Brooke Christl Photography

Brooke is simply amazing! Brooke did our engagement and wedding photos and I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. She made us both feel comfortable (we hate getting our picture taken) and our entire wedding party loved her. My parents also commented on how she got some shots but had no idea she was even taking them. Seriously don’t think about it- just go with Brooke!!!

My wedding was a destination wedding so I had to blindly choose a wedding photographer. I made the right choice. Brooke is absolutely an amazing photographer!!! I could not have had a better experience using her as my wedding photographer. She is the best. Highly recommend!

Brooke has been amazing since we contacted her. From our engagement shoot to the wedding. We have enjoyed meeting her and the quality work that she does. Our photos are amazing! Weeks following up to the wedding, Brooke had a timeline ready and made sure everyone was on the same page. Day of the wedding, she was in sync with the DJ as well as her colleague (Robin, who was super sweet and just as amazing!). The day/night of the wedding flowed so well as she made sure we stayed on track and she was super about small reminders. Every time I turned around, I saw her capturing every moment possible. We recommend her 100%! We can't wait to use her for our future family photos as well.

Brooke is amazing and so easy to work with! I had met her as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and loved her work, that I trusted her as a destination bride and had no regrets. Her attention to detail and friendly nature made it that much more enjoyable. She is highly recommended!

Loved working with Brooke! She is amazing at what she does, a true professional. She listens to what you want and makes sure everything part of your special day is captured. She will also help you deal with those friends/family who think it’s their wedding day.

Brooke is absolutely a jewel to work with and does an amazing job at capturing your desired looks/moments and even ones you didn't think you wanted. Lol She is very detailed and attentive in all areas and her work is timeless leaves people speechless. Brooke Christl photography will forever be my #1 choice and we are beyond pleased we chose her to capture our engagement and wedding day memories!

There isn’t a better photographer on the planet than Brooke. She will make your day exactly what you want and make sure you have the photos that you will love to see the rest of your life.

I can’t say enough good things about Brooke. She was amazing in all of our sessions from engagement to the wedding day. Her photos were beautiful and everyone was gushing over them and how she made us all look beautiful. When she put together our wedding album, she chose the layout and photos so well that I didn’t find anything to ask that she change. Even after the wedding, her personal touches when she sent us our pictures were totally unexpected but made us feel so important to her and very touched at her detailed care. Love her!

I was an out of state bride as my wedding took place at Myrtle Beach so it was a destination wedding. I did plenty of research and knew from the quality I reviewed online and the actual reviews from real customers that Brooke Christl Photography was who I wanted to capture my big day. Being from WV and 8 hours away I knew I had to meet all my vendors at least once to calm the pre marriage jitters. I met Brooke a month prior and also did a photo shoot with her and became obsessed with her personality, her photography style, and her photos. She really is amazing at what she does and her work is extremely tasteful, classy, and A+ quality and not to mention her vibe makes you feel so comfortable! On the wedding day she captured all of our memories without us feeling like the day was being taken over by constantly getting photos...which was important to me but esp by fiance, as he is not a big "picture taker". My fiance was so pleased and thrilled with Brooke's style and the level of comfort he had with her we have decided when we have children and take a MB vaca, she will be the first person we call! You cannot go wrong with Brooke and the level of photography she produces. She is a genius at what she does and my husband, family, and friends absolutely adore her!

Brooke was great! She truly helped make our day PERFECT. Highly recommended.

Amazing! From Brooke's personality to her just absolutely beautiful work! I couldn't have had a better photographer and team at my wedding

It was disappointing to have to wait for photos, hence the late review... But every second of waiting plus every dollar spent was worth having Brooke capture our most important day!!! She took the best posed and candid shots and was very well versed in directing our chaotic family and bridal party... We love every shot!!! The album is out of this world and leaves most who view it speechless, including ourselves... There were jaws dropped and drool wiped, but all in "awe...." Brooke, we are so glad you were part of our day and cannot thank you enough for the fantastic photos and our special treats (ie the calendar, tiny books and album)... You are amazing and we will gladly sing your praises to brides and grooms to be! Thank you!!!

After seeing pictures Brooke took from a friends wedding, I knew then I wanted her to photograph my wedding. I couldn't have chosen any better! She is absolutely amazing at all that she does. Not only is she professional, she is super nice, fun, and down to earth. She was quick to respond to calls and emails, also quick at getting my engagement, bridal, and wedding photos back to me. She worked well with the other vendors and helped my wedding day go smoothly. She made sure every little special moment was captured. I have had numerous compliments about all of my photos. People have made the statement multiple times "Those pictures look like they came right out a magazine!" I would highly recommend Brooke Christl Photography! She is the BEST! Lauren Hines

I knew I wanted Brooke to be my photographer as soon as I met with her! She was professional, but also made me feel like I'd known her for a long time! All photo sessions were laid back and fun! She makes you feel beautiful the whole time, and puts the men at ease too! Always quick to respond to emails/calls and never seemed annoyed or too busy for me! By my wedding day, she felt more like a friend than photographer! My wedding photos are amazzzzing!! I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Brooke and can't wait to have future sessions with her!!! thanks so much Brooke!!!!!

Choosing Brooke as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my October 2012 wedding in North Myrtle Beach. Not only did our photos come out beautifully, but Brooke was also such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She was quick to respond to emails and a lot of fun while taking photos - my husband and I and our families loved her! I was very nervous on my wedding day and she put me completely at ease, even working with our other vendors to help ensure everything went smoothly. Our package included 6 hours of coverage with two photographers, an engagement session, 8x12 Custom Designed Premier Fusion Album - 40 page, image Disk of wedding day images w/ copywrite permissions, Internet Wedding Highlights Slideshow, 30 days online viewing/ordering gallery, and a proof Portfolio. The album is beautiful and we received everything promptly. We came home from our honeymoon and our photo slideshow was already posted online - a great suprise!

