Chris x Jess Photo & Film

had all we needed. We received a Polaroid book the day after and loved looking through it and reliving everything. Can’t wait to see how gorgeous the rest of the shots are! 

m.

es, and Jess captured all the small precious moments in video. Our pictures have been such a special memento from our wedding day. I highly recommend Chris and Jess to anyone looking for photos that truly capture the emotions of the wedding. The excitement from all the guests, the love between the couple and their families, and the goofiness of bridal party, and the fun energy coming from the bridal party. They managed to get all of these, all while getting the specific pictures/people I wanted them to.

and so glad we have these to look back on

t posing but they directed us and captured natural moments that turned out so beautifully and true to us! They were so much fun to have around all day. They were also very helpful in accommodating for my family’s needs during the family portraits (grandma has Alzheimer’s). Chris helped by speaking to her in Spanish and by having her move as little as possible as she was in a wheelchair. It was small, but felt so impactful to my family and me. Chris and Jess also had the full album back to us in only a couple months! They also included a Polaroid photo album that was given to us during our send off. It was perfect because we were able to look right away at our whole day. Hiring them was so worth it and I’m so so happy we did!!

ediately said "this is our guy". Starting with the engagement shoot, Chris went above and beyond researching a list of locations for us. And as someone who is not very comfortable in front of the camera, Chris immediately put my worries at ease. Leading up to our wedding, they were very communicative and wanted to make sure they capture our day how we envisioned. On our wedding day, Chris and Jess made the day seamless and stress free! They were professional, on-time, personable, flexible and easy to work with. Jess was the ultimate hype girl, as she could tell I was a bit out of my comfort zone during posed pictures. And Chris showed his passion by getting creative with shots. We appreciated how quick they were with portrait shots after the ceremony to allow us more time to have fun with our friends and family. And they delivered on all the candid dance party pics we wanted. Put simply, they understood the assignment! Not only were we blown away by the stunning pictures, but the turnaround time of our gallery was impressive. Oh and we LOVE the polaroid book of our wedding day. They were so fun to work with and it's clear they are masters at their craft! Seriously cannot say enough good things about Chris and Jess!

’t stress anyone out, laughed with my family and captured all the best moments! I knew looking at their portfolio ahead of time that the pictures were going to be stellar. I get SO many compliments on my wedding photos and it’s because of Chris and Jess! On top of it all, they are just super fun and grounded, loving people! ❤️

exudes joy. Not a single moment felt posed or forced. We just felt like we could be ourselves with them, and they captured it perfectly. So if you want photos that will always make you smile, that you can’t stop sharing, you’ve found your new best photographer friends! From the moment you book with them, till your wedding day, they’re in your back pocket to help you with whatever you need leading up to your big day. Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or planning a timeline, they’ve got you covered

do an amazing job creating a fun environment and make you feel comfortable while providing direction to get the best shot. They have captured some amazing photos of my husband and I, my favorite being some sweet candid moments that capture “us”. I have referred multiple people to them and can’t say enough amazing things! You won’t regret booking them!

nd responsive. They were great about helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera and telling us how to pose/move etc. They definitely tailored our experience to our personal styles and preferences. They perfectly captured our vibe as a couple. We especially appreciated the variety of different photo styles (black and white, grainy, flash etc.) in our final gallery as well as clear communication about when to expect to get our final gallery after the wedding. We highly recommend hiring Chris x Jess to capture your big day.

tos capturing the happiest day of our lives, and our highlight video is so fun to look back at and relive some sweet, sweet memories. We could not imagine more beautiful reminders of our wedding day and we are as pleased as can be with every beautiful photo that was taken. Chris and Jess as people are also wonderful and so easy to spend time with! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and Chris and Jess are so kind, fun, and bright that it makes this time go easily! Chris and Jess are fun people, great to work with, and were professional and respondent throughout the whole process. Each time we needed help with something they responded quick and were very helpful. We love Chris and Jess, and highly recommend going to them for a wonderful photo & video experience!

