Brooke Christl Photography

had regarding a photographer. She was very quick to respond to all my emails whenever I had questions; scheduling our engagement pictures at the MB State Park, to capturing our special day (crazy as it may have been!!), she was so very wonderful. I can only speak of our personal engagement pictures, as we have not yet received our wedding pics. Can you say beautiful?!?! We fell in love with every proof she provided to us. Very friendly to all; it was like having an extra maid of honor on my wedding day! Would recommend to everyone!!

bsite to see her work- it speaks for itself. Thank you, Brooke!!! My family will have amazing photos to look back on our wedding day.

Brooke made some great unbiased recommendation based on our preferences. She recommended certain vendors if we wanted to go a certain directions, and some different ones if we wanted to go another direction. It made our vendor selection so much less stressful. All of her recommendations were perfect. As for the pictures they turned out great as well. We havent seen all our wedding pictures yet, but our engagement pictures were beautiful. The wedding pictures we have seen were gorgeous as well. She was great to work with. She helped us formulate a game plan for the day of the wedding to minimize the amount of pictures we had to take after the wedding so we could enjoy our reception. It was also the hottest day of the year and worked great with us even though we were hot and a little cranky :) She was spot on with the list of pictures we wanted to take, and even stayed a little late to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. She was great and I would not look anywhere else.

one in my family only had good things to say also. She was everywhere and never had to ask her to take a pic. she was there before you even though or would have said anything. Would also say that she added a photobooth option right before my wedding and she let me add that to my day. Big hit with eveyone. My big thing was a beach wedding and I came from Ohio so I was not going to be back after my wedding for awhile. She also fit me for trash the dress at on sunday before I left at 6:00 am after having my wedding on friday and another on saturday . Only one thing to say the best of the best. All different packages worth every penny.

Somehow by the grace of God, a small window for us to get outside to get married came along. We cut the ceremony in half and got the pictures of our dreams right outside and on the beach! My husband HATES PICTURES but when we met Brooke and saw her work, we were hooked right away. We are more than pleased with our pictures and he even loves them too! This meant the world to me, that Brian loved the way he looked. We aren't exactly photogenic but she magically made us look fantastic! I would recommend her to any destination or local bride. She is worth every single penny I spent. She even accommodated me by creating my own package for me. She even carried my dress to make sure it didn't get all wet outside! THANK YOU BROOKE FOR MAKING US SO HAPPY and we can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!!! Take a look at her blog and check out our HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO! http://brookechristlphotography.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/jennifer-brian-sneek-peak/ You can see what she can do even in the rain! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pictures are priceless!

you've been friends for years but still has the professionalism and composure to direct you how she wants in order to get the perfect picture. If you can book her, hire her - you will not be disappointed!

l I made was to Brooke to see if she was available to photograph our special day. Brooke’s talent is evident to anyone who sees her photographs, but the vision and experience that she brings is only truly seen when you witness her process. Brooke photographed my bridal portraits a few weeks prior to our wedding, which is something I highly recommend as it rained on our wedding day. Toward the end of the session, as we were heading back inside from the beach, she stopped everything insisting we get a few more shots. The natural lighting was perfect on the beach at sunset and she had to take advantage of it. I am so grateful that she did. The last few pictures are some of the most breath-taking pictures we captured that day and she knew that they would be. She sees the beauty in the setting that others may have missed. I never imagined that I would love my photographs more because it rained on our wedding day. Our wedding colors were black and ivory and Brooke pulled out a beautiful black umbrella for our outdoor photographs that looked absolutely perfect. The pictures were unique and elegant. I cannot imagine more beautiful pictures to remember our day. It is obvious that Brooke enjoys her work and her fun personality is infectious. You cannot help but have a great time when you are with her. She was able to make the entire bridal party laugh, relax and feel comfortable throughout the wedding day. She listened to our vision for what we wanted our wedding to be and she made it happen, flawlessly. She made me feel confident, comfortable and really enjoy the process. I could not offer a higher recommendation than I do for Brooke Christl. She not only captured our memories in an extraordinarily unique way, her vision, enthusiasm, and personal attention to every detail helped her shape our memories in to the perfect wedding day.

up on a photo, I walked into Brook's office and knew she was the one. Brooke worked with me being out of town on setting bridal portrait dates and took the best bridal portraits any of my family, friends or co workers had seen. She completely could read what I the bride wanted in my pictures and did not rush any of the bridal portraits on the beach while it was freezing outside. For our wedding she was organized and captured all of our special moments. The final album was unique with a metal engraved with our photo and pages of beautiful memories. She worked well with all of our family and friends ordering and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Brooke for the beautiful memories!

t plunge to the tears of a father the first time he sees his little girl on her wedding day. She understands your emotions and wants nothing but the best for you. She listens to your every want and desire. Brooke made our wedding day memorable and stress free. We did not have to worry about our pictures because we knew Brooke would get every shot possible. She made our entire wedding party and family very comfortable in front of the camera and our pictures reflect that. We had so many compliments from our guests about how professional Brooke was and how great of a personality she had. I am very happy with the pictures she took. Each and every time I look back at them, I remember every emotion of that day.

