    Wedding Photographer

    Having the most Beautiful Photographs and Videos of my wedding was my top priority.
    These are the memories that you will cherish and have for a lifetime to look back and reflect on.
    I was in a wedding 10 years ago that Chris photographed. Seeing his incredible work and high level of professionalism, without a doubt, I knew he was the one.
    Chris Genovese and his team at Genovese Studios will make sure you have the perfect wedding photos and films. His work will be there to tell your story. The posed shots are incredible. The pictures of friends, family, and the venue, truly a masterpiece of art…they are simply perfect!
    Watching the videos brought back all the emotions of that day. We look forward to sharing the videos and rewatching for years to come.
    Chris and his team brought a high level of professionalism throughout the whole process.
    I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family that are planning a wedding.

    Chris,
    Thank you so much for an incredible job and being such a special part of our journey.

    Highly Recommend Chris and his Team!

    So thankful to Chris and team photographer Vanessa, for their hard work on our wedding day! They are both a true PLEASURE, to work with! They captured such lovely moments, despite a myriad of hurdles, which were all completely out of their control. Not only were they excellent photographers, but they also advocated for us when things got out of sorts with our other vendors, which is something they didn't have to do. We are so grateful for their professionalism, punctuality and fantastic work. Highly recommend!

    Highly recommended!!!

    We are truly grateful we choose Genovese Studios to shoot our wedding. We were uneasy at first finding a good photographer but, from the first phone call, Chris was so down to earth, kind, and personable which made us like him right away and his professionalism made us feel happy and confident he was the right choice.
    Chris and Vanessa, were an incredibly amazing team and, they made our wedding day so pleasant by their professionalism and respect for all our wishes. They did such a fantastic job capturing so many special moments despite how little direction we gave them. We were impressed with how quickly we got our photos back and very happy with the quality of the photos and the eye and talent they had for capturing the many details that enhanced the photos. We love that we now have such beautiful photos to show our family and friends!
    Thank you Genovese Studio for making our wedding day a picture perfect memory to cherish!

    A memorable day!

    Chris and his team were amazing! They were all wonderful and easy to work with! Chris worked with us to design the wedding package we wanted. We received our photos and video in a timely manner and they looked beautiful!
    We found Chris on The Knot wedding website, and he immediately replied to our inquiry. The quality of our pictures are stunning and elegant, capturing each moment perfectly. Chris kept in contact with us, providing us reminders and answered any questions or concerns we had. Chris is very down to earth, which was good for us because neither of us are picture people and he made our dreams come to life in his photos. We had a lot of picture requests and Chris accommodated them all.
    We also did engagement photos with Chris and we were a bit nervous since neither of us are picture people, but Chris coached us through the photos and people loved our Save the Dates.
    We will treasure the photos and video of our special day! Thank you Genovese Studios!

    Wonderful photographer, very experienced

    Chris and his team were excellent! We loved our engagement photos around Hermann Park and the wedding and reception photos came out stellar! He really was wonderful to work with and his calm personality and energy really was nice on a day that moves so quickly. He is very experienced, professional and very detail-oriented, which we loved. We highly recommend Chris and really are impressed with how our photos came out! We will cherish forever.

    Gorgeous pictures, wonderful team

    Chris was a dream to work with! He was responsive over email for months prior to our wedding day and then seemed like he was able to capture every detail. Our pictures are perfect and the photographers were even able to deal with some difficult weather and direct sunlight. I am so impressed and would recommend to anyone.

    Beautiful and Professional!

    Chris has a magical way of making every moment beautiful! Most of the time (during engagements, bridals, and the wedding) I hardly noticed he was there! After we received our pictures, it was amazing that he truly did capture every important moment and was able to tell me and my husband's story through pictures. I felt comfortable and trusted Chris that we were going to have beautiful pictures that we could appreciate for the rest of our lives!

    Chris Genovese is a true artist!

    Chris Genovese is by far one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. His attention to detail, professionalism, quality of work, and interpersonal skills really set him apart from the rest. While shooting my portrait, I never felt rushed and he listened to my input about settings and camera angles. At the wedding, he and his assistant caught every important moment. His communication with the client was always timely and detailed with all my questions answered. The finished product is exquisite and demonstrates what an exceptional artist he is. I highly recommend him and, should the need arise, will hire him again!

    A True Professional - Amazing Photos

    Chris was a true professional from the start. We found him after searching through numerous photographers and his photos certainly stood out. When we reached out to a few photographers he responded without delay and we were able to set up a call to get to know him. We had the misfortune of planning our wedding during the height of COVID, but Chris worked with us in every which way to eliminate any concerns and keep us excited about our shoots (engagement, bridal, and wedding).

    When it came to the shoots Chris was so friendly and was happy to take any shots we wanted or to recommend locations, poses, and lighting based on his expertise. At the wedding Chris, and his second shooter were so much fun to work with and captured every moment we could have hoped for - candid, action, and posed. As we expected, the final photos were incredible and will be memories to cherish for a lifetime!

    We can't recommend Chris and Genovese Studios highly enough!

    Exactly what we were looking for!

    We hired Genovese Studios to capture our wedding (photo/video) and we couldn't have been more pleased! Chris and his team are so easy to work with and we are in love with their style and final product.

    Chris took the time to meet with us and it was very evident he really cared about what our vision was, but more importantly, he took the time to create a relationship with us. This made us feel even more comfortable working with them throughout the wedding festivities.

