    Multi-generational Family Photo

    Though our session with Chris did not involve a wedding, he proved to be the ideal photographer for our multi-generational group. Our photography session was a surprise 70th birthday gift for this grandma. Chris did an outstanding job of dealing with our diverse group that included energetic little boys, tween girls, disinterested adults and excited grandmothers. His personable, laid back approach made each and every one of us feel comfortable from the start. With flexibility and photographic expertise, he captured numerous beautiful family photographs. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests...even jumping in a kayak so that he could photograph us from the lake!
    Furthermore, I appreciated his help and patience to expertly edit photos. The results were amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the two canvas enlargements, including one taken from the kayak, that I purchased from him. Thank you, Chris for your part in my best birthday gift ever!

    We had a fantastic time with Chris and Jen on our wedding day!!! They were so laid back and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera…even on a hot August day. Chris is amazing with lighting and knows how to make each picture unique. While Jen is excellent at capturing those unforgettable moments so with their combined talent you get incredible photos that you will love for a life time. Every time people look at our engagement and wedding photos they are amazed at the quality and always ask who our photographer was and I’m proud to say Sawicki Studios. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

    Amazing Experience

    Chris and Jen were even better than we could have hoped for and helped make our wedding experience fantastic. They were flexible throughout the day and were so creative with the shots they took. They made us and our entire wedding party feel comfortable. Chris and Jen were so respectful of our time and of our guests. They were able to work quickly and efficiently so that we were able to enjoy our wedding without spending the entire day taking pictures. They got sneak peaks to us very quickly and we were blown away by the beautiful pictures they took. We would highly recommend them to any one looking to make sure they capture truly special pictures of significant events. Honestly could not be happier with Chris and Jen. Great people with amazing talent.

    Simply the best.

    Even though there are 700,000+ words in the English language, there’s still nothing to describe just how fantastic Jen and Chris are!! From our first email to receiving my digital files I have been absolutely floored by their kindness, professionalism and the outstanding quality of their work. I had a very small covid wedding with a very tight budget, so I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to have quality photos of my day-but I was quite wrong. Jen and Chris are so personable and work so seamlessly that in just the short time we had with them, they were able to capture all the special moments of our day (around 1400 photos in a little less than 2 hours). Chris made us feel comfortable and gave helpful directions for otherwise would be awkward poses during couple shoots, and Jen floated through the day capturing moments I didn’t know I needed, but now I can’t imagine being without. I am so grateful to the Sawicki team and just OBSESSED with the way my photos came out. I never would have imagined that our tiny little wedding would have been captured so glamorously. They shot such beautiful moments between my husband and I, between our family, and I cannot stop staring at the photos! I am so thrilled to have found and worked with them. They listened to everything I asked for and directed hundreds of gorgeous shots; they even remembered shots I had previously asked for and forgotten about day of. They’re a MUST hire for any special occasion!!! They are genuinely the best and the best is what everyone should have for their wedding. 10/10 all around!!

    Amazing! Must hire for wedding

    We hired Chris & Jen Sawicki for our engagement and wedding sessions, and let me say, they are one of the best photographers you will find in the Capital Region area!! My now-husband and I are beyond happy and grateful to have had the Sawicki team on our side for one of the most important and special events in our lives! Chris & Jen are personable, professional and at the same time low-key, so you won't even notice they're there. They have a keen eye to details, and their editing techniques will blow you out of the water when you see your final products. We couldn't be more thrilled to have had Sawicki Photography with us. Chris & Jen, thank you for everything! We cannot wait to see our final photos, but we're all (including family & friends) blown away by just the blog! Thank you for everything!! :)

    Amazing photos and fun to work with

    The Absolute Best Photographers

    When it comes to picking your wedding photographer, you just don't have a second chance. No matter how amazing the venue, caterer, DJ, etc, the most tangible and lasting memories will be those captured by your photographer.

    My husband and I feel overwhelmingly blessed and fortunate that we chose Sawicki Studios, Chris and Jen, as our photographers for our wedding at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs, NY. I have known of Sawicki Studios for years and have followed their blog religiously and knew that when I got married, I would have them photograph my wedding. Not only are they outstanding photographers, but their graphic design, photoshop work is to die for. If there is any chance of a bad weather day, Chris can use his photoshop magic and make the day look bright and beautiful. For instance, there is a "Reflection Pool" at my venue, but the pool was empty during my wedding... but according to my photos, the pool was full with a perfect mirror. Props to Chris!

    Chris made a great impression from the very first point of contact: responsive, friendly, and open to finding out what worked best for us. We also appreciated the fact that he made an effort to connect with us on a personal level, as it really made a difference to us that he wanted to get to know us as a couple, rather than just "another client".

