This was our 3rd Bar/Bat Mitzvah and I have been through 3 different photographers.  My experience with Chad was by far the best!  From the first contact, to the home visit, and then to the party, there was never an issue.  He was helpful, friendly and professional throughout the entire process.

During the party, I never saw a more motivated and energetic photographer.  He never stopped!  And the proof is in the pictures.  They are fantastic!  Chad captured the mood, the guests and the Bat Mitzvah girl in photos we will cherish forever.

Our wedding and the memories of that unbelievable day will never be forgotten because of Chad Kraus.  From day one of meeting Chad, he showed nothing but excitement and professionalism for our day.  His personality in general is very welcoming and makes you feel at ease.  He was organized and made sure he wrote down all of the shots that we wanted to be captured along with his creative ideas.

The Church, Formals and Party pictures were outstanding!  For a one- man -show, Chad was EVERYWHERE without being overwhelming! If he took a break, I didn’t even know about it.  Our family and friends couldn’t say enough about how impressed they were with him. He really became part of the family by the end of the wedding.

I would not hesitate to recommend Chad for anyone’s special day.  He is creative, polite, and above all an outstanding photographer.  We look forward to using him at our next event.

We actually switched photographers at the last minute and went with Chad for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.  It was by far the best decision we could have made.
Chad was great!!!!!  He was attentive, organized, and on top of everything.
I only wish we used him for my oldest child’s Bar Mitzvah!
My pictures are fantastic!  He captured every emotion and gave us such a great variety of pictures.  I think he got a picture of every single one of my 160 guests!
I highly recommend him!

Chad was not only the most professional photographer but the most comfortable to work with!  He made everyone feel happy in front of the camera and had NO problem getting into the action to get the best photos for the most wonderful wedding memories!  Chad David Kraus Photography is the only name you need to know for all of your personal photography needs – as a man and as an artist Chad is 100% awesome!!!

Chad was amazing for our son’s Bar Mitzvah.  He captured the most important moments, and it was wonderful to see the joy on everyone’s faces.  We have already booked him for our next son’s Bar Mitzvah, which is in five years!

We really enjoyed having Chad as our photographer!  We have lovely photos of our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.  He is professional, dedicated and would blend in wonderfully in any event.  We all put so much time and money into our special events so it’s wonderful to look back and feel good about the people we select to help make our day memorable.

Chad did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding!  We love the pictures!  We received so many compliments from our family and guests on our choice of photographer.  He remained calm and professional, even when rushed to get in all of our many shots… truly grace under pressure!  He was surprisingly successful in getting our little flower girls to cooperate and smile (all eight of them!).  He clearly has a great rapport with kids.  We especially love the candid shots of our guests and the way he included just about everyone there.  We can’t thank Chad enough for recording the wonderful memories we will have with us for a lifetime.

Chad is absolutely wonderful to work with.  He is very much a “people-person” and family oriented which makes for an easy photo shoot, great pictures and a fun time. The photos and settings are always top-notch.  This is our yearly tradition to take photos in the autumn with Chad and we look forward to it every year.

We had a wonderful experience with Chad.  He was great with the kids (we LOVED the frog jump!) and they responded so well!  It was so easy and casual and the pictures came out great, so many to choose from!  We would definitely use Chad again for family events or more family photos at home.  Thanks Chad!

I had a wonderful experience taking pregnancy portraits with Chad.  I really wanted to capture the pregnancy experience and Chad had some great ideas and took some beautiful shots!   He made my husband and I feel very comfortable and we had a great time with a lot of laughs taking photos of my pregnant belly!
