About This Vendor
Rain or Shine - We Capture the Moment
Hello! My name is Chris Stiles from Photography Stiles. I run a full time premium wedding and portrait photography business located in Rocky Hill, Connecticut serving the Tri-State and New England. My skillset isn't just photographing but ranges from helping the wedding venue coordinator make a game time decision on rain for your outdoor ceremony, (I have fancy/nifty paid radar apps because I'm also a degreed Meteorologist). We only accept 30 couples per year due to the quality and care we take with each wedding. What does this actually mean? I'm not going to bore you with some of the awards I've been selected for along this journey, as the reviews from our wonderful couples paint a better picture of what to expect me (check them out). If there is something I tell other photographers starting their own path, it's actively listening is everything. You the couple are unique and want to make your wedding custom to your own style and personality. It's my job to help you make that happen and capture your family, friends, and love in a photo for a lifetime.

When you click 5 stars above, it says "The Best Ever!" That is totally Chris. We first met at a Wedding show at the Oakdale, he and his wife were at the show and I was impressed with their booth. Their personalities were so down to earth and f...
un, and after I started following Photography Stiles on Instagram it was all history. He is exactly like his is in his reels, dorky, knowledgeable, funny, smart, and very personable. From the start he was very focused on what we wanted to see when we looked over everything. Leading up to the wedding we were experiencing the first stretch of Covid and he was so helpful in setting a backup date and working through all the twists and turns that was 2020/2021. When our backup date came near we did a walk through since he had never been to the location of our wedding, The New Haven Lawn Club. There are so many spots to take photos that we geeked out about them all. When the day came I had complete trust in his work and experience, and he did not disappoint. That day we had so much fun with him and Jen, we basically thought of them as part of the party. We had so much fun taking photos with them. They were warm and welcoming to all our family and friends.
When the photos came I cried, they were beyond amazing. There were so many favorites. He went above and beyond with the photos and the number of photos he gave us. We then worked together for the albums, ours and parent albums and he was again so professional and supportive of any changes and questions we had. 10 out of 10 stars over the top amazing! I wish I could have another wedding to hire all my vendors again!
We can not say enough amazing things about Chris! From our first conversation he put us at ease that we would be in good hands. He communicated with us and made sure we were all on the same page prior to our wedding. Then, Chris and Jen were...
both amazing on the day of our wedding. We felt at ease so we were comfortable during portraits, and Chris even stayed late when we wanted additional photos during the reception. We got our sneak peak and entire album quickly and LOVE the photos! Would definitely recommend Chris to anyone!
Chris was professional and incredibly professional. From the day we got our engagement pictures done, we knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. And boy did we make the right choice. Our wedding photos are phenomenal. Chris captured my hu...
sband and I perfectly. He was willing to work with our dogs, which was very important to us. He was easy to get along with; after only meeting him a handful of times, we felt like we were friends. My husband loathes photos, but he actually had a good time during our engagement and wedding photos, and you can tell in them. These are what we have to remember our wedding with for the rest of our lives, and I’m so glad we picked Chris to document this for us.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! I was always a big believer that everything happens for a reason and working with him proved that to be true. I plan weddings for a living and when it was time to plan my own I originally booked ...
another photographer. Well, thanks to covid we ended up postponing twice and ended up with a date that our first photographer wasn’t available for. Enter Chris! I had worked a wedding with him a couple years prior and was so impressed with his professionalism, easy going personality, and of course the beautiful photos that he took- that I knew he was the right photographer for us. He put up with all my calls freaking out about covid and my big crazy family and made it look effortless. Not to mention he got all of our photos back to us in three weeks (which is basically unheard of)! If you are looking for a photographer who takes stunning photos and is an absolute pleasure to work with- look no further!
Chris and team were AMAZING! From the very beginning Chris was warm, welcoming and very responsive to any questions or concerns my husband and I had. The day of our wedding, Chris and team flawlessly wrangled our bridal party and family for po...
rtraits, without affecting the mood or atmosphere of the day. One of the best decisions I made for our wedding and the photos are truly gorgeous!
Chris was everything we were hoping to find in a photographer and more. From day one we could tell how professional, attentive, and supportive he was. From the portraits down to the weather decisions, he made everything easy. Leading up to our ...
day, Chris provided us with a planner so that we were able to specify all the shots we wanted, and to make sure that everyone was on the same page about our day-of timeline. He answered our many questions and gave us guidance regarding our wedding day forecast (it was supposed to rain all week!). On the day-of, he was on time, prepared, and efficient! He worked through our entire portrait list without us having to worry about anything, and captured so many special, candid moments. Chris was also so quick to return our photos- without compromising quality whatsoever. The moments he captured are beautiful, and will be hanging all over our house for the years to come. We can’t thank Chris enough for all of his hard work and incredible skill. We HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding day!
