Do not pass them up!!!! you'll regret it!!!
Our wedding was on 10/03/25. Chris and Michelle were absolutely amazing. We loved their energy and vibe that they brought making it sup...
er easy for us to be able to be ourselves. After a lot of our expenses were paid for, we decided to reach out shortly before our wedding to see if we could upgrade our package to include a videographer which they were able to pull off. Not only that but the videographer was just as amazing! We were supper happy to have had them as a part of our day to be able to capture the moments and memories that will last a lifetime. We are also supper excited to see the photos!! We did get to see just a few off the camera roll that looked absolutely stunning. They know what they are doing! Thank you guys again so much for everything that you did. We are truly grateful.
This couple is amazing! They work with their client and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Unfortunately, my fiance passed away before our wedding date.
They not only were ...
understanding in the cancelation of the contract, they provided me and our kids a priceless canvas of our family.
We are forever grateful for this photographer capturing our last family photos.
Thank you Christopher and Michelle Photography.
Highly recommend.
Chris and Michelle were so helpful and friendly. They worked together seamlessly as a team and were very good at posing us and our wedding party to get an amazing shot. They also c...
aptured beautiful candid moments throughout our reception and had great attention to detail. They were patient with my large family and we were able to get through all of the family photos quickly between the ceremony and reception. We also purchased a package to capture our full ceremony and reception special moments on video with audio. Everything turned out great and we got our photos and video back within a month. They communicated well ahead of the day after we began texting instead of emailing. We had started out communicating via email, but they were sometimes slow to respond, so I definitely recommend communicating via text if you can. We're so happy that we booked Chris and Michelle for our wedding and an engagement session!
Chris and Michelle really knocked it out of the park. They were both so friendly and did an amazing job. They worked seamlessly together to get some great shots and made sure to ge...
t everything on my list (which was short). They were very familiar with Forest Park and had plenty of good suggestions. We did have some difficulties with communication by email, but once we confirmed texting would be better, it was much faster getting answers. We're very happy with the way our photos turned out and they got them back to us within a month

groomsmen, bridesmaids, and the whole wedding party together. We had many different configurations of family photos to take, and Chris and Michelle were very professional and patient through the whole process.
The best part of the experience were the sunset photos, which turned out absolutely gorgeous! They worked together to explain their great ideas to make the most of the lighting and it was a fun experience.
Chris and Michelle took care of the photography perfectly so that we could focus on enjoying the moment.

I should have posted this months ago but I got so caught up with after wedding things. Christopher and Michelle were the most amazing photographers ever. I have seen many photograp...
hers in the past and none even compare. Every bit of the experience with them was so amazing and I have people constantly ask me about my wedding photos. I will brag on there skills forever. I have told anyone who asks to look into them as well. They really went above and beyond and I cry every time I look at our photos. Thank you for getting the most amazing pictures, beyond my imagination.
Chris and Michelle always exceed our standards! This was not the first time we have worked with them and we could not be happier with our wedding video. The day was captured so wel...

