Where do I begin with praise for Christie Pham photography! First off, Christie has such electric, warm and fun energy and is the sweetest soul to work with! Her and her husband make a fabulous duo, such an amazing photography team! From the start, they will have you smiling and make you feel incredibly comfortable while they are taking photos of you. Their photos were beautifully artistic and exceeded our expectations for capturing the most stunning and intimate moments on our wedding day! I cannot thank this company enough for their talents and good vibes! Highly recommend!! read more

If I could give Christie and her husband, Matt, a 100/5 stars on Yelp, I absolutely would. We were extremely lucky to have Christie and Matt on our big day because their artistry is unreal! Their aesthetics and photography style are vividly stunning without taking away from natural beauty. They also take the time to capture details that you don't have time to think about during a big day! Even my husband (who avoids cameras) said he enjoyed taking photos in their presence and guidance during our first meeting for our engagement photoshoot. They truly are a magical team and we are already dreaming about having them as our family photographers! read more

Christie and her husband, Matt are an amazing duo. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is just so fun to be around (IMPORTANT when you're literally spending your whole day with your photographer!). Her husband, Matt, made my camera-shy-husband super comfortable the entire day. Christie knew how to pose us, what looked good (and what didn't), and let us have fun and be ourselves throughout the entire day and night. Our photos are beautiful, vibrant, so full of life, and captured the night so perfectly. They are truly a gift that we'll cherish forever. What a way to relive the most perfect night of our lives. Do yourself a favor and hire Christie as your wedding photographer. She, her talents, and her fun vibes are worth every penny. read more

Christie is truly amazing!! If you are looking for a wedding photographer on O'ahu--book Christie Pham. She has a natural gift of capturing beautiful photos. My husband and I received our wedding sneak peaks while on our honeymoon and we felt like we were reliving our wedding day through the lens of all of our loved ones. All of the sneak peaks looked like they could've been out of a page from Vogue Throughout our wedding day, Christie gave us direction/ prompts on how to pose best without being intrusive, captured wonderful candid shots and she worked so efficiently! She is great at what she does. Her husband Matt was with my husband the entire morning and my husband had nothing but great things to say about Matt as well --they are truly a power couple and were one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Thank you Christie + Matt for capturing our wedding day so beautifully, we can't wait to hang all of the photos in our home and have them to look back on for years to come. read more

Christie is a boss babe. She is the only photographer I wanted for my wedding. We even moved our wedding to when she could do it. I love her candid captures and overall aesthetic. Her and Matt are a wonderful team. Christie truly goes the extra mile, including standing on brick walls in order to capture all the family members. Our sneak peek was already over 165 photos and I can't wait to see the rest. I am in love with each and every photo :) read more

I definitely recommend anyone to hire Christie to photograph for their wedding. I first met Christie at a friend's wedding and got to see how she worked. After seeing how calm and organized she was at directing the couple for first look photos and more photos after they got married, I knew I had to have her photograph my wedding. Christie was very responsive for emails and it was very easy to communicate with her prior to the wedding day. We met only once before the wedding at the wedding site and went over the timeline for the day. On my wedding day, Christie was great. She directed me and my husband to do certain poses that were very natural looking. I didn't even see her at all during the ceremony and reception but the photos were amazing. I'm so happy how the photos turned out. read more

Christie and Matt were phenomenal!!! I was super stressed and nervous and anxious about our wedding day but they made us feel so at ease and were very easy to follow direction. A day for nerves but truly the way Christie cares about what you're looking for and going above and beyond to schedule meetings and ensuring that she hears you of what you want. Day of, the professionalism and kindness and the way she directs you and everyone, takes care to remember the small details - We cannot recommend them ENOUGH. It was such a blessing being able to work with Christie and the sneak peaks that came out so quickly just 1 week after came out so beautiful and I'm so excited for the rest. Highly Highly recommend. i am one to be picky about the look of things and even just in general overall and I would 1000X times over and over recommend and use again. read more

