Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with CKP. We originally met with Chris over Zoom, and expressed that we were looking for a photographer that would shoot our photos "true to color" as we weren't fans of the current "light and a...iry" trend. He reassured us that the photos would have a classic look and wouldn't be overexposed. We really enjoyed our chat with him and felt confident he understood our vision, so we went ahead and booked him. Fast forward a year or so, and we booked our engagement shoot with them a couple months before the wedding (neither of us live in Charlotte so we couldn't do it sooner). Kerri ended up being the one to take our photos. We were sort of surprised because we had never met her before and were under the impression that Chris would be our photographer, but the session went well and our photos turned out good so we were okay with it. On the day of our wedding, Kerri was again our photographer with another assistant. Kerri was sort of withdrawn and unfriendly, but I thought maybe she was just focused or having a bad day. But unfortunately, she also didn't seem very well prepared. I would ask her where we were going to take our wedding party photos or family portraits and she didn't have a plan. Maybe I should have figured that out in advance, but I figured part of her job as photographer was to have a "vision" and find places with good lighting and background, since I didn't know how they would come out in pictures. Either way, it added stress and threw our schedule off on the day of the wedding, which was not ideal. Additionally, I didn't feel like she made an effort to ensure the photos would actually turn out GOOD. She didn't fix hair or dresses, etc. The only bridal portrait I have, my hair is in my face. And for all our family portraits, my dress is all bunched up. I know she can't fix everything, but I wish she would have paid a bit more addition to detail. Finally, the biggest issue, was when our pictures came back, they were SO over exposed. I literally cried when I opened our portfolio and couldn't bring myself to look at half of them because I was so upset. I hated to be difficult, but my friends and family encouraged me to reach out because we had specifically asked for photos that were true to color. When I met with Kerri, she was clearly annoyed and very dismissive, constantly, saying, "You're sure you want it like THIS?" It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever been through. In the end, she did edit our photos and they look much better. But the whole experience really put a sour taste in my mouth. It's taken my months to be able to go through them and post some to social media. With some time, the photos are growing on me and she did a good job capturing all the elements, which is why I gave her 2 stars. But I can't say that I would use CKP again or recommend them to a friend. Looking through the comments, it seems like they work great as a pair, and I'm sure that's the case. So if you do want to use this photographer, maybe make sure that's discussed!
