When searching for photographers, we started based on friend's recommendations. One of those photographers eventually referred us to Chris, and we're so happy they did. We met Chris for our initial meeting back in July. He discussed his services, showed us his portfolio, and gave us info on why he does his services the way he does. Having been through the wedding photography process himself, he wants to make it easy for a couple, and not force them to make decisions about packages, albums, etc... up front. This is just what we needed. We decided to do an engagement session in September. Chris met us at the Sculpture Park in Downtown Seattle and we had so much fun. It was great to get to work with him before the wedding so we knew what to expect when the big day came. As our wedding date approached, Chris reached out to us to discuss specific photo locations at our venue, the timeline, and provided many valuable suggestions. He had already checked out our venue, so he had great insight on the lighting and the best places to take photos. When the wedding day finally came, Chris & team were on time and professional. They instantly made you feel comfortable and at ease, and began taking our getting ready photos. We were planning on outdoor rain photos with umbrellas but we totally lucked out and the rain stopped and we had dry outdoor photos. Chris & team were there to take photos throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception. We received our wedding photos very quickly (we'd heard stories of having to wait months) - and they were wonderful! We loved being able to choose which ones were our favorites instead of having a photographer do that (some photographers do that... crazy right?!?!) We were instantly able to start downloading & sharing pictures -- just in time to make some Christmas gifts. Thank you Chris for your awesome work - I'm already telling everyone who needs a photographer about you! read more

Christopher Gendron Photography - At McMenamins Anderson School - Bothell, WA - Photographers Near Me

Chris was amazing. We knew the quality of his work from our engagement photos, so I was THRILLED to see our wedding photos. The week of the wedding, he offered to bring an assistant (the joys of an off-season wedding!). The assistant took great photos of the details of the wedding (shoes, dress, etc), while Chris got the posed and action shots. He blended into the crowd, and my guests raved about how he got great shots. He was everywhere! He gives you rights to his digital negatives, you get them on CDs, and he can put together a flexible package. His winter rates were fantastic. read more

My husband and I are SO glad we went with Christopher Gendron Photography! Chris was clearly the best choice in terms of price, talent, professionalism, and personality. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our wedding photographer! With Christopher Gendron Photography: - You get all rights to all of the pictures he takes - You get a look book of all the pictures he takes - The price is AMAZING for what you get (no limit to pictures he takes, all rights, no limit to time, no limit to locations) - The quality of his pictures is top-notch! - He's professional, and really easy to work with! From the first meeting, we knew that he was the perfect choice. We got along great, and he was always quick to answer any questions. He scouted out our location to find the places we wanted to take pictures. He's great at suggesting poses based on your personality. He really goes the extra mile to make sure he captures you in your natural form. I was a hot mess and didn't feel as prepared as I should have, but Chris took over and took AMAZING pictures! He showed us some of the shots he took when he was taking them the day of the wedding! He's so talented! He uses natural light to his advantage and goes the distance to get great pictures! He showed up earlier than I asked and was there to take pictures to the end. He was like a ninja! You hardly realize he's there taking pictures! Best of all, I have rights to ALL of the pictures he took! I highly recommend Christopher Gendron Photography. You won't be disappointed by the quality of work or value of what you get. I can't imaging any other photography company taking my wedding pictures. read more

I'm generally not one to leave reviews online, but I wanted to express how happy we were to have Chris as our photographer. He was incredibly professional, flexible, understanding, and had a FANTASTIC sense of humor. We are so grateful for all of his help and for helping to keep us sane during a hectic wedding day! Chris fixed my boutonniere, put in my wife's veil, worked with our families and friends to keep everyone comfortable throughout the day, and was just so supportive throughout the whole wedding. Having him be a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made. read more

