    Beautifully Captured our perfect day

    My husband and I are so glad we chose to have Chris and Leann photograph our wedding. After having some issues with our previous photographer we were left to scramble and find someone just 4 months before our wedding. Thank goodness we found Chris and he still had availability. He was easy and quick to respond during the entire planning process, and put all of our anxieties at ease after meeting him. The day of he was such a calming presence for me, and made sure we didn't stray to far off from our timeline of events that day. We got our preview and link to the online pictures of our wedding less than two weeks after our wedding and our USB from him shortly after that. His work speaks for itself, and he made sure he got plenty of posed but also beautiful candid pictures of my husband and I. Thank you so much Chris and Leann for capturing just how beautiful and perfect our day was!

    Amazing! Highly recommend

    Chris was so much fun, he fit right in with our group. Our day ended up being rainy and he was willing to go stand in the rain to make sure we got all the pictures that we wanted. Also, the turn around for pictures were SO fast and they all turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend him!

    Highly recommend Chris and his team

    Chris and his team were absolutely amazing. We highly recommend his services. Not only did he provide us with beautiful pictures from our special day, he was so fun to be around and many of our bridal party and other guests commented on how great of a photographer we had. We loved that Chris and his team were able to provide us with direction and made sure we got all the shots we needed (and ones we didn't even know we needed!)

    Our Wedding Day Photos

    The two personalities fit perfectly with my wedding party. The guys loved Leann. She really captured the guy's personalities and what was important to Jeff. Put a lot of thought into your shot list. I did not do a great job thinking that through. Chris was so laid back and made the best of everything. I appreciate his go with the flow attitude and his kindness. It was a high stress day and he made the part that can be uncomfortable a lot more comfortable. I was very happy with my pictures! Thank you Chris and Leann!

    Incredible Wedding Photographer

    Chris was absolutely incredible for our wedding day! He was so great at getting candids and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera the entire time. He was great at coming up with locations with magnificent backgrounds which we are obsessed with. As well as getting great shots of us as a couple, he was able to shoot our location and details of the wedding so we will be able to remember them! In addition, he was able to capture multiple pictures of our guests that we have been able to look back and share with them! We are so happy with how every pictured turned out and how helpful and professional he was through the entire day! Couldn't recommend him enough!

    Amazingly creative, easy-going and authentic photography! Best decision we made

    As local northern Michigan residents, we were very familiar with the photographers in our area but we wouldn’t have chosen anyone besides Chris for our wedding day. Chris is not only an absolute joy to work with but he is so creative in capturing the beauty of the moment naturally without over editing his images. Every image seems as if you are in that very moment - which we have always fallen in love with! Chris and LeAnn did a wonderful job working with all of our families and were very helpful in choosing the location of our shots based on the weather that day. We couldn’t believe the quantity and quality of the photos that were captured that day. I personally have watched his customized image slideshow (with our wedding songs) probably a million times! If you are looking for an easy-going, creative and talented photographer in northern Michigan, I would highly recommend him for your special day!

    Great Fun, Great Photos, Great Price

    I didn't know taking photos was supposed to be this fun! Chris was an absolute champ! We planned to have Chris for our up North 2020 Wedding but when that was not to be and we moved our wedding to a different state, we traded our deposit for engagement photos. We looked for a photographer for our 2021 wedding in Wisconsin and meanwhile and got our photos back from the engagement session. We were head over heels in love with these photos and couldn't choose anybody else. Chris so kindly agreed to come to Wisconsin for our wedding and we were overjoyed.
    Chris made our whole day so simple. He kept things light and fun and when he needed to get unruly groomsmen to behave, he did it with great expertise. We spent alot of time with Chris on our wedding day and he was simultaneously professional and artistic. Chris capitalized on some beautiful lighting and some non-traditional spaces and it made for gorgeous pictures. I liked how bright Chris's pictures turned out and how wholesome they felt. Every photo was unique and simple. Nothing felt posed and Chris was so willing to let my husband and I just play and be ourselves. Chris gave guidance on our timeline and helped us get pictures with almost all of our guests. Chris returned our photos in a month which was such quick turn around and his pricing was no-nonsense simple. He never tried to nickel and dime us and was always quick to communicate.
    Chris was great at managing family and friends. He has a well trained eye and exuded joy during our time with him. We loved working with Chris and we loved the product he created.

    Absolutely Wonderful Photography Team!

    Our wedding venue had a list of preferred vendors that we used as a guide when we chose who would be a part of our wedding day. Be aware that just because a vendor is on the list, does not automatically mean that the vendor is wonderful and you won't have any issues. We emailed and spoke with different vendors in the different categories, but sadly we ended up questioning why some of the vendors even made the cut. This was definitely not true of Chris Van Winkle Photography. Both Chris and his assistant, LeAnn, were amazing! We had emailed him images we wanted to recreate and they came prepared with the images printed on paper, which were crossed off as we went through the day. Chris even shot a heart-shaped photo of all of our guests with a drone that turned out beautifully! They were both easy to work with and our bridal party and guests were also very impressed the day of the wedding, as well as when they saw the photos and slideshow within a month after our wedding. We loved all of the personal touches and have watched the slideshow he created (with songs from our wedding) numerous times! The pictures they took will allow us to remember all of the special moments from the most magical day of our lives. We will be forever grateful and we can't wait to make canvases for our forever home that we'll be building soon...

