Taylor Sent on 05/27/2026Simply amazing in every way 🤍
From our engagement session to our wedding day, working with Connor and his team has been nothing short of incredible. Beyond being unbelievably talented, he is genuinely one of the nicest people to work with. From the moment you’re in front of the camera, he makes you feel completely comfortable, relaxed, and at ease — which makes such a difference, especially if being photographed doesn’t come naturally.
He truly knows what he’s doing, and he does it exceptionally well. No matter what pose, position, or moment we’re capturing, I always know the photos will come back absolutely beautiful — and somehow, he exceeds expectations every single time. Our engagement photos turned out so beautifully, and now after receiving our wedding sneak peeks, we are completely blown away all over again. They are truly perfection, and we genuinely cannot wait to see our full gallery.
It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are or even talk him up enough because his talent, professionalism, and ability to capture moments so perfectly speak for themselves. If you’re considering booking him — do it. You will not regret it!!!!✨🤍 -

Rob Sent on 10/19/2025Hire Connor for his fun, effortless energy!!
We can’t thank Connor enough for coming through for us when we unexpectedly needed a new videographer close to our wedding. From our first conversation, he put us at ease and made what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless. He worked so smoothly with our planner and photographer, and our sneak peak highlight the day after our wedding was beautiful. We’re beyond grateful for his fun personality, energy, flexibility, professionalism, and talent — everything worked out exactly as it was meant to! We look forward to seeing the final product!! -

Connor was amazing to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the final product. I coordinated with Connor for about 6 months long-distance about capturing our wedding at Phipps Conservatory. He was very professional, and knew how to guide us to get down to what we wanted for our day; what was most important. We answered his questions and gave him some examples, and he ran with it. He skillfully juggled capture all our moments in photos as well as the ceremony on video for our family who couldn't travel with us. By the end of the night, Connor felt like a member of the family.
I'm still stunned this is us in our photos! Thank you! -

Connor did both our photo and video and him and his colleagues were timely, attentive, friendly, and very professional! They did a great job getting the bridal party and family members focused but also not being too bossy! We appreciate all that they did to make our day so special. -

Matt Sent on 07/07/2024Excellent Experience!
We hired Connor to do our photography for our wedding and we were thrilled to have him and his team. We added a 2nd photographer and videographer to our package. His team captured all the photos we wanted and had their own creative input that really drove our photos to being even better than we had hope for! Connor was extremely professional but also made us feel at ease and comfortable from planning to wedding day. He also did our engagement photo shoot which turned out beautifully and we used those photos to decorate our wedding. Our friends and family also commented on his friendliness and professionalism across the board. I would recommend Connor for photography and videography to anyone looking for high quality photography, easy to work with vendor, and flexibility.

1000% Worth It
We 1000% recommend Connor to any couple. He was so easy to work with, very flexible, and fun! He’s very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a ton of experience with weddings. He helped with my wedding day timeline to ensure I wasn’t waiting uncomfortably before the wedding started. He plays music while photographing and keeps things fun and light so you are relaxed for photos. He was very efficient in getting family photos and made sure we got every photo we wanted. I absolutely LOVE every photo we got from Connor. Our sunset photos were STUNNING. -

Connor and his photo/video team (Phil, Dan) were exactly what we needed on our wedding day. They had such great energy while still always maintaining effectiveness, professionalism, & efficiency on our tight timeline. They went above and beyond in certain aspects like always offering a hand to older family members going up/down steps, ensuring everyone was posed/placed exactly right, all while maintaining a fun and laid back and FUN attitude. My husband and I aren't exactly pros at being on camera but they made us feel so comfortable/confident and made sure we knew exactly what to do. Communication throughout the whole process was easy. Our bridal party, families, and guests cannot stop raving about how amazing they were. Book now! -

Absolutely wonderful!
Connor was such a joy to work with. Between our engagement photos, having to downsize our package due to wedding circumstances, and the wedding itself, Connor was patient, kind, and flexible at every step. His humor and laid-back nature really put us at ease. And his work is brilliant! I can't imagine having anyone else capture this beautiful day. Thank you, Connor! -

Kayla Sent on 11/04/2020Beyond incredible
There are no words to describe how incredible Connor and his team are. I was really worried about photography because when someone else took our engagement pics we didn’t feel comfortable and I felt like you could see that in our photos. I expressed this to Connor and he reassured me everything would be fine. My wedding day was the first time I met him, but he has this way of making you feel like you’ve been friends for years. He knows exactly where to put you for the best shot and gives direction when needed. I cannot wait to get our pictures and video back because I know thanks to his talent they will be amazing. -

