Chris was fantastic from the first moment that we reached out to him. He showed his knowledge about photography over our phone consultation and made us feel well taken care of throughout the engagement and wedding photography process. He made us feel comfortable throughout the engagement photo process, and we got some fantastic shots. Same with at the wedding. He was a fly on the wall throughout the ceremony and reception, and I wouldn't have known he was there if the photographs hadn't been there to prove it. He also gave great direction when it came time to pose (we are certainly not models and needed lots of hand holding). He worked great with the team from our wedding venue to make everything seamless for us and get us out for a second round of pictures during the reception when our first round didn't quite give us what we wanted due to slow family members. When we had a small issue with our photographs upon receipt, Chris responded with a grace and an immediate solution to the issue and made everyone happy. Thanks Chris! We couldn't have asked for someone better through this process.
After meeting with Chris to discuss photography for our wedding we instantly knew we didn't need to look any further. He helped make our wedding day perfect. He was easy to communicate with and made us feel comfortable asking questions and making requests. He brought such a calm energy to our wedding day that put my husband and I at ease. I cannot thank Chris and Genovese Studios enough for the incredible photos he captured and has already edited and shared with us! I am so excited to share the photos that he took with our family and friends and treasure them for years to come!
Chris was so great to work with and the sneak peak photos are incredible, we can't wait to get the full set! Very professional and great communication.
Any questions?
Chris took some amazing photos but that's not the main thing that makes him stand out. Alot of photographers can take great photos but Chris was the most professional and communicative photographer I've met. He showed up when he said he would and got the photos and prints done when he said he would. He worked closely with us to make sure our vision for our engagement and wedding photos were perfect. He also gave us plenty of options on photos, video and prints. He was also great on the fly and creative. We had some ideas that popped up when we were on our photoshoot and he not only listened to us but helped us create the shot we were wanting to try. I would definitely use his services again.
Chris was great! I have a dark complexion and my husband has a light complexion and is of a different race. I was worried about finding a photographer that could use natural and external light sources to compliment us both. I interviewed many photographers. Chris was kind and patient. He was professional, answered our questions, and clearly talked about steps he would take to ensure that our wedding (in the evening at an indoor venue) would have wonderful pictures. Our engagement photo session was comfortable and went well despite some short-term bad weather. Chris led the session but was also open to our ideas. At the wedding we had two photographers from prep until the end of the night. We're very happy with our pictures and our experience. I whole-heartedly recommend Genovese Studios for your event!
Genovese Studios exceeded our expectations for our wedding photography. Their prompt response and professionalism were appreciated, especially when dealing with our numerous questions and changes. The photographer's expertise and artistic vision resulted in beautiful, high-quality photos that captured our special day perfectly. We appreciated the
photographer's ability to capture our desired poses and venue shots, and the quick delivery of our photos. We highly recommend Genovese Studios for any couple seeking exceptional wedding photography !!
If you are searching for the perfect wedding photographer, Stop Now! You've found them! Chris, and Genovese Studios were incredible to work with. We researched and interviewed many photographers, but Chris' photo style stood out above the rest. He knew how to capture the moments perfectly with our venue. He worked with us to provide a custom plan that was just right for us. He moved and captured seamlessly the events of the day. We had a small sliver of good lighting for the perfect photos, so he took the bride and groom and captured the best pictures of the day! Thank you Chris for your professionalism, ease to work with. It was like working with family.
We highly recommend Genovese Studios! My husband and I used them for our engagement and wedding pictures. We were blown away with our pictures! Chris and Vanessa were so easy and enjoyable to work with. They listen to their couples and really get a sense of the type of photos you want. Call them ASAP!
Chris and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. Chris took our engagement photos, and then he and his team did the photography/videography for the wedding. We were incredibly happy with the outcome. Chris is easy to work with but knows his stuff. Also, was great making sure all of our requested shots were captured. Highly recommend.
My wife and I had our wedding on NYE 2023 and we asked Chris to be our photographer. Throughout the process Chris was a pleasure to work with and he was very helpful. He asked us to compile different photo ideas we wanted to capture and everything turned out beautifully. Chris was very good about capturing the moments without being intrusive and made us feel very comfortable. Our wedding was fantasy themed with candle lights and fairy lights. We wanted our wedding to start at sunset and Chris was able to still make everything work. We now have the difficult task of picking out of favorite photos for an album, which is almost impossible because we love almost all the photos.
The team did an amazing job for both our engagement and wedding photos. Vanessa was very easy to work with and was great at giving feedback and direction during both shoots. The second shooter for the groomsmen was very attentive and experienced in getting the photos without the feeling of hovering around us. Our family was so pleased by their services that they hired Vanessa to shoot my step sister's senior photos as well. Their website was seamless and they were prompt in returning emails and most importantly they were on time for both days.
Chris as absolutely amazing. He was so easy to work with and made my husband feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He was very flexible with working with our schedules. Our pictures turned out great. Very happy with everything.