    We couldn’t recommend Chris more!!

    He is professional, personable and very is good at his job. Our wedding pictures as the wedding couple and our families were fantastic. He also does a great job at keeping the wedding party in tune for the pictures required to make your special day memorable. He did a great job taking pictures during the entire day/night and it was fun to see the wedding guests interactions and experiences that we were not present for. Overall we couldn’t recommend him more!

    Awesome Wedding Photographer!

    Chris was fantastic! He and LeAnn were professional yet relaxed and were so fun to have throughout our entire wedding day. He gave great tips for posing in certain shots, but also let us be our natural selves. The lighting wasn't great at our ceremony spot and he quickly knew a great backup option. In addition to getting the photos back quickly Chris also prepared a beautiful slideshow set to music that we loved seeing and sharing with others. Highly recommend!!

    Chris was our ideal photographer

    While my daughter's wedding was almost 5 weeks ago, I am still coming down from the wedding high of how beautiful and happy it all was. Thanks to Chris I don't have to just remember it, but can look at the picture and relive it. The slideshow he compiled set to two songs the wedding couple picked was breathtaking and I couldn't stop watching it, it was that amazing. Chris got all the important planned shots, as well as capturing moments and expressions that are so fun to look back on, perhaps seeing some for the first time since we could not be everywhere at once! His style is professional, yet fun and pleasant. And he doesn't do any cornball contrived shots, which my daughter and I really appreciated. We both highly recommend him.

    Recommend 100%

    Chris was a blast! He was so personable and really helped ease the flow of the entire day. My family loved him and can't say enough about how great he was. He was super flexible and really listened to what we wanted. My photos were ready so quickly. My sister wants to use him for her wedding in 2022!

    Amazing photographer!!

    LeAnn (Chris’s business partner) was ABSOLUTELY incredible & I would recommend her 1000 times over!!. She not only delivered (in a timely fashion) the most spectacular photos from our wedding day, but she made me, my husband and all of our guests feel so comfortable! She had us laughing throughout the entire day and she got some truly amazing candids (she did an amazing job snapping those sneaky shots!)

    Wouldn’t change a thing!

    Chris and his assistant were AMAZING! Wonderful people to work with! Chris was very responsive to any questions I had throughout the planning process! They made us feel comfortable, which made it easier to take photos! Chris was even able to help my six year old feel comfortable with taking pictures! Wouldn’t change anything, loved working with them and loved the photos and slideshow! I’ve had nothing but amazing reviews on our wedding photos!

    Experienced and at ease - Chris is THE photographer for your wedding!

    Chris and LeAnn were just perfect for our wedding day! We met with Chris prior to our wedding and we were at ease with how chill yet very knowledgeably he was with his craft. We provided a list of all the unique elements our wedding had and Chris and LeAnn both made sure to capture every detail!We were so delighted that they were able to capture everything! During the day of the wedding, they were both on time and very efficient with their photography. They were both very flexible and friendly during the entire day! Our guests noted and mentioned to us how much they liked our photographers. Not only very easy to get along with, but also excellent photographers too! On top of everything, Chris even let our engagement photographer shadow him to get more experience - he provided lots of great feedback for her. This was a wonderful thing that he did for someone who was new in the field - she really got a lot from the experience. We were very impressed and happy with our photos. They will be great to treasure for years to come! Thank you, Chris and LeAnn! We highly recommend considering Chris Van Winkle Photography for your wedding - you will not be disappointed!

    Loved our pictures and had an amazing experience working with Chris

    We had such an amazing day and Chris and his team were a big part of that! We loved his work and that is why we chose him as our photographer. But his personality was what made him the perfect choice for us.

    His relaxed personality and exceptional organization (both ahead of time and day of) allowed me to really enjoy all the moments of our day. I can be a little Type A when it comes to planning and it just felt like we were in really good hands the whole time, so I didn't need to stress about the details. He kept us on track without feeling rushed through the day. He was a blast to work with which definitely helped everyone to loosen up. Lastly, he had a great presence- he was there capturing each moment while still giving my husband and I space to enjoy our time together on our special day. I was really impressed with how he managed that. Would definitely highly recommend Chris Van Winkle for photography!!

    Wedding photo review

    Chris and his assistant were amazing and so fun to work with! The level of artistry was out of this world and they did an excellent job at getting to know us even after only meeting the morning of the wedding. Chris and his assistant captured our personalities so well and truly made the day feel effortless!

    Couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Where do I start...well, there is a reason Chris and his team have 5 stars and over 110 reviews...its because they rock! Chris was very easy to work with and put us a ease in front of the camera. You can tell he has some experience...he kept us on schedule (but never made us feel rushed!), made some great suggestions for photos and has a knack for catching special moments. Thank you Chris and LeeAnn for capturing our special day. Highly recommend!

    Personal, professional, perfection.