Wedding: 10/4/18 Destination wedding venue: Haiku Gardens, Kaneohe I had found Christie while looking for cake inspiration pictures on Pinterest. A cake picture I came across led me to a site and listed her as the photographer for the wedding. That was kind of it for me. Everything about her and her husband's photography and editing style I instantly loved. It was exactly what I wanted, without knowing that's what I was looking for. I (we) got extremely lucky that she was available 4 weeks away from our wedding date. I had sifted through other potential vendors from time to time, but none of them really stuck out to me. Now that I was a month away I had started to panic a little bit. I actually wasn't going to have photography or videography and was repeatedly told how much we would regret it if we didn't professionally document our wedding. I (we) are so happy that we were able to book with Christie and her husband. Have you ever met someone, and you feel like you could chat with them for hours? That's how I felt when I met Christie the day before our wedding to square away our day of timeline. Like all of her reviewers say, she is so personable, down to earth, and above all else-kind. Upon meeting her I knew instantly it was the right decision. On the day of we both felt like she and her husband Matt made the day run seamlessly, from our early 6:30am start all the way through the afternoon. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, despite the heavy humidity. I'm a big awko-taco when it comes to having a camera in front of me, and they made it all just so easy to do. She took lead right away after the ceremony to get family and wedding party pictures done quickly so that our guests could get up to the restaurant where the air was a bit cooler and drier. On top of all that, she sent us many edited photos for our highlight just a few days after our wedding. We (and everyone) we shared them with loved every one of them. They caught moments of emotion from our family and friends that gave us the feels all over again. We've already been told by our friends that the pictures we were able to share with them made them tear up again because the photo perfectly captured that moment. I didn't even have to mention anything to her, but when I got our highlights and saw some of the photos, it's like she read my mind (I guess that's expected, being the true professional that she is). We picked our venue because of the raw, large beauty the gardens had to offer. The vegetation is enormous, but despite it's size it still gives off a sense of peacefulness and calm. It is a small space that reminds you that we are guests on this beautiful planet. I don't know how she did it, but she managed to capture this exact feeling and more in our photos. Booking with Christie and Matt was one of the best wedding decisions we made. They both vibed with us and our group so well, worked incredibly hard the whole day, and all with a kind smile on their face. You're in the safest of hands and will not be disappointed. read more

Christie and Matt were the photographers for our wedding. I'm beyond impressed with the quality of photos from our special day. Christie is amazing at giving direction to ensure she captures the best shot of you. It felt like we were being photographed by close friends rather than someone we just met a few minutes ago. They are both very kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot. I recommend Christie and Matt to anybody who needs a professional photography session. Thank you both for making our day so special and providing us with memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

The best investment we could have made for our wedding. Christie & Matt are an amazing team! Down to earth, big hearted, & authentic couple! We absolutely adored their company during our wedding day. My husband and I were in search of a photographer and I knew right away that I wanted to have Christie as our photographer. I had been following her on Instagram for a few months & she is by far the best photographer on Oahu (& on planet earth). Our first meeting with her, we felt an instant connection. She had awesome ideas about things she had seen in other people's weddings and also helped us individualize our own wedding. We signed with her right away. Payments were online & easy to make. Wedding day - she made me feel calm and collected even when a storm was brewing in the clouds above us. The groom and groomsmen had an equally great time with Matt. We had a bridal party of 23 and Christie was able to handle us all. Overall, Christie Pham Photography was hands down the best investment we made. read more

Make your wedding plans with less stress by booking Christie Photography. Seriously, planning a wedding is like an animal that needs constant taming and nurturing. With that said, Christie was the first vendor we booked. Out of the 30+ photographers we researched she was the only one that didn't have pictures of brides and grooms jumping up in the air. I wanted pictures that would look timeless. The plus: 1. Matt (her hubby) and Christie make a great team 2. Very accommodating 3. Generous 4. Gave us more than we expected as far as service and professionalism 5. I barely noticed them taking pictures 6. They were able to make us feel comfortable when taking pictures 7. I have a huge family and they were able to get us all in several pictures 8. They know their profession..experts 9. Love the package that the thumb drives comes with The cons: 1. Will wait 10 years to book them again for our 10th anniversary! read more

