Bendet Photography

Chris was the the first and only photographer we looked at to photograph our wedding and we couldn't be happier. Chris was easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process from engagement pictures to the wedding day. He was always available if we had any questions or concerns. On the wedding day, with all of the stresses and craziness that is going on, Chris played a huge part in having things go as smoothly as possible. During the ceremony and reception I hardly noticed he was around snapping pictures. Our reception was at the Foundation Room in the West Bottoms and Chris found some fantastic locations around that area to take the Bride and Groom shots...they ended up being my favorite. 4 weeks after our wedding, Chris invited us to his studio to view a slide show presentation he had put together with music. It was an amazing thing to be able to relive our entire wedding through those pictures. His prices seemed a little expensive at first, but with the experienced photographer you are getting and the quality of the pictures it is well worth it. It is definitely worth it to make it a part of your budget. We truely couldn't be happier!!

Chris did an amazing job with our wedding photos! He spent a lot of time researching creative venue options for our wedding shots. He planned for the day based on all of our imput and we couldn't have been happier. He has a very creative approach and is able to make a story out of your pictures. Chris was very professional and needed no extra direction the day of, which made the day very stress-free for us.

Chris was an incredible photographer! He is experienced, creative, and has an incredible eye for beautiful shots. He definitely listened to our desires and vision for how we wanted our pictures to turn out-and boy did they turn out! They were the most beautiful wedding shots I've ever seen-there was not a single one that we weren't pleased with! My family and friends can't stop raving about the photos. At times, getting in touch was a challenge, but the pictures were well worth it! Best wedding pictures I've seen!

We were thoroughly impressed with our images. They were a true representation of our special day and told such a lovely story. We chose the Photo wall with our package and were so happy how it turned out. Our guests loved it and have had many laughs looking through the pictures. I want to thank Chris for putting in such effort on everything to do with our wedding and for blessing us with images we will cherish for life.Thank you

I was over joyed and satisfied with Bendet Photography. He has an amazing eye for detail and his editing skills are perfection. He captured my day and I have perfect photos to remember this joyous occasion. I look forward to having him photography future occassions and family portriats!

Chris and his wife, Dawndy, are absolutely amazing! I knew I wanted to hire him from our very first phone conversation. In fact, he was $500 more than another photographer we liked, but I wanted to hire Chris so badly that I gave up buying Starbucks for a year to make up the difference! =) He had lots of experience photographing at our venue and was excited to be back for another. He was very open to some of the ideas I had and willing to take some photos like favorites of mine I found on the Internet. Our wedding party was very impressed with Chris and agreed that they never had as much fun taking pictures as on our wedding day! We rented a trolley and drove around the Westbottoms for pictures...Chris had scouted out the area multiple times the week prior and had taken pictures of each location to show us what he was thinking! He realized the night before that there was some construction that may slow us down, so he arrived 30 minutes early to ensure we'd have enough time. I was a bit concerned at first because we only had him for seven hours (which made planning the order of reception events a little tricky), but he ended up staying a little longer and the time factor wasn't even an issue. It's only been twelve days since our wedding and we ALREADY have the disc with over 1000 images. They are AMAZING--better than anything I could have hoped for!!!!! He also put together a slideshow with music that displays about 100 of the photos and burned that to CD as well. I couldn't be happier with the way our pictures turned out. I would recommend Bendet Photography a million times and will probably head back his direction for baby pictures in a few years! =)

Chris and Dawndy were so fantastic to work with! At first, I'll admit, his prices were a little out of our range. But when he was the last photographer we had talked to that day, and we talked to him for over an hour, we were hooked! We got along so well with him and his portfolio was so amazing that we had to say yes! And the day of the wedding he was great. Super fast but still got awesome pictures and all of the ones we threw at him that day as well as the ones we had talked about in our pre-wedding meeting. Some of the candid/random shots of moments we didn't even know about are our favorite shots from the day. He's well worth the price tag, we can't wait for our prints!

Bendet Photography is awesome! Both our engagement and wedding pictures are amazing, and better than I could have dreamed! Chris is always looking for fun, different places to shoot. He is creative, easy and fun to work with and he does all he can to make sure you are more than satisfied with your pictures. I wish everyone would book them because they are outstanding in every way, AND affordable!! We could not be happier, and now we have beautiful memories to last a lifetime. You will definitely miss out if you pass them by~

We loved Chris! He shot exactly the style of pictures we were looking for and how we wanted our wedding to be portrayed and remembered. He was so fun to go out and take our engagement session with, as well as on our wedding day! He worked with us throughout the whole process to make sure that everything flowed easy on our end. He put together a photo guestbook for us that is such a fun memory to have. We received lots of compliments on him and very much appreciate all his heard work and creativity.

Chris does amazing work! I enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him. His vision and creativity gave me the most beautiful wedding photos. Far beyond my expectations! For the length and quality of service, his pricing was very competitive. I felt he understood our style and successfully incorporated it into our wedding and engagement photos.

The quality of the photographs is amazing. Chris was great to work with on the wedding day. Very trustworthy and serious about his art.

Chris was an AMAZING photographer to work with! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone! We will definitely use him in the future for major family events! He for sure won all our future business and we can't wait to use him again!

I was very pleased with Chris' professionalism throughout my big day! Not only did he take very unique photos, but he was also very calm and worked as hard as possible to get the best photographs for me! I would highly recommend Chris to any bride looking for a unique and creative photographer that also wanted a nice guy to work with.Chris also designed a guest book for me using my engagement photos. It was very cool and unique and added to my big day! My guests are still talking about it.

Bendet Photography was very professional and flexible. We checked with every photographer in the KC area and we chose Bendet. I would recommend Bendet Photography to everyone.

He did a great job and was easy to work with. He took great outdoor pictures and was creative with them.

They are such wonderful people and had a very unique and consistent way of capturing our style. We loved our pictures!

Chris is fantastic! He takes photos in the photo journalism style, which is so much better than boring posed photos. He is also very artistic and creative about the shots. He and his wife are really sweet, and want to help you get the best photos possible. He is worth every penny!

Chris and his wife make your wedding a very special event. The pictures were exactly what I had etched in my mind from my special day. They are professional, modern, and hip! WONDERFUL!!!!!
