    Picture Perfect Professional

    Christina was contracted to be the sole photographer for a wedding I planned in mid-December. My bride said that in addition to really being attracted to Christina's portfolio of work, she was really impressed with how Christina took the time to really speak to her regarding her vision for her special day. This impeccable communication did not stop after she was hired, Christina made sure to be in constant communication with my bride and later me throughout the months leading up to the wedding. Before the wedding, the bride and I constructed a "must have" list o pictures that she desired and Christina was more than happy to oblige my bride's wishes, despite having a limited amount of time to shoot them after the close of the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour. On the day of the wedding, Christina had to first film the bride at the location she was getting ready at and then travel over to the wedding venue for the ceremony. Christina effortlessly transitioned to each location paying special attention to the small personalized details, the special nuances and the unforgettable interactions that took place before, during and after the bride and groom took their vows. Christina was very mindful of her position when she filmed the ceremony. While always being in the right spot to capture the special moments, she was extremely cognizant of not being a distraction to the procession of the ceremony itself. The same could be said for the reception, where Christina's presence was hardly felt as she bobbed and weaved her way through the various ceremonial milestones throughout the night making sure not to miss a thing. For her turnaround on the return of the pictures, Christina was true to her word and contract and issued my bride her photographs in the time that she had aforementioned. To say that my bride was pleased with the results is an understatement. Christina is a true talent, a superb communicator and a pleasant person to work with. I give her my most heart-felt recommendation to couple's seeking a professional wedding photographer and since our exchange, I have happily added her to my list of preferred vendors.

    The BEST photographer in NC!

    I was blown away by the amazing service we were given from start to finish and even after our special day! Christina worked with us day in and day out to make our day the best! Having a wedding during a global pandemic was stressful to say the least . It involved multiple changing of dates, constant changing of details for the special day, and so much more. Oh and it decided to pour the day of our wedding so last minute ordering of tents as well! But throughout this whole entire experience Christina was there for us even for the pieces that had nothing to do with photography, she was always there to make us feel at ease ! And the pictures .... OH MY GOSH! We have already had multiple canvases made for our home and our family members ! The pictures were absolutely amazing! Multiple friends and family members swore the bridal portraits she took looked like they could be in a magazine ! And they were so very natural! If you are in the North Carolina Area you would be making a HUGE mistake not to chose Capture the Journey Photography!

    Oh my goodness Justice. I'm in tears reading this. My HEART IS FULL! I'm so thankful to be recognized for my love, and compassion. Especially for you to feel that I set the tone at ease then to have produced what you want. Makes me feel so humbled, and Grateful! Many Blessings to you , and your Family. I can't thank you enough!

    Always,
    Christina

    Captured Every Magical Moment

    I cannot say enough wonderful things regarding Christina because no matter what I write it will not do her justice. She was the sweetest, kindest woman who made everyone very comfortable whilst keeping them in line as well. We had some awkward down time that she was able to get creative with, we had a few people using their phones to take pictures and she took the initiative to tell them to put their phones away so my wedding photos weren't filled with peoples cellphones. After we received our pictures, super quickly I should add, I couldn't believe all the angles and points of view she was able to capture. If I hadn't known any better I would have thought she had brought someone with her. She was open to my suggestions and input and took every request into consideration during our wedding. She was amazing and I am so glad she was able to photograph our special day.

    Stephene,
    This does my heart so good to read. When you've got a connection, you know. I felt like we had that right away. I'm passionate about what I do and receiving reviews like this that are so detailed in how hard I strive. To be recognized. I'm just so very thankful! Thank you so very kindly!

    Many Blessings you Two!
    Christina

    Christina, captured images so genuine and unique, I can't even begin to describe in this review. If you want artistic, romantic, unforgettable images of your wedding day, please contact her. The photos that she took of my family on that day I will treasure always. She was very professional and she arrived early to the event. Communication was fast and the photos are ethereal. I could not be more satisfied and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to capture the best of their wedding day.

    Capture the Journey Photography's reply:

    Such beautiful words Amy! I'm so glad you were happy with your experience with me on such an important day. All the blessings to you, and yours. I can't thank you enough for such amazing words spoken. I do love what I do so passion ly.

    Christina is an absolute DREAM to work with. She is a fantastic listener, first of all, which means the world at a time as stressful as wedding planning. She has an eye for detail that is unmatched, and her creative touches really make every single picture absolutely perfect! 100% recommend Capture the Journey for every picture whim, and will continue using Capture the Journey throughout my own journeys in the future.

    Amazing photographer!

    Chrissy was exceptional! From the engagement shoot to the wedding day she was spot on with the positioning and all! The love and passion is evident when she is behind the lens. I highly recommend Capture the Journey photography for your wedding day or and photography session. She is eager to learn your style and works with it! I will forever hold these pictures close to my heart.

    Christina made one of the most exciting times in my life memorable by capturing photos of my wedding that most photographers wouldn’t have an eye for. She has an uncanny ability to put you at ease and captures moments that you didn’t even realize she was getting! She is extremely professional, and extremely likeable and caring. She makes any important moments stand still to be cherished for ever! I recommend her for any type of photo shoot you are thinking about booking!

    We hired Christina to capture our journey to the alter! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding. We held our engagement shoot on my husbands family farm, which is a place we hold very near and dear to our hearts. On the day of our engagement shoot it was raining, cloudy and dark. Most photographers prefer "The Golden Hour" for shooting and I honestly panicked a little bit when I realized the clouds wouldn't be moving out any time soon. Christina must have read my mind because my phone rang a few hours before the shoot and her exact words were, "Let me tell you why this weather is so perfect for today." I knew that we picked the best person to work with. We ended up with not only beautiful engagement photos but she captured the essence of the farm so perfectly it brought tears to our eyes. We are so thankful to have these photos to hand down for generations to come.

    Once we saw those photos we knew we HAD to have her for the wedding. As some weddings can be, it was a bit stressful. Christina was not only patient with us (mainly me), but she was also very calming. Our bridal party and guests also thoroughly enjoyed her presence and shooting with her. She has a very unique style and her photos aren't just beautiful but they speak to you. We will continue to use her and continue to recommend her not just for weddings, but any photoshoot your heart desires. Thanks again Christina!!

    WOW Brittany! What a thoughtful. So beautiful review. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such intimate details. I remember all those moments as if it was yesterday. Connected from the start. You're a Rare Gem!

    Thank you SO Much!