My husband and I were drawn to Genovese Studios through their online portfolio, featuring beautiful atmospheric shots and small, authentic moments. As photo lovers, my husband and I wanted a photographer with the technical detail for stunning shots with an eye for expressive candids. We were not disappointed. Chris and the team captured the magic we felt so genuinely on our special day with incredible artistry. Stunning final product, and we are over the moon!
My wife and I wanted a very small wedding, as we are both not the type to be front and center for something like this. It was simply going to be us, the judge and a photographer. We had a few photographer friends back out of taking our pictures pretty late in the planning, so we were searching for a photographer that could take our photos on pretty short notice. My wife found Chris’s studio on Google through an article about Best Photography in Houston, and sent him a message to inquire about his services. Not only were we impressed with how fast he got back to us, but how warm and accommodating he was with the ideas we had. We didn’t have a lot in mind, and we preferred more of a candid style and trusted his talent based on the galleries from his website. He assured us that this would not be a problem, nor our limited time that we had at our courthouse venue in Houston. He kept us updated with communication right up until we were ready to go, and he did not disappoint.
I was immediately impressed and comforted when he showed up on-time (even early so we could get some shots before our time slot) with his camera gear ready to go. He asked us a few questions on some pictures we might want, and he worked out a quick plan outside our venue without hesitation and we got started. I could not have been happier with the whole situation after stressing out just weeks before without a photographer, and Chris delivered in spades. My wife looks absolutely gorgeous in every photo, and we have so many great shots of our special day to share with our family and friends.
Chris was professional, talented and absolutely fair on the costs of his services. We weren’t in a hurry to get our pictures back, but he managed to deliver those quickly as well with the edits they needed. I really can’t say enough good things about Chris taking our photos. He was absolutely amazing every step of the way, and I hope you consider him for your wedding.
Having the most Beautiful Photographs and Videos of my wedding was my top priority.
These are the memories that you will cherish and have for a lifetime to look back and reflect on.
I was in a wedding 10 years ago that Chris photographed. Seeing his incredible work and high level of professionalism, without a doubt, I knew he was the one.
Chris Genovese and his team at Genovese Studios will make sure you have the perfect wedding photos and videos. His work will be there to tell your story. The posed shots are incredible. The pictures of friends, family, and the venue, are simply perfect!
Watching the videos brought back all the emotions of that day. We look forward to sharing the videos and rewatching for years to come.
Chris and his team brought a high level of professionalism throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family that are planning a wedding.
Chris,
Thank you for an incredible job and being such a special part of our journey.
I worked with Chris for both my engagement photo session and my wedding. He was referred to us by our friends who also used him for their wedding. Chris and his team were amazing to work with! Everyone was so professional and was great in telling us where we needed to be for the perfect photo. The packages that they offer were also very competitive compared to what other vendors are charging. I would 100 percent hire him again for any of my photo needs!
Chris was amazing during the whole process leading up to the wedding ensuring all of my thoughts were considered and taking note of my preferences. Having a good photographer for your events, especially weddings, is definitely an area I would not recommend skimping on. Chris is affordable and does a great job, so a win-win! I was very happy with his team he brought along and how organized he was during the process. Highly recommend!
We were pleased that we chose Genovese Studios for our wedding (as well as my engagements and bridals). Chris was a good resource and communicator in the months leading up to all of these photoshoots. I was originally discontent with my bridal shots, partially due to the lighting (and partially due to factors outside of Chris's control), but he was able to resolve my concerns quickly with some editing. We got our wedding photos back in just under a month, and we were pleased with the quality and quantity of photos.
GENOVESE STUDIOS IS A MUST! Chris and his team did such an amazing job capturing our big day and making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Chris is so easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable especially when you are not used to taking all these pictures. We loved all the pictures!
I worked with Vanessa for my October 1st wedding and she was wonderful! Kind, responsive and a joy to work with. Not to mention her incredible talent for capturing the best moments, and helping prompt us to pose when we didn't know what to do! 10 out of 10 recommend!
It was such a pleasure to work with Chris on capturing our wedding day. From our first conversation, he was so helpful, responsive to all of my questions, and provided a lot of great input I would have not considered. He was also super flexible with some schedule changes and always provided alternative options to accommodate my requests. Above all else, the wedding photos turned out beautiful and I cannot thank him enough!
From the beginning, Chris was so down to earth, kind and always had helpful input! We had one phone call with him and immediately knew that we wanted him to shoot our wedding! Him and his helper (Vanessa) we’re both AMAZING! From shooting the best shots to even helping my husband with his boutonnière, they went above and beyond, professionally and personally! I highly recommend Genovese Studios for whatever event or photo session you need!
From the very beginning Chris was so down to earth, kind and personable which made us already like him. Chris and Vanessa, were an incredibly amazing team they made my wedding so pleasant by their professionalism and respect for all our wishes. They did such a fantastic job capturing so many special moments on our wedding day despite how little direction we gave them. We were very happy too with the quality of the photos and the eye and talent they had for capturing the many details that enhanced the photos.