s, little moments between loved ones and the special moments you dont even realize are special. They truly are so talented and really love what they do! I have to shoutout to Jess as well. You are truly going to get something so special out of them and they are some of the best souls around!

arents and large families, while still being able to spend time with our guests. The photos turned out incredible, they are the perfect combination of classic and unique. Chris asked us to trust him with some of the ideas he had and I'm so glad we did because they're our favorite photos. We would highly recommended Chris and Jess to anyone needing a photographer!

feel confident in my decision to hire them for our big day. My husband and I don't like taking a lot of photos but they were able to make us feel extremely comfortable not only during our engagement photos but throughout our wedding day as well. They were so efficient throughout the day as well, making sure that we got the pictures that we wanted but also had enough time to enjoy our event with our guests. While we haven't gotten our wedding photos yet, if they are anything like our engagement photos I know we won't be disappointed! We highly recommend Chris and Jess for all your photography needs - you will not be disappointed!

alked about the most important items that I wanted to be captured, and they delivered. One thing I loved the most is that they really care. On my wedding day, their presence has calmed me, and they helped make sure that everything was on time so then I wouldn't have to worry. They go above and beyond the role of photographer and videographer. I am so incredibly pleased with my photos and film, and I can't recommend them enough!

ntic happiness in our photos. The pictures came out so beautifully and we would recommend them to anyone needing a photographer!

on to detail, laidback vibes, and warm demeanor sold us from the beginning. From the engagement photos, countdown check-ins, and true VIP service on our wedding day, its been a dream. True story: I accidentally stepped in a pile of fire ants during my first look and they stopped everything to help me, calm me, and run to get me medicine at CVS right after. I mean, they are the best people. No lie, we got married last night and we wanted to immediately write this. We are so overjoyed to have had Chris X Jess on our special day. HIGHLY recommend <3

o get in touch with and chat with leading up to the event, and also easily and expertly navigated all the chaos of wedding day, bringing good vibes everywhere they went. From patiently talking through last-minute questions to jumping in to help with random things like pinning boutonnieres to kicking back and having a beer with us to ease the nerves before the ceremony, we seriously could not have had a more supportive and cool duo by our sides. THANK YOU Chris and Jess for bringing so much to our wedding day. We love you guys!!!

w they capture our special day. Chris was our photographer and even though it was 103 degrees out and we were nervous, he made us feel much more comfortable by the end. Chris even accommodated a last minute change when our makeup artist cancelled on us. Highly recommend them!

photographer and Chris was our guy. The day we took Our engagement photos happen to be the coldest day of the winter but he made it so fun and so comfortable and got incredible pictures. We have not yet received the wedding photos but I could not wait to yell from the rooftops how amazing Chris is. He was definitely in his happy place capturing our memories and his overall involvement in the wedding I know that the photos will be nothing short of spectacular. He is so chill and professional it’s so easy to be comfortable around him.

rvous before our engagement shoot, but Chris did so much to ensure we were both comfortable and acting like ourselves during both that shoot and our wedding. We loved how Chris & Jess' photos looked so natural and candid, and had more of a rich feel to them, and that's EXACTLY what we got for our wedding. You can tell they love photography because they really played with the location and the lighting, which resulted in truly unique and breathtaking photos. We have gotten sooooooo many compliments on them! My mom even said they are the most beautiful wedding photos she has ever seen! We also got the chance to do some creative flash photos outside of our venue at night which turned out looking so cool -- they are some of our favorites out of our whole gallery. They were also really helpful in the planning process by putting together a photo timeline for the day, so we knew exactly where everyone should be at what times. So, anyways, I will never stop shouting from the rooftops about how amazing Chris and Jess are. If you like their style, BOOK THEM! You will not regret it!!

g in to our day (without sticking out like sore thumbs) and capturing it perfectly. Don't walk, RUN to book them before it's too late. They are worth EVERY single penny and more. Thank you, Team, for letting us relive our special day over and over.

