Christopher Belli Photography

Chris and Franz did a fantastic job documenting our wedding. They were efficient and helpful in guiding all of the people necessary to be where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. Highly recommend Christopher Belli Photography for your wedding.

If you are looking for the BEST OF THE BEST then look no further! My husband and I hired Christopher Belli unexpectedly. We were not happy with our professional photographer from our engagement pictures and contacted him based on our venue's Preferred Vendor List. That ended up being one of the absolute best decisions for our entire wedding. We could tell from the initial start in conversations with Chris that he loves what he does and it meant a lot to him to have everything perfect. He was extremely organized and didn't miss reviewing all the details beforehand, so he knew exactly what to shoot on our wedding day. Anthony & I were blown away by the stunning pictures and attention to detail. Chris and his assistant, Autumn, captured every special moment of our big day and we received such a variety of formal, candid, emotional, and artistic shots. We truly have a treasure chest of memories to always share with each other and loved ones and it's all due to Chris & Autumn! Our guests could not stop raving about the quality of our photos. The turnaround time for our photos was super quick and we only waited 2.5 weeks for all of them, and a week for our sneak peeks. We cannot speak highly enough about Chris's professionalism, artistic skill, promptness, and phenomenal personality. Most importantly, Chris and Autumn were a blast to be around for an entire day and were truly personable and humorous; it was like spending the day with friends we knew forever. Bottomline is you won't be disappointed and should DEFINTELY hire Christopher Belli Photography!

Chris did such and amazing job with our wedding and engagement pictures. We will definitely be hiring him when we need a photographer in the future. He's super friendly and easy to feel comfortable around, which makes getting our pictures taken a lot easier.

We worked with Chris for our small, fairly informal wedding. We really appreciated Chris' professionalism and pointers about common pitfalls during the wedding planning stage and his help maintaining our schedule. Chris had a great eye for scenes for photographs, but allowed for our input and was very easy going as myself and my now wife are not the most serious people in the world. I feel that Chris did a nice job capturing who we are and truly seemed excited to be a part of our day. I have no plans of ever needing to hire a wedding photographer again, but would always recommend him to friends and family!

Chris was truly amazing! He photographed our wedding day in downtown Detroit. Chris was so professional but also a ton of fun! He made us all feel so comfortable and confident throughout the picture taking process. He really worked his way around the reception capturing moments we will remember forever! We recommend Chris for any event, he was spectacular!!

We had the pleasure of working with Chris for our engagement photos, and Chris and Jim for our wedding day. Chris is organized, detail oriented, professional, and follows through on everything he says he will do. His expertise and the way he conducts himself makes a very important day that much less stressful. The photos were amazing, the turn around was quicker than promised. Out of every single vendor we worked with Chris was head and shoulders above the rest. He truly understands his craft and I would feel confident recommending him to anyone looking for photography needs.

Wow! Is the best way that I can describe Chris’s work, to all future brides & grooms I can tell you stop looking further Chris is your guy! We were one of many lucky COVID couples and Chris made the change of dates simple, he was understanding, cooperative, and most importantly supportive especially with me being 1.5 hrs away from home at Clinicals he just made it work no matter what he adjusted to get that call in, reply to the email, or text! Thank you! Chris listened to every one of our wishes and made it happen we didn’t have the typical wedding we had a very traditional wedding and you could tell he did his homework to make sure that he was there and with us for every moment that should have been captured. I told Chris it was important to us to show our whole wedding as a story to our family in Poland who couldn’t be with us and he made sure to capture everything so our story wasn’t missing any piece or part and for that I cannot give him enough credit and thanks! Thank you is not enough Chris we appreciate you and your hard work!

Christopher was absolutely amazing to work with. He perfectly captured the beautiful emotions of the day. My daughter and son in law hired him for their wedding and the photos of the day are exquisite! He was unobtrusive yet seemed to capture every special moment. He was absolutely amazing to work with. He definitely goes the extra mile. My daughter lives out of state and they had phone and zoom meetings to go over details. He was accommodating to time zone differences and work schedules to communicate. I honestly would hire him again in a heartbeat! I can’t say enough phenomenal things about him and the service he provided our family on this very special day!

Chris and Jim were a fabulous team to capture our wedding! They got to know us as a couple and because of that, could tell exactly what we had hoped for out of our wedding and photos. Engagement session with Chris was included in our package and was just as great as our wedding day! Our engagement session vibes were very different from our wedding vibes (nature and outdoors vs. elegant and indoors) and Chris nailed both of them! Photo turnaround time was guaranteed in the contract to be a month, but was surprisingly earlier than that, which was great! Chris is very organized and detail-oriented and helpful with any questions I/we had. Very artistic eye and creative shots. So happy we booked with Chris!

Chris is an extremely talented, professional, and fun photographer to work with. He was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, he took the time to get to know us personally and understand what was important to us so that he could capture this during our engagement pictures and wedding day. He always stayed connected with us and was very easy to reach if we had additional questions. Our engagement and wedding pictures turned out amazing! He did an outstanding job at capturing all of the emotions and love throughout the day. Thank you so much Chris!

