Christa made my husband and I feel so comfortable from the very beginning. She traveled to D.C. to shoot our engagement session, which was included as part of the wedding package. Christa was always very responsive and most importantly, incredi...
bly flexible when we had to change our wedding plans due to COVID. On our wedding day, she stayed past her end time to shoot our surprise late night pizza food truck and sparkler exit. Her partner, who shot most of the groomsmen photos earlier in the day, made an immediate connection with the guys and made them feel super comfortable during the photo shoot. I'd recommend Christa to anybody for any special occasion. She was wonderful and we will always have amazing memories from our wedding because of her!
Christa is absolutely wonderful. She did our newborn photo session after being our wedding photographer 5 years ago. Her photography style is refreshing - not over-posed or over-edited, but rather more natural and light. Christa is super sweet,...
and has a calm, proficient, and focused nature about her. We are absolutely thrilled with our new family photos!
Christa is simply fantastic to work with and the final product was remarkable. She's comforting, professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgable. Christa listened and made recommendations equally, making her the perfect photographer for our ...
process. She was surgical during our wedding, which helped alleviate a naturally hectic night. It never seemed like she was interrupting, yet she was able to capture every moment. From start to finish, we couldn't recommend Christa enough.
Christa was and still is such a pleasure to work with. She did my engagement photos, wedding day photos, and now creating my wedding photo albums. She is very professional, sweet, and talented! Highly recommend her for your special day.
Christa is an incredible photographer and we are so happy we booked her to capture our wedding and engagement photos. My wife and I weren’t quite sure what to expect taking a bunch of intimate photos in front of a stranger, but Christa made us ...
feel comfortable and like we were with friends. We are the most impressed with all of the small moments Christa captured of our friends and family. She was super prepared, having our timeline down to the minute, and was flexible when things inevitably changed during the wedding day.
She was very quick to respond to our questions and usually got back to us the same day. We received a sneak peek within 24 hours of the wedding and engagement shoots, and had over 1000 photos of the wedding within two weeks! We have been recommending her to all of our friends getting married in the area, you are in good hands with Christa!
Christa is a must have wedding photographer! She was one of the first vendors we selected and it was the best decision. Christa is very easy to get along with and down to earth. We had a very playful wedding party and she was able to get everyo...
ne's attention for photos. Christa listened to the ideas we had about certain shots and gave alternatives to shots to make sure we had the best photos. We are completely in love with our wedding photos. Christa is very talented and I trust her 100%. I would definitely recommend her for any wedding or event!
We are so incredibly pleased with Christa and her photos! She and her other photographer have such a beautiful artistic eye and our wedding photos are AMAZING! They are so beautiful and she caught some of the best and funniest moments of our re...
ception.
We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and they make us want to relive the day all over again.
We knew we didn't want to hold back when it came to a photographer and after working with her at a friend's wedding last year, there was no doubt that we wanted her.
Her work ethic is excellent and she blends in with her surroundings to make it seem like she's not even there, capturing the most memorable moments. When things seemed to get stressful, she was one of the first people to calm us down, saying it'll get taken care of.
She also does pregnancy and baby photos, and I know that once we are ready to start a family we will be using her again.
1000% recommend.
Christa was one of the first vendors we booked for our October wedding and we are so happy we did! From the very beginning, Christa was extremely responsive and professional. She would answer all of questions within minutes and made us feel so ...
comfortable throughout the entire planning process. Before the wedding day, Christa called us to go over the logistics of our day to make sure everything would run smoothly. On the wedding day, she was organized, energetic, and knew how to get things done with a tight timeline. One of the best things about Christa is that she seemed like more than a photographer to us! Not only did she take flawless pictures, but she made sure that our day ran as smooth as possible and that we were able to take in all of the special moments. Christa is absolutely amazing and we would recommend her to any engaged couple!!
