Chris Parypa was a FANTASTIC photographer to work with, and I recommend him to anyone. He photographed our June 27, 2015 wedding in Ocean City, Maryland. We did our photos before the wedding, so we would have more time to enjoy cocktail hour with our guests. He asked me if I was doing a "reveal" (for the groom to see me in my dress for the first time), and truthfully, I hadn't thought of it. So he arranged the reveal for us on the beach, just like that. It's amazing how something I didn't know I wanted turned out to be a favorite memory of my wedding day and some of my favorite pictures that he captured. He has a fantastic eye for photography and really captured everything just how I see it in my memory. I hate how I look in pictures, but I looked great in every single one of his... and he didn't doctor them up, either. I got them in an online gallery the very next day, so how could he have had time?! He is just so great at capturing the beauty of the moment, which is a real talent. His price is very reasonable, and his photo package (we did the higher tier) is very worth it. His website for ordering prints, albums, and digital copies of photos is very easy to use (my album came out perfect!). Besides being a great photographer, he is a very nice person. He tell he genuinely wanted to do his absolute best with our pictures not just for his business's sake, but because he wanted us to enjoy and appreciate them for years. He is passionate about his job, which is artful and beautiful photography. He is a kind and wonderful person and we have been lucky to work with him. When we go back to Maryland years from now, possibly with children, I hope he is still around and successful and would photograph our family at the beach. I would recommend him to anyone for wedding photography, family portraits, engagement photos, or anything. He has a great eye for photography and was a pleasure to work with.

Chris was my mother's photographer for her wedding in September, and after seeing her pictures, I knew I wanted to book him for my wedding too. He is very fun and easy-going. The greatest thing about Chris, is his turn-around time. My wedding was on a Sunday, and I received an email with a link to my pictures within 48 hrs. Chris will now be our family photographer, so once we have kids, he will be the one to take our kids photos.

I can't rate Chris highly enough! My now husband and I are not the best photo takers or creative people, but Chris helped give us ideas and tell us how to pose without making any of the photos look forced or awkward. He also took so many wonderful candid shots! We did have a few ideas (from Pinterest) and Chris knew exactly what we wanted. The photos turned out perfect!

Chris took pictures for my family to capture my father-in-law re-proposing (after 30+ years of marriage) to renew their vows on the beach, the ceremony following and then family photos. Chris did a great job! He helped us capture the moments and did a most excellent job. He was even able to help capture smiles from the familys babys. Chris was a great photographer! He also got us the photos extremely fast. We were very pleased with Chris's photography and his talent!

Chris did an amazing job with our wedding pictures. He had great ideas and was very go with the flow. I will be calling him to do future pictures for us. He was very organized and knew what he was doing. Everything got done at a great price and the pictures where done, edited, and up on his website in no time. If your looking for a great wedding photographer this is your man or just great pictures in general. He helped make our day even more special.

Chris is an incredibly talented photographer!!! I suffer from facial palsy and HATE to have my photgraph taken as a result. There is not one picture that Chris took where I do not feel like the beautiful bride I was. Most of his photos are not staged, and were candid shots that captured emotion in the shots. I was never aware of his presense during the wedding ceremony. Very unobtrusive to the moment.
He made sure that we had all of the shots that we wanted asking us several times if there were any other shots that we were looking for.
The turnaround process to get the photos was fast! The next day we were able to log onto the website and view our pictures AND share the link on FaceBook with our family and friends. Ordering was only difficult because there were so many unbelievable photos to choose from... and that was a fantastic problem to have.
I would definately use Chris again for any professional photo needs that I may have in the future. His price was very competive and combined with his talents, was very much a bargain!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