Jessica Sent on 07/21/2020Innovative and flexible
Connor was so flexible and willing to accommodate our needs during such an unprecedented time in the world. During COVID-19, my husband and I were faced with the tough decision to cancel our 150+ guest wedding and opt for something much smaller with just our families and pastor. We also had to change venues at the very last second due to the outbreak. Connor was ready and willing to adapt to our new needs and was even challenged with a new request from the bride that he normally did not do (adding voice overs to the videos). Because of our circumstance, we shot with Connor for more than just our wedding day but also did a home-style shoot and a "date night" shoot, which just added more of a personal feel to our video. We cherish this video SO much. It brought tears to not just our eyes, but all of our family and friends. Truly incredible work. -

An Absolute Joy to Work With
Connor is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! For my husband and me, it was crucial that we be comfortable getting out photos taken and that we have fun on our special day, and Connor was the perfect photographer for the job! Even from our very first meeting with him, his fun-loving, down to earth demeanor instantly put us at ease and we knew our wedding day would be spectacular with him as our photographer! Also, throughout the planning process, he was extremely accessible and responsive to helping make our day exactly what we envisioned.
Our engagement photos with him turned out absolutely gorgeous, and he made the whole process fun and was open to any ideas that we had for our location. As for the wedding photos, they all turned out more spectacular than I could have ever imagined! He expertly captured all of the special moments from the beginning of the day to the end of the reception without us evening having to ask. His most impressive feat was wrangling my large family (about 40 people) in the limited time we had at the church to capture an awesome family portrait. Connor helped make our day as special as could be, and he is a wonderfully talented photographer that anyone would love to have as a part of their big day! Thanks to Connor, we had an absolutely unforgettable wedding day!!

Couldn’t ask for better!
Connor was everything we hoped for in a photographer and videographer! He was quick to respond anytime I had a question. The day of the wedding he amazed me just how efficiently he worked. He wrangled my big family and pretty big bridal party with ease. Connor, Sean and Dan made taking pictures and being filmed so relaxed, there was music playing and a ton of laughs to ease the camera shy. When we got the pictures and videos back we were so happy! Everything turned out amazing we’ve watched our highlight video more times than I can count it’s just so perfect and sums up our best day!! Connor and his crew are truly the best! -

I will truly cherish these pictures forever! Connor is a joy to work with and he had the whole group laughing the entire day. He captured photos that feel so intimate and special, but also a ton of fun and goofy ones too. And the quality is just amazing! The colors, the clarity, the perspective.... everything is just so good. I feel like I can relive so many moments from the best day of our lives, which is so special to both me and my husband. To top it all off, Connor karaoked Sugar We’re Goin’ Down by Fall Out Boy during the reception, and crushed it. What more could you want from a photographer? -

Connor is the best!
Connor was amazing! We got ready at a hotel, then our ceremony was at Phipps and our reception was at Veltre's. Connor and a second shooter came to the hotel to take pictures of us getting ready, then drove to Phipps and took pictures and after drove back to our reception at Veltre's. After our ceremony at Phipp's, we stayed and took pictures but only had limited time to do so. Connor was so great about picking great spots to take pictures and quickly getting as many amazing shots in as he could in the short amount of time and with Phipps being so busy. My husband and I both were nervous and stressed beforehand and Connor just kept giving off great vibes and telling us how everything is going to be great! I honestly could not have asked for a better experience with Connor and the pictures turned out amazing! Would highly recommend him! -

July 6, 2019 Wedding
Connor was my photographer, and he also contracted my videographer for me. He helped me coordinate my day of timeline and kept the whole day moving so smoothly. I have never worked with a photographer who was so efficient at moving people/groups in and out of shots to make sure we got every shot we wanted despite some rain! He was also hilarious and kept us laughing the entire day. He was with us from the time we started getting ready till the end of the night, and our pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Our highlight video(that he edits and puts together) is amazing as well! -

Phenomenal!!
It's hard to find the words to describe our experience with Connor! He met with us to discuss his different packages, along with get a feel for who Ian and I are as a couple. He's super friendly, personable, and professional. The package we got included our engagement photos, and he was more than willing to go to our destination (Ohio Pyle) for our pictures. It was very comfortable and fun being photographed by Connor. FINALLY, our wedding photos and videos! I cannot stop looking at them! Connor was able co capture the pure love and happiness throughout the day in every shot. When I received all the photos, I was surprised at how many candids he was able to get. I didn't even notice him or his crew running around getting pictures and videos. They captured so many details that I didn't even notice as well! (Cookie table, cake, decor, etc.) Not only do I love looking through my own wedding photos, but I love looking at others that he's done. His work is truly breathtaking! He's a great photographer to work with and I would definitely choose him time and time again. -