Christa was our very first vendor that we booked. She would always answer all my questions so quickly, she was essential in helping me create a timeline for the wedding day, and she made us feel on top of the world. From the very beginning we h...
ad Christa climbing onto of crazy obstacles and standing in the freezing cold for us. She did all of that with the biggest smile on her face. She made sure she captured the best photos for us. We really felt like we made a friend out of Christa, someone we will always cherish for being such an ESSENTIAL part of our wedding. The engagement photos were absolutely fantastic and the sneak peeks that we received already were breathtaking. Please do not look any further, Christa is the photographer you need for your wedding. Once you book with her, you do not need to worry about anything else. She was the ONLY vendor that I could say that for! Thank you Christa!!!!
Christa was a joy to work with for our wedding! She went above and beyond and was always so quick to respond to any questions/emails we had. On the day of our wedding,, she was amazing! She kept us on our timeline day of our wedding but we neve...
r felt rushed. She photographed our wedding by herself and she worked so well with our videographer. We received our wedding album.. and honestly I don't know how she captured all of the moments so perfectly! We were watching the video footage from our wedding and we realized how quickly Christa had to react in some moments to get the best picture... and she did just that! My husband and I are so impressed with the fact that Christa was there for every moment and the pictures really captured our personalities. It was a pleasure working with her and we are so very grateful for all of her hard work!! The photos are amazing and it is so nice being able to relive the day by looking at the pictures. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone in the area!
Christa is an absolute gem. She was so amazing to work with -- kind, caring and professional. From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, she was integral in helping to make sure our day went off without a hitch. We had a LOT of family and fr...
iends to capture in our photos but Christa handled it all so seamlessly - something we look back on our big day and smile about. Every single one of our photos came out absolutely beautiful. We cannot imagine our day without Christa and her talents! Can't wait to shoot with her again one day :) Thank you Christa!!!
Christa was one of the first vendors we booked and we could not have been happier with our decision. She was very responsive and helpful during our planning process and for the day of our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. She was fant...
astic during our engagement session that we did in Downtown Annapolis and was very patient with having our two dogs join in the photo shoot. She is a true professional and it is amazing to watch her in action . She is very passionate about what she does and I do not know how she does it all so gracefully. We had a super hot August day and both she and the second photographer took it all in stride and always with a smile. They were able to get so many amazing shots during getting ready, our first look, the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We had many people in our wedding party and other guests commenting on how awesome she was - she remembered everyone's names and captured all of our favorite parts of the night. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she was very helpful with keeping our day on track - even making sure we got some special photos of just me and my Husband before the sunset. She also was able to provide a sneak peek the day after our wedding so we could see some photos before we left for our Honeymoon. Now that we have our full wedding album back, I am obsessed with all of the photos. The hardest part will be picking out our favorites to print! I am enjoying looking at every single one and seeing the ceremony and reception details, formals, family portraits and all of the candid action to relive our most favorite day! You will not regret hiring Christa and I sincerely hope that we can work together again for any other photography needs in the future.
Christa was absolutely amazing. She is the kindest person and the BEST wedding photographer you could have! I still look at my wedding photos every day because I am just so obsessed! Christa made sure my day went smoothly and I had nothing to w...
orry about. It was like she was a second wedding coordinator. She even took a bobby pin out of her own hair to fix mine and make sure it was perfect! You are in great hands with Christa, she is the best!!
Christa Rae Settle is the BEST photographer. She is so calm, easygoing, happy, positive, and professional. She gets along with everyone, and handles family dynamics well. She was very approachable when we had questions, never making us feel lik...
e we were asking too much. She also is such a talented photographer, capturing all of the moments and emotions of our special day so perfectly. We loved her natural, genuine style of photography. Our photos turned out too good to be true! We would hire her again in a heart beat, and hope to have her photograph more special moments in our lives! Can't recommend her highly enough.
