Enjoy Your Wedding, Not the Photoshoot

For couples who want to enjoy their wedding, not perform for the camera. Calm guidance, real moments, next day previews, and timeless digital + 35mm film photography.

About Christopher Raspa Photography

Christopher Raspa Photography

Enjoy Your Wedding, Not the Photoshoot.

Hi, I'm Christopher. Former engineer, tech nerd, classic car enthusiast, animal lover, and unapologetic romantic. Most of my couples aren't people who love being photographed. They're thoughtful, hardworking humans who care more about enjoying their wedding than perfect poses. Sound familiar? You're in the right place. My approach is simple: enjoy your wedding, not the photoshoot. I'll guide you when needed, step back when the moment matters, and help you feel comfortable enough to forget the camera is there. Using digital and 35mm film, I create photographs that feel honest, emotional, and true to who you are. No wedding day performance required.

Most photographers focus on how the photos look. I focus on how the experience feels. As a former engineer, I understand analytical minds, introverts, techies, overthinkers, and self proclaimed awkward people. You don't need modeling experience, perfect poses, or a Pinterest worthy performance to get incredible photos. My couples spend less time posing and more time enjoying their wedding. You'll get thoughtful guidance, next day previews, timeless digital and 35mm film imagery, and a calm presence throughout the day. Less pressure. Less posing. More celebrating. More connection. More memories you'll actually remember.

    Book with Chris today!

    Chris recently photographed our wedding and beautifully captured our day. We first worked with him during our engagement session, which was a great time to get to know each other and feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gives excellent direction while keeping things feeling natural and light. We were really drawn to his natural style of editing, keeping things real to the moment. His communication is outstanding, being quick to respond to any questions we had. Both Chris and his second photographer, Liz, had everyone at our wedding feel at ease and smiling all day long. It was so much fun to go back and look through our photos to see all of the moments that we missed, but they captured for us. We will always cherish the memories we have in the photos to look back on.

    Hello Brianna & Dennis, thanks so much! I'm thrilled you felt comfortable and could really enjoy your wedding day. That's always our goal and we loved being part of your special day; capturing all those little moments that happen in between and of course, the two of you!! Thank you for trusting us with your memories!- Christopher

    BOOK WITH CHRIS!

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Christopher Raspa Photography. From our first conversation, Chris was attentive and clear about what to expect, which put us at ease right away. He understood our vision and was flexible enough to pivot between different shot styles throughout the day, capturing exactly what we wanted. The quality of his work is outstanding, and we were blown away by how quickly he got our preview photos to us. If you're on the fence between Chris and someone else, book Chris!!! the value you get for the quality of photos is unbeatable.

    Christopher Raspa•Aug 19, 2026

    Hello Marlee & Thomas, Thank you so much for this. From the first time we talked, you two were warm, easy to connect with, and genuinely excited for your day. It made everything feel natural. I loved being able to follow your ideas and capture the moments that mattered most. I’m really glad the photos feel right to you and that the preview brought joy back so quickly. Your words mean a lot, and I’m grateful you chose me. Thank you many times over! Christopher

    Fantastic Engagement Shoot Experience

    Our experience with Chris for our engagement shoot was absolutely fantastic. He clearly communicated details and helped plan the engagement shoot. Additionally, he allowed my fiancée and I to guide his editing process to our preferences, and overall offered an incredibly fun, entertaining, and personable engagement shoot. My fiancée and I are so happy we chose Chris to photograph our engagement, and we fully endorse his ability as a photographer and his awesomeness as a person. 110% recommend hiring him for your photography needs!

    Christopher Raspa•Jul 2, 2026

    Hello Spencer & Catherine, Thank you both for sharing such kind words. Being there for your surprise proposal and then your engagement session was really special, and I’m grateful for how easygoing and genuine you were throughout the whole process. Getting to shape the edits around your preferences was a pleasure, and I’m glad the photos feel true to you. I’m honored you chose me to document this moment in your lives. Your recommendation means a lot. Cheering you on as you move through your wedding planning; hoping it goes great and you’re able to take it one step at a time and have lots of fun while doing so! I hope to work with you again, Cheers - Chris

    Amazing photos and a pleasure to work with

    We were fortunate to work with Chris for our engagement images. He was superb; offering to shoot at two locations. We truly appreciated this because it allowed for a different story to be told. We have never taken professional photos before, but it didn’t matter, Chris was great at directing us. These images are easily now the best photos of us! During the editing process we felt heard. He allowed us to voice our opinion and he gave multiple edits to help us find our style. Highly recommend! The light shining between us and around us is so beautiful. I love this ring shot, it looks like something in a magazine. The lighthouse in the background is an added touch to showcase the location, without taking over the whole picture.

    Christopher Raspa•Mar 24, 2026

    Hello Caleb and Aveon, Thank you so much for this. It was a joy spending the afternoon with you both, and I’m really glad the two locations helped tell your story. Hearing that you felt comfortable, heard, and guided, especially for your first professional photos, means a lot. I’m thrilled you love the light, the ring shot, and the lighthouse details. Thank you for trusting me and for the incredibly kind words. It was a joy working with you both and I hope to work with you again! — Chris

    Engagement photos

    Chris did our engagement pictures and we are very happy with the results! The locations chosen were great and his communication leading up to the session was as well. Chris was funny and engaging during the session and was very helpful with poses and ideas. The pictures came out even better than we expected and he had a quick turn around time to get them back to us.

    Christopher Raspa•Mar 16, 2026

    Stephanie, thank you so much for this! I loved photographing your engagement session and I’m thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the locations and the experience. Helping couples feel comfortable, have fun, and get natural, modern images they love is a huge part of my approach, so your words mean a lot. I’m so glad the photos exceeded your expectations and that the quick turnaround was helpful. It was a joy working with you both and I hope to work with you again! — Chris

I blend modern editorial imagery with emotional, true‑to‑you storytelling. Your gallery will feel clean, natural, and elevated—never stiff, never overly posed. I guide when needed, step back when moments unfold naturally, and keep the experience calm, fun, and comfortable.
I photograph weddings across New Hampshire, Maine, Boston and the North Shore. Travel is included for most locations.
Yes. I blend digital and 35mm film for clean modern images with soft nostalgic tones. Digital gives crisp modern clarity. Film adds softness, romance and a nostalgic glow. I blend both to create a gallery with depth and timeless character.
Every wedding is different, but most couples receive 600–900+ fully edited images depending on hours of coverage, timeline, and events. I never cap “maximums”—you get every meaningful moment that tells your story.
Yes! You’ll receive same‑day or next‑day sneak peeks, so you can relive the magic right away and share with family and friends.
Most full wedding galleries are delivered within 4–6 weeks. I edit everything myself to ensure consistency, quality, and a polished, timeless look.
Yes—engagement sessions are one of my favorite parts of the process. They’re relaxed, natural, and built around movement and connection. They’re perfect for save‑the‑dates, wedding websites, or simply documenting this season of your life.
Yes. My Signature and Classic Collections include a second photographer, and you can add one to any package. A second photographer helps capture more angles, more candids, and more of the story—especially during getting ready, ceremonies, and receptions.
Yes. I help build a smooth photography timeline so the day feels relaxed and organized.
Once we confirm your date is available, I’ll send a simple online proposal with your collection, contract, and invoice. A deposit + signed agreement officially reserves your date.