Hands down the best photographer ever! Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with, such an amazing, genuine, nice and helpful person. Our engagement session just felt like hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking photos while laughing with us. He got our engagement photos back to us so quickly it was amazing. He worked with us on our schedule for the wedding day and listened to the different photo ideas we had in mind. He made sure my dress, necklace, veil and hair looked perfect in every photo. The second photographer Jim was also amazing and it was a pleasure working with him on our wedding day as well. Chris made sure to capture all of the little moments the morning of the wedding such as all of the notes my husband left for me around my hotel room. He was very easy to work with, very friendly and professional. We decided to add on a private last dance only a couple months before the wedding and Chris was more than willing to stay to capture that private moment. We are so happy that he was willing to stay to capture that moment, the photos are amazing. Even though he was not familiar with the Brighton area he made sure to scope out different locations and talk with other photographers to make sure all of our photos were perfect. He also got our wedding photos back to us very quickly. We are so in love with our photos! All of our guests also said that he was a really great photographer and great person. They have all also said what an awesome job he did on our photos. Thank you for everything Chris, it was an absolute pleasure working with you!

Chris was amazing from the start! He is very organized and was so easy to communicate with! He truly cares about capturing every moment of the wedding and telling your story! He makes it so you have every photo you want and then some. He is up for any photo ideas and made every idea we had come to life! If you want a personalized amazing photographer who wants you to have the perfect day then you need Chris!

Selecting Chris to be our wedding photographer was the right decision for us. He came recommended from a close family friend and we were not disappointed. He was very professional, polite and patient with me with all my questions and lists. He was so friendly and fun to work with on the wedding day, and he captured all the pictures we wanted. He was organized and communicated well and clearly with us, before the wedding day, during the wedding day and even after with compiling our wedding album. We got our pictures in a timely manner and they all looked great. We would definitely recommend Chris to other couples looking for a wedding photographer.

Chris, I don't know where to start. You did an amazing job. From doing our engagement shoot during 20F weather to spring. You are so professional and was playful at the same time. We're glad we picked you. I still have to figure out how come you could see a strand of hair from afar. I am also glad you and Jim were part of our wedding. Chris, please expand your business to also do a family photoshoot. We would rehire you if ever you do it. I don't know what else to say-- just thank you so much for making our wedding extra memorable because of your shots

I am so glad I chose Christopher Belli Photography for my wedding! My middle-of-the-week, 5-hour wedding was daunting to a lot of the photographers that I approached. Christopher was the first and only photographer that was willing to work with my unusual timeline and the only one that gave me a reasonable quote for my shortened wedding. He made me feel confident that we could take all my photos in the time allotted and was super helpful getting me multiple quotes and answering a bunch of questions (my fault, not his). The day of he was professional, easy-going, enthusiastic, and gave just the right amount of direction. I can honestly say that working with Christopher was one of the best parts of our day. Our photos are better than we imagined. I would - and will - recommend Christopher Belli Photography to anyone needing professional photos!

My husband and I can’t even begin to describe just how amazing Chris is… He checks all the boxes and more!! Beginning with the planning stages, Chris was very helpful and communicative, keeping a consistent rapport over the 2+ year planning stages of our COVID-delayed wedding. He was flexible and provided great guidance in picking the perfect time for our fall engagement photo session, and our pictures turned out beautifully! When planning for our wedding day, Chris helped me build an efficient and manageable day-of schedule and took special care to discuss and note my “must-have” photo list. Chris’ attention to detail and communication kept me at ease leading up to our wedding date because I knew photography was going to be the least of my worries. Come my wedding day, my confidence was well-placed! Chris came in came with a calm energy and captured so many beautiful shots of my bridesmaids, moms, flower girl, and I. Across town, Jim got great shots of my husband and his groomsmen as they prepared for the day as well. Throughout the day they both mastered the ability to be in all the right spots for capturing both planned and candid moments. They also managed to keep our families and friends orderly and running on schedule as we did post-ceremony pictures. We felt like Chris was genuinely excited to be there and were so happy that he and Jim were able to capture our special day so beautifully. We are amazed at the quality of work and have received so many compliments on our photos from others as well! We wholeheartedly recommend every bride and groom use Chris Belli Photography and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Chris!!

As MOB, I would HIGHLY recommend Christopher Belli Photography! From the initial call that I made to Chris to help my daughter plan her wedding, to the engagement photos, the timeline and planning he did with my daughter and her fiancé, to the actual wedding day...Chris was easy to work with, professional, thorough, and even so kind as we navigated through the pandemic and rescheduled the wedding! The day of the wedding, he was so easy-going and flexible. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail that he and Jim gave to each and every photo! From making sure the bouquets were all being held the same way, and noticing a fly-away hair or sun in the eyes, to fluffing the train...Chris was amazing! And then, once I saw the photos, WOW! Chris and Jim truly captured every detail of the day with such artistry! Photographing the details of the wedding dress, the tuxes and accessories, the flowers, the venue etc etc...the clarity and beauty during the wedding ceremony and the symmetry of the group and family photos...capturing the love and joy of the day and how much fun everyone was having...they did a fabulous job! Thank you for helping to make my daughter’s wedding so special and for giving Jen & Jay, and our family, photos we will treasure for a lifetime!

