Chris was absolutely amazing to work with. He was extremely flexible and caring, and extremely friendly to all guests and family. Our engagement photos came out beautiful, along with our wedding photos. We only booked for 1 photographer for the whole day, and Chris was a 10/10 the full day. He captured lots of special moments throughout the day, and payed special attention to the requested pictures. He’s great at direction if you’re not photogenic, and will never make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. He goes with your ideas and brings them to life, and captures the love of the moment.
Chris was amazing to work with. Neither my husband or I are big on posing for pictures and he made it a very relaxing and comfortable process. He posed us easily but also was great at getting the candids. We don’t have our wedding photos back yet (it’s only been 1 week so of course not!) but our engagement shoot one year ago was so perfectly edited and done so I know they will be perfect. We received many compliments from our guests about how on top of it he and Meg (videographer partner) were. He is professional and you can tell he knows what he is doing! The photo booth had an attendant that made it run smoothly and was a huge hit. Overall I think you can’t beat the professionalism, price, and quality.
Chris was excellent for our engagement session and for our wedding day! Our interaction with him was so easy and he understood what type of photos we wanted within the first few minutes of meeting. At our wedding, he had staff for the photo booth which was very helpful. He made sure we got every shot we wanted and knew that we wanted more focus on candid shots. He helped my bridesmaids put my veil in my hair and took my sneakers with him to have close by when taking photos so that I could change as soon as I was ready. He went above and beyond in helping to make our day smooth and special!
Any questions?
Our day was made the most magical event captured by Chris Marshall of Christopher Michael Images!! The weather was a blessing from the Lord above, a beautiful 83 degrees with the BIG beautiful puffy clouds, a good breeze, and all the family and friends! And then that sunflower field, and the skills of our photographers! We are anxiously awaiting our sneak peeks and the full set of photos from the most magical day of our lives!
Chris, you truly are an artist and the Miller's would recommend you and your team to ANYONE looking for a memory captured in time! You have a gift of letting people be themselves, but also capturing those moments that God just does a little thing...painting the sky, bringing love together! So blessed to have found you as our photographer!!! Cannot wait to see all the shots you all captured!
If you are looking into a photographer, you should definitely consider Chris! Prices were affordable and the pictures turned out amazing! While photos took a little long due to some unfortunate circumstances, Chris communicated with me and the photos were well worth the wait! He really captured the vibe of our Harry Potter wedding - very impressed with him. Also, my husband is not a huge fan of pictures, but Chris made it so relaxing and he was thankful for that!
Chris and Mike were beyond phenomenal. Saying they undercharge and overdeliver is honestly an understatement. They were so great to work with. They went above and beyond anything what we could have asked. They are funny, creative, and so kind. We haven’t gotten our pictures back yet, but we were lucky enough to see some of them the day of and we were so impressed. I researched a lot of photographers prior to hiring them and I didn’t come across another company that compared to their photos. I told them on our wedding day that I’m going to hire them for every life event in the future and I mean it. 10 out of 5 stars.
I can’t say enough amazing things about Mike and Chris. Not only our my wedding pictures perfect but these guys were absolutely the best on my wedding. My wedding day was chaotic and I can’t lie, working with these guys were mine and my husbands favorite part. We couldn’t have found anyone better. If you’re looking for a photographer, or even a videographer, these are your guys!!
Libby was beyond amazing! We are so happy with our wedding pictures. She worked so well with everyone on our wedding day and ran everything. She was there the entire day, from 10am-11pm. Look no further, if you are looking for a photographer. She will capture every moment of your big day. She is THE BEST in the business! We cant brag on her enough.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Mike and Chris did not skip a beat! They were there from prep to clean up for my New Years Eve Wedding. I had no idea what pictures I wanted and they had such great ideas and concepts. I have action shots throughout the entire process and facial reactions of the guest throughout my special day. I didn’t even have to make a song selection for my video and it was prefect. I swear they were inside my head. I am literally in love with both my pictures and my edited video! They are a MUST HAVE for your special day!
Choosing Mike as our wedding photographer was the BEST decision we made!! He worked incredibly hard to get the perfect shots and made it fun/stress free. Highly recommend!
Mike and Christopher were amazing. NOT ONLY WERE MY PICTURES AMAZING BUT THEY SAVED MY WEDDING DAY!!! my hairdresser bailed at the last minute and they sent out the bat signal. Within 10 minutes they had about 20 people willing to help!!! Now back to the pictures. I literally cried seeing them! They truly captured the very essence of our wedding! Since my wedding i have been to 2 other weddings and was pissed at how the photographer acted or they left super early. Mike and Chris do not do any of that. They laughed with us, the reassured us, they helped coordinate the day and THEY STAYED TILL THE LAST PERSON LEFT!