My husband and I both full heartedly agree that choosing Photography Stiles was our best wedding planning decision. From the very first phone call with Chris, he was so kind and so focused. In person, his laid back energy immediately calmed us ...
during our engagement session. (Which was SO much fun.) After meeting him, and seeing his beautiful work, we knew we needed his talent and humor on our wedding day as well.
In the months leading up to the wedding, he was always quick to answer emails and offer assistance. Also love the ease of his online platform to make payments and view our photos as well. We so appreciate that he took the time to get to know us and our tastes before the wedding too.
On our wedding day he was beyond amazing. Chris, and his second shooter Jen beautifully captured every moment of that long, and special day, while also helping to coordinate the entire time! So grateful for the extra care and effort they both put in to help ensure everything went smooth.
And of course, forever thankful for our beautiful photos. So many came out absolutely stunning. The mix of arsty shots and traditional portraits was exactly what I was hoping for.
We SO highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, personable, hardworking, beyond amazing photographer.
Also recommend following him on instagram, where you'll find beautiful photos, weather info, and get some good laughs :)
Thank you so very much!
Chris is the absolute best photographer you can ask for when it comes to your special day. He is talented, smart, laid back, and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way! His skills are so outstanding I was blown away by most photos we ...
got back after our wedding. He is truly a kind person and worked with our schedule every time we needed to meet with him! He will guide you thoroughly through every picture if you are new to the camera and tell you the funniest jokes to capture some amazing shots! I absolutely loved working with him and cannot recommend him enough!
From the very first phone call, I could tell that Chris was kind, experienced, and had the exact photography style we were looking for. He did such an amazing job capturing fun reception shots, the most beautiful moments of our church ceremony,...
and the happiness on everyone's faces in between. He was so calm and professional to work with on our wedding day, and our family couldn't believe how well he just blended in and captured special moments without interrupting. I am absolutely thrilled with our pictures after receiving our digital gallery and cannot wait to start ordering prints!! I highly recommend Photography Stiles!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you Megan for every single word here! I love to hear all of this, especially the comments about your family and feeling that I blended in without interrupting. There is such a fine line to get those moments in photos without being in the ...
way. Thank you again for all of this, and I can't wait to get your album design in the works. You and Dave are clearly meant for each other and it shows!
Chris was exceptional to work with for my wedding this past July. He was not only professional, but very personable and made my family, my bridal party, my husband, and myself feel extremely comfortable while he took formal and candid photos th...
roughout the day! He made my husband and I feel great while taking photos (something I was worried about since we have never done a photo shoot with a professional), and his second photographer was just as easy going! I cannot recommend him enough!!! He was excellent!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so, so much for this amazing review Carina! I am thrilled to hear I was able to make you guys feel comfortable throughout as it was a worry for you. It's such a huge part of this career that I take very seriously! Your husband and ent...
ire wedding party cracked me up the entire time. I walked away at the end of the night forgetting that this is technically "work" for me because it was so much fun! I wish the best for you and Elijah!
I am absolutely a "Googler!" I found Chris simply google "photographer," who actually met and exceeded all of our expectations. I have a lot of friends who are professional photographers, and my standards are very high. It was important to me ...
to have someone that made my husband comfortable (awkward photos are the worst!), who listened to my wants & needs, and who could capture incredible images. I’m glad that we did an engagement session last November with Chris before our wedding to get to know each other more and be that much more comfortable. Not only are his images stunning, but his editing and colorwork are more than excellent. The worst part of the process has to choose which photos to print and turn into an album because there are hundreds of incredible photos. I’d highly recommend working with Chris!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so much for all your kind words Yeantying! Having the opportunity to meet you and Joe was simply amazing, and you two clearly are meant for each other. You can see your happiness shine through in all of the photos! I specifically love...
to hear how happy you are with the not only the experience but the color work and editing as well. I wish nothing but the best for you and Joe!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Chris is! Our engagement session pictures came out better than I could have ever expected and make me SO excited to see what our wedding pictures look like. Chris is so kind and his love for what he does sh...
ines through during every single stage of the process. He gives you tips and tricks and talks you through everything while also keeping you relaxed enough that the pictures feel and look authentically you. I couldn't recommend Chris enough. If you haven't hired him for your wedding yet - RUN!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you Krissy, as I have to say I absolutely love your last word in this review, RUN! Haha this is truly a wonderful review to say the least, and photographing you and Ryan was just a blast. Your beautiful personalities just came right throu...

