Blue Martini Photography

use I knew she had it covered. We loved her and her team and they were worth every penny. She captured every moment perfectly.

enging - shots, and never complained. For our first engagement photos, I broke my foot and was hobbling around downtown in crutches. In the second set, we brought our new (slightly disturbed) rescue dog. Haha. After asking me "are you sure you're up for this?" Christin quickly assured me "we've got this! Let's do it!" and the pictures turned out wonderful. I thank her so much for her sense of humor and her drive. She really listens to her customers - for better or for worse, haha. At the wedding, I kept hearing my guests say how impressed they were with BMP's efficiency, and the photos are some of the best our family has EVER seen. Looking through our wedding photos was an all evening (amazing) experience. There were SO many! Unlike other vendors, these photos now belong to us and BMP provides a release. We were able to again experience our wedding from the view of both Christin and Danielle, which is completely priceless. While wedding photography doesn't come for free, it is, for me a no-brainer. As a couple, you spend so much time going from place-to-place, that having these memories (and having them so well shot) is invaluable. They are a gift we will treasure forever. Thank you Christin and Danielle for your work! Ben, our family, and I are very satisfied customers! PS - Thank you also for the photography timeline, which was part of what made our evening flow smoothly.

were planning a sort of destination wedding, and Christin was so helpful through the entire process putting our minds at ease each time we spoke. Her timeline was so detailed and really helped keep us on track for our wedding day. On the day of, it was like meeting an old friend when Christin arrived. She was so friendly and great to work with - plus she had great relationships with all of our other vendors which really made the day run smoothly! She was wonderful at keeping us on time and did a great job wrangling our large bridal party! and the photos....they are just beautiful! She captured everything perfectly, its like I can feel the emotion of the day through the photos! I can wait to display then in our new home!

went to multiple bridal shows and talked with dozens of photographers, but after we met with Christin we immediately knew that she was the one we wanted to capture our day. She is so outgoing and friendly, it made having a camera on you so much easier! Not to mention, she is super fast- both at taking the pictures and getting them back to you! We are so in love with our engagement pictures, and even more with our wedding pictures. The photography and video were the most important decisions to me because we wanted to be able to relive our day and cherish these memories forever. Our wedding album lets us do exactly that. I was nervous the day of the wedding because my hair/makeup artist took longer than she was supposed to and put us behind schedule almost 40 minutes. However, with Christin's detailed timeline and quick shooting, she made it work and delivered a beautiful album. BMP will not disappoint! Thank you so much Christin and Katey!

o we have access to print all the photos.

not only impressive but her photography breathtaking. Her style is lively, colorful, full of natural light and just stunning. She and I had instant rapport - I felt like I was talking to dear friend of mine, not a vendor. She was quick to advise me, as a curvy bride, to take engaging and flattering photos - she made me feel comfortable and confident. All the guests at our wedding remarked at how wonderful she was. My bridal party appreciated her ability to herd us to take pictures effectively and with a sense of humor (which can be difficult since we all kept getting distracted!). As my life progresses, I will fly to Ohio to work with Christin again. She's just remarkable and worth every penny we paid for her services. She's a gem. If you can get here, do it!

s and is so quick to reply to all questions! Her work speaks for itself! She's organized and helped make our day so easy while getting all of the good photos! Beyond thriller we got to work with her and to have her be part of our big day!!!

ur wedding photos back yet as we just got married 2 weeks ago, but I have high expectations for them as she is very organized and efficient. Christin creates a detailed timeline before your wedding to review with you to make sure all photos are taken that you want. She follows this timeline to a tee and keeps you and your bridal party on task even after a few alcoholic beverages ;) They offer Photo Booth options which are always fun for everyone at a wedding. A book is provided with copies of all of the guests pictures too. Overall, if you hire Blue Martini you will be hiring a professional who will get the job done! I can't wait to see how she beautifully captured our day :)

e time she could do my session and where to send the final product so he wouldn't find out! I was nervous to do it but I'm glad I did! The pictures were classy and the book turned out amazing!!

uld not have asked for anything better. Our pictures are so beautiful and depict our special day. The efficiency in Christin's work and how quick we got our images back was wonderful! We will definitely use Christin/Blue Martini Photography in the future for all of our life events that we want to remember forever!

e sure we got exactly what we wanted. Along with amazing wedding photos, we are also very happy with the snowy engagement shoot and elegant boudoir pictures she took. Not to mention the return time for getting the images back...lets face it, no Bride wants to wait weeks to see their pics! We highly recommend Blue Martini Photography.