Christie Pham Photography was the one vendor I knew I HAD to have. I knew it even before I was engaged. All women (and men) go through that phase when it seems like everyone around them - childhood, high school, college friends - are getting married! That's where I was about three years ago. Helping girlfriends with their wedding plans is how I found Christie Pham Photography. I web-browsed from one photographer's blog to the next until I stumbled on Christie's site. That was it. I loved everything about her photos - the mood, the lighting, the gentle/loving moments, the fun/wild moments, the impromptu moments; everything she captured through her lens was perfect in my eyes. I guess that's the secret. You have to find the right photographer for YOU. So when it was my turn, when I got engaged, Christie was the first vendor I booked. Her contact info was easy to find because I had her blog bookmarked for the past few years. I emailed Christie and she got back to me right away with suggested meeting dates and times. We set a date and that was that! We met at a neighborhood coffee shop on a Saturday morning. Christie brought some sample albums for us to browse. I was already convinced but my husband dove into them as Christie and I started chit chatting. One thing led to another and we agreed to work together. The next few months were uneventful besides the usual process of booking a vendor - sending/processing deposit, keeping in touch via email. Christie was always responsive and accommodating. We changed our wedding date twice. Christie was very accommodating. And then it was wedding day! Christie brought her husband and assistant extraordinaire, Matt, to photograph our special day. We greeted each other when they arrived and then...Christie and Matt disappeared. But not in a bad way. They simply blended in to our surroundings and started snapping away, capturing all our special moments. Working with our amazing wedding coordinators from Bash Events, LLC, Christie and Matt kept us on track, getting all the shots. They worked very hard throughout the day, sometimes even bending over backwards (literally) to get the perfect shot. I woke up the next morning with a new last name and a set of gorgeous preview shots from Christie. Yes, she's that good. She had beautiful, edited photos to share within hours! :) The next time we met was a couple months later at our coffee shop, where it all began. Christie delivered hundreds of printed photos from the wedding along with a USB holding all our high-resolution photos. I could hardly swallow the bite of my bagel and mouthful of coffee as I started looking through the photos. Memories of our wedding day came rushing back and I couldn't help but get welled-up. It was a magical feeling. Christie Pham Photography is magic. Book Christie. You will not be disappointed. read more

I hate taking pictures, even though I am a very photogenic guy with a great smile. The whole thing about posing and the art of the perfect place makes me sick. With that said, my wife and I had to choose someone for our engagement photos and wedding because she told me that people do that stuff for something called memories. Met a bunch of people to choose from and picked Christie Pham because she was NORMAL, very straight-up, and had no gimmicks the others where presenting. Plus she was very easy to work with. Engagement photos came on time, actually early and they looked great. WOW!!! I actually enjoyed taking those pictures. Christie made it fun, it was like just hanging out with old friends. Wedding Day came, and she was very professional. She took the right pictures at the right time and places. We recently got our wedding photos, and again WOW!!! She just didn't take our wedding photos, rather captured the special moments and emotions of the whole day and night. For this satisfaction she has given us, I decided to write a very rare review. If you have a decision to make and read this, she is well worth hiring and congratulations on whatever you are celebrating. read more

Christie has such a great eye in taking natural and beautiful pictures!! Christie was vetted by many different hotels and even other photographers! I love her style and am so happy to have her and Matt be our photographers. My now-husband and I are unnatural posers but somehow Christie got us to be comfortable and relaxed. My mother-in-law wanted me to even hire her for our Taiwan wedding after seeing the pictures! Thank you Christie and Matt!!! read more

Choosing a wedding photographer is a difficult task, especially for a destination wedding. After lots of research and time spent browsing online, we decided on Christie (based on her style of photography and all of the excellent reviews.) Of the many decisions made in preparation for our wedding, this was one of our best. Christie and her husband Matt are professionals. They know exactly what to do, and are able to tell you exactly what to do in order to produce the most amazing wedding photographs you can imagine. She doesn't just take pictures, she creates art and shows your wedding through a story of photographs. I would definitely recommend her to any Bride who wants to feel like a star on her wedding day, and any couple who wants the memories captured beautifully. read more

Where do I begin?! Christie is such a sweetheart and is beyond talented! I found her through my boss who had her photograph her wedding a few years ago. Once I decided on Hawaii, I knew I had to work with her. My now husband hates taking photos and I felt like she kept him very relaxed and was able to get some amazing shots of him :) Also, all of my wedding photos instantly take me back to Hawaii and my big day. Christie has a special talent for capturing the emotion and the realness of each moment!! While she was there with us on our big day, I felt like her and her husband were guests because they did such a great job of mixing in around the crowd. Our family and friends loved them!! Now I need about 5 more walls in my house to decorate with all of Christie's amazing photographs, which look like fine art! :) read more

