House of Willingham

ficient and thoughtful! It’s amazing the way you captured the beauty, love, and emotions of the day through your photos. The fact that you understood the wedding party’s Spongebob language is a major plus 🙂 Throughout the process, you kept us in the loop and were transparent every step of the way!

ways readily available to answer our questions and provide support when needed. We had a few special requests and Christian accommodated all of them, while also sharing her recommendations on how to seamlessly incorporate everything within our timeline. From family photos in Korean traditional outfits prior to the ceremony, to a group photo with all of our guests to kick off the dancing, to capturing photos of our private last dance and sparkler exit - Christian brought it all to life and with so much grace! On our wedding day, Christian and her second photographer, Tommy, captured both posed and candid moments perfectly, and the photos are absolutely stunning! They were fantastic at keeping us on schedule, commanding large groups for family photos, and ensuring the day was stress-free. The energy was great, the photos are breathtaking, and they truly captured the magic of our day all while making it feel effortless and fun! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, leading to genuine, beautiful photos we will cherish forever. Choosing Christian and her team was easily the best decision ever! We loved working with her and we know you will too! :) 

hristian, we knew we were in great hands, but seeing our final gallery completely blew us away. Our photos look like a real-life fairytale. She has an incredible eye for detail and a way of making everything look just as magical as it feels. Christian is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to have around on such an important day. We couldn’t be happier with how she captured our story. Don’t look any further—book her immediately!

le the inclusivity was absolutely amazing, what struck us most was how thoughtfully Christian ensured the lighting was suitable for both subjects. We instantly fell in love. We booked her for our wedding before we even knew it would be a destination wedding. We had our engagement photos taken in Raleigh, NC, and they were beautiful. Over the next year, both my wife and I lost a substantial amount of weight, and Christian reshot our engagement photos in the Charlotte area. During that year, we unexpectedly grew very fond of Christian. By the time our wedding arrived, we truly loved having her there. Not only do we love her as a person, but her professionalism on the day of the wedding was unmatched. She’s the perfect amount of quirky—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, comfortable, and heard. Ashley is a bit camera shy, and Christian came fully prepared with poses and directions to guide her. I’m a little less camera shy, and Christian made sure I had time to move in ways that felt most flattering to me, while still giving me angles and direction that fit the vision we cultivated together. I couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. She was the first vendor we secured, and we were completely at ease knowing that if nothing else went right that day, our memories would still be captured exceptionally. With two brides, we knew how much time and intention goes into ensuring both brides receive the attention and photos they deserve. At the last minute, we added a second shooter and a content creator from the House of Willingham team. Tommy and Maddy made us feel so safe and comfortable—like we’d known them for years. The way the entire team works together is truly seamless. I wasn’t sure how it would work having multiple people with a shared vision, but honestly, it was a 10,000/10 experience. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, personable, and kind team. Christian literally fell into a bush during our ceremony to get the perfect shot. Her dedication to her craft is evident not only in her work, but in the way she makes people feel. I couldn’t be more grateful for both the experience and the results. Her work truly speaks for itself.

hout the entire wedding process. From the start, she was extremely communicative and clear on the process, expectations, timeline, etc. We got married out of state and unfortunately weren’t able to complete an engagement shoot with Christian. Despite not meeting her until the day of our wedding, she made us both feel SO comfortable the entire time. For someone like myself who has always really disliked being photographed, Christian provided clear (and fun) direction and made me feel like I’ve been professionally modeling for years. Christian and her assistant photographer Tommy were both also willing to experiment with our Super 8 camera, and they ended up getting a bunch of great shots that my husband edited into the cutest little wedding video. Most importantly, we cannot get over how perfectly our photos turned out… they are absolutely gorgeous. We are having the hardest time narrowing down our favorites, which is a lovely problem to have. We truly could not provide a stronger or more heartfelt recommendation for hiring House of Willingham!!! 100/5 stars ⭐️

to work with. She and her team truly made our day feel even more special because of the time and effort they put into making sure we had the pictures of our dreams– we looked FABULOUS! They made taking pictures for hours feel so quick because of their organization and guidance throughout the day. As a type A person and bride, I was able to just breathe, and that was a great feeling. They bring positive energy and truly make it all about you and your partner. The thoughtfulness and care they put into their work is unmatched, and they will always have a client in us. We will have these beautiful photos forever. We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend House of Willingham if you are looking for wedding photography. They are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you

her attention to detail is unbelievable. On wedding day, she and her partner photographer, Tommy, were incredibly calming for us and were extremely organized.  Our final photos came out absolutely BEAUTIFUL and it took us back to that amazing day. We will cherish these photos and memories forever and we cannot thank Christian Reyes Photography enough. 