until I had to reach out to her.

ire process fun. Blue Martini Photography is absolutely worth the investment in your wedding!

photos and they are INCREDIBLE. Book Blue Martini today!

ding on a photographer, I knew I had to have her capture my wedding day. She is so outgoing, professional, funny, laid back, and incredibly TALENTED! She always made me feel at ease during our engagement photos and wedding day photos, mainly because this girl knows what she's doing and got every possible shot you could want...AND THEN SOME! I am still in awe when looking at my photos! She kept my bridal party on track the whole day while making it so fun for us! I got my photos back SO FAST and every time I look at them, I find a new favorite. At the end of the day, all you have left to remember your wedding day is your photos (and video if you hire a videographer), and I promise you...Christin and her team will leave you with photos and moments that will give you all of the feelings that you experienced on your special day. I promise you...Christin and her team will NOT disappoint, and will surpass even your wildest dreams from the time you meet her...until all is said and done. Thank you, Blue Martini Photography team!!!

that the most important day of our lives was captured beautifully. Before the wedding Christin was extremely easy to get a hold of and always accomodating, I never had to wait long for a response from her and she was always willing to answer my questions. On the day of the wedding Christin came over to my mothers house where we were getting ready and was instantly in charge of the day. Before and after the ceremony she let me know how much time I had and what needed to be done, which is an amazing thing and much appreciated considering how jumbled my mind was from all the nervous excitment. She helped keep everyone organized and got all of our pictures done in a timely fashion so we had plenty of time to visit with our guest and enjoy our party bus. During the reception she was there for all of the important moments but was also descreet, I barely noticed that she was there. She is friendly and easy going and just an overall pleasure to work with. For all of these reasons alone I wouldn't hesitant to hire her again but then there are the photos that she takes. Absolutely stunning. I couldn't have asked for anything better and everytime I show someone our wedding photos they comment on how great they are. We loved Christin so much that my sister has just booked her for her own wedding.

n for any future photography needs.

he pictures. Christin did a fantastic job organizing the chaos and keeping the wedding party on task. The pictures went by so quickly and effortlessly which allowed me the opportunity to visit with our wedding guests and enjoy the party. Christin is very professional, efficient, and creative with her photography. She does an incredible job of making sure you get the shots that truly capture the day! Our first look photos bring tears to my eyes every time I see them and I am so happy that moment was captured. We have so many amazing pictures that it will be difficult to narrow down our selection of favorites. I can’t thank Christin enough for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

to work with and captured our day perfectly, she went above and beyond as our photographer. It was as if I hired her as a day-of coordinator. She and her team made our lives so much easier on the big day and I know that they had their hands full with our wild bunch. So thank you SO much for all of your time and effort! The pictures were perfect and I'm so glad you were there to help us celebrate our special day. :)

cient with coordinating all the different pictures we wanted and my favorite part about working with her is that you will feel like you have known her forever. She also helped us stay within our budget by cutting out things we didn't necessarily need. We are already planning yearly pictures with her because we loved her so much!

t all! Christin is there for YOU, as the bride and groom, and no one else. We had a destination wedding in Destin, Florida on 10/14/16 and she flew in the day before to get rehearsal dinner pictures, was able to scope out locations in advance to the wedding day which made the day of pictures go so much smoother. My husband is not someone who likes his picture taken, and Christin totally understood that and made sure she was quick and to the point. Even during our family pictures after the wedding ceremony, we received SO many compliments on how efficient she was as to not waste anyone's time. Christin is fantastic at picking the best locations and using the best lighting to get your best shot. If you want the BEST in the business, you have to book Blue Martini....they will not disappoint!

s and boots. After the ceremony, Christin got our "family photos" done in a matter of minutes which saved so much time for all the extra shots I had asked them to take in addition to the awesome ideas she came up with on the spot! They were both everywhere, making sure to get the right shots, and believe me, we have only received some of our photos and they are nothing short of amazing!! I highly recommend them!!!