Thank you Genovese studio for making our wedding a picture perfect moment to cherish!
So thankful to Chris and team photographer Vanessa, for their hard work on our wedding day! They are both a true PLEASURE, to work with! They captured such lovely moments, despite a myriad of hurdles, which were all completely out of their control. Not only were they excellent photographers, but they also advocated for us when things got out of sorts with our other vendors, which is something they didn't have to do. We are so grateful for their professionalism, punctuality and fantastic work. Highly recommend!
Chris and his team were amazing! They were all wonderful and easy to work with! Chris worked with us to design the wedding package we wanted. We received our photos and video in a timely manner and they looked beautiful!
We found Chris on The Knot wedding website, and he immediately replied to our inquiry. The quality of our pictures are stunning and elegant, capturing each moment perfectly. Chris kept in contact with us, providing us reminders and answered any questions or concerns we had. Chris is very down to earth, which was good for us because neither of us are picture people and he made our dreams come to life in his photos. We had a lot of picture requests and Chris accommodated them all.
We also did engagement photos with Chris and we were a bit nervous since neither of us are picture people, but Chris coached us through the photos and people loved our Save the Dates.
We will treasure the photos and video of our special day! Thank you Genovese Studios!
Chris and his team did a wonderful job for both our wedding and engagement pictures. They are very talented photographers and we love how all of the pictures came out. Working with them was a very smooth process from beginning to end. We couldn’t recommend them more!
Chris and his team were excellent! We loved our engagement photos around Hermann Park and the wedding and reception photos came out stellar! He really was wonderful to work with and his calm personality and energy really was nice on a day that moves so quickly. He is very experienced, professional and very detail-oriented, which we loved. We highly recommend Chris and really are impressed with how our photos came out!
We love Chris! Chris and his team were fantastic to work with. Chris did our engagement photos which were fantastic and he also did our wedding photos which came out Amazing! He was very flexible and was just a joy to have at our special day. We cant thank you enough for all the great memories you documented for us. Don't look any further just hire him, he wont disappoint!
Chris and his team are absolutely AMAZING!! From start to finish, Chris was wonderful to work with. He is extremely personable, and we had a wonderful time on all our photo shoots! He is professional, well-organized, honest, and responsive to any and all questions/details. Our pictures turned out beautifully! He is PHENOMENAL!!
By far the easiest, most experienced, and best quality vendor I could have asked for. Chris was so easy to work with and his lighting and quality of photos was beautiful. No other photographer does it better!
I am so beyond thrilled to have hired Chris as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos! Chris did such an amazing job in capturing every moment on our wedding day! I am absolutely in love with every photo that Chris took. He is so detailed oriented and it truly shows in his work. He is such an easy-going person which really helped us to relax during our shoot and we just loved how comfortable he made us feel. What I also liked about Chris is he is very communicative and he is so helpful and is so quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Chris!!! I cannot express how truly happy I am with our photos! His work is truly AMAZING and he truly deserves all the recognition!
We got married in June 2021 and used Chris for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Chris and his entire team were so great to work with. They understood exactly what we wanted, did what they needed to do to stick to our timeline and suggested really creative ideas that ended up being our favorite photos/videos. Chris was also very organized and responsive throughout our entire wedding planning process . He was always willing to hop on a call or zoom meeting whenever we had questions. Not to mention our photos and videos turned out amazing. We would highly recommend using him and his team!
Chris was a dream to work with! He was responsive over email for months prior to our wedding day and then seemed like he was able to capture every detail. Our pictures are perfect and the photographers were even able to deal with some difficult weather and direct sunlight. I am so impressed and would recommend to anyone.
We got married in June and used Chris and his team for our photography and a post-wedding couples shoot. He was so helpful! When I booked him, I was a bit of a nervous wreck because we had 3 different locations for our wedding. He helped me to feel comfortable knowing they would be able to work with our varied locations and was there to get all of the important moments of the wedding. Additionally, my husband and I are not big picture people; Chris and his assistant were very helpful in keeping us comfortable and giving us direction for great shots. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!

Chris has a magical way of making every moment beautiful! Most of the time (during engagements, bridals, and the wedding) I hardly noticed he was there! After we received our pictures, it was amazing that he truly did capture every important moment and was able to tell me and my husband's story through pictures. I felt comfortable and trusted Chris that we were going to have beautiful pictures that we could appreciate for the rest of our lives!
Chris did an amazing job!! He and his team were wonderful to work with, and really helped us relax and enjoy. The photos for both the engagement and wedding were just STUNNING!!
Chris was a true professional from the start. We found him after searching through numerous photographers and his photos certainly stood out. When we reached out to a few photographers he responded without delay and we were able to set up a call to get to know him. We had the misfortune of planning our wedding during the height of COVID, but Chris worked with us in every which way to eliminate any concerns and keep us excited about our shoots (engagement, bridal, and wedding).