onest and open personalities to their stunning artistic point of view, they are all around the perfect photographers. Having pictures taken of you can be such an awkward situation, especially for couples who have never taken them together. Chris and Jess emailed us with all the information we needed to prepare for our engagement photo session. What to wear, including colors/patterns that worked best for the session, what times of day were most beautiful, and how to relax and have a good time for the session. My husband and I were so nervous about our engagement photos, but we were quickly put at ease by Chris. He was so patient and so personable that we quickly felt like we were with a friend. Seeing the pictures made us even more excited to see what they would do for the wedding! The engagement photos were so beautiful we had a hard time picking favorites and ended up having a dozen printed for us to hang. Both Chris and Jess were so easy to reach and answered all our questions, they also stayed in touch to make sure they knew everything they needed to about the wedding day. The day of the wedding finally came, and they showed up just as excited as we were! They brought so much life and joy to the day, that everyone was thrilled to be a part of the photos/video. They flowed so easily between myself, my husband, and the setup of the ceremony/reception space. They gave perfect direction to our bridal group/families that made the planned photos go quickly. They made sure everyone was enjoying the photoshoot; it did not feel like a chore. After all of the planned photos were taken and the reception started, they followed everyone around taking amazing action shots! They were with everyone dancing, the people playing games, our cake cutting, bouquet toss. Everywhere you went you saw at least one camera! The entire party was so impressed with Chris and Jess, they really felt like part of the family. They weren't just photographers, they added so much energy to the wedding. Our wedding photos came in, and not a day has passed that I haven't stopped to look at these amazing photos. Jess and Chris really put their entire soul into these photos, it just makes every single picture sing. Their eye for color, light, scenery makes every photo they take so special. Our family loved seeing the actions shots of themselves and have already talked about the photos they cant wait to get printed. We love Jess and Chris and we can't wait for future sessions with them. Because of the way they captured our wedding makes it easy to relive every day. We are beyond thankful they were with us on our special day and we know they will be with us for all our future milestones.

uick with communication and 100% reliable. You can't go wrong with this duo.

nd them to anyone!

better than I hoped. They were also flexible during the pandemic and we really appreciated that with all the stress of having to move our wedding date. I highly recommend them.

rk with from start to finish. They are professional and efficient while still being real and genuine. They really love what they do and it shows with how beautiful and meaningful their pictures come out. I just got mine back today and have been staring at them for the past three hours. If you want a photographer that is really there for YOU and WANTS to give you beautiful, amazing quality photos of you and your loved ones...look no further!!

d beyond to make sure we had a special, stress-free day. Their kindness and professionalism has left a lasting impression and I can't wait for them to capture more of our special life moments.

ecial day was hands down the best decision we made. Having worked with likely hundreds of vendors through work events, I am incredibly particular about what I look for. Not only were Chris and Jess immediately responsive, intuitive, and the absolute easiest to work with from the get-go, they went above and beyond throughout the entire process to ensure that everything was a huge success. Oh, and did I mention every single photo they captured is TO DIE FOR? Here is just a small list of MANY more things that they did to make us fall in love with them: - We struggled finding a small, unique space for a private ceremony the day before our larger reception - Chris recommended The Lumen Room - the perfect spot. He sent photos, details, and connected me with the space and it couldn't have been easier. We used the space and it was exactly what we envisioned. - They made suggestions of vendors throughout the whole process - all of which were incredibly helpful and lovely to work with. - They were flexible, made incredibly helpful planning recommendations, and were always down to text, call, facetime etc. for the months leading up to the wedding, providing advice and tips on everything from 'most photography friendly confetti colors' to 'the best time to schedule photos to take advantage of phenomenal natural light.' (These two are literal MVPs and know their stuff). They also guide you through the process with beautiful and natural art direction that can make even the most photo-awkward (me and my husband) or photo-shy couples look like they should be on the cover of vogue. And finally, I have to mention how they basically saved my wedding. Our wedding took place the weekend after the Texas winter storm - electricity had been out, water pipes had burst, and we received a call from our reception venue (72 hours prior to the big day) that due to burst pipes and a collapsed ceiling, we could no longer hold our reception in the venue. I called Chris, he made a few calls, connected us with some VIP venue staff, and within less than FOUR HOURS we had a new venue locked in and ready to go. Here's what I can tell you in summary: 1. Hire Chris and Jess immediately - I promise it will be the best thing you do. 2. They are more than just photographers - they stick with you and support you through every step of the process. They are your friends and your biggest fans and they genuinely want your day and your photos to be incredible and everything that you hoped for. 2. They are immensely talented and their approach is incredibly unique, seemingly effortless, and so natural while being flawlessly distinctive to their style. The end result for you is gorgeous photos that will serve as amazing memories that you will cherish forever (and likely two incredible people to call your new friends.) We can't stop looking at our photos to be honest. :)

