Critsey Rowe Photography

with every step of the way. We are in love with every single photo she has taken for us from our engagement session, my bridal session, Mom, close your eyes! My boudoir session and of course our wedding photos. She made us feel so at ease and captured us so well. I was really nervous in the beginning because photos are very important to me and Critsey took all those nerves away with her professionalism. All we can say is -give her your trust and she will blow you away!

d our expectations! They have the experience and talent to deliver phenomenal photos and make your special day run smoothly! Our family & guests were so impressed with their professionalism and skill. They captured our day so perfectly and gave us memories that will last a lifetime!

ed and incredibly talented. Her kindness is also one of her best qualities, and she makes her clients feel so comfortable. All of my clients that have used Critsey have been so incredibly happy with their photos and overall experience. You won't regret hiring Critsey to capture your wedding memories! -Jackie Fogartie Events

an you had imaged! We wanted our dog to be in our engagement pictures and in our wedding. Capturing the one second moment when my dog was actually behaving is challenging, but not for her! She was able to get the best pictures at the most perfect moments. And she makes everything fun! I would highly recommend Critsey to anyone! She is very professionally, extremely talented, flexible, and responsive!

ecommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer!

hots in an editorial / documentary way. We didn’t want just your basic formal pictures. Critsey was able to do this in the most incredible way. We are beyond delighted with our pictures. Critsey captures every moment... moments we may have missed but she captured for us to cherish for many years to come. Book Critsey, she is absolutely incredible.

out her and her husband. They were not only professional, they really cared about how our special day went. Critsey made herself available at all times, even offering to stop on her way to the venue in case we forgot anything. Who does that?? Critsey, THANK YOU for helping make our day perfect. I cannot recommend her enough!

phy. Critsey’s photographs are truly amazing. They are rich, vibrant and captured the emotions and sentiments of the day perfectly. Critsey’s attention to detail was exceptional and her photographs tell a story and make you feel like you are experiencing the day from the very beginning. Her artistry is simple masterful. She has an exceptional eye for style, placement, color and lighting. She knew exactly what placement to use to get the most desired photograph. The photographs look like they are straight out of a magazine. Not only were the photographs special, but Critsey made the entire process easy. From our first phone call, we felt relaxed and comfortable with her. She was open to all ideas and suggestions and was so complimentary and excited for us and the wedding. She was filled with ideas and had creative ways to photograph our three dogs who were groomsmen in the wedding. Our dogs came out looking like adorable dolls and to say the images are cute cannot even begin to do them justice. Critsey was organized and meticulous and made sure every shot was captured in a timely manner so as not to take away from the wedding. Critsey herself was exceptional to work with and kind beyond measure. It is rare to find someone so talented, as well as an exceptional person filled with goodness, kindness and love. She helped me get dressed and did things way outside the scope of a photograph, all the while gracious and happy to be part of the event. She moved me to tears when she was helping show my family how to properly bustle my dress. Critsey’s attention to detail is truly incredible, down to the thank you note she sent following the wedding. It was such a thoughtful gesture yet meant so much to us. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Critsey Rowe Photography. Choosing her, who was the first vendor we hired, was the greatest decision. There is no doubt why she is listed as one of the top photographers in Charlotte and we would argue that she is the very best in all aspects. We are thrilled with our experience with Critsey and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her photographs are magical and capture the essence and beauty in all ways.

to describe Critsey - talented, creative, professional, responsive, fun, calming, dedicated, experienced, sweet, and the list goes on and on. At the end of your wedding, all you have left are your memories and your photos. I am so glad Critsey is the one who captured our photos. She knows all of the right timing, angles, lighting, backgrounds, etc. to give you photos that truly bring you back to that moment when you look at the picture. I put my trust in Critsey and she exceeded all expectations. Critsey will be the first person I call when it’s time for newborn photos!!

