We had an amazing experience with Cole and Ashley from start to finish. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is saying a lot because we’re not usu...
ally naturals! Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail really stood out throughout the entire process.
Cole was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer my messages. I had a million questions along the way, and he never once made me feel like a bother.
On the day of the wedding, everything felt relaxed and fun, yet incredibly well-organized. Cole and Ashley had a great eye for lighting, angles, and candid moments, capturing both the big highlights and the small, meaningful details we might have otherwise missed. Our guests also loved the live portrait photobooth.
When we received our photos, we were blown away. We got married March 14th and already getting our wedding book and canvas in the mail in May.
We couldn’t recommend CNK more highly—if you’re looking for someone talented, reliable, and easy to work with, you won’t be disappointed!
I loved working with CNK for my engagement photos and for my wedding. This would have been a five star review however I got married two and half years ago and have still not receiv...
ed everything from my contract. I’ve sent countless emails, texts and Instagram messages (this was the only one I received an answer to) and have still not received the photo book and canvas that I paid for. Don’t book them if you don’t want your contract honored.
We loved our photographer, Tom — he was communicative, flexible, knowledgeable, and our photos came out pretty well. Unfortunately, I would not recommend CNK because it took 360 da...
ys and literally dozens of (mostly unanswered) messages to the owner to receive everything we paid for. He literally did not respond to me for months, and at one point when he finally did get in touch, he had me confused with another client. It was extremely frustrating and time consuming to track him down, and he did not apologize for or even acknowledge the delays.
We initially meet CNK at the Hotel Bethlehem winter wedding vendor event. My wife fell in love with their style of photography, so we booked. We felt the price was reasonable for t...
he package we got, we got the an engagement photo shoot, our full wedding all day with two photographers and three canvases, usb flash drive and a photo album. Our wedding was in the beginning of June. We had our engagement shoot with Jackie, who was amazing and we recommend her 1000% percent. On our wedding day we had Jackie again and Shannon. These two were amazing, I recommend them to everyone!!! They shielded us from protests going on downtown on our wedding day and everything. They got so many unique photos and took our requests with ease. Jackie got us a few photos that same night so we could post on socials to announce and celebrate, amazing service! Photos took about four weeks, typical, nothing to stress about, they took thousands that night. Now comes the sucky part, post wedding. We have been emailing and calling CNK and Cole to see where our album and canvases are. We haven't heard from anyone at CNK since August 6th in which they said they were waiting for proofs. Come to find out, so many others have been scammed the same way by CNK not responding or providing updates. I hope someone at CNK see this and decides to reach out to make this right. We understand if nothing is printed yet, we just want a status update on things we have paid for. I will edit this post to potentially give CNK more stars in the future just because of how wonderful Jackie and Shannon were for our wedding.
We used CNK for our wedding in October 2023. We had a great experience with them leading up to our wedding and loved the photos we received. However, we have not received everythin...
g we paid for in our contract. Initially they responded timely however since our wedding they have barely responded to our emails. It took over a year and a half to get the album and canvas (which we paid for in our contract) despite sending several emails monthly asking for updates. Most emails went left unanswered. We still have not received our USB. Unfortunately we will not be using them for future events.
We hired CNK for our wedding which took place back in May. The initial contact and everything leading up to the wedding was great, however, after the wedding, there has been little...
to no contact. We have received all our digitals, but everything else promised in the package (usb, canvases, and album) have not been received. Now, we have not selected the photos for our album yet, so I’m slacking on that front, but we selected our photos for our canvases and have asked for the USB for over a month now and have had no luck getting in contact with them. At this point I don’t even care about the album and might just do that myself, but I don’t want to have to pay another company when I’ve already paid CNK! We have tried emailing once a week, texting and calling, but no luck. Their office phone number and Cole’s number goes straight to voicemail. After reading several other reviews, it appears that this is a common occurrence. I don’t want to be a Bridezilla, but no contact is inexcusable. Maybe leaving reviews will finally get their attention. Considering legal action. Do not use unless you only care about the digitals.
We have used CNK photography for a family wedding on October 8th, 2023. They were great with initial contact and during the wedding ceremony and reception. Very helpful and profess...
ional. After the wedding we have only received the digital photos. We have not received the rest of the package that we have paid for. We have tried to call, emailed, and contact through text with only a text weeks later. The response through text said proofs would be sent the next morning, a week later and we still have not received anything. CNK Photography does not respond to any forms of contact and is not reliable.
