Chris and Jennifer Ocken were fantastic. Their pictures were beautiful, they were so incredibly friendly and willing to meet and discuss our interests in what we wanted, and the results were perfect. They made our picture-taking as painless as possible, actually making it quite fun and were SO prepared for every moment that our pictures were better than we could have hoped. We recommend Ocken Photography with utmost certainty.

Jennifer made the day fun, which calmed many nerves (including my mom’s). And her flexibility before, during, and after our wedding day has been so helpful. We recommend Ocken Photography highly for price and quality.

I’m not sure we could have had a better photographer. Jennifer was so nice and seemed to just blend in. When we received our proofs it then seemed she was everywhere at once. We had so many great photos it was truly hard to narrow it down. Some of them looked straight out of a wedding magazine.

We would definitely recommend Ocken Photography. They were so amazing and so wonderful to work with. They really listened to what we wanted and we are so happy with our pictures. We have received so many compliments on our photos. They had a great turn-around time on our proofs — we had them back within a week or two of our wedding. Ocken Photography has been a pleasure to work with and we plan on using them again when we have kids!

If you’re lucky, in 10 years (or 50) you’ll have a husband and photographs to remember your wedding. Don’t risk using an amateur. Bob Ocken is the best wedding photographer in the business.

Ashley Thomas & Chad Weinard
Chris captured the essence of our wedding day in a way that only he could. Stolen moments between lifelong friends, the bending branch of an ancient tree over an oblivious couple, and the momentary pause of a bride’s father — fleeting images, too easily glimpsed and lost — in his pictures become a lyrical narrative to be retold and remembered.

Krista Allmendinger & Dan Lewis
We chose Bob because of his unique approach and artistic style. We wanted a flowing, chronological account of our wedding. He captured all of the special moments, which we will cherish for our lifetime.
