about

Before you read more about me below, I want to share how I hope I make all my clients feel. It is only two minutes long so please take a peek…

Whether you are looking for a wedding and engagement photographer or a boudoir photographer or all in one! I would love to share with you some of the things that make me stand out among other photographers:

FOR WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENTS:

• I love to get to know my clients so I can capture their love story showcasing their personalities.
• Communication and organization are important to me and for this reason, I only take on 20 weddings per year.
• I have an abundance of experience after shooting weddings and portraits for 15+ years.
• My work is consistent with knowledge of light to be sure to capture everything on your wedding day without fail.
• My shooting style is creative and unique and my editing is clean, crisp, and classic.
• I have photographed events at almost all venues local to Charlotte and the surrounding area.
• I love helping my clients throughout the process of planning their wedding. If I can be helpful in any way I am there for you.
• I believe love is love and adore my LGBTQ+ wedding clients.
• I am well connected in our vendor community and love nothing more than working with other vendors to make my clients’ dreams come true.

A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL:

I love to travel and I have photographed destination weddings all around the country and abroad. Want to see my many adventures? Check out my blog. I have weddings posted you will love from New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Mexico, and Germany – just to name some of the places I have shot weddings. I am available for travel worldwide, and of course locally too. So no matter where you are getting hitched I would love to be there for you.

I am married to the most amazing person. He truly is my soul mate and best friend. We have a lot in common, we are both photographers and we are both technically geeky. Which is a good thing when you are a photographer and an artist. We love eating out and consider ourselves foodies. My husband Thomas is from Munich and I grew up on the East coast. I have family in NC, SC, NY, and NJ – see why I love to travel?!

I am extremely blessed with the most amazing friends and family. I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am for my loved ones. Many of my past and present clients become dear friends. I think this is the best part of my job – getting to know people and cherishing what makes them unique.

That’s enough about me…I want to know about you. Email or call me anytime.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Best Photographer Ever!! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Critsey and the amazing work she does!! I must have told her at least 100 times at our wedding how much I loved her. Here are just a few words to describe Critsey – talented, creative, professional, responsive, fun, calming, dedicated, experienced, sweet, and the list goes on and on. At the end of your wedding, all you have left are your memories and the photos. I am so glad Critsey is the one who captured our photos. She knows all of the right timing, angles, lighting, background, etc. to give you photos that truly bring you back to that moment when you look at the picture. I put my full trust in Critsey and she exceeded expectations. Critsey will be the first person I call when it’s time for newborn photos!”

JAMIE AND TREY

“Critsey was awesome to work with! She takes the time to get to know you, your “style”, and what your vision is so the pictures come out better than you had imagined! We wanted our dog to be in our engagement pictures and in our wedding. Capturing the one-second moment when my dog was actually behaving is challenging, but not for her! She was able to get the best pictures at the most perfect moments. And she makes everything fun!
I would highly recommend Critsey to anyone!!”

CHARLOTTE AND NEIL

“Picking a photographer was the most important decision we made for our wedding. We knew we wanted someone who would be able to capture our candid moments but also our more formal shots in an editorial/documentary way. We didn’t want just your basic formal pictures. Critsey was able to do this in the most incredible way. We are beyond delighted with our pictures. Critsey captures every moment… moments we may have missed but she captured for us to cherish for many years to come. Book Critsey, she is absolutely incredible.”
KELLY AND BROOKS

“Critsey and her team did a fabulous job! We loved working with them and love our photographs. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful team to work with for your wedding!”
KELLY AND GREG

“From day one, Critsey was phenomenal. She was flexible with our schedules, quick to learn our personalities, and even quicker to make us feel comfortable. My entire wedding raved about her and her husband. They were not only professional, they really cared about how our special day went. Critsey made herself available at all times, even offering to stop on her way to the venue in case we forgot anything. Who does that?? Critsey, THANK YOU for helping make our day perfect. I cannot recommend her enough!”
