Christian made the whole experience super easy. His photos are wonderful and just what we wanted. He’s super nice. We loved having him as our wedding photographer. 100% would recommend him
Christian and Heather were fantastic!! I cannot say how grateful we were for their expertise and Christian's eye for the perfect photo. Christian took both our wedding and engagement photos. We married December 2nd and had a sneak peak a few days later! Christian was professional, fun and so fun to work with. He is so efficient that we were ahead of schedule so we had more time to spend with our friends and family! His social media is a great and very accurate representation of his style. Make sure you check out his black and white photos too!!
Christian was a second photographer at my wedding and he seemed to do a good job. Our main photographer recommended him to us for our daughter’s first birthday. I was so excited he accepted the job because all other photographers I spoke to wouldn’t travel to the party and only wanted to do in session shoots. As a mom I’m always taking pictures and I wanted one day where I could celebrate my daughter and not be “working” (being photographer). I signed Christian’s contract, paid him on time. A few weeks before the party he emailed saying he needs to adjust times (didn’t tell us why but I suspect it was another gig) proposes alternatives. We settled on him being at the party for 30min and a backup (who we didn’t know) would be there the last 30min. It wasn’t ideal but we were willing to make it work. The day of the party I get a text saying he’s arrived but I don’t see him. I call him and turns out he went to the wrong venue (45 min away). The backup photographer was with him too. He was so nonchalant on the phone and sort of laughed as if it was funny he wouldn’t be able to make it. He had the nerve to ask “what are you doing tomorrow” to which I responded “what do you mean? The party is today.” He offered (and emailed again) to do a shoot for free (he did refund me) but that would mean I’d have to secure another photo site and set up/decorations. It’s almost been a month and I don’t want to speak to him ever again. In my mind he ruined the party. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy the party I had to pivot and ask/beg the venue worker (on top of her doing her job) take photos on my cell. The venue worker basically felt obligated to console me. Luckily my neighbor offered to take photos of my daughter opening her presents too. This was a one time special event and I’m still so upset at the added stress Christian caused (that I can’t stop thinking about it). It was obvious he booked another gig and instead of having the decency to keep the commitment he made to me via contract he chose the other job instead. I would rather he had canceled and allowed me to find another photographer instead of leaving me high and dry the day of and LAUGHING about it (like it was a “silly mistake”). Book with caution.
Christian was amazing!! You can tell he really enjoys what he does and he helped make our special moment even more memorable. We can’t thank him enough! It was a pleasure
Christian was amazing to work with! We had two calls with him to go over exactly what we were looking for in a photographer and he was perfect. He also provided us with a questionnaire which helped us both save so much time when taking photos the day of the wedding. He and his assistant Heather were prompt and had a great sense of humor, which put us at ease on one of the most nerve wracking days of our lives. We were thrilled with his work, highly recommended!
We got married in September 2022, and Christian was one of the first vendors we hired. Christian was recommended to us by our venue, and we really liked his photography style. Once we did an intro call with him, we were sold. He instantly made us feel at ease, was very easy to talk to, and clearly knew his stuff. In the months leading up to our wedding, Christian was responsive and helpful. On the day of the wedding, Christian and his second photographer were great! They helped guide us through the process and made sure we knew where we needed to be at every moment of the day. They also worked really well with our videographers and venue coordinator. We received our photos 9.5 weeks after our wedding, and they were worth the wait! We'd definitely hire Christian again!
Christian was timely, professional, and fun to work with! We are so happy with our photos as they truly represent our day. Christian made the entire experience so much fun and I cannot recommend him enough.
Christian is a talented photographer who is great to work with. He was willing to work within our limited budget, which was greatly appreciated. It makes us (and our family and friends) so happy to have his beautiful photos. We would happily recommend Christian.
