    Proposal Shoot with Chris

    I got a proposal shoot done by Chris and it was a pretty seamless process. I have never been to Washington D.C. before and he made the process stress free. He presented me with a contract which made me feel much more confident I wasn't going to be scammed and communicated with me prior to finalize all the details. He was at the location before I was, made it easy to find him, and took spectacular photos. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to have professional photos taken!

    Totally Worth It

    I hired Chris for a surprise engagement photo shoot and he was an excellent choice. He was quick to respond to emails and was helpful throughout the process of choosing a location. Once I decided on a location, he provided assistance on exactly where I should be standing before the proposal. On the day of, he is discrete and pretends to be a touristy photographer. Right before I popped the question, he makes sure that you make eye contact with him so that he knows when to start shooting. His ability to capture the exact moment of the proposal was my favorite part of the whole experience.

    The photographs could not have come out better. We have various shots of the proposal, us together after the proposal (at which point your significant other is aware that he is your photographer) and he captured some great staged and candid pictures.

    All in all, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to capture a surprise engagement.

    Perfect and Unique

    Chris was the perfect photographer for our wedding. We wanted something more unique than typical wedding photos, and more candids, and he delivered on both categories phenomenally. We are thrilled with the photos, they capture the day beautifully.

    Engagement Photo Shoot

    Chris was awesome to work with! I asked Chris to help photograph my proposal. He was super helpful from the start and had a bunch of good ideas for locations he had already shot proposals at, which was great for me since I needed all the help I could get. On the day of the proposal, he was very flexible with us as we had some last minute time changes. He also got back to us with the pictures really quickly, giving us some pictures immediately afterwards. Couldnt recommend him any more highly for engagements or weddings!

    Absolute Perfection!

    Working with Chris was an absolute joy! He was very responsive and thoughtful about the planning and execution of our surprise engagement. The photos were absolutely perfect with a great mix of some candids and posed ones. I felt totally at ease with him behind the camera and could focus on enjoying the moment with my fiancé!
    Wonderful photography direction and amazing results. I actually couldn't be happier. Don't hesitate, book with Chris!!

    Great photographer!

    Chris was great to work with. We had a lot of moving parts. Getting ready at the hotel, ceremony at a church and then a reception at another location. Chris and the second-shooter Devon were great with all the details and logistics. They captured fantastic candids of our guests, which was a top priority for us!

    Fantastic photographer!

    Chris photographed our wedding and engagement shoot in May - my husband and I could not be happier with the results. He perfectly captured family portraits, the ceremony, and perfect / accurate candid shots throughout the party. There are so many gems.
    He also helped us navigate the venue to ensure the photos would be perfect in the moment, and reviewed our planners schedule to make sure all the timings would work with photos
    Would absolutely recommend to all!

    DC Proposal

    I hired Chris to shoot my proposal and he did incredible. The pictures turned out perfect - something my fiancée had mentioned a dozen times, as well as our friends and family. The process with Chris from start to finish was simple and hassle-free. Communication was great, leading all the way up to the proposal. I highly recommend!

    Shot our Proposal

    Chris was super easy to work with- he helped me plan, shot the proposal from a bush AND delivered the photos before we even left the engagement party. Great value and super easy to work with!

    Surprise Proposal

    Chris was a fantastic photographer to work with and capture my big surprise proposal! He was very responsive and very flexible to handle any requests I had. We got the first pass of the "main" photos within a couple hours of the proposal and they turned out incredible. I can't be happier with how everything turned out and I highly recommend Chris to anyone for surprise proposals! He had countless ideas to capture multiple angles and back drops of our mini photo shoot and set us up for the perfect shot. All in all, very incredibly pleased with Chris.

    Tiny wedding

    Chris captured our small wedding amazingly! The wedding was just close family, but we still wanted amazing pictures. Chris really delivered! Our pictures are gorgeous, and I couldn’t be happier. He was very flexible and extremely responsive to emails. He made sure everything went smoothly the day of. The quality of his work was great and extremely reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married in the DC area.

    Wedding Pics-Redo…wish we hired Chris the first time

    My husband and I recently lost a ton of weight and were able to fit back into our wedding tuxedos. We hired Chris to capture some fun moments of us at our original wedding venue and some other spots around town.

    Once at our wedding venue (DAR), Chris captured us at our best. He focused on all the best angles, lighting, background, etc. Chris made us look better than we did on our wedding day! Man, we wish we hired him almost 6 years ago!

    We even brought our dog along for the photo shoot and Chris made sure to capture our pup in just the right light so he could shine too!

    We jumped around town to other locations and Chris was able to adapt to the location, figure out what would work for the picture. He was quick and he was exact. Chris was professional and able to provide suggestions on poses, backdrops etc.

    Chris was responsive whether it be email, phone or text. A breeze to work with! He teased us with a couple of photos before sending us the entire finished portfolio of pictures from our photo session and we knew then we’d have great photos. Again, I wish we had met Chris years ago because our wedding photos would have been 100x times better.

    Exceptional Service and Beautiful Photos

    My fiancé and I found Chris Ferenzi photography after a thorough web search. We liked his style and I was immediately drawn to his work. When I look at his photos I see a fresh perspective; crisp, clean pictures that look real and in the moment.

