Crystal is amazing! Honestly, the beauty and quality of her photography are only one part of having her as your photographer. She became a member of our bridal party and because she does so many weddings, she knew the questions to ask that I wasn't asking. This helped make sure that everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. She doesn't limit herself to only worrying about your photography. Her true and prime goal is to capture your special day just as you want it. She asks questions all geared toward helping her capture our wedding day in the style we wanted. She included an engagement session to help us get comfortable in front of the camera. This was so helpful because neither of us LOVE having our photos taken. It put us more at ease with ourselves and her on our wedding day. As far as her photography--all of our friends have been commenting on her work. The most common comment is: I can see why you've raved about your photographer! She handled both of our families and outspoken bridal party with ease. She is AMAZING and by booking her you get more than just a photographer. Look at her website and you'll see that the time and energy she puts into her business extends to every single one of her photo shoots. read more

I was refered by a work friend to give Crystal a call about using her as my wedding photogrpaher. She called me right back and had me look at her website and facebook page which made me want to make a appoitment. I loved my engagment photos and my wedding day photos far exceded what i thought they would be and i love them! She was helpful in helping me plan my save the date cards and on the day of the wedding make me smile and not worry about anything. She asked me what i wanted as far as wedding day photos are did her best to get everything i asked for and more. She was friendly, professional, helpful, creative and worked well with the wedding party, family and venue. She was on time and ready to work. The price made me a happy budget bride and the only downfall was it took almost 2 months to get my wedding photos back but she did let me know she was going to need a few more weeks, which i respected. It was worth the wait and her work is breathtaking! I would highly recommend Crystal and she is my photogrpaher for life. read more

I did a boudoir photoshoot with Crystal, as a gift for my soon-to-be husband (and me). I actually drove all the way from Bellingham to Spokane to do the shoot with her, and it was 100% worth it! Crystal is professional, responsive, and tremendously easy to work with (not to mention, totally gifted). I was a little nervous to do a photoshoot like this, but Crystal made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the get-go! She's great at giving clear instructions on how to pose and makes the experience fun and light-hearted. She has great artistic vision, and was still open to any ideas or questions I had. She was efficient with getting my edited images to me, and I was totally blown away when I saw them!! The entire experience was a huge confidence boost and so much fun; I would whole-heartedly encourage anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot to DO IT and do it with Crystal. You won't find anyone in the area who takes such high-quality photos for such a reasonable price. read more

When I got engaged three years ago, the first thing I told my future husband was that my biggest priority for our wedding was hiring Crystal Madsen. We got married last August, and Crystal was well worth the wait. She captured every moment, every person, every detail exactly how I imagined. People always tell me not to get my hopes up because I'll be disappointed, and Crystal went above and beyond my highest hopes. She managed to capture everyone's personalities, including our children, which means more to me than I could ever express. Crystal not only pays attention to what's important to her clients, but she listens, she absorbs. This shines through in her photos. How personalized her senior shoots are, the small details of the bride, the priceless moments that everyone forgets about, but mean the world when you see them captured the way Crystal is able to. She is wonderful in every way. read more

My husband and I were impressed with Crystal from day one. We did a lot of research in looking for a wedding photographer who was creative, personable, and affordable and found those qualities in Crystal. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she acts as your wedding planner too! She referred us to our DJ as well as my makeup artist. She spent a Sunday afternoon with us traveling to Elk and back to check out our venue and help us plan seating arrangements and the dance floor location for the best shots. Our disc set even came in a really cool case with our pictures on the cover and back, she truly goes above and beyond in EVERY aspect for her clients. The quality if the pictures was perfect and we got quite a variety of shots to cover every pose and person there. Needless to say, we were very impressed with our experience with Crystal and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! read more

Crystal is the perfect wedding photographer. She has an amazing eye for beautiful shots, both posed and candid, and she is very attentive to the shots that you want on your special day. She is also very friendly and works with you so you will leave your wedding knowing you got everything you wanted and more. However, you will not truly appreciate her excellence until you get your pictures back. Not only does she take pristine quality pictures, but you will be in awe of HOW MANY pristine pictures she took. You might think that if a photographer took 1000 pictures of your wedding, you might choose between a hundred for your wedding pictures. Not with her. From our wedding we had over FIVE HUNDRED pictures that were all incredible quality. She has true talent and should always be your first choice in wedding photography. read more

I first met Crystal at a Bridal Fair and immediately knew I wanted her to do my wedding photos! The photographs were very important to me (more so than my dress!) and I knew exactly what style I had wanted. When I met Crystal she was so relaxed and personable, her booth even had a couch! I knew right away that I liked her style and that she would be fun and wouldn't stress me out as much as the rest of the wedding planning did! She was a great help to me and on our wedding day she even chauffeured my husband and I around!! Crystal was very fun to work with, especially for two people who aren't used to posing for pictures for a prolonged amount of time, she made it fun and enjoyable! My wedding was 3 months ago and I still can't decide on which pictures I want for my album because they are all so fabulous!! read more

