Chris Denner Photography I don’t approach wedding photography in a standard way. My aim is to capture your wedding differently, steering away from the boring and cliché styles that dominate the field. I focus on a more fun and engaging approach, leaving behind posed, rigid traditions. Instead, I embrace colourful, intimate, and beautiful moments with a reportage and relaxed style.

It is hard to put into words just how amazing Chris really is at his job. When hunting for a photographer Chris was the only person who stood out to us, his images are filled with colour and personality and truly capture the emotions of the day. We didn't want boring, we wanted someone who could bring out and capture us and our personalities and thats exactly what he did.

From our first phone call with Chris we knew he was the guy for us, he had us laughing within 30 seconds and made us feel so comfortable. This continued on our pre-wedding shoot where he managed to break our awkwardness in front of the camera and capture some really beautiful images. Although he is a great laugh and can break the ice with anybody he meets he really is a great professional too.

He kept us both calm throughout the day, made sure we knew where we needed to be and when, but most of all made sure we were having the most amazing day. We honestly felt like we had another friend there at the wedding with us! Despite the weather doing everything you wish it wouldn't on your wedding day, Chris managed to capture some stunning photographs that have encapsulated each moment perfectly.

They exude the happiness, laughter and love we felt in each moment, and who knew rain could be so beautiful! We knew when booking Chris that we wanted the iconic confetti shot and by god has he delivered! We honestly cannot thank you enough Chris! Much love, Mr & Mrs Thornley XXX

We've only just had our pre-wedding shoot but the photos we've had back are simply incredible. The fun you bought to the day made it so good! Definitely advise getting the pre wedding shoot if you book Chris, it's so much fun and a really good way to meet properly. It's got us so excited for the big day!

We chose Chris to be the photographer after a long search for someone who understand we wanted a fun loving informal approach to do with everything at our wedding. After seeing Chris's work we knew he could capture those perfect moments. Chris was great at ensuring we understood what would happen throughout the day, keeping in touch in the run up to the big day.

On the day Chris brought the right energy at the right time. Ensuring both myself and the groom were ok as well as doing his job. Ensuring the photos didn't take over too much time, making sure we had moments to ourselves and we had time with our guests. So many of our guests have commented on how great Chris was and how he just slotted into our wedding day effortlessly. Then there's the pictures. our previews have been amazing and can't wait to see the rest of them!

Perfect! We found Chris at a wedding fair and were immediately drawn to him because of his colourful vibrant stand and his cool tatts of course! From the day we met him he was always looking to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. I couldn't have asked for anymore from Chris, a great source of morale, stress reliever, guest organiser, a good friend and ultimately a top photographer! Thanks Chris.

I cannot recommend Chris enough! We flew him out to Portugal for our wedding, and i am so glad we did! He was both professional but fun, helping us throughout the day as not just a photographer but also by answering any questions we had using the vast experience he has gathered over the years. We could tell he knew exactly what he was doing including the best times and shots for photos, he really did help the day run like clockwork despite not having been to the venue before.

He was always easy to contact during the build up to the wedding, and easy to talk to. On the day he most definately helped calm the nerves! Chris, it was really enjoyable to work with you. I am not normally one who likes to have my picture taken, but i had a great time posing for the photos! I cannot wait to see the results! Please make me look beautiful!

Chris was amazing all day! Chris made sure to make the day all about us, his service started from the day we booked him with video calls and check ins to make sure the day was exactly how we wanted it. On the day he wasn't just a photographer but a coordinator of all our disorganised guests making sure they were in the right place for confetti shoots and formal photos.

He also made sure to get through the formal photos as smooth and quickly as possible so we could get on and enjoy our day. Although we loved having him around it was pretty amazing that we barely noticed him after the formal photos, he did exactly as we asked and snapped as many shots of people just enjoying the day as possible. The post service has also been amazing with a series of images shared on the day, a small teaser slideshow a couple of weeks later and the full gallery shortly after! Ultimately Chris is amazing and I would definitely recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Chris at our pre-wedding shoot this week and by God did he put those wedding fears to rest. He is a natural at making you feel at ease, getting you laughing and making you feel as if you aren't even being photographed. The whole time felt like we were just on a walk with a friend and I think that's evident in the photos he captured. Can't wait to see what he captures on the big day!

