for itself, but it’s so much more than that: they were super easy to get in touch with and chat with leading up to the event, and also easily and expertly navigated all the chaos of wedding day, bringing good vibes everywhere they went. From patiently talking through last-minute questions to jumping in to help with random things like pinning boutonnieres to kicking back and having a beer with us to ease the nerves before the ceremony, we seriously could not have had a more supportive and cool duo by our sides.
THANK YOU Chris and Jess for bringing so much to our wedding day. We love you guys!!!

Wowow! We hired chrisxjessphoto for our engagement shoot, wedding day and wedding reception photos. I am BLOWN AWAY by the result of our engagement photos and cannot wait to see how they capture our special day.
Chris was our photographer and even though it was 103 degrees out and we were nervous, he made us feel much more comfortable by the end. Chris even accommodated a last minute change when our makeup artist cancelled on us. Highly recommend them!

Chris is the man! When I saw the photos from Chris x Jess, I was immediately attracted to their style. Once a conversation began, I knew they’d be a perfect fit. We decided on one photographer and Chris was our guy. The day we took Our engagement photos happen to be the coldest day of the winter but he made it so fun and so comfortable and got incredible pictures. We have not yet received the wedding photos but I could not wait to yell from the rooftops how amazing Chris is. He was definitely in his happy place capturing our memories and his overall involvement in the wedding I know that the photos will be nothing short of spectacular. He is so chill and professional it’s so easy to be comfortable around him.

We cannot stress enough how AMAZING Chris and Jess are! My (now) husband and I are not big picture-takers and have never gotten professional photos done before, so we were a bit nervous before our engagement shoot, but Chris did so much to ensure we were both comfortable and acting like ourselves during both that shoot and our wedding. We loved how Chris & Jess' photos looked so natural and candid, and had more of a rich feel to them, and that's EXACTLY what we got for our wedding. You can tell they love photography because they really played with the location and the lighting, which resulted in truly unique and breathtaking photos. We have gotten sooooooo many compliments on them! My mom even said they are the most beautiful wedding photos she has ever seen!
We also got the chance to do some creative flash photos outside of our venue at night which turned out looking so cool -- they are some of our favorites out of our whole gallery.
They were also really helpful in the planning process by putting together a photo timeline for the day, so we knew exactly where everyone should be at what times.
So, anyways, I will never stop shouting from the rooftops about how amazing Chris and Jess are. If you like their style, BOOK THEM! You will not regret it!!

Chris, Jess and their second shooter, Sadie, absolutely EXCEEDED all our expectations for our wedding day. They were everywhere and no where all at the same time, seamlessly fitting in to our day (without sticking out like sore thumbs) and capturing it perfectly. Don't walk, RUN to book them before it's too late. They are worth EVERY single penny and more. Thank you, Team, for letting us relive our special day over and over.

It's hard to put into words just how fantastic Chris and Jess are. From the first time we spoke, we immediately knew they were the ones we needed for our wedding. From their very honest and open personalities to their stunning artistic point of view, they are all around the perfect photographers.
Having pictures taken of you can be such an awkward situation, especially for couples who have never taken them together. Chris and Jess emailed us with all the information we needed to prepare for our engagement photo session. What to wear, including colors/patterns that worked best for the session, what times of day were most beautiful, and how to relax and have a good time for the session. My husband and I were so nervous about our engagement photos, but we were quickly put at ease by Chris. He was so patient and so personable that we quickly felt like we were with a friend. Seeing the pictures made us even more excited to see what they would do for the wedding! The engagement photos were so beautiful we had a hard time picking favorites and ended up having a dozen printed for us to hang.
Both Chris and Jess were so easy to reach and answered all our questions, they also stayed in touch to make sure they knew everything they needed to about the wedding day. The day of the wedding finally came, and they showed up just as excited as we were! They brought so much life and joy to the day, that everyone was thrilled to be a part of the photos/video. They flowed so easily between myself, my husband, and the setup of the ceremony/reception space. They gave perfect direction to our bridal group/families that made the planned photos go quickly. They made sure everyone was enjoying the photoshoot; it did not feel like a chore.
After all of the planned photos were taken and the reception started, they followed everyone around taking amazing action shots! They were with everyone dancing, the people playing games, our cake cutting, bouquet toss. Everywhere you went you saw at least one camera! The entire party was so impressed with Chris and Jess, they really felt like part of the family. They weren't just photographers, they added so much energy to the wedding. Our wedding photos came in, and not a day has passed that I haven't stopped to look at these amazing photos. Jess and Chris really put their entire soul into these photos, it just makes every single picture sing. Their eye for color, light, scenery makes every photo they take so special. Our family loved seeing the actions shots of themselves and have already talked about the photos they cant wait to get printed.
We love Jess and Chris and we can't wait for future sessions with them. Because of the way they captured our wedding makes it easy to relive every day. We are beyond thankful they were with us on our special day and we know they will be with us for all our future milestones.