tures and video turned out INCREDIBLE. We could not have asked for better support through the chaotic time of COVID; they were with us every step of the way.

To say we made the best choice is a huge understatement!! The talent, the authenticity, the unique organic style is something that sets them apart from sooo many! Right away they made us feel like family and were so involved and truly got our style and who were as a couple. The beautiful art that were our photos we received back brought tears to my eyes! I couldn’t believe they were ours. Every single photo was captured so beautifully. Every single person that has seen our photos instantly were in awe and immediately asked who the photographer was and I couldn’t be more proud to tell them Chris x Jess Photography!! You will NOT regret or doubt your decision when you select Chris and Jess to capture your beautiful moments. You will also gain friends for life! Truly the best people!

our engagement session and wedding so beautifully. Chris is so creative and has a way of putting everyone at ease in front of the camera. He's got some of the best dad jokes I've ever heard and kept us laughing the entire time. Both he and Jess just exude authenticity and that is very evident in their work. I can't recommend them enough! I wish I could give this 10 stars because they deserve it. My husband and I will cherish their beautiful photos forever.

course, the wedding was absolutely fantastic. They are very, very easy to not only be around but to "work with" and everyone, seriously, EVERYONE at the wedding loved them. We have a picture of Chris and Jess taking photos of the kids that were at the wedding and one with Chris actually carrying the youngest child in his arms while taking photos of the ceremony, which I wish I could add to this review. Absolutely incredible. And they both worked hard to get the best pictures they could while actively making sure that everyone was comfortable and having the best time. We cannot imagine being more in awe and thrilled with how everything turned out. They even got in the Bobcat cage with the bride to take photos. Chris and Jess, we loved you guys so much. Thank you two very much for everything and we hope to keep in touch.

’t take cliche, stiff pictures—he instead makes you and your partner feel so comfortable in your own skin in front of the camera. It’s like having an old friend take pictures of you, only difference is that you just met him lol. After our engagement shoot & before our wedding, Chris was so great about answering questions and giving us advice even though that’s not something he had to or needed to do. We are just so grateful to have found Chris—it’s literally like we won the “wedding photographer” lottery. In addition to gifting us with the most beautiful engagement & wedding photos, Chris has gifted us with an awesome new friendship! If you don’t hire Chris x Jess Photography for your engagement/wedding, you are truly missing out!

ommune with, and all around amazing! Would give more stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

great at making you feel comfortable. I love the vibe they have and I also am thrilled to support a small business. They made my husband and I feel like models! I cannot wait to see our photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

rned out great because they got all the pictures I wanted and more. They always keep the mood light and fun to make sure you enjoy your big day. They are really nice people too and only want to make the big day perfect for you. I would definitely book them again!

get all the pictures I wanted and more. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! They are really nice people and want to make your day perfect!

us feel very comfortable in front of a camera. That quickly changed when Chris made us laugh hysterically about the classic scene from the Office when Kevin spills his famous chili all over the floor. Not only did this laugh give us a great photo, but it set the stage for a great relationship with our photographers. They provide a great balance of direction and freedom so that the photographs are stunning, but also feel natural while shooting them. If I could give them 10/5 stars I would! Can’t recommend this dream team enough.

cared about us as people, not just clients. They are genuine and caring people and incredibly talented photographers. When things on the day of the wedding did not go exactly as we had planned they were so calm and helpful. And our pictures are SO beautiful!! We couldn’t be happier and are so thankful they were there to capture all the moments of our special day.
