My husband and I first spoke with Chris through e-mail and on the phone to get our engagement shoot set up. Chris was very prompt with returning all of our phone calls or e-mails. In speaking with Chris, we knew he was going to be great to work with and we were very excited for our engagement shoot.
We met Chris one evening at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, VA. Chris arrived early with his equipment, his assistant, and a packet full of engagement photo ideas. He was ready to start the moment we arrived. Throughout the shoot he showed us the photo ideas and also allowed us to make special photo requests. My husband and I had no experience in front of the camera but Chris made the photo shoot easy and relaxing for us. Within a day, Chris had all of our amazing photos back to us, and he sent more photos than we could have imagined!
Leading up to the day of the wedding, Chris made sure to stay in contact with us. We went over a checklist to make sure he was going to get all of the shots that we wanted and asked for any special requests. I also sent him a schedule for the day so he know where to be at what time. Chris arrived to the wedding venue early so that he could check out the venue and get everything set up.
Chris did an amazing job before, during, and after the ceremony and into the reception. He was all over the place capturing as many moments on camera as he could but never in the way of myself or the guests. Many of my guests even stated what a fantastic job he was doing. He was amazing at getting the photos "just right" and taking every photo we had mentioned we wanted. Once again, within a day after the wedding, we started to receive our photos. We were blown away at how many photos Chris sent us, all amazing!
Chris definitely helped take some stress away because I knew we had a photographer we could count on. Chris was friendly and so easy to work with. We could not have been more pleased with Chris and his work. We will definitely be using Chris for any future photography needs and we highly recommend him to anyone!
My husband and I first contacted this company for our engagement shoot. Neither of us have much experience in front of the camera. Chris arrived early and had set up a private shoot on a local pier (this required permits) he brought proper lighting equipment and gave easy to follow instructions. We continued on to jockeys ridge. Throughout the shoot he showed us a few photos and made sure to ask for special requests. We needed a photo for the newspaper. We were so impressed By the end that we asked him to be our photographer for the big day.
A month later I met with Chris for my bridal session. This was an entirely different location (our hometown, 3 hours from the wedding location). The week prior to this we emailed back and forth about photos I wanted, all found on Pinterest, and he was quick to respond to every message. When he arrived he had a clipboard of poses including the ones I requested. This was extremely helpful for me. Rather than trying to explain how he wanted me to pose he could just show me, and we used the photos as a check list to make sure we had everything I wanted. I was very lucky to have such an accommodating photographer, he allowed time for breaks (my dress was making me sore, don't forget it's the first time you wear it and I didn't know what to expect so I changed jewelry, hair, nail color, etc.)
I can't explain how excited I was with his response time. I had photos from both sessions within a day. He was very generous with the amount of photos he sent ( other photographers only promised 20 photos per session)
The big day is here and my world is spinning, everyone is pulling me in different directions. The one thing I'm not stressing over, the photographer. He sent me an itinerary a few days before of exactly what time he would be there, where he would be and which photos would be done. He worked around my schedule and requests. Chris contacted the church and set up his equipment before I ever got to the church. During the reception he moved throughout the crowd and then afterwards we had a shoot with the wedding party out on the beach.
It was important to us that our photographer was friendly so that our guest would not shy away from the camera as most people do. We could not of been more pleased with Chris, he was always early, prepared, dressed well, and very professional. We have already discussed booking him for our anniversary photos and he is my top pick for any of my future events.