Christa was amazing throughout the whole process. She answered questions I had throughout the journey. When she showed up for the wedding she was well organized and ready to hit the ground running. She was very sweet and professional. She made ...
taking pictures easy and didn't waste any time. She was all over during the reception making sure to get all sorts of shots. My husband and I loved working with her. What we saw so far is amazing and cannot wait to see the rest!! I would HIGHLY recommend her!
Christa did a phenomenal job with our wedding photos. We got married at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and Christa knew all the best angles and lighting to make the pictures perfect. We are so happy we chose Christa to be our photographer. She a...
lways responded very quickly to our emails and questions and was a delight to work with the day of the wedding. Our family and friends will cherish these pictures forever. Thank you Christa!
We loved working with Christa! She is sweet, professional, and very talented! From emails and phone calls, to our engagement shoot, to the wedding day, working with Christa was great. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are absolutely ...
beautiful! It is so hard to pick favorites because they are all stunning! She is very cool, calm, and collected and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the pictures we wanted. She made us feel very comfortable. Even my bridesmaids couldn’t help but comment that day of how great she was. One of my bridesmaids has been in quite a few weddings recently and she said that Christa was her favorite photographer she has worked with!
I cannot say enough great things about Christa. She was the absolute best! I am so happy we chose her to be our wedding photographer. She was so personable and very responsive to any questions we had leading up to our wedding day. I am in love ...
with my wedding photos, and she got them back to us quickly! I would highly recommend Christa to any bride to be!
We had a truly wonderful and talented photographer named Christa Rae Settle for our wedding! She is an Annapolis, Maryland native, just like me and has been capturing weddings in the Mid-Atlantic for years! She also has a background in photogra...
phing live music performances and brings so much energy, passion and humor to the task of documenting couples on the most important day of their lives! Cheryl and I had such a wonderful experience working with her! If you are looking for a wedding photographer in or near Maryland, you can't do any better than Christa!
“One of the easiest decisions that we made regarding our wedding plans was to choose Christa as the photographer for our wedding! We were terribly impressed with the photographs in her portfolio but her background in photographing and capturin...
g such incredible moments at concerts and live music performances convinced us that she was the perfect shooter for our special day. We had a terrific initial meeting with her and told her that we wanted her to photograph our wedding before it was over. In addition to how easy she made the whole process of planning our shoot, she was also enormously helpful in planning several other aspects of our wedding, even recommending some other vendors that we ended up using. On the day of our wedding, we did a first look and Christa created some gorgeous shots of us at the Maryland State House, on Francis Street, Main Street and at the City Dock. She did a wonderful job of making the process easy and fun! Once we were at the venue, she faded into the background to capture some wonderful moments during our ceremony and then did a fantastic job of corralling family and friends for some beautiful portraits just outside our venue, the Powerhouse Building on West Street. Once the Reception began, she was capturing the more significant highlights of the evening while also discovering a lot of smaller, more intimate moments between us and our closest family and friends. We were very impressed when we saw the preview shots that she sent us the week after our ceremony. This couldn't begin to prepare us for how astounded we were with the quality of the pictures we saw once she had completed her editing process! We have already looked through the album multiple times and it has been like reliving our wedding day all over again! We were beyond pleased with the spectacular job that she did in documenting the most important day of our lives and have already discussed working with her again!”
If you’re in search for a photographer look no further! Christa Rae is the complete package! My husband and I were stationed in San Diego for most of the planning but from the beginning she made us feel at ease and confident that no matter how ...
the day turned out she would deliever truly fantastic and beautiful photos. The moment she arrived, her professionalism and positive energy created such a natural and at ease environment for not only my husband and I but also the entire bridal party! Christa took all of our ideas and made every one of the happen (even if it meant walking around Downtown Annapolis on a beautiful crisp Saturday=a lot of tourist). Her turn around was unbelievably quick and the quality of the photos were superb! A 100% you will enjoy every photo!!