CNK Photography was absolutely amazing to work with in person. Cole was amazing to work with from early on for our engagement photos. We had to reschedule initially due to the smok...
e from the wildfires that would have ruined our photos. He wanted to make sure we were getting the best possible engagement photos and it was worth the wait! Cole and Jackie were with us on our wedding day and kept everything moving so smoothly, capturing all of the shots we wanted and then some! Everything went so smoothly that we were able to maximize our time at cocktail hour, which is what we wanted! We received preview photos within 48 hours and I am already in love with these photos. They're amazing quality and truly captured every emotion from the day. While we received our wedding gallery in an extremely timely fashion (faster than I anticipated to be honest), my husband and I have been extremely disappointed in the communication and turnaround time of receiving the other products we paid for in our contract. It was been 16 months since we selected the photos for our album and canvas and 12 months since we were told a proof was in the works. There has been no communication on a time frame for these products. There was also no response to an email sent almost 3 months ago simply requesting an update on anticipated timeframe. While the team is absolutely wonderful to work with in person, on the day of the event…it’s been frustrating thereafter trying to receive the rest of our products that have already been paid for.
Cole was so great to work with at our January 2024 wedding at Woodstone! Super professional, knew which pictures to get, and perfectly captured our day. We received our online gall...
ery right away, and we were thrilled with the quality of the pictures and how beautiful they turned out!
Cole was great the day of my wedding. The reason for my one star review is I have been married since November 2022 so we have been married for approximately 16 months. I received m...
y wedding album 13 months after my wedding, I didn't even have it to look at on my one year anniversary. I still have not received the Canvas or USB that is a part of the package I purchased. I have emailed Cole numerous times regarding these items and he has only responded three times in the last year. Two of the times he said the items shipped that day and yet we still do not have them. I attached copies of my emails to show I was not rude or a "Bridezilla" even after not receiving the items. We paid Cole( in full well before the wedding) we tipped Cole and the 2nd photographer, and we remained polite throughout this entire experience. I do not like leaving bad reviews but at this point I don't know what else to do. I wish we went with a different photographer.
I truly cannot say enough great things about Cole and the CNK photography team. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, our experience has been nothing short of AMAZING. Cole...
is professional, organized, helpful, dedicated and extremely talented at what he does. He made our wedding day stress free because of this! We received numerous compliments about the photographers from guests at our wedding that day. These compliments never stopped and continued to pour in after we received our sneak peak photos, the morning after our wedding! We are SO thankful for Cole and CNK photography. Our wedding day was captured perfectly. We would highly recommend CNK photography and will continue to use them going forward. There are no words to express how happy we are to have worked with this team!!
Cole is absolutely amazing! Jackie was our second photographer and she is also just as amazing! Will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, to the point where it is only...
you and your spouse. Our photos were absolutely gorgeous, we cannot thank them enough for the lifetime of memories they have captured for us. Highly recommend!
Cole was highly recommended to us through a prior colleague who had used him for their wedding. After messaging several photographers and comparing wedding packages, pricing, and ...
portfolios, we chose to go with Cole for our big day and are very happy with our choice. My husband and I are both proud Penn State alumni and Cole had suggested that we travel to Happy Valley for our engagement photos. I am SO happy he did! There couldn't have been a more perfect location. We love looking through our engagement photos and reminiscing about our time at PSU. We are also very pleased with our wedding photos. Our digital photos became available about 4 months after our wedding day. The wedding album is beautiful and great quality. We will also be proudly displaying our canvas in our new home. My only two critiques is that it took 10 months to receive our album, canvas, and USB and communication could have been better after the wedding. I would have appreciated updates on the status of our products. At times I had to send multiple messages in order to get an answer. I do understand that COVID has thrown everyone for a loop and made things slower and sometimes more difficult but I feel there could have been some improvement in these areas for the future. Overall, we are very happy with CNK Photography and would recommend their services.
We absolutely loved working with Cole (and James) for our wedding. Cole is so kind and has a great energy that our family and bridal parties enjoyed. He is such a trooper, for our ...
engagement photos he let us drag him into NYC in the middle of January. It was freezing but he kept us focused and got amazing shots. Our wedding day was no exception from this experience, Cole helped steer the ship in ways I didn't even expect. My big ask was that we get all formal shots done between the first look and ceremony and he did exactly that! We already have our preview and we are so excited to the rest because we love every photo so far! Could not recommend Cole more!
I can't say enough about Cole and the CNK team for our wedding. He made the day so much fun, so easy, and helped us feel comfortable throughout the day. My entire bridal party, fam...
ily, and many guests have reached out to me specifically to tell me how great our photographers were and how much they loved them. Friends of ours were jealous they already picked their photographers because they wanted to use CNK for their weddings.
We already received almost 150 pictures just a few days after the wedding that everyone has loved so far. We cannot be happier with our choice to go with CNK.
He also was very easy to work with for the engagement shoot. We had it on the hottest day of the year, and he was such a trooper about it. Our engagement shoot photos came back amazing as well!!
Don't even think about it, book CNK for your wedding! You won't regret it!
