Just as I knew he would, Christian KILLED IT with our photos. So did Michael, his second shooter that I requested VERY last minute. Christian was patient, level-headed the whole day (exactly what I needed) and every single one of our photos is absolutely incredible. I get so many compliments on these amazing memories that we have to flip through forever and ever! Thanks, Christian and Michael! Go Vikings!
All I can say is WOW! Christian did an amazing job capturing our special day. He was attentive, creative, professional, and provided us our photos within the time frame that he said it would take. There wasn't a missed moment in the photos. Even a surprise fire drill in out hotel was captured magically in our photos.
Overall, I highly recommend Christian for any of your photography needs. You will not regret it!
Christian was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was super responsive via email throughout the entire process. He made us super comfortable from the moment we met and provided lots of direction (which is super helpful for a couple who doesn't take a ton of photos!) We had pictures from our wedding back in a very short amount of time and are absolutely head over heels in love with the results!! Everyone we have shared our photos with has absolutely loved them!
My husband and I truly cannot say enough good things about Christian! From the very beginning, he was very responsive to our emails and patient in answering all of our questions. When we were overwhelmed with all the little details, he went above and beyond by helping us determine a good wedding day timeline. Our original wedding date was 03.28.20, but we had to cancel at the last minute due to Covid-19. Unfortunately, some of our wedding vendors were very unsupportive of our decision to cancel our wedding and elope. They offered little flexibility in the middle of one of the worst experiences of my life! However, Christian was one vendor who stepped up and supported us and showed kind, patient flexibility as we re-worked our wedding plans. On the day of our wedding re-do in March of 2021, Christian helped our day run smoothly. He kept us on schedule for photos and captured all of the day’s sweetest moments. Our families and bridal party all felt very comfortable with Christian, and he did a fantastic job directing everyone—from our elderly grandparents to our toddler nephew! Over all, one of the BEST decisions we made in planning our wedding was booking Christian. He exceeded all of our expectations, and the memories he captured are ones that we are so grateful to have forever!
Christian David Photo did an amazing job capturing all of the details of my wedding day. He was professional and very easy to work with. The quality and creativity of the photos are outstanding!
Christian is nothing less than phenomenal. He took our proposal day pictures back in August and our engagement pictures in November, and they far exceeded our hopes - every single one of them is STUNNING. He is an unbelievably brilliant photographer, professional, punctual, dependable, energetic, and relational. He makes the entire process so easy and stress-free (which speaks to how good he is at what he does). He takes all you hope for and envision in your pictures, integrates them with his creativity and raw talent, and goes above and beyond to make dreams a reality. He crossed state borders, hiked through trails and water, and hid in a botanical garden just to capture "us!!" From genuine laughter to the most intimate moments, he will capture moments in a photograph that radiate who you are as a couple. Having photos like that - that is a gift we will cherish forever. We would trust Christian a million times over as our photographer.
Christian photographed our mini-mony during these crazy pandemic times. He was incredibly flexible and understanding of a wedding where I didn't know all the details until the last minute. He was punctual and friendly and really guided us to get the best shots. In the end, while my wedding felt so last minute and thrown together, I have these beautiful pictures thanks to Christian that make it feel so effortless and graceful. I can't wait to work with Christian for my reception!
Christian is everything you could hope for in a photographer. Our wedding was in early April 2020, right as shutdowns were beginning to happen because of Covid. Christian stuck with us through all of the re-planning and time/venue changes in the eleventh hour. It's because of his stellar communication and dependability that we're able to have photos of that day at all! But even beyond that, the photos he delivered are works of art. He has an artistic eye and an all-around perceptiveness that made for capturing the best moments. Our wedding wasn't exactly how we originally pictured it would be, but thanks to Christian, we'll be able to remember it in the most beautiful light. We're so grateful we chose to partner with such a skilled, kind professional — it really did make all the difference.
We booked Christian through Instagram for a small social-distanced COVID-19 elopement and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was prompt, responsive, and flexible for our needs, willing do do a first-look in our backyard and ceremony at a hiking trial around the corner. We absolutely love how he captured the colors of nature in our photos. We aren't people who are traditionally comfortable in front of a camera, but he made us feel really at ease and we had a lot of fun. He mixed in poses but also let us be ourselves. The turnaround time for previews and our gallery was also a lot faster than expected! Highly recommend for a great, professional, non-judgmental photographer who takes stunning photos. 10/10!
It was such a joy to work with Christian! He was professional, easy to work with, and captured our COVID-19 elopement in such a beautiful and artistic way. I really appreciate how he directed poses and preemptively found the best lighting/shots without being overbearing or in the way of intimate moments. We will forever cherish our pictures!
Christian was such a great guy to work with. He took our engagement photos and we knew after that session that we wanted him to capture the photos of our special day. Being a Covid-19 changed wedding left everything as an unknown. We ended up losing everything from the original dress to the guests to the full bridal party and family. In the end we had 20 of us counting the owners of the venue and Christian. It was beautiful and he did such a great job making us forget he was there while at the same time still helping it feel like a traditional wedding.
