Creative Photography + Kind Photographer: Chrystina is the Best!

Chrystina was an absolute gem from start to finish! Despite us being behind on our getting ready timeline, she never rushed us or made us worry. Instead, she calmly rolled with the punches and ensured everything fell into place seamlessly. Her fun, pleasant demeanor and professionalism were truly reassuring on our wedding day.

Chrystina's talent for visualizing shots and seeing opportunities for creative photos is nothing short of spectacular. She worked with lightning speed, capturing moments we didn't even realize were happening and suggesting shots that turned out to be some of our favorites. Her eye for detail and innovative approach resulted in unique and stunning photos that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our day.

In addition, we were amazed by her speedy turnaround times. We received sneak peeks the very next day, which were breathtaking and had us reliving every moment. Within a week, she delivered the entire gallery of photos, each one more stunning than the last.

Chrystina's talent is undeniable, and her ability to capture the essence of our day so beautifully is something we'll cherish forever. Thank you, Chrystina, for making our wedding memories so incredibly special!

The best experience with the best photographer!

Chrystina is amazing! I absolutely loved having her as my wedding photographer. I didn't even have to think about how to pose, she gave amazing directions and made my photos turn out beautiful. She was also great at reminding me to breathe and look relaxed. She was a joy and a comfort on such a busy wedding day. The communication before, during, and after the wedding was wonderful. I never had to worry about anything with her. I also had my bridal photos with her and she made me feel gorgeous. If you want a true professional, that will do a stellar job and put your mind at ease, don't think twice, book her!

Our Forever after through a lens!

Chrystina was a blast to work with on our special day. She is a true master behind the camera. She captured absolutely every detail I wanted and even more! Very professional and very communicative. She arrived on time and started working immediately. She made us all feel very comfortable while posing for pictures. She made the process very easy from the beginning. She created a timeline for us to follow which allowed us to stick to our schedule and still have time to mingle with our guests. We had a blast at our wedding and wished it would have never ended. With Christina’s work and the photos captured we can now re live our always and forever moments anytime we want!

The most phenomenal photographer!

Chrystina was everything we didn’t know we needed on our wedding day. She was the calm in the storm. She doesn’t skip and beat, EVER! Her and her assistant caught every single moment from our wedding in the most beautiful and authentic shots. I felt all the feels looking at my photos from our wedding day. She truly captured our day and every photo makes your relive the moment. We are so grateful to have had her and would chose her a million times over. She is the best! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Wedding MVP

For all the brides who are Type A, have blended families, value flexibility and excellent communication, and / or simply want peace of mind that your wedding photos will be perfect, hire Chrystina. On my wedding day, she was the MVP I didn’t know I needed. I researched 20+ photographers and had 3 “finalist” virtual meetings to decide who to select. She blew our other 2 finalists out of the competition real fast. She immediately demonstrated professionalism, organization, kindness, humor, and she is assertive in a way that I felt I could trust her to get the 65+ relatives in our immediate family + wedding party photographed. Upon request, she was able to swap a bridal session for a rehearsal dinner shoot, and it was perfect. I was married at a family residence, and she captured angles like no one in my family has ever noticed. The unintentional, natural tendency of my husband and I in photos is to look and feel soooo awkward. I’ve never had a better photographer to explain exactly how to pose, rest my hand, tilt my head, etc. to look so effortless and beautiful until I met Chrystina! Seriously, if you’ve read this far, just go ahead and book her now!

Incredible. Fascinating. Diligent. Persevering. Best photographer choice you will make!

**INCREDIBLE. FASCINATING. DILIGENT. PERSEVERING** Not only is Chrystina an incredible and fascinating person to work with, but the diligent and persevering ethic that she puts into her craft does not go unnoticed. Due to the Pandemic, Our Wedding became an event that took two years to properly plan and ensure it was 'the right time' to bring our family, friends and loved ones together. To say the least, selecting the perfect photographer to capture every memory of our day was essential! My want in a photographer and their work was simple... bright, clean and crisp. And although you will see this in many pieces of work produced by photographers, capturing the perfect pose with the perfect light, in addition adding a multitude of various personalities and walks of life (humans and animals), there is much more than an 'easy shot or perfect light' that needs to be considered. Chrystina embodied all of it! It was a no brainer choice and I am beyond pleased with all of the moments captured and work she has produced from my Special Day. I have seen many other Brides and Couples post about what she does during her event shootings and it is all true. She is in everything! Making sure not only her work is being completed, but that everything else is also being done and falling perfectly in place. From the veil, the dress bustle, to creating a diversion for a fur baby, she does it all! Straughan Photography is the perfect choice for any event and will be my #1 choice for all of my future events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
