Great Photographer! Highly Recommend!

Crystal and Katie were our photographers for our wedding at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo and they did a stunning job. Crystal and her team were extremely professional and great to work with. Since she takes photos at Zoo events as well, she already had an idea of great places for photos which was priceless. We definitely recommend Capture Life Events for you photography needs. Thank you Crystal!

Where do I even begin!! I started using Capture Life Events when I was pregnant with my son, for maternity pictures. Since then I have used Crystal for milestone, family, and seasonal pictures. She was so patient and sweet with all four of us, she always did everything she could to capture that perfect shot. So it wasn't even a question who would shoot our engagement and wedding pictures. During our engagement shoot it was raining and she brought an umbrella & blanket for me. Those are my favorite pictures of my husband and I. The day of my wedding, the Capture Life Event team was exceptional. They far exceed my expectations. They helped us get ready, put my baby down for a nap, got us food, drove some of the party to the ceremony, bussled my dress.. the list goes on. I could never thank them enough!!! You will not be disappointed if you chose them as your photography team either!! Hands down the best!!!

Do Not Recommend

Crystal Kelley, the owner of Capture Life Events photographed my wedding on September 25, 2021. Crystal stated I would have my photos in two months. On December 30, 2021, my wedding planner reached out to her regarding the ETA on completion of the photos. Crystal stated they would be complete within 2 weeks. After December 30th, Crystal had zero communication with myself or my wedding planner until February 23, 2022. Between this time, 10+ emails were sent to Crystal between my wedding planner and I, five phone calls were made, one text message was sent and one Instagram message was sent, as well as trying to contact one of her other photographers that assisted Crystal at the wedding. During this time, Crystal continued to advertise new sessions on Instagram, although she could not complete what was already on her plate. Crystal did not respond to any attempts of contacting her until February 23, 2022, and when she finally called, she had zero apology and provided excuses with an attitude. She never took responsibility for the delay in her obligations and her focus seemed to be passing blame off to others as opposed to resolving the situation. When I emphasized on the phone my frustrations of her unprofessionalism, she responded “okay”. In addition, when I did receive my “complete” gallery of photos, some photos were missing, and a couple were blurry. When these issues were brought to her attention, there continued to be silence from her. Finally on February 28th, 2022 (5 months after my wedding and a drawn-out battle of trying to receive services paid in full), I finally received our “complete” package of photos although two blurry photos could not be corrected and one photo (the only photo with a certain individual) was lost. The effort to try to get these final items corrected was a lost cause. I had minimally known Crystal through a friend prior to hiring her, so was shocked and disappointed when this is the treatment I received. I am sharing this review in hopes of no one else having to experience what my husband and I did. I advise everyone to avoid hiring Capture Life Events. Crystal Kelley is ill-mannered, unprincipled and uncompassionate. This experience of retrieving our wedding photos was a nightmare. No one should have to wait this long or experience a situation like this, especially regarding something as special as one’s wedding memories.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have known Crystal for several years and she has always been professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. We have worked together on several projects in the past and it was always a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs.