Working with Chris was a phenomenal experience. Living out of state, we encountered many travel issues and ended up doing our engagement session a year later than we initially intended (and after our actual wedding!). Chris was a trooper throu...
gh all of the rescheduling (and his weather knowledge was so helpful!!). We just got our album back and love the photos! I 100% recommend using Chris as your photographer.
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you Valerie, especially for using the word phenomenal!! We definitely had our challenges (if that's the word) during 2020 getting this scheduled, but I'm happy we were able to make it happen. Meeting you two was wonderful and I truly enjo...
yed the entire session! Also thank you for the weather knowledge shout out, it comes in handy quite a bit!!
We could not have picked a better photographer to work with! Chris was willing to work with us to create our package to capture our bridal photos. We shared the vibes we were going for and everything he captured was more than we could have hope...
d for! He got to know us ahead of time and we felt so comfortable with him and in front of the camera.
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so much Samantha for all these kind words! I'm so happy to hear that you had what you envisioned come to life in the photographs. Getting to know you guys was half the fun, and I hope you're both doing well in your many travels!
We had a great time working with Chris! From the first phone conversation we had, we had the strong feeling that both our personalities and our desired style was a great match. We were not sure what to expect from the engagement session, but Ch...
ris was extremely helpful in helping us to feel comfortable. In both this session and at our wedding, it became clear that while Chris certainly has a plan, he is prepared to utilize all of his knowledge to adapt to the conditions that are available at the time. He was extremely responsive throughout the process and it was more valuable than we expected to have a photographer with such a detailed understanding of weather data! We would recommend Chris to anyone!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so much Travis! It's such a big deal for me to make sure all the couples I work with feel comfortable as that is everything in wedding/engagement photography! Also glad that I can use my Meteorological knowledge to make sure we don't ...
get caught in the rain while photographing the bride far from cover :) Thank you again!!
It is not every day I feel compelled to write a review for a fellow wedding photographer. However, through my experiences working for Chris and watching him photograph his couples first hand, I had to. Chris is timely, detail oriented, and take...
s genuine care of his couples. He provides posing guidance that embraces the essence of his couples without it feeling overly posed. He organizes bridal parties and families with a leadership style that is organized and effective and leaves everyone feeling confident. Not only is he kind and attentive to his couples, he treats your other wedding vendors well (this. is. huge.). From your coordinator to florist and your justice of the peace to your DJ. He stays aligned with every vendor to ensure your day runs as well as it possibly can. And the resulting images. They are clean, emotive, and truly capture the essence of your big day. From another photographer to all of you - hire Photography Stiles for your big day. You will NOT regret it.
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for your kind words Jennifer! This kind of feedback is beyond wonderful to hear. Part of keeping it all together is having a dependable co-worker alongside the wedding, and that is 120% you! Than...
k you again!
Our session with Chris was absolutely amazing! It was our first time doing a photo session like this (my fiancé and I), and Chris could tell we were nervous. I didn’t even realize I was showing my nerves until he said gently, “take a deep breat...
h and relax your shoulders, you got this!”. It was so so appreciated and we took off from there. His direction was so wonderful and it generated flawless photos.
I loved the story like scenarios he would set for us to get us into the poses. My favorite was when he got us ready for a traditional “piggy back” phot and he was setting the scene for us, it reminded my fiancé and I of our third date when he gave my a piggy back ride trudging in the snow because I wasn’t wearing proper footwear! It was so nice to revisit those memories. Thank you so much Chris!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so much Emma! I can't tell you how happy my words helped you out. I'll always preach the most important thing a photographer can do at an engagement session is to help your couples feel relaxed, and themselves. Good photos turn to gre...
at photos once we hit that! Again it was a blast working with you guys!
Chris was literally the best! I met him and his wife kelly last February at a wedding show and I wasn’t looking for a photographer but I was open to seeing others work. I loved Chris’ style and he and his wife are SO friendly and SO easy to wo...
rk with! We had our engagement photos that June and my fiancée and I were so nervous but we immediately felt comfortable with Chris. I just had my wedding in May 2021 and Chris was just a joy to work with! I highly (11/10 ) recommend Stiles Photography for your wedding photographer! I plan to use Chris again in the future! :)
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2021
Thank you Mary and Eddie for the 11/10 review!! I appreciate it so much that you took the time out of your day to write this review, it means the world to me. You guys had SUCH a fun wedding crew. That dance floor was really moving! Again thank...
you so much and hope to see you guys soon!
We had the best experience with our engagement session. We have never had professional pictures taken but a few minutes in and Chris had us feeling relaxed and having a great time. We LOVE our photos SO much. We haven't stopped looking at them ...
and have received so many compliments on them. The pictures came out better than we ever imagined. We are so happy we went with Chris and feel so confident knowing we will have the most amazing wedding photos too. :) Chris has been so easy to communicate with and provided helpful tips for finding a location for pictures, and a guide with suggestions for coordinating our outfits! Would 100% recommend Chris to any and everyone.
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2021
Thank you very much Kelsey and Spenser for your amazing review! Your engagement session went so well that I walked away feeling like it was more of a hangout with new friends versus my "job," haha! Looking forward to photographing your big wedd...
ing day next!
Chris and Kelley were an amazing team and delivered beautiful wedding photos for us! From the beginning, their planning process was super smooth. They worked with us throughout the pandemic uncertainty but luckily we did not have to change our ...
date. During the wedding they helped keep our day-of schedule on track, which I was really grateful for. We decided to do all of the photos before the Ceremony and they helped us plan timing for all of it. They knew where to go and when so all I had to do was follow them. Super simple! Afterwards, they delivered our photos and they are really beautiful. We got a TON of pictures. I'm still going through all of them over a week after they sent them back to us. Great customer service too. Highly recommended that you book them for your event!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2021
Thank you SO much Steph! I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the kind words, and thorough review. We couldn't be any more lucky that you two put your trust in us for such a special day in your life!
We just got our engagement pictures back and they not only exceeded our expectations, but they blew them out of the water! We were nervous about the session because we both lean towards awkward when taking pictures. Chris was so fun to work wit...

