Talented Photographer with amazing attention to detail.
We met Christina at Hermann Hill Weddings during one of their Wedding Trail Events. Instantly we loved her energy and her fun personality. Her attention to detail is remarkable and was able to capture the love and passion that we have for each other in photos. If you are wanting to look back on your special and still feel the emotions of that day, I highly recommend Charisma Photography to capture all your special moments. -

Charisma is the best!
Christina was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding. I was incredibly hesitant when it came to finding a photographer, as my husband and I can be awkward in front of the camera. I knew we would need direction when it came to posing and getting the best shots. Christina was fantastic! We did book a little late so we didn’t get a chance to do the customary engagement shoot, but that didn’t impact our ability to work together on our wedding day. In the days leading up to the wedding she kept in touch, asked for ideas we had, etc. She asked that we make a list of the Must Have photos and the names of the people that were to be in them (MOB w/ Bride; Bride & Grandparents, etc.) This was a HUGE help, as she was able to call out names of who needed to be in the next photo. It made the family portraits a breeze. We also worked together to create a timeline for the day, to ensure her hours with us would cover all of the important moments. She also reminded us to bring copies invitations, etc. to include in detail photos — which I definitely would’ve forgotten. I also appreciate that she brought her own nice hanger to use in the photos of my dress! We got married at a venue she had not been to in many years, but you couldn’t tell. She scoped out the site, did her research, and knew the places we should go for the best photos. I am absolutely in LOVE with my photos. They turned out so well and her artistic edits are great. She caught moments I missed as the day whirled around me, so I’m glad to have those pictures as well. I 100% recommend working with Christina. You won’t regret it! -

10/10 experience and product
Everything about our experience with Christina was perfect. She was professional throughout the entire process and made everything so easy for us. She was recommended to us by many friends and I'm so glad we ended up going with her! Her and Chris were amazing throughout the entire day and the final photos were everything I had hoped for. I can't thank them enough. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! -

Great Experience and Great Photos
Charisma Photography was great to work with. We had so much with doing engagement photos and wedding photos with her! She takes time to come up with creative poses and does a great job editing. She is easy to get in contact with and worked with us when we had to change our plans due to COVID. I highly recommend Charisma Photography! -

She knows what she is doing
Words cannot describe the magic that Christina and Chris were able to capture through my engagement and wedding! Christina worked with us through scheduling issues, was able to make a freezing cold engagment shoot easy and fun while keeping it short ;). The memories she was able to capture for me from the wedding are beyond what I could've hoped for! I can quit looking at them and plan to print them all! So many candid of family and friend in their utmost finest moment that I will cherish for a life time. I cannot thank these two enough and cannot wait to have them capture my families future moments. -

Amazing and fun!!
Hands down the best photographer. Christina did an awesome job with our engagement photos and even a better job with our wedding. And i can't forget her husband, Chris, who was also awesome to work with. Made these photos forever. It even made it better when we got our furbaby, Bear (dog), involved with our engagement photos. Would definitely use again in the future. -

Beautiful Images and Easy to work with!
Christina and Chris are truly the dream team. They were so fun to work with and made us feel so comfortable. Sometimes it can be awkward getting your photos taken (something I didn't think about before) and I was so thankful that Christina made us feel natural. She is quick to help with posing and we never stood there with no ideas on what to do. Not to mention, the photos turned out AMAZING. I've literally looked through them a million times and I feel that her style is truly timeless. It is fun to have "trendy" photos taken, but I know that I will look back on these and I won't be like, what was I thinking?! haha. I couldn't reccommend her more and look forward to maternity and family photos with her in the future! -

