Kind Words From Maine Wedding Couples
Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about loving the photos — it’s about trusting someone to bring the right energy to your day, stay calm when things shift, and help you feel comfortable being yourselves.
These reviews come directly from couples who planned weddings and elopements across Maine — from traditional celebrations and barn weddings to coastal venues and intimate elopements — and trusted me to document their day naturally, honestly, and with care.
What Couples Most Often Tell Me
Across weddings of all sizes and styles, I hear the same things again and again:
We felt completely comfortable in front of the camera
Chris felt like a friend, not just a vendor
The day felt calm and seamless
Nothing felt forced or overly posed
The photos captured the feeling of the day
Those things matter just as much as the images themselves.

We’ll forever cherish the photos and moments Chris captured. Highly, highly recommend!”
