Our photographer for our July wedding was Christine Antaya; her photography company is: A Captured Moment by Christine. I was very happy with all the vendors we used at our wedding, but Christine exceeded all our expectations. When we were looking for photographers, I knew I wanted to meet Christine based on the pictures on her website. I loved her photography because it was unique and beautiful. Her photography is very artistic, and it stood out when I looked at numerous photography websites. We ended up meeting with Christine at a local Starbucks, and I knew within the first five minutes that I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. In our initial meeting, I was convinced that she was reliable and honest. More importantly, I knew she LOVED her profession, and she is extremely passionate about what she does. In addition to being artistic and passionate about her career, I liked the fact that she would give us a CD of all or images and the rights to each image. Having a CD of all the photos was important to me. After we signed a contract with Christine, she surprised us with a FREE engagement session. She wanted to do this so we could all feel comfortable with each other before the actual wedding day. She met us at the Scottsdale Civic Center for our free engagement session. I believe she took photographs for about two hours. It was very fun, and she gave us a CD with all the images. On the actual wedding day, she was like my fairy godmother. She met me before the ceremony while I was getting ready, and she took fun and adorable pictures of me and my matron of honor (my only bridesmaid). In addition to taking pictures, she helped my matron of honor lace the back of my dress because that is definitely a two-person job. After she captured pictures of me getting ready, she raced to the church where my husband-to-be was getting ready with his groomsman. She was able to get pictures of him getting ready. After the ceremony was over, she was very efficient while taking pictures of us and our family at the church. Once we got back to our reception location, Val Vista Lakes, she took amazing pictures near the waterfalls and trees. Again, she was very efficient without sacrificing the quality of the pictures. A few of our guests even commented on how quickly we arrived at our reception. Christine was very mindful of the fact that we wanted to enjoy our reception. At one point, the bustle on my wedding gown broke. Christine, my fairy godmother, saved the day! She worked with my matron of honor to fix my dress. She said it happens often, and she knew exactly how to fix it. In addition, she had a supply of safety pins to make the fix. Overall, Christine captured every special moment at our wedding, and I cannot stress how pleased I am with my wedding pictures. She took all the important pictures. As I look at the pictures, I am in awe of her versatility. She knows how to take different types of pictures. Some are unique, others are very artistic, some are sweet, others are funny, but most of all, they are beautiful. In addition to her personality and her ability to take beautiful pictures, her prices are very fair. Her packages are much more reasonable than most photographers. Plus, she made us a gorgeous, hardbound book of our wedding photographs. I plan to use Christine for all future photography needs, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. She is outstanding at her profession, and she is the type of caring photographer you want on your special day.
