Genovese Studios

commodated 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.

olor 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). :)

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!

ur 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!

s 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!!!

ushed 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 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.

e 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!

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!

s 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!

ding 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!

hing! They captured the subtleties that told the story that, “love was in air.” We thank them so much.

ed by the professional staff he brought with him to help capture the wedding day and are so happy with the outcome.

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!

otos 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!

for the perfect photographer.

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.

es. 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.

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!

ady 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.

d.

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.

l 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!

s 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! :)

vices 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.

as 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!

ned 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.

e 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!

ways 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.

rgettable moment in that beautiful day. I highly recommend his team for both photos and video.

ot 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!

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!

k 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!

ese 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!

y 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!!

in a heart beat!!!!

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!

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!

hroughout 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.

s and I am forever grateful. I would recommend this vendor. Truly worth your hard earned money.

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!

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!

ur 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!

made us look amazing. Chris took his time and helped us create incredible memories.

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!!!

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!

t 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!

ediately 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!

t a questionnaire and requested certain pictures. Not all of them were captured but I did get some great shots. Overall I'd recommend him.

He was extremely kind, courteous, professional, and flexible to our requests. He is also a great guy to just talk to and to witness his joy for photography is also a bonus! He created comfortable and natural environments and positioning for shots and we didn't feel stressed or "forced" into weird "poses". He is a must hire! By the way, that's coming from the Groom. My wife has even more good things to say!

otography is beautiful both indoors and outdoors and he truly listens to what you want to get out of your pictures. We knew he would be great to work with after seeing my brother in law's wedding and were blown away by the pictures he took. I highly recommend Chris for your big day and you will not be disappointed.

we will be cherishing these photos for a life time.

t flashes in your face. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. Our photographer was the most important vendor in my opinion, and I am so glad we picked Genovese Ashford.

gagements, bridals and wedding day photos would turn out impeccable. I highly recommend Genovese-Ashford!

, but there was nothing but respect for us, our family, and our love from the GenoveseAshford team. We did engagement photos with him along with our day of and we could not be happier. He and his team were able to capture so many wonderful moments and everything worked out so smoothly throughout our day (we literally did not notice where they were). Also, compared to other wedding packages, their prices were very reasonable and they certainly delivered on quality. We will be calling Chris back for any and all future photo shoots with our growing family! I can't recommend them enough!

gement photo shoot and knew the photos would turn out beautiful. He was so easy to work with, punctual, personable, organized, talented, and answered ANY question – we weren’t even sure how to cut our wedding cake and before he took the photos he motioned how we were supposed to do it. ☺ It is amazing how perfect the photos look, especially with how chaotic your wedding day is. We cannot stop looking at the photos and have received nothing but compliments from others on the wedding photos. Highly recommend Chris Genovese and team!

, accommodating, prompt, and most importantly, enthusiastic about and amazing at what they do. We loved all of our pictures!! They did such a great job capturing every special moment at our wedding! We will definitely use them in the future for other events.

sonable, and want to do what is best for their customer. The prices are unbeatable and they are true professionals with years of experience. I recommend them to anyone!!!

new exactly what we were going to get. We didn't actually meet him in person until our engagements but he was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot despite having just met. Those pictures were amazing and the work he and Lauren did for our wedding were absolutely stunning! I can't stop looking at the pictures; every time I go through them I love them more and more. They were able to capture every important moment of our day without being in the way. You will hardly know he's there! You can feel the emotions of the day through the photographs. We couldn't have asked for better and can't thank them enough! We loved working with him so much we recommended him to my brother-in-law and his fiance, so we have the pleasure of seeing Chris again in January! All in all, if you want beautiful pictures and a photographer with a fantastic personality, look no further. This is it.