Energy, passion, fun. If you're looking for something different and authentic - look no further! We chose Chris as our Wedding Photographer because we didn't want boring, and we knew from the moment we met that he was perfect for job. Chris does a fantastic job at just 'getting it' when it comes to capturing moments, whilst making you feel at ease throughout the day. Can't recommend Mr Denner enough - Thank you so much Chris, you're a star!

We were initially drawn to Chris' photographs because they were not the standard 'posed' offerings from other wedding photographers. He documented the day, taking into account our specific wishes, ensuring that he captured the special images we requested as well as many more beautiful compositions. His relaxed yet professional manner made our guests feel comfortable and many commented on just how lovely he was to be around.

His immense professionalism was only topped by his incredible creativity and he was constantly suggesting ideas for beautiful and interesting images. He put us and our guests at ease and we would highly recommend him for your special day. We would like to personally thank Chris for making our day even more memorable.

We chose Chris to be our wedding photographer after we saw his work at a friends wedding. We loved the emotion we was able to capture in their photos - I'd never seen such happiness portrayed through photography before! Therefore our expectations were high for our wedding - and I can honestly say Chris exceeded them all! He's organised, efficient, friendly, flexible, fun. Chris conducted the 100 people at our wedding seamlessly through the various photo combinations we had requested - he made the process look easy and several guests commented on how smooth and efficient the photo process was.

It meant everyone could socialise sooner rather than waiting for photos. Chris clearly loves his work and is an expert in his field, but is also so down to earth that we were able to relax and never felt like we were being asked to stand in awkward poses for minutes on end. He made two very unphotogenic individuals look like supermodels! We will treasure our wedding photos and involving Chris in our wedding forever!

I cannot put into words how grateful we are to have had Chris as our wedding photographer. He was fun, hilarious, the easiest person to work with and his talent is unbelievable. To watch him work was inspiring, nothing was off limits and he got himself into the most ridiculous positions to get 'the shot'. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him.

He organised our guests for us, told everyone what they needed to do at our request and made the few 'posed' pictures fun! I'm glad to have found this awesome guy at the National Wedding Show, and I'll never forget his hot pink suit! You're the best Chris, Wakanda Forever x

We met Chris 12 months ago at the National Wedding Show at the NEC, we didn't want the traditional wedding photographer and had got to point of thinking of not having one, then at the end of the day we met Chris and saw his vibrant colourful different photos and once we got talking to him we knew we had to book him. He made us feel at ease was great with the kids and talked about all the exciting things we could capture without it being all formal and staged.

We met Chris with the boys for a wedding pre-shoot and we knew instantly that our big day would be captured with some fantastic photos. Chris on the day was brilliant, he delivered superb service and was so much part of our day that'll we'll remember forever. We would recommend Chris to everyone. We can't thank you enough and the photos we've soon so far are breathtaking. Thanks Darren & Bekki

Do Not Book Chris if you want old fashioned fuddy duddy photos! If you want Wedding photos that have tonnes of personality, artistic flair and capture the emotion of the day, book him NOW before his diary is full! Chris's work speaks for itself - it is stunning! What you don't see is that he is the nicest guy, he fitted in so well you'd have thought he was a guest at the wedding. He was a pleasure to have around. The feedback from the photos has been amazing & would not hesitate to recommend him to create incredible pics.

We wanted our day to be enjoyed not staged, we have just had our preview that was beautifully sent and the photos are just incredible. We can't wait to see them all! Chris is such good company and will make you feel like an old friend is taking them.

What can I say about Chris Denner Photography. I'm lost for words! Chris photographed my daughters wedding in May 2024 and I am blown away by not only the service he provided but the images he has produced are PHENOMENAL! Nobody could have captured the day better. The pictures have captured the day, the couple, and the atmosphere - the laughs, the love, the tears (and there we're a lot of tears lol) perfectly.

They say "a picture speaks a thousand words" and that's so true with Chris - he's a real artist and such a pro. He was great with the guests and he made everyone feel at ease. If you want fun, heartfelt wedding photographer then Chris is your guy. Thanks Chris!

We had the most magical day captured by Chris. Prior to booking Chris, I spent weeks trying to find the perfect photographer. We needed someone fun, talented and with work a little different.

On the day he was really helpful in not only telling me and my now wife what to do (as we were clueless ) but also assisting our guests and chatting to them throughout the day too.

