Chris is amazing!!

We've known him for a number of years now and worked together on professional and family photoshoots, so it was no brainer when it came time to hire our wedding photographer. From our early planning calls to our engagement shoot, we were reminded of Chris's warmth, professionalism and ability to relax us into amazing shots despite discomfort in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Chris and his second shooter, Zoe, were very prepared and got through our formal shot list very efficiently even with our massive wedding party (28!). We're only a week out from the wedding so photos are forthcoming but it's great to have certainty they'll be incredible. We can't wait to work with Chris again!

Chris with Steele Photography is fantastic! From our engagement session to our wedding, we had so much fun. He made my husband, who hates taking photos, feel so comfortable that we all ended up laughing and having a good time. On our wedding day, Chris was so supportive and worked with our timeline to get the shots we were hoping for. I will definitely be recommending Steele Photography in the future!

Perfection!

Steele Photography is phenomenal! Chris was so efficient, easy going and incredible to work with. He was super considerate, mindful and kept everything on schedule with ease. Plus, I am pretty awkward in photos and he really made it all feel natural and was so encouraging. 10/10 recommend!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I met Chris at a wedding that I was performing. He was the photographer. His presence was never felt during the ceremony and as a result his photos captured every emotion, glance and moment. You could "feel" the joy of the wedding couple in his photos. It was a beautiful wedding and reception and now every moment of it can be re-lived through the photos. I recommend CL Steele for wedding photography.