Brooke used her expertise to incorporate the natural beauty of the backdrops in a most artful and beautiful fashion. In addition, she managed to capture all the important and spontneous moments during the ceremony and reception while maintaining a low profile that in no way interfered with our special celebration. In addition, Brooke has continued to be completely responsive and enthusiastic since our event by posting "first look photos" on-line directly following the wedding, and by providing thank you photo cards in a most timely manner. We are glad to recommend her professional services and feel certain you will be a satisfied customer as well.

y interested and emailed her to set up an appointment. Immediately I got a response and I can't even try to explain how amazing the Budoir shoot was! I instantly booked her for the wedding! And it was not a mistake at all!! Brooke made us feel so comfortable!! We had so much fun and not the mention the pictures are beyond describable!!! I would recommend Brooke Christl to any one interested in wedding photography, Budoir photography, and even family pictures(we did that too)!! Thank you Brooke!!!

is more than willing to work with you to ensure that you get the package you want. I will never forget my wedding day due to the great pictures she took! (I recommend trash the dress).

Brooke really made me and my husband feel like we weren't just clients, we were friends! She was always reliable and easy to get up with. If i ever had a question or needed to change something she was always there to work with me. My wedding pictures really are flawless. I couldn't have imagined that they would come as as great as they did. We will definetly have our memories to cherish for a lifetime and we owe it all to Brooke Christl Photography. I will definetly be using her in the future for family pictures even though shes an hour and a half a way...It is worth the time spent getting there!

forced. I looked at all of the area photographers and Brooke's images stood out in my mind. I booked a consultation with her and another photographer. Brooke has a way of putting you at ease instantly and gets you even more excited about your wedding than you were prior to speaking with her. After one meeting with her, we canceled the other appointment and booked our engagement pictures. After our engagement shoot we knew we had to book her for all wedding related shoots, IT WAS LOVE! Brooke has a way of making you feel like you are old friends just goofy off and the imgages she gets are breathtaking. As a special gift to my hubby I did a boudoir shoot. I was so comfortable with Brooke, by the end I was running around in next to nothing, laughing hysterically! The pictures Brooke took at our wedding were more than we could imagine as well. She was truly able to capture every single little detail I worked so hard on and all of the emotion of the day. I would suggest Brooke to anyone looking for photography, she ROCKS!

e, and the quality of the images are amazing! We were very lucky to have shared our wedding day with Brooke. Brooke was able to capture all of the wonderful moments of our wedding day beautifully. We recommend Brooke with all of our hearts. Not only is she an amazing photographer; she also has a bubbly personality that is intoxicating.

reviews, seeing their work in bridal magazines, meeting them at expos, etc. EVERYTHING kept pointing to Brooke. Every time I picked a photo in a magazine that I liked, it was one she had taken, every time I saw something beautiful and unique advertised like a "boudoir album" or a "trash the dress" session, I would find out that she was the photographer behind them. I finally decided I had to meet with her. I would know immediately once I met her. I like to think I'm pretty intuitive when it comes to first impressions and knowing if we are going to click or not, plus what better way to view someone's work than to meet with them and see their books and products in person. The second I met Brooke I was a goner. I swear it was as if I had known her my whole life. The thing I really value in any vendor is one that listens, really listens, to what you say you want and are looking for and makes it happen for you. Brooke did just that. I had told her I was looking for something very different and fun and wanted a vintage style for all of my wedding photographs. By the time I had left, we were best friends who were giddy with excitement to work together and be creative with the shoot. I booked Brooke for my wedding as well as my bridal shoot and definitely didn't want to miss out on doing something as fun as a trash the dress session or boudoir albulm as a gift to my husband. Brooke was absolutely amazing in every way one could be. My vintage boudoir album was the coolest thing I'd ever seen and my husband adored it, my vintage bridal shoot looked like it was a bunch of still shots taken right out of an old classic hollywood movie, and though I haven't received the pictures from the wedding yet, Brooke gave me a sneak peak on some, and they are just so amazing. I didn't even think it was possible to have such beautiful photos. They are done so well that even the people in them look better, lol. I realize I have gone on and on about Brooke and her work, but it is just because I was truly amazed by everything she did. I feel like she is a lifelong friend now, and all of her brides feel the same way it seems. That says a lot about someone. I found Brooke beautiful, always smiling, hilarious, easy going, creative, and willing to do whatever you are comfortable with doing. I even found myself running to her to play the friend role the day of the wedding which was funny to me. I love her and will ALWAYS recommend her to the highest degree. She made my pictures even better than I could have imagined. Pictures are the only thing you get to keep after the wedding is over that captured the priceless moments and always remind you of one of the most important days of your life. It's so important to have them done right.

more like working with a friend than someone we had only met a few times!! She has a great attitude and will keep you smiling no matter what, I will cherish our photos forever!!