Just Awesome
We hired Connor based on a few photos from this site as well as creeping his Instagram. We vibed with him immediately. On our wedding day he listened to all the ideas we had and meshed them with his own. A lot of his were spur of the moment, which happened to make for some of our favorite photos. My wife and I absolutely loved his creativity. He was very professional, fun, and energetic. In addition, Connor was extremely quick to get us our photos...which was great bc his sneak peak the day after the wedding wasn’t fair!! Highly recommended!! -

Samantha Sent on 03/04/2019Great wedding decision
We were referred to Connor by a friend whose wedding he had shot-the pictures spoke for themselves and after meeting with Connor we felt very comfortable booking Connor and his team for both our photography and video. Connor is a breeze to work and communicate with and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! Connor went above and beyond to get some beautiful shots-candid moments and great family pictures. We are so happy we went with CH Photography! -

Connor was beyond professional prior to, during, and after our wedding. He captured ALL of our special moments and transformed them into the most beautiful photographs. Connor was extremely personable, funny, and wonderful with the kids. We couldn’t possibly be happier with our decision to have him as our photographer and would highly recommend him to EVERYONE! -

Sarah Sent on 01/30/2019Talented photographer!
We had a great time working with Connor! We felt like his price was more than fair for everything that he included. He prefers to communicate through text messages, which was something I did not realize at first, but once I did, he responded very quickly! The day of our wedding, he was punctual, organized, and definitely knew what he was doing. He took charge working with our limo driver to tell him where we needed to go. This might seem small, but I was extremely grateful to be relieved of having to give directions. We were looking for a photographer who was going to be able to capture those valuable candid moments for us. Connor did an excellent job doing this! We were a very silly bridal party and my husband and I just wanted to be with our dearest family and friends without having to spend all day posing for photos, but still have memories to look back on. We could not be more pleased with Connor as our photographer!

Best kept secret in Pittsburgh
Connor was so much fun to work with. From the engagement pictures to the wedding he kept my fiance and I laughing and relaxed. He is very creative and can work magic with even the more mundane appearing backdrops (my engagement photos were in January with dead plants and looked amazing). Not to mention, he is efficient because he takes a good photo the first time - we got all our pictures done for the wedding and finished early! You can't go wrong with booking him for your wedding! -

Connor was wonderful! Our connection started right from the start and lasted from the first phone call to the last picture of the night. I loved Connor's photography style from the pictures that I saw on his website. Connor also did an engagement shoot session. We were fighting sunlight and Connor did such a great job fitting in every specific picture that I wanted, as well as, getting his artistry pictures. I gave Connor artistic freedom for whatever pictures he thought would make for a wonderful memory and I think he did great. The day of the wedding, Connor was great with making sure the guys were hidden while the girls were on the move and vis a vis. Connor brought an assistant to make for a more smooth session and they both interacted with both groups throughout the day. I was debating between Connor and a well-known photography studio and I ultimately decided to go with Connor because he was much more responsive and much more personable. We recently received our wedding day pictures from Connor and they are absolutely amazing and everything I could have asked for. I would reccomend Connor to any soon-to-be-newlyweds! -

Erin Sent on 11/17/2018Amazing Photographer
Connor is an amazing photographer. We actually stumbled upon him by accident and we are so happy that we did. He captured not only important moments of our wedding in his photography but he also captured the art of it. We could tell he really loved doing what he does. He is enthusiastic, fun, dedicated and free spirited. We did not have to fake smile in any of our pictures, because Connor would put a smile on your face. All of our guest were amazed by his personality and by his work. Connor was the talk of our wedding. He showed up to start taking pictures at 8:30 am and stayed until after 9:00 pm, I do not know of any photographers that would do this. He helped the groomsmen put there boutineers on, pocket squares, veil, and so much more. Connor is the total package. We got our wedding pictures back quickly and they looked stunning. We look forward to using Connor again in the near future! -

Phenomenal!
I would recommend Connor a million times over! He was beyond amazing on the day of our wedding. He made everything so much easier on me. When he saw me freaking out about making sure everything was on time he calmed me down and just made the day go smoother. He flew all the way to Florida to capture our wedding day! Connor is absolutely, without a doubt the most amazing photographer I’ve ever encountered and you definitely want him to capture your big day! (: -

Alexandra Sent on 09/26/2018My husband and I loved working with Connor. He was very relaxed but extremely organized and easy to work with. He made us laugh a lot during our sessions and we could tell he really cared about taking the best photos of us he could. On the day of the wedding, he got to the church at 12PM and stayed at our venue until our lantern launch at 9:30PM! We absolutely loved how our engagement and wedding photos turned out and thought the quality versus price of his services was a total steal. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Julia Sent on 09/21/2018CONNOR IS LITERALLY THE BEST. Our pictures turned out so beautifully and we have gotten so many compliments on them. He knew how to pose us but also how to watch and wait for those perfect candid moments. He is so easy to communicate with and we absolutely loved working with him. He remained calm when guests were pulling him in a million different directions to take pictures. He has this calming sense about him that really helped when we got overwhelmed. I would rate him 1000/5 if I could. If you want an excellent, relaxed, talented, and fun photographer Connor is your guy.

