About

Choosing a photographer is the most important decision you will make when planning a wedding. Long after the ceremony, the photographs remain the only memento of the day that truly lasts forever. This is not simply a romantic notion. Images help to enhance and lengthen important and long-standing memories. They have been captured since long before the camera was invented, yet their purpose remains the same.

Having a stranger take pictures of you on an already stressful day can be challenging, and you need a photographer who will make you feel at ease. Fashions and fads change quickly. Our method of photography is natural and fluid. The results are timeless, classic images undiminished by dated themes or excessive digital manipulation. We get the shots right the first time, and have the proper equipment for shooting in a variety of settings. We capture your day with elegance and grace, and enjoy every minute of it.

Christopher Scinta holds an Honours B.A. in Fine Art and Film from Trinity College at the University of Toronto. He specializes in wedding portraiture and is a member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International. Christopher is the exclusive photographer for the Reeds Jenss Wedding Showcase, the official photographer and sponsor for Shakespeare in Delaware Park, and a sponsor of the Buffalo Zoo's annual photography contest and calendar. He performs with the Vocalis Chamber Choir, the Harmonia Chamber Singers, and volunteers for a variety of local charitable and cultural organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, The Burchfield-Penney Art Center, and the SPCA.

We couldn't have been happier with our wedding photos from Chris! He was a pleasure to work with! We had a lot of fun with our group photos and he captured so many great moments throughout the day/night! He had a lot of patience with our big family photos, as well! I hear so many stories of couples who disliked their wedding photos so much that they never got them printed. We can assure you that this will not happen if you choose Chris! Thank you, for capturing our day perfectly!

We are so glad we chose Chris as our wedding photographer!! He was really helpful with the whole planning process (how much time to allot, where to take pictures, etc.). Chris's professionalism, friendly personality, knowledge of lighting and positioning, and punctuality made him a dream to work with. He even dressed up for the wedding!! He and his assistant, Jennifer, got so many great shots and were really unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. I cannot wait to see the pictures and know they will be beautiful! I highly recommend Christopher Scinta Photography!

Working with Chris and his second photographer Dawn was great! From the very start, when looking at different photographers, Chris was professional, straightforward and very helpful. He gave me plenty of information and feedback from our phone conversations, and he was very responsive! He got back to me right away if I called and answered any questions I had! Working with Chris personally through my wedding day was a pleasure! I'm not comfortable in front of a camera, but he made sure to keep the atmosphere light and fun! He also put up with all of my wedding party and family antics! He did really well with the young ring bearer and flower girls too! We've recently gotten our photos and they were well worth the wait! They are wonderful and I couldn't be happier! The second photographer spent the start of the day with the groomsmen, and she got some great pictures of them! I also love all of the pictures she took of our friends and family during the reception! My husband and I ultimately chose Chris for his style of photography and his consistency in high quality, he and Dawn certainly did not disappoint! His services are a little on the higher price, but well worth it! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Chris was great to work with. With our engagement being so long we actually booked Chris early. He stayed in touch with us frequently, always gave us the time to chat and gave us valuable suggestions. On our day he was prompt and even helped my bride getting ready. Chris made us feel comfortable and was a blast to work with. I can't wait to see the photos!

Chris and his assistant photographer were great. They were very professional, dressed well, and very warm/happy to interact with everyone the entire day. The end product (photos) were AMAZING and we couldn't be happier. I would hire Chris again in a heartbeat.

Christopher Scinta is an excellent photographer and I would recommend him to anyone. We booked him upon recommendations from friends, and were extremely pleased with the results. Not only did he take beautiful pictures, but he found a way to really capture the fun that we had that day. He spent all day with us and was always an absolute professional. I couldn’t be more pleased and was thrilled to be able to give pictures to family (another great perk – digital rights!). I have a relative that moonlights as a wedding photographer, but the difference between their photos is unreal – I’m so glad I made the decision to hire Chris.

We used Christopher Scinta for our wedding pictures and I cannot even begin to express how professional, reliable and artistic his work was. He paid great attention to our requests and needs, provided me with over an hour of time just to take bridal portraits alone, and captured my day perfectly. His photos are classic, with great attention to detail, lighting and setting. The quality of his work is timeless. He does not use gimmicks and I appreciated that. He made me feel completely at ease throughout the day, and I was beyond thrilled with how my photos turned out. I have many beautiful posed as well as candid shots, with all of the details I wanted included. (I really wanted a picture of my shoes, my extra long veil, my Grandpa, whose 93rd birthday was the next week and was to be celebrated at my wedding reception, as well as all of my friends and family, etc. ) Chris captured some of the most beautiful and romantic moments between my husband and I, and the photos around my home are proof of his beautiful work. I would recommend his work to anyone who wants a classic and elegant portfolio. He is a consummate professional.

Chris took our wedding photos last year. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful fall day and Chris was able to capture it perfectly. We had a full portfolio, hundreds of photos capturing each important moment and share with all our friends & family for years to come. If you're in need, Chris is worth every penny and we'd recommend him to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