rsonality, and her professionalism make her such a joy to work with. Whenever we see we're working with Critsey, we know it's going to be an incredible event, with amazing photos and a great collaborative experience all around.

lessly to capture every aspect of my daughter's wedding day! Critsey helped us with the timeline for the day and kept us on schedule all while capturing truly amazing photos that will be everlasting treasures for our family. Our guests were NOT standing around waiting at the reception wondering where the wedding party was! Most importantly, Critsey and my daughter formed a bond leading up to the wedding that made Critsey and Thomas feel more like family members instead of photographers we had hired for the wedding. We are truly thankful they were part of our incredible day and would highly recommend working with them!

sic, timeless photos and Critsey delivered. We had an evening wedding inside a church and Critsey (and her husband, Thomas) took the most gorgeous photos. Critsey is incredibly thoughtful and worked with me in the weeks leading up to the wedding to make sure she knew who needed to be in the formal portraits following the ceremony. This really sped things along and allowed my husband and I to enjoy our reception and not be stuck for hours taking photos. We did not hire a videographer and I do not regret that decision since Critsey captured every moment of our special day beautifully. Critsey also took my bridal portraits which turned out great.

is so personable and kind. She gets to know her clients and works well with the entire family! Our pictures told the story of our special day. I was nervous before the wedding because I didn’t get a videographer but after getting our photos back I was so content with our decision. Critsey captured everything so beautifully we felt the love and happiness all over again looking through our photos! I would recommend her to everyone I know!

tient and a true gem to work with. We would recommend her to anyone who wants the best in a wedding photographer.

use it was pretty clear from her work, her attention to detail and commitment to provide high quality photography especially given the understanding that these pictures document the most important and special day of our lives. When my wife got her bridal portraits, I knew we made the right choice when I saw tears stream down her face not just because it was reminding her that she is getting married, but also because I know how much quality and service mean to my wife; the portraits were gorgeous. On the wedding day, it was amazing to see Critsey and Thomas move with such grace and confidence which gave us peace of mind that our photography would be world class. During the pictures after the ceremony, some of the shots they took were clever and well-thought out but also they had a sense of humor and were genuine people which also meant a lot to us. When received the final product, words do not convey the world class effort and quality were captured within our pictures. They are simply breath-taking! We made the decision before the wedding not to do a video that made me a bit nervous. However, Critsey's pictures were so phenomenal, that a video of the wedding is not even needed given the rigor, care and commitment she, Thomas and their assistant put in to capturing the most amazing moments of our lives. I would recommend them to anyone for any event! Thank you Critsey and Thomas for making our wedding day that much more special!

decided to pose in lingerie, since I was going to be gifting the album to my husband for our anniversary. Critsey guided me through all the poses, and helped me pick which outfits would look best. I've never felt so confident in front of a camera, and she helped me feel so beautiful. When I got the pictures back, I could not believe that it was me! I loved every photo, imperfections and all, even with them not being edited yet. After I picked the photos for my album, I fell even more in love with myself. I have so much more appreciation and love for my body. When my husband got the photos he was so amazed, he said it was the best gift I had ever given him and that he would cherish it forever. I was a little nervous about giving photos of myself as a gift, and thought it might seem self-absorbed, but he loved it! Another collection of special moments from Critsey, we'll love on forever!

erience! I would hire her again and recommend her to everyone!

nt session and learn about us as a couple, emailing/calling us every step of the way and providing a day of timeline for the wedding day which made us feel at ease. Her and Thomas took gorgeous photos and truly captured all the love and special moments that surrounded our day! We absolutely LOVE our photos and cannot wait to have them to cherish, always! Critsey went above and beyond to make our day special and we would recommend her to anyone. We truly appreciate all that she did for us!

