Christina and Patrick deserve way more than 5 stars. They saved my wedding day multiple times throughout the day and they did it with ease. For example, our party bus was incredibly late and got lost but Christina was there to calm me down and be very direct with the bus drivers to get us where we needed to go. It was August in Missouri so of course it was hot outside, but there was Christina fanning me with her binder to cool me down while we were taking pictures. I left my phone and bouquets at the venue, and Christina found a way to call my coordinator and get him to bring the flowers to us. Just over the top work that wasn’t expected of her in any way. Patrick, hands down best DJ you’re going to get in St. Louis. In our pre-wedding meeting we told him we just didn’t want cheesy song after cheesy song, and no line dances, Patrick took our wants and made the best reception set list. I picked a very obscure song to walk down the aisle to, and he warned me that there’s was a chance he couldn’t get it due to licensing and legal things, but he made it happen. Patrick, as well went above and beyond his job duties as well. I was semi-wandering around trying to find somewhere to hang up my neon sign, and Patrick took it from me and said he’s got it handled. And it ended up in the most perfect spot. Christina and Patrick you mean so much to us now, and we will never be able to thank you enough.
Very professional, fun, and organized with everything to keep a wedding day running smoothly!

Review for Black Tie Weddings and Events
My husband and I were initially worried about looking and feeling awkward during our wedding photos, but Christina made us feel completely comfortable. We had so much fun running around with our wedding party and taking pictures! She guided everyone effortlessly, both as a group and individually, which made the process so smooth and enjoyable.
Patrick also went above and beyond by helping me make my dad feel included. He created a mix of our favorite songs for our father-daughter dance, giving us options and helping organize the playlist perfectly. He kept the evening running smoothly while also being flexible with last-minute changes, which made everything feel seamless.
Overall, I’m so glad we chose Black Tie Weddings and Events. They helped calm our nerves and truly made it the most memorable night of our lives!
Would you like me to make any further tweaks?
My husband and I chose Black Tie Weddings and Events as our photographer and DJ for our wedding. Christina and Patrick far exceeded any expectations. The entire photography and DJ process was completely stress free.
Christina was absolutely wonderful to work with for photography. She was very easy going, kind, confident and excellent at giving directions and setting up amazing shots. I waited to leave a review until we received our sneak peak pictures because I wanted to include them and I was absolutely overwhelmed with how beautiful they were.
Patrick was our DJ and provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He was great! Very friendly and easy to work with and made excellent music choices that had people on the dancefloor dancing all night.
Thank you so much to you both! I highly recommend Black Tie Weddings and Events!! You won't regret it! <3
I truly cannot put into words how amazing this team was. Christina went beyond what we could have imagined in a photographer. She and her second photographer made our day so easy and comfortable and special. I cannot imagine what our day would have been like without her. She helped us stay on track and was just a genuinely wonderful person to be around. We also used them for our DJ and Patrick was a gem also! He was personable, had our music ON POINT and was so intuitive of matching the music to the vibe. Our Photo Booth was a HIT from them also! Everyone had so much fun at it and they had tons of props and the attendant made it so fun for everyone. I would hire them again and again and again. Even the prices are so fair and even though I haven’t seen our wedding photos yet, our engagement photos from Christina were incredible and her style is just pure magic. She has a natural eye for knowing what’s right with lighting and directing you to move just right to make you look perfect. Thank you to your whole team Christina! We cannot thank you enough.
They were awesome to work with. They know what they are doing and can get pictures done in an orderly fashion. They are quick to answer questions and we highly recommend them!
Patrick (DJ) was amazing. He had the dance floor rocking all night!
Christina and her partner were fantastic as well. Very organized. Our engagement photos were fantastic, so I can't wait to see our wedding pictures!!
The photo booth was awesome as well.
We loved our package that allowed us to have all 3. And the price was perfect!!!
This crew is the best and would strongly recommend; in fact, we've already recommended them with a couple other engaged couples.