Chris is so gifted and a true professional. We loved his online portfolio, and as soon as we met up with him, we knew we'd found the photographer for our wedding. His responses were prompt and clear, his prices are incredible for the value you get (all day, assistant photog, unlimited locations, look book, rights to all photos), and best of all, the final result was simply stunning. It was everything we wanted. Chris skillfully guided us to beautiful locations and poses so that we would have the perfect wedding memories together. I want to share another personal story that makes Chris so special. In the run up to the wedding, my dad was becoming increasingly ill with cancer. The date was already locked in on the earliest day we could manage it, and we weren't sure if he would make it. My family came up with the idea of doing a portrait session with just me, my fiance, and my parents. I explained the idea to Chris and he not only drove from Seattle to Milton to make it happen for us, he captured 200+ beautiful shots and turned them around for us in just a couple days -- and he only asked for gas money. This meant so much to me because we were able to get photos of dad "walking me down the aisle" at our special photo shoot. On the day of the wedding, dad escorted me down the aisle in a wheelchair, and we're so happy to have both of these gorgeous sets. Chris was on top of every special moment throughout the day, providing us even more beautifully captured photos to cherish. I can never thank him enough for these priceless gifts. Chris has my strongest recommendations in every regard. read more

Chris was beyond awesome!! He did our engagement pictures plus wedding!! He was easy going, creative, flexible, friendly etc etc. he captured our wedding from beginning to end and our pictures were amazing!! Everyone loved our pictures. We got a lot of compliments! Thank you chris for an awesome job!! read more

My cousin referred us to Chris when we were searching for a wedding photographer. After our first meeting, we didn't even want to meet with anyone else, even though he advised that we should look around before making a decision. Chris is down-to-earth, friendly, professional, and so talented. His communication was thorough and he was always timely in his response. He spent almost 2 hours with us at Discovery Park making the hike down to the beach, and letting us make the decision of when we were ready to be done with the engagement session. He made us feel comfortable when we were incredibly awkward getting used to taking photos like that. On the day of the wedding, Chris arrived at 9:45am at my parents' house for our Chinese Tea Ceremony, making a good amount of conversation as we were getting ready and shooting photos along the way. He also made the best use of time as we arrived at the ceremony/reception venue, getting photos of the dress and rings while we were getting things set up. He and his second photographer were great throughout the night all the way until 11pm closing time, and we were so happy with the outcome of our photos! We were also impressed by such quick turnaround time in getting both our engagement and wedding photos back. We would highly recommend hiring Chris for your photography needs! read more

We are so happy we went with Chris and his assistant Hannah for our wedding day! Photography was in the top 3 of important things for us for our wedding day on June 4th and Chris and Hannah went above our expectations. He was funny, personable yet professional and extremely knowledgable in his craft. We weren't able to do an engagement shoot which was included in the package due to us living in Chicago. I admit this made me nervous but after 5 minutes with him it didn't even matter. He is amazing at what he does and the proof is in his photographs. His artistry speaks for itself through his photos and we will definitely use him and his team again in the future for any family events! read more

We are so incredibly happy with the service Chris provided us! From the minute we met with him, a year before our wedding, he was thorough, friendly, and made us feel like we would be taken care of. 1. As an anxious and often restless bride, I was very relieved to find that he was very quick to respond to any questions I had through email. 2. His pricing is very affordable for the service you are getting. ~1.5 hours for an engagement shoot, unlimited time on the day of the wedding, and rights to all the photos. 3. On the day of the wedding, Chris and the second shooter helped us coordinate the first look and really went above and beyond by transporting my husband and I to the ceremony. He helped us ahead of time by estimating how much time we'd need for the first look/family photos and our pre-wedding activities went smoothly because of that! 4. The photos are absolutely wonderful! He caught so many moments that I didn't know about and all the things that I wanted to remember are perfectly captured. We had some rain during the ceremony and he somehow made the photos look amazing with the natural light. As other customers have mentioned, we have the rights to all the photos. I cannot emphasize how important that is to my husband and I! We have over 2,000 from the day and can easily download them from the link provided to us. This has made it so easy to work with our parents to put together wedding albums. I highly recommend Chris as your wedding photographer! You definitely won't regret it. :) read more