    Chris and his team provided us with the most enjoyable experience during our wedding and the pictures and slideshow he provided brought tears to my eyes when I saw for the first time. His attention to detail and ability to see shots as they materialize make him not just a photographer but an artist, highly recommend and so thrilled with how well he captured our day for us! Check him out on Instagram!

    Simply the best!!!

    Simply the best! It was an absolute honor to have Chris photograph our wedding. In fact, next to marrying my wife, hiring Chris was the best decision we made regarding our wedding. He captured so many moments of our wedding which conveyed the spirit and essence of our wedding day,
    which we will be able to relive for the rest of our lives.
    Chris made a wonderful impression on all our guests and displayed the perfect combination of patience, flexibility, passion, creativity, imagination and an eye for detail. His turnaround time was even more amazing! We were married on August 25, 2019 and he allowed us to view and download all our photos just a couple days later. He even included a couple extras, that we were not expecting. Thank you Chris, we are forever grateful!!!

    Awesome wedding photographer

    Chris and his assistant were great!
    They took awesome pictures, were relaxed when things got stressful and made everything work although it rained (a lot).

    Amazing and Talented Wedding Photographer

    We can’t say enough good things about Chris and Leanne! From our first conversation over the phone to the last photo snapped, everything was perfect! We talked to a few different vendors and I immediately knew I wanted Chris just from our phone call. He is so easy to talk to and worked so well with everyone in our family and wedding party. Chris was super reasonable in price but his photos and work ethic were worth so much more! We met with Chris a few days before the wedding and we could have talked with him for hours. He made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with him! I highly recommend these two and would work with them over and over again. Thank you Chris and Leanne for being so awesome and giving us such amazing photos that we will cherish forever!!!

    Wallace Wedding

    Chris was the absolute best to work with! We weren’t stressed at all and he just went along with our timeline changes, making rev mediations as we went. Our pictures turned out incredible! Our 14year old lab was wandering through the whole thing and he managed to get several shots with her in it like it was planned.

    Leading up to the wedding Chris communicated with us on the time line and such. He was present, but not overwhelming.

    If you’re looking for a laidback, exceptional photographer this is your guy! Everyone from the day commented how there was always a camera around, capturing some of the best moments like the groomsman splitting his pants, to my shoes coming off, to getting basically one picture of every guest that came! We can’t thank you enough Chris!!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Chris was great! He was super responsive leading up to the wedding and was incredibly easy to work with despite us living several hundred miles from our venue. He took wonderful photos that truly captured the spirit of our wedding and got them back to us far more quickly than I expected! The best part about working with Chris was his understanding of what we were looking for and being able to adapt throughout the day. My wife hates super staged photos, so Chris made sure we only took natural looking photos. When my wife got tired of staged photos, aside from the obligatory family-group shots of course, Chris made sure he stopped directing us and just stayed close to get the perfect shot. I can't recommend Chris enough!

    Castle Farms - LaFleur Wedding

    Chris is amazing! He was flexible with us and joined in on the fun atmosphere. Chris is a timely professional who is clearly passionate in his work. I really appreciated his awareness on the big picture of the day, and also the details or "small things." We were able to trust that he was getting awesome photos while we enjoyed the night. Some of our favorites were the shots he got of our sweet 90 year old grandpa. I highly recommend his service!

    AMAZING experience working with Chris! Highly recommended

    Chris was absolutely amazing to work with. He has a very laid back personality. Chris was always quick to answer my emails during the planning process (even when he was out of the country). The day of the wedding he was professional, flexible and made taking the pictures fun. The final prints were better than we ever expected.
    I highly recommend Chris!! We hope to use him again in the future

    Great photographer and so much more

    Chris was a consummate professional, both in the planning stages and on the day of. He was truly an invaluable part of the day, and worked to fix small problems we and even our wedding planner didn't notice.

    FWIW- the photos are stunning, too.

    Castle Farms Wedding

    Beyond the amazing pictures Chris provided, he is truly a calming presence which is something that is absolutely essential for your wedding day. He made the day super fun and easy and we cannot thank him enough for it! He got us our pictures back within 3 weeks!!!!!!!! Even after the wedding, he has been extremely accommodating promptly responding to all the annoying questions I have had for him. I have no regrets and would recommend him to any one! If you are having your wedding at Castle Farms, he knows the property like the back of his hand and will get you AMAZING pictures! Thanks Chris!

    Chris did an amazing job photographing our wedding. He is relaxed and diligent in getting the job done. The relaxed aspect helps a lot as no surprise the day can be a bit stressful. He always responded very quickly

    Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only initially did he work with me on price and the timeline that was best fit for our special day but he also was very quick to respond to any emails I had with questions or concerns. On the day of Chris came right in and was super personable and relate-able. Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Unfortunately I didnt have the greatest of venue coordinators but thankfully I had Chris. When they werent helping to make my day run smoothly Chris stepped in and made everything PERFECT! I highly recommend if you want someone who is going to go above and beyond for you and your day and also take INCREDIBLE photos go with Chris Van Winkle! He not only did he do an amazing job at our wedding but the next day he did a trash the dress video shoot with a drone that we will cherish forever!! ALL HIS IDEA!! My husband and I enjoyed him so much we talk about meeting up with him next time we are in Northern Michigan!

