Bear, DE
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

Hey! I offer a photo-journalistic style with a dynamic twist to provide high-quality images that couples will treasure long after they’ve said “I do.” Couples working with me can receive their final high-resolution images in the form of digital files, prints, and Albums. After photographing many weddings over the years, I know the importance of capturing your most important moments in an authentic and creative way. You deserve photos that are full of life, personality, and creativity.

Chris is the first vendor we booked and we are SO glad that we did! Chris treated us as a friend, not just a customer. We greatly appreciated his patience and openness both at our engagement shoot and our big day! We had periodic rain on our wedding day and he was able to adapt and get so many amazing shots and some phenomenal night time photos also! We are so glad we had Chris as our wedding photographer and highly recommend him!

D & J DJ Service

Bear, DE
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,195

I own a team of DJs that vary in style format and price. I sit down with every couple ( if possible) and customize a program that focus on you and your fiance's style. We show you many different styles so you can hand pick the PERFECT DJ for your special day.

From our first meeting with Don, we knew D & J DJ Service was the right choice for our wedding. He took the time to understand our style preferences and walked us through the equipment and sound quality we'd have on the day, which gave us total peace of mind. Our DJ Greg was incredible—he kept the energy high all night and really read the room to play exactly what our guests wanted to hear. Communication via email was smooth throughout the planning process, and they made sure every detail felt personalized just for us. Greg's mixing and song selection made our reception feel like a party tailored to our taste. We can't recommend D & J DJ Service enough if you want a DJ who actually cares about making your night special.

Awarded Best of Zola
CT Artistry was by far one of the best choices I made for my wedding day! Christine was able to help answer any questions and made suggestions for me and my skincare routine during my trial run for the makeup. Because of her suggestions, I ended up with a healthy glow on my skin and less wrinkles so I didn't have to wear concealer at all for my wedding! I was thrilled about that since I wanted to have my freckles still show through and have a more natural look for the pictures. Even my husband, who prefers when I don't wear makeup, said I looked like me while highlighting my best features. Not only that but her skincare recommendations are something I've continued since then. She also did the make-up for my sisters and friends in my bridal party (even including my older sister who had reservations since she has sensitive skin). She was able to provide make-up for her without bothering her skin at all. Thank you Christine for everything on our special day!

Her communication style is quick, laid-back, and often quite humorous, which puts couples at ease during the often-stressful wedding planning process. The quality of her work is bright, creative, and simply fun - she has a knack for finding the most beautiful locations on a property to capture stunning, memorable shots. I highly recommend Creative Image Weddings to any couple seeking talented, personable wedding photographers.

Deerfield was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, detailed, and truly exceptional. The entire team was there for us throughout the entire planning process and day-of, ensuring everything went perfectly. They took my vision and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
