I just HAVE to rave for a moment about my favorite photographer in the world. Her name is Alex. And she is awesome. She started her own company, Chrystabel Photography, a couple of years ago and decided to pursue it full-time last year. She has an awesome eye, really unique/cool editing skills and techniques, and one of those great, laid-back, funny personalities that makes even the most bashful kid or the camera shy fiancé comfortable during the shoot. (You know how 20-30 year old men never really like to smile for the camera? She can fix that!)
Alex photographed our engagement session and our wedding last year, and I can’t wait to have babies so she can photograph them too (okay, I CAN wait to have babies, but when I finally do, Alex will be called!). Here are a couple of my fave pics by Chrystabel Photography.
Oh, and did I mention she does amazing graphic design as well? Yep. She designed our save-the-dates… |
Here’s one from my best friend’s engagement session. |
Then Alex designed my wedding invitations… (gorgeous!!!) |
Then I got married and Alex was there to capture every moment! |
Alex photographed my friend’s wedding a couple months after ours… I love this shot!!! |
And she photographs babies-on-the-way… |
And babies with popped collars… |
And babies growing up! |
And sometimes she just takes pictures of pretty places. Oh hey, Seattle… |
I basically consider myself Alex’s unofficial PR agent and my current goal is to get someone in Arizona to hire her. Right now she lives in Seattle and could possibly relocate to Cali, but just think, you could fly her out to your wedding for a mere $200 or so. Totally worth it if you ask me. Or maybe we’ll have her come visit us and you can book a shoot while she’s here. And to all my Seattle readers, BOOK HER NOW while she still lives in your area! You won’t regret it!
