Shore Impressions Photography

es back in 2 weeks and were BLOWN AWAY! They were AWESOME! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for magazine worthy images and an experience beyond expectations!

When we first met, Chris assured us our pictures would take 2-3 months tops to return, and that the 6-month clause in the contract never came into play. We also had to pay in full in order to receive our photos. Chris had our full payment up front, so once he shot the actual wedding he had no incentive to return our pictures in a timely manner. Now, 6 months after our wedding, we have called, texted, and emailed and have received exactly 2 responses, both assuring us the pictures would be coming soon. But instead of working on our pictures, Chris continued booking and shooting other clients: throughout these 6 months, he has been posting photos from other shoots on Facebook every single day - prom pics, sports pics, senior pics, family pics, and weddings. He's obviously very good at booking clients and getting their money, but is completely unprofessional in actually delivering the product. My husband and I were two days away from our 6-month wedding anniversary and still no pictures. We were in the process of hiring a lawyer to sue Chris for breach of contract when the pictures finally arrived, two days before our contract was up. I do not believe this is a coincidence. DO NOT pay in full prior to full service being rendered, and DO NOT sign a contract that contains something you don't like, no matter what the contractor says - having to wait half of a year for images from the biggest event of your day is AWFUL. But it is avoidable - go with a better photographer.

o let other brides know about the way Shore Impressions Photography conducts business. I booked this photographer for my May 9th wedding after meeting with the owner Chris, mind you in our meeting it was only Chris, my fiancé Stephen and myself. I was blown away with Chris' work and we knew we wanted to use him for our special day. We got our engagement pictures done, and up until then everything was going smoothly. I started to have trouble getting responses from him in regards to picture proofs, etc but I knew that was typical for a busy business. A few weeks ago I found out that there was another bride who also had her wedding set for May 9th 2015 with shore impressions photography. She said Chris had informed her that he booked two weddings on our date but he would be shooting her wedding and sending an assistant shooter to my wedding. Mind you I never got an email or any type of notification that he wasn't shooting mine. I had never met the assistant shooter, I had never been told at the time of contract this was even an option! There is NO where in the contract that he double books or that there was even a assistant, unless you pay extra for the second shooter, and only then would someone else come. Chris promised me he would capture my day, and I would be receiving HIS work, and spending the most special day with the photographer I had bonded with. He even told me I didn't need a second shooter, that his girlfriend would be there with him to shoot as well. But that wasn't the case...Chris knew he had double booked, and had full intentions of sending his assistant to shoot my wedding without telling me. Another bride whom is a friend received an email the night before her wedding from Chris stating he had another wedding the next day, and his assistant would be there to shoot her day, and not to worry. This is in no way anything against the assistant of Chris who does photography with him, this is solely about the way he is unprofessional in conducting his business. I am sure his assistant does great work, but the fact of the matter is we spent a large amount of money for the work we saw from CHRIS, from the bond and promises we got from CHRIS not his assistant. He informed me the other day that most of the photos we see online are his assistants photos, they aren't even his. It has been one lie after another. He knows he has these dates double booked in the fall and spring and fails to tell his brides this when you meet with him, he promises to take care of you and keeps the other wedding a secret until the day before. Luckily in my case, I found out from other local brides. After many attempts to get in touch with him he finally answered and agreed after much battling and denying that a full refund would be the best option. I went to get my "full refund" and received a check for half of the money we paid Chris. I am disgusted with the way Chris has betrayed us, lied and not held up his end of the deal with his photos. Not only are we out thousands of dollars but we wasted a lot of time and frustration trying to get this straightened out. To all the brides who already have booked with Shore Impressions I am so hopeful your experience is better than ours was.

t Chris he was nothing short of professional, friendly and all about making our day perfect for my husband and I. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants an amazing photographer for an extremely reasonable price. I couldn't find another photographer with photos as amazing as his in the Annapolis/Kent Island area for the prices he charges.

gement pictures also. Only think is he is hard to get ahold of at times.

re also very unobtrusive for the ceremony and reception. They took great shots! I would happily recommend them to anyone.

ime and was very flexible and willing to do any shots me or the groom wanted to do. I have got a glimpse of some of the pictures from my wedding and they are very good! It truly captured the essence of our wedding! I would def. recommend him to anyone else!

are absolutely beautiful and perfect! He posted pictures online the next day! He was the perfect photographer for us. He is the perfect mix for weddings (great photographer and very into his work for the bride and a down to earth guy for the groom). We are so happy to have hired Shore Impressions Photography as our wedding photographer!

ered-it was just my and my new husband. Truly an awesome photographer and an awesome person.

to work with. I could not have asked for a better photographer and wedding photos. I am so pleased and would recommend this photographer to everyone!