Amazing job and incredibly talented photographers! We couldn't have been happier with the professionalism, the fun, and how Christopher Marshall (one of the photographers) took special care of being everywhere for our wedding. We live in NYC and we really care about the artistic vision and talent when we were searching for a photographer, and we were not at all disappointed. It was an amazing experience and this company did an amazing job.
My one recommendation as a customer: Be patient. This company takes special care to make sure your photos are perfect, so please don't press them to send them as soon as possible. They're professionals and you will not be disappointed with their finished product.
Libby was amazing! We are SO happy with our wedding pictures and engagement pictures that Libby took for us. She was so accommodating on our wedding day. She showed up in the morning and didn't leave until after midnight and took hundreds of pictures to capture every moment of our big day. She is great at what she does! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding day, look no further! She is wonderful and so is her work!
Mike was amazing. He did our engagement photos as well as wedding photos. My entire bridal party loved his energy, he made them feel at ease and their personalities were never altered in front of the camera. His personality rang through the rest of my guests as well and I even had a ton of sorority sisters grab his card at the end of the night (y'all better book him for yours!!) Our nighttime photos certainly drew a crowd and I already have so many guests wanting to see them, but we know perfection takes time, so patiently we will wait for our pictures, but we loved every bit of what we saw day of! If you're looking for a photographer that keeps you at ease and your entire bridal party laughing all night long, book these guys TODAY!!! True perfection!
Chris was totally awesome. My husband and I are not photo people, so it was imperative we find a photographer that we could laugh with. From our first phone consult, I knew Chris was our guy. I loved the creativity of his photos that I saw online and his more 'documentary' like approach rather than posing for the photos. On the day of, he arrived on time and promptly started joking with me and my bridesmaids, putting us at ease while also taking awesome pictures. We are a silly bunch so he got some good ones of us laughing! I didn't have any specific posed photos in mind that I wanted, so Chris had free reign. He made it fun for us and intermixed posed and silly photos so we wouldn't get too overwhelmed. He was really laid back and easy to work with. I didn't feel pushed or rushed at all. I really liked that he showed us some of the pictures along the way. They were fantastic! Chris stayed all through the reception as well and captured the shenanigans happening on the dance floor. He didn't turn into a pumpkin at the end of 5 hours like some wedding photographers! I am so glad that we hired Chris, and I can't wait to see all the photos!
We worked with several photographers from this company for our engagement and wedding photos. Everyone was amazing and the photos are incredible. Libby worked with us for the day of and she did not stop snapping photos from the moment we started until the elevator doors closed on our send off. They let all our friends be as silly and they wanted and just worked with it. We had so much fun with them and will treasure our photos forever!!!!!
What is it they can’t do?! Mike, Chris, and Ashley make such a great team! Even though my day started off rough and everything wasn’t going right, photography & videography wasn’t one of them. They were so welcoming, funny, and fit right in. We enjoyed having them our entire day. They were willing to do whatever it was to make me happy and for things to go smoothly. They are like an all in one! Lol. They literally helped with whatever . They were steaming my dress, helped get decor together and they just went above and beyond they job ! I highly recommend them to anyone! We had awesome turnout and I wish I could do it all again. Thank you!
5 STAR RECOMMENDATION! Chris and Mike are SO FUN and the photographs are absolutely stunning. They did both my engagement shoot and my wedding photos and their quality is unmatched. From a personality standpoint the guys are so entertaining from beginning to end. It never felt uncomfotable to have them follow us around all day because it felt like they were personal guests hanging out morning to night. From a quality standpoint, they truly listened to my style and edited photos to my asthetic and made me want to show off my photos to everyone I met. From a contractual standpoint, they honestly price match in the area and were the best priced I found for the amount of work they did. There's no stringent timeline wedding day or location guidelines. They really worked for ME in MY plans instead on insisting on strict parameters. I cannot say enough that you should book Christopher Michael Images for any wedding (or other) need.
Edit: The only downfall is that I will not be receiving photos for more than 3 months after the wedding! Not even a few little preview snapshots. After the engagement session I harped on them for timely return of my photos and quickly got back several great preview shots to use for save-the-dates but it has been 2 1/2 months since my wedding date and I have not seen any photos or video of my big day. I know it takes some time but it is a little disappointing. It does say that the quality of work is excellent since they are so busy!
DADS MUST READ! Thank you Mike, Shawn and Graham. Do you want the best in the business? Do you want your princess & prince charming to have lasting memories? Do you want someone that has artistic vision, attention to detail and lots of flair? Do you want someone that has years of experience and top of the line equipment? Do you want someone that is personable, funny and down to earth? Again I ask, do you want the BEST? If so, call them right now! Old saying, you get what you pay for. True professionals in every sense of the word! AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS.
We absolutely loved Mike and Chris! They were a joy to work with! They spent entire day with us! I drug them from my hair salon to the venue and they didn't leave until the send off! They have the best attitude and are so funny which can be important with all of the stress of the wedding. They help ease the process not to mention they are creative geniuses! We were able to see previews the day of our wedding and they looked absolutely gorgeous! We were so glad we chose these two and you will be too!