Thank you so much Ashley for this unbelievable review! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to fill it out. You guys did awesome!!
We had the best time taking engagement pictures with Chris! We don’t love having pictures taken of us but he made us feel totally comfortable the whole time (from our first phone call to the shoot to receiving our pictures). He had creative ide...

Thank you so much for the kind feedback Hailey! You two made it so easy to get great photos, you had absolutely nothing to worry about. I truly enjoyed meeting you guys and your awesome doggo!
If you are looking to hire a genuinely nice person to photograph your wedding, Chris is your guy. He has been so easy to work with and very accommodating through every phase of the wedding process (pre-wedding through post-wedding). He does a g...
reat job of making you and your wedding feel like a priority.
Response from the Vendor on 05/20/2021
Thank you so much Jamie for taking the time to share this! I really appreciate your kind words, and was honored that you guys choose me as your wedding photographer. You both are kind souls inside and out!
Chris was so much fun to work with! We were definitely nervous for our engagement photo shoot as we both can be a tad bit awkward in photos sometimes! You can see how awkward we felt in our first photo and then there's a rapid progression of us...
feeling more and more comfortable as Chris walked us through the shoot and even shared some tips about photography. He was always super polite and nice! We love our photos and honestly its going to be tough to pick which ones to frame/use for save the dates/etc. He picked a beautiful spot to do the session (Harkness Park), had a plan for if it drizzled (and planned to reschedule if it poured), and also let us do an outfit change halfway through! It was like getting two sessions in one :) Finally, my fiancé usually lets us take all of three photographs together before he's "done" but with Chris he actually had some fun!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thank you so much Meaghan for all this feedback! I'm so happy to hear that I was able to give you guys an awesome experience throughout. Getting everyone comfortable is the most important part of the engagement session, so If I can get that I'v...
e done my job! Can't wait to photograph you guys at the wedding!!
Chris was an absolute genius when he took these pictures. He made the mood very relaxing, not unsettling at all!! I would recommend Chris to anyone that would be looking for an amazing photographer!!
I first met Chris at a bridal expo and his booth was SWAMPED with people. Despite not having a chance to talk to him right away, I couldnt wait to to back and talk to him. Within minutes of finally getting to meet him, I knew this was the photo...
grapher that would fit perfectly into our wedding day! I went home yelling to my now husband "I found our photographer!" Once showing him his website, he said "well what are you waiting for? Go message him before he picks someone else with our date!"
As fate would have it, Chris and Kelley were booked with us only a few short days later! Now I would call our engagement period/wedding planning year a whole lot more complicated than most. Between having to change venues, the loss of my husband's grandmother, cue COVID, and an illness with both of my grandparents, Chris and Kelley were never more than an email, phone call or video chat away. They were always ready to listen to our latest situation, offer advice or solve any problem and be more than ready for us through what felt like a million plan changes with nothing short of welcome arms and a smile on their faces.
Over the last year, Chris and Kelley became more of an extension of our family. The day of our wedding, they were nothing short of perfectly amazing. I was so excited to see them when they arrived and they were so skilled, that I think I heard the camera click only once throughout the entire day. They took the most beautiful photos and somehow were never in the way of anything that we did. We just received our pictures and I honestly cried happy tears the entire time. Our photos are STUNNING. They captured our emotions and the love of everyone that was there so beautifully and perfectly. When I look at these pictures, I see nothing but the true inner light and spirit of everyone there that we love.
Chris and Kelley are unmatchable. They are the best of the best. Do not hesitate to want to include them in your big day, I guarantee you wont be disappointed in anything they do.
They will forever be our family's photographer and I cannot wait to have a reason to see them again!
Thank you Chris and Kelley for making our planning process less painful, thank you for being there for us unconditionally and thank you for the most beautiful pictures. We cant wait to see you again!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
I'm not sure thank you is enough for this review. Wow thank you SO much Allie!! Kelley and I are so lucky that we were able to cross paths with you at the show so long ago, and that you put your trust in us. I hope to see you guys again!
Amazing, friendly and funny! We have nothing but great things to say about Chris and our experience with him. He did such a wonderful job making us laugh and truly have such a fun experience taking engagement photos. He is incredibly flexible ...
with setting up times and choosing a location for photos. Chris was the perfect photographer for us and had us laughing the entire time! We 100% recommend Photography Stiles, we had such a wonderful experience.

