Photography Stiles

the engagement shoot, he made sure we felt comfortable--so much so that the time flew by. On the day of our wedding, he made sure that we were able to fit in everything and managed to ensure that everyone was where they needed to be (not an easy feat with the number of people we were wrangling). Chris was calm, professional, and made us feel like our day was the highest priority for him. We highly recommend Chris for any of your photography needs!

ut the whole process. During the wedding planning process he was super responsive and was great at answering all the questions we could have had with all his expertise. Wedding day- also just as amazing! He has so many great ideas to make our photos look amazing even with the rain. We can’t wait to see how everything turned out. Chris is the only photographer we will be using moving forward! Thank you for everything.

nt sessions to our wedding day photos. I say comfortable because I knew that he would not only get the job done (punctually, professionally, with a lot of humor, and with great quality photos!) but comfortable in the sense that we were working with a true artist. I felt at such peace working with him prior to our big day because he walked me through everything step-by-step, providing me with timelines, easy sheets for us to tell him what we wanted, and we always did feel so much freedom because he wanted what I wanted. He made sure that everything we visioned he was able to capture. We will not go to anyone else after seeing what he can do! Look no further, he is your go-to man!!! We love you Chris!!! Gabi & Kurt Holden

. In addition to having incredible knowledge and skill in photography (he’s constantly running and participating in professional development in the photo industry), he is also a pleasure to work with. Photography is a skill, but when it comes to your wedding day you want someone who understands they are not going to just be taking your picture. They’re going to be coordinating with your other vendors, managing your friends and family, and spending time with you and your partner. Chris brought all this to the table and more. From providing reassurance on what can be an overwhelming day, to being your personal meteorologist for wedding weather, and everything in between, Chris did it all. Multiple friends and family members made comments about how amazing our photographer was; it stood out to anyone present. We are so lucky to have had Chris document our special day, and highly recommend him.

we felt that day - which is exactly what Chris did. It felt effortless to get all of our couple photos and wedding party photos done, which made the experience that much more enjoyable (especially for my husband who doesn't love being in a ton of pictures). Overall Chris was wonderful to work with! He made us feel comfortable throughout the wedding planning process and was easy to coordinate with. Leading up to our wedding he kept track of the weather (a big relief for us!) and on our wedding day he bundled up to take pictures with us in the cold. We highly recommend Chris and his team!

ecommend him to anyone! His communication skills, attention to detail, and getting to know us allowed us to have the best time while taking our pictures and getting the best pictures I think we could have ever asked for.

e for the occasion, and where to take the best photos for season and sun placement. My husband jokes that Chris planned more of the wedding than he did! Chris brought a personal touch to the wedding and was a calming presence throughout the day. Something I was not expecting is that he brought a projector to the reception and showed pictures of the ceremony for all the guests to ooh and ahh over. The great part is you do not need to choose customer service OR artistic looking elegant photos. With Photography Stiles you get both!

beyond with details like setting up a projector with a day-of sneak peek during our reception and sharing his favorite wine with us while we met with him to view our full gallery. Not to mention the photos are beautiful and tell the story of our day so wonderfully! I felt at ease on my wedding day knowing Chris had us taken care of.

sonalities of the couple. Overall, we had an exceptional time working with Chris. He was extremely professional, punctual, and, most importantly, experienced. During our photo session, Chris helped orchestrate and coordinate large groups of people with his funny sense of humor and agreeable personality. We highly recommend others to use Chris for not only wedding events, but for all photography needs!

king work. We also did an engagement shoot with Chris. We had never taken professional photos together, but he put us at ease and made it a fun and stress free experience. On top of that, he is a genuinely kind, funny and easy going person. He’s very organized and answered every little question I had, and made sure to get every shot we requested the day of. He worked well with our videographers and was super patient with our flowers girls. He even previewed a few shots at the end of the reception for all the guests to see! We can’t wait to get the whole album back and hope to work with him again in the future.

