About

We are Lexington, Kentucky-based photographers who prefer to think of ourselves as a storytellers. We love surprises, imperfections and happy endings.

We make a phenomenal and pleasant team to work with. We intend to capture the day, not interrupt it. We are able to guide you in the planning, but we encourage you to embrace all things unexpected.

We consider our style based in tradition, maintaining a classic and timeless feel. But we always add a little more free-spirited documentation. Inspired by our surroundings, and with your personalities fueling our creativity, the result is a very unique-to-you, photojournalistic approach.

We are really bad at updating our weddingwire portfolio, and Facebook and social media in general...Please check out our blog on the official Darling Bones website for the most updated portraits!

**We are in the process of Re-Branding. You may have previously known us as Goldie & Christine Photography.

Phenomenal Photographer

Christine with Daring Tales is a phenomenal photographer. She has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and she gets the best angles. No one looks bad in pictures. She also is very thoughtful in what photographs you receive. There are no duplicates, bad outtakes, or random pictures in your finished gallery. She is very quick to respond to emails. Overall, I'd recommend using her again and again. We loved our engagement pictures and we literally could not ask for more gorgeous wedding photos. She keeps everyone looking like themselves, with no harsh editing.

An INCREDIBLE person and photographer!

We LOVE Christine! She is so great to work with. She listened to our ideas and was so creative and clear with her direction to get us the best photos. I have a few hanging in my office and people constantly stop in to tell me how awesome the photos are. We used her for both our engagement and wedding photos and will continue to do so for any other major life events. We cannot recommend her enough!

Wedding 8.4.19

Christine was amazing to work with. We opted not to do an engagement shoot, so we didn't have any prior experience with her before the wedding day, yet we still felt super comfortable and relaxed with her. She is so chill and calm. None of her poses felt weird or unnatural, and the pictures turned out so, so beautiful. Not to mention she's lightning fast to respond to questions/emails, which is exactly what you want in the planning process. We loved her and will cherish our pictures!

AMAZING photographer

I cannot speak high enough about Christine Williams and her company Daring Tales of Darling Bones. She was so laid back and low maintenance- it really felt like we just had one of our friends taking pictures for us! She didn’t make you feel awkward when taking pictures- which can be awkward sometimes! She likes to try different styles of pictures and some of them come out really cool. We told her that we loved candid photos and she definitely listened to that. We just got our wedding photos back and I am in awe of how well she nailed it. She really was able to capture our personalities as well as some good moments from throughout the wedding. I would 100% recommend her for any of your photographer needs. I know that next time we need a photographer, she is the first one I am going to call!

Daring Tales shot the weddings of two of our close friends and based on those photos and experiences we knew we had to have them for our wedding at Warrenwood Manor in November 2017! They were everything we could have wanted. So responsive and easy to work with. Very unobtrusive the day of. Beyond friendly and fun to be around. Perfectly captured the vibe and emotions of the day. We love their documentary style candid shots and feel honored that they were a part of our day! A+ photographers from beginning to end! Would highly recommend!

The absolute best! She was attentive and worked with us on all of those special spots we wanted and also gave us ideas for things we never thought about! All of our photos were phenomenal. Would definitely choose again!

Wow. Christine and her team go well above and beyond to create the wedding memories of your DREAMS. Working with them was by far the easiest part of our wedding (minus the actual marrying part). If you're looking for a sign to pick the perfect photographer, USE THIS ONE. They are masters at fading into the background, letting everything feel organic and real, while still capturing every. single. moment. They captured so many of our goofy antics, our love, and the fun we had. I would recommend them to anyone wanting unique, beautiful images. Every detail they put into their photos and work is simply amazing. They even sent our photos in a twin wrapped, vintage tin. 3 months later and we are still looking at our photos every day in complete awe. Thank you so much Christine and to you're amazing team. We plan on working again with them in the future and will tell everyone we know about them!

These girls are the best!! Christine also took our engagement photos and she is so great to work with. My husband and I had never had any professional photos done before our engagement ones and we were nervous! Christine totally put us at ease and got some great shots too! And our wedding pictures are amazing. These girls climbed trees and got in a stream to get unique shots of us. I loved working with them! We will definitely use them in the future!!

Christine was so friendly, professional, and creative! She put us at ease while taking the photos and I could not be happier with the results. The photos turned out great! Two months later and I still cannot stop looking at them. Christine really captured the day beautifully!

I can't tell you enough how much I loved our photographers! This was one aspect of our wedding that I was willing to pay more for, because in the end the photos are all you get to keep and share for years to come. It was expensive but worth every penny. Christine is so easy to work with. She was prompt in responding to me leading up to the big day. The pricing was clear, which I wasn't finding with other photographers. She was not bothered when my girls and I ran late getting to meet her and didn't make me feel bad for making her wait. We had rain all morning (until literally 5 minutes before the ceremony) so our first looks and group shots were done in the rain and they were BREATHTAKING. Christine was out there like a trooper getting soaked but creating this beautiful art without being phased. We were not familiar with the area and Christine even made a little trip the week before to find some amazing backdrops for us.

You can tell immediately upon viewing her portfolio that she is a true artist and she really does seem to love photography. We have gotten comments from guests about how much they enjoyed her, because she was friendly, non-intrusive, stayed late into the night, and they are obsessed with our photos. I enjoyed getting the raw image files and being able to choose what to print (though that was very difficult, as I had 300+ favorites). My husband really hates having his picture taken and she made it so painless for him. Even the portraits were a good time and we barely noticed her during the reception, though I know from the photos she didn't miss a minute. I think she could be my new best friend if I ever moved to Lexington, that is how much I enjoyed Christine! I fully expect to see her work in a gallery someday so I recommend booking her while she is still doing weddings.

We met Goldie and Christine while shooting a wedding with them. They were a pleasure to work with (and, trust me, not all photographers are). They were not only incredibly considerate of our shots, but they are simply pleasant and hard working people. After trading business cards, we looked up their work and liked it so much we actually booked a session with them for ourselves. Can't wait for the next wedding we share. Highly recommend Goldie & Christine Photography to everyone.