We recently got married in March 2011 at the Ihilani and used Christie's services. Choosing a photographer was one of the harder decisions to make during the whole wedding planning process, because there are toooo many talented photographers on Oahu. So after interviewing some peeps, how did we arrive at Christie Pham do you ask? Simply put, she was the most normal, nicest, and down to earth person out of them all. We also found her prices to be VERY GOOD compared to many others, but in the end, since everybody has skills, it came down to who's personality we liked the most and felt the most at ease with. Afterall, the photographer is probably one of the most important vendors you will hire and you will probably be spending more time with them then any other vendor. We just got our pictures back and they turned out beautifully! We couldn't be happier with how they all turned out. She has an amazing eye and was able to capture all the beauty, the laughs, and the love on our day. Christie is a super sweet and caring professional that I would definitely recommend. read more

Where do I even start?! We loved loved loved Christie and her husband Matt! The caliber of her work is unparalleled. Not to mention, what an absolutely sweet person she is. She is so personable and has this aura about her that makes you feel completely comfortable/beautiful in your own skin. My husband and I just had our destination wedding last Saturday at Moana Surfrider and the whole journey up to that point she was accommodating and understanding. We're from California and although we ended up coming here for our engagement shoot, she offered to meet us in LA during one of her many trips out to the mainland. Her flexibility was invaluable to us. Speaking on behalf of being the bride, she knows exactly how to make you feel like the princess you had always imagined feeling on your wedding day and knows just how to put you at ease and remind you to have fun with her encouraging comments and great direction. We can't wait to see the final work of our wedding day photos. Beyond honored to have had Christie Pham capture the best day of our lives! Mahalo Christie and Matt!! read more

My partner Paul and I were married last week and Christie was our photographer. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Professional, kind, and just a fantastic photographer. We love every moment that she captured on film. Love her work! read more

I first met Christie and Matt (her husband and partner in crime) at the Wedding expo and as soon as I looked at her first album, i KNEW that she was the one I was going to pick as our photographer. We LOVED her relaxed, natural, photojournalistic style. She has an amazing eye for that vintage feel that my husband and I really wanted. The meet and greet was such a pleasant experience and it was such a departure from the other photographers we met. It was like talking to an old friend over coffee! We booked her on the spot. She photographed our welcome dinner at Waimea Valley and our wedding at Turtle Bay this past March and the pictures are stunning! She and Matt were so fun to work with and we're definitely planning on using them again in the future! Thanks again Christie! read more

Christie did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She was everything I wanted and MORE! When planning out wedding, we both decided that the photos are on the list of priorities. This is the only thing I have from our big day and this is the only way we could preserve our special moment. Christie was very easy to work with and is very nice. She's not bossy like other photographers I've worked with in the past on a professional level. Her photo style is exactly what we were looking and she delivered on everything we asked for. I also want to call out that we've gotten so many compliments from our wedding photos from our friends and family too. read more

Christie is a truly gifted photographer. We booked her for our April wedding and our photos were everything we were hoping for. Not only is she polite and professional, but extremely easy to work with and very down to earth. After seeing her photos and per her suggestion, I bought myself a Nikon D-90 in hopes my own pictures will be as amazing as hers...Christie Pham rocks! read more

Christie was so sweet. She went above and beyond making our shoot extra special. She spent extra time with us, was warm, friendly and awesome! She even payed for our parking. We haven't seen our photos yet, but we're not worried. All of her work is stellar. read more

I absolutely love Christie. I am tremendously awkward and hate taking pictures, but she is so nice and gives great direction, which really makes the process so easy (and even fun). And her pictures are GORGEOUS. I recommend Christie 100%. read more

Christie is such an AMAZING photographer and she will make your wedding day the sparkling memory that it should be. Another review said that her photos look like a magazine layout, well the photos she took of my wedding actually made it in a magazine!!! She submitted our photos to Hawaii Bride & Groom and they selected them and did a story about my husband and I! I can't say enough about how sweet, thoughtful and passionate she is about making your photos special and beautiful. Her prices are great too and I did a lot of shopping around. When my friend got engaged, the first thing she did was call me and ask who I used for my wedding and Christie was the 1st vendor she booked! You will love her and her work too!! read more

I love christie pham with my whole heart! ! She is so awesome great all around person! ! We had our engagement pictures taken with her and they came out amazing I definitely recommend her! She had her husband assisting her and they work amazing together! ! Can't wait till the wedding I know the pictures will be amazing also !! read more

