Chrissy has been absolutely amazing to work with. She was professional and very organized and knew exactly what she wanted which helped take stress off of the bride and groom on th...
e wedding day. The pictures are much more than I could ever dream of and I’m so thankful to have worked with such a talented photographer.
We could not recommend Chrissy and her team enough! First, she is so kind, easy to talk to, friendly, and was very responsive to emails and any questions we had! Second, we felt so...
comfortable with Chrissy and her team. We have never had professional photographs done like this before, and it was such a relief and a breeze working with Chrissy! Lastly, her work is absolutely phenomenal and we are so in love with all of our photos! I would recommend Chrissy to anyone I know, she is outstanding!
I am so thankful that Chrystin’s information popped up on my Facebook and that she was willing to make the 3 hour drive to Toledo. I vetted a LOT of photographers as it’s the most ...
important vendor of the day. After all, photos and videos are the only tangible things to remember such a special day. Aside from her work being absolutely incredible and her editing and lighting being top notch, our initial conversation sealed the deal. She left me feeling so comfortable and confident. Our coordinator was the epitome of unprofessionalism and had it not been for Chrissy going ABOVE AND BEYOND, I would have lost my mind and the day would have been ruined. Thankfully, Chrissy being an absolute professional, not missing a beat, played the role of photographer AND stepped into the role of coordinator. I mean it when I say that she saved the day, all day! She answered questions from the wedding party and vendors when the coordinator was no where to be found as she had thankfully printed out the timeline. She kept us on track all day! I’m so thankful she showed up 30 mins. early because I would have lost my mind without her assistance and calm energy. My husband HATES getting his picture taken. We even have a running joke that I have a tab going as I owe him $5 per photo. 🤪Both at the engagement shoot and the wedding, she made us both feel so comfortable and he didn’t even complain about all of the pictures. His words at the end of the night-“I know I pressed on wanting to go with a cheaper photographer and I’m so glad you pushed for Chrissy. I was wrong and you were right. She literally saved the day and was worth every penny and more.” Again, this is a man who hates getting his picture taken but still recognized how incredible Chrissy is. If I could, I would give her a million stars. We will absolutely work with her again and she is now our family photographer. I could go on and on about how outstanding she is all around but you’ll have to just head my advice-look no further, THIS is the photographer that you need for your special day.
We are beyond thrilled with the experience we had with Chrissy as our wedding photographer! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she was not only professional but also in...
credibly kind and compassionate. She took the time to understand our vision for the day and offered wonderful suggestions that truly elevated our experience.
Her attention to detail was unmatched—every moment, every little detail, was captured with such care and precision. We could see how much thought and effort she put into ensuring that our photos were not only beautiful but also meaningful. The final images are breathtaking. They perfectly capture the emotions, joy, and love of our special day.
We are so happy with the photos we received.

our day such a breeze.
Chrissy was so helpful in crafting our timeline and helped ensure that everything on our day went the way we wanted. Though we got many fantastic sneak peek pictures in the weeks after our wedding, the final gallery was even better than our expectations! Chrissy perfectly captured every part of our day, with great photos ranging from fun shots to family portraits to getting ready. She made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera and we could not be happier with her work.
Love Chrissy so much that she now does our family photos too. She’s amazing!! She is so kind and will make you feel so comfortable. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

We couldn't have ask for a better experience with Chrissy as our engagement and wedding photographer! From our initial meeting, to booking, to our engagement shoot, and preparing f...
or the wedding, Chrissy was always so responsive to our questions. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera when we've never had profession pictures taken before and really didn't know what we were doing! She is so sweet and thoughtful which was such a bonus on our special day. Once we got our photos, we were absolutely blown away with how beautiful they were! She went above and beyond during our reception to take pictures for a video we wanted to make, and before we knew it, she made the video herself instead! We are so happy we chose Chrissy to capture each and every moment and detail of the best day of our lives, and now we have such beautiful pictures to remember it forever!
I loved having Chrissy photograph our wedding. She got some unique shots, was so kind, and helped us plan our day. We had a very small wedding and it went beautifully. She made som...

We had Chrissy as our wedding photographer last June and let me tell you, she did amazing work! We booked her services 9 months in advance, after meeting her in-person (very impor...
tant). She answered all of our questions, told us about the time-line she likes to work with, showed us her previous work, and explained her different packages. She offered a second photographer and engagement session in the package we chose. For both the engagement session and wedding day she was timely, organized, professional, and clearly knew what lighting was best for photos. Another added bonus is that she typically responds to emails within a few hours, has a beautiful wedding day time-line that has all of her advice for a smooth day, and to top it off she get photos back QUICKLY! All of our photos looked crisp and beautiful, we would definitely recommend Chrissy!
Wonderful to work with. We had so much fun on our wedding day with Chrissy. She is so personable and sweet. We love all our photos. Definitely will hire her again!

It’s truly remarkable how perfect our shots came out for how bad the weather was. A picture is truly worth a thousand words, and the pictures that Chrissy shot of my husband and I beautifully captured the love we shared that day beyond what words could describe. Thank you Chrissy!

s very professional and full of amazing ideas. I did not know the area well enough to know where to take wedding photos, she scoped out some amazing locations and messaged me with some amazing ideas. I was so happy with her initiative and the photos turned out really great! We have experienced some difficulties with dates and had to reschedule and every time she was very flexible and was there for us through it all. She had phone conversations with us, we prepared a timeline together, and the whole process was so easy.

Very professional and would highly recommend!
