    Chris and Kristy gave us stunning engagement and wedding photos! We were impressed with them through the whole process and blown away by the final pictures! They were very organized and made sure to understand every detail of our day and the style and poses we wanted for our photos. When the day came, they were flexible with the rain and had no problem when we needed to adjust the schedule. They were exactly where they needed to be and were very efficient throughout the whole day. Family pictures were a breeze and we even ended them ahead of schedule! Chris and Kristy were extremely easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera.
    We loved all of the pictures we got back and had so many favorites from both our engagement and wedding! We could not be happier and would definitely recommend.

    We are so happy we chose Chris and Kristy for our wedding photography. All of the photos were beautiful! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and took tons of awesome candid shots which is exactly what we were looking for. They were super easy to work with and flexible when we had a few schedule changes throughout the day which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend them, they are AWESOME!

    Chris and Kristy were very easy to work with, and great over email/Skype while I was planning my wedding out of state. They did a site visit beforehand, and it showed on the day of that they were prepared. Overall they were incredibly professional and friendly, and their pricing was very reasonable.

    Chris and Kristy were one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding! From start to finish they were completely amazing! They really made sure to get to know us and what we wanted before our wedding. They also looked at all of the places we were going to be before the wedding which was amazing of them! When our big day finally rolled around they made it so everything went smoothly. We were a little nervous about how the weather would be especially with a winter wedding, but they used the beautiful fog from that day and we could not be happier. The entire day they did everything they could to make sure we were happy and captured so many beautiful moments! Looking back through our pictures lets us relive our special day over and over! We would recommend Chris and Kristy to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer! There are not words for how grateful we are to have had them on our big day! Thank you so much Chris and Kristy you are by far the best!!

    We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Chris and Kristy Photography for your wedding day. First, the planning phase was easy and actually quite fun; they are very professional and organized. We planned from out of town, but they were flexible and met us when we could visit. On our wedding day, they were friendly and efficient ALL day (and it was a long day!). We got married on NYE in Minneapolis, so it was a LITTLE cold outside, but they made it work and took gorgeous photos outside in the snow. We had friends and family comment about how excellent Chris and Kristy were in that they seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time (taking photos but not interrupting the moment). They captured not only beautiful portraits but also moments of laughter and our personality as a couple, as well as our friends and family. The final product--our wedding photos--we are absolutely THRILLED with them. Would it be too much to get them ALL printed? But seriously, we highly recommend Chris and Kristy and plan to recommend them to everyone we know, so do not wait or hesitate--book them!

    Chris and Kristy exceeded every single expectation we had for our wedding! They made sure we got a ton of great and unique shots for both our engagement and wedding pictures. We've already recommended them to all of our family and friends and will definitely use them again in the future!

    Chris and Kristy were amazing! We planned our Minneapolis wedding from Chicago, and they were so great with communication via Skype and email. I felt like we knew them already when we met them for the first time. My family and wedding party LOVED them on the day of the event -- and we obviously did too! They made everything low stress and were so relaxed. We were sad to see them go at the end of the night! They were also amazing after the wedding in that our families were hoping to use our wedding photos as Christmas cards and they rushed to get them done for us! They even managed to have all the children (toddlers, in fact!) smiling and looking at the camera in the photos. I would recommend Chris and Kristy to anyone and am very excited for them to be the photographers for my sister's New Year's Eve wedding this year!
    Oh, and how could I fail to mention - their prices were SUPER reasonable. I believe I forgot about how amazing their prices were compared to the competition because their quality was unforgettable. We had a noon wedding, so had a long shoot for them to tackle. Chris and Kristy are top notch, quality people and photographers, and were magically within our budget.

    Chris and Kristy were extremely friendly, as well as very professional. We both felt very comfortable during both our engagement session and throughout our entire wedding day. Our pictures turned out fantastic and exceeded our expectations!! We look forward to being able to reflect on all of our wedding photos in years to come to remember this special day. We highly recommend working with Chris and Kristy, as we will continue to use them for any future photography needs.

    We couldn't have asked for a better pair to do our engagement and wedding pictures. They are very organized and easy to work with. We also really enjoyed that there was two of them because it allowed them to bounce ideas off each other but also capture the candid photos when the other one is getting set up. They made the wedding day so much less stressful because they were so well prepared and gave such good direction. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice to use Chris and Kristy!

    Chris and Kristy Photography... To put it simply they are the best photographers I have seen and worked with. They were personable, hard working, dedicated, thorough and made out wedding day the best day of our lives. The best part is they captured all the amazing memories so we can relive it each and every day! We trusted them to take care of the photography part of the day and I am so glad we did! They DO NOT disappoint. It was a blessing to have worked with them and a honor to have them capture our wedding day. If you have a moment you want to cherish forever, go with Chris and Kristy Photography!

    Chris and Kristy were phenomenal. After receiving the engagement photos, we knew for sure we had made the right decision to have them photograph our wedding. Stunning, breathtaking, beautiful, incredible ... are just some of the words people are using to describe our photos. We are grateful to be able to look at the pictures and have them conjure up the wonderful memories and emotions of our big day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    I absolutely cannot say enough great things about Chris and Kristy Photography (Journey Photography)!!! They shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I am so happy with the results! Chris and Kristy are an amazing team and they're both so talented. They met with us prior to the day to make sure they knew what we wanted and expected and were so open to ideas and feedback. They are both such kind individuals and were so much fun to have with us on the best day of our lives! Although our contract stated that they needed to get the wedding photos to us within 90 days, we got them back in less than 40!! And they are spectacular! We decided that we wanted to cut back on other areas of the budget to spend more on photography and Chris and Kristy are worth every penny! The wedding photos are the only thing you have to really remember the day. The laughter, smiles, tears, and the pure joy were captured so perfectly by Journey Photography! I would (and do) recommend them to everyone I know who wants lasting, high-quality wedding photos!

