Chris Zachary Photography

so extremely prompt with his previews, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process.

metown of Wilmington, North Carolina. However, he is amazing and willing to travel! He is easy-going, kind, professional, and his photography is extraordinary! He is a perfectionist and his work shows! My husband and I loved his more natural aesthetic is his photo editing, which lends well for a Fall Boone Mountain Wedding. We were enamored at our preview photos because Chris executed with such precision the most amazing heart felt moments of our wedding ceremony. The previews came the next day and I'm so excited to see the rest. I will always put my trust in Chris for capturing some of our greatest, most integral life moments because the pictures that he cultivates are something I will cherish for the rest of my life. He bounces off ideas with you on what poses, backgrounds, or people you would like in your photos and he also provides great direction so you look your best. I cannot thank you enough Chris. There is an incredible, palpable passion that emanates from your craft and you helped me feel like the most confident, glowing bride on my wedding day!

ris’ first weddings years back, in Wilmington. While his instinct, creativity, and professionalism were apparent then, Chris has only become more refined, precise, and direct. We are blown away with our sample set of photos and absolutely loved our full gallery of photos. We highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for an incredibly detailed and creative photographer, and are happy to provide a letter of recommendation to any venue looking to add Chris to their preferred vendor list.

ed with his portfolio, after a great intro meeting we knew he was the right photographer for us! We had little correspondence with Chris after signing our contract but after we reached out to him in early March he worked with our coordinator to finalize the schedule and sent over an extensive timeline and shot list, an organized bride's dream! Chris showed before scheduled on our wedding day, was easy to work with, and seemed to always be in the right spot for the perfect shot - we couldn't wait to see our images! As a typical antsy newlywed I couldn't wait for a sneak peek and expected to be sent a shot or 2 in the days following our wedding. In mid April, after not hearing from Chris since the wedding day, I paged through our contract to find a promised delivery timeline and was unable to find any information so I reached out to Chris (shame on us for not asking and outlining this in our contract prior to signing). He apologized for the delay and sent us a sneak peek album the following week, we were pleased with the images, although they were not edited (closed eyes, heads in the foreground, cars in outdoor shots, etc.), and Chris assured us the images would be fully edited as discussed during our intro meeting. We couldn't wait to see the finished product! After the sneak peek I reached out to follow up with Chris on the finals a couple of times with no response, finally in early June I sent another message. Chris responded with another apology and we received our final images the first week in June. Our physical USB drive didn't arrive until several weeks later. We were thrilled to finally have our wedding photos and spent a few days looking through the pictures, it was then the disappointment returned. Although we provided a detailed shot list, I was crushed to find that I did not have a photo with my (divorced) parents, something that never dawned on us during the whirlwind of our wedding day. We also realized many of the photos were not edited as expected and we reached out to Chris to have a few of our favorites corrected but we didn't bother with many others. Something of less importance that was still a source of frustration - while anticipating the delivery of and awaiting our images Chris posted beautiful shots from many weddings the weeks following ours, it seemed unfair while we waited for our own. Chris did provide us with a wedding album at no cost to help make up for trouble which we were appreciative of. Chris takes beautiful photos, I will never dispute that but his lack of communication, responsiveness, and attention to details have left us with a disappointing outcome.

ogether feel effortless and un-staged.
