"Booking a photographer for our wedding was overwhelming because of the enormous amount of options, styles and packages that are available to couples. When we were interviewing photographers, I kept coming back to our interview with Chris because I just had a gut feeling that we were going to vibe really well. I am so glad we went with him because I don’t think anyone else could have helped us feel more comfortable on our wedding day. He really stepped up for us by taking the time to learn about the Vietnamese tea ceremony that we had in the morning, and he was with us through our Catholic ceremony into our reception at the Omni downtown (three different venues!). When I did my bridal portraits with him a couple months before the wedding, he coached me through posing and my pictures turned out beautifully! A few months later, my husband and I bought a house and we asked Chris to come back to take our “first home” pictures. It was like no time had passed at all and we easily fell back into our groove goofing off and taking pictures with our cats. All of our pictures came out looking natural and fun and that’s a huge testament to how comfortable Chris made us feel. We absolutely recommend him and will continue to ask him to come back for our future milestones!"

Ceelo Creative was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first interaction, he was friendly, professional and open-minded, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Chris did a great job of giving us lots of options for couple photos and was happy to get lots of photos with our family members. The lighting in our photos is simply stunning, and really captures all the special moments of our day. Highly recommend them to any couples who are looking!

Sarah & Bryan | Nov 2025

From the moment we first reached out to Ceelo Creative, their communication was easy, involved, & consistently helpful. The quality of their work was absolutely gorgeous and perfectly suited our wedding day style - it felt elevated & truly captured the beauty and joy of our celebration. Ceelo Creative went above and beyond, arriving early & being more than accommodating in squeezing in all the photos we requested. We are over the moon with the breathtaking images they delivered that we will cherish forever.

Susan & Logan | Sept 2025

We loved having Chris as our photographer! My husband is not a fan of pictures & Chris did a great job helping to guide him through the process. We love how our photos came out, and it was a quick turn around. He even had a drone! Several family & guests got a chance to chat w/ him & everyone kept telling me how cool my photographer is; he fit right in for our big day. Would definitely hire again! Before we hired him he read our love story on our website, and that really made him stand out from the crowd.

Brianna & Blake | June 2025

Ceelo Creative was everything we could've asked for in our wedding photographer - and then some! His communication was clear, timely, and effective throughout the entire process. On our big day, Ceelo effortlessly made everyone feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. He also handled the chaos of the day with skill and tact, changing gears on a dime when needed. We are thrilled and absolutely over-the-moon with the stunning photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding.

Alexandria & Jaiden | May 2025

From the start, Chris went to great lengths to ensure he understood our vision & would fully capture our wedding day. He is very knowledgeable & flexible, working with us to capture all of the important moments by thoroughly planning in advance & suggesting types of poses/tips on how to pose (for two people who don't usually take many posed photos). He was able to capture intimate moments w/o interfering & made everyone feel comfortable. We are so happy with the photos we received & would hire Chris again!

Zehava & Joseph | April 2025

Chris was an incredible photographer to work with! We booked him for our wedding and the photos are stunning. Throughout the process, Chris was very patient, supportive, and informative. Our planning sessions made everything smoother, and having an experienced vendor can make a big difference!

Chris made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He gave direction, let us laugh and was somehow everywhere all at once. If you want someone who will give you editorial and candid all in one go, Chris is the way to go!

Nathan & Dana | Feb 2025

Chris was an awesome photographer for mine and my husband's wedding! We jived from the very beginning! He was very open to anything we wanted to do and was very flexible. I had concerns about my acne showing up in pictures or my skin being too pink. But he assured me it would not be a problem and my pictures turned out absolutely amazing! My only gripe was not knowing what I wanted when it came to pictures. I gave Chris creative liberty and he did not disappoint! We also had a lot of fun! Highly recommend!

Shannon & Nate | Sept 2024

Incredible photos! Chris was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier with his photography and the unforgettable moments he captured!

Andrea & Caleb | Sept 2024

The process of finding a photographer can be hard & stressful. But once we found Ceelo, the stress went away! While we were attracted by his portfolio & reasonable pricing, once we chatted it was an easy choice. He was so attentive to our requests, which made the process enjoyable! We bounced ideas off each other & he understood our vision! The photos came out excellent! He was able to capture the emotions of the day & the candid's we got were *chef kiss* These were memories captured in time so beautifully!

Kierra & Mike | May 2024

"I booked CeeloCreative to be my wedding photographer and I am so happy I did!! I love his style and creativity. Every single photo (and there’s hundreds) is absolutely beautiful. They are such a perfect representation of what our wedding day was like and I am forever grateful to have those photos to look back on. I gave him several inspo photos and he made sure we did all of them! Aside from the amazing photos, Chris was so easy to work & communicate with leading up to, during, and even after the wedding."

Corey & Melanie | Oct 2024

"Chris did an absolutely wonderful job capturing the memories of our wedding day! He made everything fun and easy, and helped ease a lot of the day-of stress. His demeanor makes it easy to relax and just be in the moment, where he was able to capture genuine emotions/moments, rather than forced/staged scenarios. We absolutely will be recommending him to friends and family in the future!"