h Chris from our initial call; we all clicked instantly. We knew from looking at his past work that his photos were amazing, but we were confident that he also understood the moments that were important to us when we spoke about capturing our wedding. And BOY did Chris deliver! Our engagement session photos are beautiful, our wedding photos are beautiful, we are just beyond blown away with the results. But beyond the results, working with Chris was truly so easy and effortless. If his work doesn't speak for itself, one phone call with him will have you convinced you NEED him as your photographer.

was not a problem at all with Chris! He worked with us through the entire process, and made sure we knew that the situation was not going to impact anything. We FaceTimed him in for a walk thru, and even drove down a day early so that he could walk around the venue in person the morning of the wedding to make sure he scoped out the best locations for us. Absolutely amazing!!! Leading up to the ceremony, he gave us a very detailed game plan which made us feel so comfortable the day of, because we knew exactly what we were striving for! He worked so well with our young flower girl and ring bearer, and everything was so organized, it just made us feel at ease. Our flower girl was in her 3rd wedding of the year, and her mom made a point to tell us that Chris was the best photographer she’d worked with by a long shot! We’re so excited to see how the pictures come out, and we could not have possibly had a better experience. Can’t recommend Chris enough!

mmodating. He worked with us every step of the way and made the process incredibly easy. I went into the process of finding wedding photographers knowing I was looking for a certain "look". I wanted casual, in-the-moment shots that captured the emotions of the day. This embodies everything that Chris does and it was apparent from day 1. He made us so at ease and offered wonderful suggestions to get "that moment". He was the easiest decision out of all vendors! Thanks to Chris, every time I look at my wedding album I feel transported back to the moment. I truly cannot recommend him enough.

ith their booth. Their personalities were so down to earth and fun, 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!

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!

choice. Our wedding photos are phenomenal. Chris captured my husband 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.

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!

and team flawlessly wrangled our bridal party and family for portraits, 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!

e 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!

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!

is 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!

eption 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!

extremely comfortable while he took formal and candid photos throughout 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!

raphers, 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!

res look like. Chris is so kind and his love for what he does shines 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!

ended (and after our actual wedding!). Chris was a trooper through 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.

for and everything he captured was more than we could have hoped for! He got to know us ahead of time and we felt so comfortable with him and in front of the camera.

were not sure what to expect from the engagement session, but Chris 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!

first hand, I had to. Chris is timely, detail oriented, and takes 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.

I was showing my nerves until he said gently, “take a deep breath 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!

ris’ style and he and his wife are SO friendly and SO easy to work 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! :)

is again at our wedding. Chris is SO easy and enjoyable to work with. He helped us to develop a timeline and plan for the wedding day months before our wedding when I emailed him in a panic having no idea how the day would go. He is quick and responsive with communication, and personable and easy going in person. We are obsessed with our sneak peaks from our wedding photos and can only imagine how amazing the rest of the pictures will be. We have received many compliments from friends and family (both on our photos and how he worked on our wedding day). He is photographing a friend's wedding in a few weeks, and my sister's next year. We love recommending him to everyone and anyone we know... like even people who aren't getting married or looking to hire anyone... we still like to tell everyone how much we love and recommend Chris. There is seriously no option but to use Photography Stiles!!!! 5 stars is simply not enough.

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!!

wards awkward when taking pictures. Chris was so fun to work with and made us feel very comfortable! He is also very responsive whenever we had any questions! I would highly recommend him to any couple!

all to the shoot to receiving our pictures). He had creative ideas and was also open to our ideas! He did a wonderful job capturing our very energetic dog which can be difficult! The pictures came out AMAZING and he got them back to us quickly!! We hope to book again for our wedding!

wedding process (pre-wedding through post-wedding). He does a great job of making you and your wedding feel like a priority.

lt 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!!!

zing photographer!!

inutes of finally getting to meet him, I knew this was the photographer 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!

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. Emily & Nick

together. Chris is extremely professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. The beauty of his work lets us relive the entire day over and over. We highly recommend Christopher Stiles!

r wedding, I know Chris and Kelley will do a fantastic job capturing the memories

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!

. He was even able to suggest the best possible day and time that 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!

o much fun. It was like hanging out with a friend who happened to 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!