    There are so words to describe how awesome Chris is! The first time we met with Chris he invited my husband and I over for coffee at his condo to discuss and ask questions on how our wedding day would go. We both knew he would be perfect for us. He is laid back and a total surfer dude, but incredibly professional.

    The day of our wedding Chris also was gracious enough to drop his assistant at our cottage to ride over in our boat across lake charlevoix to our venue. Everyone felt so comfortable the whole day. We LOVE our pictures. They came out perfect. And Chris was able to send them to us within a few weeks. We would deffintly work with Chris again for future shoots

    From the very first contact I made with Chris, he was positive, sensitive to my needs and budget as well as desire for quality photos to capture the memories of our Wedding day. I was planning my wedding from a distance so it was important to me to choose a photographer that knew my venue well to make the most of our time together as well as deliver a quality end product. Chris offered guidance as to how best to facilitate our evening to spend the most time with our guests as well as get great shots. He blended right in with us and our guests and made everyone feel comfortable. This friendly confident style made a positive impact on all of us. I have received so many positive comments on Chris from our guests. Chris delivers a quality portfolio without arrogance and at a fair price. He provides a service and treats you with respect and importance. If you are looking for a partner who will make your wedding day easy and worry free, Chris Van Winkle is a wonderful choice. Thank you Chris!

    If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further because Chris and his team are it. We started our journey with Chris during engagement pictures during the fall of 2017. We had to reschedule a few times due to the late color change and he was so accommodating. With a limited amount of time due to weather conditions on the actual day we did our pictures, Chris made everything work and made a dreary rainy day turn into some of the best pictures that we absolutely love. He was so easy to work with, extremely efficient, incredibly nice and his talent really shows through on every picture. Flash forward to our wedding this July at the Shanahan Barn in Charlevoix, MI and Chris and his team captured every single aspect. Even our guests were talking about how amazing and talented they were. From our first look near lake Michigan, to a beautiful ceremony, family photos and awesome candids of our guests. We honestly could not be happier. We have so many amazing photos to choose from we will never be able to decide which ones to print.

    Chris is a very talented photographer. He is organized and accommodating to photo requests. He works well under pressure. With large families and a long list of requested photos he made the day progress easily. He and his assistant did a phenomenal job of capturing our wedding day! Memories to last a lifetime.

    Chris truly is phenomenal. His chill, yet professional personality put us at ease right away as neither my wife nor I are comfortable in front of the camera. We had an opportunity to meet with Chris and do an engagement session about 8 months prior to our June wedding. This honestly was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process and would highly recommend it. This allowed us to get to know Chris and better understand the process of our day from his perspective. This also gave us an opportunity to explain what we were looking for. Chris is a great listener, very creative and efficient. He was able to capture us in a number of amazing locations in a short period of time. Leading up to our day he was super responsive to all of our emails and questions. On our wedding day he was a calm voice during the craziness. We'd bring something to his attention and his response was always "Don't worry. I got it". Those are amazing words to hear on your wedding day. What really sets Chris apart is his ability to capture the emotion of the day. We could not be happier with our photos and our experience with Chris. He's good people and we HIGHLY recommend him.

    Chris and LeAnn were amazing. Fast and effective at taking pictures and we got beautiful shots. I loved them but the true test was my mom -- she's very particular. I sent her the link and waited... When she called and raved, I knew that they were truly amazing and that Chris had hit it out of the park. Chris and LeAnn also have fun, laid back attitudes which were great during the hectic nature of a wedding day. And they were fabulous about getting the shots we wanted -- both formal family shots and fun ones (like us having a beer in a local brewery or us walking to our reception).

    First off, we absolutely love love love all of our pictures! I have been waiting patiently to get them back and hoping it wouldn’t take too long, but Chris exceeded our expectations by getting all of them back to us not even a week and a half after the wedding! He was able to capture every special moment, and got amazing candid photos of practically every single person, couple, and group in attendance! We were blown away by the number and quality of close up, memorable, candid shots he got throughout the entire day. Most photographers might throw out all of those silly pictures, but Chris and LeAnn were able to beautiful capture every silly, fun, and sometimes embarrassing moment and those turned out to be everyone’s favorite pictures.
    Chris and LeAnn are amazing to work with. They seemed to be everywhere they needed to be but went seemingly unnoticed. They made the entire day effortlessly seamless. We never felt obstructed by them - where some photographers may interrupt to pose you, or stop you and make you reenact something so they could get a better shot - in fact it was the opposite. Chris and LeAnn were able to capture every beautiful moment and then some, at times without us even knowing they were there! They were a huge help in getting us where we needed to be on schedule and were such a joy to have around on our wedding day. Through their experience they were also very helpful at guiding us through all aspects of the day. They were very flexible and worked with us to fulfill our every request. They also know some pretty great spots around town for pictures.
    I would 100% recommend Chris as your wedding photographer!

