I've been meaning to write you for several weeks to tell you how much we absolutely love the photos you took at our wedding. When the link to the website arrived, I had just gotten back to the hotel after my cousin's wedding and my mom and I stayed up until 2 am enjoying the photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos. You told me before the wedding that we would hardly know that you were there and it was absolutely true. You captured a lot of very personal moments on film that I remember, but I don't remember you being there, which means that you and Casie didn't interfere at all. You were both extremely kind and patient with our family and friends as well as completely unobtrusive, but you managed to capture all of the special moments we both remember (and a lot more that we were too busy or overwhelmed to take in). My favorite photos are the candids that you captured in the moment. Watching the slideshow of photos really makes me feel like I was there again. We feel like you captured our day exactly as it happened and we want to thank you wholeheartedly. I really appreciate all of your hard work and help! Please feel free to use me as a reference any time. I will definitely recommend you to any of my friends who get married in this area.

Holmes Photography is AMAZING! During our wedding, I had countless people come up to us and tell me how much they enjoyed our photographers. They complimented how they were never in their face, they just blended in with our families, and never intruded on any person's personal space. Now that we have our photos, we couldn't be happier. They are GORGEOUS! And this whole PASS site makes things incredibly easy for people like us, who now live in Virginia, have family in Michigan, Illinois, Alabama, and all over the place. Not to mention friends as far away as Alaska. All in all, Holmes Photography did an amazing, professional job. If I had to do it all over again, I would use them in a heartbeat!

Errin & Ben (Wedding Photography)
Chris has a great eye and knows how to capture the moments un-staged and unique. We hardly knew he was there except for the photos we wanted portraits of with family. Definitely contact him if you want to capture any precious moments in your life!

Kathy & Frank (Wedding Photography)
Taking photos of a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old is, let's be honest, kind of a pain in the rear. Nothing about kids that age is predictable. Despite the subject matter challenge, we ended up with a couple really good shots of our little ones. Chris is an experienced professional and I definitely recommend him.

Smallwood Family (Child Portrait Photography)
Chris is wonderful to work with. My husband and I rented the Bridge Street Wedding Chapel for our wedding and hired Holmes photography to capture our special day. They did just that!!! We have lots of beautiful pictures to choose from. I recommend Holmes photography to anyone needing professional pictures.

Kathy & Dave (Wedding Photography)
Holmes Photography was an exceptionally wonderful experience. Chris was very flexible in the various places my daughter wanted her senior pictures to be taken. His expertise and eye for lovely backdrops, lighting, and poses made for wonderful shots. He is very patient and relaxed as this was my daughter’s first experience with a professional photo shoot. At no time did we feel rushed or like we were just another client. Prices are very reasonable and for the professional quality of product and service the prices are actually unbeatable. He even allowed my daughter (future graphic artist) to design a few of her own green screen shots. We are very pleased. We will use Holmes Photography again in the future for other family shots... you should too!

Chelsea Bonofiglio (Senior Portrait Photography)
My husband and I could not be happier with the decisions we made to not only have our wedding at The Bridge Street Wedding Chapel, but also with hiring Chris and Mary to capture the photos of our big day! We had a request, that some photographers would not accept, that Chris and Mary executed masterfully. We have an 8 year old boxer, she is my baby, that I had to have in our engagement photos. Well they worked wonderfully with her and she is quite fond of them now. Much to my surprise she was also able to walk as a flower girl in our wedding at The chapel. We are beyond grateful to have found the Chapel as well as Holmes Photography. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!

One of my main concerns about proposing over the 4th of July weekend was finding a great photographer who was affordable and would be available on short notice. After exhausting my efforts, I was pointed in the direction of Holmes Photography. I had 2 days to make this happen and Chris was on it! I told him what I needed and he had no problem delivering. He captured our moment perfectly while blending in with the action and allowing everyone to share in the fun. He was insanely professional, knew what we wanted, and turned out quality shots. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend his service

Would highly recommend Holmes Photography. They are personable and friendly. We felt comfortable with them taking pictures of us all day. Engagement and wedding pictures turned out better than expected. They were very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. They were even patient and managed to get great pictures of our constantly moving hyper dog! I would recommend them for any of your photography needs.

Chris was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were very satisfied with how courteous he was and so willing to help. He made our big day an unforgettable one. Definitely going to have him do future photos!

Jessica & JC Schumacher (Wedding Photography)
Not only did we hire Chris as our photographer for our wedding, but we also were married in their beautifully restored Bridge Street Wedding Chapel. They were very knowledgeable, helpful and laid back during the entire wedding day. By hiring Gay & Chris you are sure to have all of the important moments covered both with the guys and the girls being photographed while getting ready for your big event. Even though there were two photographers present throughout the day, I really didn't even notice they were there most of the time! When I looked back at many of the pictures, I don't remember being photographed and I think that is a testimony to their professionalism and years of experience! They captured so many great moments that I am having a hard time narrowing down my choices for my wedding album--what a great problem to have! I would highly recommend them to you!

Beautiful and could not be any better. Quality photographer equals quality results. Directory proves that point!

Nick Hess Session and Family Groups (Senior Portrait Photography)
Chris Holmes is easygoing, fun and has a great eye for getting the pics you wouldn't think of. Our two year old tends to be pretty skeptical of photographers, which makes photo shoots hard on my husband and I -- we usually end up being stressed and sweaty by the end of it, praying we got at least two or three good ones! Not this time...Chris was looked at by our son warily upon arrival, but within minutes he'd made our son comfortable and ended up getting so many great photos that truly captured the essence and personality of the toddler we know and love. I give ten stars, two thumbs up -- you can't go wrong with Holmes Photography!

Amy Burton - Tate at 2 (Family and Child Portrait Photography)
What a fun photo shoot! Our usually camera shy toddler didn't even realize she was being photographed. Great people to work with and what a relaxing setting! Will definitely use them again.