Christa is so talented and professional! We received nothing but compliments about her the entire night from our guests, and our pictures turned out beautiful! Someone actually told me that they feel bad for me because picking out pictures for ...
albums/enlarging will be SO difficult since every single picture was amazing! She was the first photographer I met with, and I knew after meeting her that she was the one. She helped so much through the process and answered any of my questions. Christa is truly one of the best photographers in the area, and we will definitely be using her again in the future for professional photos!
Christa was such a pleasure to work with and we were totally at ease with her throughout the whole process for our Annapolis wedding. Most importantly, the photographs are STUNNING! Thank you again, Christa!
We had the pleasure of working with Christa as our wedding photographer and we loved her! Christa was very responsive, so kind and captured our day perfectly. We were also very happy with her assistant. I would definitely recommend Christa Rae...
Photography to anyone who is looking!
Christa is simply amazing! She is organized, so prompt with communication, and dedicated to capturing the best photos! I never once saw her sit down at our wedding. In fact, at one point she stood on a chair just to get the best shot. Christa i...
s the sweetest and so easy to connect with. She did the photography at my sister's wedding and we absolutely loved her that we booked her right away for ours. Her photos are very natural which I love. She has a photography timeline which helps keep the day running smoothly and on time. I emailed her a few sample pictures of shots that I really wanted, and she was very accepting of that and made those shots happen on our wedding day. She posted a sneak peek photo the very next day which is awesome! Since our wedding was on my in-law's property, I knew it was a venue she had never seen before, even though she is from the area. So she came over for a site visit before the wedding just to walk around the property with me and figure out where the best place for photos were so we weren't scrambling to figure it out the day of the wedding. She even drove us about 3 minutes down the road to take more photos during our cocktail hour of where my husband and I met. She really just wants to best for you and will do anything you want. I am so happy we picked Christa for our wedding photographer and can't wait to see all the photos soon!
We have absolutely loved working with Christa! She is wonderful, so responsive and thoughtful, and of course the pictures are all gorgeous!!! Christa worked with us to schedule our engagement shoot and was so helpful in making sure we got all o...
f the shots we wanted in our pretty tight schedule (we had a packed night!). Christa captured all the fun of our reception, beautiful night shots and so much of the ceremony and decorations that really just passed me by on the day since it's such a whirlwind. I would highly recommend Christa to anyone looking for a wonderful, talented photographer!
Christa is absolutely amazing! She was our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. She is so great to work with and is so responsible, organized, creative, and sweet! She was so efficient in getting our ...
photos back to us and her communication is great. I couldn’t be happier with her work and couldn’t reccomend her more!!! Thank you Christa for capturing our perfect day!!
I cannot say enough good things about Christa. From the engagement photo shoot to post wedding, she has been delightful to work with: pleasant, responsive, thorough, and clearly passionate about her work. I had an unfortunate and extreme rain s...
torm event for my wedding day (7/21/18), and Christa came prepared with umbrellas and my pictures are beautiful. I have no hesitations in recommending Christa to anyone for their photography needs. She is the best!
I found Christa by a random Google image search when I originally thought I wanted to do our engagement photos at Cylburn Arboretum. Further exploration through her portfolio and our first meeting sealed the deal! Christa's attention to detail ...
and experience running her own business shines not only from each photo taken but from Christa's presence behind the camera as well. At our initial meeting, she worked with me to find the best package for what we had budgeted for photography. Throughout the engagement, whenever I had a question, Christa responded very promptly and with extremely helpful suggestions. We had some unique ideas for our engagement session involving two locations that were not super close to each other, and Christa welcomed these with open arms and made our vision a reality. It was no different for the wedding day. We met about a week beforehand and had the opportunity to walk through our venue space together, which cleared up any last minute questions I had and made me feel calm, cool, and collected about our timeline/day-of game plan. Christa and her 2nd shooter met us at the hotel for getting-ready photos, and were very patient when the bridesmaids and I got behind schedule to make it to the first look location. Once we got there, there were 3-4 other wedding parties at the same spot taking photos! Christa, unfazed, knew exactly where to place us and you'd think we had Federal Hill all to ourselves! We had so many wonderful areas to take photos at our venue, and Christa made the most of them so that we have a variety to choose from! We even sprung a last minute getaway car exit on her, and she stepped right up and made all of those photos look perfect, as well. If you're looking for a professional photographer who is easy to work with, knows the Baltimore/Annapolis area well, takes beautiful photographs, and can organize large groups of people quickly and smoothly (we requested a group photo of ALL our attendees), look no further! Thanks Christa!