We honestly cannot recommend Chris enough! We saw his work first hand during my brother's wedding and knew instantly that we wanted him to capture our wedding too! His artwork honestly speaks for itself, he is incredibly talented. Not only that, but he is an absolute pleasure to work with all through the process of getting to know each other, capturing the day itself, and beyond.

The important thing for us was to have a really fun and relaxed day with candid photos that captured that essence. Chris did that in spades, and is such an authentic, genuine, and energetic soul who knows exactly how to capture the moment. To anyone unsure about who should capture their day, Chris will do the most excellent job! Wakanda forever my dude.

From the moment that I saw Chris' work, I knew that I wanted him to capture our wedding. Our first video call with him just confirmed that he was absolutely the right photographer for us. He was funny, kind & instantly made us feel at ease. We are both a little camera shy & I didn't want to spend hours of our wedding day posing for stuffy images that just weren't us. Chris' documentary style of photography has captured the moments that we might not have seen or remembered & these are the images that are important to us, our loved ones enjoying our wedding, hopefully as much as we did!

Nothing felt forced with Chris & we honestly felt like he was a friend just capturing beautiful moments. So many of our guests have commented that he blended so easily into the background & that they never felt on show. We are over the moon with our preview images & are waiting patiently but with massive excitement & anticipation for the rest of our gallery, we know that it will be sublime. If you are looking for a photographer, stop! You need look no further than Chris, he is a gentleman & an artist.

As soon as I laid eyes on Chris at the NEC wedding show in Birmingham, I knew we had to have him for our wedding! The images he has produced for other couples weddings were exactly what we wanted, natural, full of colour and energy, and just fun! He said he could deliver exactly what we asked for, and he certainly did and then some! More than just a photographer, he was there from the beginning to offer us support and advice. Easygoing and just an all round funny guy, he provided more than just photography on our wedding day.

He helped to ease wedding day anxiety and slotted right into our wedding party (guests absolutely loved him!). His eye for catching detail is impressive to say the least and I know our wedding album will be incredible. We are very excited to see our full album after being sent a sneak preview. If you're thinking about booking Chris, just do it. You won't be disappointed!

Chris was absolutely excellent as a photographer at our Wedding in December 2023. In the buildup, we arranged to have a casual pre-wedding shoot, and a few meetings so that both parties were fully informed about what was going to happen on the day. On the day, Chris was 100% professional and a massive asset to the wedding. He helped with the organisation and ensuring that all our activities were going to happen on time.

His cheesy jokes certainly helped to lighten the sometimes very stressful mood; he would go above and beyond to help ensure any logistical issues were sorted, and stayed until the very end to capture some absolutely lovely pictures. We cannot have done this wedding without the absolutely amazing input from Chris and I wholly recommend him! You won't regret it!

Chris. The BEST wedding photographer out there! Where do we even begin with recommending Chris? From the moment we first saw his portfolio of work, we knew we had to get him to work with us on the day. Non-traditional, natural, fun, bright, vibrant, colourful - his artwork speaks for itself. Having received our gallery and spending hours looking through our photos, every single one is different and absolutely captures the moment, the feelings, the raw emotions and ourselves and our wedding guests in our most natural, happy form.

In all honesty, we were a little anxious about the thought of being 'on camera' all day with neither of us being the most confident in front of the lens. However, from the moment Chris arrived at the venue on the morning, he was so calming, warm, approachable, FUNNY. he just felt like an old friend and we just loved having him as a GUEST at our wedding.

The memories of our day will forever live on in the form of these photographs, and in the tales, stories and memories we have with Chris in capturing them. Everyone at our wedding was blown away with how brilliant he was on the day, and are still being blown away with the stunning, artistic photos he's captured. One thing we asked for was beautiful shots of our 1 year old son, and Chris most certainly didn't disappoint! He truly captured the essence, personality and soul of our little man, and for that, we're forever grateful. Chris Denner. a true wedding star and gent! Thank you!

Seriously, this guy has the perfect combo of being super friendly and not wasting any precious photo time. Chris knew exactly where to be and when to be there to capture those perfect moments.

I have literally stalked Chris for about 18 months. He was the first "thing" we booked when we confirmed our venue from a recommendation from a friend. Chris knew I was a bundle of nerves, but immediately put me at ease (several times during the day). I genuinely never for one minute thought that I would ever feel so relaxed, calm and above all, confident, having my photograph taken on my wedding day.

