Christopher Luk

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chris. He captured our wedding celebration beautifully from start to finish. He began the relationship by meeting with us, getting to know us, and determining what our goals and preferences were, both for our engagement photo shoot (which was also fantastic) and wedding photography. He provided recommendations while also respecting our ultimate choices where they varied, demonstrated flexibility by accommodating several date changes over the course of the pandemic, and planned ahead for contingencies to ensure the wedding celebration day went smoothly. Terrific photography, very organized, and easy to work with.

Finding a wedding photographer, especially having no prior experience or knowledge, can be a challenge in itself. Chris was exceptional, he went above and beyond our expectations. He captured our wedding exactly the way we envisioned. We stumbled across Chris while looking through wedding venue locations online. It was a photo that he took of another couple's wedding that got our attention, which eventually led us to his portfolio. At the time while searching for a photographer, we kept going back to Chris' work because it really caught our attention. His talent and work speaks for itself. His skill in photography was what ultimately decided it for us. The way he captures a moment, an emotion through the lens is beautiful. From the moment we reached out to Chris, his first questions were to get to know more about us as a couple. We really appreciated that. Chris was completely understanding with any questions or concerns that we had. He was very professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He really made us feel as though everything was planned out, things were looking up, and our day was going to work out exactly as we pictured it to be. On the day of our wedding, Chris went above and beyond. He helped direct our poses, recommended great locations, and kept track of time. Chris was super friendly and approachable. He chats with you like a long time friend. He checks in with you every now and then to see if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciated how understanding he was to our time and budget. Once we received our photos, we were floored by how beautiful they turned out. We loved them all, it's hard to pick a favourite! We would highly recommend Chris if you're looking for a wedding photographer. And we are looking forward to hiring Chris again when the opportunity comes up. Hope this review helps another couple who's looking around for one!

If you want the smoothest wedding (and the best day of your life) you HAVE to hire Chris.
I reached out to him as soon as I was engaged (2 years prior to my wedding) and he was our rock throughout the planning process. Any question we had - whether it was photography related or not he was there to help the best he could - he had great suggestions for make-up, ceremony/reception venues, even sign language interpreters.
Chris and his team were fun to work with - they knew how to make you laugh and make the photos look natural. I love how they capture the emotions of the day in a candid-looking way. He was easy to work with and flexible. Chris is super responsive - I don't expect someone to answer all my emails right away, but he was right there when I needed him - answering all my querstions and calming my nerves throughout the process.
But what I LOVED the MOST about Chris is his organization! As soon as we told Chris we were looking at a January wedding, he instantly came up with a schedule - down to the minute - (actually 2 schedules with different options) for the day to optimize sunlight. THAT WAS AMAZING! He worked with us to incorporate all our ceremony/reception needs. That schedule was THE ROCK of the wedding day -- it made planning everything else a breeze! As we looked for other vendors, Chris became our standard - they had to be able to work with Chris and his schedule, provide the same level of customer service, detail and care.

Chris made our wedding day stressfree and easy. He provides so much more than memorable photos - he's there to guide you through the whole scary and overwhelming process of planning your wedding.

We were recommended to Chris by a friend who had received Chris' services for his own wedding. Even in our first communications, Chris displayed his experience and expertise of the wedding planning process. He displayed incredible knowledge about the scheduling process and outlining suggestions based off of our limited knowledge of what we wanted at that point. He took initiative to offer suggestions that would optimize our engagement and wedding photos, including studio spaces to rent, locations for engagement shoots, and well-considered suggestions on wardrobe. His sessions were engaging, humourful, professional and made us feel well-at-ease knowing that our sessions were being treated with dedication. We would recommend Chris to anyone seeking to make their wedding photography experience a unique, easy, and masterful experience.

I loved working with Chris. We didn't even bother checking out the competition. He makes all of your problems go away. He will work with you to figure out details and make sure you know exactly what you need.

Amazing photographer, makes the shoots so comfortable and fun, incredibly skilled, professional, creative, experienced, lots of advice that goes beyond just the photography during the planning process

Chris has a been an amazing blessing in helping us plan our wedding from the very beginning 1 year prior to the big day. His positive demeanor, professionalism, ability to work in very fast paced dynamic changing conditions (dealing with different personality types and ability to resolve issues during wedding planning and day of, as well as follow up) really made both the wedding planning and big day a very memorable special event.

I have taken photography classes and did a wedding course as an option so I do understand what goes on to make your clients happy. Chris gives excellent instructions of what to wear, how to pose, how to relax, and most importantly how to have fun during the shoot. He’s very flexible, accommodating, and understanding putting the wedding bride and groom first.

Remember out of all the vendors, the photographer is the main one you will need to work with very closely during all 3 phases (planning and engagement shoot, wedding day, and follow up review of photos).
Chris Luk delivered on all fronts flawlessly.

One story I want to share was approximately 4 weeks prior to the wedding, my fiancé and I were very stressed and I emailed Chris to update him our situation– he provided very reassuring words things would be great and encouraged us to look forward with joy to the big day.

You get what you pay for – everyone from friends, family, co-workers, and wedding guests have been commenting how amazing our photos turned out. We were more than impressed with quality of photos, delivery, execution and overall experience.

THANK YOU CHRIS LUK~!

Through a friend, Chris was recommended as our wedding photographer. He's passionate about his craft and it clearly shows. He was proficient and organized. He will help layout the timeline and the scheduling to make sure you get all the pictures in all the settings that you want. He was also a brilliant source for anything wedding related. You need nut-free cake? He's got 2 bakeries. Need a make-up artist that can also do hair? No problem, he can make the introduction.

He does make you feel quite comfort during the shoots. He's also flexible on the day of the wedding to roll with any last minute changes.

Planning a wedding in itself is quite stressful. Many times we would just let things slide away. But, Chris will help you steer it back by focusing on things that needs to be done.

It also helps that helps he is also a movie nerd. It sure provide plenty of comic relief between "smile like you're happier" and "good, good, good."

Chris was amazing to work with! Very professional and experienced. He was flexible and accommodating with all the shots we wanted done and managing out expectations. He was easy to reach by email and offered many helpful suggestions. He was very professional yet made everyone laugh all while capturing some amazing shots. The pictures were beautiful and we are excited to show them off in our home! I would absolutely recommended Chris to anyone looking for a photographer, you will not regret hiring him!

My fiancee and I travelled to Toronto to have our engagement and pre-wedding photos taken. We contacted Chris via email and he was quick to explain his style of work and the photography services he provides. Chris was patient and professional in working with us to schedule our two photoshoots during our short trip to Toronto. He was also very helpful in the planning of the shoot.

We met Chris for the first time on the day of the shoot. During the shoot, Chris was very professional. He gave us clear instructions and directed us on how to pose to create each shot. Chris kept the atmosphere relaxed and created a good vibe for us to feel comfortable during the shoot.

The photos were delivered timely after the shoot. We loved how the photos turned out! Chris captured our natural smiles, expressions, and interactions. We now have a large collection of great photos to choose from. All in all, we had a great experience with Chris as our photographer.
