Christopher was a great photographer for our wedding reception! He was creative with our photoshoot. We felt so part of Newark due to Chris thinking of clever ways for us to take pics at Branch Brook Park. The photos came out amazing, and he worked with us although we ran late. He has been doing this a while and knows how to pose people really well. We will definitely work with him again for future events. Thank you, Christopher!

He exceeded my expectations I was not expecting the beautiful photos I received. I work in Television and Chris’ work is photojournalism every picture tells a story just amazing!