    Chris and Kristy are so amazing!! We are so happy that we picked them to shoot our wedding photos, they turned out so GREAT!! It was a very hot day outside and we had an outdoor wedding, I did not hear them complain once about the heat! They are so professional and fun to work with and they were very helpful and patient with us since it was our first time doing a photo shoot. Anyone looking for a photographer to shoot their wedding, pick Chris and Kristy Photography..you will not be disappointed!!! =)

    Where to begin! Chris and Kristy Photography was the BEST decision we made for the wedding. As fresh out of college grads…our entire wedding was SUPER budget conscious. However, there were two pieces to the wedding I knew would be timeless, my dress and the photos, so we knew we wanted pick these things carefully. As we hunted around for photographers, Chris and Kristy Photography stood MILES above the rest of what we were seeing. If we chose them, we KNEW we wouldn’t have to worry about how the photos turned out…this was the most important piece of how we made our decision. You only get one try at your wedding photographers…and as anyone who has planned a wedding knows, the less stress and worry the better! Every shot on all their portfolio pieces won us over more and more until we decided YES! I want our wedding photos to be amazing and to not worry about it!! That was definitely true! Not only are they extremely professional, timely and FANTASTIC to work with, but they also go above and beyond with their helpfulness during planning, and willingness to try new poses and shot ideas we had. My husband and I were so happy with our photos…every shot was a “WOW…” They are also fantastic with children…we had two flower girls ages 5 and less than 2-years-old and they were able to engage them into the shoot and have fun with it. Their experience with kids photography is a HUGE PLUS for all wedding photography. We loved our time with them and would recommend them to anyone looking—even if they are out of your price range. YOU WON’T REGRET IT! :D

    My husband spent hours on the computer researching photographers for our wedding. We ended up booking with Journey and LOVED our time with them! We joked after our wedding that Chris and Kristy felt like good friends right from the start of the day. They had a meeting with us to make sure we got all of our questions answered and then sent us a handbook - complete with a layout for timing pictures. Brides they even send you a little present the week of the wedding! Such a sweet surprise. We were so surprised to receive our photos back three and a half weeks after our wedding. Chris and Kristy were amazing to work with and my husband and I would highly recommend them!

    Chris and Kristy go above and beyond your expectations in a photographer. It was so refreshing to see their passion for capturing memories with photography. They had excellent communication through out the planning process and are both so kind. Our photos turned out to be breath taking and provide a wonderful reminder of our love and our wedding day. In all of our communications and meetings they brought a positive energy with a commitment to our happiness. Additionally, they brought a fresh and unique perspective that was catered to us as a couple.

    Kristy and Chris were honestly one of the best parts of our wedding! We enjoyed having them there not only as our vendors but as our guests.They were so attentive to our needs and knew exactly what they were doing! They took so many amazing photos and captured all of the important moments! In preparation for the big day they answered all of my questions in depth (there must have been hundreds of emails and texts back and forth) and went through the itinerary step by step to ensure they would get everything right! They even went to all the locations ahead of time to figure out where the best photos could be captured and also so they would know the lay of the land and how to get there (so they wouldn't get lost). My husband and I will definitely be coming back in the future for newborn and family photos!

    We found Journey Photography online and were immediately drawn to the clean, vibrant, and emotion-filled photos they capture. Kristy and Chris are professional, kind, and easy to work with. They made sure to understand our photo wants and needs in a meeting prior to the wedding, and they delivered! During the wedding ceremony and reception they maintained a low profile, and several guests commented on their great service and friendliness. While shooting posed photos, their directions were clear, easy, and moved the process along smoothly and efficiently. Having two photographers that work seamlessly as a team for the great price they offer was wonderful. We would highly recommend Journey Photography for your wedding!

    Chris and Kristy were GREAT! Our pictures were wonderful. We will cherish them for years to come.

    I hate having my picture taken and they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would recommend them to anyone who wants professional pictures taken.

    My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Journey to do our wedding photos!! They were such a great couple to work with- fun, accommodating, professional and excellent at what they do! For anyone out there reviewing photographers and deciding who to chose... look no further- JOURNEY IS AMAZING! We got our photos back from our wedding less than a month later!! They are better than we could have ever imagined!!!

    My wedding was not the first time working with Journey. They have been doing photos for our friends and families shoots for a few years now. They are our Go-To!! Weddings, babies, family photos...especially weddings now ;) We met multiple times to make sure they could capture our personalities and interests in our shoots. Our engagement session was amazing, our wedding day was flawless. They made it so easy and followed the list of pictures we wanted to make sure to have as well as all the ones they know from experience we would want to see. They fulfilled their contract and then some. We had our pictures back promptly as promised and they were better than hoped! Everyone always says that after the wedding all you have is your pictures to look back at. They captured the whole day so well, every intimate moment between us, our bridal party, our guests...moeny well worth it. Loved working with them! I can't wait for them to photograph our babies :):)

    Choosing Journey Photography was the best decision that we made for our wedding day! Chris & Kristy captured so many details of our wedding that we never even witnessed. Prior to our wedding day they found the most amazing location and went above and beyond to get us permission to have our pictures taken there. They are professional, fun, energetic and completely understood the vision that we had for our wedding photos! We couldn't be more pleased! I can't wait for the next Journey in our life, so that we may again have the chance to work with Chris & Kristy!
