A Stand-Out Team!

Chris and Shawna were a delight to work with from the initial meeting to our wedding day. We valued being able to have low stress conversations regarding wedding details and our shared nerdy interest. It never seemed like they were there to just take pictures, record videos and be done. They were there to truly capture the vision and make a lasting impact on us as the couple and everyone who was a part of our special day. They know how to make you feel comfortable and have fun at the same time. The whole experience was easy and felt like we were working with friends! We could not recommend Chris and Shawna more!

Love, Kimberly and Jay

Hire them!

Professional, brilliant, efficient, and fun! What a joy it was to have Shawna and Chris photograph our wedding! Everyone at the wedding mentioned how much of a joy it was to have them around. They are truly a great bang for your buck! We only had a brida suite at the venue so my husband had to get dressed with his groomsmen at the hotel. Shawna stayed with me and the bridesmaids to get content while Chris met at the hotel to capture the guys getting ready. They kept to our tight schedule with ease and worked together to get some amazing shots. Before the big day they send a questionnaire a few weeks out that helps them capture your vision for the day ahead of time. So glad we decided to go with them and would love to do something again with them in the future! Highly recommend you hire them!

Best decision we made for our wedding!

Choosing Chris and Shawna as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They consistently went above and beyond all our expectations.

From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease. Throughout the entire planning process and on the big day itself, we never once worried about our photos because we knew we were in the absolute best hands. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were unmatched.

Chris and Shawna truly thought of everything. They didn’t just show up and take beautiful photos (which they absolutely did!) — they were present, supportive, and attentive to every little detail. Chris even helped the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres when none of them knew how. That perfectly captures who they are: so thoughtful and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. They made us, our family, and our friends feel comfortable and genuinely cared for.

We love them and truly cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering booking Chris and Shawna, do it — you will be so grateful you did. They are simply the BEST!

The Gmelch Wedding

There aren’t words to describe how thankful, and happy, and joyful, I am for Chris, Shawna, and their team. They have photography, filming, “right hand man”, “right hand woman, “comdians” and everything else in between down to a science! Our every request was already thought of. They went above and beyond their profession to literally make our day the most special. I sincerely appreciate everything that was done for us.

The best experience we could ask for!

Chris & Shawna are the best husband & wife duo you could ask for. We were lucky to have them come film and photograph our destination wedding weekend in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Their dedication, passion, and commitment are all unmatched. The vision that they have individually and together is absolutely amazing. Not only do they make this process fun, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone but also their work they produce is amazing!! We love how personable and professional they can be. We hope to recommend them to everyone whether it is for a local or destination event and looking forward to having them photograph our future life milestones. Thank you Fredericks Photo & Films!! You are absolutely amazing.

Perfect experience!

I’m not even sure on what to say, this team treated us so well that in all of our sessions it felt more like hanging out with friends than taking photos. From the moment we met to the reception it felt like this team was just a part of the family and I couldn’t have asked for me.