All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed watching you work, and how controlled, calm and professional you were which then made everyone else relax and just be themselves! You are the master of your craft and boy does it show! You have taken our breath away with the images we have already seen (which were in our inbox less than 24 hours later). I could go on and on. Gary & I, our children, our family and friends thank you so SO much. You will forever be known as our Memory Maker .

We had a wonderful experience with Chris on our wedding day. He made us all feel really at ease, and taking photos with him felt natural and comfortable. We are grateful that he helped organise everybody and keep everything moving so we didn't waste any time on anything unnecessary. The images he captured of our day and family are beautiful and artistic, while still being true to us.

We found Chris really communicative and easy to chat to throughout the process, and he is very open about his work so you know exactly what to expect from him. We would highly recommend him as a wedding photographer.

I'm not at all surprised to be writing a five star review of our experience with Chris as our wedding photographer last week in Zakynthos. I have used Chris for numerous other projects over the last 15 years and it doesn't take many interactions with him to realise that he is not only an exceptionally talented photographer, but one of the most genuine, charismatic and likeable people you will ever meet.

When we decided on a destination wedding, we both knew it had to be Chris, despite the logistics of him having to travel to Greece. Where many photographers would hear the words 'wedding' and 'destination' and start seeing pound signs, Chris saw an opportunity to expand his already exceptional portfolio and to make 2 people very very happy. So many of our guests commented on how Chris felt like part of the family, but also how thoughtful and unobtrusive he was able to be while taking photos.

The photos speak for themselves, there's a reason he is so in demand, but I cannot stress enough how much he cares, how hard he works, and the additional enjoyment he will add to your event. I've only ever really known Chris in a professional capacity, but I can safely say that my wife and I now consider him a friend. Unrivalled eye for artistic detail, the utmost professionalism and an all round top bloke. Just book, before someone else does!

We had Chris as our wedding photographer on 3/10/23. From the first contact till the very end Chris and his team have been really professional and helpful. He was easy to contact whenever we had questions. We really appreciated Chris setting up a meeting with us a few weeks before the wedding, and he made us feel really comfortable during this. Chris listened to our hopes for the wedding and our photography and helped us make a realistic plan for the day.

On the day, Chris made us both feel at ease when we were quite nervous! Every single guest he interacted with came away with positive comments about his warmth and professionalism, and he was so efficient at getting all the 'must-have' pictures with different groups so we could still enjoy our drinks reception. We've received a sneak peek of the pictures and love them all, we can't wait to see the rest now. Thank you Chris for being such a key part of our big day!

He truly captured the feelings and emotions of us all and then some. Looking through all of the photos felt like we were back in the moment and also seeing things we had missed on the day, expressions and reactions of ourselves and our guests. Chris was really good at getting in there and weaving his way through all the guests getting some brilliant shots. Chris was so good at making us feel at ease and chat whilst we were having our couple photos and the result was some amazing, natrual and relaxed photos. He captured the moments we will cherish.

From the moment my mum and I met Chris at the Wedding Show in Birmingham We knew he had to be at our wedding! Chris' style isn't the normal everyday wedding photography style, it was our style and I knew that he had to be at our wedding! His enthusiasm for his work, storytelling and our big day was just amazing, that coupled with his amazing pictures we saw that day sealed the deal!

The keeping in touch, emails, video calls and face to face meetings before the wedding was exactly what we needed seeing as our wedding was in Thailand. Chris made sure we got many "in-moment", unplanned pictures that truly showed the love and happiness of our day as well as a couple of event days after our wedding day. He was discreet and very professional even when we tried to force beer and cocktails down him!

We would absolutely recommend Chris for your special day, he is worth his weight in gold not to mention the amazing memories captured in photo that we can keep forever. Thanks again Chris, we cannot wait to see the full portfolio! Shell & Gazza xx

Chris is like no other photographer we met. We knew instantly that he was the one we wanted to capture our Perfect Day. We had a pre wedding shoot a couple of weeks before our big day which was great fun and the pictures are amazing. The kids felt really comfortable with him which was great and definitely reflected in the pictures. We can't wait for Chris to share our wedding day with us.

If you're looking for more than just a photographer, but someone who will capture images that tell a story and bring your memories to life every time you look at them then Chris is definitely the one to choose. Remember, normal is boring!

