Holmes Photography Studio LLC

Thanks again for coming out on short notice! It would good to spend some time with you and your family. Thanks again for the wonderful photos!

Great photographer, would recommend!

We chose Chris and his wife to take a few posed photos of us with our immediate family and then to capture our document-signing, ceremony and reception just as it all happened. With some sort of magic they did this without our being aware they were even in the room (except, of course, when they were taking the posed photos before the 100 guests arrived). They provided just what we wanted. The photos are beautiful. We would highly recommend them for their compatability and professional work.

I want to thank Chris and his staff for volunteering their time for the polar plunge to support Special Olympics. Your artistic creativity seem to capture every moment of the plunger jumping into the freezing water in February. Your dedication of over 13 years is deeply appreciated. Thank you

From the first time I spoke with Chris, I knew he was the photographer I wanted to capture my son's senior photos. My son can be a little too laid back about important life's moments and Chris let my son set the pace and had him smiling for the pictures like he hasn't smiled for pictures in years. The photos are exactly what I wanted and more important, my son loves the pictures that will remind him of Grand Ledge. We are having a hard time deciding which pictures we want for the larger sizes. Chris truly goes above and beyond. From traveling to get a background for a picture to re-creating a Mom/Son picture from when my son was 3. I could go on and on about how happy we are with everything!! Thank you Chris!

Chris does excellent work! He is wonderful to work with and we are very pleased with how our son's senior pictures turned out. I would recommend his services to everyone!

My husband and I could not be happier with the decisions we made to not only have our wedding at The Bridge Street Wedding Chapel, but also with hiring Chris and Mary to capture the photos of our big day! We had a request, that some photographers would not accept, that Chris and Mary executed masterfully. We have an 8 year old boxer, she is my baby, that I had to have in our engagement photos. Well they worked wonderfully with her and she is quite fond of them now. Much to my surprise she was also able to walk as a flower girl in our wedding at The chapel. We are beyond grateful to have found the Chapel as well as Holmes Photography. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!

Gorgeous venue, exceptional service and amazing photography! Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend Holmes Photography. They are personable and friendly. We felt comfortable with them taking pictures of us all day. Engagement and wedding pictures turned out better than expected. They were very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. They were even patient and managed to get great pictures of our constantly moving hyper dog! I would recommend them for any of your photography needs.

Chris is very easy to work with. He is very accommodating to quick scheduling and does excellent work. I would recommend him to anyone!

Our wedding was over 9 months ago and I still look at our pictures on a regular basis. Chris and his wife did a phenomenal job of capturing our day and I would not hesitate to recommend them. He was always available prior to the wedding to answer any questions that I had and always answered in a timely fashion. I tend to be photo shy and feel awkward when I get in front of a camera but Chris' calm demeanor helped to put me at ease. Things got a little chaotic after the ceremony while taking group shots but Chris was still able to get all the shots we wanted. He recommended that we wait until sunset to go back out for shots of my husband and I, and I am so happy we trusted him because they turned out absolutely stunning with the sunset in the background. We got so many pictures back that I feel like I get to relive our special day from beginning to end! And an added bonus is we get an annual session with him! If you are looking for someone who has an eye of art and what looks good, book Holmes Photography!

One of my main concerns about proposing over the 4th of July weekend was finding a great photographer who was affordable and would be available on short notice. After exhausting my efforts, I was pointed in the direction of Holmes Photography. I had 2 days to make this happen and Chris was on it! I told him what I needed and he had no problem delivering. He captured our moment perfectly while blending in with the action and allowing everyone to share in the fun. He was insanely professional, knew what we wanted, and turned out quality shots. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend his services!

