Rising Ashes Designs, LLC

There are not enough good things I could say about this team. For starters, I have had the pleasure of working with Christina and Matthew prior to our wedding for our engagement session. The two of them made us feel so comfortable, and they were such kind, caring people. For our wedding, we had Matthew working with us for our videography. He was AMAZING! He personally sent a text message the morning of asking if we needed anything. He spent the entire day asking if we needed anything, making sure we were ok, keeping us laughing, and filming all of the moments we will love looking back on. He has such a positive energy. As the bride, I spent a large majority of the day with Nicole as our photographer. Nicole was so sweet and so thoughtful! She saved me from multiple crying sessions, constantly reassuring me everything was ok. She even helped button my dress, put my shoes on, and put my earrings in. She definitely exceeded the expectations! I am so thankful to have had her there. The second photographer we had for the guys was amazing as well!!! She kept everyone engaged and made it such a positive experience. The entire team completely CRUSHED IT and went SO above and beyond for us. We are so incredibly thankful we were able to spend our day with such an amazing, supportive, and kind group of people. Trust me when I say, you WILL NOT regret booking any event, photo shoot, etc. with this team!

I could not recommend Rising Ashes Designs and Photography enough. Christina went so above and beyond what was required of any photography team. She genuinely cares that you get the wedding of your dreams and will do everything she can to make that happen. Not to mention, she’s an incredibly talented photographer. Choosing RAD was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Christina and Matt and Nicole - thank you so much !! The friendliness of all of them made it so much easier for them to mesh with us on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on them the following days after our wedding. They made everything so easy and fluid. We had a list of pictures that we wanted and Christina took care of it so quickly and easily at the church with the whole family. I cannot speak highly enough or recommend them enough to anyone. The morning after our wedding, they had posted some of our pictures & they are beautiful !! We cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures and use them in the future !!

Easily the best wedding vendor we met in our 2 years of wedding planning. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina, Matt, and their team at Rising Ashes Designs & Photography. They aren’t just photographers and visionaries; They’re a family of amazing people that we are so thankful we got to work with. Booking with them would be the best wedding planning decision you could make. We bought the platinum princess package (wedding day photo & video, engagement, boudoir, photobooth) during one of their sales. You can’t beat their prices for the quality of services they provide! The price is what drew us to them, but once we met with Christina, we knew we wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. She made every step of our wedding planning, photo journey, and wedding day so effortless and fun for us! She kept our wedding day on track & solved every problem that arose for us, including dress & make up issues. Bless her and her tool belt of wedding day essentials lol. Their photographers also know how to get all of the coolest shots! Their creative eyes helped us get so many amazing photos. Christina also has great knowledge & advice on anything to do with weddings! We took her input into the highest consideration when we picked out our vendors. With her help, we were able to throw what SO MANY of our guests called “the best wedding ever”! Their photo booth was a total hit with everyone. The keepsake album they made for us from the extra photo strips is something we’ll look back on and cherish forever! I could go on forever about how incredible our experience with everyone at Rising Ashes Designs has been, but hopefully this is enough to help you make an informed decision to go ahead and book with them! I know that they’ll certainly be our family photographer for anything we ever need shot in the future.

Stop your photography search right now!! These guys are the absolute greatest! Christina was a “take charge” kind of person, and on the day of your wedding, that’s exactly what I needed. At this point, I was exhausted from making decisions and Christina told us the poses and places to stand for pictures. The team offers a wide spread of services, such as boudoir sessions, engagement sessions and even came to my bridal shower to take photos! I snagged RAD at the bridal show and I think it was fate I met her and her team. She and her team are experienced and the quality of work is super truly amazing! Hands down 6 out of 5 stars!

If you are in need of a wedding photographer, look no further! Matthew and Erik with Rising Ashes made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day. They were at the venue early to get all the photos of the girl’s dresses and photos of us girls getting ready. Then once the men arrived, they captured all of their photos before the ceremony. I was not worried one bit because I knew we had the same vision and Matthew made sure to capture all of the photos I had in mind. Matthew and Erik were incredible to work with and I highly recommend them for all your photography needs. I know I will be going back for any future photo shoots I need!

My daughter and her fiance got engaged at a Cleveland Indians game, so what better place to do engagement pictures is Progressive Field?!? They were beautiful!! Christina capture their love for each other and baseball. I first met Christina and her husband at the hair salon the morning of my daughter's wedding. We had suprises for our daughter that day and they helped capture everything for memories. They are amazing; prepared for everything!!! We had so many compliments on them that night, I can't wait to see the pictures!! Need a photographer? I would look no further!! 💜

Christina and her husband were a true gift the day of my wedding. They were organized and prepared for anything! truly anything! Pictures were smooth and so quick! Hair was kept in place, lashes reattached, tears cleaned up. All thanks to them! they are more than just photographers they were vital assets to my day and I am so lucky to of had them!

We had so much fun with Christina and Melissa! They were fun, flexible, and kept us prompt so we could get to every spot we wanted. I couldn’t be happier!!!

I will always recommend this company to my friends and family from now. I got married 10.13.18, and used them with my engagement session, wedding photography, videography, and photo booth! Everything turned out perfect(which is what you want since you'll be looking back at these for the rest of your life) Christina and her team were basically my wedding planner lol. They go above and beyond for you. They had items I forgot, kept my bridal party in order, and helped organized the time line, to mention a few.

Great!!!! photos were awesome!!! My wife and I had issues with other vendors and Christina went above and beyond her duties to assist us

The absolute best wedding Photogragher EVER!!!! Reasonably priced and the quality was amazing! Christina made my day even more special and helped so much that my friends and family has gone onto booking her for more events!!!highly recommend!!!!!!

Photobooth review only: I found this vendor through the wedding resale facebook group. My hubby and I have been to MANY weddings, and have SO many of those photobooth strips. In the facebook group, I stated I was looking for two things in a photobooth: 1. open air photobooth 2. 4x6 photo prints only. Guests could be goofy or take a nicer picture if they wanted as a wedding favor. Their owner contacted me and said she can provide both of these. At the time of booking, she said her husband would be the photobooth tech. I was thrilled! A few days before my wedding, I filled out the pre-event survey (emphasizing our contract stating the 4x6 print request). I received an email saying the name of our technician, who was different than her husband. No biggie, plans change. At our reception, my hubby and I went to use our photobooth, and realized none of the photos were being printed in 4x6 copies and many of the photos were extremely overexposed/too bright to tell what was going on. When I let the technician know about the 4x6 prints in our contract, the tech was unaware and did not know how to print these in 4x6 format. She attempted to call the store owner, who was unable to reach as she was onsite at a wedding doing photography. In the end, the owner did end up printing copies of the photos in 4x6 and delivering these to us after our wedding, but we were disappointed these were not available to our guests on our wedding day per our contract. She did photoshop some to make they look a little less overexposed. Looking back, I don't think I would have even had a photobooth if I would have known only strips were available for my guests.
