Chris makes everyone feel at ease and captured the best of our family! He is fun, skilled, efficient. I couldn’t believe the shots he got in such a short time.

A tradition in the family is Chris Ocken. He photographed the wedding of my oldest sister, I was able to secure him for my wedding, and now my younger sister has engaged him to capture her special day. Chris is capable, entertaining, committed, and has a superb eye. We are ecstatic with his work and the images in particular! You want someone who will record all the nuances and the important moments, especially if you put a lot of effort into your wedding. We are confident that Ocken Photography can do it for you because we frequently return.

I could not recommend Chris' work more more - not only did the pictures turn out even better than I could have hoped, but he and his assistant Mona were delightful to have with us on our special day.

Chris Ocken is a family tradition. My oldest sister had him photograph her wedding, I managed to snag him for my wedding, and now my little sister has hired him for her wedding. Chris is professional, fun, engaged, focused, and has an incredible eye. We absolutely love the photos and couldn't be happier with his work! Especially if you've put a lot of work into your wedding, you want someone who will capture all the details and the special moments. Ocken Photography will do that for you -- we know, because we keep going back.

Chris is one of the coolest guys I have ever met! He was incredibly flexible and easy to work with! On the day of our wedding, he brought his sister Jenn along. She is a BLAST too!! Our pictures turned out absolutely fabulous because we were so calm and had FUN! Chris has this goofy personality that can make a stone faced person want to grin! Thank you a Chris and Jenn for an amazing experience! We will definitely spread the word and hopefully be able to use you in the future!