WOW.....Christian, you are amazing at what you do. You have a talent that can not be taught but born with. Christian is affordable, talented and honestly feels like you have known him forever. He makes you feel so comfortable at all times. I got married on 12.3.21 and I had found Christian through a family member. I reached out through his website and he was very prompt to respond. He offered different packages which I liked because I found out very quickly most photographers have one price with a minimum and lot of added fees. We hired Christian right away. We had our first phone interview/meeting and he was so friendly and outgoing. We talked about family, friends, wedding and Harry Potter! He made us feel so relaxed about the whole thing and we were up in the air about start time and where. We were stressed but he was a go with the flow guy and he would make whatever we decided work. When we got off the phone, my husband and I said to ourselves wow he's great and so nice, we want to be friends with him in real life. Haha. Our wedding day is here and Christian came right on time ready to go. Start taking getting ready pictures right away and had so many ideas. Next was the first look.....omg Christian, the pictures you captured were AMAZING, I wish I had a better word...the emotion, nervousness and laughter you captured was unreal. He had idea after idea after idea to capture one of a kind pictures. Unique pictures and ones you don't see very often. He brought us all over that venue snapping away. Christian was also very calming and made me feel at ease during times that felt stressful. He would tell me to take a deep breath and just take a moment. I mean what photographer does that!? He wanted us to be in the moment and enjoy every second of our special day. He even ended up staying late to make sure he got the night time photos of us in front of the venue! He was perfect in every way. Fast forward 2 months and there is the email with all of our photos. Christian, we are so pleased, excited and happy of all the photos you captured for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a gem and extremely talented ❤️
Christian was incredible and so thorough! He photographed our ceremony and reception events - 8 months apart! When we made the difficult decision to postpone our reception due to the pandemic, he was so flexible and worked with us to make both events feel really special. He always was friendly and respectful of our guests' desire for distance while still capturing beautiful candid and posed photos. He found ways to capture my husband and I just being ourselves. We have so many gorgeous moments photographed from our ceremony and can't wait to see our reception shots. Thank you, Christian!! <3
Highly, highly recommend!! My husband and I met Christian and Heather last year after doing some research on photographers that had shot at our venue. They both are so fun and laid back, which was great for our personalities! We got married this October, which was a bit different than what we originally planned to say the least, and have another party planned for 2021. Christian was so helpful and accommodating in helping us re-plan this year's wedding and next year's party. When our wedding day came around this year Christian was so fun to work with and helped us calm some of our nerves! The photos came out so amazing. We are absolutely in love with them. Right now we can't seem to pick just one for our holiday card. We can't wait to work with him again in the future!!
Christian was the very first person I contacted for our wedding in October. I knew from seeing his work that we had to hire him for our wedding. He takes incredible artistic photos and is such a down to earth guy! He made us breathe and relax the day of the wedding which was super helpful. He sends sneak peek photos one week after the wedding and they came out amazing! Definitely happy with having him as our photographer and cant wait to see the rest of the pics!
We are so happy we had the chance to work with Christian on our wedding day! We had to change our wedding plans due to COVID and Christian helped us capture the small backyard wedding of our dreams at a very reasonable price! We love his style and his down-to-earth attitude. We would highly recommend him!
My husband and I got married last year and have zero regrets in hiring Christian as our photographer. He and Heather did a fantastic job making everyone feel comfortable throughout the course of the day and evening. Christian took the time to speak to us multiple times prior to the wedding day to ensure they knew exactly the style we were looking for. My family is big on posed photos while my husband and I prefer in-the-moment shots, and they did a great job of capturing both.