Creative, professional, amazing.-the best way to describe our experience with Christopher Belli. Chris came highly recommended by our wedding planner, and we now understand why. Our special day was captured perfectly, every memory beautifully displayed for years to come. We are so incredibly grateful for the love Chris put into making our day special and the thoughtfulness he put into every photo. Someday, when we have children, we will be so proud to share these wedding photos and reminisce about our perfect day.

Words cannot describe how amazing Chris was. Every photo he took was pure magic. So genuine and natural. He was a dream to work with. Before the wedding, Chris and I had a meeting to discuss the details. He is extremely thorough. During my wedding day, he made sure my necklace was straightened out, my hair was in place, and directed everyone for how they should pose. He also took many natural photos of me laughing, being myself. My wedding was mixed, half Jordanian and half American. He captured the entire day so perfectly. I cried when I saw my photos. I would highly highly recommend Chris! Not only is he a pleasure to work with, but my photos came out so beautiful, better than I could have ever imagined. I will treasure them for the rest of my life.

My husband and I were so blessed to have an awesome photographer that captured every, single detail from our vow renewal and wedding reception last month (June 2021). Christopher Belli captured our big day in such a beautiful way. We can’t thank him enough for all of his support and professionalism as we prepared, rescheduled, and, finally, celebrated our wedding, as we had originally planned. We will cherish these photos forever, and every time we look at them and share them with our family and loved ones, we will remember all the feelings, memories, and experiences from this very, special day! :) After this past year and a half of not knowing what was going to happen and having to post-pone our wedding celebration with family and friends (due to COVID), we were so thankful to be able to finally enjoy our big day, the way we had envisioned it. We truly appreciate Chris and all that he had done for us throughout this whole process. Thank you, again, for telling the story of our wedding day with single picture you took, Chris! We will look all of our photos and enjoy them for years to come. If you are looking for an awesome photographer to capture every moment and detail of your wedding and reception, Christopher Belli Photography is the way to go. We definitely go with him again for any photo sessions in the future. Thank you again, Chris! :)

Chris and Jim were completely outstanding for our wedding. Their artistic lens and attention to detail were on point without being overbearing or stressful. Chris also worked solo on our engagement photos and we love them. He clearly and concisely communicated everything throughout the process before, during, and after the job. Chris and Jim were both professional, polite, punctual, and personable. I cannot recommend Christopher Belli Photography enough. Beyond gorgeous photos, they are splendid individuals to work with in every way. Simply a delight. 10/10 would recommend.

In a word: Wow. My husband and I got married on 10/10/2020 and from the first meeting all the way until afterwards Chris has been incredible. He worked with us during our struggles in the beginning stages of wedding planning and even more so through the stressful unknowns of COVID. Chris was relaxed and flexible with us as we changed venues to a more intimate setting as well as guiding us during our photos to make sure they looked their best. Even one of my bridesmaids commented how he found a PERFECT spot for my husband and I's photos that she never would have thought to use. He does the research and goes the extra mile. He's a true professional and I would HIGHLY encourage those of you looking for wedding photography to book Christopher Belli.

We cannot thank Chris enough for the wonderful job he did for our wedding during Covid. He made our day so magical and our pictures are perfect. He was so much fun to work with as well. We will use Chris in the future for all of our photography needs.

Chris has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I had met Chris prior to getting engaged due to a prior event four years ago and when I got engaged last year, he was the one vendor I absolutely had to rebook because he left an amazing impression the last time I had worked with him. He is personable, loves (and is great at) what he does and shows a genuine interest in your needs/wants for your wedding day. He has by far been my favorite vendor to work with, he makes sure to respond to all when we have e-mail correspondence so I wasn't constantly forwarding e-mails on to my finance like I had to do for other vendors. He was always prompt at responding to e-mails and was more than willing to work with us on any requests we had. We first met with Chris for our engagement shoot and had so much fun working with him at the park he had suggested. Given Covid-19, he was respectful about keeping distance/wearing a mask where necessary and we even had some fun with some mask shots. Chris certainly has an eye for the little details and would make sure I swiped away any hairs in my face or adjusted a necklace prior to taking photos, he even would help us with where to place our hands or how best to sit for a certain photo. The turnaround time for our engagement pictures was crazy fast and we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of our pictures. As the wedding day approached, Chris made sure to set up a call to plan out our day and ensure any picture requests that we might have were written down. We had a live document leading up to the wedding day of any pictures we may want along with a list of all formal shots needed. On the day of the wedding, Chris and his partner for the day, Jim, showed up early and got to work taking pictures and staging photos. He kept us on track and on time the entire day and came prepared with a list of all formal shots we had requested. They were also quick to pivot at any last-minute requests we had. Chris also made sure to get an amazing night shot right before they headed out for the night. Following the wedding Chris kept us updated with timing of photos and what to expect. Even with the wedding, he blew us away with how quickly he provided us the wedding photos and each and every one was absolutely stunning. For this particular event we did not choose to purchase a photo book as it wasn’t in our budget; however, for the last event I did have Chris complete a photo album and the process was super smooth – Chris would draft the initial copy of the book and then I would be able to add comments/notes about possible changes I would like to see. There would be a couple iterations of this process and the end result was absolutely beautiful. If it’s in your budget, I’d highly recommend having Chris creating a photo album for you as well. I can’t say enough good things about Chris – I would continue to hire him again and again if I could. If you’re looking for someone who is going to produce amazing memories of this wonderful time in your life and make sure you have a fun time while doing it, I would definitely recommend you hire Christopher Belli Photography.

