Straughan photography did an amazing job! Got married Oct 12 2024 in San Antonio. Chrystina was wonderful to work with - everything went very smoothly and the photos were absolutely incredible. She was so efficient and able to knock everything we wanted out before the cocktail hour so we were able to maximize family time! I am so grateful for the amazing memories she was able to document throughout the entire day. 10/10 experience - highly recommended!

Highly recommend Chrystina! Our engagement and wedding pictures turned out fabulous. We have received so many compliments. She did an amazing job wrangling our two dogs and getting them to pose. I would also like to commend her for making both my husband and I super comfortable during pictures. We will continue to use her in the future for portraits! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Straughan photography created beautiful memories for me, my husband, and our family. This was a destination wedding, and I was not good at specifics. I just told her to "do a good job." She did!! She took control of the situation when it was her time, calmly directed us, and herded cats easily! I will definitely travel to use her again for family photos in the future.

Chrystina was an absolute gem from start to finish! Despite us being behind on our getting ready timeline, she never rushed us or made us worry. Instead, she calmly rolled with the punches and ensured everything fell into place seamlessly. Her fun, pleasant demeanor and professionalism were truly reassuring on our wedding day.
Chrystina's talent for visualizing shots and seeing opportunities for creative photos is nothing short of spectacular. She worked with lightning speed, capturing moments we didn't even realize were happening and suggesting shots that turned out to be some of our favorites. Her eye for detail and innovative approach resulted in unique and stunning photos that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our day.
In addition, we were amazed by her speedy turnaround times. We received sneak peeks the very next day, which were breathtaking and had us reliving every moment. Within a week, she delivered the entire gallery of photos, each one more stunning than the last.
Chrystina's talent is undeniable, and her ability to capture the essence of our day so beautifully is something we'll cherish forever. Thank you, Chrystina, for making our wedding memories so incredibly special!

Chrystina and her staff were awesome and captured our wedding perfectly! There’s not a moment throughout the night that they don’t photograph. When they arrived on site, they started right away with the detail and getting ready photos. Chrystina is great at directing people and making sure you get all the ideal poses. My husband and I have no idea what poses to do normally, but no worries, because Chrystina directs you the whole way through even with family and bridal party pics. She really did make us feel comfortable throughout the night and make sure we got all the pics we wanted.

Chrystina is amazing! I absolutely loved having her as my wedding photographer. I didn't even have to think about how to pose, she gave amazing directions and made my photos turn out beautiful. She was also great at reminding me to breathe and look relaxed. She was a joy and a comfort on such a busy wedding day. The communication before, during, and after the wedding was wonderful. I never had to worry about anything with her. I also had my bridal photos with her and she made me feel gorgeous. If you want a true professional, that will do a stellar job and put your mind at ease, don't think twice, book her!

Chrystina was a blast to work with on our special day. She is a true master behind the camera. She captured absolutely every detail I wanted and even more! Very professional and very communicative. She arrived on time and started working immediately. She made us all feel very comfortable while posing for pictures. She made the process very easy from the beginning. She created a timeline for us to follow which allowed us to stick to our schedule and still have time to mingle with our guests. We had a blast at our wedding and wished it would have never ended. With Christina’s work and the photos captured we can now re live our always and forever moments anytime we want!

I didn't realize how important a good photographer was to your wedding day until these photos came in a couple weeks after the wedding with Straughan Photography. Can honestly say its worth every penny, and I'm a notorious cheapskate who tries to cheap out on everything. She really knows what she's doing, how to take photos, how to do setup, and how to get the best photos of you on your special day. She even uploads the RAW image files for you so you can take them and get them blown up without losing quality. Her website is amazing as well and very easy to navigate, couldn't recommend this lady enough for any photography needs!

Chrystina went above and beyond and absolutely exceeded my expectations. I emailed her last minute for a surprise engagement shoot at the River Walk and she was more than happy to make that happen for us. She was easy to work with, knew all the right poses and spots, and took some incredible pictures. She made that night an unforgettable one and for that I will forever be thankful!

We chose Chrystina for our October wedding and all I can say is WOW! I spent a lot of time researching photographers while wedding planning and I am so glad we went with Chrystina. She was so professional, funny, attentive to detail, and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session, wedding, and my bridal portraits. Our wedding day was such a busy and very happy blur but thanks to her, we have beautiful pictures to remember it by forever. My husband and I usually are not great at taking pictures and she captured our day better than we could have ever imagined! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, Chrystina is your girl!