sier which is a blessing when planning a wedding! She had so many original ideas for photos that were so stunning yet she also stuck to the beautiful classics with which you can never go wrong. Not to mention her black and white photography; which ere, easily, our favorite pictures. The most incredible things were the pictures she sent us in which we didn't even know she was there! I was floored when I saw an over the shoulder pictures of my mom talking to me with tears in her eyes. I didn't think that moment was captured and I could not be more ecstatic! If I could recommend no one else, that would be fine by me. Thank you, Critsey!

fortable and is truly one of a kind! I will definitely be using her for more shoots and I highly recommend her to everyone!!

to photograph us for our first maternity shoot! I will cherish her pictures forever and am so glad I count her as a friend. You cannot go wrong with her as your photographer- best in the business!!!

n every day occurrence. I adore my family I really do but coming from a big family can be a bit dramatic at times. I won't bore you will all the hot mess but just know Critsey has your back! I admit I ugly cried when I received my absolutely stunning photos. I could not believe how beautiful we looked. I was so nervous it was going to look like the train wreck it was but Critsey took pictures at all the right moments. If you want a photographer/magician/planner/BFF/badass chic, hire Critsey Rowe. You will be so happy you did!

do! For my wedding I wanted a photographer who captured all the special moments of the event without being super pose-y or cutesy, and that's exactly what Critsey did for us. I felt completely comfortable in her hands, and she did a wonderful job picking out places for us to have our photos taken, including my bridal portraits, which took place in a beautiful neighborhood with gorgeous spring flowers. I would say that her best quality as a photographer is quickly sizing up the couple and then taking photos that make them look good and capture the spirit of the wedding. Thanks, Critsey and Thomas! We just love our pictures.

tos would work out and Critsey walked me through it. On the wedding day everything went smoothly and Critsey got all the pictures we wished for without any trouble at all. My family is not the easiest to corral so I must say I was really impressed. I heard about Critsey from friends before I was even engaged and I started following her on Instagram. I thought I probably couldn’t afford her but I asked for pricing anyway and was pleasantly surprised she is very affordable. She also came highly recommended by several of our vendors and our venue. I should also mention my mom is a wedding planner in Ohio and she was very impressed with Critsey. She loves her so much she is already trying to get her weddings in Ohio. All in all I only have great things to say about my experience with Critsey Rowe Photography. She is truly is one of the BEST!

one. As many people recommended, if you're going to choose an area to make an extra investment in for the wedding, make it in the photography as you'll enjoy the photos for a lifetime. I'm glad we listened!

h Critsey via Skype for our first meeting. Our first in person meeting was during our complimentary engagement photo session which turned out wonderful. Critsey had photographed at this location before and knew all the great spots. She asked us about our families and what photos we would want that were not the standard family photos. Critsey made each photo happen seamlessly. We have not stopped looking at our pictures since we got them. She captured moments that we would have never thought of. Her and Thomas knew all of the best spots at Daniel Stowe as well. She was truly amazing to work with and an absolute treasure in the queen city. We can't thank you enough for capturing our special moments Critsey! You are the #1 photographer in our books.

friend use Critsey for her wedding. I made up my mind Critsey was the best..her photos were absolutely gorgeous!! She was the first vendor we booked!! We love all of our engagement and wedding photos and so do all of our friends and family!! You can’t go wrong with Critsey and Thomas they are outstanding!!

was made so much easier by their laidback and relaxed attitude. We have so many fond memories of that day immortalized in their pictures. Also get the photo booth !! It’s a great addition. Highly recommended:)

in tune with their customers and go above and beyond to make sure the photography on your special day is nothing less than perfect. The price is a little expensive but she is willing to work with you and honestly, it’s worth every penny! We had an NYE wedding and they even stayed late to make sure we got the most amazing exit photos!!! BOOK HER!!! You wont be disappointed!!!

riend. By the time our wedding day arrived, it was like having a dear friend photograph every inch andmemory I would have wanted and more!!! You will NEVER regret having her photograph your wedding- I now want every signficant moment captured by her! She is so incredibly talented that her photos appear more like works of art than pictures. I am forever thankful to her!!!

