Brides Say it Better

This is the best photographer to work with on ANY BIG EVENT in your life. Our engagement and wedding pictures were incredible!! Chris is NOT an in your face photographer, you won't even know he's there!! He made my wife and I feel at ease during what most people say is a very stressful time. Chris has many package options and is very flexible with what your needs in a photographer are. You will not find a better, friendlier, talented photographer in the Wilmington area than Chris Lang. Chris is very knowledgeable and skilled at his profession. He makes the colors in his pictures jump out and grab hold of your eyes, not to mention the black and whites look like pictures from the era before color photography. Can't wait to see our after wedding photos!!! When it comes to value, he is the best bang for your buck. Where other photographers only give you a thumb drive, Chris offers more options. You will not be disappointed with the quality, they look incredible!!
