Christian Clothier Photography

When my husband and I got engaged, we dreaded taking engagement photos as we had seen photos from engagements of people we knew an we knew this was not our cup of tea. However, we viewedthis as one of those things that just had to be done, but we decided that we would only go for it if our experience was more relaxed and natural that what we had previously seen.
Christian Clothier was the man that made it happen. We did not really know what kind of photos we wanted, but we wanted something we would be excited about. As we talked to Christian, he made usfeel at ease as he explained that he would work with us to achieve our desired outcome. For us, one of the things we dreaded was photos that seemed overly staged andunnaturalposes. We wanted amore natural feel.
After a relaxed and relatively pose-​free photography session, we did not know what kind of photos to expect and we joked that we might have to have do them over. What Christian did for us was farbeyond any of our expectations. His photography of us on that day felt like it told the story of who we were, it was like a narrative, a photo essay. Majority of the photos were in our natural stride (although we had to have those few necessary poses of course!). Our experience with Christian was nothing short of awesome and we certainly are very grateful. The entire experience was stress-​freeand we will treasure those photos for the rest of our lives. We certainly plan to continue to use his services in the future and would recommend him highly.

Easily my favorite photographer!
Christian shot our engagement photos and was awesome to work with. Not only did he lend us a good amount of his day, but he brought with him a good sense of humor and an amazing eye for creativity.
We spent a day roaming around Hoboken and Jersey City looking for ideal locations for our shoot. Christian had a few recommendations, and as soon as we got there he just started snapping away. He worked with us on position and expressions. He also recommended bringing a few changes of clothes to capture different styles. Having your picture taken is so personal, but he worked with us to make us feel comfortable. Sometimes he was directing, and other times it was like he wasnt even there.
We were so happy with the shots that he got. My fiancé is THRILLED!
I highly recommend him for engagement or any other types of photos!