Our entire experience with Holmes Photography was easy and enjoyable! It started off wonderful during our engagement session, where Chris and Mary were able to make us feel comfortable and capture us truly having fun. Neither of us were accustomed to having lots of pictures taken, but Chris and Mary chatted with us during the session, making everything look very natural. My husband and I were really flexible on where the pictures would be done, and the choices that were recommended fit us perfectly. We loved the pictures so much, that we decided to do a majority of our wedding pictures in the same locations! We had just as positive experience for our pre-wedding planning and working with Holmes Photography both for pictures and for their support with the chapel. They were very supportive of our relaxed approach to planning and offered suggestions along the way. I was particularly impressed with their ability to capture the fantastic pictures of all of our nieces and nephews. At the time, we had 8 young nieces and nephews as the flower girls and ring bearers. They managed the chaos so well! The pictures of the kids during the ceremony will be some of our favorites for years. I can't speak highly enough of the pictures we have of our wedding. Holmes Photography didn't miss any of the groups or actions we had requested. They also surprised me with pictures that I wouldn't have even requested. We have such a perfect timeline of our entire day, really captured all the best moments! Whenever I have shared pictures from Holmes, I get rave reviews and people are continually impressed with the quantity and quality. After the wedding, Chris still supported us with our relaxed approach to ordering our album. We hadn't been in a rush, and he stayed on top of helping us on each step (he was more proactive than we were!). We really enjoyed working with Holmes Photography for our engagement session and wedding day! Thanks!!

I first met Chris at the Lansing Bridal Show. I booked that day. My husband is a farmer and Chris was very willing to work with us on our engagement pictures, especially when they turned into a winter session and we had to wait for the snow. He also was willing to come out to the family farm to take these pictures. Then we had to move our wedding up by a few months and Chris worked with us on that. It was very important to us to have him for our wedding. He arrived prior to the ceremony along with Mary. They were able to get candid pictures of us getting ready. After the ceremony, we had a large bridal party and a lot of family shots. He also was willing to take pictures at the family farm again (these our some of my favorites). We loved having two photographers for the day and getting candid shots as well. My husband and I both think we take horrible pictures and we love the pictures they took. I can proudly display our wedding pictures which to me was one of the most important things. I would highly recommend Chris and Mary and plan to book them for future needs.

When we first met with Chris, he was warm, friendly and full of experience. We were not disappointed. Liz and Karah were wonderful. They were friendly, helpful and respectful. I asked that some items and some different photos be taken while we were getting dressed, etc and they were most accommodating to my requests. We took some fun shots along the way too. We have now reviewed our photos, they are high quality and very professional. The only thing I would say is that we could have had more close up shots of the bride, groom and bridal party, but in looking at the photos, I know they were trying to include background such as the stained glass or my dress or the lake as the golf club. All in all, I would say this was a very positive experience for us and our special day.

Chris is very easy to work with. He is very accommodating to quick scheduling and does excellent work. I would recommend him to anyone!

We contacted Chris @ Holmes Photography for my son's Senior Portraits after asking around and contacting other photographers in the greater Lansing area. We felt Chris was the best choice for us-- close to home, fast service and options to be as detailed or as simple as we felt comfortable with. Chris greeted us when we arrived and put my son at ease about "posing" for pictures. Chris listened to both of our ideas and explained the process to us. We completed our studio session quickly and comfortably and look forward to some outdoor and special locations soon!

Thank you for the awesome photos and with a deadline. I appreciate it!

Chris Holmes came to photograph my daughter's sweet 16 birthday party and I can't begin to say how happy I am with the results! He made everything so easy for us so we were able to relax and enjoy the event. The photos were amazing, fun, beautiful and Chris was so nice and professional! Having this milestone captured by him was priceless! I would highly recommend Holmes Photography!

Chris shot professional portraits for over 100 of our employees. He accommodated our multiple office locations and employee schedules to shoot our employee headshots. The pictures turned out so well that almost all of our employees requested copies! Chris is very responsive, always answering my emails within 24 hours, was always on time and finished our massive project on a very timely basis. If you need a professional and kind photographer that delivers great results, use Chris Holmes.