Stephanie & Wyler | Mar 2024

Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we're so grateful he was there to help capture our beautiful day."

Annabelle & Jakob | July 2024

"I booked Ceelo Creative less than a month out from our wedding and he did a fantastic job! He was organized, kept us on track taking photos and making suggestions on locations/poses/etc, and was a fun and friendly presence. Plus the photos are great and his price reasonable. Would book again!"

Hannah & Tyler | Dec 2023

"I am so glad that I picked Ceelo for our wedding photographer! I looked at several different ones and his pictures stood out to me the most. I thought they were creative and thoughtful. He loved all the ideas that I had and worked with my now husband and I on making them work. Ceelo has sent me several sneak peek pictures and I am in love with them and can’t wait to see the rest!! Love his work so much. If you don’t hire him, you’ll regret it!"

Sadie & Leland | Oct 2022

"Chris and Manny did an incredible job! They completely nailed the photos and were super patient and supportive! They’re fairly priced, professional, and made taking photos feel natural. My husband and I tend to get very awkward with taking photos, but they made our wedding photos look magical! I couldn’t recommend them enough!"

Jade & Alex | Oct 2022

"Chris and Manny did such a great job capturing our special day. They made sure to get exactly what we wanted/envisioned for our photos. We just got our sneak peeks and I am amazed. They were so patient throughout the hectic process of wedding planning and the actual day itself. I highly recommend them for capturing your special day. You won’t be disappointed! :)"

Kaylee & Chance | Oct 2022

"We hired Chris for our wedding and I can’t even begin to express how wonderful he was! For starters, I’ve never really had pictures taken of myself and was super unsure about my bridal shoot, but Chris made me feel so comfortable and relaxed from the very beginning.

We were also dealing with intense winds the whole night, but he was patient and worked so hard at getting the perfect shots. He captured every moment beautifully and we will forever be grateful that we found Ceelo Creative!"

Krista & Daeton | Apr 2022

"The fact that I was able to find someone on short notice was a small miracle in itself. I was beyond impressed with Chris and how wonderful he was to work with. At the end of the evening, my husband and I remarked on how great he was; we even had several guests reach out to express how they wished they had Chris for their own wedding. When I saw the final gallery I was speechless and in tears! Ceelo Creative captured our wedding perfectly and we will forever have these priceless pictures of our day!"

Gretchen & Trip | Sept 2021

"I found Chris and his team through Zola and after chatting my husband and I both knew he would be an integral and perfect part of our day and we were right! Chris and his team were prompt, kind, thoughtful, and had plenty of experience taking both posed and candid shots. He caught the best parts of our day! I had so many family members comment on how impressed they were that Chris took photos and then blended back into the crowds and he was so professional. When we got our photos back they took my breath away with how stunning and vivid they looked. He captured the joy my family and friends felt on our wedding day and also managed to capture the goofy moments too! At one point during the wedding I got overwhelmed with the emotions and choices to make and he gracefully stepped in and made the photo decisions for me and I was so grateful to him. I'll look on these photos forever and remember how his work made our day special for years to come. If he's available for your wedding you absolutely need to book him!"

Derrick & Monica | FEB 2024

"Working with Ceelo was a wonderful experience! He is unlike any photographer I’ve worked with before. Extremely attentive to every small detail, he really captures moments that are beyond pictures, they’re art—art immortalized in a single image. It’s refreshing to see yourself so elegantly through a lens.
Besides his artistic ability, Ceelo always ensures that YOU come first. Sometimes getting in front of a camera can be intimidating, but when you work with Ceelo it all feels natural."

Kiersten | Portraits

"Chris with Ceelo Creative was a pleasure to meet and work with! We worked together on a styled shoot and he not only captured beautiful pictures of the display cakes that I provided, but he also captured amazing behind-the-scenes shots of the set-up of the shoot, showing just how thorough he is and how seriously he takes his craft. He was very personable and professional, and I look forward to working with him again."

Julia | Frostin ATX

"Working with Ceelo Creative on your side is a great decision! We received astonishing photos that we love to share on social! The photo sharing platform Ceelo used was seamless with downloads and easy to use! We would love to have Ceelo Creative return to 71 West to capture more memorable moments for clients!!"

Amber | Boudoir

"Wow oh wow! I cannot say enough about my experience working with Chris! Being new to modeling, I was a little nervous but I can honestly say the session with Chris exceeded my expectations.

If you are thinking of getting in front of the camera, I highly recommend taking that leap. I can guarantee you won't regret it!"

Happy Mom :) | Graduation

"Shooting with Chris was my first experience with anything model-related and he made me feel like a PRO. I have never felt more at ease, confident and powerful in front of a camera. We played around with props and dozens of different poses, which made the experience so much fun and resulted in a beautifully versatile photo set. I will be turning to Chris for all my future photography needs. He has a natural eye for capturing an entire story in one pic while making you feel like a work of art yourself."