I hired Christian after seeing reviews of the quality of his work, his creative insight and the beautiful photos on his website and Instagram page. I only wish I'd known back then that I wouldn't be getting the same effort and attention to detail on my wedding day that he'd put in with his other clients on theirs. His offer wasn't my lowest bid here - but I definitely liked his style, what he offered in his package and the fact that he was what I'd deemed a "big city" photographer as he was from Boston. A down payment was made when my husband, mother and I met him and his girlfriend, Heather, for coffee. I was very pleased with how it went but from there - got very little interaction with him unless I reached out first. I had asked him if he and Heather would follow my Pinterest board that I made that had all kinds of wonderful poses that I wanted him to incorporate during my wedding and he said they both would - though it took them months to finally do so. I had wanted to do engagement photos with my then-fiance so that he could get used to us having our pictures taken and reached out to Christian on social media and he was fairly quick to respond. We set a date and when the day came, we met - and things went really great. Christian would ask us to pose certain ways and gave us guidance without being pushy or overbearing. I left there with a great feeling great. About a week and a half later, I had the full gallery of our pictures and was thrilled with the results. Now looking back, I realized that he charged me $500 for these pictures when, in fact, his website states they are "complimentary". Rubbish... The big day came and he and Heather were suppose to arrive at our hotel at 11 am. They were (going on) twenty minutes late and when Christian entered our suite - he seemed rushed and aggravated. I was so overwhelmed after our wedding ceremony that I didn't even realize the lack of family portraits he took - which were a total of six...and there were only two taken with my parents and husband. From there we headed to another location to take pictures with just the wedding party (and he was late getting there as well) and he actually asked me quote "So, what were your thoughts about pictures here?" I'm sorry...but when a bride has spent months on planning and thousands of dollars on a photographer - it's not her JOB to give directions on her wedding day. While the photos of the guys are decent, the pose isn't varied at all but they're much more polished. He had me and my bridal party "fake laugh" and it shows in the quality which look more like outtakes than genuine smiles. Again, rubbish... When it was all said and done and I've finally had time to reflect on the entire day, I'd say I was left with a very lackluster gallery of pictures from the "best day ever". My heart is broken that I have zero pictures taken of my mother and I getting ready. I trusted someone to capture the biggest day of my life and I'm left so utterly disappointed. I am beside myself looking at the end results, and feel that none of what I so carefully planned was taken into account. Had I known what to expect, I would have worked photography direction into the day. I also understand that he likes taking pictures with a film camera - but for the sake of weddings and knowing exactly what you're capturing - use a digital camera and save yourself the trouble of delivering sloppy work. If you're considering hiring Christian...reconsider for the sake of your memories.
We are so happy we chose Christian as our photographer for our wedding day! Prior to our wedding, we met Christian and Heather to have them shoot our engagement photos. They were both so calm and professional, helping us with poses (things can get pretty awkward when you have to hold a kiss for 60 seconds), but making us feel so comfortable! We loved the look of his work, beautiful photos captured in a very natural way, no crazy colors during editing. The day of the wedding, Christian wasn't only my photographer, but also my therapist and co-bridesmaid :) He kept reminding me to breathe and would let me take a few seconds when needed. He was also constantly holding and fixing my dress! He also delivered sneak peek photos 1 week after the wedding, which was awesome to share with family. We couldn't recommend them more for wedding photos and I'm glad we have continued to talk about how awesome they are, because he is now photographing our friend's wedding in September and we get to hangout with him again. YAY!
Absolutely amazing in every way. I’d highly recommend. He was punctual, prepared, and so accommodating. His photo partner is also fantastic! Christian did my engagement shoot, a friends wedding as well as my own and he was a huge hit! He somehow managed to make a great impression on my guests while remaining discrete for photos. I love the way he directs and love his creative angles and ideas. The photos came out better than I could have ever imagined!
Thank you so much for being the absolute perfect photographer for our wedding. You are so charismatic, so organized, punctual, and got all to photos we asked for and more. We are so happy you were our photographer for our wedding and would recommend you to anyone else looking for a photographer. You shot the formal photos, artistic photos, and classic photos we were looking for. You listened to us and catered to our requests. You even got some really cool shots after dark in front of the mansion. You made sure we were doing okay after all the photos because it was getting chilly. You are so kind and everyone loved working with you! Thank you so much Christian
As a wedding planner/coordinator, I worked with Christian for a wedding at the Commander's Mansion, Watertown this October. He was the perfect combination of professional and easy going - exactly what you'd want on your wedding day. He was attentive to the flow of the day and details, yet he captured everything in a really natural and seamless way. I was super impressed with how he collaborated with our videographer that was brought in at the last minute, showing both his experience and flexibility. Having worked with dozens of photographers, I can confidently say that Christian is up there with some of the best and I look forward to working with him again!