My favorite photos take my breath away even after seeing so many times now. He does an amazing job with lighting and makes everything look so natural yet magical!! We just love our photos and look forward to the phots he is going to capture at our celebration later this year!
Christian traveled a quite the way to shoot our wedding in Canton, GA. He was punctual, professional, creative and willing to work with our crazy huge family. I wanted him to shoot our wedding because he’s not your everyday photographer. He has such an eye for very unique shots, which is what we wanted. He captured EVERY aspect of our big day. I could not have asked for a better outcome! Plus, we received our pictures back rather quickly! A big thank you to Christian for giving us the best memories that we can look back on for years to come!
Christian did a wonderful job with our wedding photos. He was engaged, creative, professional and efficient in all that he provided. It was very easy to communicate with Christian and for us to share ideas in helping shape the style of shooting and photos produced at our wedding. We really enjoying working with him and would highly recommend to anyone in need of great photos of a special time.
We first encountered Mr. Turner as a photographer when he was shooting at the wedding of a friend of ours. We were so impressed with the photographs he took that, when it was time to plan our own wedding, he was at the very top of our list.
It was as much a pleasure to work with Mr. Turner as it had been to see his wonderful photographs. His fee schedule is transparent and upfront, and the service he provides is worth every penny. He worked with us to ensure that he understood fully what kinds of photos we wanted, and he more than delivered.
Mr. Turner does a very good job with the traditional portraits which are so ubiquitous at weddings. He shines, however, at capturing the timeless, spur-of-the-moment displays of love and affection which cannot be staged; he unobtrusively got photographs of everything from my father-in-law blustering away with his brother in a moment of fraternal joy to me kissing my wife's hand after our dance. Special moments like these are so hard to photograph, but Mr. Turner did it marvelously.
My wife and I are both happy to suggest that you consider Mr. Turner for any of your photography needs.
Planning a wedding 5 states away was extremely hard, but Christian made it easy and stress free.
We fell in love with Christian’s work just through his website, but on our wedding day, we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We abused him by getting married in the 90 degree summer outside in Athens and he didn’t complain about the sweat once! He was with the girls getting ready at 9, followed the boys around some bars downtown, hikes north campus and shot some beautiful photos at Thompson House and Gardens where our ceremony and reception took place, hanging out until 11!
When we received our photos (in no time), it was clear we made the right decision. Each part of the day ended up looking completely different in our pics, based on what was happening but still flowed through our day. The getting ready pics were casual and fun, bar and north campus we’re light and bright, ceremony was polished, reception was loud and dramatic.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better results- he even captured some real gems on our disposable cameras during the reception! Will definitely consider reaching back out for our family photos in the future!
We found Christian Turner Photography through our friends and I'm so greatful we did! When I saw his work, not only did I love how great my friends looked in their wedding and reception photos but also I loved the composition, perspective, and vibrancy. I recalled that at their party how he was everywhere he needed to be, energetically scoping out the best shot and capturing all the special moments. Checking out his website sealed the deal. Immediately, I knew this was to be our photographer. The only hurdle was his availability on our wedding date. Miraculously, he was available!!!!! From the very beginning, Christian was (and is) very easy to work with. His website perfectly reflects his work and personality. He is an easygoing, super nice individual who is very creative. My partner and I are both shy in front of the camera but Christian made us super comfortable. Whether or not you have a vision, he works with that. Even if we had a rainy or cloudy day, he would make it work. He easily adapts to whatever nature and his client throws his way which is crucial in good photography and very reassuring to the bride and groom. The day of the wedding he started out with the bridal party and immediately got to work on wedding dress and getting ready shots. We hardly knew he was there because he was busy at work being creative until group portraits and such, of course. From the wedding party photoshoot on the SW Beltline, the ceremony, the party, to even the getaway, he made sure to make our dreams come true. I think we wore him out but he rallied 200%. He even did a funny Instagram story which made us laugh out loud. We just got the email and looked through all of the photos and OH. EM. GEE. Christian exceeded our expectations! We just spent the last hour looking at our phones going through every photo, expressing how good each photo is, and reliving that day. And also saying "I didn't even know he was there" and "oh, I'm so glad he took that photo" to several of the photos. He's that good. We are absolutely speechless and I've run out of words. So I'm hoping that by sending this expeditious review two hours after he sent all the photos explains our gratefulness, excitement, and satisfaction with Christian. He captured all the moments absolutely perfectly. We will look back to this happiest day and our memory will forever be enhanced with these beautiful photographs. Book this talented awesome photographer and you'll be the happiest and assured that your photos will be masterpieces. Thank you, Christian!!!!