What can we say about Chris other than he is incredible at what he does. I met with a few photographers leading up to the wedding, but he was the only one who came completely prepared and seemed truly excited about his work. We did an engagement shoot with him and it was a really great way to get to know him better, and his style - he is VERY good at making the two of us, who can be awkward in front of a camera, very at ease and got some incredible shots. Throughout the lead-up to the wedding day, he was probably the most responsive vendor we had, always patient with questions that came up or changes in schedules. But, the most important part, the day of - he and his assistant were truly amazing. They were everywhere throughout the entire day, but you would hardly even know they were there! They captured every moment from start to finish in such a beautiful way, and we couldn't be more grateful. These are pictures we are going to look back on for the rest of our lives, and they perfectly capture our day. Not only was he great on day-of, but he turned around pictures SO quickly! My husband and I have said many times that we think the best decision we made while wedding planning was choosing Chris, so we couldn't recommend him highly enough. read more

Chris was perfect for our wedding. He was very practical and very honest with us. He was willing to do anything that we wanted, but also gave insight into what would make the pictures better. He did a couple things that I absolutely loved: 1. He started when we wanted and he didn't stop until we said he could go home. There was no extra charge for a long day. 2. He gave us a list to fill out of what pics we wanted and he ensured that he would get those for us. 3. We got ALL of our pics. We got all the rights, and he gave us everything. Even if he thought the picture was bad, he gave it to us to decide if we wanted to make our own prints. 4. He has fun while he is there. He will interact with guest and help the feel at ease with having a big lens in their face.\ Very professional and reasonably priced. read more

Best decision we made during our wedding planning was hiring Chris. He is an amazing photographer, very talented, professional, creative, flexible, and fun to work with. His pricing was very reasonable. Wedding pictures turned out amazing!!!! We got many compliments on them. Chris has some great packages for wedding photography and has great ideas for locations and poses for your pictures. VERY glad we hired him! :) read more

The most difficult task for us was to find a good photographer. We were so lucky to have Chris. He was very professional and experienced. He responded to our emails quickly and worked with us to plan out the day. He was also very helpful with the day timeline. He provided invaluable advice as to timing, explaining how much time was needed for different types of pictures. I'm happy that I listened to his advice because it really made the whole day smooth and just perfect. On the day of the wedding he came to the venue early and found the best place for our first look and family photos. He was able to capture our wedding day and highlight all the right moments. We got our photos very fast and couldn't be happier with them, they were phenomenal! He and his assistant were able to capture such amazing footage that I did not know was possible. Chris has made our memorable day last forever with the images he captured!! read more

Christopher Gendron was recently the photographer for a wedding that I was in. He did an absolutely amazing job. I was so impressed with how he was able to capture every moment, but never once noticed he was really there. He was very easy to work with and took some amazing shots. He is truly a nice, genuine guy. I believe he is the next "it" guy for photography. Weddings are never an easy task to work and he made it look like a piece of cake. Great work Christopher! read more

Chris is just awesome! We couldn't be happier with our choice for our wedding photographer! Choosing a photographer is an important decision...the day goes by so quickly and the pictures are THE way to help you relive the moment. From the first time we met with Chris we knew he'd be the one :). He was thorough, professional, and his pictures looked fantastic. We really liked that unlike most other photographers, Chris didn't a set amount of hours and then charged extra, or kept the rights of the pictures for himself; it was all included! He photographed the whole day; and it's just so awesome to see pictures of how the day progressed. His pictures are AMAZING! We look at the pictures and they just look unreal! He is incredibly talented and has an amazing eye for awesome locations/spots for the pictures. He does what needs to be done to get the right picture...he had to crawl on the floor for a couple of pictures and didn't mind. I just still can't believe how amazing our wedding pictures turned out!! He is also really awesome to work with. He is easy to talk to, and he understands what you need. He is quick to get back to you and very professional. During our engagement session he was carrying my purse around. During our wedding, he was adjusting my dress the whole day, and also the guys' suits. He really is a fantastic vendor overall. With all the wedding stress, it is just awesome to be able to rely on someone completely to do the job well, and we had full confidence on Chris, and of course we got exactly what we expected from him. We can't recommend him enough! Everything you get for the price you pay is really amazing value! read more