    Chris photographed our wedding for us and he did an amazing job even though it had begun to rain and we were fighting against the darkness with the sun setting. All his photos came out beautifully and you can't even tell it was raining. He got all the shots we wanted and even some we hadn't thought of. Chris and his second shooter were polite and understanding which is what we needed during such a stressful day. I would highly recommend him to others.

    Chris and his assistant were great to work with. Throughout the whole process, Chris was very responsive and answered all of our questions. We got married in October and Chris was able to find locations where the leaves were changing so we could get some color in the background of our photos. I can't say enough about the both of them!

    We had a wonderful experience with Chris and LeAnn! We initially met Chris for our engagement photos which turned out beautiful at the Mackinaw City and Mackinac Bridge. The water and harbor pictures were gorgeous! Our wedding was at the Cross in the Woods in Indian River and Perry Hotel in Petoskey. He captured perfectly the church and it’s natural surroundings. He knew all the great spots around the town!! All the photos came out Beautifully!, And everyone enjoyed our photo slideshow which was very elegant, creative and well-done! Chris is very easy to work with, nice person. He is very professional, responded very promptly to all the emails, very helpful with suggestions and the entire planning process…. He made things less stressful. I felt very confident with Chris. I highly recommend Chris and his team!

    Chris was awesome to work with and really made us feel at easy during our photos. He did not have us do any awkward poses and just had us pose naturally and the photos all turned out amazing. He was amazingly quick on getting our photos back and was also very reasonably priced. Would certainly recommend his services!

    Chris and LeaAnn were absolutely amazing. We were married at the Inn at Stonecliffe on Mackinac Island. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. It was their sincerity that made the day even more relaxing. That isn't even including how much FUN they are. The photographs they took were absolutely amazing and everyone was so impressed.

    Upon initial contact Chris was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. He was able to build upon our ideas of what kind of pictures we would like taken.

    It was the perfect photographer for the perfect day. Highly recommended.

    Chris and his assistant were just simply amazing! From the moment I contacted him regarding our wedding, I knew he was the perfect fit for us. Chris was professional from day one, his responses were very quick, he was patient and helpful throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding, where do I began?!? Chris and LeeAnn were professional, kind, creative, funny, intuitive and most of all...put all of us at ease. Dan and I never worried, never doubted. Chris and LeeAnn were incredibly creative with our day, never over posed and just captured our day as it was...perfect.

    Chris and LeaAnn.....exceeded our photography expectations by a mile! Chris' creativity with photographing our wedding party, Church/reception venues, and family formals truly made our pictures unique to us and our day. Chris and LeaAnn were also considerably laid back, which helped eased the inevitable tensions of the day, while they both also knew when to step up and guide our friends/family into photo-ready positions. I can't say enough about how unbelievably pleased we are with our pictures. I can honestly say there wasn't a bad one in the bunch! Plus, the photo slide-show that Chris made....literally brought me to tears. He did a fantastic job of capturing both the important moments and the casual moments that I might have forgotten otherwise. Chris' initial promptness in responding during our "feeling-out-process" of photographers was also an attribute that seemed rare to come by. His professionalism, creativity, cool demeanor, and overall charming personality are all qualities that have been commented on frequently by family/friends, after having watched him work on our big day. I am SO happy that we found him and I can say with confidence that, through his photos, he captured our beautiful fairy tale like no other photographer would have been able to. Chris is truly the best.

    We knew Chris had abilities from perusing his website. I also follow his Facebook site and was struck by the honest humanity in his photos from all over the world. We were very excited for him to be my daughter's wedding photographer. We were not disappointed, and in fact, we are absolutely elated!

    One morning I awoke a bit "blah." When I discovered the wedding slideshow was ready (In addition to hundreds and hundreds of pics), my heart overflowed with joy - it totally made my day. I was amazed by the quality of and honesty in each photo. I have watched multiple times now; the pure joy Chris captured in the faces of both families is just outstanding. He gets the perfect shots - both posed and candid!

    There are lots of photos - it took me the better part of an hour just to scan them! I have a wall where we have framed pics of our 4 kids and their spouses. It is going to be very hard to choose this youngest daughter's perfect wedding pic because they are all wonderful.

    I would recommend Chris Van Winkle Photography for any type of memories you need to create. He and his assistant were easy going and fun to be around. They helped make this wedding even more memorable.

    As an aside, I dislike all pictures of me. I liked every single one he took, so that in itself is very unique.

    I can hardly wait until he starts photographing our grand-babies. :)

    We got married in May in Traverse City and Chris was our photographer. He was amazing! We planned our wedding from out of state and Chris was so easy to work with. He always emailed back promptly with any questions we had and his easy going attitude made things nice and relaxed for us. Our pictures turned out so beautiful, we couldn't be any more pleased. Our special day was captured in the perfect way and the editing was wonderful. Chris and LeAnn captured every moment from getting ready all the way through the reception. I would highly recommend them!

