Testimonials from Chris Marksbury Clients

"I've had the great honor of working with Chris in the recording studio making music as well having a session documented on film by him. I have to say he is one of the most professional and fun artists I have worked with in my 20 year career as a recording engineer. As a photographer he documented the sessions with incredible photos and stayed out of our way while he was doing it (which is a feat in itself). As a songwriter, musician he was a real pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Chris as a photographer and would love the opportunity to work with him in a musical capacity again."
Gary Tole: Recording Engineer/Mixer for Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Joe Lynn Turner, Steve Winwood, Vanessa Williams, Billy Joel, Keith Richards, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Bonamassa, more !!

It was a pleasure working with Chris to get proper photos of MOUNTAIN together. He is a professional and seems to have his art down. Keep shooting those shots and we'll work together again soon !

"HE SAVED MY MONEY BAG FROM BURNING AT MY WEDDING" Chris Marksbury, well I cannot say enough great things about him. I was referred to him by my co-workers when I was planning my wedding He had worked with us on many events and also was the photographer for quite a few of their weddings. I saw his wedding photos and immediately knew I wanted to hire him! At my wedding we were all outside, enjoying our dessert when Chris ran outside with my money bag which was half burnt on the top. It turns out I had left in on our table near the candle and IT WENT ON FIRE! Being the multi-tasking person he is, he thought quickly and put out the fire with a glass of water. I think he not only saved my money bag with all the gifts inside, but my marriage as well. I can go on and on about what a professional, hard-working, down-to-earth man Chris is. He is an absolute pleasure to work with whether it be personal or business. His pictures are amazing, I cannot get over how he is able to get the best pictures from any hectic event. Chris is an asset to the community! We all love and would recommend him to anyone!!!
Lori Ruschman - Corporate Relations Representative

The photographs are awesome ! I have hired dozens of photographers over the past 12 years and you are a true professional. You were on time and did a real thorough job, thanks for being punctual. You captured the essence of what we do, way better than I had expected. The black and whites are absolutely stellar. Anyone who doesn't use you as a photographer ought to have their head examined.

When I think adventure, I think Huckleberry. When I think sweet, I think rasberry. When I think photography, I think Marksbury !

I hate photo shoots, and as a recording artist who needs album cover photos and publicity shots, that can be a big problem for me. I've worked with many famous showbiz photographers, and I've seldom enjoyed the process. Chris Marksbury not only took great photos of me, he made it easy and fun. He put me at ease and got the best out of me... I enthusiastically recommend CM Photos. Oh, and he plays a mean guitar, too...
- Curtis Stigers - multi platinum selling vocalist, saxophonist and songwriter

"Working with CM Photos was a great experience. I have worked with many photographers in the entertainment business throughout the years, but never had one that got so involved in the entire process from beginning to the end. Chris was a pleasure to work with and I appreciate his creative ability to capture the moment".
- Mark Wexler, Entertainment Industry Consultant. Clients include: Joe Lynn Turner, Glenn Hughes, Lee Ritenour, Regina Belle, The Rippingtons, Gato Barbieri, Eric Marienthal and more

I've worked with Chris Marksbury many times and he brings so much to the table...Whether he was making music or taking pictures of it being made... he's a real pro.
- Kenny Kramme, Drummer


"As a member of an established national touring act, we see more than our share of photos and photographers. What sets Chris Marksbury's work apart is the unique dimension that his own reputable musical background affords. If you know what you're doing on your instrument Chris's photos will demonstrate it through vivid colors, stark contrast, and a perspective that any player or fan can appreciate. A really great guy to work with and as you can see I use his work whenever I can."
Eric Czar - Bassist Joe Bonamassa Band

- Helene Guss, Director of Public Relations - Pascack Valley Hospital

When I first got engaged, everyone told me that picking the photographer would be the hardest thing; but for me it was the easiest. I would recommend him a million times over. Chris is a pleasure to work with months after our wedding people are still telling me how wonderful our photographer was! In fact, people were asking for his business cards right then and there. Not only is he professional, but he has the ability to make you feel relaxed and calm. And as many know, that can be difficult on your wedding day. The true testament to his talent -- he was able to take solo pictures of my husband (who hates to pose for pictures). In addition to capturing each of the attendees in a posed setting, he was able to capture the mood of the event through his candid pictures. He completely understood from the moment I started working with him, the mood that we were trying to achieve. Documenting the event is one thing, but having the skills to capture the feelings and the essence of the day are another. On top of that, he is someone who is able to do this without being the focus or obtrusive -- and no offensive to the profession - but that is really hard to find!!

