Introduction: GCPhotographers capturing the moments that matter to you the most. Hey, I’m Chris! Nice to meet you. I am the head photographer at GC Photographers and we specialize in bringing your dreams to life in a photojournalistic way that tells a story that captures the moments, and leaves a lasting impression. GCPhotographers is an insured business based in New York City, Maryland, and Northern Virginia but also serves the borders far beyond. GCPhotographers specializes in lifestyle photojournalism, portraiture, and graphics design. Contact me today for more information about my services. Payment plans available. The reason I gravitate towards wedding photography is that I love to support others. I enjoy celebrating others joy and what better way to be in a support role than to help someone celebrate one of the most special moments of their lives. I want to see you all have a fantastic time, and I want you to look back at your pictures and feel the day. And that’s me. Let’s connect and share this special moment of your life together! Please be aware that I may charge a travel fee if their area is not that really favorable to me compensation wise. For example: If I covering a 4 hour wedding within 40 miles travel of 20902, the cost will increase based on travel outside of this area but this is negotiable so let's talk. I am looking forward to meeting you 🙂. Side Note: If you would like to shoot in Washington DC around the Parks and Historical Areas, please make note that i is not free to shoot in these areas. The minimum location per day is $50 (1-10 persons) with $90 application fee that needs at least two weeks to be approved. For all government related events, I understand the secrecy when it comes to having footage not go public. I have an active secret clearance and we can negotiate everything in our discussion and contract.

Chris was so great to work with! We met multiple times in advance of our big day to go over plans and they went together flawlessly that evening. Even though sunlight was much less than expected, he was prepared with substantial lighting to make it all come together. The photos were spectacular and he even sent an awesome Engraved USB card for us! Thanks, Chris we'll always looks back how fun it was to work with you 😀

Chris is a wonderful photographer and easy to get along with. Extremely responsive and great follow through. He is all about pleasing his client and his demeanor is perfect for his profession. He is a true professional through and through, and also a wonderful guy. He took so many photos it is hard to chose which ones we like best. We highly recommend Chris for any photo session or event you need a highly skilled photographer for.

We could not be more impressed by Chris. From the day that we contracted CGPhotographers services for our beach wedding (Cape Lookout), he made us confident that we made the right decision. When we saw the photos, we were stunned. Customer service gets 100 stars. Responsiveness gets 100 stars. Creativity gets 100 stars. Early for all meetings and day of event. I would recommend GCPhotographers to anyone looking for a quality photographer.

We had a fantastic experience working with Chris at my daughter's October 1st wedding. There was excellent communication while planning, and he arrived the day of an hour and a half early to scout the venue. He was professional, patient and so positive! He was very accommodating and had great ideas. Based on the previews we have seen, we are so excited to receive the final product! Can't recommend Chris enough!

Chris was simply awesome!! He was courteous, responsive, kind, amenable, flexible and willing to assist whenever needed even tasks that had nothing to do with photography. It was a pleasure to have you as a part of our special occasion. We are very appreciative!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Everything is negotiable. Take a look at the package prices on my site verses here. Packages can be tailored. Please be aware that I may charge a travel fee if their area is not that really favorable to me compensation wise. For example: If I covering a 4 hour wedding within 30 miles travel of 20902, the cost will increase based on travel outside of this area but this is negotiable so let's talk. I am looking forward to meeting you 🙂.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Outline their needs while making sure they are confident in knowing that they will receive the best service. I love what I do and you will be another to see it as I celebrate with you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to school many years ago for photography to make sure that I was on the right track with what I was enjoying. I mainly went to learn about photography terminology. Besides that, I have lots of magazines subscriptions and study many techniques from all over the world. Outside of this, I am working on completing my MBA.
