Christopher Gendron Photography

Chris was super great from the start. Very good and open communication as far as expectations from both parties. He always responded and addressed my concerns. On our wedding day he came early, and was very professional the entire day. He's very knowledgeable about lighting and angles. He went above and beyond for us on our special day and after. We got our photos back fast, within a month and they're perfect. Highly recommend him to anyone in the Knoxville/ Gatlinburg area.

Chris was the BEST decision we made for our wedding day! He made us feel so comfortable from our engagement session to the wedding day. He truly does everything he can for his clients. Everyone has absolutely LOVED our photos. Chris is truly the BEST in the business and is a dream to work with. I am so thankful and grateful that we got to have him as our wedding photographer. THANK YOU!

Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only was he great at providing direction and capturing our unique personalities, he also has an incredible eye for detail and lighting. Throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day, we knew we were in capable, creative hands and we can’t wait to see the results!

We hired Chris for our August 15th wedding after our first photographer wasn't able to due to the virus. He was absolutely wonderful! He was very responsive to my emails and questions. He was very easy to work with. We enjoyed his fun personality and flexibility. He was willing to go to several locations, including my in laws for a little gathering after since we couldn't have a reception. We had a great time taking pictures, he made us feel relaxed and encouraged us to be ourselves. He is great at taking candid photos. He really gets into his work and you can tell he enjoys it. He climbed on a railing, got a bit wet in a creek, and got into the trees to get beautiful shots. Our pictures are gorgeous. Everyone from the wedding really enjoyed him and still talk about him. I really liked that he is unlimited time so you don't have to feel constrained. He took over 2,000 pictures. He really made our day wonderful in the midst of a lot of challenges with the virus. We would definitely recommend Chris to anyone.

Hiring Chris Gendron Photography was the best decision I made for my wedding. He is very talented, professional, responsive and fun to work with. From the first consultation, I knew he was the photographer I was looking for. His works are stunning. What I love about his photography is he captured best moments without needing to stage them. Everything came out naturally and amazing. All my family and friends love our pictures. He offers full day coverage which is a lot better than limited time like other photographers. Engagement session is also included. One plus thing I like about Chris is he is always on time and ready to go. I would recommend him over and over for everyone.

I'm sure as a nervous bride you have read a bunch of glowing reviews for photographers. But I have to say with Chris, NOTHING is exaggerated. He was hands down my best, and well worth the money, expense. From our engagement session that left us with TONS of stunning pictures to use to our actual wedding day, everything was perfect. He came well prepared, with a plan and several back up plans and made me feel beautiful and my husband comfortable. Worth EVERY PENNY. Stop looking at other photographers and just hire Chris. You will not regret it.

We loved everything about working with Chris, from the moment we had our initial conversation to seeing our wedding pictures returned in about two weeks. In that time, Chris was always calm and communicative, happy to give advice at just the right points. We also found Chris delivers tremendous value for the quality and the sheer amount of photos he delivers. Thank you so much Chris!

I'm generally not one to leave reviews online, but I wanted to express how happy we were to have Chris as our photographer. He was incredibly professional, flexible, understanding, and had a FANTASTIC sense of humor. We are so grateful for all of his help and for helping to keep us sane during a hectic wedding day!

Chris fixed my boutonniere, put in my wife's veil, worked with our families and friends to keep everyone comfortable throughout the day, and was just so supportive throughout the whole wedding.

Having him be a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Engagement pics were fabulous! Can’t wait to see wedding pics! Photographer was taking pics during entire ceremony and reception! Great to work with!

Chris was the best decision we made on our wedding day. Having someone who is passionate about photography makes a world of difference. He helped us customize our entire day and was flexible, caring, and he made us feel so comfortable and happy. Even when we changed our venue the day before the wedding he was so accommodating. The quality and quantity of service was so impressive. All of our guests could not stop talking about how great Chris was. If we could give Chris 10/5 stars we would.

The most important vendor to us on our wedding day was our photographer, as the pictures are the thing we'll keep and look back on time and time again. Of all the photographers we met with, Chris was easily our favorite! He is very professional, responsive, and honest, and we loved that he would stay to capture our whole special day. Chris took both our engagement photos and wedding day photos, and my goodness were all the photos amazing! Our wedding photos were all so beautiful we're still having trouble deciding which to frame, and friends and family say they look like they're from a magazine.
Working with Chris was lovely, he had good suggestions for locations for our engagement photos and around the wedding venue grounds, he guided us well to capture the best shots, he captured all the little details of the day I didn't think to ask for, he came early on our wedding day so we could do a special photoshoot at a beautiful spot near the venue, and was SUPER quick delivering the photos to us afterwards. I'll happily recommend Chris to anyone who needs photos. Hire this guy with confidence!

Chris is so gifted and a true professional. We loved his online portfolio, and as soon as we met up with him, we knew we'd found the photographer for our wedding. His responses were prompt and clear, his prices are incredible for the value you get (all day, assistant photog, unlimited locations, look book, rights to all photos), and best of all, the final result was simply stunning. It was everything we wanted. Chris skillfully guided us to beautiful locations and poses so that we would have the perfect wedding memories together.

I want to share another personal story that makes Chris so special. In the run up to the wedding, my dad was becoming increasingly ill with cancer. The date was already locked in on the earliest day we could manage it, and we weren't sure if he would make it. My family came up with the idea of doing a portrait session with just me, my fiance, and my parents. I explained the idea to Chris and he not only drove from Seattle to Milton to make it happen for us, he captured 200+ beautiful shots and turned them around for us in just a couple days -- and he only asked for gas money. This meant so much to me because we were able to get photos of dad "walking me down the aisle" at our special photo shoot. On the day of the wedding, dad escorted me down the aisle in a wheelchair, and we're so happy to have both of these gorgeous sets. Chris was on top of every special moment throughout the day, providing us even more beautifully captured photos to cherish. I can never thank him enough for these priceless gifts.

Chris has my strongest recommendations in every regard.

We were very pleased with Chris' work for our engagement and wedding photography. He really helped direct the shots and organize the group shoots. It was also great to do the engagement shoot before and understand how he works. We knew going into the wedding we would be happy with his work! We also never felt pressured for time & that was nice that he doesn't nickel and dime you like other photographers & we got all of the photos he took too.

My husband and I loved working with Chris!! We did our engagement photos and our wedding photos with him. He is so easy going, makes you feel good about yourself, and has an eye for unique and beautiful photos! He was great at communicating through out the whole process. He was professional and fun to be around.

He was super flexible! We lived far away from where he was located but he never had an issue meeting us where we wanted. When we scheduled our engagement session the first time it ended up pouring down rain. He said if we were down to do our session in the rain he would be a trooper with us which I thought was awesome he would get rained on for us. Luckily my husband was not wanting to do pictures in the rain, although they probably would have looked awesome. We ended up having to reschedule for another day that wasn't scheduled to rain. He drove over an hour to meet us but had to drive all the way back home and he was so nice about it, even though I felt super bad. :)

He was very quick with getting pictures edited and back to us in a timely manner. I cannot express how amazing this man is! The day of our wedding he came bright and early to my hotel to take pictures of the girls and I getting ready. He then drove to the venue and continued snapping pictures away. He also had a second photographer which I thought was great for capturing all of our special moments. They did an amazing job! I loved every moment of working with him. If I had to choose a photographer again for whatever reason, I would choose Chris every time! Words cannot express how great he was in every single way! THANK YOU CHRIS for everything you did for us. Literally EVERYTHING.