When it came to the shoots Chris was so friendly and was happy to take any shots we wanted or to recommend locations, poses, and lighting based on his expertise. At the wedding Chris, and his second shooter were so much fun to work with and captured every moment we could have hoped for - candid, action, and posed. As we expected, the final photos were incredible and will be memories to cherish for a lifetime!
We can't recommend Chris and Genovese Studios highly enough!
Chris and his team are the best! He shot both our engagement photos and wedding day. Both days went so smoothly, and he is great at giving advice and direction. He made us feel very comfortable the entire time. We got the photos back in a very timely manner and they are BEAUTIFUL! The video takes a little longer to edit, but the little preview we have so far is awesome - we can't wait to see the finished product!!! We selected a photo & video package and I cannot recommend that enough - it was so easy to have just one point of contact, and the team works so well together! Chris is very friendly and professional, and was always great with communication. We are so happy that we chose Genovese Studios for the best day of our lives!! Thank you!
Chris and his team did an awesome job on our save the date shoot and wedding! He made us feel so comfortable which showed in our photos and was willing to run around town to catch a beautiful sunset. I cannot thank him enough for capturing all of the special moments... even the spur of the moment decision where we (bride and groom) got on the ground during the song Shout! He managed to get shots of everything and everyone.
Chris and his team were easy to work with, professional, and beautifully documented our wedding day. We actually used Chris for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day. From the start he answered all our questions and accommodated our requests. When we had to postponed our wedding due to covid, he was understanding and worked with us to find another date. His photos portray special moments of our wedding. He captured genuine moments and not just poses, which is what I wanted. I would highly recommend Chris and his team.
Having a dad who is into photography, I always had a certain idea of what good photography looks like. That is what I saw when I looked at Genovese Studios’ portfolio. The compositions looked clean and intentional. I like the rich but natural color that Chris delivers in his photography. I feel like nowadays it’s easy for anyone to pick up a camera, throw on some filters, and overcharge people for photos. I liked that Chris was formally trained, and I liked his classic and timeless style. Considering that, his prices are excellent value for the quality and expertise received. I liked that he has a bunch of galleries available for viewing, so that I could see consistent quality in how a whole wedding was shot rather than just a few cherry-picked photos. I could not find a photo I didn’t like in his portfolio. Which is why I booked Genovese Studios ASAP! On top of being a great photographer, Chris is a great person to work with. He is friendly, genuine, straightforward, calm, and professional. The customer service did not stop after he got our business. He is very responsive to emails and shares your concerns, taking time to explain things when needed. He was very flexible and understanding with us having to postpone our reception due to COVID-19. He was efficient at group portraits on wedding day. His second shooter was friendly and professional and got good shots as well. Turnaround time was fast. I am so happy with our wedding photos and the moments that were captured. I think the classic images will stand the test of time and someday be a cherished heirloom. I can’t wait to work with Chris again for our wedding reception! Choosing Genovese Studios was one of the best decisions I made wedding planning (and I know my photographer dad is happy too).
:)
Chris and his team are awesome and we couldn't be happier with the WHOLE experience! From our very first meeting with him all the way to after the wedding, Chris never skipped a beat. Great communication, super organized and talented! We felt at ease with him knowing we could trust him to capture all of our special moments. Not to mention he's just a super cool guy that you would want to go have a beer with makes it even easier to just be yourself in front of the camera! Definitely recommend Genovese Studios and will for sure be using him for anything else we need in the future. Thanks for everything Chris!
We had our wedding this year on October 31st, 2020, and our engagement photos were done last year in 2019. Chris & his team were always there for the perfect shot, and the video that was put together for us is incredible. We were happy with our choice after the engagement photos, but during the wedding it was another level of service. The quality, and professionalism from them was absolutely spectacular. We highly recommend Chris & his team for your wedding, or any other photography/videography needs you may have!
We are Notably Yours Events, wedding planners in the North Houston area and have had the pleasure of working with Chris on 10/31/2020 at The Luminaire Wedding Venue.
As a wedding planner, communication and logistics are very important and Chris exceeded all expectations prior to the day of and on the wedding day! Our event began off-site at the Co-Cathedral of Sacred Heart and we had the reception at the venue, while Chris and his team traveled to the locations, captured every special moment, and guided the couple and family for photos. We truly recommend Chris and his team and look forward to working with him again in the future!!!
Chris Genovese is by far one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. His attention to detail, professionalism, quality of work, and interpersonal skills really set him apart from the rest. While shooting my portrait, I never felt rushed and he listened to my input about settings and camera angles. At the wedding, he and his assistant caught every important moment. His communication with the client was always timely and detailed with all my questions answered. The finished product is exquisite and demonstrates what an exceptional artist he is. I highly recommend him and, should the need arise, will hire him again!
Chris Genovese Studios was amazing for our wedding. They communicate throughout and are very responsive! The photos taken at our wedding were perfect and exactly what I had envisioned. Definitely would and do recommend them!
