Amy C. Sent on 10/04/2020The Perfect Photographer for your Wedding Day
Chris has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I had met Chris prior to getting engaged due to a prior event four years ago and when I got engaged last year, he was the one vendor I absolutely had to rebook because he left an amazing impression the last time I had worked with him. He is personable, loves (and is great at) what he does and shows a genuine interest in your needs/wants for your wedding day. He has by far been my favorite vendor to work with, he makes sure to respond to all when we have e-mail correspondence so I wasn't constantly forwarding e-mails on to my finance like I had to do for other vendors. He was always prompt at responding to e-mails and was more than willing to work with us on any requests we had. We first met with Chris for our engagement shoot and had so much fun working with him at the park he had suggested. Given Covid-19, he was respectful about keeping distance/wearing a mask where necessary and we even had some fun with some mask shots. Chris certainly has an eye for the little details and would make sure I swiped away any hairs in my face or adjusted a necklace prior to taking photos, he even would help us with where to place our hands or how best to sit for a certain photo. The turnaround time for our engagement pictures was crazy fast and we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of our pictures. As the wedding day approached, Chris made sure to set up a call to plan out our day and ensure any picture requests that we might have were written down. We had a live document leading up to the wedding day of any pictures we may want along with a list of all formal shots needed. On the day of the wedding, Chris and his partner for the day, Jim, showed up early and got to work taking pictures and staging photos. He kept us on track and on time the entire day and came prepared with a list of all formal shots we had requested. They were also quick to pivot at any last-minute requests we had. Chris also made sure to get an amazing night shot right before they headed out for the night. Following the wedding Chris kept us updated with timing of photos and what to expect. Even with the wedding, he blew us away with how quickly he provided us the wedding photos and each and every one was absolutely stunning. For this particular event we did not choose to purchase a photo book as it wasn’t in our budget; however, for the last event I did have Chris complete a photo album and the process was super smooth – Chris would draft the initial copy of the book and then I would be able to add comments/notes about possible changes I would like to see. There would be a couple iterations of this process and the end result was absolutely beautiful. If it’s in your budget, I’d highly recommend having Chris creating a photo album for you as well. I can’t say enough good things about Chris – I would continue to hire him again and again if I could. If you’re looking for someone who is going to produce amazing memories of this wonderful time in your life and make sure you have a fun time while doing it, I would definitely recommend you hire Christopher Belli Photography. -

User1929648 Sent on 11/18/2014We had an awesome experience working with Christopher Belli Photography! From the very beginning Chris was professional, prompt in responding to emails, easy-going and flexible in accommodating our extremely busy schedules.
We used him for our engagement photos, we hoped for a cool mid-October, Fall outdoor session and ended up with a freezing cold day, I was so glad that Chris suggested that we go into our cars periodically to warm up, he was extremely patient with us! This was the first time we ever had professional photos taken but Chris made us feel completely at ease and comfortable and it turned out to be a lot of fun! We were so happy with the photos, we had him create our unique save-the-dates.
On our wedding day he was a calming presence, which is something that any bride will greatly appreciate! He was very helpful and organized and really listened to what we wanted. Somewhat last minute we decided to hire a videographer with an assistant. They had never before met Chris and his assistant, yet they worked together like they had been doing so for many years. Chris had all of our wedding photos available for us to view in a timely manner, as soon as we returned from our honeymoon. The photos were amazing, we are incredibly happy with them! His work is exceptional. He created a beautiful album for us which we were able to personalize exactly how we wanted and we absolutely love it and will cherish it for years to come.
Like we were told it would, the wedding day really did fly by. In a short time the food was eaten, the cake was devoured, the dress was worn and the flowers were wilting. The money we spent on it all was gone. But our photos froze the most important day of our lives forever in time. If there is one thing you should make the investment in for your wedding, it is the most talented wedding photographer out there – Christopher Belli Photography, the photos you will get with him are priceless. He truly deserves all the great reviews! -
User1239379 Sent on 07/12/2013This man is an amazing photographer. Easy to work with, inspired, and made everyone feel comfortable durring the long sets of taking pictures, right from the beginning in the hotel suite when all my bridesmaids and i were getting ready, running around like maniacs running late for everything and not acting very ladylike! We barely noticed him taking all these in the moment photos. I havent gotten my photos back yet, but I am positive they will be fabulous and alot to coose from! -

Jamie Sent on 08/15/2012I don't even know where to start. The first time I spoke to Chris was over the phone and I knew right then and there, I don't care how much I have to pay, this guy is going to be my photographer! I told my (now husband) that I wanted to set up a meeting with him. Anthony wasn't so sure about the price as it was more than we had originally planned for but when we met Chris in person it was clear that He would be our photographer(after all he was a Pilot at De La Salle High School like my husband!)
Chris is professional, yet personable. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met and he ENJOYS what he does. It is calming knowing that the person shooting your wedding wants to be there and is just as excited as you are! He is prompt to respond to emails. An example is, the day I filled out that form on his website he called me! within hours I spoke with him!
Our engagement session was our first photo session with him and it was SOOO much fun. Sometimes when you do a photo shoot it can seem awkward and you feel like your faking the emotion; with Chris instructing us it felt natural. Everyone we showed our pictures to said, Wow, if your engagement pictures are this good, I can only imagine what your wedding pictures will look like!
The day of the wedding was amazing; at the end of the night I didn't want him to leave! He started at my house, followed to the church and even joined us on the party bus!
There are not enough words in the English language for me to explain to you how Chris completed our wedding. Photographs speak 1000 words. If he is out of your budget, take money from some where else and put it for here, I promise you will not regret it... if you do call me and I'll pay for it ;)
We just recently saw our wedding photos and were blown away! My in-laws saw them and cried because how beautiful they were.
Thank you Chris, from both Anthony and I for the AMAZING job you did. You captured our day and we will have these memories for the rest of our lives.