It was so great to work with Chris! I recommend him to all of my friends getting married. Not only was he easy to communicate with, but it felt very natural to work with him on our wedding day. He made sure that everything went smoothly and that we were comfortable the entire time. 10/10!

I can’t say enough good things about Chris and his team! Leading up to the wedding, Chris was very organized. He inquired about what we wanted to capture instead of making assumptions, which we appreciated. He helped put together a timeline which was helpful. What I appreciated most about Chris was his calm demeanor, yet effective, during the planning process and especially the day of the wedding. As a bride, he put me at ease on one of the most stressful days of my life! Everyone in the wedding party loved him, even my parents who are difficult to please ha. The icing on the cake is his work is beautiful!

Christopher was great! He was very kind, professional and patient during the entire event and worked great with our vendors and guests. Our photos came out beautiful and we would highly recommend him.

Chris and his team were amazing to work with! They listened to what we really wanted, and somehow knew what we wanted even if we didn't know how to say exactly what that was. Chris promptly returned all our calls and emails. He spent as much time with us as we needed, and it never felt rushed. The day of, he kept us on track. Due to snow fall, our outdoor pictures were scraped from the plan, but he made it work with mostly indoor photos and kept them interesting and different. This gave us many choices to choose from. After the wedding, our photos were ready for review by the time we were back from our honeymoon. All the pictures were amazing. They captured our day perfectly. I would highly recommend Chris and his team! Thank you again for your amazing work and kindness during this time!

What I appreciated most about Christopher was how he made me look like myself on my big day- but the best version of myself. I feel like he captured my true essence, the way my husband sees me. He was so thoughtful throughout. The most amazing pictures came from him crouching behind a bush. He is really paying attention to every part of the environment to get your best shot possible. I would highly recommend him!

Chris was amazing. He was prompt and professional, finishing our photos shortly after our wedding. His creative focus really captured the special moments. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Chris is hands down the best to work with! We could not be happier with our wedding photos. I would highly recommend hiring him as your wedding photographer. He has a fun and friendly personality, while also being professional. He has a great eye for what makes a great photo and always gets the important shots. Thank you so much, Chris, for helping us capture these beautiful memories of our magical day!

We really loved working with Chris. From the first meeting, he was totally prepared and professional, and we were so impressed with the pictures he showed us. He is also so personable and likeable. He was communicative throughout the whole process and was timely in answering all of our questions. On the wedding day, he did a wonderful job of guiding us through the whole day and kept everything flowing and on schedule. We gave him a list of pictures that we wanted and he accommodated all of our requests. Our family really loved him too. He is very creative and knew what settings at the venue would be the most beautiful for our pictures. We just got our wedding pictures back today and they are beautiful. We are totally thrilled. I would give Chris the highest recommendation. He is a pleasure to work with!

We were very happy with Chris at all stages -- from the planning to the wedding day to the wonderful photos we received. Of all our vendors, he was always the quickest to get back to us by e-mail and we were never stressed in any way about the photos. The day of, he was wonderful to work with, and my husband and I felt so relaxed and at ease taking photos with Chris (even though we now live in a different state and were not able to take engagement photos first). We never felt posed or fake, and our genuine happiness definitely shows up in the photos -- which are great! Chris was prepared yet also quick to come up with spur-of-the-moment ideas. We couldn't have been happier and definitely recommend him. One more thing I have to mention that might seem small to some people but was major to us: Chris was the only one of our vendors who consistently used "reply all" in sending and responding to e-mails, addressing them and sending them to both my fiancé and me every time. This made a huge difference both in ease of planning (my now-husband had to forward a lot of e-mails to me from other professionals who repeatedly dropped me out of the thread even though we were both equally planning the wedding) and in terms of simple respect of my husband and me as equals and as a team (both in marriage and in planning the wedding). I realize that the other vendors were not consciously trying to slight me, so this is not a knock against them, but I very much appreciated that Chris never once did this! Especially since the photographer winds up being the first person to actually refer to you as husband and wife outside of the ceremony, it's so nice for it to be someone who takes care to be respectful.

Chris was the first photographer I met with, and from the minute I met him, I knew I was done looking! I have only seen the sneak peek photos from our day, but even those have blown me out of the water! He is so kind and friendly, and makes you comfortable in front of the camera! We couldn’t have asked for a better for a photographer. Even my bridesmaids kept commenting on how great he was! I would HIGHLY recommend! :)

If I could give more stars I would. This was THE BEST money spent for our wedding. You will not be disappointed! Chris knows what he's doing and has a great personality to make it a win-win. I had numerous comments from guests about his professionalism and charm. Thank you Chris, the visual memories you gifted us are amazing!

