Weddings by Chris Leary Photography

We can’t say enough about Chris we are so thankful to him for being such a special part of our wedding! He was such a pleasure to be around, which made our wedding day much less stressful. The photos that he took are gorgeous. We love them and will treasure them forever, and our family and friends have nothing but great things to say. He is an amazing photographer and we are thrilled that we chose him to capture the happiest day of our lives. It was a true pleasure working with him …

My husband and I are extremely happy with our experience working with Chris Leary for our Sept 10 2011 wedding. From our very first meeting Chris has been easy to reach, friendly and professional. When we needed to change our wedding day schedule, due to an incident with another vendor, Chris was more than accommodating and flexible. His laid back personality kept us relaxed and at ease throughout the planning process and the "big day". We have just received our photos, and they are even more amazing than we had hoped! My husband and I are very impressed by Chris' ability to catch each and every important moment and person- without even being noticed. His unobtrusive photojournalist style allowed him to capture the most natural, authentic and emotional images of the day. We would highly recommend Chris Leary!

I was one of those guys... One of those guys who altho attended near 40 weddings (5x as a groomsman), sulked and scoffed at wedding photography with rolled eyes and compact barf bags stashed in my wallet ready to dispose at moments notice like a passenger airbag... That was until it was my turn... And as I learned with my beautiful bride, in-laws, family with extended family, and participating friends near and afar, what is most significant on your wedding day is "the experience." No matter how grand or small the affair, guests are left with the emotional stamp of your union. And who is more important towards the memory of the experience than your wedding photographer: Chris Leary... In fact, it's almost difficult to see how easy Chris evokes, inspires, and captures all the emotion and moments without intrusion. He has an innate ability to become apart of the wedding, see it thru the eyes of a family member, a dear friend, and allow you to become open, vulnerable to happiness. From the night before to the bridal party preparation, vows to walking the aisle as a couple, first toast to first speech, and first dance to the first day as newly weds, gives clarity to "a picture is worth more than a thousand words," and "words cannot describe..." His awesome photo-journalistic style and sharp attention to what's around him even shows what you may have missed... In the end, when you are left speechless, you'll always have Chris Leary's photography to recall the words of your experience. And I am one of those guys...

Chris is an amazing photographer! After seeing the photos on his website, we immediately made an appointment to see his pictures in person and then we knew that he would be our wedding photographer. His pictures are all so beautiful, artistic and we love how he captures the "unposed" moments through his photojournalistic style. Chris was a pleasure to work with. He was flexible in scheduling meetings given our hectic work schedules. He also met us at the venue before our wedding to get familiar with the location. He is responsive on email and answered all of our questions with great knowledge and professional insight. The day of the wedding, Chris arrived early to prepare. He accommodated our requests and traveled with us to take pre-ceremony pictures of us at a nearby neighborhood and park with breathtaking views of NYC. He captured all the highlights of our wedding with pictures that we will forever cherish. We finally finished our albums and they came out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We were so glad to have Chris a part of our special day. We will forever remember our wedding day through the pictures captured by Chris and we wouldn't of had it any...

Chris is such a wonderful person. We planned our wedding five hours from the location and booked Chris because we liked his website. We only had the opportunity to meet Chris once before the wedding. At that meeting, my husband and I felt like we made a new friend. On the day of the wedding Chris was incredibly friendly and personable, but most importantly flexible. Our family and friends were impressed by his professionalism and patience. By the end of the wedding my husband and I felt like we acquired a new member of the wedding party. Chris was easy going but took the time and effort to make sure every moment of our special day was remembered without being obtrusive or pushy. My husband and I definitely recommend him to other people.

We had a wonderful experience working with Chris, and we are thrilled with his photography. Of all our wedding vendors, he was the easiest and most pleasant to work with. We knew we had made the right choice after we saw the shots from our engagement session in Central Park. Chris didn't boss us around at all, he just captured the two of us interacting and being our normal selves, and the results show that. During the wedding, they were completely unintrusive and were never in anyone's way, but each time I looked for one of them, they were right there, catching the moment. When we saw all our pictures about 6 weeks after the wedding, I was amazed at the tiny private moments they had captured without either of us even noticing they were there. We love all the pictures and I have no idea how we'll choose only 80 to include in our album. We enthusiastically recommend Chris Leary to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer!!

We had the pleasure of having our wedding photographed by Chris Leary. There are a couple factors that influenced our decision to hire him for our wedding. First, his work that we saw on his website was artistic and so beautiful, and we especially loved his use of light. Second, when I spoke to him, he was really knowledgeable, professional, but at the same time very easy to speak to and friendly. As soon as I was done speaking to him, I knew that he was the one. He made me feel so comfortable and reassured that everything will go well. On the day of the wedding, we were running a bit late for the photography session, but Chris was so nice about it, which portrayed his flexibility. When we met him, he was so pleasant and both my husband and I felt immediately at ease. It was almost as if we had a friend taking our photographs. He had great ideas about where and how to take pictures and he didn’t make us feel rushed. We had a real good time and after the session was over, we were really satisfied with how it went. Of course, the final proof of his work was when he uploaded the photos on Pictage, sent us the link and the CD, and we developed the photos. I’m not exaggerating when I say that we fell in love with the photos. They were a work of art and we couldn’t be more pleased with them. Everyone who saw the photos couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful they are. There was so much diversity in the scenery, our poses, and the use of light. Every picture was breathtaking. In conclusion, I would recommend Chris Leary to any bride and groom looking for an excellent photographer. You can be sure that he will capture the most magical day of your life in the very way you want to remember it: perfect.

