Hi!
I am Christal, An animal lover, Mom, Mimi and wife. Proud Dog mom of 2 Husky mix rescues, That I adore, most of the time. I am tattooed, driven and have a smart mouth. But not in a rude way, just in an awkward way. Which may be worse…… With over 20 years of experience in all levels of photography I love being creative and go “Old School’ with film when working on my personal projects.
If hanging out with a quirky, strong willed photographic artist on your wedding day is appealing, I am your Girl. Remember you will be spending your entire day with your photographer, so you better at least do a phone or video call to decide if it’s a good fit.
my goal is to get to know you and your story, help you to relax and guide you to create beautiful, authentic photos for you. its 60% you and 40% me, meaning, the more I know you the more authentic the experience and the outcome will be. Take the next step, reach out and we can get to know each other. I think I might surprise you!
Be adventurous, be bold… Let’s create the wedding photos you’ve always dreamed of.

We can't thank you enough for everything that you did to make our special day successful. You should be proud of your venue that is so beautiful and perfect. It offers a small unique feeling that is truly a gem. Something that I loved about your venue is the fact that it could be all inclusive and that you offer different "packages" of things you can add or decline, such as the bridal suite. Having everything all inclusive made it so stress free. You were willing to meet with us anytime we wanted to review details, which was much appreciated. Your venue is very fair priced and definitely had the most bag for your buck compared to other wedding venues. Our families are still commenting on how beautiful the venue was and all of the attention to details. All of your recommendations for your "wedding specialists" (food, hair/makeup, bartender, officiant) that you've worked with were all professional and excellent. As for your photography, you nailed it. The photos look incredible and they came back in a timely manner. I don't think there's anything that you could have done that would have made the day go any smoother. We will definitely be recommending you and your venue to anyone we know!!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was what we thought would be one of the most difficult parts of wedding planning, but Christal made it so easy! She took the time talk with us and go through every little detail we wanted to captured. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. On the day of, Christal and her assistant arrived on location early and with big smiles after a 4 hour drive!! They were both so easy and so much fun to work with. The two of them are truly what made posing outside on a cold day comfortable and worth it! Her turnaround time was incredible and we are still in awe at the all of the photos we received back. They are everything we wanted and more. Thank you for capturing our most special moments that we will look back on forever!