there will be at least one thing that goes wrong on your wedding day, and they were more than right! If it wasn't for Christin for putting together a timeline for the day-it would have been more chaotic than it already was! Don't get me wrong-it was a BEAUTIFUL day and ended up being perfect, but you get so caught up with trying to make sure to visit all of your guests and enjoying the moment at the same time that you really don't think of anything else! Between the hotel, to the church, to the reception hall, odds are that something was going to get left behind-my beautiful garter for the garter toss. Minor, I know, but after searching all over for it at the reception, it had been dropped off at home by the Father of the Bride. Woops! Christin took charge and tied the groom's bow tie around my thigh! We were already over with our photographer's timeline, but her and her husband Matt (who we all loved as well!) stayed an extra hour to make sure to capture those photos. It truly is the little things in life. You will never know how much that little gesture was appreciated! It made a BIG difference and I LOVE having these photos to look back on. Thank you so much for making our crazy day run smoothly and helping us enjoy our perfect day! The photos are more than beautiful and you are so creative. You two were amazing! -Natalie and Tyler Losh :)

seamlessly moved us through our pictures between the ceremony and reception. They kept us on (or even ahead) of schedule all day which was just an added bonus! Their creativity was awesome- they had fun taking pictures, we had fun getting our picture taken, and the pictures came out AMAZING! Dan got a couple night pictures and those were our favorite of the whole day! Additionally, our pictures were available for us within 2 weeks of our wedding! The turnaround was amazing as we did not want to wait months to get their pictures- it was so fun to relive the day over and over again already! The whole Blue Martini team was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end and we would recommend them to ANYONE!!!

ys everything I needed to hear when we chose Blue Martini as our photographers- which I did after reading so many great reviews. This was, hands down, the most perfect choice for our wedding day that we made and absolutely worth every penny. From the very beginning I knew it was a great fit- Christin just happened to be in the same town as me (both hours away from our homes- that are also hours away from each other) and she came to my hotel to discuss our wedding and the possibility of photographing for us. She was amazingly bubbly, perfectly professional, and fit in wonderfully with my best friends, the bridal party. From then on, any time we needed to ask her a question or get more info about something she was always prompt and happy to help. She loves country music- our fave, and even gave me recommendations for my bachelorette party in Nashville. And that doesn't even begin to describe how great her and Danielle were on our special day. They knew exactly what we wanted and needed, kept everyone in line, and kept us running on time so that we had enough time to drink and dance as the night went on. She even asked our colors before the wedding and was dressed accordingly for the big day. And OUR PHOTOS! OH MY GOODNESS! We are literally obsessed and completely unable to narrow them down to 50 to get into an album. We absolutely LOVE every single one of them and there are TONS! I promise you, in every way,that choosing Blue Martini, and particularly having Christin on your side for your big day, will be everything you're hoping for and you'll feel like it was the best decision you made (other than marrying your fiance, of course)! ;)

wedding. We had seen her work after a family wedding and knew her photos were stunning and creative, but after speaking with her briefly on the phone it was clear that her bubbly personality and easy going attitude would make her the perfect fit to keep our wedding day photos stress free to capture as well! Our engagement session with Christin was fantastic; we had a fall shoot in a Toledo metropark and not only did she help us feel relaxed and less awkward... In front of plenty of gawking runners, walkers, bikers, etc. but she kept the mood light and was so easy to talk to. At times we even forgot we were being photographed! It was just like spending time with friends and the photos that came from the day were incredible!! She captured all of our best angles, noticing the little head tilts so my earings caught the light or the curls in my hair fell just right. Start to finish she was a pleasure to work with. You're going to spend a great deal of time with your photographer on the wedding day and not only is she easy to get along with but she meshed so well with the entire bridal party and our families too! She was able to not only able to organize our unruly families for posed photos, but do it tactfully and with grace so as not to dull any of the joy and excitement following the ceremony. In addition, Looking back at the finished photos, I don't remember seeing Christin in the middle of the room, or positioned between me and my loved ones, but she was so present and involved... snapping candid pictures of all the moments that stand out so vividly in my mind. There isn't a single second of the day that I look back and think... Where was the photographer for this? There are however so many photos that she took where I wasn't present to see the smile on a loved ones face, or my nephews laughter, but I now have those moments frozen forever to look back on. We had such a beautiful day, and I can't stress enough how pleased we were with not only our finished product, but with how much we loved Christin (and her lovely assistant Danielle!) personally and professionally!! Book Blue Martini for your big day! You will NOT have any regrets and you will be so incredibly pleased with all of the memories you have from the day you have put so much time and effort into planning.