Christian and his girlfriend Heather are two of the most down to earth and friendly people who made everything that I used to worry about when getting my photos taken disappear. My fiancé and I feel awkward around cameras, but these two made it incredibly easy. Not only was working with them an absolute delight, but the photos we’ve gotten back are stunning. We have only had our engagement shoot done so far, but with what we’ve seen, we are beyond excited to see what they can do at the wedding.
Christian, thank you so much for everything! We are thrilled to have you booked for our wedding and absolutely can’t wait! You’re the best!!!
Christian and Heather did a wonderful job capturing our summer NH wedding. They did everything we asked and more, and our entire group of friends and family have absolutely loved all their beautiful photographs of our wedding day.
Christian took our engagements pictures and they turned out AMAZING! We only booked him for an hour but we got amazing pictures from various parts of Boston. We chose him for his personality (which you get from reading his website & via emails), his skill in capturing the light (seriously love all the pics), and his care in his clients. We truly appreciate talking to him before the session to plan everything and even after the photo shoot he was really easy to contact. He's a fantastic photographer and a absolutely stellar person.
Highly recommend! Christian and his partner were timely, attentive, fun, and so creative shooting our wedding. He answered all my questions leading up to the big day and so clearly has a passion for what he does. His passion is evidenced by the AMAZING photos he just delivered. He captured every moment we hoped to have captured and so many more. You can’t go wrong hiring Christian to photograph your big day!!!
Christian is outstanding- we had two photographers the day of our wedding and they worked so well together. He had such great vision and creative experience; he made sure to capture the special candids with such a keen eye. The photos are just incredible!
We had the best experience with Christian and Heather! It was super important to my fiance that we find a photographer who shoots both digital and film; this is a hard combination to find in a wedding photographer for a reasonable price, but we both feel like we got the best of everything with Christian. We had so much fun at our engagement shoot and the pictures were gorgeous. We haven't gotten back our entire wedding gallery yet but we love the ones we have so far! So many of our wedding guests commented on how professional our photographers were. Also, I was anxious because everyone had warned me that the bride and groom usually spend way too long taking pictures and miss out on the party, but that wasn't the case; Christian and Heather completed our entire shot list quickly and then took tons of candids. We're honestly a little sad that our wedding is over and we don't have an excuse to see Christian and Heather!
We truly could not rave about Christian and his photography skills enough. From our engagement photos all the way through our wedding day, he and Heather were a dream to work with and make the planning process that much more fun. We were blown away by our engagement photos and his creativity and ability to make the whole day so easy and exciting. They were both so detail oriented, always answering emails right away and making sure all our questions were answered! The wedding day itself was a dream and they made sure everything ran SO smoothly and even in the midst of chaos made sure to keep everyone calm, laughing and on schedule, and made sure every shot we wanted was done perfectly. They made sure the day was perfectly centered around exactly what my husband and I were looking for, and he was even kind enough to remind us to go outside and have a moment to ourselves as newlywed’s and soak up the moment. We couldn’t not recommend Christian enough and we were SO lucky to have them be available to capture the most amazing day of our lives and celebrate with us so we can relive it forever. If you are getting married, look NO further. Thank you so much Christian & Heather!!
Christian was AMAZING as our photographer for our wedding! He made sure we got every shot we wanted plus a TON of candids which is exactly what we were looking for.
He made us very comfortable even though we can sometimes be pretty awkward people, and the shots he got are just stunning. Even in the rain!
I definitely recommend Christian for you photography. Would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Christian is the best! My fiancé and I have already had our engagement pictures done and they came out better than we had hoped. Christian was so helpful with positioning us for great photos and he is so easy to work with. Our wedding is coming up in a little over 3 months and we can’t wait to work with him on our big day! Christian is very organized and so helpful.
Christian really is the best there is! Super friendly and knows what he is doing. If you want a great photographer on your wedding day, Christian is the person you need to hire.
