    Beautiful images

    Callie is absolutely amazing at her job! Our wedding pictures turned out even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Callie was completely professional and delightful the entire time! Her knowledge and skills as a photographer led to some of the most beautiful images. She guided us into different positions/actions and she really captured the beauty of the surrounding scenery. She had our sneak peek within days and all of our wedding images in about a week!! I cannot recommend Callie enough for wedding photos, family events, etc.

    Amazing and special photos

    Callie helped capture our wedding ceremony and sunset photos. The weather was quite cold and windy so we had to move our ceremony indoors last minute. Callie made sure we were able to get the sun set photos I had dreamed of despite the wind and freeze cold temperatures. Her photos are amazing!!! The lighting and techniques she used gave us so many beautiful photos. The sunset pictures are so beautiful, people have asked if we used a backdrop as it looks perfect. Trust me we were outside freezing ans smiling as we knew Callie would get those amazing photos no matterm what. Even those wedding party members who are not the most photogenic look amazing in our wedding photos. Thank you Callie & David so much for making our day so special! Our family loved how you captured our special moments in our wedding.

    Callie was great to work with and provided world class service during our wedding photo shoot. The quality of the photos we received are top-notch, and the wedding photo gallery was delivered sooner than expected. We will enjoy our beautiful photos for many years to come. Thanks, Callie! - The Normans

    Callie was absolutely amazing! She was very patient with us, our family, and our wedding party. She worked very hard to make sure our pictures looked like we were the only ones on the beach. The pictures look fantastic. I would highly recommend her for wedding pictures. I cannot say enough good things about our pictures. They are amazing.

    Callie is amazing! Planning a wedding 700 miles away was apprehensive enough, and Callie's sweet professional personality was so comforting and her work is flawless! You will not be disappointed.

    Callie was incredible! We had a one hour session with her for our wedding ceremony and photography afterwards. She was amazing! So easy to work with. Everyone loved her. She did a great job of putting everyone at ease and keeping it fun. I was blown away by the quality and number of photos we received. I would DEFINITELY recommend her!

    I cannot say enough about Callie! She was absolutely amazing! She was super affordable for a 4 hr time slot, and so sweet and nice to work with! She jumped up on benches and layed on dirty floors to get great shots for us. She made all of our 8 children at our wedding very comfortable. Most importantly she got the most amazing shots. I honestly do not know why she doesnt charge more!

    Here is the link to some of our wedding photos for all to see her great work!

    Callie did my wedding photos. They turned out beautifully even if my husband was less than enthused. She pays attention to detail and made us look stellar in the final result. Delivery of our CD was prompt and she even did a photo book for us that was just perfect. We live in Texas, and everyone I know has commented on how beautiful her photos were. You cannot go wrong with Callie Gardner.

    Callie Gardiner Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and hope to get he opportunity to photograph you all again one day!

    Callie is a talented photographer with a wonderful personality. What we feared would be an awkward experience (as my husband and I are a bit camera shy) turned out to be quite fun. She kept us at ease and laughing throughout our entire session. And we received our disc in just over a week! Now when I say beautiful, that's an understatement! The photos are perfect...everything we wanted and more. We've shared them with friends and family and everyone keeps raving about how great they are. From start to finish, working with Callie was a pleasure. Book CG Photography for your next event, you won't regret it!

    Callie was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I both loved her. She took a great amount of time with us to make sure we got amazing shots! Our wedding was on the beach and the shots she took of us at sunset are beautiful! She gave us tons of beautiful pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone! She is great and such a nice person to work with!

    I found Callie here on weddingwire.com and I am so glad I did! She is a fantastic photographer and just the nicest person you could hope to deal with on one of the most important days of your life. Our guests have all been commenting on how not only were the photos absolutely beautiful, but Callie fit in like she already knew us. We were rained out (and I mean 10+ inches of rain-rained out) and I was a total wreck but she never lost hope for some outdoor beach photos...and she was right. The sun cleared after dinner and we got the most amazing photos and we are so glad we trusted Callie with timing and all those things that she obviously knows best. Thanks for being so great and for being such a great photographer Callie! I will always be happy to recommend you!

    Callie is absolutely amazing!!! We had to book a photographer on short notice for our small beach ceremony and remarkably found Callie through our notary. I had reviewed her portfolio online and was so excited when I found out she was available.
    On the day of our wedding we met Callie for the first time (unheard of, i know) but you would never guess that from the amazing photos she was able to capture. Without even having met us Callie easily adapted to our style and preference. She truly captured who we where as a couple and was very easy to work with. Our families loved her and thanks to her every moment was captured perfectly. She even sent us a sneak peek so we had photos to share with family and friends.
    Thank you Callie for making our day extra special!!!

    Callie was absolutely amazing! (from beginning to end!) When I was first booking her she was very easy to get ahold of and always returned my calls, I had a million questions that she happily answered! She was very easy to work with! When she got to our room to start pictures I of course was very stressed getting ready and wanting everything to be perfect and she was very calming! She was more than just a photographer, she really helped things go smoothly! On to the photography, she did and outstanding job with our pictures! I have had so many compliments on how well our pictures turned out and have had multiple people ask me who took them! We had a destination wedding and had our reception two weeks later and Callie had several pictures already edited and sent to us so that we had time to order big portraits for our reception! I have never been so happy with a service and I hope I will be able to work with her again in the future! (family portaits someday :) ) Again, words cannot express how amazing she was and with it being a destination wedding I didn't have time to come meet her in person beforehand and I felt like I already knew her through our phone conversations and was very excited about how awesome it all worked out. I would absolutely recommend her! She is awesome and her work is great quality!

    Callie was absolutely wonderful. She made it our day, and was able to capture the most beautiful pictures despite the tropical storm headed our way. She was so much fun to deal with. I felt like we had known her for years. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Absolutely fabulous!!

    We hired Callie for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with her! We received the pictures today, only four weeks after the wedding and they are AWESOME! She was friendly and professional at the wedding and went above and beyond at the reception. Our DJ was very unorganized and Callie ended up prompting him when it was time for certain announcements and what not. She was flexible and and kept us laughing making it easy to get natural smiles. In addition her rates were extremely reasonable, she is such a bargain. Cannot recommend her enough, Callie was the best!

    Callie photographed my June 7, 2011 beach wedding and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the pictures. She captured very precious moments between my husband, daughter and I that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend her as she is very professional and easy to work with.

    Callie was exactly what we wanted in a photographer. She was fabulous to work with and was not overbearing. My mom and I both agree that we have not once said since the wedding, I wish we had a picture of... We did not receive prints from Callie but we did get an edited CD with all of our pictures which has proven to be much more useful than a limited number of prints.