    We were absolutely ecstatic with the work of Chris Van Winkle Photography! He photographed our engagement session and our wedding. He was so relaxed and a breath of fresh air when everything around us was all hustle and bustle! Chris encouraged us to be ourselves and it really showed in our photos. It was fun to work with him and we would recommend him to anyone that asked! Many of our wedding guests told us what a great guy he was throughout the day. He's quick to respond with any questions or concerns you may have, which is always nice during the wedding planning process. We have beautiful pictures of every little detail of our wedding. Some of which we didn't even get to see the day of our wedding because it flew by so fast! Mike and I are grateful for his patience and good sense of humor. We now have memories to look back on that will last us a lifetime! Thank you Chris!

    We got married at the Perry Hotel in May and had Chris and LeAnn as our photographers. They did an awesome job! They captured so many amazing moments; from our first look to our guests making special memories of their own at the reception. We love the way everything turned out! Chris is very professional, personable, and overall a great person to work with. His style was perfect for our wedding and I would highly suggest him!

    Chris is the man! Its was such a pleasure to work with Chris and his team. I knew right from the get go that Chris was the right guy for the job. He's laid back yet super professional and responsive. Just breeze through some of his portfolio and you will quickly see his style is unique yet classic and simple. I thought it was cool, in the midst of wedding day madness chris pulled us aside to drive us around the park and get some pics of just Jess and I. Those pics are the best of the day! And it was really nice to spend some time alone with my bride. Not only did chris and the team crush it on the photos but he put together and really sweet video / silideshow with a personal touch of letting us pick the tunes we wanted to go along with the video. We leaned on chris for his guidance and expertise when it came to the day of the wedding. He made things much easier for us on the day of the event which created a stress free environment for Jess and I. All and all we have nothing but good things to say about chris and his team. So holla at him today and get another thing crossed off wedding to do list

    We had a super intimate wedding, and Chris did an amazing job capturing the entire day. He captured those sweet special moments, the silly moments and everything inbetween. And he was an absolute pleasure to work with.

    He ran around the entire property with us as we dashed around trying to fight the wind and beat the rain. (And let me tell you...those pictures he took with the dramatic skies were beyond incredible...definitely frame worthy.) As for during the ceremony...I didn't even know he was there, but he got it from every angle possible.

    And to top it off, he got the photos back to us super quick, only a couple of weeks after the wedding.

    We love our photos, and we loved working with Chris. He's definitely a winner! ??

Chris and LeAnn really captured how perfect the day was and made everyone feel comfortable. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and using them for future family photos. Thank you!!

    Chris and LeAnn, his assistant, are wonderful. Chris worked with me from the day that we booked him until after the wedding. He responds to emails within 24 hours, if not sooner, and provides as much information as possible. His laidback demeanor was a perfect match with my personality. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed, but Chris was always available to help get me back on track and feel less stressed. He allowed me to have say in what types of photos I wanted, which left me with no regrets. I was worried I would want to have pictures done, but not get to them, however, Chris ensured that he listened to all of my ideas. Although I had many ideas, Chris guided them to ensure that more traditional pictures were taken in addition to some of my more "fun" ideas. I felt that Chris and I worked as a team, which I thought was very special. Most photographers ask you to take specific positions and don't allow the type of freedom Chris allowed. In the end, it felt like Chris was an old friend or family member. You can very quickly tell that Chris is passionate about his work, but also cares for his individual clients. He makes taking picture after picture fun, rather than making it feel like a chore! I truly appreciate Chris and LeAnn. If I was just starting from the beginning of wedding planning, I would choose Chris immediately.

    I highly recommend Chris van Winkle photography to anyone who is looking for natural and beautiful photos. Our wedding photos turned out exactly as we wanted. Chris was great to have around that day. He not only takes awesome photos, but he where to be at the right moment. He knows how to speak and act professionally, while also being relaxed and easygoing. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. Thank you so much Chris!!!

    Chris was absolutely the perfect choice to capture Jordan and my wedding day and I cannot say enough about his abilities and professionalism. He really cares about his work and his clients and it shows! From the first moment we met I felt completely comfortable and at ease! The pictures and video turned out to be AMAZiNG!!! Chris was full of energy, extremely talented, and creative. I am absolutely looking forward to other events and an opportunity to book Chris again.
    Thank you so much Chris! You made our day extra special and we really can't thank you enough. Seriously the best photographer I have ever used.

    Chris and LeAnn were unbelievable. We weren't from the area in which we got married so I contacted some photographers in the area based on their reviews from others. Chris responded so promptly and was so personable. He was always reaching out to us throughout the year and was so easy to get ahold of if we had any questions. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are unbelievable. I have so many family and friends telling us how amazing our photos were. Not only were our photos incredible, but Chris and LeAnn were too. They have an eye for the great shots and made us feel so comfortable and special. They really captured our love and personalities so perfectly. The only bad thing is I don't know how I will be able to pick out which pictures I would like to use because they are all so perfect. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Chris and LeAnn were absolutely fantastic! From our initial inquiry to engagement photos and finally our wedding day, Chris was extremely responsive and professional. He checked in multiple times throughout the year and gave us plenty of time to decide on our shot list. Chris and LeAnn did a phenomenal job capturing candid moments throughout our wedding day (exactly what I wanted!), and created such a comfortable environment for our family and friends during group shots. We were so impressed by the quick turn around and the quality of our outstanding photo album and slideshow. We have received countless compliments and photo requests from our guests. We truly couldn't be more happy with our experience!