We reached out to Chris at Artisan X having seen some of his work on social media and were very impressed. We had also approached 4 other potential photographers, but from the get go Chris stood out from the crowd and made our decision a very easy one and possibly up there with the best one we made for our wedding! If you choose Chris for your special day I promise you won't regret it!

Before the wedding, Chris took the time to speak to us over Zoom (due to where we are based, face to face wasn't practical) in order to get to know us on a personal level and to talk us through his process. Something many other photographers didn't offer! We also made the decision to have a 'prewedding shoot' with Chris as neither my new wife nor I are particularly natural in front of the camera and we are very glad that we did.

Not only were the photos amazing (we have two hanging in our house) but it made us more relaxed on the day of the wedding so we enjoyed the process so much more. Chris definitely knows how to make you laugh! The wedding day itself was amazing and so many of our friends and family came up to complement us on Chris as a person and his approach to documenting the day.

My new wife had a vision in her mind of some photos she wanted, not only was Chris more than happy to oblige but wow has he delivered! The day after the wedding we received a select few photos from Chris and we absolutely love all of them, we are now very excited to receive the rest! Book Chris, you'll be over the moon that you did!

Words can not express the amazing experience we had working with Chris over the last 4 years. We booked him after our first meet at the NEC wedding show in 2019. Since then due to covid we re arranged the date 3 times and location to finally decide on Spain 31/5/23. At every step of the way Chris was with us supporting us encouraging us and been a friend to us! Chris is the best photographer you could ever wish to have (the photos speak for themselves).

He blends in with the environment and family so much we forgot he was there, but he was always capturing the moments that will last a life time. Chris made us feel like nothing was to much trouble from start to finish and even now the wedding is over he is sending little photo sneaky peaks and catching up with us while we await the full album in completed in 6-8 weeks time. Honestly I can not recommend Chris and artisan x photography more than saying I would 1 million percent booked him over and over again. You made our wedding PERFECT and we love you for it

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. We were very lucky to have Chris be our photographer for our wedding and he really made the day for us. Were his photos amazing?. of course that's why we chose him, however it was the personable service that we had in the lead up but also on the day that really makes Chris shine. A photographer is going to be the person you see the most of on your wedding day (other than your new husband or wife) and he was just like having a friend at the wedding.

We were at ease for the entire day, he was polite, jokey, made us feel so so comfortable and understood that we were celebrating our day and made it his mission to make sure we had the best time whilst getting the shots, we honestly felt like royalty. I cannot give this man enough credit for the magic he creates and words do not do him justice. All I would say is get this man at all costs for your day, he made ours and his work is phenomenal.

Chris is a phenomenal photographer and a really lovely bloke, and we were delighted to have him photograph our wedding a few weeks ago. We chose to go with Chris for his style, but also because his demeanour immediately put us at ease when we spoke to him; he was relaxed, jokey, and shared our vision for a fun wedding. He was communicative on the build up, the pre-shoot was really useful to put us at ease, and on the day he was exceptional - he took some really creative photos with us, whilst largely leaving us to enjoy the day.

He also didn't waste time directing our guests for photos too, which made the day much easier (and many commented on how good he was at this!). We were delighted with some of the early photos he shared with us, and can't wait for the rest - cannot recommend Chris enough for wedding photography.

Chris was absolutely incredible, we couldn't have found a better photographer to capture our special day. A family member had Chris at there wedding a few years before we got engaged and, as soon as our date was booked we knew we had to book him and luckily for us he was available. The process from start to finish from zoom calls during lock down to Chris arriving at our venue making us both feel comfortable during the full day there was nothing we couldn't fault.

He made every single effort to capture everything including when we asked him to take us to a poppy field two fields away which was recommended to us by our venue to take some pictures in the sunset. He was so happy to do this for us and without a moment to think we was in his car driving up a tractor track to get to the incredible view. We had a laugh and joke throughout the day and by the end we felt like we had known Chris for years.

We knew Chris was the perfect guy for our wedding photos as soon as we spoke to him. His style of photography and personality really won us over and he didn't dissapoint. In fact, he surpassed all expectations. Throughout the whole run up to our wedding Chris was communicative and helpful. We did a pre wedding shoot with him which really helped us to relax and allowed him to understand us as a couple.