The final photos are absolutely stunning, and she was very prompt sharing them. Thank you so much for capturing these memories for us!!

anted to capture our big day! From the engagement photo session all the way up to our wedding day, the communication from her was top notch, and she always made us both feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she was by my side the whole time and even provided tissues and laughs to calm the nerves. She directed everyone during the group photos and made everything flow smoothly and easily! All of our photos are amazing and truly captured every moment and emotion on our big day. We are so thankful for Christian and her team, we would recommend her to anyone!

she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera! Christian is incredibly talented, but she’s also kind, responsive, creative, and so easy to be around. She offered thoughtful suggestions on everything from outfits to poses and brought so many fresh/fun ideas to the table!! If you’re on the fence about booking a photographer, seriously… look no further than Christian. Already dreaming up excuses to work with her again for future sessions!!!

lism, her artistic abilities, and her kindness throughout the process. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

ither my husband nor I like having our picture taken, but she put us completely at ease. Hire Christian for your wedding. You won’t regret it!

She made both me and my wife feel so comfortable and truly captured our beauty in every shot. Christian has an incredible gift for making everyone feel at ease, from our families to our entire bridal party. She was an absolute trooper—both for traveling to our destination wedding and for being so patient with me and my (very particular!) requests. She is truly amazing at what she does, and we’re so grateful to have had her capture our day.

he process and always professional. She is great at directing poses and made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera! Christian was always organized, from game-planning for the Wedding Day to shuffling people in and out of family photos. She works very efficiently! Even our friends, family, and guests spoke about how impressed they were with her coordination and organization. She captured the perfect combination of posed and candid photos from our special day. Christian went above and beyond to capture magical photos outside in the freezing cold as it snowed on our day! Our entire gallery is beautiful and I'm extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend working with Christian for any photography needs you have!

personalities of our loved ones. You can see the joy of the day in her photos. We have some many incredible photos to look back on and remember our perfect day. Not only is Christian an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also very professional. She sent us a questionnaire prior to our big day to ensure she knew all the important photos to capture. She was on time, kept to her timeline, and gathered our various family members with ease. If you want to capture every moment of your wedding day and not worry about a thing then I would highly recommend Christian.

g - we truly could not have made a better choice! From the very beginning she worked alongside us and made two people who aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera feel at ease. She went above and beyond in helping us choose the perfect location for our engagement shoot and delivered an incredible experience along with incredible photos. On the wedding day she navigated our large family with ease and everything ran far more smoothly (and quickly!) than we ever could have anticipated. She brought great vibes and made the experience so much fun. Christian captured our day beautifully and we are so thankful. Do yourself a favor and book her as your wedding photographer now!

tive throughout this entire process. This makes a world of difference during the craziness of wedding planning, on top of her being such a talented photographer. Christian will listen to your vision for your engagement and wedding photos, and then make them a reality.

d helped us through every step of the process. My now husband and I had never had professional photos together and Christian made it easy and comfortable! She was a joy to work with during all of our sessions and the photos turned out amazing, of course! I would absolutely recommend Christian for any who is looking for a professional yet fun photographer!

s came out better than we could have imagined. 10/10 would recommend her services.

must have, we looked through it so many times because we couldn't get over how beautiful it was. It tells the story of our wedding day perfectly and we can't wait to display it in our home and share it with all of our friends and family. When Christian sent us all of the photos from our wedding day we couldn't even pick just one favorite, each and every one was breathtaking. We were amazed by how many photos she captured from our wedding day!! We are going to treasure these photos for the rest of our lives! Hiring Christian was the best decision we made, and we can't wait to hire her again in the future!

o lots of poses, who had an eye for lighting/composition, and someone who worked with all kinds of couples in their work. Christian truly stood out for her amazing work—in particular, her candids made us want to book her! Before, during, and after our wedding, Christian has been a total pro. I always knew we were in good hands. On the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond—helping with boutonnieres, laying down her jacket so my dress wouldn’t get muddy (thank you, Christian!), and corralling family and guests. We didn’t have an engagement session, since we live in NY, and aren’t super comfy in front of a camera usually, but Christian knew how to make us loosen up. She got our sneak peek to us two days (!) after the wedding, and I still remember the tears, laughs, and smiles we shared as we looked through! Now that we have our full gallery, those feelings are even stronger. Christian captures the emotion of the wedding—the feel, the little moments, the happiness, the laughter. We asked her to just be creative and do whatever called to her, and we are SO happy we did–she is so talented and has an incredible eye. We are so glad we chose her as her photographer, I would 100000/10 recommend you do the same!

