Wedding 9/21/24 Providence

Highly recommend Bayless Photography! The entire Bayless Photography team was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with how our wedding photos came out.

Crissy was always so kind, organized, and professional to work when planning the wedding. We were pleased to have our photos back only a few weeks after the wedding. We wish we could add more pictures to the review to show off all the amazing pictures!

Lisa and Amanda were our photographers the day of and they were both very sweet, creative and flexible. We felt very comfortable working with them. They gave direction when needed, helped us get every photo on our wish list while also captured lots of great candid moments. Despite a last minute change in plans for our photos and ceremony due to heavy rain, they helped find new locations and the photos came out better than we imagined.

Thank you Lisa, Amanda and Crissy for helping capture our special day!

Wedding photography review

Bayless Photography was absolutely amazing to work with. Crissy’s prompt and thorough responsiveness made the entire wedding planning experience much easier. She did a beautiful job on all our photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything came out. We were very lucky to have such an amazing photographer!

Wonderful experience

We hired Crissy as our wedding photographer and we really enjoyed our experience. We really liked her bright airy style and she has a great eye for both posed photos and candids. She had fantastic communication throughout the whole process. She delivered early for us on all of her deadlines which was a huge plus for an impatient person like myself! On wedding day, I really felt like Crissy and her second shooter were my security team. They protected me from nosey guests and country club members and made sure to get every shot I asked for. We thank Chrissy for capturing our day with ease and expertise. We will cherish our photos from both our wedding and engagement session for the rest of our lives.

Definitely recommend!

Crissy and her second photographer did an outstanding job capturing the magic of our wedding day. From the start, Crissy was a pleasure to work with—professional, approachable, and incredibly flexible. She and her teammate were more than willing to accommodate our photo ideas, while also offering helpful suggestions of their own. Their friendly demeanor made everyone feel at ease, and the results speak for themselves! The photos were delivered quickly, and the variety and quality exceeded our expectations. Plus, the pricing was very reasonable for the exceptional value we received. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Crissy to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!"

What an amazing photographer

Crissy Bayless was literally the best. She could navigate both fussy babies and family members with ease. Super friendly and easygoing, extremely professional and reliable, and has a great eye for details and shots. My husband and I are so happy that we choose her as our photographer.

Incredible photographer with the BEST attitude!

Crissy and her assistant Lisa were INCREDIBLE! We received the 800+ photos back from our wedding, tried to narrow it down to ‘just’ the ones we absolutely loved, and still had over 300+ photos in our favorites album!

Crissy has actually been our wedding photographer for three years. You see, we initially booked way back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding, which was postponed multiple times due to lockdown. We knew rescheduling would be a hassle but we were determined to find a date that specifically worked for Crissy because of the amazing experience that we had during our engagement shoot.

I’d like to share a few points that really made Crissy and Lisa stand out to us:

* Incredible flexibility and organization. We had postponed 2 years, but Crissy was so willing to work with us as we rescheduled 3 times to find a date when we could safely celebrate. She had all of our original paperwork years later, and when the 2022 date drew close, we were able to resume conversations as no time had passed.

* Such a FUN and easygoing attitude! My husband and I are complete goofballs, who did not make it easy for Crissy & team to pose us in romantic ways. We were constantly giggling, but Crissy found a way to highlight the glee and quirkiness in a way that still captured the love in our hearts and eyes.

* If you are awkward taking pictures, then Lisa and Crissy are completely the right pair for you. Lisa realized very quickly that I just do not know what to do with my hands and gave me very specific instructions on where to place them. It was such a relief to have that extra bit of instruction done in a way that was still playful and never patronizing.

* We had a lot of last-minute changes with family photos, and Crissy was easily able to revise on the fly.

* GREAT WITH DOGS! Of course, our pup had to be included in some of our photos, and Crissy (a dog lover herself!) was able (at our request) to make our pup a centerpiece of our engagement photos.

* Crissy and Lisa felt like part of the bridal party. We laughed with them the entire time and just had a complete blast. They put us at ease, and in doing so were able to capture genuine smiles.

