We took a lot of thought when picking a photographer, and Shine was the best decision! They worked with us and never tried to sell us on anything. They listened to what we wanted and made our day the best it could have been! I find myself constantly going back to look at the pictures!

We were so so so happy with Shine Photo and Films!! Our photographer, Neo, was such a joy and really captured all of our special moments. He worked with such passion and excitement and really made taking photos (which can sometimes be awkward and a pain) so much fun! He really has a craft for photography, I could tell he was playing with light and shades and textures, which really made our photos AMAZING. Shine also got us 300+ "preview" photos the day AFTER our wedding!! Something totally UNHEARDOF in this business. We are so grateful. The office staff was easy to contact, chat with, and really made the whole process so smooth, as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Looking forward to my highlight video, short video (3-6mins), and long video (40-60mins!!)

I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Shine Photography for my wedding. Rich was such an absolute pleasure to meet with. He helped explain the process and got us our pictures so quickly! We looked forward to each meeting with him. Miro and Cliff went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most stunning pictures. They helped put on all the men’s boutonnières, constantly fixed my veil/ dress train, and kept a smile on everyone’s face the entire day. We stopped at multiple locations to take pictures and yet were never rushed. Miro and Cliff made sure the entire day ran so smoothly. Furthermore, their presence alone greatly added to the day. They were just so much fun to be around, while also being incredibly professional and talented. Thanks to Rich, Miro, and Cliff we get to relive the best day of our lives with the most gorgeous pictures. I cannot recommend them enough.

I should start by noting that we already received our pictures and just received our video - WOW! A beautiful summary of our special day, filled with all the fun, tears, and dancing that we would want to take away from our day. Chris' team was amazing - he is a talented photographer, the videographer captured the day beautifully and the assistant was such a lovely man who offered great help & humor. Chris has clearly done this before and made us feel super comfortable the second he met up with us. Rich was amazing during our consultations and helped bring our vision to life! If you can afford to do the video as well, it is well worth it with this team! Thanks guys!!!

I am BLOWN AWAY at the perfection of my engagement photos!! Chris Vitale is an absolute artistic genius as he was able to capture the genuine intimacy and love that me and my fiancé share right on camera!! He was so easy to work with, made us feel comfortable and confident while having so much fun! His style on photography excels in unique and creative talent. We are SOOOO excited to use him again for our wedding and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thanks for everything Chris!!

I am speechless. Chris and Cliff were AMAZING. There are not enough reviews on here for Shine Photography and there needs to be. (A bonus to Shine is they actually work hand in hand with Body Rock so it made the night even better!!) Chris and Cliff made sure that we got every shot in, they worked with our crazy family dynamic and made everything work flawlessly. We were nervous about family photos and how it was going to go and they made sure that all of our concerns were addressed and took all of our stress away. Even during our shots as a couple, they made it so much fun and made sure we were comfortable with everything we were doing. They were so easy to work with and made sure that we were able to enjoy our night, while also getting all the photos that we wanted to. We were able to take fun bridal party shots and enjoy our time with everyone celebrating with us. Chris is so unbelievably talented and more brides need to check them out. Like I had mentioned before, it’s difficult to put my experience into words because it was absolutely amazing. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Shine Photography!

Chris was amazing!! From the moment he arrived at our house until the very end of the night. Chris came with his assistant, cliff ( I believe or its Clint), and a videographer and his assistant. I am terrible at names, sorry! But so so so lovely. They made everything work and I have already seen some previews. I am beyond excited to see how photos will turn out. We definitely got our practice from Chris during our engagement photos but we were prompted so appropriately and nothing felt awkward! We are super happy with our decision. Our family was so happy with how the pictures were handled and taken.