Don't hesitate to hire Chris as your wedding photographer. Easy to work with, follows the style you want and ideas you have. Takes pictures of things/events you didn't even know you wanted. Works hard through the entire day, leaving with well over a thousand photos. Although he takes great classic 'posed' shots, his unique skill is in obtaining the beautiful 'natural' shots of the bride/groom, family, and friends you never noticed him taking. His website gives a great idea of his pictures: http://www.gendronphoto.com/ read more

Chris was everything we could ask for in a wedding photographer. While I wasn't comfortable having my picture taken at first, I showed up to our engagement photos and by the end I was posing and laughing the whole time. He has a way to make you feel comfortable, but still feel like you and your lover are the only two in the room. Some people asked me if it was weird having him at the house when all of the girls werel getting ready for the wedding but I honestly forgot he was there! He has a way of staying in the shadows and an amazing eye to catch the most artistic shots you didn't even know he was there. He was also very patient with the family photos and was great with the shy 2 year olds who refused to cooperate :) He is very flexible in pricing packages and isn't out to nickle and dime you. He actually got married himself during our engagement and he truly understands working with brides and the importance of a budget. Hire Chris! You won't be disappointed and will have the most artistic, beautiful photos (for free with no strings attached!) to capture your special day. read more

Chris is amazing!!! We could not be happier with our wedding photos!! He did an incredible job capturing the natural beauty of the day, the love and emotions (I think he caught every one of my sister's tears), and then the fun on the dance floor. We opted not to get video, but we can relive the magic of the day over and over with his artful photos that captured the spirit of the event at every moment of the day. One of the things we loved about Chris was how laid back and relatable he was, while also being extremely professional. He showed up for our first meeting early and extremely prepared. He was very honest with his opinions on different options, even when it didn't serve his profits. He was very straightforward about the pros and cons of my desire to not have a "first look" before the wedding, particularly with respect to the sacrifice we would need to make to quantity of pictures together or time at the cocktail hour. In the end, we did decide to forego the first look so that we could have it as I walked down the aisle. But, we also wanted to make sure that we didn't spend too much time with pictures after the ceremony so that we missed out on spending time with our guests at the cocktail hour. Chris put up with my micro-managed schedule and helped us make it all work. He was amazingly efficient while also ensuring that we had some special moments together before joining the group. We were able to get a ton of beautiful pictures of the two of us in a few different spots along with the pictures we wanted with our families. And we stayed right on schedule and finished the posed pictures in time to enjoy the cocktail hour. The candid photos are just as beautiful as the posed ones, and the biggest problem we have is that there really aren't very many bad pictures-- it makes it hard to narrow down! ;-) We've got lots of beautiful smiles and laughs, tears of joy, and crazy moves on the dance floor. And he seems to take extra care of the bride. At one point, when either the drinks or my very high shoes got in my way and I fell down on the dance floor, I looked up at Chris as I was falling and noticed him immediately and deliberately turn around and act as if it never happened. No pictures...yay! Chris's price is extremely reasonable. You get way more than you pay for, especially considering that his fee has no time limit. It was important to us that we were able to capture both getting ready and the dance party to the end, and it was nice to be able to do that without having to pay extra. To top it all off, he was also SUPER fast sending us our pictures. We had them in our inbox before we returned from our honeymoon! read more