* The pictures are gorgeous. We are struggling to narrow it down to just a few to send to family and friends. We loved so many photos that we specifically bought a digital frame to display them all alongside some printed ones.

We chose Crissy based on a fabulous recommendation from a friend, and I will be passing that same recommendation on to anyone else I know getting married. Crissy is fabulous, able to handle even the most quirky families & friends, and captures the moments where you were having too much fun to even realize pictures were happening.

Wedding photo memories

We used Crissy and her partner for our backyard wedding and it was fantastic! Due to the pandemic we had to reschedule 3x and Crissy was nothing but supportive and responsive throughout the entire process. We will be using her again next year for the "big wedding" and we can't wait to work together one more time. The photos came out beautiful. She also made a rather "crummy" day (married during a tropical storm) - a magical memory! Highly recommend Crissy for any photography needs!

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

Crissy was amazing to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. In the time of COVID it is priceless to have a photographer who is so flexible and understanding. Crissy stuck with us through a change in date and then a change from our initial venue to our backyard wedding. Not only was she flexible but she managed to get my 6yr old to smile for so many photos and all my wedding guests commented on how nice she was and easy to work with. And, we got our wedding photos 7 days after our wedding. Unbelievable! Would highly recommend!!

Great experience

I highly recommend working with Crissy as your wedding photographer. From the initial meeting onwards, she was always friendly, professional, flexible, responsive and helpful. She helped us find a beautiful spot for the engagement session and we loved how the photos turned out. When we had to cancel our initial March wedding date because of corona virus restrictions, she worked with us on a new date and adjusted to our impromptu ceremony. I am so happy we chose Crissy to capture our special day!

I can't recommend Bayless Photography highly enough! They gave us an incredible deal- from a free engagement shoot and photo booth at the reception to getting digital copies of thousands of photos included, we got SO MUCH for our money. More importantly, Crissy and her assistant Lisa did a phenomenal job with our engagement and wedding photos- they were awesome with the kids (and our dog at the engagement shoot) and made sure to take every single picture I wanted. They were out in the scorching heat photographing for hours and never once complained or tried to rush us. They are true professionals with top of the line equipment and must have spent hours photoshopping out parked cars/ traffic cones in the background of some of our group shots just so we could take pictures in the shade. They also got us a sneak peak of our wedding photos within a few days and literally thousands of edited photos within a weak and a half. I would absolutely recommend without reservation.

We LOVED having Crissy as our photographer! For two people who do not like getting their photos taken, Crissy made the entire experience easy, fun, and enjoyable! Working with Crissy was not just a wonderful experience, she also produced the most beautiful photographs, capturing all the special moments that could have easily gone missed. Crissy designed out wedding album that we will cherish forever. Can't thank Crissy enough!

Crissy and Sarah were absolute perfection on my wedding day! They could see from the first few pictures that I didn't love being the center of attention, but somehow I managed to stay calm and collected for the entire day because they created such an atmosphere of fun, love and happiness. I was so grateful that that they were there to capture those moments.

Crissy was extremely communicative after the wedding and I received all of my beautiful photos within just a few short weeks. I highly recommend Bayless Photography for your wedding (or any event)!

One of the most important things about my wedding day were the photos to remember the event forever. Bayless did an amazing job! They were so professional and sent me all of my photos from the wedding and rehearsal so quickly. Bayless has a great questionnaire to fill out to help pick out the photos you want for your big day and makes everything so easy and simple. I loved all of my photos so much and my family did as well. Looking at them helps relive how wonderful the day was!

I wish I could give Bayless more than 5 stars. Since the moment I met Jay and Kim, I knew that our wedding would be remembered beautifully by the photos they captured. It was awesome having two photographers, one for close ups and one for wide angle shots and they captured all of our special moments and emotions of our wedding day. Jay and Kim were very friendly and fun and I couldn’t have wanted anything better. My husband and I were blown away by our wedding photos and we continue to receive tons of compliments on our pictures and how amazing they turned out! The owner Crissy was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated on the editing process of our photos. We were amazed by how many photographs they took and we received a USB drive with all our photos. My husband and I will highly recommend Bayless Photography for your wedding or special event.

