GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hello & welcome! I’m Christa Rene Robinson, the founder of Christa Rene Photography. I’m so excited that you are considering me to be your portrait photographer. I believe that getting to know my clients is the best way to ensure an awesome experience, so I’d love to begin by telling you a little about me!

- I married the SWEETEST man, Edward, on September 14, 2018!
-We've been fixing up a home together, and it's a long process but SO rewarding!
- I graduated in May of 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in business and a minor in photography.
- I started my business in 2013 when I was in college and only 18 years old.
- I live in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina but am always up for traveling!
- One of my FAVORITE cities besides Greenville is Charleston, SC.
- I’ve photographed over 80 weddings, and I’ve lost track of portrait sessions!
- I'm convinced I could eat Chick-fil-A everyday and never get sick of it!

When I was preparing to be Edward's wife, I came to realize a new view of photography. I realized more than ever how precious this time is. I looked back at our engagement session constantly, and relived the laughter we shared. I understood more than ever how excited my brides are to get to their wedding day, and how surreal this season is for them! Being engaged was such an exciting time of my life! And knowing that I get to help other engaged brides during this season, and provide them with the memories to enjoy years and years after their wedding day fuels me. Our day was perfect but felt like a fast-forwarded movie! Thankfully, we have beautiful pictures so we can enjoy the details we missed, the moments that went by too fast, and the teary ceremony for a lifetime!

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE JOYFUL, SOUTHERN-LOVING, CLASSIC BRIDE

our philosophy


I know at this point your brain must be going 100 miles an hour trying to get the details for your wedding together, and that’s ok! My goal is to assist you in the wedding photography process so that you feel completely prepared and calm about your big day.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I consider it an honor to be given the opportunity to capture this special day. I focus on giving my couples the best experience by doing my best to serve them throughout the entire planning process and wedding day.

My job often not only entails wedding photography, but also a dress carrier, veil fixer, boutonniere pinner, and constant cheerleader! My goal is to create a relaxed and personal experience by offering light, elegant, and joyful images all the while making sure my brides are completely prepared for the amazing photographic experience they deserve! After getting engaged myself, I realized even more what a beautiful, special time this is. Photography is SO personal, and getting to know my couples personally is a gift and allows me to capture their joy even better!

After getting married, there’s nothing I love more than enjoying the printed pictures of our wedding day. There’s a print by our bed I wake up and stare out, feeling all of the emotions all over again! It’s so special having tangible memories of our day! 

Twenty, 30 years from now, when you’re telling your love story to your children (or grandchildren), what will you show them? Will you show your Facebook album? Will you show them your phone? No, because they won’t be there.

This is why every client that chooses Christa Rene Photography has options for albums, gorgeous wall hangings, and prints! Digitals live on usbs, in desk drawers, on the crowded cloud where you’ll never find them, places they cannot be seen & enjoyed.

We believe when you hire a photographic artist, you deserve to experience that investment over and over again. Relive this time over and over again, and display it for the world to see! As industry experts, there’s nothing we love more than providing you with this joy!

officially book

YOUR TIMELINE

I love taking the time to get to know my brides over a cup of coffee (on me of course!) or a phone call before booking. This time allows us to see if we’d be
a great fit for the best wedding experience possible.

After we meet, if you are convinced that we’re a great fit and are interested in booking, I’ll send you an email with a contract and request a $500 deposit to officially reserve your date! I’ll also mail you a welcome package that includes a 70- page bridal guide that walks you through my entire process, gives planning tips for the wedding day, and offers an in-depth look at what to expect!

This is the perfect time for you and your fiancé to practice being in front of the camera before the wedding day. I'LL GET TO KNOW YOU EVEN BETTER AS A COUPLE, AND YOU'LL BE EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE BEING IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA ON THE WEDDING DAY!

After photographing over 80 weddings, I love helping my brides build the best timeline for their day! This allows you to have the perfect amount of time for me to capture the images of your dreams!

You made it! After all of your hard work planning and waiting, we come to your wedding day! I'll be your personal cheerleader, and will guide you through the day based on our timeline! You'll be able to relax and enjoy as I capture the joy of this day!

Within 2 weeks of your wedding day, we'll schedule your reveal session! You'll be able to snuggle with your new husband and see your wedding images for the first time together! We'll also design your album together!

kind words

FROM PAST CLIENTS

“I was so at ease about my wedding day because I could tell she knew exactly what and when things needed to happen! You can tell she just loves what she does. I’ve been married almost 2 months now and have looked through all the pictures dozens of times but can’t get enough!”

- Emily & Jordan

“From the very beginning, I could tell that she was organized, responsive, and attentive to details. Christa truly goes above and beyond in her service. It was well worth the investment for beautiful photos that we can always look back to for a lifetime.”

- Hannah & Daniel

“I cannot thank you enough for being so incredibly amazing that day. You have a heart for the Lord and are one of the most giving people I have ever met. Thank you for being so sweet wedding and capturing everything we had talked about and more. You went out of your way to capture each moment and you did not skip a beat! I am stunned at how you did it! I definitely knew I wanted no one else, but you! You were so sweet to my family! Mark and I will treasure these images. Thank you so much!!!”
-Rebekah & Mark


Do you travel for the engagement session?

I am more than willing to travel for engagement sessions! It’s great when couples use a location that’s special to them. I book engagement sessions at least 2 months in advance and am available to travel up to 60 miles from Greenville, SC.

How many images do we get?

I average 70-100 images per hour that I’m shooting. I love delivering each client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. Since you are given the complete rights to your photos, you will have the ability to print, share, and download your images as much as you want. I LOVE seeing brides share their images!

faq

Is 8 hours enough coverage?

Eight hours is the standard amount of time needed to photograph the entire wedding day from you and your girls preparing, to your reception dancing the night away. The main goal right now is securing your date. You are welcome to add additional coverage when we get closer to the big day and have a good idea of your timeline.

faq

What is your shooting style?

I photograph weddings in a light, southern, classic style. During the wedding day, I do my absolute best to be in control and vocal when needed (e.g., bride and groom portraits, bridal party portraits, family formals, etc.), but I am also aware of when I need to take a step back and be inconspicuous (e.g., ceremony). Another way that I like to prepare to stay on schedule for the wedding day is by sending a questionnaire for you to fill out beforehand that outlines specific details such as family formal combinations. This allows us to be as prepared as possible to capture the shots that we need.