Black Ties Wedding and Events was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Christina is an expert at her craft, very experienced, and was there every step of the way to answer questions and provide her valuable input. Our pictures turned out stunning! I couldn’t have been happier!!
I book Christina for photography and her husband Patrick as the Dj! Both of which were amazing! Our dance floor was going all night long and the pictures were everything that I hoped for.
We hired Christina and her husband to provide photography and DJ services at our wedding, as well as a photobooth. Christina and her assistant, Matt, were professional and personable, making the photography process incredibly easy and calm. They also kept the timeline moving perfectly, so we were never rushed or thrown into chaos. Her husband, Patrick, was the DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Things went perfectly, and he checked in several times to make sure things were running as planned. We had some last minute things come up on our end, and he adapted perfectly and none of the guests were any wiser it had happened. I can't say enough kind things about this team or the amount of prep they do for each client, hiring them as some of our more key vendors was one of the best things we did during out planning process!
I would recommend Black Tie Weddings and Events any day! Christina and Patrick go above and beyond. My husband and I hired them for our photography and DJ services, and I am so glad that we did. They both helped to ensure our wedding timeline went smoothly. The suggestions that they came up with for our wedding day really helped take a lot of stress off of our shoulders. The second photographer that assisted Christina for our wedding also did an amazing job. If you're looking for an amazing photographer/DJ company for your wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to book Black Tie Weddings and Events!
We hired both Christina and Patrick for our wedding this summer and they were absolutely one of the best decisions of the day! They were so helpful from the very beginning and helped us troubleshoot our timeline and had great suggestions on how to make the day flow smoothly. Christina and her assistant made everyone feel so comfortable behind the camera and got incredible shots throughout the entire day. She even let me do a special request photo that turned out just how I dreamed! Patrick put together an incredible set list and made our reception so much fun and absolutely stress-free. I can't thank or recommend them enough!
100% Recommend Black Tie Wedding and Events. There were so professional and made everything such a breeze. We absolutely love our photos. They were so fun to work with, and I couldn't believe all the pictures I got for the price. All around amazing company and you will not be disappointed when working with them.
Christina and her team helped make our special day perfect. She was so much more than a photographer. She really helped tie our whole day together. I seriously don’t know what we would have done without her!!!
Christina and Patrick were so incredibly sweet and SOOO helpful! I didn’t have a wedding coordinator, so it was a little stressful getting a timeline together by myself, but Christina and Patrick went over everything with us and made sure the timeline looked good and gave amazing suggestions. Christina gave us the best advice and helped get us down the aisle just as a wedding coordinator would have. We basically got a coordinator and photographer all for the price of one!! Plus, our photos and video turned out amazing and we got them so quickly; literally 1 month after our wedding! They absolutely killed it.
Christina and her team were wonderful to work with, reasonably priced and created fabulous photographs. She also partners with her husband for dj and sound. He was incredible as well. He did a great job setting up sound for our outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception.
Christina was very flexible and easy to get along with from the very beginning. Her personality meshed well with mine and she had a way to make me feel beautiful and confident. Her sense of humor always kept us laughing and made my now husband feel more comfortable (he hates photos). the day of our wedding ran a little late like most weddings tend to do. Christina was good about communicating with me about time and we were able to make decisions quickly in order to make the most of the time we had and so I could get most of the important photos I wanted. She was very patient and understanding of our needs. Her assistant was also very pleasant to work with. I have only seen my sneak peek so far of our wedding photos and I am very eager to get the rest of our photos back. I highly recommend Black Tie Weddings and Events for your photography needs.
My wedding was beyond windy!! But Christina rocked it!! I was so impressed with her work! She was so nice and understanding! I recommend checking her out!!
I cannot say enough great things about Black Tie Weddings + Events. Christina, Patrick, and Alexus were such an amazing team to work with, and I could not recommend them more!! Our wedding was so much fun thanks to Black Tie Weddings + Events, and we had so many people come up to us to tell us how fun our wedding was and how it was the best wedding they had ever been to!