Chrystina was PHENOMENAL! There is literally nothing she can’t do. She was the calm in the storm and everything I didn’t know I need on my wedding day. She didn’t skip a beat…EVER! I did my bridal portraits with her in the middle of July. We were in a drought and with our luck it started raining, she was so calm, never even looked worried and my bridal portraits came out STUNNING! At our wedding she and her assistant caught every raw moment. Her pictures are so clear and truly make you relive the moment. I felt all the feels looking at my pictures from our wedding. She does an amazing job at capturing authentic shots and I am beyond grateful to have found her and had her as a photographer. HIGHLY recommend! She’s everything you didn’t no you needed at your wedding!

My granddaughter and daughter chose Christina as the photographer for my granddaughter ‘s wedding on June 25,2022 in San Antonio.. she is amazing and as a grandmother I am very particular. Christina was so professional and knew her business so much so that most of the time she and her assistant were hardly visible while taking the photos! But they were busy going about their business! The photos are absolutely stunning and I cried looking at each one. Straughan Photography is the best and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing bridal portraits and wedding day portraits! Thank you Christina, well worth the money!!

I love Chrystina!! Wonderful photographer!! We are not from San Antonio so we planned the wedding from out of town. So glad I chose Straughan Photography for my daughter's wedding! She was on time for Bridal portraits on location and for the wedding for my daughter. Very on point with the schedule and organized with all pictures that we wanted to take during the wedding day. Her personality was very pleasant and she made us feel at ease. My daughter loved how she was very personable and professional with her during bridal portrait photoshoot and with wedding day photos. She may seem a little pricey if you are on a budget but she will work with you to fit your needs. Well worth the money! Photos are beautiful and lighting looks great. Took a good variety of shots in the church and at reception. The wedding was in the heat of day and we appreciate the time she took pictures with everyone outside with no rush or complaints. We are so happy we chose Chrystina!! Thank you so much we would recommend you 100 percent to anyone and if we ever have another event in San Antonio we would use her again!! 😊 Thank you Chrystina! Great job!

For all the brides who are Type A, have blended families, value flexibility and excellent communication, and / or simply want peace of mind that your wedding photos will be perfect, hire Chrystina. On my wedding day, she was the MVP I didn’t know I needed. I researched 20+ photographers and had 3 “finalist” virtual meetings to decide who to select. She blew our other 2 finalists out of the competition real fast. She immediately demonstrated professionalism, organization, kindness, humor, and she is assertive in a way that I felt I could trust her to get the 65+ relatives in our immediate family + wedding party photographed. Upon request, she was able to swap a bridal session for a rehearsal dinner shoot, and it was perfect. I was married at a family residence, and she captured angles like no one in my family has ever noticed. The unintentional, natural tendency of my husband and I in photos is to look and feel soooo awkward. I’ve never had a better photographer to explain exactly how to pose, rest my hand, tilt my head, etc. to look so effortless and beautiful until I met Chrystina! Seriously, if you’ve read this far, just go ahead and book her now!

Chrystina seriously did an amazing job, I've seen the final outcomes of other photographers from my siblings weddings and I have to say, she has blown it out of the park! She was able to get so many various age groups to properly smile and pose, the whole process was seamless. Not only was she amazing at taking photographs but she was such a great help with aiding the flow of the ceremony and helping my bride with her dress and shoes when needed. There was a plethora of different angles and prospectives captured during the wedding day. We'd absolutely recommend her for any major event, she WILL capture the magical moments!

**INCREDIBLE. FASCINATING. DILIGENT. PERSEVERING** Not only is Chrystina an incredible and fascinating person to work with, but the diligent and persevering ethic that she puts into her craft does not go unnoticed. Due to the Pandemic, Our Wedding became an event that took two years to properly plan and ensure it was 'the right time' to bring our family, friends and loved ones together. To say the least, selecting the perfect photographer to capture every memory of our day was essential! My want in a photographer and their work was simple... bright, clean and crisp. And although you will see this in many pieces of work produced by photographers, capturing the perfect pose with the perfect light, in addition adding a multitude of various personalities and walks of life (humans and animals), there is much more than an 'easy shot or perfect light' that needs to be considered. Chrystina embodied all of it! It was a no brainer choice and I am beyond pleased with all of the moments captured and work she has produced from my Special Day. Straughan Photography is the perfect choice for any event and will be my #1 choice for all of my future events!

