CRYSTAL CREATIVE STUDIOS

the clear umbrellas, outside in the mystical Celtic mist.) So we had to have the wedding inside. It could have been . . . . . . less than what we hoped for . . . but it was not, because ----- Crystal and Ben took my daughter and her husband outside and used the rain and the mist to make an enchanting fairyland tableau in their pictures. The lights playing on the mists behind the couple . . .the newly-weds among the wet, shimmering foliage in the spring gardens . . . the reflections of the bride in the pools of water or the rain-slick walkways at eventide . . . are not only intriguing, but have a lot of emotional impact and tie in with the Celtic and mystical theme of the wedding. Crystal and Ben actually used the unfortunate wet weather to make poignant, lush and beautiful compositions. Their inside pictures of the actual wedding are also very good on their own, with sensitivity and care (and are enough on their own merits to recommend these photographers) but I was impressed with the way that these two artists actually incorporated rainy weather, and the effects produced by it, into the making of unique and charming photographs. We were very satisfied. Such expertise, such maneuverability, seems to be rare. Many of the inside photos they took were of such intimacy and spontaneity, that I thought, "Where were they when they took this picture? I did not even seen them." I am James Eubanks, the father of the bride, so this is my perspective.

he perfect day. She is creative and fun and her pictures are gorgeous! It can be challenging to find a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and we are so glad we went with her! We would definitely recommend her.

have gotten back from our sneak peak are breathtaking. I am a picky bride and she delivered all the way!

am bummed about is that I did not get any bridal portraits. This however is NOT their fault at all as my make-up artist arrived 45 min late. It was a nightmare but Crystal and Ben carried on like champs through the blistering Memphis heat. Ben, especially is someone I’ll never forget as his subtle but perfectly timed humor kept Josh and I laughing and relaxed while taking pictures. My husband and I are not photogenic people and honestly we are an awkward couple when it comes to taking photos, but they made both the engagement and wedding session fun! We had a blast and felt at ease! They are a dream team to say the least! I’m happy I picked them and I hope we get to have a photo shoot with them again soon!