We are so happy we hired Genovese Studios to do our wedding and engagement photos. Chris was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. Even during these unprecedented times, he made the process feel so smooth and stress-free. Chris and his team were wonderful at the wedding and made us feel very comfortable. We absolutely LOVED how all of the photos turned out and we were so so happy to see all of the great moments that they were able to capture on camera. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! You will not regret it.
Chris with Genovese Studios was a FANTASTIC photographer to work with for our special day! We searched high and low for a photographer because we knew these photos would be all we would have left to remember our special day and we are so glad we found Chris! His photography packages offer everything you could want/need in wedding photos. He was also very willing to work with our budget and creating a package that matched our needs. The pictures came out wonderful for both our engagement session and wedding! As a couple who had to reschedule due to COVID19 he was also very accommodating and understanding when we had to postpone our date. His assistant on our wedding day was also wonderful as well!
We hired Genovese Studios to capture our wedding (photo/video) and we couldn't have been more pleased! Chris and his team are so easy to work with and we are in love with their style and final product.
Chris took the time to meet with us and it was very evident he really cared about what our vision was, but more importantly, he took the time to create a relationship with us. This made us feel even more comfortable working with them throughout the wedding festivities.
The process from beginning to end was very enjoyable and clear that Chris and his team have a lot of experience doing this. From excellent line of communication to finished product, there were never really any hiccups. And if there were, Chris and his team did an excellent job handling that behind the scenes.
We highly recommend Genovese Studios for any future weddings, you will love Chris and his team! Their work speaks for itself!
Hiring Chris and his team for our wedding day (and my bridal portraits) were easily one of the best decisions we made! They were punctual, professional, and extremely friendly! It's easy to feel awkward when you're constantly posing for pictures on the day of, but his team made us all feel very comfortable. The quality of the photos (and video) has been nothing short of exceptional. I would highly recommend Genovese Studios to anyone looking for a great team to capture the happiest day of your life!
Genovese Studios was probably the best decision that we made in choosing a photography/ videography vendor. From the engagements to the wedding and everything in between, Chris was very professional, prompt. and so easy to work with! On our wedding day, Chris made us feel so comfortable and captured every moment of the day. His work is absolutely incredible and we are so happy with how beautiful the pictures came out. We would recommend Chris to anyone!
We ordered two photographers, one for the groomsmen and another for the bridal party. They were punctual and patient. I appreciated their professionalism throughout the day and into the evening. We got the pictures back and they didn’t miss a thing! They captured the subtleties that told the story that, “love was in air.” We thank them so much.
Genovese Studios was by far the best decision we made when selecting vendors for photography/videography for our wedding! Chris is so nice, helpful, and fun to work with and took the best engagement and wedding photos for us! We were so impressed by the professional staff he brought with him to help capture the wedding day and are so happy with the outcome.
From engagement shoot to the sparkler send off at the wedding, Chris was an absolutely perfect example of what you look for in a wedding photographer. His portfolio is outstanding, he is communicative and helpful, and has tons of experience and advice. He followed my wife and I all the way up to Colorado to capture our day in the mountains and we are so glad he did. As we repeatedly go through the gallery of photos he put together, we are absolutely struck by the happiness, beauty and special moments that Chris and his coworker captured. His photos are pure artwork with just enough editing to make them stand out and speak for thier own, without covering them in layers of artificial color and touch ups. Chris and his help will make suggestions based on thier experience, help keep your wedding day on track, and be a delight to have around the entire time, all for a very competitive and reasonable price!! Genovese Studios is the exact right choice for all of your wedding photography needs!
Chris and his team are superstars! Booking our photographer and videographer was one of the most important decisions that needed to be made very early and booking Genovese Studios did not disappoint! They were polite and professional and the photos were amazing. They didn't miss a moment and that is so important for the day you'll remember for the rest of your life. Thank you for making our day wonderful!
I couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos and wedding photos. Chris Genovese was very professional, polite and made the whole process seamless. He is very responsive and will help in anyway he can. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect photographer.
Chris and his team were amazing to work with! They made everything easy and comfortable. I absolutely love all my pictures and video. I would highly recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you for capturing the best day of my life!
We hired Chris for both photo and videos. I was very impressed with the results. I totally recommend him. Chris was very professional, and very responsive. His team was easy to work with. Weddings are stressful but as soon as I spoke with Chris on the phone, I knew I didn't have to worry about the pictures. His turn around time was excellent and his photos speak for themselves, check out his website. Seriously, you can't go wrong with Genovese studios. If I need a photographer for any other life event, I'll be coming back to him.
Chris and his team were fantastic! They were punctual and professional. The pictures turned out great and I loved how they catalogued my day so looking back through the photos I felt I was experiencing it all again.
The most important vendor for our wedding was the photographer and Chris was beyond AMAZING. He was very easy to contact and work with our schedule. He listened to exactly what we wanted to make sure we were happy with the outcome of the pictures. From my Bridal portraits to our wedding day there truly wasn’t one bad photo! I am so pleased with Chris and that he truly wants the best. We even had a little rain on our day and made it work with no stress on me. Chris was very organized and made sure we stayed on time but never felt rushed. I am glad I went with Genovese Studios and am so thankful for his dedication to our special day.