Deciding to use Christa Rae was probably the best decision I made in the entire wedding process. She's professional, she's affordable and she's genuinely a really nice, down to earth person who provides high quality photos that have a personal ...
touch. It rained the day of our wedding and Christa was prepared with an alternative location already in mind for the first look, and she brought enough clear umbrellas for the entire wedding party to stay dry and still get super cute photos outside. Christa Rae really made our wedding an amazing experience and all our photos turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined!
Christa was truly wonderful to work with! She photographed our wedding and took engagement photos for us. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and took the time to get to know us. She was very fun and easy to get along with. The ...
pictures we received from our wedding day were amazing and everything we imagined. Every tiny detail (flowers, invitation, etc) was captured and she made sure the pictures you wanted were taken as well. I would recommend her as a photographer to anyone. She is truly a talented photographer and I am so happy with all the pictures we received!
Christa is an absolute gem to work with and I couldn't be happier with our photos. She always responded immediately, no matter how many questions this crazy bride had! She also did an amazing job of dealing with our at-times crazy family member...
s at the wedding :P She has a true gift and I would (and do!) recommend her to all of my family, friends, and any stranger I meet. I'm over the moon at the final product but that is just a small part of it - Christa was amazing the whole year and a half leading up to our wedding, from engagement photos to questions immediately answered any time day or night to the wedding day to our pictures. Thank you Christa!!!
Christa is amazing! She was recommend by the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and we are SOOO happy we had Christa as our photographer. She is so easy to talk to, very professional and very responsive. Christa provided us with a photo the day after ou...
r wedding and a larger sneak peek a few days after our wedding! We got our full gallery within 3 weeks of our wedding! We highly recommend Christa!!
Christa was 100% a joy to work with and worth every single penny!!! She has a clear passion for her work and has a calm and friendly demeanor that was perfect on the day of the wedding. She was never aggressive or demanding, always asked if we ...
were ready for certain pictures, but still kept us on our photo schedule. I also appreciated how proud and excited she seemed about her own work as she would happily show me a preview of a couple of shots she got on her camera screen as we went along. This made me feel more confident that things were going well and I think the carefree bride and groom feelings came across in the pictures we received. I thought taking the pictures would feel like a bit of a chore on the wedding day but we honestly had so much fun doing it. A positive attitude and environment can change everything! We also worked with Christa for an engagement shoot which I would highly recommend doing. The engagement shoot gave us some practice with posing and what to expect for the day of. On the wedding day (even though it was almost a year after our first shoot with her!) we felt like pros and were very comfortable. This is saying a lot, especially for my new husband who has always been very camera shy - you would not know it from looking at the pictures we received! She understood how to work with us, she was attune to our theme and the poses we liked best, I honestly could go on and on about how happy we are that we chose Christa to be our wedding photographer. The only question I'm left with is how many wedding pictures can you hang up in your own home before people think you are nuts? We could not be happier.
Christa Rae....
what what can I️ say? Lots! When I️ viewed Christa’s website, I️ knew she would be the person we were looking for. From her sampling of photos to her personal info on “Meet Christa”. My Daughters wedding was on Gibson Island, Ma...
ryland and Christa spent a lot of time with us reviewing the venue and photo opportunities, as there were many to choose from on the island. Christa answered all our questions, leaving us feeling very comfortable and always answered them promptly! I️ reached out to her many times at odd hours as I️ was burning the candle at both ends....... She even responded to one of my late evening texts while she was at one of the many music venues she loves to attend.
