    1000 % Recommend!!!

    Wow, I don't even know where to begin how to describe our session with Chris! He had made our session personal and beautiful all at the same time! He was able to capture our personalities and kept us laughing the whole time! If you are looking for a photographer who will guide you and help you pose with ease, he is your photographer! Chris is a wonderful individual who made everything that was nerving at first become second nature. We are so excited for him to capture our wedding as well! Thank you Chris for an amazing session and the more memories you'll capture!

    Great quality pictures!

    Chris was so much fun to work with! We were definitely nervous for our engagement photo shoot as we both can be a tad bit awkward in photos sometimes! You can see how awkward we felt in our first photo and then there's a rapid progression of us feeling more and more comfortable as Chris walked us through the shoot and even shared some tips about photography. He was always super polite and nice! We love our photos and honestly its going to be tough to pick which ones to frame/use for save the dates/etc. He picked a beautiful spot to do the session (Harkness Park), had a plan for if it drizzled (and planned to reschedule if it poured), and also let us do an outfit change halfway through! It was like getting two sessions in one :) Finally, my fiance usually lets us take all of three photographs together before he's "done" but with Chris he actually had some fun!!!

    Amazing session with Chris!

    Chris was so wonderful to work with! We won the session with Chris via a giveaway he was doing. We were coming from out of town and sat in a ton of traffic- he was very flexible with our start time and was patient to wait for us! He answered all my questions ahead of time and guided us through a wonderful session. He gave us amazing pointers in order to help us get the best photos! Would totally recommend him

    Wouldn't change a thing!

    There are no words to express how grateful we are that we found Photography Stiles! Chris' personality and professionalism shown through from our very first phone call. He instantly made us feel relaxed! We first got to see him in action at our engagement shoot. We were so nervous because we had never had pictures done before. He was there early and scoped out the area so he had a solid plan! He put us at ease quickly by turning poses into fun games and scenarios! We had a blast! The experience alone was great but then we got the pictures. We were absolutely blown away! They were beautiful! We couldn't wait for him to photograph the wedding! Wedding day came and again he was kind, professional, and funny! His knowledge and passion for his craft is enviable. Then as a surprise he had a sneak peak of our photos after dinner at the wedding! What?!! They were gorgeous and were displayed for all on the bar!! It was so amazing and truly magical!! We could not recommend Chris enough! He is truly a master at what he does!!

    such a fun experience

    We just got our engagement pictures back and they not only exceeded our expectations, but they blew them out of the water! We were nervous about the session because we both lean towards awkward when taking pictures. Chris was so fun to work with and made us feel very comfortable! He is also very responsive whenever we had any questions! I would highly recommend him to any couple!

    Look no further- Chris is the best there is!!!

    We had the best experience with our engagement session. We have never had professional pictures taken but a few minutes in and Chris had us feeling relaxed and having a great time. We LOVE our photos SO much. We haven't stopped looking at them and have received so many compliments on them. The pictures came out better than we ever imagined. We are so happy we went with Chris and feel so confident knowing we will have the most amazing wedding photos too. :) Chris has been so easy to communicate with and provided helpful tips for finding a location for pictures, and a guide with suggestions for coordinating our outfits! Would 100% recommend Chris to any and everyone.

    Fantastic experience!

    My fiancé and I had an amazing engagement session with Chris. We got engaged in March of 2020, and because of Covid looming over our entire engagement, we really haven't had many opportunities to get excited and be in the moment as an engaged couple. For a few hours, all the anxiety of wedding planning during a pandemic went away, and we just had fun. And it shows in the photos! He made us super comfortable, and got some incredible shots! We are NOT models and had no clue what to do, but he guided us through it all. We shot at Harkness State Park, and because of his familiarity with the area, it literally looks like we shot at three different locations. Chris also delivered the photos to us much earlier than we expected. My sister recommended Chris to me, and I've already passed his info on to a friend. You definitely won't be disappointed with this guy!

    Great experience with beautiful photos

    We had the best time taking engagement pictures with Chris! We don’t love having pictures taken of us but he made us feel totally comfortable the whole time (from our first phone call to the shoot to receiving our pictures). He had creative ideas and was also open to our ideas! He did a wonderful job capturing our very energetic dog which can be difficult! The pictures came out amazing and he got them back to us quickly!! We hope to book again for our wedding!

    Makes you feel like his only couple!