Jonathan Sent on 09/14/2018From the very beginning of working with Connor, he exuded professionalism and charm. During the months leading up to our wedding, he really made the effort to get to know us and what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Connor knows hundreds of great spots to take photos in Pittsburgh, and picked just the right ones that fit our personalities. Connor’s own personality is very easy going, yet energetic and outgoing - and that energy definitely comes in handy when he is taking creative and exciting shots all day! Our families really loved working with him on our wedding day, remarking that he made them so comfortable, particularly if they may have felt shy in front of the camera.
We were Connor’s first male-male couple, and understand he has since worked with female-female couples. At no time were we ever the least bit uncomfortable sharing our love with his camera lens. Highly recommended for LGBT couples.
Importantly, his photos turned out magnificently, and we have received countless compliments on our photos! The portfolio of photos he gave us was prompt, vast, and uniformly high-quality. We loved that he took a variety of photos, from artsy Instagram-ready photos, to goofy and fun photos, to intimate and in-the-moment photos of us and our guests during the ceremony and reception.
We have already referred Connor to friends and family for their own celebrations, and highly recommend that you consider Connor for yours. -

Aly Sent on 08/02/2018Conner was the most fun and energetic photographer to work with. He went over and beyond to make our day special. Because of him I didn’t have a worry that day when it came to the pictures.. he knew exactly what to capture. His personality shines and you can tell he loves what he does.. it certainly shows in his work. We haven’t stopped looking at our pictures since we got them and we have had so many compliments. We are so lucky we found him and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else for our day.

Megan Sent on 03/08/2018Thee most amazing experience. One thing you do not want to worry about on your wedding day is if all the pictures you've imagined for years will be perfect. Connor not only made ours perfect, but he had so many creative ideas for them that we were blown away. Our engagement session was amazing and allowed us to get to know him for the genuine soul he is. Shane and I became friends with him and he was like having a guest at our wedding more than a stranger with a camera. He went above and beyond by coming up early to take video and detail shots. Started the day at 9 am and didn't leave till 11pm. Every shot was perfect and thought out. He truly cares about his clients and I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Jesse Sent on 01/22/2018We can't say enough about Connor's level of artistic ability. His ability to imagine interesting and unique shots was incredible. We felt more than comfortable the entire time, and even had him to give us some pointers while we were cutting our cake! The stunning images he captured will be on display for the rest of our lives. Our day would not have been nearly as special without him as our photographer. Thank you for everything, Connor! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone getting married in the Greater Pittsburgh area!! -

Michael Sent on 10/18/2017Phenomenal to Work with and Incredibly Talented!!!
We booked Connor to photograph and video our Pittsburgh wedding in August, 2017. From our first inquiry through providing the final product, Connor was very responsive, professional, and flexible with our requests. He made it clear from the beginning that his goal was to capture our day in the best possible way. Connor came to our house on multiple occasions to review Pinterest boards, discuss timing and locations, and share his thoughts on what would make our album great.
On our wedding day, Connor and his team arrived early to make sure they didn't miss a moment. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to late night at the reception, everything was captured. Timetables can be very tight during a wedding, and he had a great way of keeping everybody on track while still setting a fun tone with the guests. We really appreciated how he took charge because without Connor orchestrating things, we never would have captured all of the moments we had discussed. We had a great time working with him, and are so glad that we chose him to document our big day.
Shortly after the wedding, Connor provided a handful of highlights which was great as we used these for our thank you cards. The turnaround on the final product very quick, and we were blown away by how great everything came out. He provided a highlight video set to music (impossible to get through without tears), along with all of the raw footage and over 1,000 incredible pictures. The quality of the pictures shows just how talented Connor is.
Do yourself a favor and reach out to Connor if you are looking for the best wedding photographer in town! -

Sarah Sent on 12/08/2017I came across Connor on WeddingWire when I needed emergency engagement pics done fast after a series of frustrating events with another photographer. Connor got back to me right away and we booked our shoot for that same weekend. After seeing our engagement pics, we backed out of the contract with our first photographer and booked Connor to capture our wedding day too because we loved him and his work so much!
His personality was so much fun to work with and he's clearly passionate about every shot he takes-- there are many karate kicks and punches after taking a picture he's really stocked about! The quality of the pictures are amazing and now I have the dilemma of having too many favorites to choose from. I would recommend Connor to anyone I come across! -
