Photographed my Airbnb services perfectly!

I am new on Airbnb as a service and Chad was my photographer. He did such a great job on my pictures and made me feel very comfortable while doing so! I had a little trouble with the theme of my services at the last minute, but he fixed it right away! and we continued on with the photoshoot! Thank you so much for helping me offer a great experience and giving me such a great experience while taking this photo shoot! I wish you many blessings more on your journey!!

Great value, amazing photos!

We worked with Chad for our October wedding. He was professional and supportive, we aren’t people who have professional photos taken. He was also so affordable and made everything so easy and smooth.

Chad has done my last 3 photo shoots and all of them have been nothing short of amazing. His professionalism is unmatched. Always on time and always prepared even beyond my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend him for whatever your photography needs entail.

Most Amazing Photographer

Look no further for your wedding photographer! Chad and his crew is simply amazing. These guys work! You don’t even realize that they are capturing the most poignant moments. The shots that they captured were amazing. His professionalism was unmatched. He gives you the option to get as creative or take as many pictures as desired. He and his son have the best attitude! They do not get impatient, and the quality of the pictures were simply amazing. We have nearly 1,000 pictures and 5 highlight videos. His gallery is online so easily accessible. Our pictures are at our fingertips. He shot the bride and groom at each of their respective locations. He was on time and hung around for the duration to get all of the perfect shots. I feel like he didn’t miss a thing. He captured every detail, every guest, every moment. I will cherish these pictures forever. Chad is no rookie! He knows how to get that perfect shot! We have been blown away by our pictures and how fast the turnaround was! We have already received our pictures, videos, and drive/DVD and our wedding was less than a week ago. Our experience was top notch with Chad Populius (CGP Entertainment Holdings)! You won’t regret his services. The kindest, most professional photographers. Makes you feel like family!
