Ashley Sent on 06/22/2024Creative 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! -

Carina Sent on 03/18/2024The 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! -

Lisa Sent on 06/06/2022Wedding 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! -

Bonnie Sent on 03/11/2022Incredible. 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! -

Anne Sent on 08/18/2021Best Vendor Ever.
Seriously, just stop wasting your time looking through photographers and call Chrystina. She was--hands-down--the BEST vendor we had for our wedding (and we had a few incredible vendors). Choosing a photographer is a big decision for your wedding for three main reasons: (1) your photographer will be following you closer than your own shadow throughout the event; (2) your wedding photos will be around forever; and (3) wedding photographers are usually one of the most expensive vendors involved in your wedding. For these reasons, Christina is the woman you want by your side on the day of your wedding. First, she has the perfect personality to calm you down, take charge, direct guests, and make you feel beautiful. I can't recommend her enough. I loved her. My groom loved her. My family, wedding party, and guests loved her. Second, the quality of her photo are OUTSTANDING. We hired her for a relatively short wedding and received almost 1,000 photos. I don't know how she does it but she is everywhere, all at once, and snapping the most incredible mix of both posed and candid shots. Lastly, her services are very reasonably priced and 100% worth every penny. I'd absolutely hire her again and recommend her to any bride or person who is trying to capture life's most important moments. -

Amazing Professional!
Chrystina was phenomenal! Not only was she fun and lighthearted, but she went out of her way to meet with me prior to my big day because I lived out of state and had limited time. Not to mention the changes that took place with COVID. She worked with me and was as flexible as she could have been with me. At our wedding, she was very helpful and made it a point to get everything I had requested on our wedding day. She was extremely professional in all of our interactions and was very easy to talk to and new exactly what I was looking for. The pictures I received from Chrystina were stunning! She did a phenomenal job and I would HIGHLY recommend her expertise! -

The BEST without a doubt!
Because of Chrystina, we have beautiful pictures of our engagement session and wedding. We are so grateful for the service and assistance she and Marlene provided us with at our wedding. They arrived on time and were so helpful with even the small things.
They were very friendly, caring and made the day go by much more smoothly. All they had to do was take photos. Instead, they helped us create the best memories of our lives. Chrystina is the best photographer, she went above and beyond! We have three boys and she made sure to accommodate them and my picky husband. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get married in the area or any occasion. Thanks again for this AMAZING experience but more than anything thanks for making my husband do the things he would NEVER do. -

Courtney Sent on 07/01/2019Favorite Vendor Ever
I’m pretty sure I worked with a good 40ish vendors start to finish with our wedding- Chrystina was my favorite! I knew from the minute we met I’d hire her-she is so genuine and fun to be around-and yet still so professional. The day of the party she was every bit of what I could’ve hoped for -she was there for all the great moments. And then I get her pictures back, and I am blown away by how great they are! Chrystina is great at what she does, and I’m a fan forever! -

Such a blessing
We actually won a mini engagement session in a raffle at our venue. After working with Chrystina and seeing all the photos I can’t believe how blessed we got! She made us feel so comfortable, knew exactly how to pose us and make us laugh and smile to create truly beautiful engagement photos for us. I adore all of the pictures, and am shocked how fast she got them back to us! Literally less than 2 days, like wow. I feel like that does not happen. She’s a true professional & a great photographer! Highly recommend. -

Lauren Sent on 11/26/2018Chrystina Made Our Night
Chrystina absolutely made our night! Not only was she super helpful and structured, she caught some truly cherished moments between my husband and me, as well as candid shots of our family and friends. She really helped my husband and me open up with her (v. camera shy) and get photos that feel unique to us. I would and will absolutely be recommending Straughan Photography to anyone and everyone I can in the future. Thanks again! -
Annette Sent on 10/08/2018Straughan Photography goes above and beyond the call of duty. Chrystina Straughan, Cheyenne, and Priscilla have done a phenomenal job not only at the quality of work in each photo but bringing a level of customer service that will blow you away! This photography company will go above and beyond what it means to be a photography company from acting like a monkey for my 2-year-old niece to smile to being in tune with every moment and without hesitation, every time there was an opportunity to make this wedding better, they stepped up and did what needed to be done even though it wasn’t part of why they were hired. They take pride in their work and it shows. Every emotion, every surprised face, every live action shot on dance floor and even with the ballet folklorico, they captured it all and executed flawlessly. We highly recommend Straughan Photography! We can see why there were awarded The Knot Best of weddings 2012-2018, The Knot Best of Wedding Hall of Fame, Wedding Wire Rated “Bride’s Choice” 2010-2018, just to name a few. They are a very reasonably priced company and have set a standard in the industry.

Kristen Sent on 02/12/2018Chrystina and her team absolutely made my wedding unforgettable! She is so great at capturing moments and making you look GREAT! She first did my sister's wedding 3 years ago and I hired her because I knew I was not only getting the best photographer in the San Antonio area, but a wonderful person to work with! She was so patient with my fiancé and I during our engagement shoot. The best decision I could have made was to book Straughan Photography.
If you are looking for a photographer for any occasion, STOP looking and BOOK her now!! -
