The Story Photography

but they made everything easy! The pictures turned out amazing and we get complements on them daily. Honestly we couldn’t be happier with our experience with their team.

in our living room is perfect-- well as perfect as anyone can hope for with 3 kiddos in it. Chris worked great with the little ones too! The sentiment from his website is so true. You won't need to see the pictures of the cake or rings or table decor over and over, but you'll treasure the pics with your loved ones celebrating your day. If Chris (and his second shooter Jess) take your precious pictures, you will appreciate them forever.

we were so happy with how all of our pictures came out. He is clearly passionate about what he does and has a ton of experience to back it up. The candid moments he was able to get on camera were amazing too...he went above and beyond! Chris collaborated so well with us to make sure that our vision from our engagement photos through to our wedding day photos were exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend him!

both my husband, I, and our dog, which he then captured on camera -- with Chris's directions to us and his skill, the photos turned out so well that a number of my friends told me it was one of the best engagement shoots they'd seen. He did a phenomenal job at our eventual wedding, and we cannot recommend him enough! He captured all of our emotions, the venue scenery, and our friends and family so beautifully that we are still obsessing over the photos. He is definitely who you want by your side, capturing your once in a lifetime event to create memories that can be cherished forever.

oy did he deliver!! He was fun to work with and I recommend him to anyone who wants someone to capture the feeling of our event! It’s like reliving our wedding every time we look through photos!

o do the “traditional” suite of photos, and Chris was willing to customize something for us. My now husband and I aren’t particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but during our engagement photo session, Chris was very easygoing, put us at ease and my fiancé even enjoyed the experience. Even though we had talked in advance about where we might want photos taken, towards the end of the shoot, Chris asked if there was anywhere else around we’d like photos, and I thought of some other places I hadn’t considered originally, which turned out to be some of my favorite pictures. At our wedding, Chris’s extensive experience with weddings was incredibly helpful – he had a sense that hair and makeup would run over and saved me from being late to my wedding by advising a different plan for “first look” photos. We were winging some things, and he also gave us helpful tips throughout the wedding on where it might be good to stand for speeches, when it might be good to move on to certain activities, etc., above and beyond taking pictures. Weddings are stressful and photographers are with you a lot, and Chris was a calming, steady presence. He was very patient and accommodating when various family members made requests and was also very adept at navigating potentially awkward situations. Perhaps most importantly, I couldn’t believe how beautifully our photos came out! He captured so many moments I didn’t even see happening…he somehow managed to be on all sides of a “scene” while also keeping a low profile. I’ve looked at our photos over and over since the wedding and I keep finding new things in them. It’s quite amazing. He’s very artistic and has an amazing eye for composition, color, etc. He is also very professional and incredibly quick to respond to emails and to turn around photos after the wedding. The whole experience with Chris was better than I could’ve imagined, and we’re extremely grateful for how beautifully he captured these moments that we’ll be looking back on for the rest of our lives.

sponsive leading up to our wedding - even when we had to change our venue three weeks beforehand due to Covid. Like a lot of men, my husband wasn't sure about the idea of a photoshoot, and Chris had immediately put him at ease and made it fun. We especially appreciated his professional, calming demeanor during such a busy day. He also turned around our photos very quickly, so we were able to see them during our honeymoon! Thank you so much Chris, we loved working with you!

dgable about our venue, and was accepting of our requested shots throughout the day, while having his own artistic suggestions. His photographs captured the magic of the day (and then some), while his editing style kept the photos looking natural, but refined. He blended into the background during the day and wasn't a distraction for us or our guest at the ceremony or reception while capturing every moment and the energy of the day perfectly. Most importantly, he was prompt with getting the prints to us just a few weeks after the wedding.

t by Covid-19 and The Story Photography did everything to accommodate our change in dates. We ended up using Chris for our small ceremony this August, after my husband and I had to delay our wedding a full year and we are so, so glad Chris was able to be there. With it being our plan C and the 'backyard wedding' version, it's not like the scenery was pristine, my wedding ceremony was in my parents driveway, the decorations were homemade, but with The Story Photography's pictures, you would never know. He has such a gift with his photos and the ability to make any scene beautiful. We could not be happier with how he was able to capture the special day for us. My family raves about how Chris is the type of photographer who does everything to capture the special moments of your wedding day, but is also is so careful to not ever get in the way. For my sister's wedding and for mine, he is brief when he needs to be, he never wants the bride and groom to miss a moment, and he can blend in so easily to the point where you forget he is a vendor! A great photographer is one who the wedding guests barely notice. That is Chris! His work is exceptional, he never makes you do anything uncomfortable or cheesy, he is totally there to guide you through the pictures, get you in and out so you can enjoy the wedding day and gift you with the most amazing wedding photos you could ask for. From our engagement photos, to planning for the wedding, rescheduling, and being there the Wedding day, I am so happy we had Chris to work with. My husband also made a point to say how easy The Story Photography was to work with. Especially for a guy, they can tense up if the photographer makes you do anything too far for photos. He really felt like our friend by the end of it all who is happy to be there. He makes it so special and really joins in on the magic of your wedding. I cannot recommend him enough and am already telling the rest of my siblings that their photographer is already picked for their weddings :)