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2019
Thanks so much Laura, it was truly our pleasure working with all of you and your wedding was beautiful!! We're here to get you anything you need from your wedding photos, and we thank you so much for choosing Genovese Studios!!
Chris and his team were awesome. They were flexible with packages and their schedule. He even split time between our Welcome Dinner and Wedding/Reception. He communicated with us and the point person at our venue, which was very helpful. Chris helped us manage a large number of family photos in a short period of time and although he was never in the way, it felt like he was everywhere! We can’t wait to see the pictures but we are confident Chris and his team did a great job and captured EVERYTHING!
Chris and his team an exceptional in every sense of the word. The entire team made the whole process of photos easy and enjoyable. They are highly professional and personable. At no time were they overbearing or hard to work with. We have already received our engagement photos, and were extremely pleased with the work done. The photos delivered were of very high quality, and easy to download from his website. If you choose, Genovese studios for your wedding/event you will be very happy with your decision.
Super easy to work with, to discuss details, to have fun, to get the job done. He’s a great team player. He was solid all the way through the process. I had a good feeling just talking to him on the phone the first time, and he totally delivered.
For me, my photographer was one of the most important vendors at my wedding. He was the one that was capturing the memories that I would look back on for many years to come. Chris and Genovese Studios did a FABULOUS job on my wedding day! On a day that can be comprised of a lot of chaos, Chris has a demeanor that is patient, calm and collected, but he still has the initiative to get the job done in an effective way. Him and his team were an absolute pleasure to be around. For me, that is a testament to his great character because you don't want to be surrounded by a photographer for 8 hours that you struggle to connect with. The photos that him and his team were able to take were impeccable, to say the least. On top of the posed photos, he was able to get some candid shots that were so meaningful and priceless and could never have been posed. He was always readily available to answer my many (many, many, many) questions, and even at the wedding, he was always present. I never had to worry about where my photographer was or what he was doing. Anytime I turned around to have a photo taken him or a member of his team was there. I wholeheartedly believe in his work, and I would, without hesitation, use him again for other services.
I could not have been more impressed with Chris! He did an amazing job and was so easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions I had. From my bridals to the wedding day, there was zero stress about pictures. I looked around at several photographers but I loved his style and the fact that he was able to capture not only beautiful portraits but TONS of "live action" shots which is what I really wanted. One of the easiest and best decisions I made for our wedding!
Chris was AWESOME! We had so much fun with him and his entire team. Chris was extremely professional and laid back. We had our engagement shoot which allowed us the opportunity to get to know him before our wedding day which we loved. He made us genuinely laugh and we felt so comfortable with him. This made our photos look natural and fun! We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with on our wedding day. Chris and his team showed up on time, were efficient, and made everyone feel at ease. He felt like part of the family which made us really happy and calm! Chris and his entire team did a perfect job of capturing special moments throughout our wedding day. He is very attentive via email and will answer any questions you have. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone getting married! :)
I can’t express enough how happy we were that we chose Chris and Genovese Studios to capture our wedding day. From the very beginning of the process, Chris met with and worked with us to create a package that included all of the photography services we were wanting within our budget. He also kept in touch throughout our engagement and took the time to walk us through the timeline for the day to make sure everything would run smoothly. On the day of the wedding, he made sure that we had pictures of all of the specific shots we were wanting despite some unexpected bad weather and kept us in our timeline. We have so many amazing pictures that captured this day in our loves perfectly and are so grateful for all of the hard work and effort from he and his Team.
My husband and I were so happy with the work that Zach and Chris did for our big day. We were thrilled with our engagement shoot and photos so we knew that we could expect the same quality professionalism and photos for our wedding day. There was no stress working with them and they caught every beautiful moment...even some we missed seeing ourselves! It has been beautiful to relive our wedding and share the photos with friends and family! Thank you Genovese Studios!
Fantastic job dealing with the stress and craziness of the morning of the wedding. While we are taking time getting ready and having fun with friends he was considerate and professional about making sure that we kept to the schedule we had planned to get to the church in time to finish getting ready and so that he could get set up. He was able to work great within the confines of what the church allowed and still captured all the special moments of the day. After the ceremony he was great with organizing everyone and making sure that people were where they needed to be so that my husband and I did not have to try and corral our family and friends. During the reception Chris was able to get tons of great photos while managing to make it feel like he wasn't there. He was always making sure that the shots we wanted were being taken, so that we did not feel like anything was missed. He did an amazing job as well of making sure that we were staying on schedule for getting out of the church and to the reception.
Wow, just wow! Not only is Chris super professional and easy to work it, he genuinely wants to make your day as special as possibly. He was so easy to schedule with which made the day of a breeze regarding photos! The photos were gorgeous! He does a great job of mixing the traditional photos with candid captures. Everyone looks great, the lighting is perfect, and the quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend Genovese Studios for your special day, or any day!
