We just had our wedding June 2022 in the Tavern Ball Room at Chesapeake Bay Beach club. To be honest, she is absolutely the best. She made us feel extremely comfortable from the start of our initial call. I immediately wanted her over any other photographer when she said she does natural photos and she wants them to look timeless. Not have all these filtered photos, and 30 years from now regret anything. Christa made the process so easy, that I had absolutely no concerns going into our wedding day. Her planning skills are beyond helpful. She has a timeline down to minutes! (Very impressive) The day of our wedding, it felt like Christa was our friend taking photos with us. Christa knows our venue so well. She knew all of the secret spots to go and have photos at, I didn’t even know some of the places existed at my own venue! My husband and I had no idea what to do when it comes to posing for the photos. Christa made it all so smooth and gave directions perfectly. She wanted to make sure we had a million different photos for our memories but knew we wanted to get back to the party. She was fast, conscious. Two days after the wedding Christa gave us a sneak peek of our photos and they were absolutely stunning!! We are so excited to see the rest. I personally can contest that you should pick her as your photographer! Don’t hesitate at all. You will not regret it.

From our very first phone call, I knew Christa would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer. We instantly bonded over our mutual love of the Jonas Brothers, and from that moment on, everything just clicked. During our engagement shoot, Christa completely exceeded our expectations. She guided us through every pose with ease, made the entire experience feel fun and natural, and somehow got my now-husband Ben not only comfortable in front of the camera, but enthusiastic about every shot! That shoot left me even more excited and confident going into our wedding day. On the wedding day itself, Christa and her second photographer were absolute lifesavers. They seamlessly wrangled family members for portraits, kept everything moving on schedule (thanks to an incredibly detailed timeline she created) and made the entire day feel smooth and stress-free. One of my favorite pieces of feedback from a guest was that Christa felt “invisible, yet always got the shot,” which couldn’t be more accurate. She struck the perfect balance of being present without ever feeling intrusive. It was also incredibly hot and humid on our wedding day, and you would never know it from the photos. Every image is stunning—timeless, beautifully captured, and not overly edited with heavy filters. These are photos we will truly cherish forever. On top of that, she delivered an extensive sneak peek so quickly, which made reliving those moments even more special. We truly loved working with Christa and cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for a talented, professional, organized, and genuinely fun wedding photographer!

Christa was AMAZING! We had a call with her, she was clear and answered all of our questions. We did an engagement shoot and her pictures were to die for. We had never done a professional shoot before and she helped us with posing and making sure we were comfortable. She was very knowledgeable at our venue, knew exactly where to take pictures at what time for the best lighting and they came out like an absolutely dream. We never felt rushed at the wedding. She was available to speak whenever we needed for the wedding and assured us along the way. She helped create our shot list to make sure we had all of the pictures we needed for our families. As a bride, I didn't have to think at all, she kept us on track and where we needed to be. I felt very comfortable with her and was easily able to put my trust in her for my special day! Absolutely no complaints.

As parents of the bride, we had an incredible experience working with our daughter's wedding photographer, Christa Rae. From the very beginning, she was polite, professional, and extremely responsive. Every question we had was answered quickly and thoughtfully, which made the entire planning process so much easier.
On the wedding day, Christa and Kelly blended seamlessly into the event offering guidance when needed while still capturing natural, candid moments. Their calm and friendly presence helped us feel more comfortable on the big day and was so appreciated. Highly recommend hiring Christa Rae Photography.

Christa was an absolute angel to work with. Her calm presence and professionalism was the ultimate asset on our wedding day making her truly the MVP throughout the day. We did a first look and the bulk of our photos prior to the ceremony. Her and Christina (her second shooter) made this experience easy, structured, and more enjoyable than we could have imagined. Her work speaks for itself, but it’s really her assuring nature that puts her over the top. We are so pleased we got to work with her and Christina and would recommend to anyone!

Christa was amazing every step of the way. From answering all our questions to personalizing the timeline that was best for our family, she was incredibly sweet, thoughtful, professional and thorough. She made everyone feel right at ease and the photos turned out timeless and elegant! Cannot say enough good things!!!

Christa made our whole wedding journey amazing throughout our engagement and wedding photos. She was amazing to work with and the photos captured the magic of our wedding day!

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and Christa captured it all one photo at a time.

She has an extraordinary gift for capturing the essence of a moment. Her and her assistant were able to document every detail with such artistry. Each photograph perfectly encapsulates the emotions and joy of our special day. They blended seamlessly into the background while still managing to capture every key moment. They were both professional and personable, making us and our guests feel at ease throughout the entire event. Their eye for detail and creative vision transformed our memories into timeless treasures. Our final album is beyond beautiful, and we’ve received many compliments on how breathtaking the photos are. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out—each image tells a part of our story, and together, they narrate the perfect day we’ll cherish forever.

We wholeheartedly recommend Christa to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond. Her work is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful to have had her capture our wedding day.

Wanted to give a big thanks to Christa Rae and her team. My wife and I just received our wedding photos and we love them. She captured our day perfectly and now we have snapshots to be able to look at forever and to share with our friends and family.

We cannot express how grateful we were to have had such a kind, easygoing, caring photographer who is amazing at her job! Highly recommend!

Booking Christa for our June 2024 wedding was our easiest and BEST decision in the wedding planning process! We had seen Christa's beautiful pictures and professionalism as a photographer from two of our friends' weddings in 2021 and 2022. We new we wanted to book Christa as soon as we got engaged! Christa was unbelievably helpful in answering our questions and giving us ideas in terms of engagement shoot locations from the start of the process. Christa was so quick to answer all of our questions and was truly so amazing to work with! Christa beautifully captured our engagement pictures and our wedding day. She provided us with sneak peeks of our pictures within 24 hours of our engagement shoot, and 48 hours of our wedding day! That is just something you don't see very often! We would recommend Christa a million times over to any couple looking for absolutely gorgeous photos from their day!