The day before the wedding looked like it would rain all day but he gave us a call and reassured us everything would be fine and he had a back up plan if necessary. Just what we needed to hear! On the day of the wedding Chris was brilliant. He spent time with me and the groomsmen and really relaxed me with his easy going personality and sense of humour.

The same for the bride and bridesmaids! He organised our 100+ guests efficiently and got our formal, group photo, sparkler and confetti shots just as we wanted. On a couple of occasions throughout the night he quickly grabbed us to get some more beautiful and creative shots. Loads of guests also commented how great Chris was at being around the action discreetly and they all loved his personality.

To top it off, the next morning before we had even left the venue Chris had sent over a sample of 10 beautiful photos which we haven't been able to stop looking at. Can't wait to see the rest and can't reccomend him enough.

During those few days, we cannot be more grateful for his quick responses and positive attitude; we knew we were in safe hands.

On the day itself, Chris was absolutely fantastic! He burst onto the scene, bringing his passion, creativity, eye for detail, and banter to the bridal party and guests. He worked wonderfully with us all to ensure the day ran seamlessly, calmed a stressed Bride out when it all got a bit much, and was there to capture not only some of the most beautiful parts of the day but also some of the hilarious mishaps that happened along the way!

Truly a case of serendipity, we are so pleased and in awe of the teasers photographs that he has sent us showcasing our wedding day; we cannot wait to see the rest! We could not have asked for any more in a photographer, not only in professionality but also in regards to the amazing vibe Chris brings with him. Chilled, organised, authentic. Fantastic! Thank you so much! Kris & Sammy Sait x

We booked Chris for our wedding photography back in 2019 and have just recently had our wedding day and all we can say is that it has been a huge pleasure to work with Chris and have him capture our big day. Since booking Chris, he has been so amazing to work with, professional and friendly. We have already had a few teaser photos sent to us and all we can say is WOW, we cannot wait to see the rest! His work is amazing and would not recommend Chris more to anyone thinking of booking him as a photographer for an event.

My husband and I cannot thank Chris enough for perfectly capturing our wedding day. Chris is absolutely fantastic at what he does. He immediately put my husband and I at ease (we aren't natural at posing for photos) and made us laugh. The day after our wedding Chris sent us some "sneak peaks" which made us both emotional. I cried with happiness at Chris' beautiful work. Chris captured my husband and I beautifully.

The funny and touching moments. The sparkler shot even ended up looking fantastic, despite my husband purchasing the wrong Sparklers that only last for 15 seconds! That is how much of a talented, genius photographer Chris is. Chris is a genius at what he does. My husband and I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos to choose for the albums he will create for us. Wedding photography doesn't come cheap but if you want quality, perfect photography capturing your special day with a great guy; it is worth every penny investing in Chris.

Chris was our wedding photographer back in 2014. We fell in love with his photography at a wedding show. Not your conventional wedding photographer but that's what we loved. He has a wonderful ability of capturing all those natural moments. Whilst other photographers may be cheaper you honestly get what you pay for. Booking him was the best decision we could have made.

The photos are amazing and the album he produced is beautiful and top quality. He is also a genuinely lovey guy. He's done two more family weddings since and two shoots of us as a family. Book him. You won't be disappointed I promise!

His photos are beautiful and a quick look at the website will show you that. The one thing it doesn't show is what an awesome person Chris is. He is so much fun to work with, cracking jokes and making something which can be a bit awkward a lot of fun.

Anything you want, just ask and he will make it happen. He puts his heart into his work and wants to give you his best at every turn, making him a joy to work with. We will definitely be calling Chris if we ever need another professional photographer.

From the moment that we met him on zoom everything just clicked perfectly. We planned a portrait session ahead of the day to get comfortable on camera for Chris to get to know us a little bit; and we immediately got the feeling that he genuinely cared about our day and how we wanted to capture it.

On the day itself he captured some great natural moments while still allowing us to enjoy our day and spend time with our guests. He also took us away at just the right moments for a few individual sessions to capture some photography that we will treasure forever - the balance was just perfect.

His natural style of photography is what made us choose him over the traditional staged images. We hate "stand and smile" photography so when we met Chris, spoke to him and saw his portfolio, it was a no brainier! Chris took the time to get to know us beforehand with Skype calls and messages so on the day we were confident he knew what we wanted the photographs to look like.

We can't wait to see the rest of our wedding photos and from the tasters we have been sent so far, I imagine they're going to be incredible!