We chose Bayless Photography because they were one of the preferred photographers for the package deal our venue offered, and we felt like we were getting the best deal for our money. We were so happy with our choice! We worked with Crissy, the owner, on all of the details, as well as to set up our engagement session, and she made everything so easy! We had two photographers on the day of and everything was so smooth. Corey and Jay were super efficient and got all of the shots we wanted (as well as the ones we didn't know we wanted!). I wish we had a few more portraits of my husband and I, but there is only so much time on your wedding day and it goes by so fast! They threw in a free photo station and props, which was a huge hit with the guests. And they gave us a fantastic deal on an engagement session too. All of the pictures came out wonderfully, and the editing was very nicely done. We got a USB drive with all of the photos afterward--they took a TON--and could also order some professional prints through their website. They make great Christmas gifts!! I am so glad we trusted Bayless Photography to capture our big day. They did an absolutely fantastic job and I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend them!!

Crissy is a wonderful photographer who anticipates the needs of the bride and groom and does everything she can to ensure things run smoothly--without drama--on the wedding day. I cannot imagine having anyone else shoot my wedding. In addition to her professionalism, attentiveness and great eye, Crissy is also a really nice person. She clicked with us immediately and blended well with the rest of our guests at the wedding. Everyone wanted to have their photos taken by Crissy and as a result, she got some really awesome shots. We were so happy with our final photos that we have hired Crissy to shoot other events for us. I highly recommend Crissy!

We came across Bayless Photography through our wedding venue. From this first time I spoke with Crissy I knew she was the perfect fit for us! Crissy was very accommodating with our schedules when it came time for meetings and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Crissy was very quick to respond to emails and phone calls.
When it came time for the wedding day she was not only on time but early with her other photographer. She took the information we had given her for a "vision" for pictures and she incorporated everything we could imagine and hope for.
We received our sneak peak about a week after the wedding and it definitely left us wanting more. We were over the moon with how great they came out.
We got the rest of our pictures back about a month later. We were very happy with how they came out. She captured all the moments we could imagine.
She is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and just overall a great person to have around, especially during such a stressful time.
We are soooooo happy with the service and quality of our wedding photos. We would recommend anyone and everyone we know to use Bayless Photography and will be hiring them again for future needs (family photos, etc.)
Thank you Crissy for your hand in making our day amazing!!!

I would highly recommend Bayless Photography. I had a lot of trouble finding a photographer with lack of responsiveness and a cancellation. I wish I would have saved the headache and e-mailed Crissy Bayless first thing. She responded to me immediately and put me at ease. She is extremely responsive, professional, helpful and an excellent photographer. I wouldn't even call around, just book Bayless, it's worth it. Crisssy is prepared and goes over all the shots and timing well in advance of your wedding day. She works with all the requests you have and makes sure you have a great time but also get GREAT photos. Crissy and Jay were awesome on my wedding day and everything ran so smoothly. If you wanted to move on to the next photo or the cocktail hour or the reception, they made sure to work with you and ensure you enjoyed the day. I LOVED the photos we received and how quickly we received them. Crissy even follows-up with you after you receive everything to make sure it all is to your liking. You can't go wrong with Bayless, seriously.

Crissy was very accommodating when we were planning for my daughter's big day! My daughter had several requests regarding the types of shots and the different people she wanted in them and Crissy had her checklist with her to be sure they captured every single one! Crissy and Jay were very professional and very patient with our large bridal party of 20 people, including 2 young flower girls. They even came to our house to take pictures of the girls getting ready as well as taking outdoor shots around a swimming pool. Jay left to take pictures of the groom and groomsmen at the venue. We also had a photo booth set up at the reception that our guests thoroughly enjoyed! I've noticed many of them using those shots for their FB profile pictures. We have a lot of memories in the digital/CD library we received very quickly after the wedding. There were so many excellent pictures that we've had a hard time narrowing down the ones to print for the keepsake album. I highly recommend Bayless Photography for any event!