Chris did our engagement shoot, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photos and I just have to say his pictures are crystal clear, full of drama and emotion, and he was just such a pleasure to work with!! He was very personable and fun. He's always sending e-mails to make sure you have all the resources and information you need to be prepared for your shoots, which I appreciate so much! You can tell he's really put a lot of time into making his clients happy. I was also so impressed with the way he handled our wedding day. My bridesmaids and I have a certain sense of humor and he caught on and fit right in! He was very organized regarding what shots to get and when to get them. He did a fantastic job getting my large family together to quickly take group photos. He always makes sure to communicate with you and ask you if there are any other shots you want to take. He's open to any poses in any place. All in all, GREAT guy. I can say the important things you want in a photographer such as professionalism, reliability, and courtesy are all there with Chris. And his price range is SUPER REASONABLE. What really drew me to Chris were his crystal clear shots. Blurry pictures are one of my biggest pet peeves, especially professional pictures! So a big thank you, Chris Genovese, for making our forever pictures so perfect.
I am so lucky to get Chris and his team as my wedding photographer. He and his team were very professional. The compositions were excellent and the color tone were very nature. All our family and friends love his work, he did capture the unforgettable moment in that beautiful day. I highly recommend his team for both photos and video.
Chris and his assistant were so professional. Chris made the whole process so easy and has an awesome website you can log into to view everything and order anything after. My photos came out so beautiful! What I loved the most was that he was not like some other photographers I’ve seen at weddings that block everyone’s view and get in everyone’s way. He was able to capture awesome shots without being overly intrusive which made our ceremony feel much more intimate. So much so that when I was looking at the pictures I said to my husband when did they even take that? But I must say when I did want a specific picture with a specific person they were never far away and super accommodating! I highly recommend Chris for all your photography needs!
Chris was awesome to work with! He has a fun, but also very professional attitude. Throughout the process, from start to finish, he was very responsive and incredibly easy to communicate with. On the day of our wedding, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable. Most importantly, his work is absolutely beautiful! In addition to the quality of his pictures, he did a great job of scouting great locations and angles. He documented everything, and captured all of the details, story lines, and emotions of the day. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a truly top-notch photographer!
We used Chris Genovese for our wedding day pictures. I am so happy our wedding planner recommended him! He is down to earth, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made the process of getting large family photos accomplished easy and quick so we could enjoy the day. It happened to be unexpectedly cold in the afternoon of our wedding and Chris and his assistant were awesome in developing a plan to get some quick outdoor shots before we all froze. Those outdoor shots of downtown Houston and in front of our wedding venue are some of my favorites.
And we did not have to wait months to get our pictures back either, even though we had him for 10 hours of photography. They came back super quick. Lots of photos and they ALL came out wonderful! I get to relive the entire day whenever I look at them!
We had narrowed down our choice for our wedding photographer to two and after speaking with Chris on the phone, it was clear who we needed to choose. Chris was very genuine and honest and he took the time out to talk to us about what made Genovese Studios different from the other photographers. I also liked that he was flexible enough to arrange a custom package that was to our liking and cost-effective. On the day of the wedding, Chris and Zach were extremely pleasant and helpful. We really didn't know much about how to pose, but both of them guided us gently and eased our anxieties about how the day would progress. The photos turned out great and we were really impressed by their skills and quality of their work. Highly recommend them!
Hiring Chris as my photographer for my wedding was the absolute best decision that I could have made. Not only did he deliver beautiful pictures for my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding, but he was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I felt at ease with him from the first time we met him. And we actually had a lot of fun working with him throughout our wedding process! Living in Houston, but getting married in Baton Rouge, Chris was very flexible with his schedule and was able to travel with me to Baton Rouge for both my bridal portraits and my wedding. I was extremely happy with every set of pictures he has sent me, and with so many great ones, I am having trouble choosing my favorites! Chris, thank you so much for capturing all of my wedding festivities so perfectly!! I absolutely love all my photos and cant recommend him and his team enough!!
Amazing!!! Chris was our photographer for our engagements, bridals and wedding. We could not have been happier with all of the photos he took for us. He made us feel so comfortable and captured moments we didn't see! I would recommend Genovese in a heart beat!!!!
For our wedding, the absolute most important vendor choice was the photographer. We couldn't have made a better pick than Chris. It wasn't just the value - though that certainly made the choice simpler. It was the easy chemistry Chris had with us as clients and the absolutely gorgeous photos we ended up with. We had already taken engagement photos, so I had a bridals session with Chris and those also turned out better than I could've dreamed.
One of my favorite aspects of working with Chris (and Zach at the wedding) was how relaxed they made you feel. There was no stress, no pressure, and there were plenty of laughs. Chris was so helpful, so patient, and so responsive during the planning process. Especially when it came to the many photo requests my family and I put forward for him on the wedding day. I simply couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Chris did our engagement photos as well as the wedding day. He was incredibly helpful in the preparation for the wedding, looking at the timeline and making suggestions. It helps to have someone who regularly experiences weddings give feedback on the details since we had never done this before! He took all of our requests and ran with them and came in with ideas of his own as well. The engagements were beautiful and I cannot wait to see the wedding photographs!
