Chris Baker Evens Photography LLC - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chris came through for the library once again! On short notice (2 weeks) he came out to one of our programs and photographed our families, various toys, and the physical space. Chris was fantastic to work with! He worked with me on our shot list, and consulted me throughout the photo session to make sure he got the images we needed. The photos were returned to us quickly and they are perfect for our needs. I hope to work with Chris again on any other photo related projects! Thanks!

Chris Baker Evens took photos of Spiral Q's (the organization I co-run) 19th annual Peoplehood Parade last fall. We are over the moon for the work he did. As an organization that produces around 5 community parades each year for 22 years we have come to realize that it takes someone very special and skilled to reflect in still photography what we experience in these events. Our parades are always moving and shifting and fluid, frequently resulting in photographic documentation that is a bit chaotic. Chris was able to give us a wide variety of beautiful photographs that show how lively the event was while focusing in on the people, and the moments within. We received his photos very quickly after the event. With these high quality photographs we can promote the event in the future and gain further support for this longtime community event while also highlighting the messaging of the participants. Big thanks to Chris! Highly recommend!

We asked Chris for a simple wedding ceremony video and he delivered above & beyond our request! He listened to our vision and was very eager to learn about the different Orthodox traditions that we wanted captured during our ceremony. Chris was very professional and easy to work with, responded in a timely manner, and absolutely worth the money! Would definitely hire him again. 5 Stars!!

It was WONDERFUL to work with Chris for our wedding in West Philadelphia. Chris was professional, friendly, unobtrusive, and thorough from our first meeting to the last portrait. He was very organized -- he knew exactly what questions to ask us to help us articulate what we wanted, and and the process was easy.

It is obvious when looking at the photos that Chris helped all our guests feel relaxed. He captured intimate moments in a way that allowed everyone to be totally themselves. This was also true for us, the bride and groom...there are a lot of nerves involved in a wedding, but Chris helped us to feel supported.

The final photos are exquisite. We are working on a physical album of our favorites to share with our family and friends...especially people who could not be there with us. My grandmother, who could not join us for our day and was feeling sad saw the photos and exclaimed with joy "oh it's like I am there!" That's really a testament to Chris's work.

We are so grateful!!

Chris was fantastic as a photographer. He got some great portraits for my website, and now has taken pictures for two public events I've hosted. He is talented at capturing the feeling of intimate moments and the architecture of grand spaces. And Chris excels at taking pictures that give the feeling of an event. Chris has become my go-to photographer in Philadelphia, and I highly recommend him for your events.

Chris has a talent for really capturing relationships and emotions and creating beautiful images. It was such a pleasure for our family to be photographed by him over the holidays - he made us all feel comfortable! We'll treasure the photos from that day and I look forward to using some in my political campaign.

Not only is Chris wonderfully talented, but he uses that talent to document communities working together to regain their power. He has tirelessly supported our fight against a pipeline project that threatens our community and many others, capturing impactful images to help raise awareness.

Chris was able to fill in on very short notice for an event at our library. He was extremely pleasant to work with throughout, and totally got the requests I gave him - we wanted two very different, very specific things regarding the photos, and he nailed it on all fronts. We wanted photos of a baby space we installed, which is in a Carnegie building with high ceilings and hard to capture in it's full impact. But, he got some excellent pictures! The other was a baby dance party. This particular event turned out to be high-energy and the babies were having strong feelings, and also were in constant motion, so a challenging event to photograph. On top of that, we had a family who did not wish to be photographed. With moving targets this can be difficult, but it is very important to us to respect the privacy of families. Chris was able to get excellent photos of the event, without including the family who wished not to be pictured. He also got the photos back to us VERY quickly! Thank you thank you Chris!

We had the pleasure of inviting Chris twice to photograph first a family event, and then to take a portrait. He is so wonderful to work with - he is efficient, fun, great with lighting, and just a delight. There should be many more stars to describe working with Chris.
