Christopher Kitchen Photography Full Description
When choosing us to photograph your wedding you are not just paying for somebody to turn up on the day and take some photographs, with us you are investing in a service that begins well before you walk down the aisle. We are a husband and wife team with a love of weddings who genuinely care about you and your day. This starts with getting to know you when you first contact us and continues through your preparations so that on the day itself you can relax and trust that the story of your day will be beautifully captured. We invest a lot of time into planning your day and care that everything runs smoothly for you. We have a brilliant questionnaire which we send over a couple of months before your wedding, this helps us learn what’s important to you. We will follow this up with a pre-wedding meeting, this is a perfect opportunity to discuss the final details including your timeline, group shots and any other surprises that you may have in store! Been a team of two photographers, this gives us two pairs of eyes so that you get a variety of angles for all the big moments of your day. The second pair of hands is also valuable in a variety of other ways throughout your day, helping to keep your day flowing by gathering people for group photographs, straightening your dress (and tie) so it looks perfect in your photographs and generally acting as an extra bridesmaid! It has been said that “Chris is the best bridesmaid!”

Couldn't have asked for better .
When we were choosing our wedding photographer we were quite nervous. How do you know how to choose the people that are documenting the most important day of your life ! But straight from the get go Chris and Rachel made us feel comfortable . After having an initial video call, it was clear they weren't pushy, and they were willing to answer my many number of questions perfectly , and understood the vision of what we wanted to capture on the day. We were sent a questionnaire closer to the wedding date , which not only helped with their own needs but also the schedule of the day etc for ourselves . On the day they were both so helpful and welcoming, some guests were even surprised they weren't friends of ours personally. The photos we received captured so much more than we could have imagined. We got a brilliant array of photos for our "Sneek peek" within 24 hours of the day , and i couldn't believe how amazing all our photos came out . I don't think we'll ever be able to thank Chris and Rachel for the magic they managed to capture . The effort and work gone into everything they did for us is priceless ! We would recommend them to anyone looking to book a photographer

Couldn't have been happier after choosing Chris & Rachel
We knew Chris & Rachel were right for us when we first browsed through their gallery and everyone in their photos looked like they were genuinely having fun - candid, heartfelt and even a bit silly pictures is exactly what we wanted. It is what we got, and so much more. Chris & Rachel were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, from the initial chat they kept us updated on the process and prepared well - even with a spreadsheet and everything - to make sure all the important moments (and surprises) were captured. During the day they made us camera-shy people feel comfortable, and even the bridal party commented how easy and fun they found the process. We got a preview of the pictures only days after the main event, and the full gallery made us cry happy tears all. The photos are full of life, love and fun, and I am eternally grateful to Chris & Rachel for now being a part of our story forever. If you're thinking of choosing them, stop thinking and just do it - they will capture your best day in the most beautiful and creative way possible, capturing its spirit and all its emotions through the lens.

PLEASE READ - We’d like to firstly say to Chris and Rachel you are the most lovely, caring and kind people we have ever met. Chris & Rachel are unbelievable at what they do. They are so calm and supportive throughout your day and go above and beyond making sure they get what you have asked for and making sure our dogs were included with all the celebrations which meant so much to us as a family. They captured our day beautifully and I cannot highly recommend them enough to EVERYONE! They take what matters to you and they certainly deliver! Our photographs are just what we wanted natural and told a story of our day. Chris and Rachel were apart of our happiness and magic during the day sharing it with them was an absolute pleasure. We will treasure our photos for the rest of our lives and our photos retell the best day over and over. I cannot stop looking at them! We cannot thank you both enough for your hard work and commitment to making our day so special. All our love Mr & Mrs Storr

Fantastic photographer
The most incredible photographers, went above and beyond what we could have hoped for! Totally professional but also completely personal and approachable. Brilliant with communication, and always asking if we needed anything. Fast to process the photos, the quantity and the quality was incredible! Access to photos is safe, secure and easy to use. We couldn't recommend enough!
Response from the supplier
Thank you Faye and Matt for this lovely review! We have had so much fun getting to know you during our time together on both your engagement shoot and your wedding day, a day we will always look back on with very fond memories. Wishing you both every happiness for your future together! Chris and Rachel x

Perfection
I don't even know where to start about how amazing Chris and Rachel are! I knew instantly after our first chat that I needed them to photograph our wedding. By far the easiest choice in the whole process!! They are so caring and really listened to what we wanted but also gave us ideas we would never even dream of!! The engagement shoot was beautiful, and they are so relaxed they put you at ease (even me who usually hides from photographers). They were amazing with our 1 year old, who was even wanting to dance with rachel on the dance floor! By the end of the wedding day they didn't feel like hired photographers they felt like family friends! On the day my guests commented on how seamlessly they blended into the wedding with the other guests. They were quite simply - perfect!
Response from the supplier
Wow, thank you so much! We simply had the best day with you all and are honoured that you chose us to capture your beautiful day. Thank you for your super kind words, this means the world to us! Once again we’d like to wish you every happiness for your future together! Chris and Rachel x