Crissy was a fantastic photographer! We got married on October 1st, right in the heart of wedding season, but Crissy never made us feel rushed or like we didn't have her full attention. She was also incredibly sweet and fun to work with on our wedding day. She gave us a sheet to fill out several weeks before the wedding, and she used that on the day of to guide the formal pictures that we wanted, which made it so easy to get them done! She and her partner also got wonderful candid shots, which were so much fun to see! I had a few shots of some family heirlooms that I wanted taken, and those turned out beautifully as well.
What impressed me the most was that she had not photographed at our venue before, and she actually took a trip to the venue on her own time and met with the in-house coordinator and took a tour, so she a sense of the layout and what would and wouldn't work for the pictures.
We had our full pictures (over 600!) back in less than 6 weeks, which for the busy time of year was not bad at all! I could not recommend her enough!

Bayless photography was anything I could have asked for and more! Crissy was so fast to communicate with any questions- no matter what time I sent an email, I heard back within an hour. Jay photographed my wedding and heard exactly what I wanted and executed with ease. He put my husband, who hates taking pictures, at ease. He was great with our whole bridal party and family. Our posed pictures and ceremony pictures are near perfection and the pictures from the reception were spot on to what we were wanting (more action shots there). Getting the pictures was a better experience than any friend or family member has had with their wedding pictures and I highly recommend.

Crissy did an amazing job with our photographs for our wedding. They were gorgeous--everyone who sees them agrees--and she was so easy and wonderful to work with. Her services were also a great deal compared to others that I talked to at the time; her prices were very reasonable for my budget, and the quality was just as good if not much better than what I could have gotten from another vendor. And, we got to keep the rights to use the pictures however we wanted! I have often said of my wedding planning that my photographer was the best decision I made. The next year, my best friend used Bayless for her wedding, too.

Crissy Bayless Photography is AWESOME. I knew I had chosen a good photographer when after three months, my wife said "Oh My Goosh, they got that shot!!! its sooo beautiful", and spent the next 20 minutes lost in the photos all over again. --- Crissys' team is so easy to work with and captures breath taking shots. We have received so many compliments. Here is one from one of my family members--- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh those pictures r beuatiful!omg i am crying.i have a few pics i jus looooooveee like the 1 when yall were dancing n she was looking into your eyes.i mean they really captured the moment.and the 1 yall was reading your notes u wrote to each other because yall couldn't see each other. if only every1 can see what they said. That was cute. I can go on n on I felt every emotion from the wedding n those pictures. Now i'm a look at the reception pics.--- Thanks Crissy and Jay for making our day beautiful memorable for years to come. Jason and Tiffany Alexander

Bayless Photography was amazing! I tried another vendor first and didn't like the outcome, at all.. Then I did a session with Crissy and all of the photos were AWESOME. We both felt so comfortable working with her that it was easy to take AMAZING photos, even though I usually don't photograph well, these turned out PERFECTLY.

So I had high expectations for my wedding, and when we received the photos back (well over a thousand) just 2 weeks after our wedding, not only was I HIGHLY IMPRESSED with the quick turnaround, but also the professional editing. And the photos were SPECTACULAR. I love so many of them! Crissy was able to capture so many special moments, some that we didn't even realized had happened until we saw them in the photos: a quick look back from the alter, a special hug from a grandparent, and some amazing dance moves by our guests!

The wedding photography package is very reasonably priced, and the quality is unbeatable. We are SO HAPPY with every experience we've had with Bayless Photography. They are professional and reliable, and probably the most important to me: really fun and easy to work with. I was glad to have Bayless Photography at my wedding, they took away my stress about getting the perfect pictures because I knew they would do a great job and I felt so comfortable with them around.

Stop looking, you found your photographer!

Crissy & Jay are amazing to work with! The first time my family met with Crissy it was at a coffee shop for my sister's wedding and we have remained great friends since then. Bayless Photography did amazing work for my sister, so when it was time to select a photographer for our wedding it was a no-brainer. Our pictures captured our day perfectly! We received our pictures in a timely manner and communication with Crissy was quick & responsive.

