  Outstanding!

  They are so professional, kind and talented! I highly recommend having your wedding at Bridge Street Chapel and having them photograph for you. Such a gorgeous venue and when you see your pictures it will blow you away!

  Wonderful!

  Chris and Mary are so wonderful to work with! They took time to really understand what we were looking for, and were happy to answer any questions that we had. The photos turned out beautifully and we are SO happy that they were able to work us in! Thanks So Much Chris & Mary!

  I am absolutely ecstatic with the work and customer service provided by Chris. He photographed my sister-in-law's wedding last December, and his work was stunning - we (all the family and bridal party) loved working with him. The pictures couldn't have been any nicer. I was so impressed that when I got pregnant this year and wanted maternity photos, I knew he would be my first stop.
  
  He was incredibly accommodating, and wanted to hear about what I had envisioned and how he could best provide that for me. He gave me a Pinterest board and let me fill it with my ideas and visions.
  At the shoot itself, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was funny and helpful and kind, but more importantly, he really listened to what we were looking for and did everything he could to provide it.
  
  This is my first pregnancy, and I couldn't have imagined better pictures to showcase our journey and the pending arrival of our son. We already have sent them to friends and family who were blown away - and one will soon be hanging in our son's nursery.
  
  Hopefully in a few months, we'll be back to see him for photos of the three of us as a new family.
  
  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  Our wedding was over 9 months ago and I still look at our pictures on a regular basis. Chris and his wife did a phenomenal job of capturing our day and I would not hesitate to recommend them. He was always available prior to the wedding to answer any questions that I had and always answered in a timely fashion. I tend to be photo shy and feel awkward when I get in front of a camera but Chris' calm demeanor helped to put me at ease. Things got a little chaotic after the ceremony while taking group shots but Chris was still able to get all the shots we wanted. He recommended that we wait until sunset to go back out for shots of my husband and I, and I am so happy we trusted him because they turned out absolutely stunning with the sunset in the background. From start to finish there was never a doubt in my mind that we chose the right person for the job. We got so many pictures I still don't know how to decided which are my favorites and an added bonus is we get an annual session with him! If you are looking for someone who has an eye of art and what looks good, book Holmes Photography!

  Holmes Photography did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. The photos and photo album we received were such high quality! They were so easy to work with, flexible and understanding, and were so friendly. I highly recommend them for photos to help you remember every detail of your big day!

  As a photographer and graphic designer myself, I was very concerned about getting quality photography for my wedding. But, we were on a budget that left us with almost no options. I sent out a few emails months in advance to photographers I liked, asking if there was anything they could do given how tight the money was. Chris Holmes wrote me back a very sweet reply, saying he just could not commit to a wedding in peak season that early on at a discount, but that if he did not get booked for that day, we might be able to work something out closer to the date. Long story short, I tried to work with another man who ended up being vastly unprofessional, and I emailed Chris again. Somehow, they had not been booked for that day, and we worked out a special plan that involved me doing a lot of the post-processing that they normally do (Chris was still very careful about this, and looked at my portfolios to make sure that my post-editing would represent his work in the manner that it deserved--which I have great respect for). We would for sure have Chris as the photographer, and there was a chance we would have one or two others as well.
  
  Well, it turns out, not only did we get what was promised, but we got two MORE photographers, and they even stayed for part of the reception. It was so above and beyond in every way. Not to mention, one of my bridesmaid's fathers is an amateur photographer--usually, professional photographers do not allow any other photography of their posed shots besides their own, and are not generally happy about other people shooting that could get in their way. But Chris let him shoot during the posed shots and even gave him some pointers. It was truly gracious of him to do that.
  
  We had a little foible about getting the pictures back that I was a little miffed about at the time, but that was nothing compared to everything they did for us. I did get the photos back in a timely manner, and I have nothing but rave reviews for Chris and Gay!

  Chris and Gay were completely professional and helpful, and really helped keep us relaxed the day of our wedding. The amazing thing we noticed (but only after the day was over) was that, while they were there the entire time taking photos of us and others, they were completely quiet about it to the point where we didn't really recognize their presence, which was SO important to us. Yet, they still got wonderful photos that represented a photojournalistic account of our special day. We are completely happy with the services. Thank you!!

  We loved our wedding photos from Chris and Gay - they are an amazing husband and wife team - paid great attention to detail and caught many things at the reception that we would have never ever saw, if it wasn't for the pictures. Great, high quality photos and albums - I would highly highly recommend them!!

  This vendor also provides photography services. The chapel is set up for music with speakers in the walls that can be played on a computer or cd player or whatever you want. You can have musicians come in. There are also suites for both the Bride and the Groom. The Bridal Suite is beautiful and has everything you could possible want/need. The stain glass windows and alter add a warm touch to the quaint feel of the chapel. I highly recommend this venue, Chris and Gay are great to work with and they go above and beyond to take care of you.

  I loved my pictures, but it seemed like it took forever to get them back, almost two month! Maybe that's the normal with busy photographers. Chris is very professional and his wife is sweet, they made us feel comfortable and were able to capture great pictures with my family.

  Holmes Photography's reply:

  Hi Marwa - Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. Yes with the amount of retouching and editing we do (as well as a full schedule during peak months) we make sure to take the time and effort to make your photos perfect for the many decades to come that you and your family will enjoy them. The comparatively short amount of time waiting for the finished images - to us - is worth the quality and lifelong treasured moments we created and captured for you and your families. We hope you agree!

  When we were shopping around for a wedding photographer, we looked at a lot of websites. Nothing really stood out to me until I visited Chris Holmes' website. Chris and Gay Holmes and their associates are wonderful photographers! Our wedding pictures are phenomenal! The quality of the pictures were well worth the price! Our photographers were at our wedding on time and took pictures non-stop through our entire event. The service leading up to our wedding and during our wedding was great. However, we did have a to wait quite awhile for our prints. There were some mixups on the processing and our wedding "fell through the cracks". The miscommunication following our wedding was disappointing, however, when we did get our photos they were impressive. To be fair, Chris and Gay Holmes operate their own business and were also in the process of renovating a wedding chapel to expand their business. They also handle all of the photo processing for all weddings they and their associates shoot. I thought the service following the wedding could have been better but they did compensate for the errors by giving us additional prints that were not in our original package and were very obliging. I think if they had some additional support staff they could have delivered a spectacular wedding package from start to finish. Overall I would recommend them for the quality of their photographs. If you like photojournalism over traditional photography, these are the photographers for you!

  I loved working with Chris from engagement photos to the wedding. I went with one of the packages that included 2 photographers for 8 hours and it was definitely a good price compared to other photographers. I would recommend him to future brides or anyone who is looking for a great photographer.
