Bear, DE
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hey! I offer a photo-journalistic style with a dynamic twist to provide high-quality images that couples will treasure long after they’ve said “I do.” Couples working with me can receive their final high-resolution images in the form of digital files, prints, and Albums. After photographing many weddings over the years, I know the importance of capturing your most important moments in an authentic and creative way. You deserve photos that are full of life, personality, and creativity.

Chris is the first vendor we booked and we are SO glad that we did! Chris treated us as a friend, not just a customer. We greatly appreciated his patience and openness both at our engagement shoot and our big day! We had periodic rain on our wedding day and he was able to adapt and get so many amazing shots and some phenomenal night time photos also! We are so glad we had Chris as our wedding photographer and highly recommend him!

I own a team of DJs that vary in style format and price. I sit down with every couple ( if possible) and customize a program that focus on you and your fiance's style. We show you many different styles so you can hand pick the PERFECT DJ for your special day.

I've had the pleasure of working with D & J DJ Service on several weddings, and I can confidently say they are a fantastic choice for any couple. (Don Timlin DJ'd my own wedding in 2021!) Their communication style is both funny and quick-witted, making them a delight to collaborate with. What really sets them apart is their genuine generosity - they go above and beyond to ensure the couple's vision is brought to life. The quality of their work is unparalleled; they are truly knowledgeable about music and sound, and they always listen and understand the couple's preferences. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a fun, professional, and reliable DJ.

Sarah was an invaluable resource to us both during our wedding weekend and throughout our planning process. She helped develop our aesthetic and style choices as well as speed up our planning process by recommending vendors within our price range (she helped us find our DJ, who was awesome). She was easy to communicate with if we had any questions and her calm, cool demeanor gave us confidence that we were in a good spot with our planning. Then on the wedding day, she executed everything on the money. We were consistently ahead of schedule throughout the day, and we both felt we could lean on her if we needed something. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!!

We could not have asked for a better experience at Bellevue. We knew Bellevue was perfect for us because the park held a lot of memories, and the mansion is so stunning and full of history. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and we loved that our cocktail hour could be inside and outside. The reception tent allows for you to see the park/greenery and horses, which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The food was great, and everyone loved the bartenders, and the fun surprise Barbie drink was so cute! We were so grateful for the cocktail hour food in the dressing room and the desserts ready at our sweetheart table. Also, the food wrapped up at the end of the night! Those were all very sweet touches! We truly appreciate all of the effort the team put into our day, it was so magical! Thank you!

  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Bear, DE

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris photographed our wedding in October of 2021 and did an INCREDIBLE job. We started with an engagement shoot that was a great way to practice for our wedding day. We learned all of the popular poses so that on our actual wedding day we didn’t feel awkward posing. He was incredibly organized and thorough throughout the entire process and the results were perfect. The entire day was planned out and he photographed every shot we wanted. We also had a beautiful wedding video and I had special requests for the video that he easily accommodated! The entire day ran smoothly thanks to his organization. He was extremely professional but we also had SO much fun. I felt like I was with a friend throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Chris for any event.

We are three friends who specialize in heartfelt, handcrafted wedding films and photography. We strive to make documentaries that will leave a profound impression every time they're viewed for generations. We are inspired by our couples who have told us of the lasting impact of their wedding films; the comfort they can provide through tough times, and the joy of this occasion and the memories of friends and family gathered together, captured forever.

If you are considering videography for your special day, look no further. Brad and Jenna created such a beautiful time capsule of our wedding day that it brings me back each time I watch it. They were so lovely to work with and true professionals. The final product was edited to perfection along with music that I was able to choose myself. We watch our video every anniversary and it is one of my most treasured possessions. Brad and Jenna have been to multiple weddings in my family now that it almost feels strange to attend one without seeing them. I will continue to sing their praises for anyone who is looking for videography. I would have them follow me through all of life's big moments if I could.

My passion and absolute love for photography started at a very young age. Photographing sports, bands and working for some of the premier modeling agencies throughout the world. After many years of experiencing all areas of photography, by almost accident, I stumbled into wedding photography. From that day 11 years ago, I'd fallen in love with ability to tell a story with a simple image. This is what first intrigued me about wedding photography and still drives me to put everything into my work.

Jason Mitchell was the perfect photographer for us. He captured our day exactly how I asked him to. I wanted more candid pictures but some formal as well and he delivered. He has an amazing personality and I enjoyed spending the whole day with him. He is reasonably priced and I didn't feel like he was trying to upcharge me just because it was a wedding. But most importantly, the pictures he took are GORGEOUS! And I got them back very quickly. I am looking forward to working with him in the future.

Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!

She had asked in advance about our expectations, and made sure to feature the types of pictures we wanted and to capture all the DIY details from our wedding which was extra important to me. She paid attention to our family dynamics, and everyone felt comfortable with her. I have so many photos to choose from, and now our house is filled with beautiful portraits that look just as crisp enlarged as they do on the computer screen.

Hockessin Memorial Hall was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, the staff was awesome - they were very responsive to all of our questions and requests, which took a lot of stress off us during the planning process. The venue itself was perfect, with lots of open space for dancing the night away with our guests. And the price was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the service and amenities. The team at Hockessin Memorial Hall went above and beyond to make our special day truly memorable. We're so grateful for their hard work and attentiveness, which allowed us to fully enjoy every moment.

On Sundays during football season, you can find us in our living room eating homemade wings and cheering on the Cowboys and yelling at the refs because let's face it, any call against Dallas is wrong. LOL, We have four wonderful children; one boy and three girls. If we aren't cheering my kids on in their sports or activities, Lauren is usually making homemade cupcakes or a new dish for my family and friends. We love meeting new friends we haven't met yet through photography and it's a blast hanging with those friends we have. At Shutter & Snap, we want to tell your story, while also being fun!

My husband and I had our 10 year vow renewal and hired steve and lauren. They were prompt and early. They spoke with us and devoted their time into taking pictures that meant the most to us. We are more in the moment memory pictures and they completely nailed it. Not only did they capture true memories they were also very patient with our two young kids who can be quite difficult at times and were able to get them to react for photos. Lauren and Steve were more than just photographers for us they were so easy to work with and talk too. I could have not hoped for a better outcome. We plan to use them for all our other photo needs as well and highly recommend them for anyone in the surrounding area

Great service from the venue team who took the pressure off us and allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our special day among family and friends. We had 160 guests and there was ample space for dinner, dancing and a DJ on the stage. The VIP balcony was the perfect spot for appetizers and cocktails right after the reception - with the space flowing very nicely from start to finish. And it photographs so well too!

I was familiar with Wired Up and DJ Brahno from my brother's wedding in 2021. He was incredible then and incredible for mine. He knows how to structure the music to get everyone involved and dancing. This is where we spent the largest chunk of our money (besides venue) because having a fun party was the most important to us. Everyone came up to us and said he was one of the best DJs they have seen at a wedding. Joe, the owner, is also great to work with in the planning process and super responsive.