Chris is the best!! We had our wedding in August and first contacted Chris the November before. We met with a couple of people, but knew when we met Chris that he was the one! haha. Chris is detailed oriented, responsive and personable. He does amazing work. His pictures speak for themselves, but he is also so friendly and comfortable to be around which is exactly what you want for yourselves and your friends and family! Neither my husband nor myself have ever been photographed before and Chris made it easy and fun for us. We did our engagement session a couple of months before the wedding which really helped to prepare us for photographing on the day of the wedding. Chris was also so knowledgeable about weddings and our venue in general. He went over our timeline with us and really made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. Hands down Chris was our favorite person we worked with that whole year! Look no further this is the photographer you want to work with leading up to your wedding day and especially on your wedding day. Thank you so much Chris! -Kaitlyn & Geoff

Christopher was amazing to work with. His approach is to capture the emotion and personality of the people involved and he really succeeded at that. We had complete trust in him, we knew that he would deliver what was promised, but he exceeded our expectations. He is a true gentleman, great to work with, and produced fantastic work! We highly recommend him

Chris is an amazing person and it was our pleasure to work with him! He made our dreams come true and played a major role in making our day perfect! We feel so lucky to have found such a professional and thoughtful photographer for our wedding. Chris was so helpful every step of the way, answering questions and offering valuable insight. He was always available to talk and was efficient in his responses. Chris was so honest and easy to talk to from the moment we met him...I truly trust him. We were able to get comfortable during an engagement session and he made us feel even more sure of our choice in him. Our planning phone call was so detailed and thorough, he truly took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. The day of my wedding, he was working so hard to make everything perfect...and he did! His second photographer, Jim, was outstanding too. Jim's photography skills and fun personality were enjoyed by all. I am so impressed by Chris, his dedication and beautiful work...I was blown away and teary-eyed when the photos came back after the wedding! He did an amazing job with the editing and the timely return of all of our photos. Planning a wedding and working with vendors can be a stressful process but Chris reassured us through it all and we always knew we were in good hands. Chris truly went above and beyond to make our wedding experience exceptional. We are forever grateful!

Christopher did an amazing job with our wedding pictures! We had over 800 pictures and they were all amazing. He came early while we were getting ready and stayed late to make sure he got pictures of the reception (people dancing) The album we ordered from him was very easy to edit online and he is very responsive with any questions. The album itself is beautiful and the pages are very durable and seems like they will hold up for a very long time.

We couldn't ask for anything better and we have every picture we hoped for from our wedding day! It was wonderful working with Christopher Belli and we highly recommend him! He is very professional and prepared. Thank you for the beautiful photographs that captured the best day of our lives perfectly!

Words cannot express how beautiful and amazing my wedding photos came out. Christopher understood my husband and mine's vision for our pictures. Christopher made sure he knew the timeline of the wedding and knew everyone's name. He also had locations picked out prior to the wedding day for pictures. He called me a few days in advance to let me know it might rain on my wedding day and that he had at least three backup plans. This was amazing because I did not have to worry about finding new locations for pictures. I would highly recommend Christopher to anyone who is getting married.

Christopher was fantastic from start to finish. From the engagement session to the wedding day preparations, to the wedding day itself, he was everything we had hoped for. Both Amber and I felt comfortable with him doing our photography and his work is amazing. Any review below 5/5 stars must be untrue. What a pleasure to work with him and if only he would do other photography sessions for first child, and other events.....we would definitely be the first ones to sign up. Thanks Chris!

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Christopher Belli was truly amazing to work with! He was very punctual, professional, friendly, and understanding. His personality made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Most of all, he captured everything we wanted in our engagement and wedding photos! With wedding planning and working with multiple vendors, I never had to follow up with him since his turnaround time was incredible! Chris has the biggest heart and we felt so honored to work with him. Our photos are so special and we will cherish them for a lifetime! I highly recommend him to everyone! He really is the best!!!

I can’t say enough great things about Christopher Belli Photography! He and his team really know how to make you feel relaxed and getting the best photo. You can tell that they really want to make sure you’re happy with the final product and they have a good time with the party as well.

My daughter and her fiancé chose Chris after we saw his wedding pictures online, and we were so glad they did. Not only were we very happy with his wedding pictures but we also really enjoyed working with him. From the beginning, he was excited, professional, detail-oriented, and interested in following exactly what the bride and groom wanted for their pictures. He was very responsive to our emails and very receptive to suggestions. He also had some wonderful ideas and suggestions that made the pictures of the bride and groom and the wedding party turn out fabulous. He was also very funny and put us all at ease for the pictures. He was quick on his feet and got some awesome candid shots too. He gave us plenty of information to help us choose which package we wanted and he was flexible about scheduling and package choices. I especially appreciated that I was able to switch out some of the pictures in the parents' wedding album so it was a little different from the bride and groom's wedding album. All in all, we had a wonderful time working with Chris and were so thankful that we chose him to capture the precious memories of my daughter and son-in-law's wedding day.

Chris was great to work with through the entire process and even worked in my last minute request to get a sparkler photo! We absolutely love our wedding photos and are so happy we chose Chris and his team.