them. My favorite photo is my groom and I after the ceremony walking down the aisle. We were so excited to be married and it really shows in this picture so I am glad Critsey captured that. There are many more favorites and honestly we love them all. I plan to make an album for all the photos to give to my parents for Christmas. We also liked how Critsey and her other shooter (Thomas) worked as a team to get all of the photos requested. We have a huge family on both sides and were nervous we would miss someone but they got them all to our pleasant surprise. We also liked their laid back approach to taking pictures. We recommend them.

e catching up with an old friend. She made us feel very comfortable in front of her camera and her pictures look like they came from magazines. Which actually that’s where they usually end up. She has been published everywhere. My husband and I are not exactly experienced in front of a camera, so I was nervous I would not look as good as the others couples I saw in the magazines and on her website but Critsey was able to explain which angles and poses are the most flattering. She is also understanding—she listened when I said I didn’t like a certain pose and didn’t dismiss my ideas. Talk to Critsey if you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, creative, and friendly!

knows how to work with lighting and scenery to create the perfect picture. When we were searching for a photographer we talked with Critsey as well as one other company and the difference was so crystal clear why we had to choose Critsey. My husband and I are not the creative type and had a hard time describing what exactly we wanted, or even really knowing exactly what we wanted, but Critsey made it very simple and truly made us picture how smoothly the entire process could go. She was more than just a photographer, she helped create our timeline as well which was very helpful. We 1000% recommend Critsey, she is a truly awesome photographer!

was one of the lucky ones that had my wedding photographed by Critsey. Her work is so good and she makes you feel like a celebrity.

itsey was well prepared from our first meeting and made me feel confident in my choice to book with her company. I was thankful that I found her. Critsey guided me in preparing my wedding photo timeline; she made me think of all the small things that only her experience could know about. And I have to mention, her experience truly shines the day of the wedding. Critsey and Thomas worked around the chaos and unforeseen circumstances and still captured the most beautiful photos of my husband and I and our loved ones. They were so helpful and I am and grateful for all their guidance. I felt Critsey went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly. She is part photographer and part planner. Together Critsey and Thomas made our wedding day perfect and captured all our memories beautifully.

ade all of our wedding photos look magical. She is a very nice person to work with and was very organized throughout the process, and on the day of the wedding she was able to gather all the different groupings of our family and friends so that every guest was included. All the photos were like a dream come true and I could not be happier. We highly recommend Critsey, she captured all of our wedding memories in so many beautiful photos, she is an amazing photographer. This is who you want shooting your wedding for sure!!

people know Critsey, we heard her name everywhere when we asked for referrals and our wedding planners knew her work and were excited to be working with her again. We could not have chosen anyone better. We are very very happy with our wedding and engagement pictures.

e wonderful! She is who I will always use for ANY photos! So choose her!! She's the best!

xperience with her company. She even sent me a little gift when I booked with her. She is very thoughtful and helpful.

y wedding photos are even more amazing them all the photos! I copiously liked on her social. If you are getting married book her A.S.A.P. My sister is getting married next year and she just had to change her date so she could get Critsey Rowe. Definitely contact her before you book everything else because she gets booked up. I heard this several times myself so I called her the same day we got engaged. She was the third person on my call list. haha! Critsey is the sweetest person. She was so helpful through the whole process and was like my planner/photographer on our wedding day. She kept things in order and even had Bobby pins when my hair started to fall. If you are looking for a photographer, don't look any further. She is your woman.

nd easy to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but they don't tell you how fun they are to get! Critsey truly has a way of capturing moments that are unique to the people, day, and event- so her photos always look unique and special. Our first look photos are probably my favorite! The photographers both set that moment up and then captured it- which was amazing. From the engagement shoot to her sending us our final photos, it was a true pleasure to work with her. We were blown away by the quality and beauty of her photos. She captured all the important moments, details, and events of our day. Everyone who sees the photos absolutely adores them.