Brooke is great to work with. Very laid back and truly loves her job. She brings out real smiles and goes beyond the "cheesy" shots. We enjoyed her very much.

Brooke was a dream to work with. From the beginning, she made me and my now husband feel comfortable both while determining what we were looking for and during photo sessions. All of the photos from our pre-wedding sessions and day of festivities were gorgeous. She made sure I had all of the pictures that I asked for, and some that I would never have even though to request. Her prices are reasonable, and we received a beautifully-done wedding album along with a DVD of all photos taken during the wedding and reception. She also made sure we had a wonderful time, even teaching my wedding party "The Wobble" during the reception. I would recommend Brooke and her team to anyone! Thanks Brooke!

Brooke Christl truly is the most exceptional photographer I have ever come in contact with. She's so talented, kind and creative! She made all our dreams come true on our wedding day, everything went by so quickly on our special day and I am so appreciative that she captured all our amazing moments in photos! I cant wait for my next important momment in my life so Brooke can capture all those moments as well! :)

We were so lucky to have found Brooke to capture the entire celebration of our marriage. We had so much fun with her with our engagement session pictures. It was really a great experience in getting to know each other and to see her creativity and professionalism. Brooks ability to capture every emotion of our wedding and celebration will stay with us forever. Having a wedding party of 20 or so people was a little overwhelming to say the least. Brooke was so professional and organized, everyone commented on her ability to organize everyone in a way that we got finished quick and efficiently. I recommend Brooke above and beyond and am so happy she was able to share our wedding with us.

Brooke did such an amazing job at my brothers wedding that I asked her to travel from Myrtle Beach to Washington, DC to do my wedding. I would highly recommend her for any photo session- she has such a fun style and is very personable. I just got my wedding photos back and already can't stop looking at them. We have so many amazing pictures to remember our big day! I will highly recommend her to any of my family and friends getting married. Check out her website to see her work...it speaks for itself!

My husband and I got married in the Myrtle Beach area on October 13, 2012. We are from West Virginia, so we were worried about finding and working with vendors almost 500 miles away! Brooke Christl went above and beyond every expectation I ever 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!!

Brooke did such an amazing job at my brothers wedding, that I asked her to drive from Myrtle Beach to DC to do my own wedding! She has such a creative style and makes the process so easy. I am so happy that I went with her...just look at her website 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 was great! From the beginning she had our interest in mind and not just with our photography. Since we were having a long distance wedding, we did not have much time to select vendors. When we were having problems finding certain vendors 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.

Brooke knew what she was doing. She took the pictures quick so everyone culd enjoy the wedding. She forfilled all of our requests. I would highly recommend her

brooke was the best choice for me. I was from out of town and did a lot of research online. I went down a few times and meet different vendors for my wedding. Brooke was a great choice, could not say a bad thing about her or her work. Everyone 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.

My wedding ceremony outside at the Ocean Club at Grande Dunes was being rained upon. As a panic stricken bride, Brooke Christl helped to make sure my dream of an outside wedding ceremony would come true. My spirits were very low at this point. 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!

Words cannot express how awesome Brooke is! Her work is impeccable and flawless, and she is an absolute dream to work with. Every one of my guests could not stop telling me about how much fun she is! Brooke has this way of making you feel like 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!

I had the pleasure of knowing Brooke prior to working with her professionally. Therefore, I already knew that being around Brooke was like being outside on a sunny day with your best friend. When my husband and I got engaged, the very first call 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.

If you are an out of town bride Brooke is a wonderful choice. I had to choose one weekend to go do all of my photographer hunting, after hours of talking to different extremely expensive photographers who were going to charge me for each touch 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!

It felt like Brooke was part of our family the moment we met her. We “clicked” and I knew this is who I wanted to record the best day of our lives together! Brooke is ready to capture anything, from jumping into the river as we took on our first 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.

My husband and I have the sincere pleasure of using this forum to wholeheartedly recommend Brooke Christl Photography for your next special event. Brooke phtographed our late October 2010 wedding and, although the venue itself was picturesque, 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.

Brooke was absolutely phenomenal!! I wasn't going to use a big photographer when I got married. I was looking around for ideas for a groom's gift and stumbled upon Brooke's website. She had an amazing set up for Budoir photography, I got really 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!!!

Brooke was amazing. She was so personable, caring, creative, fun and so many other descriptive words that will never fully describe what a wonderful person and photographer that she is. Her prices are great, and the product is amazing. She 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).

I could not have chosen a better photographer for my wedding this past July. Brooke Christl really did a great job taking my engagment, Bridal, and wedding pictures. People are still talking about my bridal portrait and how beautiful it was. 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!

Brooke was a lifesaver when it came to our wedding. When we first got engaged, I knew that photography was very high on my importance list. I wantd a specific style, someone that is able to capture the emotion of a day, without looking posed or 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!

Matthew & Jenna We were the winners of Brooke Christl’s 2010 wedding photography give away package. We received a $2000 dollar package that included a Trash the Dress Bridal session. Our May 2010 wedding was captured beautifully by Brooke, 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.

I'm a very picky person and wanted a photographer that was going to take photos that were unique and creative; photos that I hadn't seen somewhere before. I researched many different photographers in the area by viewing their websites, reading 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.

My husband and I were introduced to Brooke by our wedding planner and we couldn't be happier! We had a wonderful experience, she does great work and is so nice to work with. Brooke made the experience fun on a (typically) stressful day, it was 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!!

Brooke was absolutely wonderful, patient, fun, gave great instructions and best off all took beautiful pictures! We loved her!