ur photos, her dedication and passion shone through. On our special day, Christian seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments and emotions we didn't even realize were happening. Her ability to see and freeze those fleeting instances in time is nothing short of remarkable. But it wasn't just her skill that impressed us; it was the personal touch she brought to every interaction. Christian took the time to understand our story, our personalities, and our vision for the day. This genuine connection translated into photographs that felt like more than just images – they felt like cherished memories. In the midst of the whirlwind that is a wedding day, Christian was a calming presence. Her professionalism and reassuring demeanor put everyone at ease, resulting in authentic smiles and genuine expressions. It's evident that she loves what she does, and that love is reflected in the timeless beauty of her work. As we flipped through the album, each photo evoked the emotions and joy we experienced that day. Christian didn't just capture pictures; she captured the essence of our love story. If you're searching for a photographer who not only possesses incredible talent but also understands the personal significance of your moments, look no further than Christian. She will turn your wedding memories into a visual masterpiece that you'll treasure for a lifetime!

our first time being photographed and she made us feel comfortable and relaxed even with our crazy dog running around. Our wedding photos turned out amazing! She was able to efficiently capture all family photos and bridal party photos (even with 8 groomsmen wrangle) so me and my husband could spend time enjoying our wedding. The second shooter she had with her was great as well. I had multiple wedding guests comment how they never noticed our photographer and never felt like there was a camera in their face. Even looking at some of our pictures I thought “oh wow I didn’t even see Christian around at that moment taking the photo.” I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christian to a family member or friend! We couldn’t be happier with our photos!

in my head but she did! 100% recommend ! Communication was amazing !

engagement), to our wedding day, she made our experience so comfortable. It felt like we had known her for years. She is truly a professional with a wonderful gift, and the way she carries herself is with such sweet grace and kindness. She was open to any suggestions and willing to hike in the freezing cold and in the sweltering heat to get THE shot. She handles the stress of a wedding day with ease. We highly recommend her and are so grateful to have met her!!

e also being kind and approachable. On wedding day, she did a great job of managing friends and family with efficiency yet also with patience and grace. Her photos are beautiful and timeless, and I'm so happy I'll have them to look back on for years to come. I highly recommend working with Christian!

otos. Starting with our engagement photos, Christian made us feel SO comfortable. Her pictures captured who we are incorporating some of the things we love most (e.g., trees and our dog, Mylo). The wedding day was seamless. Christian was so efficient and made sure to get all of the important photos we asked for and many many more. The turnaround time on all of the photos was stupidly short and the photos came out so amazing. I would book her again and again.

rwhelming but as soon as I met with Christian I knew she was the one for us! She allows you to discuss your vision and she makes it come to life!! She is extremely knowledgeable and always there to answer any questions we had. Not only does Christian know how to style you like a model and make you feel comfortable when taking pictures she is also so personable and you’ll end up wanting to be her best friend! I loved how she kept the whole day on track and can wrangle a crowd on wedding day. She was so much more than just our wedding day photographer…she was there to help me button AND bustle my dress, she would text my planner if I needed something, and she makes you laugh! Something that was important to me was to be able to enjoy cocktail hour after the ceremony for at least 15 min and she made it happen by being so organized with all the big group shots that we had 30 minutes to join cocktail! And to add to her greatness she sent us wedding sneak peaks 1 day after our wedding and the ENTIRE ALBUM within 2 weeks!!!! All our family and friends have also told us multiple times how much they loved Christian and her stunning pictures! She is really the best, check out her Instagram to see for your self. I’d choose her over and over again as our wedding photographer and look forward to be able to use her again for other events in the future! Austin and I adore you, Christian!!

is! Her website made booking and scheduling seamless and stress free while her personality made the process fun and enjoyable. My husband and I felt so comfortable from the first moment we met Christian for our engagement shoot. Which is a huge compliment because we both have a tendency to be coy and awkward in front of cameras. By the time of our wedding date, Christian felt like our friend and we were more than comfortable being behind her lens once again. I love that Christian welcomes your wedding day photography vision and goes above and beyond to make sure it comes to fruition. I cannot wait to frame and cherish our wedding day photos forever! Christian, thank you so much for your sweat and hard work. On such a hectic day, you provided calmness and a helping hand while delivering the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. I will sing your praises to any and everyone forever!