    When it came to the day of the wedding, you could not hope for anything more. He knew the day's itinerary like the back of his hand, and was able to comfortably make his way to every crucial moment, position himself in the best spots, and capture every key memory that you knew (and many you didn't know!) you wanted to be captured. I also love the candid moments he was able to photograph, the kind of shots that separated our wedding from all the others, the kind that made our special day feel truly unique and one-of-a-kind.

    When Sawicki Studios posted our blog on their website, the results took our breath away. I don't know how Chris and Jen do it, but they had the uncanny ability to capture not just our best side, but our most genuine and heart felt moments and emotions. I can't imagine many people can do what Sawicki Studios can do, so don't miss out!

    Breathtaking photos!

    Chris and his wife, Jen are simply amazing. They do the best work in the area, if not in New York. He does whatever he can to get the best shots, whether it be jumping on random pieces of furniture or standing in the rain to get breath-taking photographs. They will not disappoint you. His photos go above and beyond your expectation. He also worked with my crazy idea as my first look in a blow up dinosaur costume, which he even made THAT look amazing.

    Go with your gut

    The main thing i can say with hiring a photographer is GO WITH YOUR GUT. I hired a photographer ( not chris) when I first got engaged who was highly well known and popular and had a low price in the photography world. I wasn’t truly amazed by his photos they were just par and had no editing to them. I used him for an engagement shoot and from the second we started the shoot his energy was very rushed and anxious and i got a pit in my stomach about hiring him. Once we got the photos back I decided I did not want to work with him and so I had to go back to the drawing board. I found Chris but figured there was no way I could afford someone who had photos with as nice of quality as his. I messaged him on Facebook just to check and he was a bit over budget I told him unfortunately I could not afford that and he replied “that’s my off season I can work with that”. My mouth dropped and I ran around cheering. A few weeks later my fiancé and i met with him and he was the complete opposite of the previous photographer I had hired. He was SO relaxed and comforting. He just knew what he wanted to do and he didn’t try to sell us anything or tell us any lies and i booked him right away. He shot our wedding last Saturday and i am not lying when i tell you except for staged photos i NEVER saw him (which is a HUGE positive). I don’t remember seeing him walking down the aisle, during the first dance, nothing. But all of the sudden he uploaded these INSANE photos that he took that according to all my friends and family are “award winning”. And not only that but he had 30 photos uploaded in 3 days after the wedding! The morning after we were at breakfast and got 4 photos! Tell me a photographer that gives you photos that quick! It was chilly the day of our wedding and he consistently asked me if i was too cold and wanted to go inside. He made all of our private photos and family photos extremely quick and everyone loved him. I cannot say enough about the kind heart and talent this man has. He is worth EVERY penny.

    Chris and Jen’s photos of our wedding are so much better than I could have ever imagined!! They were able to capture every nuance of the emotion and the meaning of the most perfect day ever. I love every image! Their professionalism and talent are exemplary. I cannot adequately express how much I appreciate all the work they did the day of the wedding and since to produce such beautiful images. Chris and Jen worked seamlessly with the other vendors to be present for every important moment while not making their presence felt. The candids were truly candid and the more formal poses were fun and easygoing. We couldn’t be happier!

    Chris and Jen were amazing to work with! I have always admired their work and knew right from the beginning I wanted them to capture our wedding day. They were one time and made sure to check in before leaving to see if there were any last minute shots we wanted. They were very creative with their photography. They shared a sneak peek of our wedding photos and we are blown away with how amazing they look! Our friends and family are just as amazed with their work! I'd highly recommend Sawicki Studios! Great team and AMAZING photos!!

    Chris is a phenomenal photographer. He captured our big day in fairytale fashion. He didn't miss a single special moment and brought us to tears with the end product. Chris and his wife are the perfect team and are guaranteed to exceed your expectations. 11/10, the best of the best and truly exceptional!

    Chris was an amazing find for our wedding. After seeing his work via other friends' weddings and on Facebook, we inquired if he was free on fairly short notice (2 months). Luckily he was and worked with us to ensure we got everything we were looking for in a photographer. He arrived on time, got to work and was so stealthy in moving about the event you didn't even know he was there. We don't have our photos yet but he did produce a sneak peek and a preview on his blog within a few days after the event and from what I see, I know we are not disappointed. I highly recommend Sawicki Studios!

    Chris and his crew are amazing!!!! The quality of his work is without a doubt the best and we didn't have to think twice about who we wanted to capture our wedding day!! He also did my sisters wedding and the photos from that day sealed the deal for us having Chris do our photos!!! He was amazing at grabbing us for certain photos that he knew we would end up loving!!