We fell in love with Christie from the moment we first met her a year before our wedding. Her portfolio wow-ed us, of course, but what really confirmed it for us was Christie's personality. She was so down to earth, friendly and easy to talk to -- she definitely was someone we wanted to have by our side on our wedding day. She's super professional, yet so personable at the same time. On the wedding day itself, Christie and her husband Matt were so fabulous to work with. They gave us the easiest directions to follow and we felt like we were in safe hands. We never had to worry - we knew that Christie was on top of everything, like all the detail shots and following the timeline of the day. Coordinator aside, you could tell that she could command the day (in a good way) and as a result of being so organized and on top of things, you know that you're gonna get a good set of photos because nothing was rushed or missed out on. Christie goes above and beyond and it just felt so natural with her throughout the entire process. We received some preview photos from Christie shortly after our wedding and we were blown away. Skills and professionalism aside, we just loved Christie and Matt for how they made us feel on the day - safe and taken care of. Thank you so much, Christie and Matt! read more

Christie just finished our wedding, all I can say is, she is AMAZING!

Christie Pham is hands down the best photographer in Hawaii (and California!). We are in LOVE with our wedding pictures from her, every single photo is magazine worthy and we have gotten SO many compliments from friends and family on how amazing the pictures turned out. I cannot say enough good things about Christie and as you can see from all her other raving reviews (and awards) she is greatly loved by everyone who works with her. Christie has an amazing "eye", it is a talent that cannot be taught, and she and her husband Matt were both born with it. They know how to capture every moment, feeling, detail and expertly tell a story through their lens (and make you look good in the process too!). Christie and Matt are an exceptional team and just genuinely nice people who make you feel comfortable which is in my mind a critical part to being a great photographer. Christie is also very fast and she never misses a moment, I feel like every single part of our wedding was captured and preserved thanks to her amazing skills. If you're looking for a photographer and trying to decide between a few, hire Christie, you will not be disappointed and it will be one of the best decisions you make for your special day :) read more

Hiring Christie and her husband Matt as our photographers for our big day was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Since we were planning our small outdoor wedding at Oahu's Kualoa Ranch remotely from California, we searched online for local photographers with familiarity with our venue that exhibited skills in capturing both the wedding and the beautiful surroundings. We also knew we weren't going to hire a videographer, so we wanted a photographer with a journalistic style that would not miss all the special moments of the day. After reviewing Christie's portfolio online and speaking with her over Skype, it was very clear to us that she encompassed all of these qualities. On the day, Christie and Matt made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through the shots with ease. These guys are pros and it's not hard to see why. Her knowledge of the venue was a real asset since she was able to get photos of us in many different locations throughout the venue, including one "secret" spot that was the backdrop of our favorite photos from the day. Christie, only a few days after the wedding, sent us over 100 photos highlighting different parts of the day. This allowed us to share these photos immediately with family and friends and we were all blown away with how amazing the photos were. We honestly would have been happy with just the "highlight" photos, but we were so thrilled to receive the full set of photos that included even more incredible shots only two months after the wedding. These are photos we will cherish and share for the rest of our lives and we highly recommend Christie Pham Photography. read more

christie photographed our wedding in november. she is AMAZING. i feel like katie holmes talking about tom cruise here. i'll probably call her amazing 50 more times in this review. she made my husband and i feel extremely comfortable, not to mention, man.. do we look GOOD. i hate pictures where you look stiff and awkwardly posed. but here.. it just looks so natural, yet so good. it honestly feels like a magazine layout. she's also top notch at service. always making sure you're comfortable, never making you feel rushed, and all the while making sure she gets everything that you want. and turnaround time? she got my pictures back to me in no time at all (during the holidays no less). i highly recommend her. she's absolutely AMAZING! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Christie and her Husband. She is the sweetest person on earth, and on top of that she is CRAZY talented. You will not regret using her. If you are looking for beautiful, contemporary, and original wedding photos, Christie is your girl. Her photos are unbelievable, she is professional, accommodating, and so much more. My now husband isn't a big fan of posing for photos.... in fact he HATES photos and I warned Christie about that ahead of time. She did such a great job working with him and keeping our pictures fun and natural. We just received our online gallery and I am blown away by how perfectly she captured our day. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!!! read more

