My mentoring session with Chris Rettman Photography has taken my photography skills to the next level. He makes editing easy to understand and his 10 years of experience allows you to bring any question, reassuring you that he has been there and has the tools to help you improve.
My Husband and I hired Chris as our wedding photographer in April 2026. Due to a venue change, we reached out to him with short notice and to our very pleasant surprise he was available on our date! We had two meetings with Chris prior to our wedding going over what we wanted, timing, etc. In those meetings I could tell this wasn’t his first rodeo, he knew what to ask, brought up ideas I hadn’t even thought of and gave very helpful tips! On the day of our wedding (as many brides are) I was stressed hoping everything would go as planned and Chris BLEW MY MIND with how professional, personable and down right amazing he was! He went above and beyond, making every moment pleasant and enjoyable and setting me at ease. He captured our special day perfectly and beautifully and I am so grateful to have had him as our photographer! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Thank you, Chris. You made our special day unforgettable!

Neither of us are really picture-people and I was honestly getting a little nervous for pictures leading up to the wedding, but Chris made us feel comfortable, natural, and made the picture-taking process fun! We will definitely be hiring him for other big life events!!

I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! Chris is awesome, to put it simply! He's incredibly talented, trust-worthy, down -to-earth, kind, professional, affordable and diligent. I'm always thankful that he makes time to handle our Real Estate photography! Way better photos than some other so-called 'professionals'! Thanks, Chris!

Chris is one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. I'm not the biggest fan of getting my picture taken, but Chris was extremely kind and patient, and super professional. He actually made the experience enjoyable. The pictures were terrific! Really happy with his work and I definitely recommend him!