Chris Leary is a awesome person! I won his services through a contest he was running. Ofcourse when I received the email that I won I thought SCAM... but he lived up to his word and provided me with services of a paying customer. You would never know I was a contest winner winning free services. He provided me with 2 photographers for the day of and excellent service. He worked with me going to two different locations the morning of & was so nice about everything. By 7am the morning of everything was running smoothly & they were the first vendors on site!! His work has left me with memories of a life time!! I was truly blessed to win the contest.. but even more blessed it was Mr. Leary running the contest!! If you decide to use him you will not be going wrong. His pictures are awesome and he will work with you to give you what you want!!

Chris Leary is an amazing wedding photographer! From the minute my husband and I met him, we knew we would have him photograph our wedding ~ we just clicked. Chris is so nice and very professional. He took time to get to know my husband and me - we did an engagement shoot a few months prior, which was great. Chris was completely unobtrusive on our wedding day, yet got every shot we wanted. We had nearly 900 photos to choose from, and since each one is better than the next, it's so hard to pick our favs (we're still deciding, 5 mos later!). Everyone is in awe of our photos...they're so natural and warm and really tell the story of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the results and I highly recommend Chris!

Chris was such a helpful,amazing,sweet and kind person!He helped us out during this entire thing. Since we are from out of town,he even suggested a Chapel that opened in NYC.Very professional! pictures turned out AMAZING!I am Highly recommending him! You wont find a nicer photographer!

Chris Leary's work is fantastic and he is a pleasure to work with. We interviewed 10 other photographers before choosing to work with Chris. My husband is an artist and works with photographers a lot so I trusted his opinion in choosing Chris. He really captures the beauty of the day in a unique and special way. In addition, he is so incredibly easy to work with. He is super responsive on email and phone. On the day of the wedding he is very easy going and unobtrusive. Since receiving our pictures back we have had a very hard time picking our favorites since there are so many great ones to choose from! Overall, a great experience.

I cant say enough good things Great work Great personality to work with AMAZING!!!!!

Great professional service. I loved the photos.

Chris Leary was extremely supportive, easy to work with and just what we were looking for when we were searching for wedding photographers. He was the right price and had the right atittude. His communication was excellent and so was his flexibility with price and packages. He is an amazing observer and captured the most precious moments of our wedding day. He was always there without being in your face! He truly made our day even more special. My mother died 4 months before our wedding day and I was so worried that the family portraits were going to make me hysterical. Chris Leary was understanding and compassionate and gently made the process smooth and enjoyable. We strongly recommend Chris Leary for your wedding or any other event!

Chris and his assistant were wonderful. They made it so easy for us, we wanted amazing photos but on the day of we were just excited to be married and have fun. Chris made sure we got a ton of amazing shots in a timely manner. I absolutely adore the pictures! My husband and I were very impressed with Chris and his work.

Chris is an incredible photojournalistic photographer and we were absolutely thrilled with the pictures he took of our wedding! Apart from his incredible talent, he is kind, funny and a pleasure to work with. My brother-in-law booked him for his wedding this fall and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful photos of their wedding day.

By far, the best wedding photographers. Often times I hear people complain about their wedding photos or I see photos of other people's weddings that fail to impress, but not so here. We had two pro photographers who were thorough with their formal shots, but really focus on documentary style candids. The shots look like they came out of a magazine. Incredible! They have a video service and 8mm film package too, but we didn't take that. It was a little more than some of the other photographers, but seeing what we got I'd say this is absolutely a value.

As you have probably read in every wedding planning article, the photography is one of the areas that you should never cut corners. You spend months planning the perfect day...down to the smallest detail. When the day finally comes...it goes by in a flash. This is why you need to hire someone that is going to capture all those details that you ever so carefully planned out. Not only did Chris capture those details that make up the day, he captured the emotion and feelings that go along with your dream wedding. When you work with someone who truly loves what he does for a living, it shows in their work. Chris was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. He took the time to understand what we were looking for in a wedding photographer and delivered exactly what we expected. We would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a top notch wedding photographer who loves what he does.

It was a pleasure working with Chris from pre-wedding to post wedding. He spoke with us prior to the wedding to ensure he knew the shots that we wanted taken, visited the location before the wedding, and captured all of the moments of our wedding, plus sent us incredible shots to review less than a month later and worked with us patiently guiding as we chose our favorite shots for our prints and album, which was a challenge since there were so many incredible pictures to choose from. At the wedding he was laid back and unobtrusive, but gently guided the family portraits allowing everyone to get their pictures as well, and candidly captured all of the wonderful moments of the day. We keep looking back at our pictures with a smile, pleased with our choice of wedding photographer. We highly recommend Chris to anyone.

Chris Leary is a true find! He went above and beyond listening to my exact wishes. Chris captured every moment without making his presence known. From beginning to end he alleviated any concerns. Everything was done with calmness and refinement, which demonstrated his style and professional experience. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any wedding or event. Anthony DeJura