    I emailed Chris’ about his service and availability on a late Friday afternoon and he responded in less than two hours! Prior to booking our wedding date, Chris and I spoke over the phone for about an hour. I gave him our background “story,” what we were looking for in a photographer, and of course what type of final products we wanted. I was undecided about how many actual pictures to purchase and if we should order a book, etc., and Chris help walked me through the options and let me make decisions along the way. I greatly appreciated his flexibility and patience.

    We truly enjoyed working with Chris and we love the final product. His website is simple to use, even my 85 year old mother-in-law easily navigated her way through it to order the photos she wanted. Chris and I are now working on an album and I’ll be ordering a few wall hangings from his site too.

    Proposal Shoot

    I was surprised by my fiancee with a proposal shoot immediately after he proposed. Chris was easy and friendly to work with and we got out photos almost immediately and they were amazing.

    Small DC Wedding

    We originally planned a small 20 person wedding that happened to coincide with the beginning of the pandemic, so we needed to modify our plans more than once. Chris was really flexible and made a somewhat stressful time to plan a wedding a lot easier. The pictures turned out soooo beautifully and perfectly captured some really special moments. We would definitely recommend hiring Chris!

    Stress-Free

    Working with Chris was very easy and the shots turned out perfectly. I had a proposal planned at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and wanted to surprise my (now) fiancé. Chris helped me figure out where to be to get the best shot while planning the proposal. He also had a series of photos planned after my family popped out of the bushes! Would definitely hire again for, but hopefully not for a proposal lol.

    Chris worked with my fiancé to plan and capture our perfect moment and still managed to keep it a surprise! We are not from the DC area, however, he knew exactly what to do to get the best shot of our engagement, and made the process easy and stress free for my fiancé. I am so thankful for the work he did, and will cherish these photos and memories forever. Not only did he get the shots, he also was very polite, and respectful of the special moment we were sharing. I had no idea there was even a professional photographer there until my fiancé introduced us after the fact, and I can promise from being in that moment, that his ability to work discretely is something any bride to be will be thankful for. Chris did his job perfectly without taking away from the moment we were sharing.

    Surprise Proposal

    Chris worked with me diligently for more than a month before my big day. He always replied back promptly and answered every single question I had, never let me feeling like I was asking too much! He even suggested ideas and places that I had not thought about too. All the planning went perfectly and the big day was a success. The pictures came out amazing and everyone was pleased. Chris is a true professional and I highly recommend his photography to everyone!

    Book Chris Now

    Chris is an excellent wedding photographer! He met with us well before the wedding to go over planned shots and offered a variety of packages so that we could pick one that best fit our needs. Chris was also readily available to answer any questions we had leading up to the wedding and responsive during the wedding day itself. During the ceremony and reception, Chris managed to capture every important moment of the day/night on camera, but somehow I don’t remember seeing him anywhere other than when we took planned shots. He has maxed out his photographer ninja skills. His photographic talents themselves are equally impressive. He provided us with hundreds of very high quality photos that truly represented the beauty and fun of our wedding day. The photos were fully edited and made available to us via an easy to use online gallery within 6 weeks (as promised). Given the quality of his work, his prices were very reasonable. In addition to all of this, he’s a pleasure to work with, has a great sense of humor, and even threw in a very thoughtful free gift for us. I can’t recommend Chris more highly. If you need a wedding photographer, book him now. Psst...he does events too! Randomly ran into him doing the photography at a national psychologist conference that I attended in DC. This guy is a legit talent.

    Chris Ferenzi Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Jon! So glad you were happy with the photos. Also, thanks for posting those two photos. You chose one of my favorites (the one of the kids playing in the fountain RIGHT before they were yelled at by the venue staff...)

    Great memories with chris

    Wow what a great memory capturer! Chris does more than take pictures, he really captures the moment and the emotions packed all in pictures! Not only did he capture the wedding, he also set a time and did our engagement photos as well, which turned out specatuar. Chris is great navigating the ceremony and not being in the way while making sure he's there for every special moment!! If you aren't using Chris you're missing out! He works great with Julie Park at Birch Event & Design, we would say we would use him again, but hopefully under different event conditions lol!

    Chris Ferenzi is Amazing!

    We hired Chris for our wedding in Washington, DC. From the start, he was great to work with, professional, and created amazing pictures. Chris told our story, from engagement to wedding day and we could not be happier for all of his amazing work.

    Chris was nice, easy-going, and organized. He was thoughtful on ways to capture our love and our event with his experience. People at the wedding said that they barely even noticed him there - in a good way!

    We highly recommend Chris and will certainly suggest his services to everyone we know.

    Above and beyond expectation

    My partner and I recently got married in DC and were having a hard time finding a photographer because we are originally from New York. We did our research and found Chris Ferenzi and we were beyond happy with the end result.
    The price was reasonable and the end result was breathtaking. I could not love our photos any more than I do. He also shot different angles and different distances which gave us such an array of different photos to display beautifully. Our photos are literally breathtaking and exceeded our expectations.

    Thank you so much Chris!

    With love,
    Christine and Vanessa