They really love what they do and it shows with how beautiful and meaningful their pictures come out. I just got mine back today and have been staring at them for the past three hours.

As not only a COVID bride but also a professional event planner who has worked with numerous photographers over the years in my career, choosing Chris and Jess to photograph our special day was hands down the best decision we made.
Having worked with likely hundreds of vendors through work events, I am incredibly particular about what I look for. Not only were Chris and Jess immediately responsive, intuitive, and the absolute easiest to work with from the get-go, they went above and beyond throughout the entire process to ensure that everything was a huge success. Oh, and did I mention every single photo they captured is TO DIE FOR?
Here is just a small list of MANY more things that they did to make us fall in love with them:
- We struggled finding a small, unique space for a private ceremony the day before our larger reception - Chris recommended The Lumen Room - the perfect spot. He sent photos, details, and connected me with the space and it couldn't have been easier. We used the space and it was exactly what we envisioned.
- They made suggestions of vendors throughout the whole process - all of which were incredibly helpful and lovely to work with.
- They were flexible, made incredibly helpful planning recommendations, and were always down to text, call, facetime etc. for the months leading up to the wedding, providing advice and tips on everything from 'most photography friendly confetti colors' to 'the best time to schedule photos to take advantage of phenomenal natural light.' (These two are literal MVPs and know their stuff). They also guide you through the process with beautiful and natural art direction that can make even the most photo-awkward (me and my husband) or photo-shy couples look like they should be on the cover of vogue.
And finally, I have to mention how they basically saved my wedding. Our wedding took place the weekend after the Texas winter storm - electricity had been out, water pipes had burst, and we received a call from our reception venue (72 hours prior to the big day) that due to burst pipes and a collapsed ceiling, we could no longer hold our reception in the venue. I called Chris, he made a few calls, connected us with some VIP venue staff, and within less than FOUR HOURS we had a new venue locked in and ready to go.
Here's what I can tell you in summary:
1. Hire Chris and Jess immediately - I promise it will be the best thing you do.
2. They are more than just photographers - they stick with you and support you through every step of the process. They are your friends and your biggest fans and they genuinely want your day and your photos to be incredible and everything that you hoped for.
2. They are immensely talented and their approach is incredibly unique, seemingly effortless, and so natural while being flawlessly distinctive to their style. The end result for you is gorgeous photos that will serve as amazing memories that you will cherish forever (and likely two incredible people to call your new friends.)
We can't stop looking at our photos to be honest. :)

Chris and Jess were life savers without a doubt. In May of 2020, they not only supported our event, but also went out of their way to make it extra special. Not to mention, our pictures and video turned out INCREDIBLE. We could not have asked for better support through the chaotic time of COVID; they were with us every step of the way.

Wow..where to begin?! The second we stumbled upon Chris x Jess’s work, we knew they were the ones for us! The ones to capture such special moments like our engagement and wedding! To say we made the best choice is a huge understatement!! The talent, the authenticity, the unique organic style is something that sets them apart from sooo many! Right away they made us feel like family and were so involved and truly got our style and who were as a couple. The beautiful art that were our photos we received back brought tears to my eyes! I couldn’t believe they were ours. Every single photo was captured so beautifully. Every single person that has seen our photos instantly were in awe and immediately asked who the photographer was and I couldn’t be more proud to tell them Chris x Jess Photography!! You will NOT regret or doubt your decision when you select Chris and Jess to capture your beautiful moments. You will also gain friends for life! Truly the best people!

Chris and Jess are the absolute DREAM TEAM. We had awesome vendors across the board for our September wedding, but Chris and Jess were certainly our #1 favorite. They captured both our engagement session and wedding so beautifully. Chris is so creative and has a way of putting everyone at ease in front of the camera. He's got some of the best dad jokes I've ever heard and kept us laughing the entire time. Both he and Jess just exude authenticity and that is very evident in their work. I can't recommend them enough! I wish I could give this 10 stars because they deserve it. My husband and I will cherish their beautiful photos forever.

I cannot, seriously, say enough about how incredible Chris and Jess were for us over the past 8 months. Everything from the communication, engagement photos, boudoir photos and, of course, the wedding was absolutely fantastic. They are very, very easy to not only be around but to "work with" and everyone, seriously, EVERYONE at the wedding loved them. We have a picture of Chris and Jess taking photos of the kids that were at the wedding and one with Chris actually carrying the youngest child in his arms while taking photos of the ceremony, which I wish I could add to this review. Absolutely incredible. And they both worked hard to get the best pictures they could while actively making sure that everyone was comfortable and having the best time.
We cannot imagine being more in awe and thrilled with how everything turned out. They even got in the Bobcat cage with the bride to take photos.
Chris and Jess, we loved you guys so much. Thank you two very much for everything and we hope to keep in touch.