ing that day (which happened to be the first day of Phase 2 in Upstate NY). With all of the confusion that transpired, Chris was so flexible and willing to help us. We decided to have our micro-wedding on our original date, and then postpone our large wedding to the fall of 2020. Our micro-wedding turned out to be a more perfect day than we could have imagined. Chris gave us the most beautiful photos, and captured our small ceremony perfectly! I had requested a list of photos, and he went above and beyond to give us more than we asked for. It happened to be a very windy day, but you could barely tell from the photos. Chris is very kind and easy to work with, especially on the day of the wedding. There were a lot of uncertainties for our wedding day, but Chris embraced them so well and stayed positive throughout the whole process leading up to our big day. Everything flowed so smoothly on our wedding day, and it could not have been more perfect. He agreed to also photograph our second wedding in the fall, and we are SO excited to work with him again! We highly recommend The Story Photography to anyone getting married in Upstate NY (although I believe Chris will travel for destination weddings too!). Update for July 2021 Wedding: We Highly recommend The Story Photography!! We had two weddings (thanks Covid). Our first was in May of 2020 when we were allowed 10 guests. Our second wedding was July 2021. We had Chris photograph both weddings, and we are so glad he did! When we were in the process of choosing our second wedding date and trying to navigate the stressors related to Covid, we specifically chose a date that Chris would be available for the second wedding, because we didn’t want anyone else! Chris was always very responsive to emails and had great suggestions as we were trying to plan our wedding timelines. My husband has a huge family, so we also had several family portraits that we requested for the larger wedding in July. Chris not only gave us every single family portrait that we asked for, but edited the photos so beautifully! If we had to do it all over again, we absolutely would pick Chris as our photographer! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, listens to your ideas, has several years of experience, helps create your wedding timeline and delivers 1000+ high quality photos of the best day of your life, then you simply must choose The Story Photography!

ch that would tell the STORY of our day and that's exactly what we got! Chris was able to capture the vibe, the laughter, the energy. When we look at our pictures, we relive not only the moments, but the entire evening. The icing on the cake, is that he's a great guy and wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend Chris and The Story Photography!!

nd try to direct every moment. Instead, it’s the organic moments he specializes in and because of that the pictures truly take you back to your day. His photos came out so beautifully I would have said some of them were photoshopped if he hadn’t actually shown them to us on his camera immediately after taking them! He was able to provide a digital wedding album to us within a few weeks and the results are incredible. To be able to capture the authentic, honest moments of a wedding day so beautifully requires a huge amount of skill and Chris has it. Chris provides what everyone wishes for: a way to relive your wedding day.

nd of July. He started our photography early in the day with the classic girls getting ready photos and he stayed until the last song of the evening capturing the most meaningful and beautiful photos I have ever seen. His attention to detail while making everyone feel comfortable was the best thing I have ever experienced. Chris miraculously worked in the background capturing the most authentic and stunning photos I have ever seen. He took charge of the chaotic group photos with ease and made sure that every photo that we wanted was captured effortlessly and that we were on schedule to achieve our multiple first look photo locations. My husband and I have never taken professional photos before, so we were both very nervous and awkward in front of the camera, but Chris worked magic because somehow he delivered the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. To top it all off, Chris delivered our FULL wedding album in less than 2 weeks!! To say he is a miracle worker is an understatement! As I said, hire Chris - you will not be disappointed!!!

when you need it! Very professional and polite.

d made our ideas a reality with his beautiful work. He was professional and flawless in capturing so many special moments throughout the day. I would highly recommend Chris if you're looking for lasting, beautiful pictures to commemorate your special day!

ivered our photos quickly! Thank you!!

ieve this as we barely noticed him! Chris does a great job of letting you have your day without a camera in your face the whole time but also capturing the moments you want to save forever. I can't say enough good things about Chris as a person or as a photographer. 100% recommend The Story Photography to everyone!

day so beautifully and true to our style. He goes above and beyond before, after and during your event and we would recommend him in a heartbeat for anyone looking to capture beautiful moments and special events. Thank you so much, Chris!!

I had to have him capture my day as well. He takes bright, crisp shots that will frame beautifully.

h and we couldn't be happier with his work and the experience of working with him. Highly recommend.