We LOVED having Chris and Mike do our wedding pictures! They are so funny and any time I started to stress out about something they assured me it would be taken care of and put me at ease. Everyone loved them and I still get compliments of how great they were. They were so personable and the pictures turned out even better than I imagined! I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a great photography experience for their wedding!
Chris was FANTASTIC!! We loved working with him. He made sure to take all of the pictures I had wanted to take. He really helped make our wedding day perfect- everytime I took a picture he fixed my dress and made sure we were positioned correctly. We also had a large bridal party and he was very good and directing a rowdy group :) He interacted with our guests and everyone loved him! Look no further if you are looking for a photographer!
He did our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the Ashley Inn last fall and he is AH-MAZING. He was an honorary bridesmaid for sure. He bustled my dress when no one else knew how to, he helped the guys with their tuxes, he made me feel relaxed and completely at ease when everything around me couldn't have been more hectic. I could not imagine having hired anyone else that day. He definitely has the mindset of "it's the bride's day" and it shows. Awesome, awesome photographer.
Chris is awesome! I have received SO many compliments from our engagement and wedding photo's. And, he has a great personality. My wedding party really liked working with him. I wanted someone who was laid back, but would get the job done. I am so happy with my photo's AND the experience of working with Chris. I plan to use him for other sessions in the future.
We are so glad we chose Christopher Michael Images to capture our wedding day!! They were absolutely AMAZING!!!! From our engagement session till the end of the reception to receiving our photos, they were like our best friends. Everyone at the wedding and especially our wedding party could not say enough great things about Mike & Chris and how much fun they were to be around. They made sure to capture every moment and every shot that we requested. These guys are true pros and I would greatly recommend them to anyone considering a photographer & videographer for their wedding!! They were very affordable and were there for our wedding day from hair & makeup till the party ended :] We also had them do videography and cannot wait to see the finished product, but i know it is going to be nothing short of awesome!!
OMG!!! This guy is just FANTASTIC!!! He has shot now not just videos but a JAM PACKED day of photography at our facilities. The consumate professional with a discerning eye for artistic beauty! I had the pleasure of working side by side on a WARM afternoon which would usually kick a lot of people into low gear but NOT in this case! This was a day filled with dashing to get the "perfect shot" staying well beyond his appointed time I can not WAIT to see the end product! Ashley's video was lovely and I can't wait to see Natalie and Silas's photos from this past weekend!! What a professional!! Thank you for a fantastic Wedding Day photo shoot!!! I HIGHLY recommend this vendor for your wedding day!!
I researched tons of photographers to make sure that I would find the right one. It was very important for me to find photographers for the best deal but also that matches my personality and what I was looking for in the people that would take my most cherished pictures.
Chris and Mike made sure to take the time and meet with me and my fiancé whenever they where in town. They also have their own Pinterest and will even follow your wedding boards to find out more about what you are looking for in pictures.
Chris and Mike are super easy and comfortable to work with and yet at the same time very professional and will do everything they can to get the best picture. These guys really enjoy what they do and it shows when you are working with them and in their pictures, they really care about making sure you get the pictures you want and more!!!
Chris and Mike are absolutely fantastic photographers! We had so much fun with them and everyone at my wedding loved them! I still have people telling me how great they were. It was like we had known them forever. They fit right in!
I was a little nervous to have Chris do our wedding. For one he was a guy and two I had not seen much work from him before booking either. BUTTTT to my surprise he was AMAZING and so funny! The pictures turned out so good! If you need a photographer you will NOT go wrong choosing Christopher Michael Images! Love them!
Mike Cyrus is the best that I have ever seen. He does a lot of different things that you wouldn't think of. He goes all out and make you happy without you even knowing what pictures he took till you get them back. I would recommend him to anyone that needs wedding, engagement, or even family pictures. Cyrus your the best.
For our wedding we were introduced to Mike by one of my bridesmaids. She had family pictures taken by him and said he was an amazing photographer and he actually made taking pictures fun. After meeting him we knew she was right about him being fun to be around. You can't help but have a good time when he is taking your pictures. But to say he was an amazing photographer did not do him justice. I have never seen pictures that look so beautiful/crisp in my whole life. Everything was just perfect, the bright colors, the way he posed people so perfectly and the natural smiles that he caught from everyone made our pictures the best I had ever seen. He was willing to do anything and go anywhere to make sure we had the best pictures and that included taking the bridal parties jeeps down to the river after the wedding and taking pictures there. There are not enough words to say how beautiful my wedding pictures are or how much I love them. Not only that but everyone in my bridal party still talk about how much fun the photographer was and that they wished they would of had him when they got married. Choosing to have Christopher Michael Images as your wedding photographer will be one of the best/easiest decisions you can make for your wedding.