We have nothing but great things to say about CNK photography! We used Cole and his team for our wedding in January of 2022 and are so happy we did so. Cole is an extremely talente...
d and professional photographer. He made use feel comfortable, helped us create and keep a timeline throughout the day, and made sure all the pictures we wanted were taken. So many friends and family came up to us to compliment how efficient and nice our photographer was.
We highly recommend CNK for your wedding needs!
CNK is THE BEST. I can’t get over how great Cole and his team were to work with. Cole did both our engagement photos and wedding and the experience was everything we could have wis...
hed for. He is so great with knowing exactly what to do for the photos, and also is very generous making sure the day goes smoothly for both the bride and groom. I cannot recommend Cole and his team enough.
Cole and his associate Tom were fabulous with our engagement, wedding and my bridal portraits! I can’t get over how beautiful our preview pictures are of the wedding, and I can’t w...
ait to see the rest! 10/10 will use again for family photos!
Cole did our small wedding ceremony in July 2020 (covid) and our big wedding ceremony July 2021. Cole takes great pictures that really captures the feel of the celebration. His pic...
tures are gorgeous and unique. He took photos we wanted from our list and also provided recommendations. He stayed the entire night at our wedding to continue capturing the lively reception. He responded to emails and helped give suggestions for day of timeline, etc. I highly recommend CNK for wedding photography.
Cole has been amazing to work with! Him and his team are amazing at what they do! From the first time we met with Cole for engagement photos he instantly put us at ease and made us...
not feel awkward in front of the camera. The same night he sent us a few sneak peak photos and got us alll our photos quickly! The meeting before the wedding day Cole walked us through our schedule and organized everything for me… Gave suggestions and ideas that I would’ve never thought of! Him and his team showed up early while we were getting ready and stayed with us the entire time until the sparkler send off, which he planned and organized for us. The CNK team was so helpful and professional getting all the different shots the day of the wedding! A few days after the wedding Cole sent us preview photos and they perfectly capture our day! I am so thankful for his amazing work so we will be able to relive our most perfect day forever!
We cannot say enough good things about Cole, or anyone part of his CNK photography team. He is simply the best, awesome to work with, and one of the best people to spend the day w...
ith for your wedding. Not only do you receive phenomenal service, but Cole and his team become part of your whole group. My husband and I also cannot thank him enough for his support and services throughout the pandemic. We had to postpone our initial wedding to this April, but in 2020 he still showed up to capture our private ceremony.
I knew of CNK photography from friend's weddings, but if you find your photographer through this site, please look no further! Cole is simply the best and you will not be disappointed.
Thomas was our wedding videographer and we are SO amazingly blessed he was a part of our day. Him and his assistant showed up first thing in the morning, worked all day through the...
heat wave we had, and were so wonderful! I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, kindness, and for being a part of our wedding day! I just know our video will be better than we ever imagined !!
Could not imagine our engagement or wedding photos being done by anyone else. As a photographer myself, I have unique needs and specific converns. Cole made us feel comfortable eno...
ugh that I trusted someone else taking MY image -and they came out spectacular. I love them so much, I printed photos that all our guests were in to include in their thank you cards as gifts. — with Phillip Lipyanic.
We have been working with Cole since we first got engaged, and let me say he is hands down one of the most talented photographers I know. I am so thankful Paul and I were so blesse...
d to have him capture our wedding day. He is such a personable photographer, and really takes his time capturing every detail so well. He makes the overall process of photo taking fun, and exciting. I am so impressed with how great Cole is, and I know I will be referring him to everyone for weddings, and etc.
Cole was so great to work with in all aspects of our wedding process. From our engagement session to the actual wedding day, I would recommend Cole every time!
Absolutely incredible photographer. Cole runs a very innovative and efficient photography business! He did our engagement photo shoot and he captured us as a couple exactly how we ...
wanted. He also hiked his equipment a mile or two into the woods to capture the perfect waterfall pictures that we wanted. Super quick at getting the photos edited to us as well (like the same day). Overall a joy to work with and he will do whatever it takes to make your day special. Can’t wait for him to do our wedding!
We could not have found a more perfect photographer to work with on our wedding day. Cole is not only an amazing person, but an incredibly talented photographer. It was such a plea...
sure having him with us. He was able to capture so many precious moments and came up with such creative ideas we could have never thought of on our own. His photos really do speak 1,000 words. We could not be happier with CNK Photography and will highly recommend them to anyone we know who is in need.
Cole is the Best!! So easy to work with & focused on what we as a couple wanted. Our pictures for both engagement & wedding came out awesome! His photo ideas are funky & inventive ...
(spelling my new last name out in my girls & my shoes?!- i mean come on what a cool idea right!) We got married on my my birthday & Cole even went as far as to print out some of the days pictures to put in a mini album for us!
Looking forward to working with Cole for our wedding video!