    I wish I could give more than five stars. From the very start I knew that both Chris and LeAnn were such a perfect fit for us. They blended in so well with our guests... Made sure everyone felt important.. And better yet, didn't make Kyle and I feel any pressure what so ever to pose for cheesy photos. They worked so hard from start to finish and captured some of the most amazing moments of our wedding. Chris and LeAnn worked so quickly and efficiently to get our formal photos completed so we could join our party.. And quite honestly cannot believe how quickly our photos were returned to us... I was shocked, but so grateful. Our pictures are something we will have to cherish forever, and we will because they're AMAZING. Prior to the wedding, Chris responded to emails, phone calls and texts soo quickly, which I appreciated being as impatient as I am....both Kyle and I are so incredibly happy and excited about the photos we have.. I would definitely recommend this duo to every bride...any other choice is a mistake.

    Words do not do justice the work that Chris and LeAnn do. From the very get go, we felt extremely comfortable meeting with Chris. Chris and LeAnn are both the perfect blend of fun to work with, while still showing a sincere professionalism and passion about what they do. We were blown away by our engagement photos, and the ideas that Chris and LeAnn had with regards to setting, lighting, unique venues, etc. Chris stayed in touch without us throughout the year, and working together on our wedding day was working with more than a vendor. Chris and LeAnn truly value the service they provide, but also the experience their clients go through on their special day. If we wanted it, Chris and LeAnn made it happen. If Chris and LeAnn had an idea (and they did frequently thankfully!), they knew how to communicate those in a way that would make us feel like it was the best decision for what we wanted. Chris and LeAnn both spend a real amount of time getting to know their couples, their interests, and what they are looking for. We watch our slideshow so often it's embarrassing to admit, we just got our flash drive of pictures and are blown away, and we thank our lucky stars every day for what Chris and LeAnn did for us. While we really enjoy our posed and planned pictures, the amount of real and raw candid shots that they were able to get throughout our day are so beautiful to have and relive. Our family and friends have been reaching out to us non-stop raving about our pictures, especially friends who have been married recently and gone through this same experience. We recommend Chris Van Winkle photography for your special day, or any family event. We will have these special moments forever, and Chris and LeAnn deserve all of the credit for that. Thank you Chris and LeAnn!

    Chris and LeAnn photographed our June 2016 wedding, and they were amazing from start to finish! Chris was very responsive to all of my emails, very professional and flexible. The day of the wedding, Chris was so calm and collected, and put up with our crazy family and friends with ease. We received SO many amazing photos back. He somehow captured everything from our day. It was so fun to look back and be able to live the whole day over again through our photos and video. We are so excited to cherish our wedding photos for the rest of our lives. Thanks, Chris!

    Im not even sure where to start. Chris did an amazing job capturing our day. He and LeAnn were able to create memories that will last a lifetime. More often than not, photography provides a simple reminder of an event leaving the mind to fill in the gaps - not true with this team. Literally, the photos place you in the moment. We could not be more appreciative of the talent, kindness, and professionalism. Welcome to our family Chris and LeAnn!

    I am not sure can say enough good things about Chris and LeAnn!
    As most brides, photos were important to me and I had a groom who has never been a fan of having his picture taken. So, I was a little nervous. However, as we got to know Chris and LeAnn, I realized we had nothing to worry! They made my husband feel at ease, and we had an absolute blast taking pictures! We just got the pictures back and are in love with them!
    The other point that I would like to stress is Chris' professionalism. As a bride planning a wedding from miles away, he made the process so easy. He was always prompt with his responses and available for any questions.
    Their work is stunning and we truly treasure our photographs. They were able to capture the day and all of its emotions so beautifully. Both my husband and I would recommend Chris Van Winkle Photography to anyone who truly wants to capture the most beautiful moments during their special day! Thanks again guys! Damon and Esmerina

    From the first time I met with Chris, I knew Sheldon and I selected the best photographer out there!
    We loved his style, his professionalism, and his laid back way of capturing all the big moments on our big day. Both Chris and LeAnn were so much fun, and so easy to work with.
    Sheldon and I, and many of our guests, would highly recommend Chris and LeAnn to photograph your wedding, or any of your big moments!!

    Photography is an area that no bride should skimp out on and luckily for us Chris was comparably affordable and the quality of his work surpassed that value. He truly did a phenomal job capturing our big day. On the day of my wedding, he made me feel super comfortable and as the ceremony began and my focus shifted to my groom I didn't even notice he was there. However he captured every single detail that I want to remember forever. I have received endless compliments on how amazing my pictures look and I owe that to Chris and his assistant. They were amazing! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends when they become brides.

    We are so happy we chose to work with Chris and LeAnn! They did our engagement and wedding pictures and both sets were perfect! The candid shots were amazing and the formal shots were natural and fun. The whole process was very casual and simple and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Quick and clear communication, easy to work with, patient, gets a clear understanding of what you want and gets your input on specific poses, an overall great experience!