Chris and an assistant did the pictures for our wedding at the Canal June 7th, as well did a engagement photo shoot over Christmas. Planning our wedding from three timezones away, we first met Chris over skype. He was very professional and personable and spent a lot of effort trying to get to know us. We chose Chris because 1) He was reasonably priced 2) You have him for as long as you want day of 3) You get all the pictures 4) He is a former engineer, which my husband is as well so they really clicked. Chris' work has a lot of artistry. He is very good as working with people and also very good at getting candid. He is a bit of a ninja. The night before, we sent him a list of pictures we were looking for, which he not only read and remembered to bring but also nearly memorized them, being very aware of what we were looking for even at short notice. It seemed like he really cared about getting the wedding shots we were looking for. He was a pleasure to work with and we have recommended to our friends and relatives. read more

We worked with Chris on a family photo session at a nearby park. From the start Chris was easy to work with and super flexible on dates as spring time rain required us to reschedule one or two times. He immediately made us and our nine month old feel comfortable, making faces and noises to get the baby to smile for some photos. He had great ideas for the best setting / light in each photo and helped us capture some really fun images. Chris's simply outlined photo packages and no requirement to get any photos printed through him made him an easy choice. Highly recommend. read more

Our relationship with Chris started out well enough, but he turned out to be one of the most unprofessional, and frankly rude, people I have ever worked with. We got engagement photos done with Chris, and we shared with him from the beginning that we were concerned about finding angles and poses that were flattering for our plus-size bodies. He was very attentive during the engagement shoot and gave lots of feedback about how to stand, etc. We were very happy with the shots. When the wedding came around, all of that went out the window. He gave us barely any feedback throughout the day and hardly said anything to us. He even had the audacity to leave our venue 90 minutes early without telling us! When my husband emailed him and politely said we were disappointed in the photos and felt that they were unflattering (especially compared to our engagement shots), Chris responded by saying none of it was his fault. He blamed my husband's "cheaply tailored rental suit" (it was neither cheap nor rented), my unflattering bridal dress and hair, the bad lighting at the venue, my lack of organization and planning, and the stress of the day. He told us we should have consulted him about what to wear ahead of time so we would have looked better in the photos. He finished by telling us that I was never going to like my wedding photos because I have low self-esteem and I was "projecting my poor body image" onto him, and that I couldn't blame him for my problems. I was absolutely floored by this response. It is unbelievable that a "professional" can take so little responsibility for their own work. He was unsympathetic and flat out rude. He made so many judgments and baseless assumptions about my husband and I, I just cannot believe that he would treat a customer this way. It was disgusting. read more

Chris is incredible! He is a fun guy with great positive energy! From our first meeting, Chris' personality put us at ease. His quiet confidence continually settled our nerves throughout the entire wedding process. He was unobtrusive but happy to give advice and direction when asked. I love how he was able to really capture our personalities perfectly! He was like a ninja, stealthfully moving around to capture every special moment. He took a lot of pictures and every picture is my favorite! His talent is cannot be beat. We highly recommend choosing Chris as your wedding photographer! You will not be disappointed! read more

We are so fortunate that Chris was the photographer for our daughter's wedding. Not only did he come ALL day, he brought a fabulous assistant, captured the bride and groom's "first look" at a location a mile from our venue, took amazingly beautiful, creative, fun photos, was patient with the Mother of the Bride (yes, me), found perfect locations for photos (it drizzled...) AND...gave us ALL of the photos in fewer than two weeks after the wedding. Chris is professional, easy going, and flexible. He is also unobtrusive and stealthy. He wasn't distracting during the ceremony and reception and, in looking at the photos, I realized I often wasn't even aware of where he was. We highly recommend Christopher Gendron Photography! read more

Chris is a amazing as it gets. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Chris to be our wedding photographer. There isn't a single negative thing I can say. Everyone at the wedding LOVED him as well as his assistant. He is a true artist, a professional, and a great guy. read more