Christa was the first photographer my daughter and I️ met and the last....my daughter didn’t need to look any further. It ended up being the easiest and best decision of all our wedding planning decisions. Christa is adorable, talented and easy to work with. We would recommend her as your wedding photographer. We wish you the best Christa Rae!
We had Christa doing photo shooting for both of our engagement and wedding a few months ago based on my coworker's recommendation, and we can't be happier with her work. She is extremely professional and highly skilled to catch those special ha...
ppy moments for us. Very responsive via emails and texts, and quick in getting the photos ready for you as she definitely understands how eager her clients are to see those photos! She would rather work late at night to get those photos ready on time, so I was particularly impressed & appreciative for her hard working attitude. Also, she was pretty flexible with our schedule and location. Overall, great quality of service, very easy to work with, and lots of fun!!
Christa was amazing to say the least! She was very professional and personal throughout our engagement and on our wedding day! I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a great photographer! She got all of the poses and photos that we wan...
ted and did it within a strict time frame! Save yourself some stress and reserve your date with Christa. It will be your best decision.
Christa was beyond fantastic! Her material helped give me an idea of what photographs I even wanted. She responded to my e-mails quickly, and was helpful in providing ideas when I thought it would rain. I only have a sneak peak from my wedding,...
but that single photo was incredible. I can't wait to get see the rest! She was nice but capable in herding my loud distracted family for group photos. Thank you Christa for providing quality service at an affordable price!
We were so lucky to have Christa photograph our wedding day this past May!! From the start, Christa was wonderful. I had emailed her once a friend recommended her and Christa got back to me right away and was very timely with and emails through...
out the whole process. She actually cared to know the back story of how my husband and I met, and our story of how we came to be. She had great recommendations when it came to my wedding timeline as to what usually works best, and was very helpful every step of the way. When wedding day came, it was a rainy and kind of gloomy outside, but Christa still captured such beautiful photos! She was a trooper and hung outside in the rain with us in order to capture those important moments, all with a smile on her face. I loved that she had such attention to detail throughout the whole process as well. If my necklace was crooked, dress not laying right, lipstick smeared, ANYTHING...Christa picked up on those small things and helped me to correct them in order to make things perfect.
Christa has an incredible talent and is a truly genuine person, who is a pleasure to have around on such a big day! I would highly recommend her!
Christa was absolutely amazing. Our venue (Chesapeake Bay Beach Club) recommended her, as she has done quite a few weddings there. She was very easy to get in touch with, super responsive, and met with us to go through everything before we made...
our decision. She took our engagement pictures as well and they turned out beautifully. One of the easiest decisions I had to make during this whole process. Her personality sold me as I wanted someone who was calm and nice, knew what they were doing, but weren't bossy, and really had a passion for photography. Christa checked all of those boxes. She knew the right angles, when the sun was setting to get good backgrounds and all the best places to take pictures at the venue (and our engagement shoot). We got our photos back very quickly and they turned out better then I could have imagined. Highly recommend her for any photo shoots!
Christa Rae Photography is a wonderful vendor to use for your special day. I was so lucky to have her as a photographer on I'm special day. She is high quality, so much that I recommend her to anyone. She has photographed my brother-in-laws we...
dding and in June She will be doing my best friend's wedding in June. I am so honored to be working with her again so much, but also for my maternity photos in the late winter. Christa is a wonderful person to work with and a great joy!
Christa and I have been friends for years and have even worked together at a few different jobs but I had never been a client before now. I love her as a person beforehand but she is also fantastic to work with as a photographer! We hired her a...
s our photographer for our wedding in September 2017. She is so professional and personable! Her prices are affordable for fantastic quality and experience! She has great ideas and is always so excited to be there to help you celebrate your day. She takes so much joy in sharing each moment of your special day with you. And she's makes sure everything happens in a timely manner so that you can enjoy your time with friends and family as well as each other. I highly recommend Christa as your wedding photographer.
