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 captured 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!

We loved Christopher-Michelle Photography!! We had a huge family and lots of bridesmaids/groomsmen and they kept us on track and documented the whole day perfectly! We got married on 10/28/23, which was rainy and cold -- but you couldn't tell in the pictures!! They stuck it out with us outside and ended up with AWESOME fall colors!

Extremely impressed! They were early and ready to go. They launched into action and captured some truly beautiful photos! Not only did we get the traditional photos we requested but they also helped us capture some more creative pictures that are now my favorites too! Beyond their phenomenal photography skills, they adapted well to the crazy changes that occur on wedding days and helped ease my stress levels. I’m so glad that they were a part of my special day!

Christopher and Michelle were excellent photographers for our wedding. We were very happy with how the photos turned out. They both had lots of great ideas for cool photos with the 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 photographers 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 well, we feel like we are reliving it with each time we rewatch it. We would highly recommend them for all photography and videography needs.

They were both so fun to work with. Michelle felt like one of my wedding party by calming my nerves and keeping things moving to my schedule. She seemed to always have her eye on me and how I was doing. Christopher has a great eye for finding that perfect shot. Photos were amazing and there were so many included. They are now my go-to photographers.

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 also 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 Michelle 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/bridesmaid 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!!

Our photos turned out absolutely amazingly! I cannot speak highly enough of them. Plus, I was so glad to hire a small, family-owned business! We also did an engagement shoot with them, which was so fun and such a great way for us to celebrate our engagement! I promise you will not be disappointed!

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 in 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 absolutely amazing! Our wedding day was dreary and our venues were dark so I was very worried about getting good pictures. This worry was completely unfounded- the pictures that this amazing couple took were vibrant and beautiful. Chris has a great eye for photo composition and did a phenomenal job of posing us in ways that created beautiful pictures! Michelle did everything! When she wasn't taking pictures, coaching us into poses she was keeping us on track with our schedule and made sure we got all the pictures that we wanted. These two complement each other perfectly and made for a great team! They really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while taking some amazing photos!

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.

Chris kept things fun and moving for the whole family and bridal party and Michelle was a savior with rallying the troops. Our images were beautiful and they did a great job of capturing the soft style I was hoping for. We even got some incredible shots in the rain that night! They also connected us with their friend who made a short video of our day.
They were such a vital part of making our day smooth and memorable! Highly recommend.

Christopher & Michelle were an absolute dream to work with, from the very first inquiry to designing our photo album.
They listened to everything that we wanted and made our dreams come true, no matter how out of the norm our request was.
Our wedding went on without a hitch and every amazing moment was captured, from wrangling our family, to working with my dog and never missing a moment!
Working with this amazing husband and wife team on our wedding day was more than I every could have hoped for in a photographer, they are a true team and anticipate each other’s needs and truly make a formidable team.
Anyone would be luck to work with Christopher-Michelle Photography for their big day, not just because their work is breathtaking but because would will have friends for life! And now we have a photographer for life!

They're so unique and their skill from the beginning of the planning process all the way through to well after the wedding shows in everything they do. They really made sure to capture our day in a way that let our true selves shine through. They made us feel so comfortable and they are there for you every step of the way.

I want to start out by providing a little background: I am a guy who absolutely does not like taking pictures. Ladies, you probably have a fella who is the same way. With that being said, I absolutely had a blast taking pictures with Chris and Michelle. They were so laid back, and yet very professional, all at the same time. They worked around our crazy teacher schedules to make sure we got the experience we were looking for. We used their engagement and wedding photo package and it is very much worth it! On a hazy day, they made it look perfect in the pictures! They even added snow to a couple of pictures and it did not look fake whatsoever!
On the day of the wedding we paid a little extra to have them take pictures of my wife and her bridesmaids getting ready. They already had ideas of what they thought would look good and listened to what my wife wanted as well. When the ceremony was over, they were very good about moving the pictures in the church along quickly without coming off as rude or pushy! Michelle has a great sense of humor and is perfect for those types of things! Speaking to that, when we got out at our first stop, she told all the guys to grab a beer and follow her. A woman after my own heart ! To say that the pictures we got back from this were beautiful would be doing them injustice. As I mentioned, as a guy, pictures aren’t something that I look forward to or care too much about, but I loved to look at our pictures from Chris and Michelle! I still find myself looking through them now even 6 months after our wedding . They got the pictures to us within a month of the wedding and even re-edited some of them for us when we asked.
Chris and Michelle are so easy to work with and you can tell that they truly care about what they do and the people they work with. I will *knock on wood* never need to use them for wedding pictures again, but I have, and will continue to, recommend them to absolutely anyone who needs a wedding photographer in the future. These are two people who are highly skilled at their craft and even got grouchy old, picture hating me to enjoy the entire process. Hats off to two wonderful people and their excellent work.

