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!

My wife and I recently hired Chris to photograph our wedding. Choosing a photographer for our "once in a life time" event, we could only hope the pictures would be good since there is no second chance, or do over. After my wife and I reviewed the pictures that Chris had taken, we both believe they came out great, Chris did a fantastic job and we could not be happier!! We have to say, In addition to the posed photographs, Chris really does know how to capture "a moment", and believe he captured most, if not all of them! What we like most of all, is how the endless unique candid pictures seem to "tell the story" of what a great time we had at our wedding!!
