Verified reviews from real couples

We were so happy to discover there was an option to have Chris and Ana through the Luxury Package, and it ended up being the best experience we could have imagined. They made the whole day feel relaxed, comfortable, and easy — almost like having friends there guiding us through everything. Our video feels like a professional movie made from our own wedding day, and the photos are honestly art. We already have images we want to put in our home because they feel like museum pieces, but with us as part of the story. We’re so grateful and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.

We didn’t want traditional wedding coverage, and this team completely understood that. They approached the day almost like artists, focusing on mood, movement, and storytelling rather than checklists. The photos feel intimate and raw, and the video captures the energy of the day in a way that still gives us chills. It feels less like a wedding recap and more like a short film about us.

For the quality and experience we got, it felt like a 100% win for the price. We’re very happy with our decision and would absolutely recommend this team to anyone.

ly, checked in with us, and somehow kept everything calm even when we were running behind (which happened more than once ). They gave us gentle direction when we needed it, but the best part is that most of our photos look like real moments — not forced smiles or awkward poses. Our families keep saying how talented the team was and how they seemed to be everywhere at once without interrupting anything. The candid photos of our parents laughing, our friends dancing like crazy, and us sneaking a moment alone — those are the ones that mean the most. The editing is beautiful too — not overdone, just timeless and bright. We’ve already printed a bunch for our home and my mom carries her favorites on her phone to show literally everyone she meets . We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better memories. I’d recommend them 100% and already did to one of my friends who is getting married next year!

y. on the wedding day they were so relaxed it actually made ME relax (and i was a total ball of nerves lol). what i love most is how natural everything feels—like we weren’t even “posing,” just living the day. the video especially caught me off guard in the best way… hearing our voices, the music, the laughter, it’s like being pulled right back into that moment. photos are gorgeous too, sharp and artistic but still real. our families keep saying how professional and kind they were, and honestly i agree 100%. i’m just glad i have these memories forever.

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!

She is also very smart and she solved a problem we had with our planning (which was a mistake on the wedding planners side) and she kind of saved the day honestly. 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!

(over 600 edited photos) which I thought was very good especially with my wedding not being over the top. A lot of candids, editorial, and fun photos. He did a great job and I ordered an album the album was also pretty beautiful! The album was well made and I can tell they put thought into the design also.

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.

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!

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!
