My husband and I hired Chris for our wedding after seeing his work in Chicago Bride magazine. I was really looking for someone who did more editorial work and less staged, pose-y s...
hots. I did not want anything corny! Chris Ocken was exactly what we were looking for. He had a great personality, was warm and friendly, and made us laugh. He made it clear he knew what he was doing, and also that he had a great time doing it.
Our package included an engagement photo session, which was great. The day of our wedding, he brought along an assistant, Mona, who was also fabulous. Having seen all the photos, I am so beyond thrilled with my choice to hire Ocken Photography.
Truly, I don't think we could have asked for more from a wedding photographer! Professional, fun, easy to work with easily describe Chris and his assistant that day, Leigh. Not onl...
y were they constantly taking pictures but they were offering to grab me a glass of water or whatever!
We chose to do our photos before the ceremony and I was very impressed as they had come early and "scouted" some locations for us. They had ideas I hadn't even thought of! They were very easy to work with, making us laugh and smile, attempting to get us to be serious so we got all the pictures we wanted! During the ceremony I couldn't even tell you where they were they were so discrete but clearly got all of the traditional photos. They were literally with us every step of the way, but never in our way!
We received our pictures back two weeks after the wedding and they were everything and more that we could have dreamed of. Our pictures are easy to access and we were able to quickly send them around to our family and friends for them to view. Included in our package is an artists book and a high-def CD which I cannot wait to get back.
I will be using Ocken Photography for any and all future photographer needs I have!
