    Wedding photographer

    We initially chose Chris as our wedding photographer after going through his online portfolio and seeing how creative he is. All of our expectations were surpassed. His laid back personality puts you at ease, and it feels like you are with a friend. Working with the Chris Withers team has been a true joy. Chris and Jessica are out of the box thinkers who manage to capture the most beautiful photos in a detailed way. If you want the best of the best, they are it!!

    Better than I could have hoped !

    We had hired Christopher and Jessica to photograph my daughter’s wedding back in 2014 and I also have been following him on Facebook so I was familiar with his amazing work. He is truly an artist looking through the lens of his heart while photographing a story. Recently, I hired Chris and Jessica to photograph me. They asked multiple questions in order to get a feel for exactly what I wanted to achieve in our session. They both worked extremely well together. Both are very articulate in terms of lighting, props, style, makeup and atmosphere. I felt so well taken care of…I drove from Athens Georgia to Springfield Il for this shoot. They didn’t disappoint! I left their studio feeling well satisfied and heard! I encourage anyone who is interested, in having their “story” told through photography to do it! I highly recommend them both! They are fabulous,caring people as well as excellent professional photographers!

    Goes above and beyond!!

    Chris and Jessica were amazing to work with! On the day of our wedding we had several changes and Chris, Jessica and team pitched in to help make sure everything went smoothly. They went above and beyond and were able to capture everything we asked for and more. Highly recommend this team they truly want to capture your special day. They treat you like family, get to know you and your wants and desires. I am so happy we chose them! Thank you so much for everything! The photos and video were AMAZING. We will cherish these memories forever!

    Couples Photos

    We had the best time shooting with Chris and his wife. They were amazing and so fun to work with! My boyfriend is the one who set up the photos with Chris and by the end of the session I had a fiancé! We are obsessed with the few preview photos he sent us and cannot wait for the rest of them.

    Chris Withers Photography's reply:

    You two were both so nice. It was awesome to see this moment happen for you. Glad we could capture it. I only hope we get to see you become husband and wife as well.

    Absolutely amazing!

    The only complaint I have about Chris Withers Photography is that I wish they lived with us so that they could capture every moment of our lives just as beautifully as they did our wedding!!! Chris and Jessica really went above and beyond for us! First, we got to know each other during our engagement session which was super fun getting to know each other’s personalities and quirks, then once our wedding day came around, it was like being around old friends again just having fun. Most memorably is the moment we realized that my dress alterations were incomplete! My dress had 9 layers and one had been forgotten to be hemmed, even had the sewing pins still attached!! But that was no problem for Jessica, with my permission, she precisely fixed that layer for me. Seriously can’t say enough good things. Great communication throughout the entire experience, professional, fun, energetic, just all around great people. And our photos are ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGG!!! Can’t wait to create our wedding photo album to look at in amazement over the year to come!❤️

    Engagement photo session

    Chris and Jessica were so fun and amazing to work with. The photos from our engagement session turned out so beautifully, they really captured our love. My fiancé asked if they could try doing a long exposure shot with to catch the traffic and then put us in it (pictured) and they were so kind to try and make it happen, it turned out really great!

    Amazing People

    Chris and everybody were extremely friendly and super charismatic. But under that amazing beard is a highly experienced photographer and highly creative person. They are willing to work with you and get the photos that you desire. Nathan and I cried when we saw the photos. They were absolutely prefect. Yes even my double chin face was perfect too. :^)) I can not recommend them enough!

    Listen closely...

    You. Will. Not. Be. Disappointed!!!! I don’t even have words for how awesome this experience was! I’ve only seen one sneak peak of our engagement pictures and I already KNOW they will be amazing!!! The vibe that Chris and Jess give... you can tell that they both LOVE what they do. We connected with them immediately, felt comfortable, and were able to be ourselves and just let go! It’s so important to be able to connect with your photographer, and they both exceeded past our expectations!!! Book them!! No hesitation!

    10 out of 10!

    Chris and his wife Jessica are my new best friends!! I can’t say enough about our amazing experience with these two! Their professionalism, attentiveness, and there overall energy is what you need to have a successful wedding shoot! My guests even pointed out how nice our photographers were. It’s SO IMPORTANT that you have a photographer that you are comfortable with and one you can relate to. They really know how to keep the energy up, and Chris has a great eye for a good photo opportunity! Don’t even second guess yourself… BOOK WITH THEM!

    Speechless and Obsessed!

    We just finished our engagement session and received some sneak peeks and oh. my. goodness. They are amazing! We have had so many people reach out to us since they have been posted telling us how amazing the pictures are and how jealous they are that their engagement (and even wedding) pictures were not as great as ours. We can’t wait to see what the rest of our images look like and we are already anticipating having a hard time picking our favorites! Chris and Jess are so easy to work with and they had us laughing all night long! Bring on the wedding day for even more photo fun and magic!

    From one vendor to another, high quality excellence.

    Chris Withers Photography definitely has a reputation for excellence in our area. Their signature style of photography produces some of the most vibrant and creative images I've seen. Chris and his team are both incredibly imaginative as well as extremely attentive to the smallest details. We (Fun DMC wedding band) have worked as vendors for several weddings together and he and his team are always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for any couple looking for next level, highly creative wedding photos.

    Amazing photographer!

    Chris' portfolio speaks for itself and is the reason we hired him to photograph our wedding. Chris and his wife Jessica were the perfect team, making sure every shot was just right. We couldn't have asked for anything more than we got by hiring Chris. The photos we received are stunning to say the least. We could not recommend him enough. If you are in Central Illinois and looking for a photographer than look no further because Chris is the best in the business, you won't be disappointed!

    A moment of true happiness

    I cant describe how happy we are with our photos from our elopement photoshoot. Ive had the pleasure of working with Chris at my former employer, and was very excited to have him capture our special day. Chris and his team is very professional, extremely creative and easy to work with. I never felt staged or pressured, he captured true moments of happiness.

    Chris and his wife Jessica are wonderful people and equally as wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend them enough. They were the photographers for my wedding and they did a fantastic job. They are prompt, friendly, accommodating, creative and very easy to work with. Seriously, book them.

    A Must Hire!!!

    Chris and Jessica are truly amazing!!! My husband and I didn't get to meet them in person before the wedding. We were able to meet and speak with them via Facebook video chat. From that conversation I knew we had to hire them as our photographers. Their energy was so positive! Fast forward to our wedding day (12/31/19). Chris, Jessica, and their assistant went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. Most importantly when I was upset and freaking out regarding a timeline issue, they calmed me down, adjusted what needed to be done, and found a beautiful place for our first look! They helped make our big day magical! They pictures we've seen so far are beyond amazing!!! They made me cry, and my husband tear up. Through their pictures, we were able to relive our special day. Christopher & Jessica, we cannot thank you enough! We are extremely grateful we found you, and you agreed to capture our big day!

    My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, so of course we went into our engagement shoot a little nervous. The second we walked into the studio with Chris and Jessica they made us feel at home and my nerves instantly disappeared. Chris is not just a photographer, he is an artist with a passion for photography that I’ve never seen before. We had the best time and I’m telling every bride out there looking for a photographer for their wedding.. stop now. You have found him!