My wife and I book Chris for photos celebrating our 5 year anniversary and announcing our first child. We heard about Chris through several close friends who had their weddings and engagement photos done with Chris. The entire experience working with Chris was fantastic. He was easy to get in touch with and very responsive and timely. During the photo shoot he put both my wife and I at ease. He has a real eye for fun and artistic shots. Throughout the photo shoot he kept showing us previews of some of the pictures and they were all excellent. After the shoot was done Chris gave us all the pictures plus a few that he modified on a DVD. Despite it being the middle of wedding season he had the photos to us within a week. It was really remarkable service, that we appreciated greatly. We have nothing but good things to say about Chris and our experience working with him and highly recommending getting your photos done with him read more

Chris was the perfect photographer for us! We couldn't be more pleased with the final product. After searching for photographers we finally found Chris and we wouldn't have it any other way. Not only was he easy to work with he was flexible during the time of the year when we were trying to do engagement photos but kept running into weather issues. Chris has a true talent for capturing all the beautiful features of the wedding day, guests and couple. He also has a wealth of knowledge and is able to provide coaching and suggestions when planning out the wedding day lineup of photo events. Chris was even patient with our dogs who were in both our engagement photos and wedding. The only trouble you will have is in selecting favorite photos because they're all amazing! :) Thank you Chris! read more

I stumbled upon Chris' website in my seemingly endless search for an affordable, yet modern and creative photographer. Chris was very easy to work with...flexible and accommodating. We chose his "Basic II" package which was essentially 2 photographers (Chris and his assistant) for unlimited time on the day of the wedding and all the digital images for us to keep. We met with Chris a couple weeks before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page regarding the schedule and which specific pictures we wanted. Chris and his assistant were at our venue to start taking "getting ready" pictures at about 10am (our ceremony didn't start until 3pm). They stayed until after our sparkler exit at about 10pm. They were extremely professional throughout the day and kept the formal pictures moving in a respectful way. In the weeks following the wedding I heard from guests several times that every time they thought "oh this is a great shot, I should go find the photographer" they would see Chris or his assistant was already there shooting. Sure enough, when we received our photos (uploaded to a website for us to share with our guests, less than a month after the wedding) they told the story of the day from beginning to end with every important moment captured and a perfect mix of posed, candid, and artistic images (over 2000 pictures!). The proof book and CDs were mailed to us a few weeks later. They came beautifully wrapped and we were pleasantly surprised to see one of our favorite photos of us on the front and back of the book and on the CDs. Many of the images were provided with a variety of effects (black and white, textured, etc.). We are so incredibly happy with our photos and our decision to go with Chris! read more

Chris Gendron is everything we wanted in a wedding photographer. Easy-going, relaxed, and professional. He was flexible in working with my husband and I to meet our wedding needs, and spent 8 hours with us without losing his smile. From final makeup touches to beautiful outdoor shots to candids that captured everyone's emotions just right, we were so happy with the results. Best of all? Every single one of the 1200+ digital shots he snapped are ours forever. read more

It was very difficult when it came time to choosing a wedding photographer! There are so many options out there and it was very overwhelming. However, there are many many reasons why I am SO happy that my husband and I went with Christopher Gendron Photography and I will recommend everyone to him! One thing that was very important for us is that we wanted the rights to our wedding pictures. Not a lot of photographers do this! Some will do it with an extra charge or some just won't do that. With Chris, we got the rights to ALL of our pictures and he gave us EVERY single picture he took on a DVD. We didn't have to pick and choose, we got them all! He will also start at whatever hour you want him to on your wedding day until you tell him to stop! He has another assistant that comes with him on the wedding day as well. This was amazing considering I talked to many that would charge over a certain number of hours. On top of all this, he also included an engagement session that also didn't have a time limit! Basically for an AMAZING price, we were able to get ALL the pictures he took along with complete ownership rights for as long as we wanted him to take pictures for our wedding day and engagement session. It doesn't get better than that! He also sent us a gorgeous proof book afterward with the DVDs. During the wedding day both him and his assistant kept in mind certain shots we wanted. He was very friendly and I had many people come up to me and tell me they loved our photographer! I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer -- look no further, give Chris a call or email! read more