Chris is an absolutely fantastic photographer. From the very beginning, he makes you feel so comfortable. He captured my husband and I’s love so beautifully and genuinely. He doesn’t take cliche, stiff pictures—he instead makes you and your partner feel so comfortable in your own skin in front of the camera. It’s like having an old friend take pictures of you, only difference is that you just met him lol. After our engagement shoot & before our wedding, Chris was so great about answering questions and giving us advice even though that’s not something he had to or needed to do. We are just so grateful to have found Chris—it’s literally like we won the “wedding photographer” lottery. In addition to gifting us with the most beautiful engagement & wedding photos, Chris has gifted us with an awesome new friendship! If you don’t hire Chris x Jess Photography for your engagement/wedding, you are truly missing out!

Chris and his wife Jess we’re hands down our favorite vendor of our entire wedding. My husband and I were nervous before our first shoot (the engagement shoot) because neither of us feel very comfortable in front of a camera. That quickly changed when Chris made us laugh hysterically about the classic scene from the Office when Kevin spills his famous chili all over the floor. Not only did this laugh give us a great photo, but it set the stage for a great relationship with our photographers. They provide a great balance of direction and freedom so that the photographs are stunning, but also feel natural while shooting them. If I could give them 10/5 stars I would! Can’t recommend this dream team enough.

They immediately put us at ease and cared about us as people, not just clients. They are genuine and caring people and incredibly talented photographers. When things on the day of the wedding did not go exactly as we had planned they were so calm and helpful. And our pictures are SO beautiful!! We couldn’t be happier and are so thankful they were there to capture all the moments of our special day.

My wife and I found Chris & Jess through The Knot once we began to have second thoughts about our original photographer. I was immediately drawn to Chris’s laid back, yet approachable vibe and decided to take a chance to see if he was available for our October 5th wedding. I was thrilled to find out that he was and a quick phone call sealed the deal. Chris and Jess have been an absolute dream to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They also handled our engagement shoot (which we LOVED) and we greatly appreciated how easily we could just be ourselves in front of the camera. Chris’s awesome personality really lets you loosen up to capture those raw, candid moments. I also love how Chris checked in with us periodically throughout the whole wedding planning process. He felt way less like a vendor and much more like a friend. Chris’s wife, Jess handled our videography and it made us tear up watching it. It was beautiful. We can truly say we have gained some amazingly talented friends and we’re so happy we found them!

From the very beginning Chris shows you how much he genuinely cares. He is so personable and builds a connection with his couples. He was always there to answer questions and would check in to make sure everything was going well leading up to the wedding. He was so easy and fun to work with. Our pictures turned out AMAZING! So many great moments were caught and we love looking back at them. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the pictures from friends and family! We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We would recommend him to anyone!

I can't compliment Chris enough! He is an INCREDIBLY talented photographer. Not only that, he is such a great person and down to earth. He hears you and wants to make it as easy and smooth as possible. He was about to change on the fly when our original engagement location closed and the photos still came out spectacular! My husband is not good at taking photos and hates it. With Chris, he was so calm and loved every minute of it. Chris knows how to have fun and capture the moments you want the most! He's able to capture the feeling between people and more. HIGHLY recommend Chris! Our photos came out better than I ever could have imagined! I wish we could have another wedding, just to hang out with Chris again 😁! I won't be able to thank you enough for capturing our perfect wedding day! THANK YOU!!

I can't not say enough good things about Chris and the unbelievable experience it was working with him. From the very first conversation I had with Chris, I automatically felt at ease and knew he would do whatever he could to deliver us the best photos from our wedding. Not only did he 100% succeed wth that, he also took so much stress off of us offering to help in anyway he could. I would recommend him to anyone, without any hesitation.

Chris and Jess are not only the BEST photographers, but they’re also two of the best people you’ll ever come across. No matter the occasion, you will never make the wrong decision when choosing these two to capture your special occasion. They capture the emotions, not just the people!

Christian was amazing throughout our whole engagement and wedding. Photography was the most important thing to me when we were picking our vendors, and we were beyond happy with both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. Christian is exceptionally talented and captured our style so perfectly. He felt like more than just our photographer and was there for us every step of the way. He did an amazing job keeping us calm and he always had everything under control. He very clearly puts everything he has into his wedding couples and it shows. We could not recommend Chris x Jess enough.

Christian was absolutely pleasant every step of the way!
He takes beautiful photos, photos that took away my self consciousness and my focus on my imperfections. He takes real moment photos and creates a memory along with it. He has a great since of humor and his assistant was so friendly and fun to be around on the wedding day as well! Christian and his assistant are professional, but will have fun with you as well!
We got the package that comes with the keepsake box and it is so beautiful! You get to pick out the prints you want in the box, and it also comes with the flash drive.
5 stars!