Chrissy Bayless and her team were amazing from the initial consultation, to our wedding day, to the delivery of our pictures. They went above and beyond to give us what we wanted and we couldn't be more satisfied. Chrissy and her team were very professional, yet they fit in with the remainder of the wedding like they were family. They captured the traditional shots as well as very candid shots of my husband and I as well as our guests. When we look at our wedding pictures, they take us right back to the day we said "I do"! We would highly recommend them to anyone is who is looking for quality photographs done by a very sweet and professional team.

We are so glad that we used Bayless Photography for our wedding! Not only are our photos beautiful and capture the emotions of the day, but Crissy was a huge help to us throughout the entire wedding-planning process. From our very first meeting with her, we knew that we would be in excellent hands - she was always ready with suggestions when we needed them (even when it wasn't about photography) and was very responsive to all of our questions. Crissy also took our engagement photos (which are all amazing) and made them an enjoyable experience, even with our rambunctious dog and my now-husband who hates being photographed! On our wedding day, Crissy and Jay were efficient, thorough, and upbeat. We cannot more highly recommend them!

Bayless Photography was absolutely outstanding! The quality of photos and their ability to capture every moment is truly a gift. I would recommend any Bride and Groom out there looking for exceptional photography to choose Bayless. They're honestly the best in the business!

Crissy made our wedding wonderful!!! She was so easy to work with and she made both sides of our families relaxed and happy (not an easy fete!). Crissy kept me calm and she allowed my husband and I to act like ourselves which made the photo's beautiful. My Dad is even still talking about how much he enjoyed working with Crissy. My husband and I cannot wait to schedule future family pictures with Bayless Photography. Thank you for everything Crissy!!!

Crissy is above all the most professional, honest, sweet, proactive, and efficient photographer. She always made sure I was comfortable and asked if I wanted specific pictures in my photography package. She made sure lighting was good, things (like shoes, dress, hair, etc.) were in place, and poses or candids were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Chrissy and Jay were an amazing team! They work very well together, making everyone having their picture taken feeling instantly at ease. They were open to our suggestions for pictures. The whole picture-taking experience flew by - they were very efficient while also being extremely thorough. During the ceremony, they were able to capture angles and shots without ever being in the way or otherwise noticed by the bride and groom or the guests. After the wedding, we received our pictures very quickly - within 2 weeks, which was great! The photos they captured were absolutely beautiful, and they captured the feel of the whole day on film. Everyone has said how beautiful our wedding pictures are! They both have truly wonderful personalities that make them such a pleasure to work with!

Crissy is amazing. Not only is she an incredible and professional photographer, but she is also just a really cool person, which makes it SO easy to work with her, especially on a high stress day like your wedding. AND because she rocks, we've gone back to Crissy time and time again for family photos. She's seen us grow from 2 to 7! Her photography has captured many wonderful memories in our lives. We use her because we love her --- and our photos are always favorite gifts among our family and friends. I HIGHLY recommend Crissy. You won't be disappointed!

Bayless Photography was excellent. From the moment I booked the session, everything went perfect. We had a meeting and went over everything from the poises, the place, and the cost. Crissy was very down to earth person. She was very easy to talk to as well as she was very fun during the wedding. Every time I've emailed her or tried to make contact with her, I haven't had any problems. Bayless Photography was VERY professional in the way they conducted their photography session but yet made it very fun. I feel like I well got my money's worth and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you Bayless Photography for making my wedding so special. I would recommend everyone to you and I will be calling for more sessions in the future.

Crissy is so responsive and quick to reply to any inquiries. We met in person so she could get an idea of what I want and I think that's important! She has any and every picture you could want already accounted for - and any I wanted outside of that she got. They are efficient and the pictures are phenomenal. Most impressive to me is how quickly she gets them edited and sent to you. I got married a week and a half before Christmas - yet had my photos Christmas Eve :) Jay is the other photographer that came and he is amazing as well. They are extremely professional, but also fun (if your bridal party is anything like mine - things get crazy!). I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event! I look forward to using them in the future.