nd stuck to it down to the minute. This made the day flow beautifully and ensured we got all the photographs we wanted. She cultivated such a wonderful experience. I am shocked at how she truly captured every moment of the day. From the littlest details to the biggest moments, she was there! The quality of her work is beyond anything I’ve ever seen before. Christian is a dream. And she gave us the gift of capturing our dream day in a way we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

eam from engagement shoots through the wedding day. If you are looking for a great photographer - look no further!!!

t ease. We were extremely nervous about 'posing' for our engagement photos. Within minutes, she made us feel like naturals as she encouraged us to be ourselves, while giving us simple guidance. She photographed our wedding day absolutely perfectly! The intimate moments, the candid shots, all the important group shots, and the list continues. I cannot wait to work with Christian again. If only we could bring her along on all our life adventures. We will forever be grateful for the memories we have because of the special moments captured on film.

questions we may have had. Our family and friends could not believe how beautiful the photos were, and for those who were unable to make it they were still able to feel a part of the moment. We will definitely be looking for an excuse to use Christian again in the future! If you're looking for an amazing photographer, she's it!

same words: a warm and high quality human! She was extremely organized and responsive in the months leading up to our wedding, bringing reassurance and calmness to a very stressful season. On the wedding day, she was no different. Christian really knows what she's doing! She makes directing and staying on a schedule look effortless. If you're like me and feel awkward taking photos, then Christian is for you! She made the process feel fun, relaxing, and natural. Her warm and moody editing perfectly brought out our fall color palette and outdoorsy venue. Our family and friends described her photos as "magical, incredible, fairytale/wedding magazine/pinterest inspiration board level gorgeous!" We couldn't agree more :) You will only regret NOT booking Christian. We are her #1 fans!!

d with a hurricane coming through and got beautiful indoor and umbrella photos. I’m not at all a natural with posing but she gives great cues. Highly recommend!!

capturing the "moment" - there are a lot of skilled photographers out there, but Christian's photos has the magic of bringing you back in time. When you look at the photos she took of your special day, it brings up that emotion you had at that moment. We got our wedding photos back today and looking through them we felt like we relived the day - the joy, the nervousness, the laughter and tears, these emotions are captured in her photos, wrapped in the soft romantic and vintage style editing. Aside from being an amazing photographer, Christian is also very adaptable and knows how to make us feel comfortable. Our make up took longer on our wedding day which caused some delays, I was worried we weren't going to be able to take all the photos we want, but Christian very quickly made new adaptions to timeline and got us all the shots we wanted, we ended up getting way more photos than we were originally promised. Oh and did I mention her turnaround time? Our wedding was on Oct 8 and less than 3 weeks later we already got all of our photos back! Knowing that this is the busiest time of the year for weddings I'm super impressed! Thank you Christian for everything!!

before, but Christian helped us to feel comfortable while having a great time. With Christian, I never had to worry or plan before our engagement shoot or wedding. Having a photographer you could fully trust allowed us to focus on the wedding and not worry if our photographer was going to get all of the pictures we wanted. Every time Christian delivered our pictures we were blown away by her work. Christian is truly one of a kind, she captured the most special moments which we will always cherish.

t us right on time. My husband and I are usually quite awkward for posed photos, but she knew how to work with and pose us, and she made it all so easy, light and fun. If you're looking for someone that can meet & work with you where you're at, even with weather related challenges (did I mention it rained? ;-)), and have extraordinary results, then I highly recommend Christian!

pecial day to happen so that it can be our turn. She is so flexible and accommodating. If things were stressful, you won’t be able to tell. She remains so calm and collected. We adore Christian and cannot wait to print our photos. We have had so many compliments. She will not disappoint.

to get us to do what she wanted. We are usually awkward during pictures, but this was nowhere close to uncomfortable. She was also very flexible when it came to adding some extra shots to the list on the spot, even though it was close to storming outside. We would recommend her any day.

easure to work with and navigated changing circumstances to our day of wedding plans due to rain with ease and grace. She worked really well with our other vendors and went above and beyond, even helping to carry my dress when walking outside for photos! I’m so grateful to have our capturing such special moments.

mmunicated and how well she managed to capture every moment without us even knowing she was there. She was super professional and communicative and I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!