Christopher Stiles is an amazing wedding photographer. He captured not only beautiful photos, but the beautiful emotions of the entire day. His work blends photography and artistry together. Chris is extremely professional, responsive, and so ...

Thank you so much for all these kind words Amanda! Your engagement photo set at the firehouse and the orchard was one of my favorite combos! I can't wait for your wedding!
Chris was awesome! He shot our engagement session and didn’t mind coming to our location of choice even though it was a little far for him. By the time we got there he had already scouted the location for spots he wanted to photograph! He made ...
the session fun and easy! Our pictures came out amazing! We brought our dog who was very excited to be there and he was able to get some great pictures of her. We used one of our pictures for our save the date and have gotten so many compliments!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Thank you for taking the time to write a review Brittany! You guys were fantastic to work with and I loved your pup! I wish you all the best!
We booked Chris for an engagement session in February 2020, and we are SO glad we did! Chris was accommodating and extremely flexible to fit us in with our own crazy work schedules. He was even able to suggest the best possible day and time tha...
t we would be able to get some great sunset shots using his previous experience in the meteorology field... And he was right! During our session, the clouds broke up and a sunset appeared! We couldn't have been happier. The whole experience was fun, relaxing, and really comfortable (even for my fiancé who doesn't necessarily enjoy getting his picture taken). We received our pictures within a week or two and were able to share them easily with our families via an online gallery.
I cannot express how grateful we were to work with Chris for our engagement pictures. We had the best time! It was amazing to be able to get his advice on when the best timing and day would be for the pictures we were looking to get. He was even able to capture some great shots of our dog! Chris is professional, personable, and great at what he does, and we will be recommending him to everyone we know!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Thank you so much for all the kind words Lisa! We take the weather seriously ;) But really I am thrilled you were happy with the experience all-around. We love what we do!
My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with Chris earlier this month, and he was absolutely fantastic to work with! From start to finish, Chris made us feel comfortable and was so much fun. It was like hanging out with a friend who happened t...
o be taking pictures of you. But not only is he a pleasure to be around, he is extremely talented. I am very picky about pictures and was worried we would have a hard time finding one we both liked for our save the dates. However, it felt like each photo was better than the last, and we are having a hard time deciding which of the many fabulous photos to choose. We cannot wait for Chris to shoot our wedding next June!
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2020
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review Katie! I'm so happy that you loved the photos so much it was a challenge for your save the dates :) Looking forward to next year!
Photography Stiles did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! From my first phone call with Chris I knew that they would be the perfect choice for us. Throughout the entire process they were professional and easy to work. On the day of our w...
edding they showed up early and were able to capture all the details of our venue. Our wedding day was rainy and grey right up until the ceremony, and it was so helpful that Chris has a background in weather. I knew I could trust his decisions (and the sky cleared just in time!)
Chris and Kelley made our entire bridal party feed comfortable and at ease from the moment they arrived. There were so many incredible and special moments that he managed to capture so perfectly, and so naturally, which is just what we were looking for. The family, bridal party, and couple photos are everything we could have asked for.
So many of our guests and family members commented on how great the photography team was throughout the ceremony and reception. Chris and Kelley were able to blend into the scene so perfectly and capture such a range of photos from the day. Some of our favorite photos are of our friends and family celebrating and dancing during the reception. They have a passion and enthusiasm to capture every moment and the final results blew us away! We couldn’t have wished for anything more and we would absolutely recommend Photography Stiles!

