My goal is that years from now, even your friends and loved ones who could not attend the wedding will be able to feel the emotions of your wedding through the images I create.

About you: You’re not afraid to think outside of the box. You feel alive and at home in the outdoors. You want to get married in a special, meaningful place. Maybe it’s a barn in the Maine countryside, a personal property that has been in your family for generations, or somewhere wild and free and beautiful.  All that posed stuff isn’t really for you, you want to capture the genuine moments and the raw emotion of your day.

About me: I’m Chris, an adventurer, traveler, outdoor enthusiast and professional photographer. I’ve spent the last 20 years photographing hundreds of weddings and elopements around the country and the world, from the Faroe Islands to Freeport, Maine. I’ve completely designed my life to live with as much as adventure and travel as possible. My busy season is usually spent photographing weddings along the coast and in the mountains of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and the rest of New England, and I hit the road the rest of the year, traveling and photographing from my van or overseas. I am looking for the unique client, the ones who aren’t afraid to get their dress a little muddy or feel the wind in their hair, the ones who want to take a risk and do something out of the ordinary. No trail is too long, no mountain to high, no destination too far.

Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to begin!! Chris was the wedding photographer (not to mention engagement shoot photographer) of our dreams. He has an incredible eye and a creative mind to make stunning photos happen. Debatably as important, he is wonderful to be around. You need someone who will make you feel comfortable and at ease on your wedding day while also helping to usher things along- he is that person. Forever grateful we found him, we will cherish our wedding photos forever.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Not only is Chris incredibly skilled at what he does and puts in 100% effort at all times throughout a long 12 hour day but he's also incredibly personable - everyone loved him and felt extremely comfortable around him while he was capturing all of the special moments. Chris was insanely flexible, was up for any task and took charge when needed in order to get our dream shots - including a car chase photo in the middle of Acadia National Park on a Saturday afternoon in August. We are incredibly grateful for the moments Chris captured and would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

TLDR: Chris Bennett is one of the most talented photographers I have ever encountered and he is an EXCELLENT choice for whatever photography needs you may have.

Full Story: My husband and I got married in the Faroe Islands in December of 2023 and we knew we needed a photographer who was going to be both adventurous and excited about our chosen destination. The Faroe Islands are definitely off the beaten path and the landscape is breathtakingly beautiful in all seasons, but in winter the weather can be unpredictable and at times harsh. When I first reached out to Chris, he was immediately interested as he had always wanted to visit the Faroes and he was so enthusiastic I knew he was right for our wedding day. His website showcased stunning photos that looked both curated and real, like the people he photographed had forgotten he was there and their honest moments were captured with Chris' talented eye.

We heard a lot of horror stories from friends and family that are eternally disappointed in their wedding photos. There was no way we were getting it wrong. We discovered the incredible talent of Chris, scheduled a phone interview, and when we hung up we knew we had our guy.

Chris made us feel comfortable, or rather, made us feel like we were catching up with an old friend. He perfectly captured our personalities and our surroundings in the amazing Acadia National Park. If you aren’t persuaded by the reviews, his portfolio speaks more convincing words than I can fit in this review box. This is the guy you want for your event.

Chris was so so amazing. Not only was he easy to work with leading up to the wedding, responsive and dedicated, but on the day of he was simply perfection. He made me and my spouse feel so comfortable and was absolutely prepared to take the best shots at our venue. He researched the best locations beforehand and on the day of was ready to take all the greatest photos. He also was very open to any suggestions whenever we had ideas and fit right into our wedding. We hate having our photo taken and he made it feel natural. He also got us our photos back in less than a week - though we were also one of the first weddings of the season so we got lucky he wasn't backed up! :) Lastly, and most importantly, the photos he took were SENSATIONAL. They perfectly captured everything about that day from the decor to the colors to the happiness and fun we had. After the wedding, the only thing you will have besides memories are these photos, and you will not go wrong in choosing Chris.

Chris goes above and beyond. He jumped into bushes, climbed dangerous rocks, battled hurricane winds, and trekked 12+ miles to capture our love. Seems inconvenient? Not for Chris. He had a smile on his face and always made us feel like friends instead of clients. Wondering about the quality? The end-product is breath taking and captured the feeling of the day to perfection. These images will be in our home forever. Simply put, he should be your wedding photographer. Period.