, I want to hire her!” And three year later I am writing this review— Christin Berry is a passionate and professional business woman and with her slight Southern drawl makes you want to be her best friend. She will take charge of the most unorganized situation and capture beauty throughout. Her warm personality is charming and her photography style is classically unique. Christin and her assistant Danielle capture moments in a synchronic fashion which allow you to re-live and see past the “fluff” of a wedding to remember the experience and emotions you flew through during your wedding day. You can count on Christin to meet deadlines and make sure you get what you ask for, more, and then some. If you are looking for a photographer who will exceed your expectations with her work and who provides an exceptional experience during the creation, then you need to sign a contract with Blue Martini Photography.

he was even there to calm me down when our limo forgot to pick up the bridesmaids. She was very helpful with logistics and helping to plan out the day down to the minute. Dan was also a great fit for the guys – my husband is hard to please, but he won him over right away! Our pictures perfectly captured our day, and we got them back within 2 and a half weeks. She was also really flexible with our engagement shoot…splitting it into two sessions for us so that we could have pictures in the winter and the spring. The photobooth was also a HUGE hit. I would recommend BMP in a heartbeat. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

and ultimately chose BMP because of their professionalism and AMAZING photos! Christin was so easy to work (due to her laid back personality)! She responds to texts and emails super quickly and was able to help us come up with photography locations and the timeline for the day. The timeline she puts together for you is seriously so helpful - because of it I did not have to worry about one thing the day of the wedding which was such a relief! The day of the wedding it rained and our locations had to change slightly, however Christin worked fabulously with our bus driver and the videographer to coordinate new locations and were awesome at not letting us getting stressed out - we just went with the flow and it all worked perfectly! Although we didn't have a huge bridal party (10), we did have a rowdy bridal party and she was able to keep everyone in order for the pictures which was awesome and took a lot of stress off of me. Most importantly though, she is an amazing photographer and we are SOOO happy with our pictures!!! They turned out amazing, and she did a great job of getting amazing pictures in our church - which was super important to me. To our surprise, she got the pictures done super quickly and we had our pictures in 2-3 weeks after the wedding - that is just unheard of these days I feel!!! We were super impressed with Christin/BMP, and hope to hire her again one day when we have kids :-) My only regret is that I wished I would have scheduled an additional hour for the reception, as we ended up not having a lot of photos of people dancing and pictures with our guests - however that's on my husband and I, not Christin! If you want high quality photos and an awesome, attentive, truthful photographer go ahead and hire BMP already!! Thanks again BMP!!!!

e on our big day! I would highly recommend them to any new bride planning her wedding! Christin was so easy to work with and great with communication! Stop your search now ladies you've found your photographer! :)

tely. Not only is she easy to get along with her work is fabulous. She is very attention to detail and organized which is what every bride wants on her wedding day! We got the link to our wedding photos in less than a week and couldn't be more happy with how they turned out!! Every moment of our wedding was captured perfectly - I truly can't say enough good things about Blue Martini!!

t away and offered suggestions when needed. The timeline that Blue Martini creates really helps the day go smoothly. We had Dan and Colleen as our shooters and they both did a fantastic job! I LOVE all of my photos, I do not know how I will choose between them all. My entire bridal party was thrilled with the photographers as they made the photo process painless and fun! It was SO hot on our wedding day, so making the outdoor photos happen with ease was definitely a plus. I am forever now a Blue Martini client and will be booking them for all of life's candid moments. Thank you Christin, Dan, and Colleen, we love you! Mollie & Derek Luidhardt Tiffin, OH

ement photos. Now 4 years later I lost my wedding disc with all my photos and Christin is still there for me sending me a new disc. Exceptional customer service. I would recommend her and her team to anyone!

They stuck to a strict timeline to keep things moving, but were also flexible to fit in any extra things we wanted to do. They knew what they were talking about and gave GREAT direction to how people should be posed. Dan would also show us a few photos throughout the day, so we could see little previews of what he was working on. And in the end, WE LOVED THEM! Christin did a great job with our engagement photos, and also kept in close communication with me throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was almost immediate with her responses when I contacted her (which was a lot), and adjusted the timeline as needed. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose Blue Martini.

t leader on the day of the wedding. She was direct but friendly with everyone in the photos---exactly what I needed to herd around both of our families and our friends!!! The pictures turned out absolutely AMAZING and I received hem within two weeks of the wedding! I would recommend Blue Martini to EVERYONE !

otographers. When we met with Christin, we quickly knew that she was a great fit and we couldn’t be more pleased with her work. Planning a wedding from 500 miles away has many challenges, but Christin was flexible and made everything simple for us. Christin is fun, professional and works efficiently to get beautiful pictures without rushing the process. She and Heather worked well together to get both candid and formal pictures. They didn’t miss a detail, which was very important to us. Something that sets Blue Martini apart from other photographers is organization and planning. Months before the wedding, Christin worked with us on a timeline of events and coordinated with our other vendors to make sure we stuck to a schedule and even when we were running behind, she put our minds at ease and was still able to make up the time without jeopardizing the quality of the pictures. Christin had our final pictures ready for us when we returned from our honeymoon. We were extremely impressed with the promptness in which Christin responded to our communications and the quality of the work she produced. She was a delight to work with and we definitely recommend Blue Martini Photography!

