As a professional wedding photographer, I wasn't sure how easy it was going to be for me to say…read more"yes" to OUR wedding photographer. Having known Chris since High School and having worked with him as an assistant for a wedding he photographed, I knew who he was, I knew his style and I knew his equipment. I was comfortable knowing all of the above, so my now husband, Justin and I went to meet him to discuss options to have him as our photographer. Before walking into the meeting, I had practically made my mind up already that he was who we would book, but I wanted Justin to meet him and I wanted to get those "warm fuzzies" from our conversation. After the meeting, we were thrilled to choose Chris to photograph our big day! First came our engagement shoot; like I said, I am also a photographer, but my goal was to act as though I had never held a camera in my life. Chris and his wife April took the reigns and helped Justin and I with the entire shoot from start to finish. When we saw the final product, we were over the moon!! With the engagement pictures out of the way, we certainly looked forward to what our photos would look like from our BIG day! Prior to our wedding day, Chris took the time to get every detail straight regarding wants/needs to ensure our wedding day was seamless. He showed up with a list on our wedding day of everything that we had discussed! During our ceremony and reception, Chris and his assistant were all over the place but never came across as invasive. In fact, at times I forgot they were there taking pictures (even when they were right in front of my face!). What an amazing time we had! Our wedding day came and went, but Chris is the one who will forever help us to cherish our "perfect" day in the form of his artwork. Our photos are stunning and our friends and family can't say enough good things about them. I would certainly recommend Chris for anyone to use as their wedding photographer, he was and I'm sure always will be, phenomenal. Thanks Chris!

When my wife, Brit, and I were initially searching for a photographer we asked to meet with Chris…read morefirst because he had a great portfolio. After meeting him in person, I was so certain on having him shoot for our wedding that I declined to meet with other photographers. What stood out to me about Chris was that he dispelled my preconception of wedding photographers as intrusive, and he took great pride and care in his craft that went beyond just working the camera. During the wedding he blended in perfectly and captured beautiful, candid moments of us and our guests. During the still shots, Chris was precise and detail-oriented and the results were fantastic. I was very proud to share his work with our family. Working with Chris was one of the easiest and most enjoyable aspects of our wedding experience and I highly recommend his thoughtful and talented approach to capturing forever memories.

I was referred to Ashley Grace Photography by an ad I saw looking for baby twin models. Since I was…read moredue to have twin girls, I thought I'd reach out to her. Now I'm in the wedding industry and am super picky about photography. I like a certain style; chic, a little vintage, soft, natural, creative- nothing posed or overly edited. We made an appt with Ashley Grace when our twins were 11 days old. I've had my nieces newborn portraits done and expected a very long, stressful day cuddling, feeding, and calming fussy babies... Well that is not the service we received! Ashley was there (punctual- I like that) with her mom who came from PA to help her! They were sweet as pumpkin pie! They greeted us by 1st name and took care of the babies from that point on. They had this calming sweet energy about them that the babies responded very well to. They told us to relax- go get a coffee, they would take care of everything and they did! The correspondence was always in a timely manner an any questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. We went to view the images and were absolutely in tears and blown away! We went ahead and purchased a canvas, baby announcement cards, an 8x10, and all of the rights to the images and DID NOT break the bank! Ashley provides the "old time- know you by name" service. We cannot wait to have milestone and holidays sessions with her! Thank you Ashley you're fabulous!!!!

TLDR; Shooting with Mandie was a great experience that we'll be repeating…read more We were looking for an affordable photographer for our maternity shoot, and we were incredibly lucky to come across Mandie Lee Photography. Not only is Mandie affordable, but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Ahead of the shoot, she gave us a consultation where we showed sample pictures to give an idea of what we wanted, and she also helped us pick a great location. The weather report ended up being bad for our time slot, but Mandie was on top of it, messaging us well in advance and rescheduling around our busy schedule. Once we were there, Mandie was generous with going past an hour to make sure we got all the shots we wanted, and had great ideas herself for how to use the location to get more great shots in line with our consultation. Mandie even gave us a very fast turn around on our pictures to make sure we had them in time for our baby shower, and we were incredibly happy with how they turned out. Literally everything we could want in a photographer, we'll definitely be working with her again.
