So many brides tell me the same fear: missing their own wedding chasing the "perfect shot." You won't, you'll be dancing and laughing and actually in it, while I capture it all.
We'll talk before your wedding so I actually understand your people, your day, what matters to you. And when it's time to shoot, I'm not chasing posed smiles, I'm watching for the moment your mom loses it during the first look, or your groomsmen actually crack up, not fake-laugh for the camera. That's the stuff worth keeping.
Be honest: when's the last time you actually looked at photos from your last vacation? They're probably sitting in your camera roll right now, buried under a thousand screenshots. I don't want that for your wedding photos. That's why every collection includes something you'll actually see, an album on your coffee table, art on your wall, not a gallery link you forget you saved.
Anyone can hand you a USB drive. That's not what I do. Every wedding is built toward something you'll actually hold, an album, wall art, something with weight, not just a folder buried on a hard drive. That's the difference between having photos and living with them.
Turning hundreds of photos into an album that actually tells your story isn't something you should have to figure out alone. That's why every collection includes a dedicated design specialist, someone whose only job is helping you choose the images that matter most and designing an album and wall art around your day. Most studios don't offer this. I think it matters too much to skip.
Don't worry, you're still getting digital copies, you can share them, post them, send them to your grandma. But your phone gallery isn't where memories belong long-term. That's why your design specialist works with you early, so the real keepsakes, the album, the wall art, are what you'll actually reach for years from now.
Your collection includes 8 hours of coverage, a second photographer, an assistant, an engagement session, and your 8x8 album with design support. Most couples invest $8,900-$11,900 total once art is complete. Videography add-ons available.
"...And when we first saw our wedding photos and video, there was not a dry eye in the room. There were so many beautiful shots with such great variety, and his attention to detail captured so many special, candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening."
Everything we imagined in a photographer...
Chris did such an amazing job shooting our wedding and engagement photos! He is a true professional and his work speaks for itself. He is easy to work with and a great communicator. His relaxed, positive energy helps you relax and get the best photos! around
The best around!
Chris went above and beyond — even editing some photos during the reception and coordinating with our DJ to display them on his screen. Seeing those moments from earlier in the day pop up in real time was absolutely magical and had everyone cheering on the dance floor.
We are beyond grateful for Chris...
It was freezing cold and pouring rain, and he made our photos outside look nothing less than magical. Thank you so much, Chris!!!
I would recommend Chris Stiles to anybody
