Jerilyn suggested this location and we were thrilled to discover this hidden gem. We will be back to go exploring in the Spring.

From the second she walked in my hotel room, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She had me and my bridesmaids cracking up all day.

I wish more than anything that I didn't have to write this review, because that would mean I was…read morehappy with the only photos I'll ever have from my wedding. Sadly, I'm not. Leading up to the wedding, communication with Crissy was great. She was responsive, confident, and seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. I truly thought I was in good hands. The day started off fine, but that didn't last long. While taking bridesmaid photos, Crissy repeatedly referred to the group as "girls," even though one of my bridesmaids is a man. Each time she caught herself, she made a dramatic show of "correcting" it, turning what could've been a nonissue into an awkward moment several times. That tone set the stage for the rest of the day: unnecessary comments, poor professionalism, and a general lack of awareness. Family photos were a mess. Despite having a full list of shots, Crissy made no effort to organize them, leaving me, the bride, to track down and call out my own family members. Later, either she or her assistant (neither would own up to it) decided it was appropriate to tell one of my bridesmaids that she "made a funny face" during the ceremony. Completely uncalled for. During cocktail hour, my maid of honor had to come remind me to take more photos because Crissy apparently couldn't approach me herself and told my maid of honor something along the lines of not wanting to talk to me, maybe because organizing family photos left me in a bad mood. And when she decided she was done for the night? She just left. No goodbye, no check-in, nothing. Apparently she could not find me. Then came the "sneak peeks," which were anything but the exiting reminder of our big day that they should have been. My flowers, jewelry (yup that's supposed to be a pearl necklace believe it or not), and tattoos were warped beyond recognition from excessive blurring, and my face had been edited to the point that I didn't even look like myself. The details I spent months planning, gone. When I brought this up, Crissy immediately got defensive instead of acknowledging the obvious issues. That reaction pretty much sums up every interaction I've had with her since: defensive, dismissive, and never accountable. When I calmly told her I wanted to find a solution that worked for both of us, she accused me of threatening her. Let that sink in, a paying client expressing dissatisfaction was somehow a "threat." The immaturity and unprofessionalism she's shown in every post-wedding conversation have been astonishing. And if all that's not enough to make you reconsider, here's more: - Most photos were unevenly framed or crooked. - Basic editing errors everywhere, overexposure, blotchy grass left unedited, poor color grading. - Important moments were completely missed (thankfully our videographer was on the ball the whole night). The "photo booth" included in our package wasn't set up until 15 minutes before she left, resulting in zero usable photos of guests and fewer than 30 photos from the last hour of the night. So in conclusion, I absolutely wish I'd spent the extra $1,000 on a professional who knew what they were doing. Between the poor quality, the lack of professionalism, and the astonishingly childish behavior, hiring Crissy was my biggest wedding-day regrets. I'll cherish the memories, just not the photos.

She had fantastic communication throughout the whole process. She delivered early for us on all of her deadlines which was a huge plus for an impatient person like myself! On wedding day, I really felt like Crissy and her second shooter were my security team. They protected me from nosey guests and country club members and made sure to get every shot I asked for. We thank Chrissy for capturing our day with ease and expertise. We will cherish our photos from both our wedding and engagement session for the rest of our lives.

As a professional wedding photographer, I wasn't sure how easy it was going to be for me to say…read more"yes" to OUR wedding photographer. Having known Chris since High School and having worked with him as an assistant for a wedding he photographed, I knew who he was, I knew his style and I knew his equipment. I was comfortable knowing all of the above, so my now husband, Justin and I went to meet him to discuss options to have him as our photographer. Before walking into the meeting, I had practically made my mind up already that he was who we would book, but I wanted Justin to meet him and I wanted to get those "warm fuzzies" from our conversation. After the meeting, we were thrilled to choose Chris to photograph our big day! First came our engagement shoot; like I said, I am also a photographer, but my goal was to act as though I had never held a camera in my life. Chris and his wife April took the reigns and helped Justin and I with the entire shoot from start to finish. When we saw the final product, we were over the moon!! With the engagement pictures out of the way, we certainly looked forward to what our photos would look like from our BIG day! Prior to our wedding day, Chris took the time to get every detail straight regarding wants/needs to ensure our wedding day was seamless. He showed up with a list on our wedding day of everything that we had discussed! During our ceremony and reception, Chris and his assistant were all over the place but never came across as invasive. In fact, at times I forgot they were there taking pictures (even when they were right in front of my face!). What an amazing time we had! Our wedding day came and went, but Chris is the one who will forever help us to cherish our "perfect" day in the form of his artwork. Our photos are stunning and our friends and family can't say enough good things about them. I would certainly recommend Chris for anyone to use as their wedding photographer, he was and I'm sure always will be, phenomenal. Thanks Chris!

During the wedding he blended in perfectly and captured beautiful, candid moments of us and our guests. During the still shots, Chris was precise and detail-oriented and the results were fantastic. I was very proud to share his work with our family. Working with Chris was one of the easiest and most enjoyable aspects of our wedding experience and I highly recommend his thoughtful and talented approach to capturing forever memories.

We absolutely and unequivocally recommend Katie and Brave Hearts Photography as a wedding…read morephotographer! So much work goes into planning for a wedding, and the day goes by so quickly. Having a photographer capture the setting, the details, the guests, and the special moments between a new husband and wife is so valuable, and we are so glad we trusted this to Katie. We are incredibly impressed with the high quality photographs taken during our wedding, and Katie's professionalism. Working with her was one of the easiest and best vendor decisions of our June wedding! She captured moments and details that we will be able to relive forever, including many that we never even saw in the excitement of the day. She and a second photographer, Cullen, were present for nearly twelve hours, and were there with cameras during every moment of the day. We are so impressed with their attention to detail, kindness, and thorough work! We sent a comprehensive list of photographs that we'd like to have captured, and she and Cullen got all of these and many, many, many more, that we never even thought of. The photographs are absolutely stunning, and so very well done, and it was so much fun to see some go up on her blog within a few days, with a great narrative that we could share with family and friends. They arrived four hours before the ceremony even began, getting shots of the bridal party getting ready, the groomsmen, the landscape and ceremony site, and the guests arrivals. Katie was so kind and fun and easy to be around. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable getting photographed throughout the day. Many times, we didn't even notice the photographers as they captured beautiful and special parts of the day. My family through that she was a friend who offered to photograph our wedding, because of how comfortable she was coordinating the large group after the ceremony. For the entire day, both photographers stayed present, but were unobtrusive. They were with us for close to twelve hours! They remained energetic, happy, professional, and kind throughout the entire day. We have countless wonderful memories and hundreds of photographs to treasure from the day, thank to Katie! A wonderful value and terrific investment!