Christopher and Michelle were incredible. They are very down-to-earth and were fantastic at keeping to our schedule. They had the perfect balance of being friendly and calm while a...
lso maintaining an organized flow. I was also really appreciative of their suggestions - they convinced me to take some photos outside before the ceremony, and I was skeptical because I didn't want my hair or makeup to be affected by the weather. However, I was so glad I listened to them, because they knew of beautiful spots just outside of where we were getting ready, and I think my photos would have been lacking if they had not convinced me otherwise.
During the ceremony, they shot SO MANY PICTURES! It was incredible, because I think I only saw them once during the entire thing! I have no idea how they got so many beautiful shots from so many angles in such a short span of time without noticing them! When it was time for just photos of my husband and I, Chris and Michelle were so fun. Their easy banter will us and each other made our special photos that much more enjoyable. My husband, our families, and I love all of our photos and we will cherish these for the rest of our lives.
I LOVE my wedding photos I've received so far! We were so lucky to get a preview of our photos just days after our wedding. I can't wait for them all to arrive!
Christopher and M...
ichelle were amazing every step of the way. Chris has an incredible eye for scenery and photo locations. I trusted him to take us to a nice location and am so glad I did. What looked like a random building ending up being the backdrop to the most beautiful photo of our wedding. I am stunned! He had great knowledge of the area we were in and knew exactly where to go no matter the weather. Christopher and Michelle were fabulous, always made sure my dress was laid out nice, gave little tips on how to pose when I wasn't sure what to do. They always knew what would look good. I am so happy :)
We had to make some last minute changes due to Covid and they were so accommodating.
We hired Christopher-Michelle Photography for our Engagement and Wedding Photos. Not only were they GREAT photographers but they were AMAZING help during our wedding. They kept us ...
on track of our timeline, offered suggestions, helped keep our nerves in check and even helped with some warddrobe malfunctions along the way! They were SUPER fun to work with and instantly felt like family/friends we have known for years! Words cannot express how Grateful we are that they helped make our special day the BEST DAY EVER! Highly recommend to any Bride & Groom!
These are the best photographers out there! They took their time getting to know us and really made us comfortable while taking pictures. On our wedding day they were so great at ...
directing our family and wedding party to get the shots we requested, and had great ideas as to where to go in forest park for pictures after the wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chris and Michelle are great and I would recommend them for any wedding!
Best photography experience you could ask for!!! Christopher and Michelle shot our wedding last year in Snowshoe, WV. They helped us plan out the whole day in terms of groomsmen/br...
idesmaid shots, first look, family photos, etc. They were punctual, professional, and extremely friendly!! They captured every moment of the ceremony and reception while blending in seamlessly.
Chris's creative eye for staging photos is truly amazing. Our groomsmen got really cool photos in the great room of a mountain lodge; my wife and I got shots riding up and down a ski lift; the ceremony photos could go in a magazine; and we snuck away for sunset photos atop the mountain.
Christopher and Michelle also did a fabulous job editing the photos, and had them to us extremely quickly. We got so many compliments on the photos!!
I couldn't recommend more highly. If they are available, you should book them!!
Christopher and Michelle are the absolute best at what they do! They were extremely helpful in day-of-planning process, helping us design a relaxed schedule that allowed plenty of ...
time for all the couple/bridal party etc shots we wanted. The first look was a wonderful touch as well. During the ceremony, they captured video and photographer inconspicuously while getting amazing shots. The reception photos were not only beautiful but really captured the fun and memories of the guests as well. We got married at a mountain resort, and Chris captured sunset mountaintop photos that had the resort coordinator in awe.
To top it off, the shot selection and editing are beyond anything you'd expect from a wedding photographer. I dont know that I've seen better editing on wedding photos.
Christopher and Michelle have been doing this for a while, in addition to working professionally as photographers and editors in commercial settings. I can't imagine wanting anything else!! Would highly recommend to anyone (and infact did recommend to my brother and sister in law, who used them for their wedding).
BOOK NOW!! Don't miss out on having the BEST two photographers for your big day! The photos Michelle and Christopher took at our wedding turned out absolutely STUNNING, they were a...
blast to work with, and they went above and beyond typical job duties to help our day flow. I'm talking let me borrow their coats when it was cold outside, drove me to our first look venue, went to the reception venue to set up flowers when our florist messed up, had a preview ready the day after our wedding with all the photos of us and our moms since it was Mother's day, and helped make decisions related to timeline and photo destinations! They got every single photo we wanted and initiated them happening without any reminders on the day of the wedding. I got to totally turn off my brain and have this fantastic gallery delivered to me only 4 weeks after our big day! I would book them again in a second!!
Chris and Michelle were so fabulous to work with on our wedding day! They went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly as we envisioned and went off without a hitch. Our ...

So happy with all the wedding photos! Christopher and Michelle worked together on our wedding and got plenty of pictures of both bride and groom parties getting ready. The photos i...
n the church were great and I love all the pictures of our wedding party. They found great light and perfect backgrounds for our bridal party. They had our sneak peek back to us very quickly and the all images back in a timely manner. I was the typical bride thinking it was taking forever, but I tried to be patient and got them back within 5 weeks of the wedding. With them going through over 800 photos, I understand the timing! We have another reception in 2021 and are using them again!
Chris and Michelle were great to work with. We had to change a lot because of covid. They were willing to make those changes. It also rain on our wedding day. They took some great...

We had our engagement session in the snow and our wedding on one of the hottest days in July. They rocked both and even though it was miserably hot (and cold) they took their time ...
and made sure they got the perfect photos. They were great to work with and made our dreams come true with both posed and spontaneous photos of the best day of our life! I still catch myself just scrolling through them admiring all of the moments they caught so perfectly.
It just so happened that my husband and I had the opportunity to get married in Italy. Chris and Michelle actually traveled with us and were there every step of the way leading up ...
to and on our special day. When we arrived at our location, Chris and Mici took the time to plan and scope out the area to look for the best scenic views. They gently reminded us of things that needed to be done and worked to provide a feasible time frame for the day. Both are extremely capable photographers, so both split up with the guys and girls while we were getting ready and snapped great pictures. They were also there to help out in any possible way, either with carrying my dress or other accessories, or helping with hair and makeup. They both were truly a special part of the day. I would recommend these two for anyone looking for an above and beyond experience. You will not be disappointed.
