I cannot speak more highly of Chris. His photos are absolutely STUNNING! We did our engagement session with him in Saugatuck, MI and our wedding was at Twin Gables in Sturgis, MI. He got our engagement session back to us SO fast and we received our sneak peak wedding photos only 1 or 2 days after the wedding- I cannot wait to see the rest of them. We also had a 2nd shooter with him named Eric and he was great as well! Eric shot more photos of the groom and groomsmen and they all really liked him and his humor. You will NOT regret hiring Chris as your photographer.
