Chris is one of the most attentive photographers ever! He went out of his way to make sure our family photo (13 of us) was not only professional but fun. He brought props with him and drove to our home. He then met me at work to hand deliver a thumb drive with our photos on it. The photos turned out gorgeous even with 13 beastly people who should NEVER have their photos taken. Chris is the bomb dot com!! More...

What an absolutely amazing experience to be able to work with Chris.

He blends into the crowd of guests as if he is there to attend the event not work it, but trust me he is working Very hard. The love that Chris has for what he does all comes out in his photos. His Personality, His Energy and the Passion he has is second to NO one!! The photo's he will leave you with for eternity will leave tears of joy in you'r eyes and the purest of smiles on you'r face. My wife and I have over 1000 amazing pictures that we get to look at for the rest of our life's from our wedding day. When I agreed to hire Chris to take our Wedding photos I was excited because of the huge recommendation he came with from a different professional photographer. I thought okay cool someone I can trust with such a big event and very important pictures. That recommendation did not even come close to how amazing this man is. He had our whole crowd laughing and interacting as he was going around taking pictures. Capturing every perfect moment for us. I am kind of a shy person and my wife wanted to do a first look at our wedding. I let Chris know that she wont get the reaction she is hoping for out of me if other people are standing anywhere in sight that I can see them. Chris was so patient at waiting and great at getting guests out of sight so that she would have her perfect pictures. If you are thinking about having pictures taken of just yourself or if you need pictures of a thousand people do yourself the favor and hire Chris!! Don't worry about hiring that other photographer that might be a little less expensive trust me you will regret not having Chris's pictures. I will be able to tell you I told you so I promise.

I have worked with Chris for over 7years from my wedding, maternity, newborn and now family photos! Every time he photographs us our pictures get better and better. He is extremely passionate and takes pride in making clients feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. I can’t say enough good things about him and his work! If I could give him 10 stars I would. Can’t wait for the next session! More...

We are a family of 9, from 1 to 79, Chris was able to make each one of us feel comfortable with having our pictures taken, amazingly! What a wonderful experience, outdoors, in downtown historic Sanford. Our family pics are so great to have. Children grow and change so quickly, don’t hesitate, have Chris capture your family in this moment in time!After the photo session, I expected to wait a few weeks, but he said a few days, and I was so excited to see the pics the very next day, this was awesome!I highly recommend this photographer.

I can’t thank Chris enough for everything that he did for us.
We met him for the first time on our wedding day this Christmas Eve (2018), he was there on time and immediately made us feel comfortable with him. All our previous communication were through emails, phones calls and text as were going to be traveling to Orlando for our ceremony from West Palm Beach and he always made sure he responded right away.
Our pictures are AMAZING. He direct us and captured beautiful moments in different areas of the garden.
Even though our ceremony was on Christmas Eve, he made sure to send us a few pics that were already edited in less than 2 hours. By the 26th we had our entire web gallery done and he was ready to ship our flash drive.
We are filled with gratitude for the amazing experience with him, our great pictures and how fast he worked on everything.
We would 100% recommend his services and we are definitely going to be using his services again for future events.

I was so impressed with Chris's work! He is very understanding and keeps great contact. Our ceremony got started a little later than planned and I was worried, but when I saw the pictures, everything came out beautiful! He was able to corral our family members for some brief pictures, and was able to capture some breathtaking sunset photos of me and my husband ❤️. More...

Over the last few years Chris has photographed our engagement photos, wedding, my father’s 50th birthday party, and our maternity photos, and he did an amazing job! Not only did he vividly capture all of the important moments, but he is an absolute delight to work with. He always goes above and beyond to make sure he captures everything exactly the way you want, and every picture really is a price of art. He is incredibly talented and we will most certainly be utilizing his talents as our family photographer for years to come. I would highly recommend using him at your next important event! More...

We had the pleasure of having Chris Gillyard for our photographer. We met him at a bridal expo and could tell within the first few moments of our discussion that he was our guy! He was professional, to the point, artistic, and had beautiful photographs. He was extremely helpful with guiding how we should pose in the photos to get top quality photos for our engagement and wedding photos. Because Chris is such a great vendor, he knew all of our other vendors which made our nerves decrease because we knew they would work together well. We have gotten many compliments about our photographs from friends and family. We plan to continue to use Chris in the future for other events as well! He is highly recommended! More...

He is a very talented photographer. During the festivities he even stayed patient while others took pictures. I would highly recommend him to anyone for anything!

Could not be happier for choosing Chris. From the first meeting Chris portrayed as much excitement for our wedding as we had envisioned. His creativity and knowledge of his chosen profession created some of the most beautiful images I never thought could actually be pictures of myself. The images made me feel like a model in a wedding magazine shoot. Chris captured amazing formal and traditional pictures as well as the fun, funky, and artistic journalistic shots we were going for. Chris was able to grab great shots the whole night and the best part was you never even knew he was there yet his partner and him where everywhere. Chris's pictures tell a detailed story of a very special day without a single word written. Would highly recommend Chris to anyone. Not to mention the value Chris offers compared to others in the Orlando area with a quality that sits in my opinion with the best of the best.
Thank you Chris! More...

My daughter's wedding was on a beach. Sadly it started to lightly rain but we continued with the ceremony. Our photographer, Chris, was everywhere. He took some amazing pictures and he took advantage of the rain to create some beautiful images. His enthusiasm was contagious and made for a great experience.
Also, he is located in Winter Park, and our wedding was in Miami, Florida. He had no problem coming down not only for the wedding but for the engagement pictures in the Florida Keys. Amazing pictures!
Chris' pictures are beautiful, but the photographer himself is an amazing person. More...

I can't even begin to tell you how awesome Chris is as a photographer! He is absolutely amazing! He's super laid back, has an amazing sense of style and is so easy to work with. My wedding album is the envy of all of my friends who have recently married. He really went above and beyond the terms of our contract to make sure he caught every moment of my wedding and reception. If you live in Florida - you can't go wrong with Chris. He has a journalistic style - so your pictures won't be the traditional poses - or the family group shots. He truly captured the heart and mood of my wedding. I'll be calling him in the future to do family portraits! More...
