Perfectly magical

Chris at 27 Wonders photography was a dream to work with! She somehow found all of the most perfect moments to capture, the photographs literally illustrate a fairy tale. She embedded herself in the day and included all of my family in her magic. She took the extra time to get to know people and the relationships and ins and outs of everyone in attendance. I recommend her with all of my heart.

I'm so glad we worked with 27 Wonders

We are so happy with how our engagement photos came out. They are better than we could have imagined. Aside from her beautiful photography skills, Chris made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. I don't think our photos would have been as stunning without her helping us relax and show our true selves. It is also so important to have a great team that you love working with for your wedding. Working with 27 Wonders was professional but also like working with a good friend. Such a great addition to our wedding team. Thank you so much!!

Chris was the best wedding photographer we could dream of! She put everyone at ease during the event and photographed all the most important moments in a very unique and amazing way. I love photography so I was very picky about finding someone truly talented in photography :) I also wanted to have a mix of film and digital photography, and a more documentary approach, avoiding cheesy pictures. Chris respected my wishes, and made the best pictures ever!! The result is really wonderful and I am so glad I picked her for such an important event. Really loved working with her, and would recommend her 10000 %!

Chris did an amazing job photographing my fiancée and I at the hotel where I proposed. She immediately put us at ease, listened to what we were looking for, had a host of wonderful suggestions. The photos Chris took are stunning. She’s an extremely talented photographer, but what sets Chris apart is her patience, her kindness, and the way she made my fiancée and feel so incredibly comfortable. I can’t recommend 27 Wonders highly enough!

Chris is a natural, and an amazing choice for your wedding photographer. She was extremely personable and flexible, and was committed to all the specific details that would make our wedding special. She was able to capture what was important and unique about us and our friends and family, the small, quiet moments leading up to the wedding, and all of the high points throughout. She felt like part of the family, and her images were both intimate and artful, able to capture so many beautiful moments in a truly evocative way. She was extremely professional, clearly very experienced and passionate about her work, and able to make everyone comfortable and confident and guide us seamlessly through the process. She also has a sense of humor, meaning she understands the fine balance between doing serious work and taking yourself too seriously, especially amidst such joy and high emotion, when it’s important to be able to stop and take a deep breath and look around every once and awhile. She communicates very well, both in a collaborative sense, in terms of style and content and what was important to us, as well as logistics. She worked with us collaboratively through meetings and questionnaires, helping us figure out what to expect and focus on. Photos being one of the most important parts of such a huge, important day, we knew right away that we were in good hands and that not only would we be taken care of and have no worries, but we would come away with a set of stunning, beautiful photos. Our expectations were far surpassed. If you are looking for a photographer who is professional, artful, easy to work with, and attuned to your distinct style and personality, you could do no better than 27 Wonders.

Chris is an amazingly talented photographer. Her style is so beautiful and artistic. I could not be more pleased with our wedding photos. She captured every single moment so perfectly. Looking back through all the photos I can't even understand how she was in every place at once, she did not miss a thing. We wanted a modern documentary style and she provided exactly that. But she was also very patient with us and provided all the portrait shots we wanted as well. Chris is extremely kind and friendly, with all the stress of the day she was super supportive and made things flow easily and provided us with a ton of support. We could not of chosen a better photographer, she is great to work with and provided us with over a thousand stunning photos. I highly recommend 27 Wonders Photography, Chris is fantastic and you will get a truly incredible gallery of photos.

Chris did the most amazing job shooting our wedding. From the group pictures to the unexpected shots, they were all beautiful. She presented them to us in a gorgeous photo album that we treasure. I highly recommend 27 wonders to any person needing photo work done, she has a way with light & color and is so very good at what she does!

Chis is a wonderful, and creative photographer. She is flexible, and easy to work with. Her use of natural light, and creative style were exactly the perfect match for our outdoor wedding at the base of Mt. Rainier in a mossy- rain forest labyrinth. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her. Her photos of our wedding were stunning! She was able to capture every detail in a way no one else could have done. Definitely hire Chris for your next event. She will do an incredible job!