    My family, husband, and I cannot say enough about Chris and his wife Jen! To say I am impressed with their work is an understatement. Chris arrived and was ready to start shooting the moment he walked through the door! He took beautiful photos of everything - from my jewelry and dress to people having fun on the dance floor. He took photos of every detail, and now we will be able to relive this day over and over again!

    What I loved most about working with Chris was his ability to pose my husband and I. He has a lot of experience and knows the best poses. I loved his willingness to try our suggestions (and his willingness to roll on the ground for a good shot!). He also had a great attitude - he was so easy to get along with. Honestly, I am SO glad we chose Sawicki Studios to capture our big day. The sneak peek shots he delivered the following day, as well as his blog post, were more than we could've ever asked for! :)

    Chris and Jen made every penny we spent for our wedding show through our photos! When we got a sneak peak, we were absolutely blown away with what he has done. They were absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't be anymore happy with the results we got. Everyone can't stop talking about how beautiful our wedding photos are. We can't thank you guys enough. Chris you're a genius! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

    Chris was a joy to work with! I met with 8 different photographers before I found him. All of the other photographers had the same "classic" style when Chris has this unique fairytale like style. He is very relaxed and layed back. He makes an awkward situation easy and fun to deal with. (Common who has a photographer following them around all day) We had a 1920s model T with us on our wedding day and as soon as Chris saw it the got excited and had a million Ideas. He was also very quick to get us a couple teaser pictures the next day and a blog with a Bunch of pictures 2 days later. We were absolutely blown away by the photos we have seen so far of our wedding and can't wait to see the rest.

    Five years ago I was checking out a friend's wedding photos done by Chris and instantly fell in love with the shots. When I finally got engaged, the first email I sent was to Chris. I am located about two hours away and he was willing to skype, email, call and even come here to make it work. He was nothing but awesome from the beginning!! He did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I literally can't say enough great things. Not only does he capture mind-blowingly good photos (seriously), but he's also just an awesome guy who was fun and calm and down for whatever. We shot on roofs, in alleys, and even in the middle of the road and let me tell you, I get compliments on the photos multiple times per day. If I could recommend one thing to another bride-to-be it would be to go all out on your photographer- specifically, on Chris Sawicki. I promise you will not regret it!!!

    We could not express more admiration for the amazing work that Chris did at our wedding. His level of service and attentiveness were paralleled and the money we spent on him was about the best money we spent on our entire day. After some major disappointments from other vendors, Chris's assistant was very sweet and we went on with our night with a smile on our face. We can't thank them more!

    Chris and his wife, Jen photographed our wedding last week, and they did an absolutely amazing job. Starting from our initial consultation and continuing through our wedding day and beyond, Chris has been a model of professionalism. He was willing to meet with us or have a long telephone call when we requested or had questions, which was a huge help to us. He also took control of the day of timeline, which was another huge help to us in organizing our family and friends on our wedding day. He and Jen took the most absolutely beautiful photos I have ever seen. I can't believe that it's me in some of them. They were also able to provide us with a good amount of photos within a few days, which meant I could show them to my friends and family that much sooner. When I do show them, my family constantly comments that they never even noticed them taking pictures. They did a great job of getting the perfect shot without being obtrusive. It was absolutely perfect! I would recommend them to anyone looking to hire a photographer.
    Thank you Chris and Jen!

    The best photographer around!! If you want to remember your wedding there is no other person that I would recommend except Sawicki Studios!!! Chris and Jason captured every single special moment on the day of our wedding. We would look around and there he and Jason were in the strangest positions making sure to capture the best angle. EVERY picture that we have seen is just mind blowing!! Chris pays attention to every single detail making sure each click is better than the last. To me pictures are a forever reminder and as I look back on our wedding day I get tears in my eyes because they captured the most precious moments throughout the whole day! They did the best job and we are forever grateful to be able to of had you capture our day. Worth every single penny and more!!! Thanks Chris and Jason.

    We saw Chris' photos online and knew when we were getting married he would be the person to capture our big day. Working with Chris he is very easy going, fast, precise and detailed, not to mention the amazing photos he takes. We are so amazed by the sneak peak photos and are so excited to see the rest. Everyone is still commenting on how amazing our photographer was. Thank you Sawicki Studios!!!

    Chris and his assistant Jason were AMAZING! They by far exceeded our expectations for a wedding photographer. Always excited to talk about the wedding and the engagement session, and always on board with all of our ideas. It's not very often when the guests at the wedding compliment how awesome the photographer is, like our guests did. Thank you so much Chris and Sawicki Studios!
