We hired Crist and Hannah for our rescheduled wedding in the Bay Area, and they are a power duo that exceeded all our expectations! They're so enthusiastic, creative, and open to all your photo op ideas. Even members of my family and wedding party kept complimenting how cool they both were and how well they worked together!! There was so much emotion captured in their photos--we could literally feel the happiness coming out of the photos or relive the struggle not to cry. It's also so valuable to have a photographer who makes you both feel comfortable being in LOVE in front of them. During the photoshoot of just my husband and me, Crist and Hannah made us feel like it was just the two of us, completely in the moment, while at the same time hyping up all of the amazing shots they were getting and making us feel like we were the best couple they've ever worked with. They added so much to our wedding team. We can't thank them enough for being so flexible and for sticking with us through the craziness of Covid-wedding planning. read more

Hiring WetheBlackwells was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were kind, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful about our vision. On the day of the wedding, they showed up with such calm, positive energy--immediately making us feel comfortable and allowing us to just be ourselves. The photos? Absolutely stunning. Every emotion, every tear, every laugh--perfectly captured. Their work is truly art. Somehow, they managed to catch every tiny moment without ever being in the way. It felt like they were everywhere and nowhere at once--in the best possible way. Their eye for detail, light, and timing is unreal. What we appreciated most was how personal the experience felt. They didn't just show up and shoot--they saw us. Our personalities, our relationship, our people--and they documented it all so beautifully. Our gallery is full of both timeless portraits and candid shots that made us cry all over again. We've received so many compliments on our photos--everyone is obsessed. If you're thinking about booking WetheBlackwells, do it. They are beyond talented, incredibly professional, and such lovely humans to have by your side on your wedding day. We will treasure these photos forever. read more

Crist and Hannah from We The Blackwells are so awesome and fun!! They are down-to-Earth people that put out a great vibe. We are so happy that we had them do the photography and videography for our wedding! They keep the mood light while at the same time keeping the work professional. We The Blackwells were so easy to work with and the pictures turned out better than we could have hoped. We sent them inspo pics ahead of time for the aesthetic we were going for and they knocked it out of the park. Communication with them was perfect from the moment we reached out to them to inquire about their services. I highly recommend reaching out to We The Blackwells for your photography and videography needs! read more

We had the pleasure of having Crist and his team as our photographers for our engagement shoot and our wedding along with being the videographers as well! Crist made my husband and I feel so confident in front of the camera. To say we were in awe of the results is an understatement. They were extremely communicative and put mine and my husband's requests and needs before anyone else's in the moments of craziness. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

We had We The Blackwells photograph our August wedding and we have nothing but great things to say about the entire process. Like any couple planning their big day, we were very anxious about our photos and photographer being perfect. To say they stepped up to the plate is an understatement. From our consultation call to receiving our photos, the entire team was so professional, personable, and kind. On our wedding day, we got a thunderstorm and a crash on the interstate delaying our start time. What could have derailed the day, our photographers took and made it work out even better than we'd planned. They helped the DJ and us move our timeline around and got our photos in the perfect sunset lighting to keep our older family members out of the peak heat. We also forgot to cut our cake (we had a small cake for just us and our guests had sheet cake) and even though we were fine to go without those photos, they still made sure to get our wedding rings and take a photo of them with the slice of cake. It was a small thing for them to think of getting a shot of, but that attention to detail and putting themselves in our shoes is what makes We The Blackwells so valuable. Our guests had nothing but kind things to say about their interactions, and our entire bridal party absolutely loved them! Having all the people we love in one space is so rare, so for them to all be so happy and comfortable in every photo means the world to us. When we got our entire gallery back, we were blown away. Not only did they perfectly capture our relationship and the biggest day of our lives, but they got all the candid moments between. Thank you Crist, Hannah, and Mari! If you're looking for a photographer with compassion, humor, and a true eye for the perfect shot, we could not recommend We The Blackwells more! read more

The Blackwells are INCREDIBLE photographers for any life event, but especially weddings! My husband + I had them capture both our engagement shoot and wedding day, and the results came out far better than we expected! They're extremely intentional in all that they do -- not just in the details + moments they capture, but also in how they serve their clients. Planning a wedding can be STRESSFUL (especially when there's family drama), + every time we met with the Blackwells, they made sure to check in on us as human beings + ask how they could help. On the day of our wedding, they made it so magical -- having us both take moments throughout the day to soak it in, rather than rush from one thing to the next. They're also absolutely hilarious + SO FUN to spend your special day with! We HIGHLY recommend them!! read more

Crist was so kind and patient with us, as we had never hired a photographer before. We met him for an engagement shoot, and once we saw the photos we HAD to book him for our wedding. He helped us with a payment plan, as we were on a budget, and even sent us a shot list to help us figure out what photos were a must. He was focused on getting us the best photos while we just enjoyed our day. We wouldn't have chosen anyone else to capture our wedding. Our photos came in very quickly and were absolutely stunning! read more

What can I say about Crist and Hannah? They're both amazing photographers and amazing people! My husband and I met Crist after we won a free mini-shoot. After seeing the photos from that shoot, we knew we wanted Crist to do both our engagement and wedding photos. At our engagement shoot is where we met Hannah. It was so nice to have both of them both working on that shoot. They work perfectly together and have different perspectives which resulted in a great variety of pictures. My husband and I recently got married, and both Crist and Hannah were very accommodating to the few hiccups that happened that day. I can't wait to see how the pictures come out, but I already know for sure that will be beautiful! Thank you again Crist and Hannah and if we need a photographer or photographers, we know who to contact! read more

I had my engagement photos done with Crist and his lovely wife, and it was such an amazing experience! My fiance was a little uncomfortable at first behind the camera, but Crist made the whole experience fun and easy. I knew that I would love our pictures no matter what but when I got them back, they were above my expectations. I'm seriously having a hard time picking what to share on insta hhahaha. In summary, Crist is amazing, his editing skills are the bomb, the photos you will get back you WILL love. I'm so thankful! :) read more

Crist was seriously the best wedding photographer we could have asked for our wedding! He was on time, he was the best at easing our nerves, and even helping to manage our schedule and activities as we had to navigate around a tricky situation with a fatal allergy I have to cats. It was amazing, ---he took his time with getting the most beautiful shots of my husband and I and made us feel so at home. He's a JOY. You're missing out if you don't pick him for your wedding! Amazing! read more

Crist and his wife were amazing to shoot with. Interestingly enough, we met them at a luau in Hawaii! We asked if they were open to doing a session on the beach even though they were on vacation and to my surprise they said yes. Scheduling was a breeze too. They were prompt to answer and were extremely accommodating. Once we got to the shoot they helped us to loosen up and feel comfortable with being in front of the camera. We felt so confident and comfortable that we even got into the ocean fully clothed! Crist followed us too! I was amazed at the final result. His images will hang in my home forever. Thank you so much!!!!! I would recommend 10 times over! read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience than what we had with Crist. He was the photographer for my husband's and my proposal, engagement and wedding! It felt really good to build a relationship with Crist throughout our engagement. He is so committed to capturing the authenticity and unique style of the people in front of his camera, and he is up for adventure! He kayaked out to an island to wait in hiding for our surprise proposal and hiked to a waterfall with us for our engagement shoot. He was intentional in helping us take in every moment, find peace when we felt chaotic and was one of the strongest voices of encouragement and support on my wedding day. I will definitely be working with Crist again and would shout his name to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion! read more