I did a ton of correspondence with Christina throughout the planning process, and she was so great to work with. She promptly responded to any questions I had, and their booking/planning process was extremely organized.
Patrick was so much fun and made our night go so smooth. From lining up our wedding party for their entrances, making sure people giving toasts knew what to do, and keeping us on schedule throughout the night, we truly could not have had such an amazing wedding without him. Like mentioned above, we had so many people coming up to us to tell us how great the music was and how much fun they were having! He truly knew how to read the crowd and play music that everyone would dance to. My husband and I wanted people to dance and have fun, and he made sure that happened for us!
We also rented a photo booth through Black Tie Weddings + Events, and it was so much fun!! They had such fun props and a great backdrop and sent us all of the pictures digitally from that night so we can have them forever. I am SO glad we did the photo booth; it was so worth seeing such funny pictures of our friends and family from that night! Alexus was the photo booth attendant, and she was so sweet! We were so glad we had her there to guide us and our guests!
Overall, my husband and I are SO thankful we chose Black Tie Weddings + Events to be at our wedding! It seriously was the best day ever, and we are so thankful they helped us make the best day happen!
Christina was great for our engagement photos and I’m looking forward to seeing our wedding photos! She was so patient with us and our crazy puppy, but the photos turned out wonderful!
Absolutely the best wedding photographer you could ever book! Great attention to detail and gets the best shots! The DJ is just as amazing playing exactly what you want and helping you pick out songs and making your night of dancing so fun!
We could not be happier that we picked Black Tie for our photos and DJ. Christina and her photo crew were amazing, extremely well prepared, and such troopers on what turned out to be a very hot day with some uphill hiking involved for the pictures.
Patrick the DJ was also extremely well prepared for our ceremony and reception and a lot of fun. Even though we had a tough older crowd and many non-dancers, I had so many people comment how they enjoyed the music.
Christian and Patrick also helped my husband plan a special surprise dance for me at the reception. Christina had to send me a decoy timeline for the day, and Patrick created a custom track for the the song mix, it was the surprise of a lifetime!!
The photobooth was a huge hit! We can’t wait to see the photos and videos.
Christina and her whole team were incredible, it is hard to find words to describe how much of an assets they were to our wedding day! They provided so much support to us, which allowed our day to flow so easily. We are going to be able to cherish our one of a kind photos and video for the rest of our lives because of their hard work. The Photography, video, DJ, and photo booth services was the best one stop shop choice we could have made. Thanks for all your dedication and passion. We loved everything about black tie weddings and events!!! If you don’t use them, you’re missing out!
I highly recommend using this company. They helped make it a lot less stressful and the DJ was amazing with helping us pick out our songs for our special day and did a fantastic job. We absolutely love our pictures and video that Christina did. She was so patient and kind. She really took her time to get exactly what we wanted. All of our wedding party and guest can not stop talking about an amazing job they did, and how beautiful our pictures are. I would recommend them to anyone I know.
Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful! Worked with us the day of to ensure things went smoothly. Had a mishap but she has been great with helping us sort it out. Highly recommend for picture quality!
I used black tie weddings and events for photography, DJ, and photo booth! They captured my wedding perfectly and my sneak peek turn around as super fast! I DEFINITELY recommend them!!
We used Black Tie Weddings + Events for DJ and Photo Booth and we are so happy we did. Patrick and Christina were both so helpful during the planning process. Patrick, the DJ, made our reception unique, special and so much fun from announcements and requests to special moments on the dance floor. The Photo Booth was such a hit with our guests, too. It was simple yet so much fun and we love getting to look back on those silly and cute moments from the night. We had a blast from start to finish, and would definitely recommend Patrick, and Black Tie Weddings + Events!

I met with Black Tie Wedding & Events when planning my wedding. She was AMAZING, organized, helpful, and so friendly. I recommended them to my future daughter-in-law for her upcoming wedding. We can’t wait to see the beautiful pics of the beautiful couple!
