November 2025 wedding at the gardens

Kris is very easy to work with. He took a large array of different and creative photos of us and our families. We are really happy with our photo collection. Definitely reach out to Kris if you want some beautiful photographs!

Kris is the best! We will cherish our wedding photos forever!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to have Kris as the photographer for our destination wedding in MX, and we are SO thankful that we did! Kris was incredible to work with at every turn and was so well organized from start to finish. We met a couple times before we flew out to MX and were able to collaborate on our desired timeline for all of the wedding events and share some of the groups and family shots we wanted to make sure got captured. From day one at the resort Kris went above and beyond to capture incredible candids of our guests arriving, groups mingling together as they got settled in the resort, our bridal party working through the rehearsal prep, and everyone coming together for the rehearsal dinner. On the Wedding day it seemed like Kris was able to be in three places at once. He captured beautiful candids of the bridal parties getting ready, some intimate photos with our families, along with photos of the ceremony & reception decorations before guests started to arrive, all before the ceremony even started. The ceremony photos that Kris captured were phenomenal and again made it seem like he was in three places at once! After the ceremony, Kris was able to capture incredible portrait shots of my husband and I that I am obsessed with. Kris gave us great instructions on posing to ensure we were able to get some beautiful shots together which was so helpful, he came so prepared and thought of every single detail. At the cocktail hour and reception Kris captured all of the group and family photos we wanted and went above and beyond capturing speeches, performances, and our guests as they danced the night away! Again, Kris was incredible to work with from start to finish! He was very professional, collaborative, communicative, and went above and beyond every second of our wedding weekend. We are so grateful to Kris for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, look no further!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