Chrystina was amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! The photos turned out great, and we got them a week after the wedding (also got a few the day after the wedding through social media)!! She’s quick to respond, super friendly, funny, easy to work with, and makes you and everybody else at ease taking photos. She goes above and beyond for sure. We were chasing sunset for photos between the ceremony and reception, and she did not waste any minute of it to make sure we get shots at 3 different spots that would really capture the gorgeous sunset with the background, and the results were incredible. She definitely exceeded expectations. She even helped with other things.. getting my dress and veil on, doing the bustle after the ceremony, and other wedding details outside of photography. My sister, who was also my MOH, and I have talked about which vendors we loved the most, and we agree that it’s Chrystina, and my day-of-coordinator Amanda. I think both of them really helped make our wedding fun, memorable and everything we wanted it to be. Everything goes by so quickly that day that you miss so much stuff happening around you and even with you, and she captured so many of them, which is so priceless. Would highly recommend her to anybody. Thank you so much, Chrystina.

I cannot recommend Chrystina enough! I mean she did not skip a beat! We had a small, intimate wedding of maybe 40 people and she caught EVERY SINGLE MOMENT! I swear at one point I thought she cloned herself because she’s that good lol!!! She was more than just a photographer for us, I felt like she was truly a guest in our wedding. Her personality was so awesome! Never a dull moment. She made sure that she captured all the right angles, she fixed my hair and dress when needed, she even helped my bridesmaids with my bustle! Seriously the BEST!!! 10000/10 highly recommend!! Thanks for all the amazing photos.

I was very happy with Cynthia from my our very first phone call to the wedding day and the delivery of our photos. She was able to answer some very specific questions regarding image quality and showed a high degree of knowledge on the technical components of photography. When she arrived she interacted well with everyone. Not being very photogenic I appreciated that she told everyone where to stand and how to pose. She made us look our best! I don't know if this is typical, but we got our pictures back in less than a week. So great marks on professionalism, punctuality, composition, and technical quality. Hiring a wedding photographer isn't cheap, and you want to get to get it right for your big day. I am very happy with my choice and recommend Cynthia Straughan highly.

Seriously, just stop wasting your time looking through photographers and call Chrystina. She was--hands-down--the BEST vendor we had for our wedding (and we had a few incredible vendors). Choosing a photographer is a big decision for your wedding for three main reasons: (1) your photographer will be following you closer than your own shadow throughout the event; (2) your wedding photos will be around forever; and (3) wedding photographers are usually one of the most expensive vendors involved in your wedding. For these reasons, Christina is the woman you want by your side on the day of your wedding. First, she has the perfect personality to calm you down, take charge, direct guests, and make you feel beautiful. I can't recommend her enough. I loved her. My groom loved her. My family, wedding party, and guests loved her. Second, the quality of her photo are OUTSTANDING. We hired her for a relatively short wedding and received almost 1,000 photos. I don't know how she does it but she is everywhere, all at once, and snapping the most incredible mix of both posed and candid shots. Lastly, her services are very reasonably priced and 100% worth every penny. I'd absolutely hire her again and recommend her to any bride or person who is trying to capture life's most important moments.

The BEST without a doubt!
Because of Chrystina, we have beautiful pictures of our engagement session and wedding. We are so grateful for the service and assistance she and Marlene provided us with at our wedding. They arrived on time and were so helpful with even the small things.
They were very friendly, caring and made the day go by much more smoothly. All they had to do was take photos. Instead, they helped us create the best memories in our lives. Chrystina is the best photographer, she went above and beyond! We have three boys and she made sure to accommodate them and my picky husband. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get married or any occasion. Thanks again for this AMAZING experience but more than anything thanks for making my husband do the things he would NEVER do.

I could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding! Chrystina was absolutely incredible. She drove out to College Station to take our engagement photos on the A&M campus and I was so pleased with how personal AND professional she was. We've never taken professional photographs before so we were a bit nervous at first. She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun! On our wedding day, she met and exceeded all of our expectations. Not only was our experience with her a great one, but her pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY. She captured my vision and for that I will forever be grateful.