I've worked with Chris Marksbury as a songwriter. He was talented, professional and had something to say. I've worked with Chris Marksbury as a guitar player. He was talented, professional and this time I had something to say. I've worked with Chris Marksbury as a photographer. Again he was talented, professional and this time neither of us had anything to say but the pictures looked fabulous. Whatever occupation Chris Marksbury chooses, I'd be happy to work with him.
- Bob Held Producer/Songwriter

Chris Marksbury has an artist's eye and intuition. He may always be in the background, but his photos capture the moment. A pleasure to work with, entirely dependable and gracious.
- Nancy McKerahan, Executive Vice President - RealSource

We were extremely pleased with Chris's work. His photography is exceptional---creative, thoughtful, imaginative. He was very professional and very nice to work with. He fit right into our Bar Mitzvah, was unobtrusive, and got great meaningful shots. We received our proofs right on schedule and everything went very smoothly. Chris was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond . We would recommend him without hesitation.
- Fran G and family

It was a pleasure to have Chris photograph our wedding. He came highly recommended by friends, and he turned out to be everything they said he would be and more.
- Jennifer and Michael Trepicchio

Chris is professional and kind. He never seems harried or impatient. His pictures reflect caring as well as skill. Our family has been blest to have him photograph special occasions and feel that he is a friend as well as a talented human being.
- Anne Geffert

We hired Chris to do the photo shoot for our debut album, because he was highly recommended by others in the music community. However, we were totally unprepared for, and blown away by the results of our session. In addition to his years of experience in photography, Chris provided us with creative ideas on scenery, and location. The composition, creative artistry and overall vibe of the photos we received captured the band perfectly. This was no accident, as Chris took the time to explore our music, and speak to us about the kind of image we wanted to portray. All of these factors went into the way Chris conducted the session. From a business standpoint, the pricing was extremely fair, and the results prompt and well in excess of expectations. Thanks, Chris!
- Mark and Jay, The Handful [recording artists]

Chris Marksbury came to us highly recommended as a wedding photographer by some professional photographers that we know. For my daughters wedding and several others that we have since recommended Chris for, the results were great. My daughter was very pleased with her album. Chris is a terrific photographer and a very nice person as well. Great combination for your special event. We highly recommend him for his outstanding skills!!
- Bill Cress. Juliet & EJ Napolitano

Chris Marksbury.....is a guitarist who knows how to connect his creativity and musical instincts to his fingers to get just the right sounds, phrasing and passion out of any music he plays. He is a consummate player who will work overtime to get it "just right." Chris played on my recent CD "Clouds Over OZ" and his playing contributed greatly to what I was looking for on each of the songs. He is a true professional and a great guy to work with on any team!
- Rick Norman - Singer/Songwriter

I have approximately 200 photographers working for me around the country. Chris has handled this area for me, handling all types of commercial photography assignments, and I can honestly say I have always received top quality results. A real professional.
- Fred Smith/Fred Smith Associates

"Chris is great to work with. He's very professional and always very prompt when it comes to getting the pictures to me in time for deadlines. He's also very flexible when it comes to scheduling a photo opportunity. A pleasure to work with!"
- Michael Koenen, Editor - AAA North Jersey Traveler

It is difficult to put into words just how much the Pascack Valley Hospital Foundation and all of us at Pascack Valley Hospital appreciate your incredible work. First of all, you absolutely are such a positive addition to every function we have! Never temperamental, always accommodating, professional, and wonderfully creative, we could not have such successful events without your assistance. Thank you from the staff and Board of Directors of the Foundation. On a personal note, my gratitude for capturing the memories of my sons weddings. We didn't even know you were there but every photograph is perfection. My son thanks you. My family thanks you, and I most especially thank you.
- Phylis R. Rooney, Associate Director

I kept bumping into Chris at a number of jobs that we were both working at. The first thing that struck me was his relaxed amiable manner. He's like another "one of the gang" and you feel at ease around him. I think this ultimately works to his advantage. I've seen a number of his finished photographic works now and what I've been struck by is the consistent quality that runs throughout. It seems as if his creative mind shines through the lens. It was only natural that when I needed publicity photos I called him. He didn't let me down. The photos were top notch. When someone asks me about a photographer I never hesitate to recommend Chris for the job.
- Roy Suter, musician

It was a great pleasure to have Chris Marksbury photograph our wedding. He brought out the best of Debbie and me. He captured our lifelong treasure.
- John and Debbie Robinson

To me Chris Marksbury has been a source of positive energy and enthusiasm. He brings creativity, skill, humor and an artist's sensibility to everything he does, along with a strong sense of professionalism. The thing I most love about having Chris on the job is that I know I can trust him to get what I need, even if I can't quite explain what I'm going for. He has the experience and an intuitive knack for getting just the right thing. In the recording studio, I quickly found that I could trust his instincts; he helped me edit and shape my music to make it more effective and succinct. And best of all, he got me motivated to get it down, get it out. "Let's do it!" he would say. And that's just what we did.
- Robert Oakes, Songwriter and Graphic Designer

We went to see Chris on the advice of several friends who had used him for their wedding photographer. We immediately felt so comfortable with him there was no question that he was "the one". He's a professional without question, but laid back enough to put our nerves to rest on "The Big Day". The photos are all so wonderful, it's hard to choose which ones should be in the final albums! The "posed" photos came out looking natural, and the candids are absolutely amazing. Everything was captured in the pictures, the excitement, the happiness, the overall emotion of the day. He really does wonderful work and we would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.
- Kathy and John Albano

Chris is professional, talented, dedicated and makes his clients comfortable at all times.