When my husband and I began planning our wedding, my first priority was to hire a good wedding photographer. I had seen Christie Pham's photos from a friend's wedding and through her website, and I fell in love with her photojournalist style and with her ability to capture even the small, fleeting moments (which often become the most cherished memories). I met with Christie and instantly felt comfortable with her, as if we were old friends catching up and excitedly planning my wedding. To me, this is an important quality in a photographer, who is there to capture the most important moments of your wedding. Being able to openly communicate is key. This was also an important quality for my husband, who felt uneasy about being photographed. She knew exactly how to get amazing shots while making us feel at ease--my husband ended up having a blast since taking pictures with Christie and Matt felt like we were all hanging out with good friends. We give Christie our highest reviews and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She is professional and knows what she is doing. She produces the most beautiful, personal photos, and is the easiest, nicest, funnest person to work with. She was always flexible and easygoing, especially when our wedding logistics didn't go as planned. Leading up to the wedding, she was also very responsive to my questions, and even helped me find other wedding vendors to hire. We're so grateful to Christie and Matt for giving us the most special photos and for being a part of our day. You guys are the absolute best! read more

Christie Pham is an amazing photographer. We used Christie for our wedding in Oahu and the pictures could not have turned out more beautiful. It was also a pleasure working with both her and her husband Matt. She and Matt have a wonderful and personal approach to wedding pictures. Christie photographed Erlyn getting ready and Matt photographed me getting ready with my brother / best man which was a really easy going experience. They then proceeded to photograph our families, first look, ceremony and reception. Within 24 hours, they already had pictures for us to share. I highly recommend them to capture special events in your life. Not only did we get wonderful compliments from our wedding guests about how awesome Christie and Matt were over the course of the evening, but I have gotten so many positive reactions and exclamations about the quality of the Christie's pictures from friends and family after they saw the final product. read more

I had the pleasure of having Christie Pham as my wedding photographer for my March 28, 2009 wedding. I feel so lucky to have been able to book her. All I can tell other potential brides out there is SHE IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!! Pictures are so very important and after searching, interviewing, and looking at pictures of other photographers - their was no comparison. Christie went ABOVE AND BEYOND all of my expectations, and I consider myself a very hard grader. She was so friendly, kind, generous, artistic, and most importantly PROFESSIONAL. She took so many amazing images that I can't even begin to pick a favorite. We also took our engagement pictures with her and still are in awe by her talent. She was all about the bride and every one of my friends who have seen our photos have said " I wish mine were that good'! What else could I ask for? She even made us a slideshow of our wedding while we were waiting for our pictures so that we could get an idea of what was to come: http://christiephanphotography.myshowit.com/kelly_stephen/index.html She by far was the most hassle free part of my wedding, captured priceless memories, and I will now be her biggest fan for life. : ) I wanted to also add a link to her blog so that you could see for yourself how amazing she really is http://christiephamphotography.blogspot.com/ read more

Christie and Matt are amazing photographers, and special people as well. We hired them for our wedding at the Moana Surfrider in March 2017, and then found out they would be travelling through London (where we live) a few months before. We met up in London and spent some time together, and then got to do an engagement shoot ahead of the wedding! My husband was quite nervous for the whole "photo shoot" aspect of the wedding, and Christie and Matt made him feel so comfortable - they are an incredible couple. At our wedding, in Oahu I really didn't want anything too staged - I felt nervous about having to "perform" and not be in the moment. Christie listened to everything I wanted, and she was always quietly in the corner, snapping amazing pics. We just received our pictures back, and there were moments I didn't even know she was there for! Her and Matt just kind of slid into the background and captured the emotion of everything, as if they were guests at the wedding. They really got all of the joy, emotion, excitement, nerves, all of it - in a simple candid shot. At our wedding, during the scheduled bride/groom pictures we had a lot of rain. In addition, I became quite emotionally overwhelmed with the fact that I'd just gotten married - and I had to shorten the photography portion, just to have some time with my new husband. Christie and Matt slipped into the background, and when I turned around they had left us with drinks! I found out later she had taken some beautiful, candid pictures of us from a distance. At one point Christie started fanning me when I was too hot, and even shielded me from the rain! They will feel like part of your guests, and you'll be sorry to say goodbye! I cannot say enough good thing. Hire Christie and Matt - you will be so happy you did! read more