Not only is she extremely talented, but her personality and energy made it easy to snap photos in a hurry (we had a big family!). I HIGHLY recommend her, especially if you're looking for crisp timeless photos of your special day. I would honestly give her 10 stars if I could.

I’m pretty sure I worked with a good 40ish vendors start to finish with our wedding- Chrystina was my favorite! I knew from the minute we met I’d hire her-she is so genuine and fun to be around-and yet still so professional. The day of the party she was every bit of what I could’ve hoped for -she was there for all the great moments. And then I get her pictures back, and I am blown away by how great they are! Chrystina is great at what she does, and I’m a fan forever!

It was really fun to have her do our engagement photos. She was on time, got started right away, and took us to all the locations I had mentioned I wanted to go. She is a true professional and I adore the photos. I highly recommend her.

I was referred to Chrystina Straughan Photography by my wedding planner, Nicollete Orozco (Chic Concepts). Straughan Photography was on Nicollete's list of vendors she had worked with in the past. My daughter (bride) lives 1,600 miles away, so she was relying on me to locate a great photographer. So, when I first met Chrystina, I knew she was the one. Not only was she professional and knowledgeable, but she was also just a very kind person. I looked through many of her past wedding photos as well as past reviews...which were all outstanding! We are just on the edge of our seats to see the photos she took this past weekend! (The sneak peaks are beautiful). A shout out to her assistant, Cheyenne. While Chrystina was taking photos of the bride and groom outside on the Riverwalk, Cheyenne had everything under control with guests and family that remained inside for Cocktail Hour. Straughan Photography is highly recommended...you should give her a call...you won't be disappointed!

I would give Chrystina and her team 10
Stars if I could! Seriously there are not enough words to say how amazing they were! They made everything so easy from wedding party photos to photos on the river walk . She knows what she’s doing and the few sneak peak photos I saw were EVERYTHING I could have wanted. Highly highly recommend her!!!! :):)

Chrystina absolutely made our night! Not only was she super helpful and structured, every meeting she was punctual, professional, and warm. Even thought there were a few hiccups along our night (because when aren't there), she helped us stay on track per her schedule. She caught some truly cherished moments between my husband and me, as well as candid shots of our family and friends. She really helped my husband and me open up with her (v. camera shy) and get photos that feel unique to us. I would and will absolutely be recommending Straughan Photography to anyone and everyone I can in the future. Thanks again!

OMG! What can I say about Chrystina... she is absolutely amazing! She was with us for our (surprise) engagement pictures and traveled to shoot our wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations! Her work is great, that care she puts in to all her pictures and the details that she thinks of are stellar. We could not be happier with the pictures we received! If you don't book her for your wedding your crazy! We're recommending her to everyone we meet!!!

Chrystina and her staff were absolutely amazing! Her work is definitely magical, and she has the friendliest personality. She is personable, professional, and knows exactly what needs to be done! When she says she will never leave your side, she means it. It seemed that there wasn’t a camera in sight during our ceremony and reception, but she magically captured every special moment. As quick as our wedding day flew by, I am greatful to have gorgeous photos to cherish and share with our family for years to come. Thank you, for going above and beyond in all that you do!

Straughan Photography was amazing through the whole process. I thought my bridal were amazing, but our wedding picture were unbelievable. She was the best decision we made. I would even second guess this decision, she is a yes in every category, not to mention the turn around time in getting us the picture was amazing.

Straughan Photography goes above and beyond the call of duty. Chrystina Straughan, Cheyenne, and Priscilla have done a phenomenal job not only at the quality of work in each photo but bringing a level of customer service that will blow you away! This photography company will go above and beyond what it means to be a photography company from acting like a monkey for my 2-year-old niece to smile to being in tune with every moment and without hesitation, every time there was an opportunity to make this wedding better, they stepped up and did what needed to be done even though it wasn’t part of why they were hired. They take pride in their work and it shows. Every emotion, every surprised face, every live action shot on dance floor and even with the ballet folklorico, they captured it all and executed flawlessly. We highly recommend Straughan Photography! We can see why there were awarded The Knot Best of weddings 2012-2018, The Knot Best of Wedding Hall of Fame, Wedding Wire Rated “Bride’s Choice” 2010-2018, just to name a few. They are a very reasonably priced company and have set a standard in the industry.