    Chris and LeAnn are a dynamic duo in the wedding photography industry! Not only did they perfectly capture our November wedding, but they were fun to be around and were extremely professional. Email responses were always prompt, and photos (both engagement and wedding) were back to us quicker than I've ever heard of from other couples. He also created a slideshow of wedding photos played to songs of our choice, which is such a great added touch. We would HIGHLY recommend Chris and LeAnn as photographers for ANY event you may need them for!

    My partner and I didn't even notice Chris and LeAnn on our wedding day, and there's no greater compliment that I can give. They were incredibly easy to work with -- kind, laid back, and respectful -- and they captured our day perfectly. They were responsive to our requests, while simultaneously making beautiful recommendations and guiding us throughout the day. We couldn't be more thrilled with our photos, and would wholeheartedly recommend Chris and LeAnn for any special occasion.

    Chris was great to work with. When I had questions he was very quick to answer. On my wedding day he made everything so easy and was sure to capture each moment I wanted. He was flexible and very easy to work with.

    Chris and LeAnn are truly amazing! When they showed up on our wedding day they fit in instantly and it felt like they were our guests. They were so professional and such a joy to work with. They interacted so well with our guests, we received many complements about them. Our photos turned out beautiful! They captured our day perfectly and I'm blown away by the ones they captured of our guests, the details and scenery. My husband and I are so happy we picked Chris to be our photographer. From start to finish he was great, he went above and beyond to capture our day and nailed it! I cant say enough good things and I just love all our photographs they are all truly breathtaking!

    Chris and LeAnn are THE BEST!!! Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are better than we ever dreamed of. My husband hates getting his picture taken and Chris did a wonderful job making him feel relaxed. The pictures look candid and we look natural - no fake smiles. Chris and LeAnn captured the mood of our wedding and we have received SO MANY compliments on the pictures. My husband and I can't decide which ones to frame because there are so many amazing shots to choose from (and I'm pretty picky!). Chris and LeAnn were also wonderful to work with throughout the process. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. They are truly amazing!

    We are so happy we chose Chris as to be our photographer. He and his assistant Leann did a wonderful job capturing the many moments at our wedding. Chris was great to work with - he was always responsive, he captured certain shots that we requested, and we loved his laid back demeanor. We did an engagement session with Chris, which was a great opportunity for him to get to know us and our personalities.

    Photography was one of the most important things to us on our wedding day and we could not have asked for anyone better than Chris. Here are the things we loved about working with Chris Van Winkle Photography:

    Chris and LeAnn were always super prompt replying to emails and were very organized and clear with everything leading up to the wedding.
    On the day of our wedding they were wonderful. They are kind, fun, creative, and professional. They strike a perfect and rare balance of not interfering with special moments of the day, but at the same time being present and tuned in to everything going on. We and our guests loved their presence at our wedding, it added so much to our day.
    They were very quick at getting our gorgeous photographs back after the wedding.
    Their work is stunning and we truly treasure our photographs. They were able to capture the day and all of its emotions so beautifully.
    One of our relatives who lives in South Africa and could not make it to the wedding sent me this message after looking through our wedding album: "Hannah, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful wedding album with us (me). Just wonderful. The photographers captured the sensitivy and all the feelings so well that I felt as if I had been there."

    We recommend Chris Van Winkle Photography to any and everyone!

    Chris and Leann did an amazing job photographing our sons wedding! They thoroughly captured all those beautiful and intimate moments that bring back floods of feelings and memories. They were so easy to work with yet very professional and nonintrusive. We especially love the video he put together! Our son, who does not like posing for photographs, actually enjoyed Chris and his relaxed nature. We definitely will call Chris the next time we need a photographer!

    Chris and LeAnn are absolutely amazing. They did a wonderful job capturing both my rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I am so pleased with the amount of photographs they were able to take and all of them are great! This may sound funny, but thinking back on the wedding day, the thing that amazes me most is that I don't remember them having a huge presence - and I say this as a positive thing. They made sure to get all the family photos and wedding party photos I asked for, but during the ceremony I don't remember seeing them, during the cocktail hour and dancing, I was never distracted, but they got all the pictures! All the moments. Up close and far away. I can't say enough great things about these two. Chris and LeAnn both have the best demeanor and the only picture I didn't get was with the two of them! Book them for your special day and you won't be disappointed.

    Chris and LeAnn are fantastic! Professional, friendly, great listeners and knowledgeable, gifted photographers.
    In planning an out-of-state wedding, I was a bit nervous finding vendors, but Chris was a lucky find. He's great with communication, and responding to emails and questions quickly.
    We met the day of our wedding but it didn't feel like we were working with strangers. Chris and LeAnn were wonderful about making us feel comfortable and were fun to work with. They have a great eye for poses and in-the-moment shots. I really liked that before the wedding, Chris emailed a suggested photography list; it made the day run smoothly and efficiently and they captured many memories for us.
    After the wedding, they had a quick turn-around for getting the photographs to us. There were a lot of options for color/black-and-white photographs as well as different printing services.

    I'd highly recommend Chris and LeAnn!