    The process from beginning to end was very enjoyable and clear that Chris and his team have a lot of experience doing this. From excellent line of communication to finished product, there were never really any hiccups. And if there were, Chris and his team did an excellent job handling that behind the scenes.

    We highly recommend Genovese Studios for any future weddings, you will love Chris and his team! Their work speaks for itself!

    Great photographer

    Chris and his team were easy to work with, professional, and beautifully documented our wedding day. We actually used Chris for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day. From the start he answered all our questions and accommodated our requests. When we had to postponed our wedding due to covid, he was understanding and worked with us to find another date. His photos portray special moments of our wedding. He captured genuine moments and not just poses, which is what I wanted. I would highly recommend Chris and his team.

    Beautiful, Timeless Photos at Unbeatable Value (My Best Decision!)

    Having a dad who is into photography, I always had a certain idea of what good photography looks like. That is what I saw when I looked at Genovese Studios’ portfolio. The compositions looked clean and intentional and the images, crystal clear. I like the rich but natural color that Chris delivers in his photography. I feel like nowadays it’s easy for anyone to pick up a camera, throw on some filters, and overcharge people for photos. I liked that Chris was formally trained, and I liked his classic and timeless style. Considering that, his prices are excellent value for the quality and expertise received. I liked that he has a bunch of galleries available for viewing, so that I could see consistent quality in how a whole wedding was shot rather than just a few cherry-picked photos. I could not find a photo I didn’t like in his portfolio. Which is why I booked Genovese Studios ASAP! On top of being a great photographer, Chris is a great person to work with. He is friendly, genuine, straightforward, calm, and professional. The customer service did not stop after he got our business. He is very responsive to emails and shares your concerns, taking time to explain things when needed. He was very flexible and understanding with us having to postpone our reception due to COVID-19. He was efficient at group portraits on wedding day. His second shooter was friendly and professional and got good shots as well. Turnaround time was fast. I am so happy with our wedding photos and the moments that were captured. I think the classic images will stand the test of time and someday be a cherished heirloom. I can’t wait to work with Chris again for our wedding reception! Choosing Genovese Studios was one of the best decisions I made wedding planning (and I know my photographer dad is happy, too).
    :)

    Best Choice for our Wedding!

    Chris and his team are awesome and we couldn't be happier with the WHOLE experience! From our very first meeting with him all the way to after the wedding, Chris never skipped a beat. Great communication, super organized and talented! We felt at ease with him knowing we could trust him to capture all of our special moments. Not to mention he's just a super cool guy that you would want to go have a beer with makes it even easier to just be yourself in front of the camera! Definitely recommend Genovese Studios and will for sure be using him for anything else we need in the future. Thanks for everything Chris!

    Flawless service

    We had our wedding this year on October 31st, 2020, and our engagement photos were done last year in 2019. Chris & his team were always there for the perfect shot, and the video that was put together for us is incredible. We were happy with our choice after the engagement photos, but during the wedding it was another level of service. The quality, and professionalism from them was absolutely spectacular. We highly recommend Chris & his team for your wedding, or any other photography/videography needs you may have!

    Fantastic photographer

    Chris with Genovese Studios was a FANTASTIC photographer to work with for our special day! We searched high and low for a photographer because we knew these photos would be all we would have left to remember our special day and we are so glad we found Chris! His photography packages offer everything you could want/need in wedding photos. He was also very willing to work with our budget and creating a package that matched our needs. The pictures came out wonderful for both our engagement session and wedding! As a couple who had to reschedule due to COVID19 he was also very accommodating and understanding when we had to postpone our date. His assistant on our wedding day was also wonderful as well!

    Very professional, organized, and kind

    We are so happy we hired Genovese Studios to do our wedding and engagement photos. Chris was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. Even during these unprecedented times, he made the process feel so smooth and stress-free. Chris and his team were wonderful at the wedding and made us feel very comfortable. We absolutely LOVED how all of the photos turned out and we were so so happy to see all of the great moments that they were able to capture on camera. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! You will not regret it.

    They captured the love

    We ordered two photographers, one for the groomsmen and another for the bridal party. They were punctual and patient. I appreciated their professionalism throughout the day and into the evening. We got the pictures back and they didn’t miss a thing! They captured the subtleties that told the story that, “love was in air.” We thank them so much.

    Look No Further!!

    From engagement shoot to the sparkler send off at the wedding, Chris was an absolutely perfect example of what you look for in a wedding photographer. His portfolio is outstanding, he is communicative and helpful, and has tons of experience and advice. He followed my wife and I all the way up to Colorado to capture our day in the mountains and we are so glad he did. As we repeatedly go through the gallery of photos he put together, we are absolutely struck by the happiness, beauty and special moments that Chris and his coworker captured. His photos are pure artwork with just enough editing to make them stand out and speak for thier own, without covering them in layers of artificial color and touch ups. Chris and his help will make suggestions based on thier experience, help keep your wedding day on track, and be a delight to have around the entire time, all for a very competitive and reasonable price!! Genovese Studios is the exact right choice for all of your wedding photography needs!

    Exceptional Choice

    Hiring Chris and his team for our wedding day (and my bridal portraits) were easily one of the best decisions we made! They were punctual, professional, and extremely friendly! It's easy to feel awkward when you're constantly posing for pictures on the day of, but his team made us all feel very comfortable. The quality of the photos (and video) has been nothing short of exceptional. I would highly recommend Genovese Studios to anyone looking for a great team to capture the happiest day of your life!