Being new to the area and pregnant, we were faced with finding a photographer that was available to take maternity photos of my husband and I. From the moment we first contacted Crystal, we knew we found the right photographer! She was incredibly easy to contact and answered all of our many questions promptly and honestly. The photo shoot was quick and painless, as we are not the most comfortable in front of the camera.....but Crystal made it so easy and fun for us! We are thrilled with the photos she took and look forward to decorating our new home with them! A huge thank you to you Crystal for everything! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and creative photographer! read more

I was so nervous to get my senior pics done, as I had never taken professional pictures before. At the consultation Crystal answered all my questions and made me excited to get them taken. During the shoot, she made it fun and easy. I think I was smiling and laughing the entire time. Every picture she took, captured my natural self, not a posed version of me. When we met again, she presented us a slide show of my edited images (my mom cried a few happy tears). I would highly recommend her to anyone, as I have to many of my underclassmen. Also, her makeup artist Evelyn is amazing as well. She was the perfect photographer for me. read more

Crystal blew our minds away in every area you look at when choosing a photographer!! She was attentive from the day we met till we had our beautiful pictures in hand! She works for you until you are beyond happy, makes you feel like you are in the best hands!! We had a crazy wedding party, were late to our wedding, and she calmed me down. Something I think every bride deserves, a calm, sweet, spunky wedding photographer:) I would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for any time of photographer. She has done my wedding and maternity and I continue to get a ton of compliments on them. read more

I had a boudoir photo shoot with Crystal back in July. The overall experience was amazing! She worked with me to not only get the most incredible photos, but she did everything at my comfort level. I never felt uncomfortable during the photo shoot - Crystal always explained the poses, the wardrobe changes, etc., and asked before she helped adjust a pose or a wayward lingerie strap. Plus, the photos I got back were stunning! Crystal has an eye for photographing others. I can not recommend her enough if you are choosing to do a boudoir shoot (or any other type of shoot!). read more

Absolute perfection!! My daughter is already going to miss out on a lot her senior year because of COVID. We are fine with that and looking at other ways to make this year special.I am so happy with Crystal and her crew! They made my daughters senior pictures and experience and not just another photo shoot. She made her feel special and not only gave us amazing photos but also gave us amazing memories we will forever cherish!! Thank you so much for being a ray of sunshine in her senior year! We will be back!! You won't regret booking with her!! read more

I used Crytal to photograph my wedding and she did an amazing job. Our photos are beautiful! She went to great lengths to capture special moments, often in an artistic way. Crystal made my husband and I feel at ease being photographed, was inconspicuous when she needed to be and my family and guests were very impressed with her. She did an excellent job with our engagement photos and we are already planning for future photo sessions with her. I highly recommend her! read more

Crystal is such an amazing photographer and very fun person to be around. She is very professional and will make your experience so comfortable during your shoot. This skill allows her to catch such genuine expressions. She also is so dedicated to taking lots of extra time editing your photos and making them really unique and exceptional! I would highly recommend Crystal Madsen as your next photographer:) I can't wait for her to take photos of our new little man! read more

I worked with Crystal right after my baby girl was born in December of 2010. She came to our house with all of her equipment and made the entire session pleasant because she really understood the process of working with a 10 day old baby. It was an absolute blast to have her here and capture some of our little families first moments in front of the camera. I am looking forward to have her shoot our family photos each year, because she was just that good! read more

We had our engagement photo session with Crystal Madsen tonight and all I can say is WOW. She is amazing! I don't think that either my fiance or I feel very comfortable in front of the camera but she made both of us feel SO comfortable. We had so much FUN! I am so happy and excited to have her photograph our wedding day!! She is so incredibly talented and just plain awesome.I can't say enough good things about her! read more

I had my high school senior pictures taken by Crystal. She did a wonderful job from start to finish. My mom was so happy and tells everyone about her. The pictures are truly amazing. At first my mom did not want to go with Crystal Madsen Photography because of her price. But trust me...you totally get what you pay for. Her pictures are amazing. Her product is totally rad. I luv Crystal! read more

Crystal is AMAZING! She did our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out better than I had dreamed. The pictures weren't overly posed, but captured the moments perfectly. I returned to her for boudoir photos and was even more impressed at how she makes you feel so confident and beautiful. I would highly recommend Crystal as your photographer. read more

Crystal does amazing things with shadow and light and will do whatever she needs to get the photo she's after. Your pictures will look like something out of a magazine when she's done. She's extremely professional and easy to be around, she puts you at ease almost instantly. I'm looking forward to getting the opportunity to work with her again read more