Thank you Michelle for taking the time for your review! Your wedding was one of our absolute favorites down in Houston!
My fiancé and I won a contest for a free engagement photo session with Chris!! From the beginning Chris was super responsive and very easy to work with! We decided to have our engagement photos taken at Lyman Orchards. My fiancé and I were both...
a little nervous to have our pictures taken but Chris made that day so much fun for us and made us feel completely comfortable. We had some special spots around the property that we wanted to get some shots at and Chris worked with us to make sure we got the most perfect photos!! Our engagement photos came out soooooo AMAZING so we booked Chris for our wedding on 10/9/2021!

Thank you so much! Your engagement photos are some of my absolute favorite to say the least. I work hard to make the sessions feel easy/comfortable, so glad to hear that specifically!
We started with a secret photo shoot while I proposed and we absolutely love how they came out capturing the moment so perfectly. Then for our engagement photo shoot, literally the very first photo taken was used for our save the dates. The res...
t of the photo shoot was great as well - Chris had a great plan for types of shots since we weren’t all that sure of what we wanted. It was cold and windy out that day and he got so many different shots and it didn’t take too long but we weren’t rushed at all either. Great experience with Photography Stiles! They also did our wedding and it was incredible. They got all the shots we wanted and also were keeping an eye on the weather to make sure we didn't get rained on. We were finishing up a few shots outside and Chris told us we had 1 minute before it rains... got our last group shots in and it started raining just as we were walking through the door.

Thank you Tayler! Your snowy proposal will be a memory I'll never forget. Hiding casually during a snowstorm is not as easy as it looks haha!
Amazing experience! Chris did our engagement photo session and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He encouraged us to experiment with silly, fun, and sweet, romantic poses and helped us when we needed inspiration. We picked ...
a really unique location with dim lighting, and he embraced the challenge and made us look awesome! He reassured us that we were “nailing it!” and the photos were living proof! Speaking of, we got our digital photos back in just over one week!!! Highly recommend Chris - you will thank yourself for choosing Photography Stiles for your special events.

Words cannot express how appreciative we are for having Photography Stiles capture our intimate wedding at the Mystic Aquarium. From the initial phone call to the final minutes of the reception, Chris remained professional throughout!
Our cer...
emony was outside, and the sun had set about an hour before we walked down the aisle. That did not affect the quality of photographs, as every single shot was beautiful! Chris also did a great job blending into the background, while managing to capture even the most detailed of shots.
Chris was amazing and I would recommend Photography Stiles to anyone who wants quality, down to earth and all around great people to work with!

Thank you so much Carolyn! Your wedding was beautiful and I was honored to have the responsibility of capturing it!
Perfect does not even begin to describe the experience that we had with Chris and Kelley from Photography Stiles and the services that they provided for our wedding. We used them both for our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. Chri...
s is extremely easy to work with. He has a laid back, yet professional attitude that makes you feel comfortable in the moment and confident to be your natural self. Let’s face it, engagement shoots can be awkward. It’s most likely one of the first time you're meeting your photographer, and you're expected to kiss laugh, and be intimate in front of someone who is more or less a stranger. Not once did we feel this way with Chris. While maintaining his professionalism, he is extremely down to earth and easy to warm up to. Within minutes, he had us laughing and feeling comfortable. That, paired with his killer photography skills made for some amazing engagement photos. For our wedding, Chris and Kelley make the best team! The work so well with each other, value each other’s opinions, and have a shared goal of capturing all the meaningful moments from your special day. They provided us with the most amazing photos from our wedding. One’s that radiate so much emotion that just looking at them makes us feel like we are back in that moment. We would HIGHLY recommend Photography Stiles for anyone wanting those “once in a lifetime” moments to be captured so that you could relive them again and again.