We are so thrilled that we were able to work with Christopher Belli for our photography!! I remember calling Chris initially and he took the time to tell us about his business, how he works with couples throughout the process and the style of his photography. His work and portfolio speaks for itself – we were blown away by how beautiful and natural all of his pictures turn out! Chris immediately puts you at ease and wants to know all about your big day & how he can play a role in capturing it. He was even willing to freeze with us for our fun winter engagement shoot! He makes sure that all of the plans are set prior to the big day so that everything runs smooth. Chris & his co-photographer did an absolutely wonderful job capturing our wedding. It is a fun team to work with & you can tell that our whole wedding party agrees. All of the pictures turned out so well and we will cherish them forever!! Chris is so accommodating and does a wonderful job designing the perfect wedding album. We love his attention to detail & how organized he is. We are so happy that we have such a beautiful family heirloom to remember that special day! Our best advice is to book Chris as early as possible :)

We found Christopher Belli Photography when browsing the knot. I fell in love with his artistic eye as I scrolled through his galleries. From our initial consultation, all the way to our wedding day, Chris was just INCREDIBLE to work with. He always responded in a timely manner, and kept us in the loop of any changes that may occur. Any hesitations or concerns that we had, he ensured us that all would be okay and walked me through the possibilities to ensure that I would be happy on my wedding day. (We definitely were!!) He always made it easy to schedule meetings, and was always very flexible. Chris made us feel like we were his only clients! Due to our circumstances, we did our engagement photo’s only weeks ahead of our actual wedding date, and he turned them around and got them to us before we even requested! They were just amazing. As you see in his galleries, he has an eye for artistic photography but his personality is just as wonderful. On the day of our wedding, he worked with our large wedding party, the 7 children we had in our party (all under 6!). Chris had a wonderful team member, Jim, that worked with him and he was loved by all of our wedding party as well. I assumed we would have to wait months for our photos, and we got them within a few weeks! We were shocked (although a perk of a off season wedding  ). I think the most challenging part of a wedding is to go with the flow, as things can change. Chris was fantastic because of that!!! He helped us create a timeline- in which we based our whole day off of basically. He also ensured us that all is good with if we for some reason had to astray from it. He was personable, patient, and easy-going. His work is just beautiful!! I couldn’t say nicer things about our overall experience, down to every little detail. I would highly recommend Christopher Belli for your engagement photos and wedding!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We couldn't be any happier with the picture of our wedding day. You were an absolute professional and so very organized whileassuring all basis were covered prior to our wedding day. You didn't miss a beat throughout the entire day. Your work is beautiful and captured every special moment. Thank you so much for being a pleasure to work with and for creating our memories of a lifetime. Lisa and Frank

Very professional, he was amazing to work with! Best photographer hands down

Our experience working with Chris was beyond excellent every step of the way. It was clear from our first meeting that Chris was professional, creative, and passionate about his work. Chris and his assistant photographer, Jim, made sure our wedding day was efficient and stress-free. We received our wedding photos in less than three weeks and they are absolutely stunning. Family, coworkers, and friends have all remarked at the magazine quality of Chris' wonderful photos! We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for superior wedding photography and excellent customer service.

Chris and Jim were fantastic to have as wedding photographers. Chris was thoroughly professional during our initial planning conversations. He made the process of co-ordinating for an out of state wedding very smooth. Chris also worked in exactly what kind of pictures we wanted and guided us (we've never done this before !) on how the wedding day schedule for snaps would run. Jim was with the groomsmen and all of them were thrilled with his pictures. My husband thought he had some very good ideas for the picture poses. Chris worked with the bridesmaids and came up with creative solutions for picture ideas ! They were great about incorporating last minute changes to pictures and kept us on schedule during the night. It was great to have two professionals that were calm and made us feel comfortable !

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and we owe that to the work of our awesome vendors. Chris added to our big day and helped with things moving along smoothly and on schedule. From our first meeting with Chris we knew that we had to have him as our photographer! He was professional, funny, and easy to communicate with. Chris took our suggestions into account and also provided us with great ideas and guidance throughout the whole process. We had a great time working with him on our big day and love the work he did! Our wedding photos were completed within a month and we have been loving sharing them with our family and friends. I would highly recommend Chris and his work!

Chris was amazing! I can't express Enough how impressed I am from the entire service experience. I stumbled upon him through seeing someone else's photos, in a desperate search for an excellent wedding photographer. Excellent is exactly what I found in Chris! From the consultation to the wedding day, and of course the viewing of our photos. They are EXACTLY what I hoped for if not better. I will never go to anyone else.

I have so many wonderful things to say about Chris and his talent! His photography is so beautiful and creative, and my husband and I were very happy with all of our pictures. He did such an amazing job capturing our special day. Leading up to our wedding, he was very easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Chris didn't miss a detail! To top it off, he is very personable, fun, and a joy to spend time with. Thank you so much Chris, we will cherish them forever! If you want a professional that has an eye for unique beautiful photographs then look no further - he is your photographer!

Hi guys! If anyone is looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Chris Belli!! He's a great photographer and guy! Gives great customer service (always makes sure the client is happy and responds to calls and emails in a timely manner). My husband said "the only good thing about planning this wedding was meeting Chris Belli!!!" If you book with Chris, you won't regret it!