Our wedding was Nov. 4th at the Old Cathedral and Neo. I knew i wanted to find someone fantastic to take our photos because we weren’t doing video and this would be the only images of our day. I found the absolute best with Chis and Michelle! Their prices are unbeatable for the amazing work that they do. Our engagement pics were stunning but out wedding photos were breathtaking. Michelle even helped with my dress when no one could get it buttoned! Thier directions are clear and they are fun and easy to work with. Hands down it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Thank you Chris and Michelle for capturing our day so perfectly!

I searched and searched for photographers and finally found Christopher and Michelle. I was SO HAPPY with my choice. From beginning to end, Christopher and Michelle told me what was going on step by step. Any time I had a question I contacted them. They responded very quickly and always made me feel like they were there for me.
They did our engagement pictures which turned out beautifully. Then they also photographed our wedding on September 9, 2017. We got our pictures back in less than Four Weeks!! And they were positively stunning!!! We love every single one of them! We have received so many complements on them! They perfectly captured all the big moments like the first time we saw each other, our first kiss as husband and wife, beautiful pictures of our family, and fun pictures with our friends. And all the small things like our cake details, our rings, centerpieces, and decorations.
I highly recommend them for photographing your wedding. They are a joy to work with, very kind and they care about your day. I could really tell they wanted to make it special for us, and they absolutely did!!

Christopher and Michelle were a pleasure to work with! My photos turned out beautifully! We are so happy with how they captured our special day. Their prices were very reasonable for what the package included. I was recommended to them by a lot of my friends and two of my bridesmaids have already booked them for their wedding!

We searched The Knot for a couple months for the perfect photographer. We knew we didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for our wedding pictures but also wanted them to be good quality. We stumbled across Christopher & Michelle Photography and truly hit the jackpot! The prices for their packages were awesome and looking at previous wedding and engagement pictures they were all absolutely gorgeous! Both Christopher and Michelle were wonderful and easy to work with. We met once before our engagement pictures and once before the wedding to go over every detail. Let me tell you they do not miss a thing when it comes to the small details. They went above and beyond our expectations during both days and beautifully photographed our engagement and wedding. I can’t stop looking at our wedding and engagement pictures and get to relive each moment every day!

We had such an amazing experience working with Chris and Michelle. From the very beginning, they were professional, fun, and so easy to get along with. We felt so comfortable working with them throughout the entire process. Between Chris' expertise in lighting and Michelle's attention to detail, our photos were so incredibly beautiful. They captured our personalities so well and were open to everything we wanted to do and everywhere we wanted to go. We keep looking at our photos and cannot help but smile every time. We cannot recommend Christopher-Michelle Photography enough - They are they best!

Chris and Michelle were everything we hoped for in a photographer and more! They are both truly amazing people - We got along with them so well during both our engagement session and wedding day that made us very comfortable in front of the camera. We didn't have a wedding planner but Michelle was great at keeping our day organized and really filled the role going the extra mile for us. The pictures turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier! Would recommend them to anyone!

Michelle and Christopher were like a dream come true! When we met the couple, our personalities just clicked, so from the very start, we were put at ease. Michelle brings the business and Christopher brings the creativity and skill--Together they are unstoppable! Our family was impressed with how discreet Christopher and Michelle were during our ceremony (and efficient!) and we have been blown away by the quality and quantity of pictures we were given! Affordable and top-notch service. We are definitely referring them to any of our friends who are getting married!

Chris and Michelle were wonderful to work with! They were professional, fun, and took amazing photos! We enlisted their help last minute and were happy that they could capture our special day. They have a creative eye for posing shots and knew about many good photography spots in Forest Park. We couldn't have asked for better photographers for our special day! We are really happy with all the photos!

Great down to earth people that can help you enjoy your big day even more and take off some of the stress! The pictures were a great mix of portraits and artsy and both turned out perfect! You won't regret picking them!

Chris and Michelle were amazing to work with! Our wedding day was FULL of rain, but Chris and Michelle were still able to capture all the shots that we wanted. Even though the rain was not so much fun, we have some AMAZING photos taken in the rain that are spectacular. The photo quality is unreal; every little rain drop can be seen! :)
We were so blessed to work with a couple that knew the ins and outs of weddings and made it so we did not have a worry in the world!

Christopher-Michelle Photography is amazing! It is a husband and wife duo that really work with you and understand what is important to you. They are a fantastic team that really knows what they are doing. The pictures are both beautiful and artistic. They were very professional and accommodating. They were on time and didn't leave until they had all the shots we wanted. They worked with us through everything and had a very quick turn around time during the busy wedding season. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any event or occasion! They were great to work with and easy to get in touch with. Very Happy with everything!

They did an amazing job with our wedding photos!!! Not only were they almost unnoticeable during the ceremony (it was nice to not have a camera interrupting the ceremony) but they also were really respectful to guest. It was also nice that they kept me in line all day I didn't have to worry about time because they did that for me. I just got my photos back and I am very pleased, they even edited my pictures after I went through them and asked for some to be black and white and not in color. I highly recommend Christopher and Michelle Photography for your wedding!!!!