Above and Beyond!
Charisma did an outstanding job for our June 2019 wedding! From the very beginning we knew Christina was right for the job. We met with her prior to signing the contract, and she was sure to go over every single detail and answered any question we had. After signing the contract, we picked a day for engagement pictures and Christina offered multiple different locations of great spots to take photos. It was so much fun getting to know her during our session and we enjoyed those couple hours! The turn around time for receiving our engagement photos was extremely quick and they turned out great! Once it got closer to the big day we met another time and hashed out all the details for the day of. We went to the venue and she mapped out places to take pictures and then we made a very detailed list of what photos to take and who would be in them. Christina brought this same list the day of the wedding and would check off each photo after we took it. I loved this because it ensured we got all the pictures we wanted and everything was so much more organized! Chris and Christina were a great team and literally captured every minute of our big day. They were so much fun to work with and we couldn't have been happier. The photos turned out amazing and have received so many compliments from friends and family! I also want to mention that the gallery Christina uses to upload pictures is very user friendly and so easy to share! We are so thankful for Chris and Christina and could not be happier with how well our pictures turned out. Documenting our big day was extremely important to us and they did not disappoint! -

Friendly and great photos!
Christina and her husband are such a great team to work with! She is so easy to talk to, it was like talking to a friend after just meeting. The day of our engagement photos there was a huge storm that came through, even tornado sirens were going off, but we waited it out and ended up taking great photos! Minus a little humidity, I thought the rain and puddles added some extra character to our photos. On our wedding day, she was amazing! She worked well with our videographer and treated everyone so with kindness. She knew our venue, so she already had the best spots picked out for photos which made things go so smoothly. She has such a great eye and creates amazing work! Thank you so much for being a part of our big day and capturing it so beautifully!-

We are so happy we chose Christina and Charisma Photo for our wedding. Christina was very easy to work with and communicate with throughout the entire planning process. She did a great job making us feel as comfortable as possible for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. It rained before our ceremony but you can’t tell in any of the photos. She was a champion with capturing all of the family photos I requested after the ceremony and making sure to get good candids throughout the day. Having her second shooter was great for getting another angle of the action. We had our first teaser within a week of the wedding and almost every week after we received more edited photos. The USB with the high-resolution images came in a nice wooden box that will be great for storing prints. We couldn’t be happier! -

After much deliberation and research, we decided to go with Charisma Photography for our wedding in August of 2018. We started out with engagement pictures in the fall of 2017, which gave us a good chance to meet Christina and her husband. We knew after that session that she would be great keeping everything in order and on track for our large family and wedding party. On the wedding day, Christina was amazing. She took charge and was able to capture every photo we could dream of. She was also down to earth, worked well with our videographers, and respectful of our family and friends. The lighting and quality is great, and we have so many pictures to choose from when it comes to sharing on social media and developing for albums and our home. As a planner/detailed oriented person myself, Christina made me feel at ease throughout the whole process that she had everything under control. She also remained organized and responsive, and was very timely in getting us our completed images. I recommend Christina and Charisma to anyone looking for professional photography for their wedding or other events, and would use her again in the future in a heartbeat! -

Wow! Christina is so talented and professional! She was such a joy to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. She has a way of capturing the moment without necessarily noticing that she's even there! She is down to earth, yet very passionate and artistic in her photography! Her and her husband work as a well oiled machine and capture the variety of moments of the day. Hands down amazing! We will treasure her work in our family forever!-

Christina and Chris Ahlheim at Charisma Photography were fantastic! I would highly recommend them to anyone commemorating a special event in their life. We hired Charisma to photograph our wedding (and they threw in a free engagement session), and we couldn't be happier. Christina and Chris strive to make their clients happy and comfortable with the process. They worked with us throughout the whole process from engagement to wedding day, were flexible when our plans and tastes changed, and communicated frequently and responded to our questions quickly. They gave us great tips and advice for what to expect on the big day, and they take GORGEOUS photos! I can't thank Christina and Chris enough, and I recommend them to everyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you! -

Christina and Chris were fantastic to work with from day 1. Christina was extremely responsive to emails - from asking about pricing to sending updates during the finishing touches of our wedding photos. Chris and Christina were the best. I can’t imagine having anyone else around for our wedding day. We will definitely be using them for all of our major life milestones to come! -