Chris did a fabulous job as our photographer. I knew immediately after our initial phone conversation that he was the one for the job. I was even more convinced after meeting him in person and seeing samples of his wedding albums. He put me at ease immediately with all of my concerns and questions. I loved his personality and sense of artistic expression. We love our wedding photos. He really captured the essence of our personalities and the special elements of our wedding day. Chris was amazing at putting us at ease as well as keeping it light and fun while capturing the most intimate moments of our day together. Chris is genuine, creative, respectful, kind and enjoyable to work with. He kept our day on schedule while making it fun for everyone involved. Chris is competent and efficient as well as artistic and creative.

Wedding photos are the most important thing you can spend your money on and Chris is worth every penny. We had a great experience with him from start to finish. Our engagement photos turned out amazing so I knew our wedding photos would be great as well. He made us laugh and feel comfortable, he's a very personable guy. You are spending the entire day with not only your future husband but your photographer as well, you want to like the guy! I would recommend Chris to any bride.

Chris was a huge contributor to the success of our wedding. We both felt that he was able to extract the very best from us in each photograph and we couldn't be more happy with the results. We quickly realized that Chris is a true artist at heart and he enjoys the challenge involved with wedding photography. He manages to balance his desire for perfection with keeping things on schedule and it was a joy to experience his passion as he worked with us. Chris is a professional and we plan to recommend his services to anyone that asks for wedding advice.

Chris did a FANTASTIC job as our photographer. Not only did he provide us with beautiful engagement and wedding photos, he also made the experience enjoyable for us! He is so personable and truly cares about his work. He is very talented and has a gift for what he does! My husband and I would highly recommend him to any future bride and groom!

By the time we were half way through our phone conversation, I knew Chris was going to be incredible. He had great photo ideas and kept us on track the entire time the day of. The best thing was his personality. He is genuine, kind, creative, respectful, and best of all funny! I don't think we stopped laughing the entire time. We got the pictures back supper fast and they look incredible! He got everything just right. Even the slightly awkward family photos. Definitely book him. You will not be disappointed.

Chris and Jennifer (his assistant, who worked with my husband and his groomsmen that day), were both amazing and upbeat, which is EXACTLY what every bride and groom need on their wedding day in June. Especially if it's the one day in June that is 50 degrees with 24 hours of rain and strong winds. Did I mention it was a completely outdoor wedding? Our wedding was a true testament to our vendors. We quickly got to see who was worth the money we were spending on their services. If anyone didn't bring their 'A-game' then our wedding might not have actually happened that day. Between our shuttle getting stuck in the mud, and delaying the ceremony, to the ground under the tent turning into a mud mosh pit, we put ALL of our faith in everyone to make it happen. The one vendor that stands out to me and my husband (and our families), was Christopher Belli Photography. They stayed late, due to the delay of the wedding and all the hiccups, without charging an extra cent, and even waited around longer (40 minutes after they were supposed to be gone) just to ask if there were any other pictures we wanted to get. Our venue was an old summer camp, and we were planning to do our ceremony, and ALL of our bridal party and formal pictures outside by the lake front. Due to mother nature, rearing her ugly face, we were unable to do any of that, but somehow our pictures turned out better than i anticipated when I thought the weather would be a typical day in June... you know, sunny. I was astonished at what Chris and Jennifer did with the little they had to work with. We have such a variety of beautifully, amazing and unique pictures, and I couldn't be more grateful that I decided to hire them!!! They are worth every single penny (and the prices are VERY reasonable in comparison to other photographers in the area - trust me, i did more research than I ever did for any school project... ever. Maybe even more than all the projects combined, too! I'm saving the best for last... Just before the sun, that never came out, was supposed to go down, by some heaven sent miracle, the clouds parted, and exposed one of the most - if not, the most - GORGEOUS sunsets I've ever seen, and i grew up in Michigan, so beautiful sunsets are a regular occurrence for me. Chris and Jennifer JUMPED at the opportunity to get those pictures. They somehow found us in the crowd of people and snapped some of the most amazing wedding photos i've ever seen. Honest to God, I'm not being biased. It was still windy as ever, and cold as could be, but that didn't stop Chris from laying in a puddle of water at the end of the doc in order to get certain angles of my husband and i gazing into the sunset. Now if that doesn't put your nerves to rest, i'm not sure what will. This is one vendor you will never have to worry about. He was beyond responsive (and immediately, at that), and he reached out to us when he needed info. We didn't have a wedding planner, and he even created a timeline for the entire day, which we then used for everyone and all vendors. He also, took the time to write down all of our extended family members names and make sure he knew who was who. Two words of advice for future brides and grooms: HIRE HIM! Thank you, Chris!!! I owe our wedding day success to you!

I first met Chris when I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding two years ago. I knew right away that this guy was awesome and to keep him in the back of my mind when the time came for my wedding. Chris was one of the first vendors I contacted soon after I became engaged. We even made our wedding date around his availability! We had chosen a wintery engagement session and even though it was freezing and snowing, Chris made it a lot of fun. He was even kneeling and laying down in the snow to get the best photos of us. Despite the frozen toes, we had a blast! The wedding planning process was very organized. Chris created a detailed timeline for our wedding day. It included all of the special photos we wanted and the names of each member of our bridal party and immediate family. Our bridal party was quite large, but Chris made sure he knew everyone's names! On the day of our wedding, Chris and Marek (his second photographer) made everything go smoothly. They were both professional, polite, patient, and caring. I may be biased, but our wedding photos are amazing. I have been told by friends, family, and coworkers that my husband and I "look like models" or "could be in a professional magazine". Chris and Marek captured every moment and emotion from our wedding day. It was like experiencing my wedding day all over again while viewing the pictures. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the experience and photography from Chris. I highly recommend him!