Christian David was everything and more than we expected. He was friendly and easy to work with, produced timely and profession photos and captured moments we will never forget. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Christian is absolutely wonderful. He did our engagement photos and wedding, and we could not be happier with the photos and memories that we will cherish forever. I have a medical condition that caused me to leave the reception early, and Christian carried on and took the photos with guests and dancing like a pro! I was able to look at the photos with my husband later and he told me all of the wonderful and hilarious stories. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, and for your sharing your artistic gift! Xoxo, Sarah
Very creative, easy to work with and excellent personality.
Before my wife and I were even engaged, we both knew we wanted Christian as our wedding photographer. His creative style, approach, and philosophy was totally in line with what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. The booking process was a breeze and he was able to fly down to San Antonio, Tx for our low key intimate wedding. On the wedding day we gave him total creative control. He did such an amazing job and seemed to be able to be everywhere at once. I'm a wedding photographer myself and had total trust in him capturing our important moments creativity. All our friends and family kept talking about how amazing he was. When we got our photos, we were blown away. We still can't stop looking through them. Christian was our largest investment for our wedding day and was totally worth it. He truly gave us such a gift that we will treasure forever.
When deciding on our wedding photographer, our decision was easy. I knew Christian and his work from college, so I immediately reached out to him and expressed interest. Christian was quick to respond and answer all my questions, and he even sat down with me and my fiance to go over our expectations for our wedding photographs. On the big day, Christian made us feel comfortable, from getting ready shots to the first look. He listened to our ideas and gave suggestions. He went non-stop all day and was very quick on his feet! The photographs turned out spectacular and we could not be happier with our decision to select Christian as our photographer.
We loved everything that Christian did for us! Christian took pictures of every detail along with taking organic and candid pictures. I was blown away by his creative style and one-of-a-kind photos. He takes stunning pictures. With not even realizing that he is there, he captures beautiful moments during the reception.
We had our wedding this past oct. in Aruba and it was everything we wanted and more.
Especially due to Christian’s professionalism and ability to deliver. We had to change our wedding date due to unforeseen circumstances, and Christian was extremely supportive and understanding of it.
From the minute that we first met, Christian answered any questions we had and quickly adjusted to any request we presented to him.
Our pictures came out great. From our rehearsal event the night before, the wedding day and the following day “trash the dress”.
Christian captured not only the total event, but he captured emotions and that is something not every photographer can do.
We recommend Christian to anyone we meet for any event that they may be planning.
Christian’s professionalism, charisma, and creativity make him one of the best in the business. His skill was especially highlighted during the reception- where he was able to seamlessly incorporate himself into the party itself- and the fun, naturally candid photos he produced were a delightful result. Christian is an energetic problem solver who impressively wrangled our families and wedding party throughout the day, resulting in beautiful photo memories that perfectly captured the wide-ranging emotions of the day. We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer!
Christian David!
Man, I could say a lot of things but I'll try to keep it short. He was the only person I ever wanted to shoot my wedding since I met him about 3 years ago! He is so easy to work with and does a AMAZING JOB! He definitely captured all the best moments and blow our mind with all the candid pictures that he got that's and my wife will cherish forever!
It was very easy to communicate with Christian. He answered all my questions and always responded back in a timely manner. He really considered me and worked with my budget which always is a plus. I would definitely recommend using him for your next event!

Working with Christian was incredible and I wholeheartedly recommend hiring him for his wedding photography services. Christian is a rare talent and captured our day with creativity and style, all while working efficiently and putting us at ease with his calming demeanor. The day was super fun and we were extremely happy with the results!
I don’t even know where to start. Christian does beautiful work. He was so easy to work with and took care of everything, leaving us completely stress free and able to enjoy our day from start to finish. His photos are unlike any other wedding photographers I’ve ever seen. He captured our day as perfectly as it was but took it a step further and found, small, unique, and beautiful details that I otherwise would have missed. I often tell people that one of my favorite moments at our wedding was getting pictures with just me and my husband. That sounds a little odd but it’s true. We weren’t stressed about time, what was next, what pictures we needed to take, etc. and that’s all because of Christian. We laughed and joked and had SO much fun taking pictures together away from everyone else. If you’re debating between a few potential photographers, don’t, because HE is your guy! You won’t regret it.
If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, look no further! Christian David Photo is an amazing photographer! Christian was actually a lifesaver for us, our original photographer cancelled on us 2 months away from the wedding, and we were so afraid we wouldn’t get another good photographer so close to the wedding day, but we ended up getting an INCREDIBLE photographer! Christian was great to work with before the wedding; he had great communication, went over every detail with us, and answered all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Christian and his second shooter were so easy to work with and very personable. He got our pictures back to us pretty quickly after the wedding, and we were blown away with how amazing they turned out. He did a great job capturing our special day. We’re so happy we have these beautiful pictures to look back on and help re-live our wedding day over and over again. I would highly recommend Christian for your wedding, or any photography needs. He is amazing!
Christian was awesome to work with. He was super responsive to any questions we had, did a great job managing time, and most importantly, captured our wedding beautifully!