Chrissy is a treasure! She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and she's incredibly easy to be around. She handled the engagement photos, wedding and reception for our daughter. We were blown away by the photos- quality and quantity!
Our daughter and son-in-law loved their wedding. Our families and friends complemented the event long after it was over. The vendors who impressed us the most were were Bayless Photography and DJ Tod. These were also the ones that our guests complemented the most.

Crissy & Jay are AMAZING!! I am the type of gal who hates having my picture taken...I always dislike the way I look! Crissy did our engagement shoot and the pictures speak for themselves!! For the first time in my life I looked Beautiful in pictures. Aside from gorgeous photographs Crissy also made us feel very comfortable and at ease. We loved every single one of the pictures she took and couldn't decide on favorites...we bought them ALL! We were so thrilled to have found Bayless Photography and could not wait for her to photograph our wedding. She did not disappoint!! We had an additional photographer Jay, and he was so artistic...great photography style! They were so professional and I was so impressed how quickly they got all the shots. They were so stealthy at our reception that I didn't even see them, but they got pictures of everything. Once again we received our pictures and could not decide on favorites and bought them all. I will continue to use Crissy and Jay for all my life events. Thank you so much for being a part of our PERFECT wedding!

I got the wedding photos two weeks after the wedding which I was pleasantly surprised about! The pictures were beautiful! Really unique and they caught alot of really good candid moments! I was really impressed! I'm so happy we used Bayless Photography, Inc. and would recommend them to ANYONE!

Ilove Crissy & Jay, what can I say?! Our photos are gorgeous, I wish I could show you. We really, really, reeeeeally hate having our pictures taken, we are an older, larger, couple, and they are gorgeous. Crissy made room for us in her schedule to get to know us and on the day melted into the background except for the "have to have" posed pictures. The up-close work was exquisite and all the meaningful details we wanted are captured beautifully. Also the impromptu ones that capture emotion and laughter are a treasure. Crissy's prices fit with our attempt at cost control (let that go girls, it gets bigger than you planned fast!) and made it possible for us to have every moment. Thank you so much!!

Crissy is AMAZING! She is worth every penny, and is actually much more reasonable than many photographers you will probably look into! She was the best of ALL the vendors we had for our wedding! She even stepped in during the cake cutting when things that were not her job needed to be done! Our pictures were fantastic and we had so many to choose from. We still get compliments on our album. Crissy ended up becoming a friend from this experience and we have gone on to refer her to many friends who ended up using her as well. She now photographs our growing family! You will not be disappointed. She posses the personality and skill that you want from the person photographing this special day!

I can't even begin to express how pleased we were with Bayless Photography! Crissy was such a joy to work with. She was willing to create a package that was perfect for us. She was so easy to get in touch with, and she always responded quickly. She was always professional with us, and we were lucky enough to become friends along the way! She listened to what pictures we wanted (and didn't want!) on our wedding day, and she made she we got them. She helped everything run so smoothly on the day of our wedding. I have recommended Crissy to family and friends, and I couldn't be happier with Bayless Photography's services.

Crissy and her team (Jay and Kim) are so great to work with! On our wedding day, it was rainy and cold and all I thought was "I'm not going to get the pictures that I imagined (we chose a mountain location for the beautiful landscape), what am I going to do?" Here comes Jay to the rescue! We were confined to a little rustic barn, but Jay and Kim made the most of it! While it is definitely not how I pictured my wedding, Jay and Kim were able to capture the magic of our day and the pictures turned out great. I would highly recommend Bayless Photography!

We used Bayless photography for our September wedding and reception. Crissy and Sarah were our wonderful photographers! Our wedding was in a Catholic church and they were both very respectful of the church's guidelines for photographs during the ceremony. We took family and wedding party photos after the ceremony before the reception. They were flexible and took our ideas into consideration while shooting. Since we live out of town, we actually didn't do an engagement session with Crissy so it took a little while to "get our groove" and figure out what style of informal shots worked for us. Both were so much fun to work with and they made everyone feel at ease. Sarah constantly fluffed out the my dress to make sure I looked my best. Sarah also came to the rescue at the reception when I lost a few buttons off the back of my dress! She quickly sewed me back in after my MOH and coordinator tried to pin me in. During the reception, we had a photobooth area set up. They provided all of the props and quickly troubleshot to figure out a way to provide power to their area (something the coordinator and I didn't think about ahead of time)! Our guests loved the photobooth area - it was a great activity to provide after dinner as an alternative/break from dancing. After the wedding, we quickly received a DVD with all of the original images which allowed us to print as many photos as we want for albums and frames. The only negative comment I heard was from my dad, who wished there were candid pictures of our cocktail hour. This is when the team was photographing the bridal party, though! Two women can only be in so many places at once :) I was very pleased with Crissy and Sarah and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They are an AMAZING value and a joy to work with!