Genovese Studios was the best all the way around. Very easy to deal with and made my day seamlessly and easy. My photos came out fantastic including bridals. They captured every moment
Chris/Genovese Studios encompasses that critical combination of laid back and confident , while simultaneously being a good listener and capturing those golden shots. He is easy to have around, and is incredibly thoughtful and communicative throughout the wedding process. For example, I am not a fan of having my photograph taken and do not enjoy the list of obligatory family photos (even while knowing they are necessary). Chris heard my resistance to the obligatory photo sessions, organized them to move quickly (and they were even a little fun), and then helped us get back to the wedding party-- where he amazingly captured the more meaningful, live moments of the event. The photos are out of this world. I can't say enough about Chris' intuition and ease with the moments and shots that matter on the wedding day. Do not hesitate to work with Genovese Studios.
Kim and her associate were extremely professional. They were very attentive to my concerns throughout the entire engagements session and leading up to "the big day". My photographs are breathtaking! The team captured my most cherish-able moments and I am forever grateful. I would recommend this vendor. Truly worth your hard earned money.
Kim and her team were absolutely incredible. From our first phone call, we felt so comfortable with them. Things were a whirlwind the day of our wedding, but they managed to get in every photo combination we were looking for in record time. On top of it, the photos are flawless! You can't even tell it was 90 degrees and 100% humidity out there. They captured such magical moments all night and were such a delight to work with! I could not recommend them more!
Genovese Studios makes the impossible, possible! Everything I wanted from my photographer happened with this team. Chris is always available to answer questions or make suggestions. The experience this team has is incredible. In many ways Chris doubled as my reception coordinator for my wedding night. After I told him how I wanted the night to go (order of dances, cake, etc.) he helped me make it happen. He was still my photographer first! Chris and his assistant captured many important memories from that night. My husband and I can’t wait to do our After-Wedding session with him next week!
Chris and his team were so easy to work with for my engagement shoot, bridal shoot and wedding. I was very impressed with the final pictures and how easy going and flexible he was with the many specific photos I wanted, including working with our crazy dogs. Communication was great as well and even went above and beyond for our engagement shoot when unexpected things came up out of our control but he knew how special that time was for us and gave us beautiful pictures to look back on. Thank you for making this all a beautiful dream to remember! I highly recommend Chris's team!
I can't say enough good things about Genovese Ashford Studios! Chris Genovese took our Engagement Photos, did my Bridal Portraits, and photographed our Wedding and Reception. Everything was beautiful. We don't feel very photogenic but Chris made us look amazing. Chris took his time and helped us create incredible memories.
Genovese Ashford Studios did a great job with our wedding!! They had great attention to detail to make sure they captured the whole night for us. My husband and I are both from big families and had alot of variables when it came to getting the pictures taken. They were very organized and knew exactly what pictures to take and where everyone needed to be. It was great not having to stress about getting everyone in place!!!
The whole Genovese Ashford team is awesome! They are very professional yet extremely friendly and easy to work with. Jennifer and DJ photographed our wedding, and all the pictures are beautiful! They are both easy going and rolled right along with all the craziness of the day.
The online portal is extremely user friendly! With all the stress of planning a wedding, I never felt any anxiety about my pictures. The team really provides a seamless process!
I can't say enough about how absolutely wonderful Genovese Ashford Studios is!! From the very first conversation I had with Chris Genovese, I knew his company was the right fit for mine and my husbands wedding photographer! He did our engagement pictures a couple of months before our wedding, and he made us feel so comfortable the entire time! He had an eye for certain locations & the lighting that was impressive! He was so laid back and genuine. He even allowed us to bring our two 80-90lb dogs for a couple of shots! My husband was so impressed with our decision! Our wedding day was even more perfect & thanks to him & Jenny, our day was captured beautifully! Jenny was just as amazing and so easy to work with! Not only was she providing exceptional photography, but she was so sweet to continuously check in with me & make sure I didn't need anything prior to my ceremony! I highly recommend Genovese Ashford Studios! You will not regret it! They are beyond amazing!! Great photographers & even better people! I can't Thank them enough!
Chris was absolutely amazing during our entire wedding preparation! Since the very first day we booked him he was always available for help and easy to get in touch with. He made everything so easy for us and we never had to stress! We both immediately felt at ease shooting our engagement photos with him. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera...but we had absolutely no trouble at all with Chris. He allowed us to be ourselves and encouraged us to just have fun! Chris is very organized, professional, and is an extremely calming presence which was very much appreciated. He made our engagement photos and wedding day go by smoothly without any trouble. Not only did he capture everything we wanted on our wedding day, but he was able to give us wonderful memories to last forever. I would highly recommend Genovese Ashford for your wedding photography!
