Black Tie Weddings and Events

and professional. Christina helped us stay right on schedule throughout the day and was super thoughtful, making sure we got AC breaks when needed since the weather was pretty warm. One of the things I appreciated most was her flexibility, especially with my large family. Coordinating everyone for family portraits could have been a headache, but Christina made the process smooth and stress-free. She kept things moving while making sure we got important shots. We just got our sneak peek photos back, and they are beautiful. I love the coloring and the filter she uses, they give the pictures a timeless, natural feel without being overly edited. If you’re looking for a photographer who captures those good, classic wedding moment without going over the top, I highly recommend Christina!

I was hoping for. My wedding pictures were originally scheduled to be taken in forest park but a tornado came through the night before. Christina worked with other photographers to understand the damage to the park and then quickly found us a new location the night before our wedding. We also hired Black Tie Wedding and Events for the DJ and photobooth which were both amazing. The DJ music planning process was super easy. I expected to have to pick every single song but the DJ had us fill out a survey and he was able to create a great playlist for the night. The DJ also had good pointers about having back up songs if the wedding party entrance took longer than one song and to have a song for lighting the unity candle. These were great tips that made it seem like he was very experienced. Overall the entire team was very experienced and professional. I would also recommend that future brides have your engagement session with Christina, I think it really made us feel much more comfortable in front of the camera.

otos, 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?

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

nd 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.

n'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.

er questions and provide her valuable input. Our pictures turned out stunning! I couldn’t have been happier!!

ed for.

le, 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!

d 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!

ed 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!

ldn't believe all the pictures I got for the price. All around amazing company and you will not be disappointed when working with them.

ould have done without her!!!

ina 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.

ll. He did a great job setting up sound for our outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception.

r 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.

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!

ful!

you pick out songs and making your night of dancing so fun!

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.

lowed 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!

b. 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.

nd for picture quality!

em!!

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!

ng wedding. We can’t wait to see the beautiful pics of the beautiful couple!

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!

tures (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!

pectations!

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! 💗

ackage 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!

shot at and the pictures turned out amazing even in gloomy rainy weather!

ommend her enough.

hat 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!

ady 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!!!

ould not have been the same without him. We could not have picked better people to work with!

ehind 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!

ng. 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.