    We couldn't be happier with our choice to have Chris as our wedding photographer. With so many wedding vendors, I had to wonder if they were still on track for our wedding or if they'd forgotten about us. With Chris, we never had to worry about that. He was SO attentive, went out of his way to stay in touch with us, and was just so friendly and fun to get to know throughout the process! By the time he arrived when I was getting ready on my wedding day, I felt like we had a good friend showing up. The quality of his photos and his professionalism while making us feel at ease and capturing authentic photos was just the cherry on top. Our pictures are gorgeous! We've gotten so many compliments on them and will always cherish them. Thank you, Chris!!

    Chris exceeds expectations!

    I cannot say enough about how amazing Chris is! Our engagement session pictures came out better than I could have ever expected and make me SO excited to see what our wedding pictures look like. Chris is so kind and his love for what he does shines through during every single stage of the process. He gives you tips and tricks and talks you through everything while also keeping you relaxed enough that the pictures feel and look authentically you. I couldn't recommend Chris enough. If you haven't hired him for your wedding yet - RUN!

    One of the best decisions I made!

    Chris and team were absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, Chris was responsive, welcoming and flexible through every step of the process. The photos look amazing and Chris made it a JOY to be photographed instead of just one more thing to do on ourwedding day. THANK YOU!

    Amazing Photographer

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! I was always a big believer that everything happens for a reason and working with him proved that to be true. I plan weddings for a living and when it was time to plan my own I originally booked another photographer. Well, thanks to covid we ended up postponing twice and ended up with a date that our first photographer wasn’t available for. Enter Chris! I had worked a wedding with him a couple years prior and was so impressed with his professionalism, easy going personality, and of course the beautiful photos that he took- that I knew he was the right photographer for us. He put up with all my calls freaking out about covid and my big crazy family and made it look effortless. Not to mention he got all of our photos back to us in three weeks (which is basically unheard of)! If you are looking for a photographer who takes stunning photos and is an absolute pleasure to work with- look no further!

    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    Chris was everything we were hoping to find in a photographer and more. From day one we could tell how professional, attentive, and supportive he was. From the portraits down to the weather decisions, he made everything easy. Leading up to our day, Chris provided us with a planner so that we were able to specify all the shots we wanted, and to make sure that everyone was on the same page about our day-of timeline. He answered our many questions and gave us guidance regarding our wedding day forecast (it was supposed to rain all week!). On the day-of, he was on time, prepared, and efficient! He worked through our entire portrait list without us having to worry about anything, and captured so many special, candid moments. Chris was also so quick to return our photos- without compromising quality whatsoever. The moments he captured are beautiful, and will be hanging all over our house for the years to come. We can’t thank Chris enough for all of his hard work and incredible skill. We HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding day!

    Best wedding planning decision

    My husband and I both full heartedly agree that choosing Photography Stiles was our best wedding planning decision. From the very first phone call with Chris, he was so kind and so focused. In person, his laid back energy immediately calmed us during our engagement session. (Which was SO much fun.) After meeting him, and seeing his beautiful work, we knew we needed his talent and humor on our wedding day as well.

    In the months leading up to the wedding, he was always quick to answer emails and offer assistance. Also love the ease of his online platform to make payments and view our photos as well. We so appreciate that he took the time to get to know us and our tastes before the wedding too.

    On our wedding day he was beyond amazing. Chris, and his second shooter Jen beautifully captured every moment of that long, and special day, while also helping to coordinate the entire time! So grateful for the extra care and effort they both put in to help ensure everything went smooth.

    And of course, forever thankful for our beautiful photos. So many came out absolutely stunning. The mix of arsty shots and traditional portraits was exactly what I was hoping for.

    We SO highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, personable, hardworking, beyond amazing photographer.

    Also recommend following him on instagram, where you'll find beautiful photos, weather info, and get some good laughs :)

    Thank you so very much!

    Unforgettable!

    Our experience was just amazing! My fiance is not one for photoshoots but Christopher was awesome about making us feel comfortable. I loved the entire time we were together! He captured exactly what I had pictured. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking into needing engagement/wedding photos. 5 stars for sure!!

    Beautiful photos!

    From the very first phone call, I could tell that Chris was kind, experienced, and had the exact photography style we were looking for. He did such an amazing job capturing fun reception shots, the most beautiful moments of our church ceremony, and the happiness on everyone's faces in between. He was so calm and professional to work with on our wedding day, and our family couldn't believe how well he just blended in and captured special moments without interrupting. I am absolutely thrilled with our pictures after receiving our digital gallery and cannot wait to start ordering prints!! I highly recommend Photography Stiles!

