CRYSTAL IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE HAPPY WITH MY WEDDING PHOTOS AND MY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR YOUR WEDDING OR ANY OTHER EVENT. SHE’S VERY CREATIVE AND HAS AN AMAZING SKILL FOR CAPTURING EXPRESSIONS.

WE HAVE OFFICIALLY DETERMINED THAT THE PICTURES FROM OUR WEDDING DAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT ALL. THE PHOTOS ARE WHAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME AND YOU CAN TRUST CRYSTAL TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! OUR PICTURES WERE BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED.

She has some kind of MAGIC ABILITY

GRETCHEN & MICHAEL
Married at Lost Lake Resort

CRYSTAL CAPTURED MORE ABOUT OUR DAY THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED POSSIBLE. HER GENTLE SUGGESTIONS WERE BEYOND HELPFUL AND SHE HAS SOME KIND OF MAGIC ABILITY TO BE PRACTICALLY INVISIBLE AND YET PRESENT IN 5 PLACES AT THE SAME TIME! THE COLORS AND EMOTIONS SHE SEES AND PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF OUR WEDDING DAY.

My fiancé absolutely LOVED her low key style

B & R
Married at a private residence

Crystal, was the utmost professional. Not only did she arrange for a last minute wedding, she arrived prepared, had thought of every last detail, took shots and made recommendations that I never knew I needed. That is why she IS THE expert. We couldn't have been happier with the package and services, her crisp communications, her ability to seamlessly integrate with our family in a very intimate private residential wedding during Covid. She fit right in. My fiancé absolutely LOVED her low key style which helped two very non-photogenic people end up with some GREAT shots. As someone who works at a Fortune100 in sales and values the customer experience, Crystal is the epitome of Customer centric and we genuinely will forever appreciate and value her role in our "forever and finally" wedding. She is a keeper and has an eye for catching the special unique photos that any family or couple will love and cherish for years to come.

Crystal is a true gem!

Engagement Photos at Cathedral Park

Crystal is a true gem! She’s extremely personable, responsive and easy to work with! My fiancé and I were nervous before our engagement shoot, but Crystal quickly helped break the ice and delivered some incredible shots! I’m so happy we found Crystal!!

She was so easy to work with from
start to finish.

Cheryl & Nate
Married at Cooper Spur Mountain Resort

We had the chance to work with Crystal last summer for our wedding. When I sent her my very first email, she responded so quickly. Everything went smooth from there. She made accommodations and suggestions that were nothing but great. She was so easy to work with from start to finish. Our pre-wedding and wedding photos turned out amazing. And to think, I don’t really like looking at myself in pictures. The days leading up to the wedding, she was in constant contact with us to ensure everything will go smoothly on the day of. And the last minute changes didn’t bother her at all. I have recommended Crystal and will continue to recommend her do the great work that she does.

I can only call her Ninja Photographer.

Nikole & Matthew
Married at Deepwood Museum

I don't know where to begin. Crystal is a wonderful photographer and person. She is professional, yet so personal! Once you finish your engagement session, she already feels like a friend. She's able to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and her direction is easy to follow. That is for all the portrait photos and engagement session. As of the day of the wedding, I can only call her Ninja Photographer. She got many candid shots and we didn't even know she was there. I don't know how she was in so many places at once. All the pictures she took were edited and ready for us faster than I thought they would be.  She obviously loves what she does and it shows.