Chris and his assistant photographed our wedding at the Hotel 1000 and we couldn't have been happier! He did his research on the location and found perfect spots to take the photos. His assistant was fantastic and even saved the day when she took a sewing kit out of her bag and helped a bridesmaid with her dress. It was obvious they are very experienced. They made us feel very at ease from the first meeting and were very organized and stuck to the schedule perfectly on the day of the wedding. He and his assistant were very easy to work with and had such a great attitudes the entire time. We got married at the beginning of wedding season so we got our photos back in less than a week! His fee is greatly deserved and extremely reasonable! He is a true photographer with a great eye. We were very impressed with his creativity! read more

My husband and I are so happy that we went with Chris Gendron to photograph our Seattle wedding last April. I'm not a huge fan of getting my photo taken, and was nervous about the whole wedding photography experience. During our engagement shoot, Chris instantly put me and my husband at ease with his friendly personality and sense of humor. Right off the bat he had us laughing and joking around with each other, which perfectly captures how we actually are with each other and that really came through in the photos. Throughout the whole process, Chris continued to be pleasant, professional and responsive. On the day of the wedding, Chris and his assistant were there capturing every moment without being pushy or in your face. When we got back the photos, they perfectly captured the spirit of joy and fun that ran through the day. Chris' photos were beautiful and creative, but most importantly they just felt like us, and captured the wedding exactly as we remembered it. We felt like we got a great value with Chris, and would definitely recommend him! read more

Chris is, in a word, amazing. We just got our wedding photos and could not be happier. He has such a great eye. The photos are so unique and just perfect. Of course we weren't surprised that we loved them, since we also loved our engagement photos. Chris is also just a great guy and awesome to work with - he's super cool and laid back and has a great sense of humor. He immediately put my husband who hates photos at ease. Chris is also the best in terms of value - his packages include unlimited time (other photographers I noticed do 5-8 hours and you have to pay for extra hours!) as well as the engagement session. He was also so flexible on the day of the wedding, able to tell when we needed breaks, and very attuned to certain family dynamics that affected the photos. He was also so quick with the posed bridal party and family photos which was much appreciated. I highly, highly recommend Chris, you will not be disappointed. read more

My husband and I chose Chris Gendron to be our wedding photographer because we loved the way he seemed to capture an eclectic mix of beautiful shots from the weddings in his gallery (http://www.gendronphoto.com/), he had great reviews, and was willing to work with us to create a package that was right for us. He and his assistant were incredibly easy to work with on the day of the wedding. They made it easy for everyone to relax and have fun with the pictures and were full of great ideas for shots as well as receptive to our ideas. We were incredibly happy with the results when we received our digital copies of all of the photos and a beautiful proof book a few weeks after the wedding. Our pictures were a perfect mix of candid, posed, and artistic shots, were beautifully composed, and captured all of our best moments. He did such a wonderful job capturing the colors and textures of our three settings. We could not be happier with Christopher Gendron Photography and would highly recommend it to anyone! read more

Chris Gendron was the perfect fit for our wedding photography needs--I'm so happy with our experience! I first found his work on Yelp and his artsy style caught my eye. When I reached out, he responded quickly and brainstormed with me some fun places around Seattle to shoot photos (both at a gorgeous park and in downtown). He met with us two days before the wedding to take couple photos (not traditional, but worked better with our schedule) and we had a great time going to beautiful places to shoot. On our wedding day, Chris was efficient with the family/friend photos, and worked extremely hard during the reception to get flattering shots of everyone. He has an exceptional eye for angles, lighting, and for capturing the moment. We couldn't be happier with the final images (over 2,500 digital photos over the two days).