Amazing photography & Lovely People
We booked Chris and Rachel for our wedding and they were Amazing! On the build up we shared a video call where we realised how lovely they are. The communication was perfect from the very start and continued throughout. On our wedding day Chris and Rachel arrived very early to ensure they caught every precious moment. During the day they worked tirelessly and non stop. What really stood out to me was at one point I saw my one year old niece on the ground playing with a flower in the gardens. As I was pulling out my phone to take a picture I saw Chris running over and grabbing the most beautiful / natural shots. Chris and Rachel covered everything all day and didn’t leave until last orders at the bar. They are absolutely lovely, a great team and hard working. We have the best photographs to remember our special day with and we feel so lucky to have been able to book them. It’s been mentioned before in previous reviews but it’s very true. Chris and Rachel felt like our friends taking pictures. We cannot recommend Chris and Rachel enough! Honestly they are lovely and Amazing at what they do. Thank you Mark & Holly x

Best Photographers ever
Chris and Rachel were amazing from start to finish. Our pre wedding shoot was the ideal opportunity to get to know this amazing couple. Once our wedding day approached they were so relaxed and made a huge effort for us and our family. They blended into our wedding party and made sure we had the best photos ever. They stayed until late which meant they could get photos well into the night as well as the day. We have just received our wedding photos and we couldn't have wished for any better. The quality and volume of photos taken were outstanding. They made people welcome and my guests were so relaxed around them that it made for some of the best photos. We cannot recommend them enough and I will be sure to post reviews where ever possible. Thank you so much for being part of our day.

Fabulous choice using Chris & Rachel
Warm & friendly yet thoroughly professional. Huge benefit having 2 photographers for the price of 1, separating at certain parts of the day to capture as much of the day as possible. Both arrived nice and early to capture pre wedding shots and stayed until late in the evening. By 10am the next morning (Christmas Eve) we had a small preview album sent over to us, which was lovely to share with family and friends so soon after the day. Highly recommend!!!

Captured our day PERFECTLY!
I could not recommend Chris and Rachel enough, our wedding photos came back really quickly and they are amazing! There are so many lovely moments that were captured that we didn’t even realise happened and it has been so nice to relive the day looking through the pictures. Chris and Rachel were at all times kind and patient, and so friendly. They made all of our guests feel at ease and our portraits of family and friends are so special. They also had fantastic ideas on places to take some really spectacular pictures of my husband and I which ended up out of this world! Communication was great throughout the process and all of my guests have commented on how great they thought the photographers were. I am blown away by the service they provided and I know we will look back on these pictures for many years to come with such joy. Thank you to you both!
Response from the supplier
Aww, thank you both so much for this amazing review! Your day was an absolute joy to capture and we loved every minute! It’s so lovely to hear the kind words from your friends and family. The ceilidh was one of the highlights for us, so much joy in everyone and it was great to join you for a dance too. Thank you once again for having us along, wishing you both lots of happiness for your future together! Rachel and Chris x

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Genuinely there is a moment from every wedding that is unique and memorable, some we remember for the emotion of the day and the words mentioned in the speeches, others we remember because of the massive party in the evening and the moves on the dancefloor. It always amazes us how every wedding is so unique, the people, the atmosphere, the details, all of it! We love jumping in to each wedding and take fond memories away from each one of them!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, Relaxed, Genuine, Creative, Thoughtful.

What about your business are you most proud of?

We are proud of the relationships we have built with clients, their families and the occasional pet! We love hearing feedback from our couples after each wedding and knowing we have captured the story of their day for them so that they can sit with the pictures and a glass of wine and relive their day over and over again.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

As photographers we would say our number one tip is to meet your photographer before your wedding. You will spend most of the day with your photographers close by and it is really important that you have somebody that you get on with and can trust. We like to meet all of our couples prior to their day, we head into each wedding knowing our couples and what is important to them, we know from feedback from our previous weddings that this approach is valued highly and helps people to enjoy the day to the fullest!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Recently we spoke with a bride about her unique lobster earrings! “She’s your lobster” this relates to an episode of the popular TV show Friends in which reference is made to lobsters falling in love and been mates for life. This couple were truly made for each other!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We believe the experience with your photographer starts from the moment you get in touch and it is important to get to know each other before your wedding. If your date is available, it begins with an informal chat over the phone or in person where possible. For all weddings we include a pre wedding meeting to discuss all of the unique details for your day, this is a great way to get to know each other so that on the day itself Rachel and I can capture your true personalities while you enjoy every moment with minimal distraction.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

It's so difficult to choose just one but we do love a good confetti photo!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

"Chris, we want pictures of us on the bouncy castle!" This was simply the best fun, we would highly recommend a bouncy castle for a wedding, it is not for everyone but if you are considering it just say yes!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

We live in England so varied and unpredictable weather is standard, the weather is out of anybody's control so our advice is to just enjoy the day whatever the weather! We bring lighting with us so that if we do need to work indoors we have complimentary lighting available. We will embrace all conditions and use them creatively to our advantage so that you will end up with a collection of photographs to be proud of.

Describe how you got into photography.

Chris - I fell for the craft of photography at school and developed my technical ability at college and university. I was lucky enough to learn photography on film which taught me to capture the moment the first time as there are no second chances. I now work with digital equipment but still value the lessons learnt on film. I love the ability to capture moments in time forever and enjoy getting creative with composition, angle and lighting. Rachel - Living with Chris and having cameras laying around the house it was inevitable that I would pick one up myself eventually. When our son was born in 2014 I loved photographing him on a daily basis, capturing his milestones and achievements. This has progressed to joining forces with Chris and working together capturing moments for other people as they celebrate their own major milestones in life.
