Chris is amazing both as a person and as a photographer. You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does. She made sure everyone looked their best in the pictures and that too very efficiently! She was always on time. She even helped carry my heavy dress with me when I was struggling to walk. She uploaded all our pictures in about 2-3 weeks, all edited and ready. Would definitely book for another event in the future and recommend her for the same!

Let me just say that Christine was absolutely amazing! I was a bride on a budget, and I was able to book her Cyber Monday deal without sacrificing quality. I would definitely suggest you request her portfolio as the photos on the knot do not do the photos justice. My husband and I just wanted bright elegant photos to remember the day and we got exactly what we wanted. She's very nice and accommodating but can also get the bridal party in line to keep the process moving. I would definitely hire her again for other life events.

Hi, I am Chris, an Orlando-based photographer. I am a professional photographer with 28 years of photography experience, 16 of those being weddings! I got married in 2010 and my wedding is what began my passion for wedding photography. I have never forgotten the important tips I learned at both my own wedding and the hundreds of weddings I have worked at since then. Because of those experiences, I will help your day go smoothly and stress-free.

My husband Yash and I got married in February 2023 and Chris Pat was a big part of what made our wedding day go smoothly and happily. She was so friendly and helpful, both leading ...

up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself. We had a lot of different groups with whom we wanted specific photos, and we weren't the most organized - but Chris was very patient with us and made sure that we got everything that we wanted. We felt confident in her hands that everything would come out great, and it did - from the lighting, to the different poses she suggested, to getting certain angles and aspects of the ambience just right, Chris was a true professional and a very talented photographer. Her services were also quite affordable, which we appreciated given all of the costs that add up when planning a wedding. We highly recommend Chris Pat, for your wedding or any other special event!

We had a photo session with cpat last weekend. She is such a sweet & wonderful person all around. We met her for the first time & felt like we had known her forever. She took some ...

pretty amazing pictures. She showed us some on her camera. But non edited so we are anxiously awaiting to see them. But I have no doubt that they will turn out amazing. And we will have these memories with us forever thanks to her. I could never thank her enough for taking the time out of her day to Capture such beautiful memories. And I really had wished I found her 3 years ago for our wedding because she's not a 5 shes a 10! And Id give her that if I could. Thanks again!

I can't say enough great things about Chris! I first met Chris when she was the photographer at my brothers wedding, not only did the wedding photos come out incredible but she was...

so professional and helpful through the entire day. Soon after the wedding I asked her if she could do a family shoot for me. My husband and I have 3 kids ages 3 1/2 and under so I was nervous because if one of them is tired or just not into it the whole shoot could be a waste. She immediately got on their level and got the most beautiful photos! She didn't stop until I got every picture I wanted of them. We did a shoot in a Apple orchard (which was Chris' idea and I loved it) so we had to do a decent amount of walking and she helped my huband and I carrying the kids and the diaper bag car seat etc all around. The pictures came out better than I imagined and the best part are her prices are some of the most reasonable I've seen! Next time you are in the market for a photographer for any special occasion Chris is your girl!

my expectations. She captured every important moment of that day for us. I especially want to thank Chris for capturing the moments of me and my father dancing. My father recently just passed, and before my wedding we never really had any photos together. Thank you Chris for giving me a photo of my dad that I can forever hold on to!

ring moments that I didn't even know happened as I was trying to be attentive to every guest. The posed photos were absolutely amazing, as well as the candid shots she was able to get of everything going on. From our first dance as husband and wife, to our daughters dancing with their father, she was able to photograph not only moments, but feelings. When you see my husband in his CVMA vest hugging his father, you not only see that, but you see their love. I honestly do not remember every detail of our day as it was whirlwind, but I have a treasure trove of photos to look upon and know that everything was in its place and Chris was able to capture it all flawlessly.

She worked so well with everyone from the wedding party to all our guests. I would recommend her to anyone!

I would like to thank Photos by Cpat for the level of professionalism shown while photographing my wedding. I got married on October 11th on Jacksonville beach. She was on time and...

when I showed up to the event freaking out, she offered to help. It was very hot outside and I was sweating profusely: she not only provided a towel when we were outside and never complained, but also brought me a cold rag when we moved inside for the reception. Little things like that makes such the difference when your are a bride at your wedding. She took a lot of pictures and had us pose in a variety of ways and with several different family members and friends. There were a couple other issues that she handled very gracefully during the reception. I have not seen my pictures yet but somehow I know they will display the same level of excellence that she displayed at my wedding/reception. Thank you so much Photos by Cpat and I would absolutely recommend her as your wedding photographer!!! I will update my review when I receive my photos!!

We were very happy with our photographer Chris Paterson! She did an amazing job from the start! She was a pleasure to work with! She was very easy to talk to and get along with....

Her persona is amazing. She is so open to knew photos ideas and we absolutely loved her. She drove from Deltona area, all the way here in Jacksonville and we never got to meet her in person until the day of the wedding. We were a little nervous because we had never heard of her before. That all went away when we got our first impression of her. She was always 2 steps ahead of me with taking the photos, I remember asking her if she could take pictures of all the decorations, and she told me that she already had a little while ago..... She was on time and made sure to capture our special moments as the day went on. I was very happy with her and the photos that she took. I would highly recommend Chris to be your photographer because she is great to work with and the pictures were amazing!

I have been dealing with vendors all my life with the type of business I do and Chris was a dream to work with. Not only was she extremely professional but I did not have to worry ...

about anything. She was there on time, in fact way ahead of schedule, her contract was precise and simple and she checked in with me every couple of days with any updates or needed information about the ceremony.The pictures were FABULOUS! She listened to everyone at the reception to make sure my son's memories were taken to heart without hesitating or asking me any questions. The fact that we received our photos so promptly (within a week) made us able to relive the memories immediately. I would definitely use her again and AGAIN!
