#LoveInTheTimeofCovid

Have you ever met someone and known right away that they were going to be someone incredibly important in your life? I mean, we're all looking at wedding photographers, so I would assume so, but I mean in strictly a platonic way. That was the feeling when Chris was introduced into our lives and we have Facebook algorithms to thank for that. From Day 1, he made us feel at ease and embraced our quirks amazingly. He is so, so responsive and I can't say enough about how great that has been during this global health crisis. We ended up having to reschedule when we actually got married (from September to a Zoom ceremony in May) and he not only made the time for us to take photos of our Zoom ceremony but was incredibly empathic about the whole thing. When you've been dreaming of your wedding your entire life and then it gets thrown upside down, it meant the absolute world that Chris was able to not only be there to document it but that he truly cared about our happiness and well-being. I can't wait to work with him in the future and I hope you'll do the same.

AMAZING Photographer

Chris was truly fantastic to work with from start to finish! I worked with Chris during a wedding I coordinated a few years ago and he was fantastic to work with - now, I have worked with him under a client/vendor relationship and truly, my expectations were blown! Chris accomodated all of my requests and more. When I wasnt expecting him to be there for a photo, he was there. He truly caught every single moment, big or little and I couldnt be more grateful. He was tactful and not in your face, but also there at every moment. My friends and family were so impressed and so was I! His pricing was reasonable and truly, the product is amazing! Our engagement session was perfect and we love our photos and so was our wedding day! Chris had fun ideas and he brought so much amazing talent and passion to the photography - he showcased our personalities, love, and compassion with ease. I would recommend him any day!

Wouldn't change a thing!

There are no words to express how grateful we are that we found Photography Stiles! Chris' personality and professionalism shown through from our very first phone call. He instantly made us feel relaxed! We first got to see him in action at our engagement shoot. We were so nervous because we had never had pictures done before. He was there early and scoped out the area so he had a solid plan! He put us at ease quickly by turning poses into fun games and scenarios! We had a blast! The experience alone was great but then we got the pictures. We were absolutely blown away! They were beautiful! We couldn't wait for him to photograph the wedding! Wedding day came and again he was kind, professional, and funny! His knowledge and passion for his craft is enviable. Then as a surprise he had a sneak peak of our photos after dinner at the wedding! What?!! They were gorgeous and were displayed for all on the bar!! It was so amazing and truly magical!! We could not recommend Chris enough! He is truly a master at what he does!!

Makes you feel like his only couple!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to have Chris as our wedding photographer. With so many wedding vendors, I had to wonder if they were still on track for our wedding or if they'd forgotten about us. With Chris, we never had to worry about that. He was SO attentive, went out of his way to stay in touch with us, and was just so friendly and fun to get to know throughout the process! By the time he arrived when I was getting ready on my wedding day, I felt like we had a good friend showing up. The quality of his photos and his professionalism while making us feel at ease and capturing authentic photos was just the cherry on top. Our pictures are gorgeous! We've gotten so many compliments on them and will always cherish them. Thank you, Chris!!

Hire Chris, He's the best of the best

Chris is amazing and went above and beyond the best photographer. We first met at a Wedding show at the Oakdale, he and his wife were at the show and I was impressed with their booth. Their personalities were so down to earth and fun, and after I started following Photography Stiles on Instagram it was all history. He is exactly like his is in his reels, dorky, knowledgeable, funny, smart, and very personable. From the start he was very focused on what we wanted to see when we looked over everything. Leading up to the wedding we were experiencing the first stretch of Covid and he was so helpful in setting a backup date and working through all the twists and turns that was 2020/2021. When our backup date came near we did a walk through since he had never been to the location of our wedding, The New Haven Lawn Club. There are so many spots to take photos that we geeked out about them all. When the day came I had complete trust in his work and experience, and he did not disappoint. That day we had so much fun with him and Jen, we basically thought of them as part of the party. We had so much fun taking photos with them. They were warm and welcoming to all our family and friends. When the photos came I was blown away!! These photos are amazing!! I will cherish them forever.

Amazing Photographer

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! I was always a big believer that everything happens for a reason and working with him proved that to be true. I plan weddings for a living and when it was time to plan my own I originally booked another photographer. Well, thanks to covid we ended up postponing twice and ended up with a date that our first photographer wasn’t available for. Enter Chris! I had worked a wedding with him a couple years prior and was so impressed with his professionalism, easy going personality, and of course the beautiful photos that he took- that I knew he was the right photographer for us. He put up with all my calls freaking out about covid and my big crazy family and made it look effortless. Not to mention he got all of our photos back to us in three weeks (which is basically unheard of)! If you are looking for a photographer who takes stunning photos and is an absolute pleasure to work with- look no further!

One of the best decisions I made!

Chris and team were absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, Chris was responsive, welcoming and flexible through every step of the process. The photos look amazing and Chris made it a JOY to be photographed instead of just one more thing to do on ourwedding day. THANK YOU!

Incredible Wedding Photographer!

Chris was everything we were hoping to find in a photographer and more. From day one we could tell how professional, attentive, and supportive he was. From the portraits down to the weather decisions, he made everything easy. Leading up to our day, Chris provided us with a planner so that we were able to specify all the shots we wanted, and to make sure that everyone was on the same page about our day-of timeline. He answered our many questions and gave us guidance regarding our wedding day forecast (it was supposed to rain all week!). On the day-of, he was on time, prepared, and efficient! He worked through our entire portrait list without us having to worry about anything, and captured so many special, candid moments. Chris was also so quick to return our photos- without compromising quality whatsoever. The moments he captured are beautiful, and will be hanging all over our house for the years to come. We can’t thank Chris enough for all of his hard work and incredible skill. We HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding day!

Best wedding planning decision

My husband and I both full heartedly agree that choosing Photography Stiles was our best wedding planning decision. From the very first phone call with Chris, he was so kind and so focused. In person, his laid back energy immediately calmed us during our engagement session. (Which was SO much fun.) After meeting him, and seeing his beautiful work, we knew we needed his talent and humor on our wedding day as well.

In the months leading up to the wedding, he was always quick to answer emails and offer assistance. Also love the ease of his online platform to make payments and view our photos as well. We so appreciate that he took the time to get to know us and our tastes before the wedding too.

On our wedding day he was beyond amazing. Chris, and his second shooter Jen beautifully captured every moment of that long, and special day, while also helping to coordinate the entire time! So grateful for the extra care and effort they both put in to help ensure everything went smooth.

And of course, forever thankful for our beautiful photos. So many came out absolutely stunning. The mix of arsty shots and traditional portraits was exactly what I was hoping for.

We SO highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, personable, hardworking, beyond amazing photographer.

Also recommend following him on instagram, where you'll find beautiful photos, weather info, and get some good laughs :)

Thank you so very much!

Beautiful photos!

From the very first phone call, I could tell that Chris was kind, experienced, and had the exact photography style we were looking for. He did such an amazing job capturing fun reception shots, the most beautiful moments of our church ceremony, and the happiness on everyone's faces in between. He was so calm and professional to work with on our wedding day, and our family couldn't believe how well he just blended in and captured special moments without interrupting. I am absolutely thrilled with our pictures after receiving our digital gallery and cannot wait to start ordering prints!! I highly recommend Photography Stiles!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
