Verified reviews from real couples

Louis was absolutely amazing, and our videographer Alex was incredible! They worked so well together as a team and made our entire photo and video experience wonderful from beginning to end. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful and artistic, and we LOVE our wedding video! Communication throughout the entire process was always fast, and Christian and his staff were incredibly helpful whenever we needed anything. What we appreciated most was how relaxed we felt on our wedding day. Louis and Alex gave us direction when we needed it, but nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. We were able to just be ourselves, enjoy our wedding, and be present with each other while they captured everything beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the experience or the final results. Thank you guys so much — you are the best! ❤️

Our photography experience was incredible, and getting our photos while we were still on our honeymoon was such an amazing surprise. It meant so much to be able to relive our wedding right away. The photos are stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

They always seemed to be in the right spot at just the right time, taking stunning photos of both the big moments and the small, heartfelt details that made the day so special. It was clear they were focused on preserving those unforgettable memories for the newlyweds. The result was a beautiful collection of photos that perfectly tell the story of the day, filled with joy, emotion, and all the little moments in between. I highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a photographer who can truly capture the essence of a wedding.

We hired Anastasia from the team and she was the sweetest human being we have ever met. I am a big nerd and I researched and researched and compared and compared like 100 portfolio...

s and I realized that this team had the best work. It’s a really good team and they take their work serious meaning they care. Anastasia was seriously so sweet and caring and her direction was easy to follow. I never felt uncomfortable and we felt we had really good guidance. Our entire gallery is beautiful. If you’re a research nerdy bride like me who overthinks everything I am telling you this is the team and look no further!

Thank you Anastasia, our photos are beautiful. We will be ordering an album to preserve those memories in a beautiful leather album :)

Loved them all including the owner, Christian, he was always there for me. I can see how much they care about what they do and why they are so successful at what they do. Photos came out great! I am a bit overweight and I honestly look good in the photos and I think its because of the angles. Thank you so much The Talented Photographer team!!!! You made me look beautiful in social media lol!

As a bride who researched constantly for weeks and weeks I must say I kept coming back to this company for the quality of work. Me and my now husband paid for the wedding ourselves...

and one thing we wanted was an amazing photographer. I showed my friends his work and other photographers just to get a different opinion and they all agreed he was the best in the area. When he came to my wedding me and my bridesmaids felt comfortable instantly. He was so sweet and unobstructive. He didn’t require much attention at all and thank god for that because I didnt wan’t a needy or awkward photographer. I think he read me well and adapted to me easily. My photos were gorgeous and we ended up ordering an album too which was so well made and beautiful. We had such a good time during our wedding we even offered him a drink and invited him to dance with us. He was so fun. He had some sort of compact Polaroid printer that day and printed me some polaroids with the photos he took that day with his professional camera and gave a few to my parents as a surprise. My mom cried when she saw the polaroids. He handled people very well during the group photos and this requires a lot of control especially with my drunk friends and he did it so naturally.

We booked Christian for our wedding because we loved his work and saw the reviews. We were glad we did because he was fantastic to work with on the wedding day. He had great ideas ...

for artistic flare to make our pictures one of a kind. The unedited pictures we saw the day of on the camera were amazing, so we cannot wait see the actual pictures. We did a first look on the beach, and he and Kristen (we asked for a 2nd photographer too) made sure to get everyone out of the way and align us to capture this very special moment perfectly. On top of it they were great to work with! We didn’t even realize they were there, as they let us enjoy our moment. Christian and Kristen were great to work with, and Christian was always incredible about getting back quickly to all of our questions leading up. He is very focused on getting perfect shots, and gives many suggestions along the way to capture natural and genuine moments. Helped to make our day relaxed and special. Can’t wait to see the pictures.

for a wedding photographer ... and I couldn't find a better one. I hired him and annoyed him with tons of emails... then I realized that all I had to do from the beginning was relax and let him handle the photography side of things. He is an expert, a master, an icon in the business and I dear you to find someone better. He is also so fun!

My husband and I hired Christian for our wedding and he created the most amazzzzing gallery for us. We shopped around for a while and eventually decided Christian was worth our inv...

estment because of the quality of his work. The photos were exactly how I imagine remembering my wedding day for the rest of my life, and honestly it gave me that fairy tail look I've been imaging since I was a little girl! After all, our photos are the one thing my husband and I really have to represent our wedding to friends and family who couldn't make the event and for years to come. So having a journalistic style documentation was really important to us. And we also wanted photos that were just breathtakingly beautiful, so we could get them printed large format to hang on the wall in our new house. Christian was able to set us up with a book order and the quality large prints we wanted. Christian is really professional, helpful and super fun to work with too! Having him at the wedding made the quests have more fun because of his personality and making people laugh on camera. We are so happy that there are pictures of us, AND of our guests. We LOVE our photos!

fficult to be on camera and I'm not a modal at all lol, and Christian was able to guide the shoot and make us feel comfortable, and the photos looked amazing! He also is able to tell you exactly how to pose, in order to capture that really naturally romantic look you want for your engagement pictures, which really stands out on film. Christian's willingness to go to great lengths to get the best shot, like lying on the ground, climbing through bushes, traveling to a specific location etc, and all of the photos have an gorgeous composition, and very natural look. We felt like we were treated like his best friends at the shoot and he took the time to get to know us over the phone before the shoot and answer any questions we had. Also, the turnaround time is so fast, where as most photographers take months to get your photos back to you. He is a really fun but professional photographer to work with. I highly recommend him!