Could not have been happier with Black Tie Weddings and Events. Christina was fun to work with as a photographer. Just got my sneak peaks and I am in love! Patrick (the DJ) helped make sure the reception was an absolute blast! They made the planning process prior to the wedding so easy as well! Will and have been recommending them to everyone! Prices are reasonable too!
Christina & Patrick were a dream to work with for our wedding! Our pictures were amazing! Christina was easy to work with and flexible when it came to scheduling out engagement pictures (that had to be rescheduled multiple times due to weather). As two people who aren't used to being photographed, she made us feel super comfortable. & we couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Patrick was amazing! They definitely make an excellent team!
Christina has been heaven sent since the beginning! She truly knows what she is doing! The sweetest, most talented photographer that we could’ve asked for! She 100% exceeded our expectations!
I cannot express how happy we were with Black Tie Weddings and Events! We booked them for photography and DJ. Christina and Patrick went above and beyond!! Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and our DJ Patrick was so much fun! I will recommend them to anyone and everyone! We will be forever grateful!
Thank you again for making our day so special! đź’—
Christina has been such a blessing from the start. The very first time I called to check her availability, she ended up staying on the phone for over a half hour to talk through package options and answer my many questions… all while she was recovering from a medical procedure! She continued to be incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, going over countless details I definitely would have overlooked without her guidance. She always responded quickly to my emails and worked with us to create a custom photography and DJ package specific to our wish-list and budget. She helped us rearrange everything on super short notice when we realized we needed to downsize and change plans, and when Covid prevented her from being able to shoot our wedding, she worked at lightning speed to find a backup photographer with a similar style to fill in for her. We are so lucky to have found Black Tie Weddings & Events and we can't wait until we get to work with them again at our “second wedding” (reception). Fun bonus: She is also great with dogs! So if you’re looking to include your furry friends in your wedding day, Christina is your gal!
Christina is very quick at responding to any questions I have and helps prepare for wedding day even outside of photography! My wedding is this year but I’ve been to weddings she’s shot at and the pictures turned out amazing even in gloomy rainy weather!
We have absolutely loved working with Christina. She is responsive and so helpful, and was such a joy during our engagement photos. She even helped take care of our dog!! Can't recommend her enough.
Haven’t had my wedding yet but love their style and pictures from previous weddings. They were very helpful with all of my questions before I booked and making sure I was getting what I wanted. Answers emails in a very timely manner and answers all my questions with a lot of knowledge and experience. Excited to keep working with them!
She is professional and knows what she is doing. I am very particular about photos and wanted good quality pictures of our wedding and an very pleased with the outcome. I have already recommended her to anyone who asks for a good photographer and dj, as her husband did a fabulous job at our reception! I should also mention we had a covid wedding, where they easily accommodated our mini ceremony and then did our actual full day. They are definitely in it for you as the bride/groom and will do everything they can to help. Wonderful people that truly helped us have unforgettable days!!!
Christina was amazing to work with. Extremely helpful and very fun to have around! We used Black Tie for our photos, photo booth, and DJ. Patrick was a fantastic DJ and the night would not have been the same without him. We could not have picked better people to work with!
We are so happy we had Christina take photos of our wedding day! She is very efficient in what she does and captured every moment of our wedding day even though we were a tad bit behind schedule. Her photography is impeccable and I can attest to that since our wedding photos came out beautifully! We definitely recommend everyone to use black tie weddings and events!
Black Tie Weddings where awesome everyone loved the pictures and the DJ
Black Tie was incredible. They took care of everything and were wonderful to work with. They are dependable, friendly, and inviting. It made the day go smoothly without a single glitch.
This photographer & DJ duo is simply the best!!! As the bride I never once had to think about how my day was going, or when to do what because they took care of absolutely everything. Laid back but very professional which is a rare combination. We were so lucky to have them on our team. You will not be disappointment! I was taken care of, above and beyond.