Christopher Belli Photography was a wonderful addition to our wedding day! Our package included an engagement session (which helped my husband and I get to know Chris), a second photographer on our wedding day (which allowed bridesmaids and groomsmen group shots to happen simultaneously), and eight hours of photography (which permitted plenty of time for getting ready, wedding, in between, reception, and sunset shots). Chris was an absolutely wonderful photographer. He is incredibly detail oriented and focused. He helped ensure the bridal party stayed on schedule throughout the day and always made sure we were exactly where we needed to be when we needed to be there. Not to mention, he was incredibly professional and easy to work with. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the quality, artfulness, quantity, and expedience of the photos we received. We would definitely recommend Christopher Belli Photography!

Chris did an amazing job with our wedding photos. We are so happy with how they turned out and loved working with Chris and his photography partner, Jim. They were both really fun and efficient! Our whole day was planned out ahead of time and we had no worries that we wouldn't get the photos we wanted. We even received the finished gallery 2 weeks ahead of the promised date! We would definitely recommend Christopher Belli Photography.

Christopher is the best photographer I will ever meet in my lifetime. I first meet him five years ago for my sister's wedding and he did an amazing job; I loved every photo he took of her. He made such an impression on me that he was my first phone call to plan my wedding. In fact I changed my wedding day just for him; he had to be my photographer. My engagement and wedding pictures are the most beautiful pictures I own. I cannot begin to say how professional Chris is with everyone; he remembered my key family members names' from my sister's wedding and he took the time to remember my husband's family members names' as well. He was always an email or phone call way, always responding with in 24 to 48 hours (you have to give him a break on the weekends). He even took the time on the day before my wedding to call to make sure I was alright and to reassure me that I was going to have a wonderful day and everything was going to be perfect. And he was right! Chris took beautiful shots of the entire wedding and honestly if there was anything I couldn't remember he magically has a picture of everything. Chris was by far the best person to work with on my wedding day. Of all the vendors we hired for the wedding, the hall, church, DJ, and cake, Chris was the most polite, professional, and caring. From the time I was engaged in December of 2013 till my wedding in August of 2015 I felt like I was his only client. Of the quality of the pictures is perfect. Every picture looks great and tells a story. My coworkers saw my engagement pictures and told me my photographer made us look alive and he did. Chris has different partners that he uses to help with wedding and his partner on my wedding was just as great as Chris and was easy to work with. Together they gave me every picture I wanted on my wedding day. Of the cost of Chris's services I feel they are worth every penny he is asking for. Some brides think they can go cheap on the photography but I disagree. Chris asked for more than my husband thought was within the budget but we agreed to, but after meeting Chris he said we couldn’t have anyone else. We decided to cut the budget in other places to make up the difference. Remember when looking for a photographer this is the person you are trusting to capture your special day because you will not remember all of it but you will have a picture of it if Chris is your photographer. Chris will be there to help you every step of the way with ordering photos and creating a photo album that is unique to you and your tastes. And the album will last you a lifetime, it turns out beautiful and unique to each couple. My advice is to make sure you call Chris right away because he will book quickly and if you want him you need to get a hold of him quickly.

We used Chris for our wedding in January 2014. From the very beginning, he was wonderful to work with--professional, friendly, had lots of great advice, flexible, etc. Chris was also a very good sport, as we had both our engagement photos and our wedding photos done in the middle of winter. Since we live out-of-state, Chris was very accommodating in scheduling both the taking of the engagement photos and the review; he was also very patient, as it took us forever to approve our wedding album (through no fault of his; we had a really hard time making decisions because there were just so many great photos). Both our engagement and wedding photos were fantastic. If I could frame every single one of them, I would. He captured the entire wedding day perfectly, and flipping through them is like reliving it all over again. (Side note: One of the reasons we chose Chris was because our wedding had lots of candlelight and was at night, and we knew from his sample shots that he did very well with that scenario. He absolutely proved us right. Those are some of the most interesting and unique shots.) I had the privilege of working with Chris again at my friend's wedding in July 2014. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Chris Belli was amazing to work with! He was flexible and easy to communicate with. Christopher Belli Photography (Chris and his second photographer) have an artistic approach to your pictures. They are thinking ahead to your wedding album when suggesting poses (who takes a picture of a wall? Someone thinking about meaningfull background images for an album), but also work with you, your location, and lighting (both natural and supplemental) to really capture beautiful images. The whole story of our day is documented now with high quality photographs. I feel like I'm reliving that day every time I look at our photos. To be honest, I was nervous due to the cost (I'm a buffet with paper plates kind of bride) not knowing if it would be worth it. Christopher Belli Photography SO MUCH exceeded my expectations. I will cherish these photos for years to come. Best vendor decision of my whole wedding! Highly recommended!