ent photos, my bridals and our wedding day. My husband and I live in Chicago but are from Houston so decided to have our wedding in Houston as it was much more convenient for our friends and family (plus I wanted a winter wedding which is not ideal in Chicago). Needless to say traveling back and forth for wedding planning and pictures was quite a challenge and we both had very restrictive schedules, but Chris was so flexible and accommodating and happily worked around our busy schedules. He even shot my bridals the week of Thanksgiving since it was the only time I could be in town before the wedding but after my dress was finished in alterations. We were very happy with our engagement photos and they made for a great save the date! What ultimately convinced me that I had chosen the right photographer was when I saw my bridal portraits. I have never liked how I photograph (regardless of what other people tell me) so I was nervous about having so many individual pictures of myself and was worried that no matter how beautiful my dressed looked I would still not love how I looked. Well, I could not have been more wrong. I can honestly say I loved every single one of my bridal portraits, they were gorgeous! I don’t know how Chris did it, but I could not have been happier. The pictures showed off my dress, veil and bouquet beautifully but also captured my personality too. As far as the wedding, Chris and his assistant were just as great then. I have pictures of every single significant moment and didn’t even notice them during the ceremony but the pictures were all wonderful and really captured all the emotions and fun of the wedding. We ended up with over 700 from the wedding and narrowing it down to 100 for an album was beyond difficult. My mother has already ordered some portraits and an album and the turn-around time is so quick compared to what I expected which is great and the quality is great too. We had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Chris and Genovese Ashford Studios to any couple for their wedding!

d took our engagement pictures. He put up with my requests of places where I wanted the pictures taken and did a fabulous job catching our pictures before the sun went down. He was very patient with me in creating the timeline and worked with my wedding planner and myself until we got the timeline of the wedding day perfect. On the day of my wedding- they also did an amazing job. They showed up on time, made sure we were on schedule, and captured the events of the day. You almost didn't know they were there sometimes as they stayed out of the way and focused on capturing each part of the day....the getting ready, the ceremony and the reception. We were blown away when we got our pictures back. I love all of them and I wouldn't have changed a thing! My only problem now is choosing only a select handful to put in an album. Thanks Chris and Lauren!

hotos turned out awesome. He's also respectful, well-dressed, and not intrusive in the least. I have great photos of our families having fun on the dance floor (apparently not noticing him or his second shooter), and he kept everything on time! We would absolutely use Genovese-Ashford Studios again--no reason to look at other photographers!

. The quality and attention to detail is really unbelievable! We are able to get the perfect snap shot of our wedding and all of the amazing feelings, emotions, and memories that we had that night were captured in our pictures. Everyone who has seen our photos has absolutely loved them. Matthew and I would definitely recommend them to all family and friends and to any future bride and groom. Great photographers and so much fun to work with! :)

and made hours of being photographed very easy for two non-photogenic people! I couldn't be more pleased with my choice of wedding photographers, and I would recommend Genovese Ashford to anyone I know!

ken of me (professional selfie-taker, admittedly) and he helped me to feel comfortable in front of the camera for the first time in my life. My only regret is that I didn't book him for a bridal session (already saving up for a post-dated shoot, I love our photos THAT much!!!) He was down for all of our ideas concerning the engagement shoot in the Heights and is very versatile in any location. Our wedding was very diy- he provided guidance and suggestions that were super helpful and resulted in fantastic shots. They were even up for shooting the metal band that played our wedding! Those ended up being some of our best memories of the evening and I'm so happy to see they were enjoying themselves while doing such amazing work. He was our favorite part of getting married besides, you know, the whole being in love and finding your soulmate thing. I want Chris to shoot my entire life, I cannot recommend Genovese-Ashford highly enough! Everyone is raving about these photos! THANK YOU!!!

posed photos were the best we've ever seen. Kim and Jennifer not only captured our wedding day perfectly, they helped the day run smoothly. I was nervous about my veil falling, Jennifer stepped in and helped stick in a few more bobby pins. We had a short amount of time to get ceremony pictures, they got every family picture we wanted and made it work. It rained as we were leaving the church, they turned it into a fun photo op and even let us use their umbrella! At the reception, they were in stealth mode- we were having so much fun, and we are so thankful that they didn't try to stop us for photo ops or poses. They captured the raw beauty, excitement, and love in the air that day, and we are so grateful!!

rofessional at the same time. Chris at Genoverse Ashford did just that. From the very beginning when I met with Chris, he was very easy going, personable and passionate about his job. He showed me some of his work and their candid style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. On the day of the wedding, Chris and his assistant Lauren even went to the venue earlier than the expected time to check out the place, which just shows how professional and dedicated they are. The pictures turned out more perfect than we would ever imagine. Not just me, all our friends and families also complimented so much on the pictures and how our photographer really knew how to capture the moment. Thank you SO much Chris and Lauren for capturing these special memories on our wedding. We highly recommend Genovese Ashford Studios and would vouch for them without a doubt!!

and easy to work with and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Houston area.
