House of Willingham

Christian is the definition of a professional photographer, outstanding business owner, and wonderful person. I am so lucky and grateful to have had her as my wedding photographer. From the first consultation call with her to saying goodbye at the end of the wedding day, I am beyond impressed with her professionalism, passion, kindness, creativity, efficiency, communication, and transparency. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every step of the planning and photography process are organized, stress-free, and fun. My husband and I are absolutely in love with our wedding gallery. Christian captured every moment of the day perfectly and is excellent at keeping everything on track so that she can meet all of the goals that we set for photography. Throughout the wedding day it felt as if Christian was not just our photographer but also our friend and biggest cheerleader. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer!!!

Truly an incredible experience from start to finish! Christian was professional, kind, attentive, and made us feel so at ease. Throughout the planning process, Christian was always readily available to answer our questions and provide support when needed. We had a few special requests and Christian accommodated all of them, while also sharing her recommendations on how to seamlessly incorporate everything within our timeline. From family photos in Korean traditional outfits prior to the ceremony, to a group photo with all of our guests to kick off the dancing, to capturing photos of our private last dance and sparkler exit - Christian brought it all to life and with so much grace! On our wedding day, Christian and her second photographer, Tommy, captured both posed and candid moments perfectly, and the photos are absolutely stunning! They were fantastic at keeping us on schedule, commanding large groups for family photos, and ensuring the day was stress-free. The energy was great, the photos are breathtaking, and they truly captured the magic of our day all while making it feel effortless and fun! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, leading to genuine, beautiful photos we will cherish forever. Choosing Christian and her team was easily the best decision ever! We loved working with her and we know you will too! :)

My wife and I chose Christian as our photographer because of her shooting style. My wife, Ashley, found her through an engagement shoot of a beautiful interracial queer couple. While the inclusivity was absolutely amazing, what struck us most was how thoughtfully Christian ensured the lighting was suitable for both subjects. We instantly fell in love.
We booked her for our wedding before we even knew it would be a destination wedding. We had our engagement photos taken in Raleigh, NC, and they were beautiful. Over the next year, both my wife and I lost a substantial amount of weight, and Christian reshot our engagement photos in the Charlotte area. During that year, we unexpectedly grew very fond of Christian. By the time our wedding arrived, we truly loved having her there.
Not only do we love her as a person, but her professionalism on the day of the wedding was unmatched. She’s the perfect amount of quirky—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, comfortable, and heard. Ashley is a bit camera shy, and Christian came fully prepared with poses and directions to guide her. I’m a little less camera shy, and Christian made sure I had time to move in ways that felt most flattering to me, while still giving me angles and direction that fit the vision we cultivated together.
I couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. She was the first vendor we secured, and we were completely at ease knowing that if nothing else went right that day, our memories would still be captured exceptionally.
With two brides, we knew how much time and intention goes into ensuring both brides receive the attention and photos they deserve. At the last minute, we added a second shooter and a content creator from the House of Willingham team. Tommy and Maddy made us feel so safe and comfortable—like we’d known them for years. The way the entire team works together is truly seamless. I wasn’t sure how it would work having multiple people with a shared vision, but honestly, it was a 10,000/10 experience.
We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, personable, and kind team. Christian literally fell into a bush during our ceremony to get the perfect shot. Her dedication to her craft is evident not only in her work, but in the way she makes people feel. I couldn’t be more grateful for both the experience and the results. Her work truly speaks for itself.

I know this will sound cliche since so many others have said the same thing… but hiring Christian as our wedding photographer was seriously one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. From the start, she was extremely communicative and clear on the process, expectations, timeline, etc. We got married out of state and unfortunately weren’t able to complete an engagement shoot with Christian. Despite not meeting her until the day of our wedding, she made us both feel SO comfortable the entire time. For someone like myself who has always really disliked being photographed, Christian provided clear (and fun) direction and made me feel like I’ve been professionally modeling for years. Christian and her assistant photographer Tommy were both also willing to experiment with our Super 8 camera, and they ended up getting a bunch of great shots that my husband edited into the cutest little wedding video. Most importantly, we cannot get over how perfectly our photos turned out… they are absolutely gorgeous. We are having the hardest time narrowing down our favorites, which is a lovely problem to have. We truly could not provide a stronger or more heartfelt recommendation for hiring House of Willingham!!!

Christian and her team were perfect. Everyone was professional, fun, and really skilled. We had an amazing experience before, during, and after our wedding thanks to her expertise. The final photos are absolutely stunning, and she was very prompt sharing them. Thank you so much for capturing these memories for us!!

Christian was an absolute dream to work with, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful we chose her as our engagement and wedding photographer!

From our very first engagement shoot, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera! Christian is incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, responsive, creative, and so easy to be around. She offered thoughtful suggestions on everything from outfits to poses and brought so many fresh/fun ideas to the table!!

If you’re on the fence about booking a photographer, seriously… look no further than Christian. Already dreaming up excuses to work with her again for future sessions!!!

As a wedding planner myself, I have high expectations—and Christian exceeded every one of them. She put me completely at ease, knowing that all of our photos were in expert hands. She made both me and my wife feel so comfortable and truly captured our beauty in every shot.

Christian has an incredible gift for making everyone feel at ease, from our families to our entire bridal party. She was an absolute trooper—both for traveling to our destination wedding and for being so patient with me and my (very particular!) requests.

She is truly amazing at what she does, and we’re so grateful to have had her capture our day.

Christian is the best photographer we could've ask for! From the beginning her calm, cool, collected personality attracted us. She is very forward about what to expect throughout the process and always professional. She is great at directing poses and made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera! Christian was always organized, from game-planning for the Wedding Day to shuffling people in and out of family photos. She works very efficiently! Even our friends, family, and guests spoke about how impressed they were with her coordination and organization. She captured the perfect combination of posed and candid photos from our special day. Christian went above and beyond to capture magical photos outside in the freezing cold as it snowed on our day! Our entire gallery is beautiful and I'm extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend working with Christian for any photography needs you have!

Christian was always prepared and professional. She captured beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

We cannot express enough how incredible our experience was with Christian! Throughout the entire planning process, she was professional, creative, responsive and incredibly talented. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, capturing all of the candid moments and emotions throughout our big day. I got so many compliments from family and friends that these were the best wedding photos they have ever seen! Everyone had a lot thrown their way that day with crazy weather and Christian handled it all with a calm and professional attitude!

Her attention to detail and genuine care are what stood out to us the most. She has a "do whatever it takes" work ethic! We cannot say enough good things about Christian and our experience!

If you're looking for a photographer who will truly capture the essence of your day in the most beautiful way possible, look no further. We are beyond happy with the entire experience and highly recommend Christian!
