Christine Merson Photography

stine is very reliable and her work is beautiful, we are very pleased to have met and worked with her and are looking forward to seeing our album, highly recommended, thank you Christine!!

otos. She took the time to ask me questions about the wedding and offered excellent suggestions. During the wedding, Christine and her assistant were professional, easy to work with, and they were a great time! They also had great time management in which we were able to get the photos that we wanted before the sun went down. Not only were her prices reasonable, the pictures came out fantastic and we will definitely be using her in the future for family photos, etc. Thank you again Christine Merson Photography for making our wedding a dream.

I would recommend it. You will not be disappointed. Christine planned out the timeline for the entire event with me a week before the big day. Christine is a wonderful listener and was able to provide insightful suggestions to make sure the day was a stress-free as possible. Because of her years of experience, her advice really changed the course of the event in positive ways. Moments before the outdoor ceremony, the skies opened up and there was a downpour. The venue switched the ceremony to inside. Christine and her second photographer adapted to the situation as if that was the way the ceremony was originally planned. My dad was recovering from major surgery the day of the wedding. My father-in-law and godmother were also recovering from medical issues. Four days before the wedding, my husband came down with a nasty virus. Christine and her employee were able to capture everyone with a smile and with their best foot forward. Christine captured so many special and intimate moments of my wedding day without being intrusive. I will cherish each documented memory for years to come. If you choose to work with Christine, I am sure you will feel the same way. Best wishes!

much easier. She is also a genuine sweetheart and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We love her work - she capured us perfectly - and we cannot recommend her more highly.

having her part of our day and that comfort level was clearly reflected in our photos. The biggest challenge is trying to pick my favorites out of the hundreds of pictures she took!! Thank you Christine for capturing our wedding day in such fabulous pictures!! You're the best!

olved...especially for our bridal party of 22 people! We had a wedding of 230 guests and somehow Christine managed not to miss any special moments; not a tear (happy tears), kiss, smile or laugh was missed. Christine is so talented that you can actually feel the emotions of the people that were captured in the candid photos. My husband and I love our wedding photos so much that we even had Christine do the newborn photoshoot of our son, two years later. Christine is not only extremely professional and talented, but her warm personality puts you at ease on the day of your wedding day. If you want to "re-live" your wedding day thru your photos, then look no more and use Christine Person photography, you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend Christine for her amazingly beautiful work!

hey did. We were planning on crowd sourcing our friends photos afterwards and as much as we cherish all of our friend's photos, they don't hold a candle to Christine's work. Christine took the most spectacular photos of our favorite day ever. The entire day felt magical and Christine was really able to capture that for us. From the get go she was incredibly easy to work with, responding promptly to my numerous emails and questions: I didn't want any staged photos and she gently encouraged me to have family portraits and wedding party photos done - which I now of course love, I was unsure about when to have the photos taken, the list of question goes on and she helped with all of them. She helped go over the shot list before the wedding and was very supportive towards my vision while also using her expertise to guide me in the right direction. When she arrived she immediately put me at ease, she needed hardly anytime at all for set-up and jumped right in to what was definitely the most chaotic part of the wedding (the getting ready). I felt like I would feel very awkward posing for photos and she took all of our group shots and portraits so quickly they were totally painless I hardly knew they were happening! Plus they came out so beautifully I really don't know how she did it so quickly! Honestly I really could keep gushing forever, the photos are so perfect. We will love them forever and I cannot recommend Christine enough. Not only was I over the moon about the photos, she was a true pleasure to work with. Book her ASAP!

guidance on photos for the day and was so willing to get the "shot" that's important to the couple. My entire wedding album is stunning and I can relive so many precious moments, this is a talented professional, I would highly recommend her as your next photographer!

reativity, guidance, and professional advice helped my husband and I create our own vision to announce our marriage to our families. We highly recommend hiring Christine for any personal event. Her photography is high quality and simply breath taking. She was a pleasure to work with and I promise you will not be disappointed.