They put on an AMAZING production and are so kind! Christina and Patrick make you feel welcomed and like they truly care about your event. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of pictures, DJ or a photobooth! I have no complaints!
Christina is wonderful at what she does; our engagement pictures were flawless because of her...not to mention how comfortable and fun she made the entire experience. We cannot wait to have her photograph and DJ our wedding in April! Highly suggest this company for all your photography needs!!
Our engagement session with Black Tie Weddings and Events was wonderful, and one of our favorite photo sessions we have had! Christina made us feel comfortable and was a joy to work with. Our wedding is next month and we already cannot wait for it to get here, but to be able to work with Christina again! When looking for a wedding photographer that is affordable, friendly and someone you are able to trust with your big day we are happy to say we found Christina!
We loved our services for our wedding and engagement❤️ Christina got our engagement pictures in last minute for us and we loved loved loved our pictures from both sessions! Her and her husband are so easy to get along with and made sure our day was what we wanted and they were a ton of help picking out songs for our wedding day!
Christina was amazing! She was so kind and knew exactly what she was doing, she told and showed us how to pose for certain shots. She also got back our photos quicker than she said she would and was very quick to fix one of my photos that had a sun spot on it. 10/10 would recommend!!
The photos I got of my wedding were just beautiful! Black Tie Weddings and Events was very affordable and friendly! I would highly recommend checking them out! They were very professional and helped make my wedding go off without a hitch! My husband and I are both very glad we went with this company!
Couldnt have asked for a better photographer.
Everything was absolutely wonderful. They were so flexible when it came to taking the pictures. They turned out absolutely gorgeous. We also got the photobooth and it was a huge hit. Everyone told me to be cautious about who I picked as a photographer and honestly I dont think I could've chosen better!
We are working with this awesome duo for our wedding! They are very communicative and get back to me ASAP with answers to my questions. They drove over an hour to meet with me and my fiancé and tour our venue. All the stress I had prior to meeting them was gone. They made me feel confident that the photography would be amazing and the dj and photo booth services would not disappoint! I highly recommend them for your special day!
We had the best experience with Black Tie weddings and events. I felt completely relaxed and comfortable the whole entire time! The dj played our odd songs for the ceremony and during the reception had no problems getting the guest up to the dance floor to dance. I will forever recommend Black Tie weddings and events.
My wife and I will continue to use them for other events in our life. They are what made our big day special.
Absolutely amazing job she’s an amazing photographer I am so glad I had chose you to do my wedding photos I have a beautiful memory now
I had my wedding in September 2018. Chrissy was amazing!! I used her photography services as well as the photo booth. She was available and responsive before my date, and on my day she made everything so smooth and easy!! I would recommend her to anyone!! My photos turned out better then I could have imagined and everyone loved the photo booth!! 5 out of 5 stars for sure
Black Tie Weddings and Events was absolutely amazing. She was there and ready to take pictures EVERY step of the way. Thanks to her, my special day will remain special for so many years to come. She captured all the pics I wanted and made it look effortless. I highly recommend. Thank you so much!
Chrissy was an amazing photographer. She arrived early and was organized and prepared. She was friendly and very easy to work with. When I got my photos I was so happy with them. They looked absolutely beautiful and super classy. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer.
Less than a month before our wedding day this last October, we had to find a photographer in such short notice that wasn't going to charge us an arm and a leg for booking so late. Grand Design Photography was recommended to us on Facebook. Our photographer was able to meet with us in such
short notice to go over everything she wanted to capture and everything I expected from a photographer. She kept in contact with me for the next few weeks and met with us at the rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, our photographer was very professional and patient with us all. Christina exceeded our expectations!! She captured so many priceless moments from our day. I was and still am beyond satisfied with our photographs. I highly recommend you to book Grand Design Photography for your special event!!
Chrissy was down to earth. An amazing sense of humor, and just a plain sweetheart. She's also very professional. Works well with your vision, and defiantly helps it come true.
I wouldn't of asked for a better photographer for one of the biggest days of my life.
