“Thank you for being part of our wedding. We are still talking and raving about how great it was to have you as part of the wedding! We couldn’t have done it without you both!”

“My husband and I have loved working with Chris and Lynette. The first time we used them was for our engagement and wedding photos. They were so helpful and patient with our large wedding party and really captured our vision of how we wanted our photos to look. We had such a great experience that we came back to Chris McKenna Photography for family photos with our 2 dogs. We were hesitant to try to do photos with dogs but Lynette helped us find a great location and provided a lot of guidance for posing as a family. The family photos far exceeded what we expected and we got them really quickly as well. We will definitely be working with Chris McKenna Photography again because they make it such an easy experience and deliver great photos every time.”

“My husband and I were photographed by Lynette for our wedding engagement. Lynette is an extremely talented photographer and has such a sweet and calming presence when she is working with you, that you just know you can trust her creative process. I am a nervous subject when getting photos taken, and she made me feel so comfortable, that for once I actually enjoyed being photographed!  When I first received our photos, I couldn’t stop staring at them! They were perfect and looked exactly how I had always envisioned wanting my engagement photos to look. My husband was laughing because I wouldn’t stop going back and looking at them for the next few days! I recommend Lynette and Chris to all of my friends and family when they are looking for photographers you can trust to capture beautiful moments in your life.”

“If every photographer could be just like you guys, then no one would need to worry. You guys totally rocked it!

We got so many complements on you and we couldn’t have done it without you. We thank you so much for helping our special day be a perfect fairy tale. We both loved the first look–how it gave me butterflies. Tyler kept complementing your work-we are so pleased and love you both.”

“I would highly recommend Chris McKenna for anyone who wants to work with a photographer and videographer who is honest and works very hard to accommodate their clients. They have done the photography and videography of my son’s wedding (April, 2009) which also included his engagement pictures on the waterfront in Tacoma and a movie to be played at the wedding of the bride and groom and family members. They also helped us put together the most beautiful wedding album I’ve ever seen (and I’m in the wedding business as a florist and see many albums, pictures, etc.).

They also did an on location session of my grandson’s first pictures. They came to the home so the baby could be in his own bassinet and surrounded by his own blankets, toys, etc. I thought this was very caring and the pictures are just beautiful. This company is A#1 and I will only use and recommend them to anyone who needs a first class photographer and videographer.”

“Chris is a very professional photographer who was very easy to work with. He was on time for all meetings and was very organized on the day of our wedding. I would recommend him to everyone I know. He has a great customer service attitude and his number one concern is his client’s satisfaction and happiness with his work. We were very pleased with the quality of his work and the time he spent to get the right shots on our big day. We were so glad we decided to go with Chris McKenna for our special day. No regrets, only total satisfaction.”

So thank you for adding that special touch!!!”

wonderful photographs

“Chris did an excellent job of making our wedding photo session special. Thanks to him, what we thought would be one of the more stressful parts of my wedding day turned out to be fun and enjoyable.

Our wedding photographs are wonderful! Not only do we have excellent quality photo’s but we’ve created cherished family memories.

Our family is thrilled with our photos from Chris. Of all the photos we’ve had taken over the years, these are the best. They will be special to our family for years to come.

Chris was the perfect choice for our small family wedding. “