Christian is absolutely amazing!! We got our wedding photos back (within 3 weeks) and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined! He and his wife captured every detail and emotion that day. Not only is his work beautiful, but he works with you from day one to make sure everything runs smoothly the of the wedding. Having someone help guide you through such a stressful time and be so caring meant so much to us! We are so thankful that we found him. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely be reaching out in the future for more pictures!

I loved Christian's work from the moment I found him. So much so, that I saved his website until my husband proposed. The day I said yes, I reached out to Christian to book him.
Christian is so passionate about his work. He puts his entire heart and soul into his art and you can see it in every single image. Christian was the reason we stayed sane throughout wedding planning. He stepped in at every point when I needed him. He shot our engagements & our wedding. He was my go to. He kept me calm, he kept us on time and organized, and most importantly - he kept us having fun and enjoying every moment.
I truly mean it when I say he has become one of our closest friends. I'm already booking him for another shoot just because I love his work so much and I want our anniversary photos to be done by him in some really amazing place. I know he is only a text a way. He even helped me execute my husband's surprise wedding gift without any hesitation. He was there to answer my texts at midnight. Christian is our photographer for life.
He is the perfect person for your big day. He truly listens to who you are as a couple and captures that. You will be able to trust him 100%. Now we are fighting the urge to print all 400+ photos because we honestly love each one.
Christian, you have an amazing heart and soul. I am so blessed to have had you there on my big day. Now let's go get some vegan nachos and donuts!

If you want an amazing photographer that connects with you and your fiancé, is amazing with directing families and avoiding family tension, and will capture every beautiful moment at your wedding, book Christian!! He was flexible with our timeline but also helped keep us on track to make sure he got the shots we wanted. His use of color in the shots and in editing is incredible- so many photographers use washed out color, but I needed vibrant colors for our multicultural wedding. He eased our stress which made for the most amazing shots. The only thing I would have changed is that I decided not to do our engagement shots with Christian- which is a damn shame, we would have gotten such amazing engagements with him instead. The packages are affordable for the amazing quality he offers, and he is worth every penny!!! Such an amazing experience, and you get the rights to your photos so no watermarks, and his gallery website prints photos for a very affordable price. Hire the best artist in the wedding photography world and support his small business too!

Christian has a true talent for capturing real emotion and making photos look stunning!! He's very professional when called for, but also knows how to have a good time and help clients feel at ease. When I was trying to figure out timeline info, he was very helpful and answered all of our questions. On the wedding day, I was so grateful at how reassuring and understanding he was when I was running behind schedule and a complete nervous wreck. (Not to mention when he stepped in to help things run smoothly when the "event coordinators" were not coordinating). I couldn't be happier with our photos and with choosing Christian to capture and be apart of such an important event in our life. We'll cherish our photos forever. Highly recommended!!

Christian was a true life saver when it came to our engagement and wedding photos. My husband is not too fond of pictures but Christian was able to make him feel comfortable and relaxed. Now for the pictures, they came out AMAZING! The engagement photos were beautiful and the wedding photos were BREATH TAKING! He is a very detailed guy and caught photos and images I don’t even remember happening. Every photo that I asked for as a priority- he GOT! Our wedding portraits are gorgeous. I’m so glad we chose Christian as our photographer. I can go on and on. When you choose Christian, know you hired a man that truly cares and will go above and beyond to make your photo dreams come true!

Christian is really good to work with. Our experience with Christian has been really good. He made those awkward photo shoots into something fun and memorable.
Our first meeting was very business like. He went over the contract and went over what is expected of US and what we should expect from him. This allowed us to not have any miscommunications and the photo shoots went smoothly.
Photo shoot was really fun. Usually during photo shoot the photographer guides the couple with different poses and it's usually awkward. However, Christian made us comfortable and made it really fun. The awkwardness turned into genuineness and memorable.
Christian goes above and beyond for his clients. He is personable and really quick with responses. He reminded us about upcoming photo shoots, instead of us reaching out to him.
Our wedding day photos came out really well. We love every picture that he has provided us. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a photographer.
Thanks Christian!

Christian was very personal and helpful throughout the engagement/wedding process. He went above and beyond to help me and my family out with such small and big details. He was VERY flexible to my schedule and budget and I cannot get over how amazing the pictures turned out. I'm not just tickling you're ears when I say this, but for the quality that you get with his photos, you cannot find a better price. I wanted a photographer that had quality and style and could not find anything without breaking the bank but truthfully I lucked out having such a great photographer. He was organized, helpful covered all the details/questions that I had and even the second photographer he brought I had full trust in and she did amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend him to any bride. P.S. he is fun and seemed like he loved to travel.