They are very sweet, very responsive, and are extremely helpful with wedding planning, even though that is not their job. They also respond quickly to emails and are willing to do what you ask. There were a couple of pictures that I didn't get that I wish I had, but I only realized it long after the wedding was over and I had time to analyze every tiny detail. They made us feel very comfortable, worked very quickly, and I am very happy with my pictures. I like the way I look in all of them which is basically impossible. Love these guys.

First, the day we came back from our honeymoon...our pictures were ready! A week and a half for 900 photos? It was amazing. And they came out better than I would imagine. Crissy and Sarah were great on our wedding day, taking all the pictures we requested and then some. I love that they included pictures in our album that were goofy and really captured our personality!

Don’t do it

I wish more than anything that I didn’t have to write this review, because that would mean I was happy with the only photos I’ll ever have from my wedding. Sadly, I’m not.

Leading up to the wedding, communication with Crissy was great. She was responsive, confident, and seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. I truly thought I was in good hands. The day started off fine, but that didn’t last long.

While taking bridesmaid photos, Crissy repeatedly referred to the group as “girls,” even though one of my bridesmaids is a man. Each time she caught herself, she made a dramatic show of “correcting” it, turning what could’ve been a nonissue into an awkward moment several times. That tone set the stage for the rest of the day: unnecessary comments, poor professionalism, and a general lack of awareness.

Family photos were a mess. Despite having a full list of shots, Crissy made no effort to organize them, leaving me, the bride, to track down and call out my own family members. Later, either she or her assistant (neither would own up to it) decided it was appropriate to tell one of my bridesmaids that she “made a funny face” during the ceremony. Completely uncalled for.

During cocktail hour, my maid of honor had to come remind me to take more photos because Crissy apparently couldn’t approach me herself and told my maid of honor something along the lines of not wanting to talk to me, maybe because organizing family photos left me in a bad mood. And when she decided she was done for the night? She just left. No goodbye, no check-in, nothing. Apparently she could not find me.

Then came the “sneak peeks,” which were anything but the exiting reminder of our big day that they should have been. My flowers, jewelry (yup that’s supposed to be a pearl necklace believe it or not), and tattoos were warped beyond recognition from excessive blurring, and my face had been edited to the point that I didn’t even look like myself. The details I spent months planning, gone. When I brought this up, Crissy immediately got defensive instead of acknowledging the obvious issues. That reaction pretty much sums up every interaction I’ve had with her since: defensive, dismissive, and never accountable.

When I calmly told her I wanted to find a solution that worked for both of us, she accused me of threatening her. Let that sink in, a paying client expressing dissatisfaction was somehow a “threat.” The immaturity and unprofessionalism she’s shown in every post-wedding conversation have been astonishing.

And if all that’s not enough to make you reconsider, here’s more:

- Most photos were unevenly framed or crooked.

- Basic editing errors everywhere, overexposure, blotchy grass left unedited, poor color grading.

- Important moments were completely missed (thankfully our videographer was on the ball the whole night).

The “photo booth” included in our package wasn’t set up until 15 minutes before she left, resulting in zero usable photos of guests and fewer than 30 photos from the last hour of the night.

So in conclusion, I absolutely wish I’d spent the extra $1,000 on a professional who knew what they were doing. Between the poor quality, the lack of professionalism, and the astonishingly childish behavior, hiring Crissy was my biggest wedding-day regrets. I’ll cherish the memories, just not the photos.