working well together, especially when it comes to high-pressure events like weddings. In this case, though, Christine was just the best. She handled our day with such intimacy, love, and aplomb. She worked with a second shooter that she met in person for the first time the day of our wedding and was able to expertly both delegate responsibility, as well as give the shooter room to make her own creative decisions. Whenever my husband or I had concerns in the days leading up to the event of when or where or how we would get all of the coverage we needed, Christine would always respond with an, "Oh, that's simple. That'll only take a minute." She was so relaxed and calming that it blew my mind how expertly she was steering this ship of an event. She is professional, courteous, hilarious, and delivers such beautiful work. Hire her! We're certainly glad we did.

nd under the Williamsburg bridge from across the street, as a man rode by in a bicycle. She has a strong instinct for what poses and angles look best for staged photos, but also has a great ability to capture candid moments and turn them in to lifelong memories. On the day of my wedding, Christine was a welcome calming presence in addition to a very effective executor. She knew the shots I wanted and orchestrated them perfectly without interrupting any of the festivities. When helping you select the photos you like out of the thousands taken, Christine has a keen ability to curate the best images. This can be an overwhelming experience for a bride who has many tasks, and Christine is a trusted consultant in this regard. Side notes: Christine also does amazing timeless professional headshots. I’ve used mine for many years. I have known Christine for over a decade personally and she is a beautiful human inside & out.

o have fun and make you feel special on your big day. She especially understands how to create unique shots for the most eccentric or traditional couples. She came to LA for our wedding and we are so thankful she travels! Thanks again Christine!

her forever. Christine also did our engagement shoots and even though it was a nearly 100 degree day, she shot beautiful photos and you would never guess that we were melting as we took them! I still love looking through both our wedding and engagement pictures almost daily, as she does a fantastic job and telling a story for start to finish. Our guests at our wedding had nothing but lovely things to say about her and her assistant as well. I highly recommend Christine for any photos you need done!

n and again. She was on time, efficient, and took pictures of everything we wanted! I would highly recommend Christine as a wedding photographer if you are looking for quality pictures!

they came out beautifully. I got so many compliments! She of course was our photographer the day of the wedding, and along with her assistant Brian we had so much fun even on a long, hot summer day. We got all the pictures we wanted and then some, and I'm still obsessed with looking through them six months later. The photo styles range from traditional to more photojournalistic, so I felt like I had a wide variety of looks represented. She was helpful throughout the whole process of wedding planning and worked so well with everyone (a picky groom, divorced parents, grandparents, etc). Not a moment was missed! She's top-notch - you won't regret choosing Christine!

great at giving direction to make us look comfortable and natural. The pictures turned out amazing and I couldn't have asked for better photos. Christine got all the shots we wanted and then some that we never would've thought to capture...and most of the time we barely even knew that she was there. We wanted our photos for thank you cards and Christine was great at getting us our photos in time and she always responded to our emails and calls almost immediately. We're expecting a baby in several months and we've already contacted Christine to do photograph our baby!

ting out and were so impressed with the finished product. Not only did we feel incredibly comfortable working with her and taking direction from her, but her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and the turn around time on the photos was incredible. We had a ton of fun during our session, felt very relaxed and comfortable, and were willing to step out of the box and try something new and the pictures came out amazing. We knew for certain that she would also capture our big day for us and I can not boast enough about how beautiful our wedding pictures came out. Her style of photojournalism along with traditional portraits captured the perfect balance of our wedding, allowing us to have incredible one of a kind photos that bring us back to that day in addition to the elegant traditional portraits. We recommend her to all of our friends for their family photos, wedding and engagement sessions, and we will be using her for newborn photography when our little bean graces us with his presence in the next two weeks.

e were a match. Christine's forthrightness allowed us to really trust her. Christine suggested that we do an engagement session to increase our comfort in front of the camera, and it really worked. By the day of our wedding, we were very comfortable with Christine and our picture taking style. Plus, we got some great shots to use at the shower and the wedding itself. We also appreciated how easily Christine and her assistant blended into the event. They were everywhere, but never intrusive. Similarly, Christine's flexibility with locations and shots to take -- and willingness to listen to my lovely and wonderful but sometimes overbearing family -- made the whole day effortless. Since the day, we have gotten several requests from wedding guests for Christine's contact information and at least one guest has hired her for another event -- she was that engaging. We look forward to working with her in the future.