My husband and I knew after meeting Christina and seeing her work that we would be booking her for our wedding! With the pressure of the big day on our shoulders Christina made sure that we never felt rushed while she was photographing us. The work she did for us was wonderful! We cannot thank her enough for all the time and effort she put into making our wedding day one to remember for the rest of our lives! -

I cannot say enough good things about Chrisma photography. VERY PROFESSIONAL! Quick response to my inquiry; met twice before the big day to get to know my now husband and me. We created a plan for the wedding day that was followed flawlessly.
During the ceremony, they were very discrete and respectful, which was very important to us.
After the ceremony we had a very short window to do pictures, Christina kept things moving at a fast pace and was in control of the inattentive crowd she had to photograph.
Christina’s use of light is impressive. The pictures turned out looking like something out of a magazine, we could hardly believe the pictures were ours - with us looking great and the background amazing.
After the wedding she had edited our pictures in less than a month! We got a flash disk with all our pictures on it to print and do whatever we wanted with. She made picking up the disk easy.
Overall, she was very professional, respectful, commanded control during the necessary time, yet easy to be around, fast with finishing after the fact.
I would recommend Chrisma without any hesitation. They are top notch! -

Meet with Christina with Charisma Photography just once and become hooked instantly. She is truly talented and has an eye for photography. From the coordination meetings, to the engagement session, to the big day, Christina was a pleasure to work with. Chris, the second photographer, (who happens to be her husband) helped take excellent photos from different angles. I can't help but smile (and occasionally tear up) whenever I look through my beautiful collection of photos. Thank you so much for everything! -

My husband and I used Christina at Charisma Photography for our engagement photos and for our wedding day. She honestly made the day perfect by her fun and caring nature to her professional attention to detail. She met with us before each session to get a feel for our vision and plan out the details. She always had wonderful ideas while still capturing the best moments of our day. Christina is extremely talented and made our wedding day a beautiful story in images that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We couldn't have been happier with our choice in Charisma Photography! We both agree it was the best wedding planning decision we made! Thank you, Christina! You are amazing!! -

I absolutely loved all of our photographs that Christina and her husband took on our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure we got every picture we were wanting. She was well organized and had the best advice on how to plan our whole wedding day efficiently. She made us feel comfortable the entire time and gave great direction so we ended up with so many fun shots. Everyone has been so impressed with how our pictures turned out and I will cherish them forever. I highly recommend Charisma photography for all your photography needs. We will definitely be using them again in the future! -

Absolutely loved the way our wedding pictures turned out. They were able to capture every special moment for my husband and I to look back on and remember! She always stayed in contact in the days leading up to the wedding so everything was very organized the day of. Couldn't have asked for a better day or better pictures to remember it by.
Thank you! -

Christina is AMAZING. I met her at a wedding that I was a bridesmaid for with a wedding party of over 20 and she managed everything flawlessly. There was no question in my mind who I was going to use for my own wedding. She put us both at ease during the engagement session and all day. I knew I could count on her to be wherever I needed and to get the shots I would want. She has been so helpful since helping me figure out a wedding album. I just cannot tell you how many compliments we have gotten on just the photography of the wedding. She is amazing! -

Christina Alheim of Charisma Photography is an absolutely wonderful photographer. Our engagement photos were absolutely wonderful and many people told us that they were some of the best they have seen. We have only seen five of our wedding photos so far, but the ones we have seen honestly made my jaw drop. They were incredibly beautiful and I could not be happier.
In addition to taking beautiful pictures, Christina is also incredibly easy to work with. She is very sweet, professional and truly wants to make your pictures unique to you.
I would highly recommend her to anyone. -

Christina and her team at Charisma Photo are amazing! They did such a great job on my wedding day on 12.31.12. They were early, took all the photos I wanted, and were easy to work with the entire day. My photos were so beautiful, perfect, and I get so many compliments on them! Anyone would be lucky to have her as their photographer. -