we knew that he was the photographer for us, and understood our personal style. He rocked our engagement shoot, and even though I haven't seen the wedding pictures all completed yet, I can tell you that from the few photos he showed me during the event, they are going to be amazing! The things that Dan can do with lighting are nothing short of awesome and perfect! I cannot wait to see the pictures of our big day because I know they are all going to be amazing! Dan & his assistant made our special day so much more special.

e wanted to have. We have seen a handful of pictures from our day and they are absolutely breathtaking!! One of our pictures even made it into the Huffington Post! We cannot express enough how wonderful Christin and her team were and how great they did helping to make our big day the best day ever! Highly recommend her and blue martini photography to anyone who wants gorgeous, fun, amazing photos taken by a fun, professional, talented photographer!!!!

ughout the entire night. We love our pictures and he even got us published in the Huffington Post! It was such a pleasure working with them from start to finish. He provided us with a timeline that made they day go so smooth I don't think I could have done it without him. If you are looking for beautiful pictures and amazing service I highly suggest choosing BMP! You won't be disappointed 😉

ith her and we LOVE our photos. She keeps the day moving and she is very organized. Christin is easy to contact and always replies quickly-even when I am sure I was being an annoying bride! We will continue to use Christin/Blue Martini for every photo event in our lives!

schedule and she was super sensitive to my needs and making sure I was okay and happy the entire day. She calmed my nerves the minute she started shooting. I knew I was in great hands and that the pictures would be amazing! I am definitely going to recommend all new brides to her and hopefully use her again in the future! Thank you Blue Martini!!!

ke an amazing team. We researched and met with several photographers before we finally chose BMP. It was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We couldn't imagine having anyone else with us there for our special day. Christin was there for us anytime we needed her during the planning process. Her creativity and the way she handled our wedding day was flawless. She created a perfect timeline and even when things didn't go according to plan, she made sure we didn't feel any of that stress. She helped make our day completely perfect. The photos we received are absolutely amazing. Christin and Dan are extremely talented and it shows in their final product. The pictures were an excellent mix of traditional and contemporary which was exactly what we wanted. Christin and Dan were really fun to work with and there was never a dull moment.

above that. Not only did they exceed my expectations with the quality of their photography, but the day of the wedding was EXCEPTIONAL. Leading up to the wedding was amazing, they answered all of my questions quickly and efficiently and even made my anxious mom calm (this was really the only thing she wasn't anxious about!). On the day of, they were on time and professional. They herd your wedding party in a way that perfectly straddles the line of demanding but soft and friendly. I never once was annoyed or offended by the "Over here, you, out of the picture" because Christin is SO sweet but firm. You'll find yourself becoming her friend by the end of the day and enjoying the experience. Also - hire Dan. It's worth the extra money. Photos are the MOST important investment for the wedding because they last longer than the food, cake or alcohol - spend the money. Get the best. Hire Blue Martini. Also - they have open-style-photo booths. Which was great and fun. Highly recommended.

h, contract to the streamlined process of documenting expectations and a minute-by-minute timeline for the day of the event – I felt 100% confident that the day would unfold as we planned, thanks in part to Blue Martini and their commitment to documenting our dream day. The photographers were professional and worked hard before the day of the wedding to understand our desires and visualize the spaces we would be working in. The pre-work paid off and each phase of the photography sessions were carried out efficiently; even when we had to make a game-time decision to avoid the rain that started just as our outdoor photographs were supposed to begin. Christin and Colleen made a potentially stressful day, easy and fun. The pictures are beautiful and truly capture the pure joy we felt every moment of our special day. Thanks, Blue Martini!

er own hotel room in case the weather wasn't good one of the days. She drove 4 hours to Toledo and 4 hours back just for my boudoir session (which she rented a hotel room to take the pictures, I ended up being 2 hours late and she waited without a single complaint, and she had plenty of wine and Burger King waiting for me). And then to Catawba for our wedding and came to the rehearsal dinner the day before to get extra pictures for us. They are SOO much fun to work with, do an INCREDIBLE job with the pictures and make everything so comfortable and carefree. We will without a doubt be hiring them for every milestone in our life going forward.
