My husband and I used Christina James Photography for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Christina was very easy to work with during the whole process. My husband and I didn't know what to expect and are generally more conservative about... our relationship. We were a little nervous to pose together romantically for our engagement photos and didn't even know what poses to use! Christina eased our nerves and told us exactly where to stand and where to place our arms. With that being said, I also felt very comfortable asking for a specific photo. We received our engagement photos via digital file within 2 weeks. The photos turned out fabulous! She has a way of capturing the light perfectly.
We chose to use Christina again for our wedding photos as well. She was willing to travel 2 hours to capture our wedding day. The additional cost for a distance wedding was minimal, in my opinion. I had some ideas of photos for getting ready and photos with the wedding party. For the most part though, Christina told us where to stand and where to look, which is exactly what I wanted! On our wedding day, I didn't want to carry around a sheet with all the poses and photos I wanted. A few weeks before the wedding, Christina sent me a sheet with information about our wedding party, what poses I wanted, family dynamics, etc. I never had to worry on my wedding day about missing a photo/moment. The photos turned out amazing, again--no surprise! I loved that she was able to capture the more candid/vulnerable moments of my husband and I throughout the day. We received our digital files with 500 photos within 5 days of the wedding. FIVE DAYS! We have received so many compliments from our family about how the photos turned out. My grandma, who was unable to attend, said my husband and I looked like models!
Overall, outstanding experience with a knowledgeable, relaxed photographer. I would highly recommend. And I will continue to use Christina James photography for other life moments.