    Wedding Photos?! Go to Chris!

    I am absolutely the Googler! I found Chris by googling "photographer," who actually met and exceeded all of our expectations. I have a lot of friends who are professional photographers, and my standards are very high. It was important to me to have someone that made us comfortable (awkward photos are the worst!), who listened to my wants & needs, and who could capture incredible images. Especially, I came from a very different culture with very different standards of "beauty." I’m glad that we did an engagement session last November with Chris before our wedding to get to know each other more and be that much more comfortable. Chris is absolutely very communicative, flexible, and very detail-oriented. Not only are his images stunning, but his editing and colorwork are more than excellent. Since my parents could not attend the wedding due to the pandemic traveling restriction, the worst part of the process was choosing which photos to print and turn into an album because there are hundreds of incredible photos. I’d highly recommend working with Chris!

    Amazing!!!

    Chris was exceptional to work with for my wedding in July! He made my husband, my bridal party, my family and I feel extremely comfortable as he took both formal and candid photos. I couldn’t be more impressed with our photos and cannot wait to get our wedding album!

    Hire Photography Stiles!

    It is not every day I feel compelled to write a review for a fellow wedding photographer. However, through my experiences working for Chris and watching him photograph his couples first hand, I had to. Chris is timely, detail oriented, and takes genuine care of his couples. He provides posing guidance that embraces the essence of his couples without it feeling overly posed. He organizes bridal parties and families with a leadership style that is organized and effective and leaves everyone feeling confident. Not only is he kind and attentive to his couples, he treats your other wedding vendors well (this. is. huge.). From your coordinator to florist and your justice of the peace to your DJ. He stays aligned with every vendor to ensure your day runs as well as it possibly can. And the resulting images. They are clean, emotive, and truly capture the essence of your big day. From another photographer to all of you - hire Photography Stiles for your big day. You will NOT regret it.

    Best Experience!

    Amazing experience! Chris did our engagement photo session and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He encouraged us to experiment with silly, fun, and sweet, romantic poses and helped us when we needed inspiration. We picked a really unique location with dim lighting, and he embraced the challenge and made us look awesome! He reassured us that we were “nailing it!” and the photos were living proof! Speaking of, we got our digital photos back in just over one week!!! Highly recommend Chris - you will thank yourself for choosing Photography Stiles for your special events.

    Great photos!!!

    My fiancé and I won a contest for a free engagement photo session with Chris!! From the beginning Chris was super responsive and so easy to work with! We decided to have our engagement photos taken at Lyman Orchards. My fiancé and I were both a little nervous to have our pictures taken but Chris made that day so much fun for us and made us feel completely comfortable. We had some special spots around the property that we wanted to get some shots at and Chris worked with us to make sure we got the most perfect photos!! We are currently still searching for a wedding venue but we are definitely going to be booking Chris as our wedding photographer!! Our engagement photos came out soooooo AMAZING!!!!

    10/10 Experience

    My fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with Chris earlier this month, and he was absolutely fantastic to work with! From start to finish, Chris made us feel comfortable and was so much fun. It was like hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking pictures of you. But not only is he a pleasure to be around, he is extremely talented. I am very picky about pictures and was worried we would have a hard time finding one we both liked for our save the dates. However, it felt like each photo was better than the last, and we are having a hard time deciding which of the many fabulous photos to choose. We cannot wait for Chris to shoot our wedding next June!

    Best. Photographer. Ever.

    I don’t know where to begin. Chris is an absolute rockstar and captured our wedding perfectly. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he is fun, enthusiastic, and kind. He bends over backwards for his brides and grooms. Between sweating it out in the heat to capture the perfect portraits to staying an extra hour to take photos when our dancing started later than expected, Chris went above and beyond to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted. We received all of our photos today, and I cried from how perfect they all were. If you are in need of a wedding photographer, RUN, don’t walk, to Photography Stiles!

    Extremely Professional with Bonus Weather Knowledge!

    We had a great time working with Chris! From the first phone conversation we had, we had the strong feeling that both our personalities and our desired style was a great match. We were not sure what to expect from the engagement session, but Chris was extremely helpful in helping us to feel comfortable. In both this session and at our wedding, it became clear that while Chris certainly has a plan, he is prepared to utilize all of his knowledge to adapt to the conditions that are available at the time. He was extremely responsive throughout the process and it was more valuable than we expected to have a photographer with such a detailed understanding of weather data! We would recommend Chris to anyone!