Christa was our wedding photographer in July 2017. She was fantastic to work with! She was accommodating with last minute changes, helped me create a Pinterest board with ideas for shots I wanted, and kept track of time so we could still enjoy ...
time with our guests. Her magazine she sent after we booked her was super helpful in planning the timeline and had a lot of great ideas. She even met with me twice to finalize any and all plans. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
We are so happy we chose Christa to capture our big day!! She seemed to be behind the scenes and unnoticeable, yet captured truly amazing pictures. She must have been running all over during the ceremony because there are so many different vant...
age points of the ceremony! She captured all the pictures that we wanted, even making sure we got the poses I had posted on Pinterest (despite me emailing her only on the morning of the wedding to tell her I had created a board!!). We couldn't believe we got the edited pictures back as quickly as we did - nor could my friends who have been married. The pictures are gorgeous and have us reliving the day over and over with huge smiles! The only problem is we can't decide which photos to print!

Christa was an absolute dream photographer! She was so sweet and easy to work with and I am so happy I discovered her! It took her less than two weeks from our wedding for her to get us our pictures and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. ...
I spent hours swooning over all of them. She captured so many incredible moments and our photos were absolutely stunning! I would 100% recommend Christa to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She beyond exceeded my expectations and I am so glad we chose her to capture the best day of our lives!
I was so lucky to come across Christa's work from a wedding she did that a friend of mine posted on Facebook. Just clicking though a few pictures, not even knowing or speaking with Christa I knew right away that I wanted her to photograph our w...
edding! Our engagement shoot was wonderful--my Husband and I are both camera shy and she made it very easy and casual all while taking great shots of us. Our wedding photos are absolutely spectacular. Five months later, and I still have the tab open with our photos to look at them whenever I get a chance. Christa did such a wonderful job capturing every moment of our special day and I am so thankful for that. I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed!
Christa and her assistant were amazing to have on our wedding day on October 8th of this year! We literally got our pictures back today, in an extremely timely manner. She was able to capture every moment of the day perfectly. As my husband and...
I sat looking through all the pictures, we felt like we were reliving the day.
She is highly recommended!!!
The week before the wedding, my husband and I lost our original photographer. We contacted everyone in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania to find a last-minute replacement. Of all the photographers we found, Christa was the one we most hoped w...
ould contact us back. We were beyond thrilled when she not only reached out to us but also quoted us an extraordinarily reasonable package price. Things only got better from there.
With less than seven days before the "I dos," Christa still set aside time to speak with us to get to know us as a couple. She got on board with all of our must-have shots and, on the day of, executed them to perfection. Her photos of the ceremony capture the feel of the moment perfectly, and her portraits of the family are formal without feeling stilted. She got our wedding party to relax a bit, too, for some more casual shots that are among our favorite. The photos of the reception turned out just as incredible. A sampling of her work from our wedding can be seen on her blog: http://www.christaraephotography.com/barn-at-springfield-farm-wedding-maryland-photographer/
My husband and I are so grateful to have found Christa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for bright, genuine photos of your special day.
We actually met Christa at the @Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Bowties & Bubbly Bridal Show event in January and we're so glad we bumped into her! We won a free engagement photo session with her from that bridal show which was such an amazing experi...
ence. Christa was so professional, easy to work with, friendly and personable. She really put us at ease while we were being photographed for the session. Within ONE day, she turned around some of the photos and shared them with us! I wasn't expecting that at all, so it was a nice surprise when I saw some teaser photos on her FB page. We will definitely be using Christa in the future for many events I would highly recommend using her services for anyone who lives in the Baltimore/Annapolis area. You'll be glad you did!