We had our special day on 11.09.20, a small intimate wedding due to COVID-19 restrictions, a day that was captured magically by Chris.

We wanted a photographer that was able to capture our story, someone that wasn't afraid to steer us instead of waiting to be steered, and someone that was comfortable to be around.

Right from the first enquiry, Chris was great to deal with, getting in touch with us promptly and being really clear on what we could expect from him.

He was also keen to get to know us and what we envisaged from the day. He followed this up with a more detailed follow up once booked, combining the photo ideas we wanted with his ideas using his previous knowledge of the venue. Throughout, he showed keen interest and a great sense of humour making us feel at ease. We felt like we knew exactly what to expect from the day.

On the day itself, Chris was there early ready to take bridal prep photos and was there to greet the groom when he arrived with the best man. He used his sense of humour to keep everyone relaxed before the wedding and built a great rapport with the guests too. Throughout the day, Chris showed fantastic energy and enthusiasm, taking great natural photos during the drinks reception capturing the happy faces of the guests, beautiful family portraits and amazing photos of the bride and groom.

Chris and Kimmy were our wedding photographers back in 2017, where they kindly agreed to come all the way from Leicester to Cornwall to shoot our wedding! We had previously met up for an engagement shoot which was a great excuse for a wander around a park and a giggle whilst Chris snapped away. The engagement shoot is highly recommended as I can imagine the shots from our wedding would have felt more wooden without meeting first and getting to know Chris.

You couldnt have really asked for worse weather on the big day, but the guys were so professional. Fortunately there was a 20min window of good weather chris had spotted and suggested a quick drive to the beach, making for some awesome pictures. Chris was literally ready for anything! The edited shots came through a short while after the wedding, having seen some teasers in the meantime, and WOW they blew our minds.

The day was captured perfectly, encompassing the wet weather but in such an artistic fashion. Some of the shots even made it into the south wests premier wedding magazine! An absolutely superb talent in his craft, whom I would reccomend in a heart beat!

I was so drawn in by Chris' display at a wedding show that I booked him that evening when I got home, with 2 years to go! I loved the moody lighting and the bright colours, completely different to the usual bland wedding photography you see, we knew we didn't want that, and we knew we'd made the right decision in booking Chris for our big day. Chris got to know us as the date grew closer which helped us feel comfortable with him, like he was one of our guests.

He was brilliant in making sure people were where they needed to be, so that we got the shots that we really wanted, he then blended into the background, keeping us up to date on where he wanted us and when, so we knew what we were doing too. This way we were able to chill out and enjoy our day with no pressure. Chris is a master of his craft, and can capture people's connections like I've never seen in photographs before.

Chris has been fab from start to finish. We had an engagement shoot and felt so relaxed and we received our images pretty much straight away and loved them.

In fact our favourite images were in the rain. Everyone commented what a great photographer we had and how friendly etc he was. We received 30 images the following morning, which was amazing to share with our family and friends before we headed off on our honeymoon. Shortly after we received all of our images 1000+ I have spoke to friends and their photographers took months to get images over.

BEST PHOTOGRAPER IN LEICESTERSHIRE We knew Chris was amazing based on his portfolio of work but we never expected our wedding photos to be as good as the wedding photography he displays when exhibiting. And the are! We only got married at the weekend and by the following day we received a teaser batch of our wedding pictures. We loved them all! Genuinely, his wedding photography is out of this world.

If you want something different, pictures that really capture those precious moments - Your perfect day is the place to go. His unique photography style, really makes him stand out from the crowd. If you're looking for a wedding photography in Leicester (even if you're further out, he's worth the journey) I would strongly suggest you visit Chris Denner first.

We can assure you, one you've seen his photography, no other wedding photographer will come close! From start to end, Chris and his team where subperb. He's great to get along with and he instantly made us feel comfortable and confident that he would help to make our wedding day special. On our wedding day, we had numerous guests approach us and ask where we found him.

Many even said he was the best photographer they've seen at a wedding. He constantly remained calm, knew how to work a crowd and was very quiet and suitable when capturing those 'natural' moments. This review honestly doesn't do Chris (Your perfect day photography) justice. Words cannot describe how happy we are. Thanks Chris for being the best photographer!

We have you lined up for our next big events; 40th Birthdays, Christenings and any other event we can think of as an excuse to get you to do the photography. Thanks a million, Craig & Stacy Oldham x
