Chi was fabulous! We have a large family and sometime a difficult crowd to work with, but she was able to accomplish everything as just one photographer. She also had lots of patience with children. We really enjoyed having her around on our day!

Chi handled the photography for both our engagement and wedding photos. In both situations, we couldn't have been more pleased with our photography services from Chi. She was flexible, friendly and creative. And she provided our finished photos to us weeks before we expected them.
GUEST

GUEST
We couldn't have been more thrilled with the way our wedding was photographed. Each moment and expression was captured beautifully. We loved the range of emotion and how she creativity documented even the smallest detail.
Her professionalism and respect was second to none. Although she is incredibly talented, she is open to suggestion and captures that special moment you've been looking for.
We highly recommend Chi Photography for any special occasion, and will use her talents as family begins to grow.

Chi was an absolute delight to work with! She would answer my emails immediately and without delay. I planned my whole wedding via email and over the web. She was extremely easy to work with and produced fabulous photos! I can't thank her enough for the excellent job she did capturing my special day. I trusted her completely when working with her on my big day. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Chi is the best photographer we have ever had. One who takes the ideas that you have, combines the ideas of her own and makes the best picture. She is punctual, easy-going and very professional. Chi loves to take pictures and you can tell with the pictures she took of our family. She will be the one we call, when we need our family pictures updated. We can only hope that she stays in this business for the many years to come!!!

Peter and I LOVED the pictures! It was so hard to pick which ones we wanted blown up because they were all so impressive. Our guests were so amazed at how professional you were, yet acted as you too were having a good time. It didn't seem like work for you which made everyone else more relaxed. Professionalism was at a premium with you yet you were descrete and most importantly - you understood what Peter and I were aiming for - exceptional pictures that reflected the fun atmosphere of our wedding and reception. By viewing our pictures (over and over again!) we get the true feeling that we had on our wedding day. Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives!

We went with the express package that Chi offers and were very pleased. We had a very informal wedding and didn't want a lot of posed shots and Chi did exactly that for us. We did some standard bride and groom shots, but everything else was candid. Chi blended in so well with the crowd, that everyone kept asking if there was a photographer even there! The photos and the experience were incredible!
Thank you for your time!

Chi has to be the very best wedding photographer ever! She was very professional and affable. She captured EVERY candid moment. She also took beautiful posed pictures. Chi moved the "after ceremony, posed picture time" along smoothly. She was great at giving directions to the bridal party and family. SHe was very organized. Chi was never in the way. She allowed our wedding day to unfold. And thanks to her, we have beautiful wedding pictures to prove it. Even our guests commented on what a wonderful photographer she was! We highly recommend Chi Photography!!!
Chi was fabulous to work with for our wedding. She was easy going, flexible, and easy to communicate with whether in person, over the phone, or by e-mail. Leading up to the wedding, we did an engagement shoot, and when we saw the pictures, we were in awe at how genuine every image was. Then at the wedding, she only exceeded our expectations. She blended into the event in such a way that a couple of guests told us they saw the photographer once but were amazed to see themselves in several of the photos. She even managed to get a picture of about every guest that attended. Chi’s ability to catch the perfect expression is truly amazing. Though we did do posed shots, she always managed to catch the real moment, and it takes you back to the moment every time you look at the image.
From the planning to the actual wedding day Chi was amazing to work with. She honored all of our special requests and took any and all photos that we wanted. She was easy to work with and when it came to the actual wedding we did not even notice her. We received all of our photos only two weeks after the wedding! When we saw the photographs, it became apparent that Chi was actually everywhere and captured all the great moments of our wedding day. The final product was great. It was truly a pleasure working with her
"We were very pleased with Chi and the great photos of our wedding! She was very kind and easy to work with, while at the same time professional and organized. She kept us informed throughout our engagement and planning process, and she always kept what we wanted in mind. On our wedding day, Chi was there for all the important moments and took great posed as well as candid shots, without getting in anyone's way or view....it was like she wasn't even there! We have wonderful photographs of our special day, thanks to Chi and the great service she provided for us!!"
“I'd be more than happy to let the world know how amazing you are at photography! You were the creative genius behind the photos on my album cover. You saw the finished product of the shot while you were staring at an old, decrepit stairwell! I love the natural element your photography philosophy provides, rather than the stiff, boring studio photos. Besides there's no better background than that which the Lord God made! Thanks, again, for your amazing talent!”
“My husband, Mark, and I were married outside Charleston. Chi's photography captured the day perfectly. Chi's photos have a way of telling a story. I love to look back at our wedding pictures because it is like reliving the best day of my life all over again. I will definitely use Chi in the future.”
“I had seen Chi's work before I chose her to do our family pictures and just fell in love with it. She has tremendous skill and when she looks through a camera lens she captures people, families interacting, her pictures come alive. Chi made the whole process very easy, she gave suggestions on locations, time and attire. We took a large group picture and multiple smaller group pictures in a variety of settings, Chi even got my two year old nephew to smile, which seemed impossible. I love the photographs I received and I look forward to getting my final prints.”

I worked with Chi Photography on Feb12,2011. They did an excellent job that made my bride very very happy. The photos looked great and it was a pleasure working with them.
What amazing work you are doing in Charleston. What creativity on this most recent shoot on the playground. Your work with color and light is beautiful. Im not a photographer, but a singer but even i can see true talent. I would recommend you gladly. Best, Raquel Lozano, www.lozanomusic.com

About Chi Photography
I love wedding photography because each wedding is an adventure. Using a photojournalistic approach, I capture the spontaneity of the day in my images. I like to minimize the posed, formal side of wedding photography. Weddings are too exciting and fun to stand around posing for pictures for two hours with your family!
I prefer to capture people experiencing emotions in their most organic forms. The tenderness of a father's tears. The gleam in the groom's eyes when he sees his bride for the first time. The passion of the bridal kiss. These are the memories you want to cherish for the next 50 years.
As a photojournalistic wedding photographer it is my job to see everything, be everywhere and be invisible.

Engagement: Dress as you would on a date. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. If possible, avoid prints or plaids, or colors that clash with your fiancé. Ladies should try to wear non-smearing long wear lipstick whenever possible. Please bring a hairbrush, and make-up bag if possible in case we need to darken your make-up for the camera. However, it is recommended that you start out with makeup as your naturally apply it. Engagement photos should show your fun-loving side. Normally we shoot these photos fairly candid and artistically, but we will also take some posed shots for use in the newspaper.
Bridals: Bridals are the “glam” shots of your wedding documentary. These are meant to show you at your most glowing and beautiful. If possible, it is recommended that you have your hair professionally styled, and have help with your make-up application. If you need a recommendation, please don't hesitate to call. We know of several outstanding hair and make up people at reasonable prices. Please come to your bridal shoot already bustled. Wear tennis shoes for comfort, under your dress. In most shots, we will not see your feet. However, bring your wedding shoes, or another pair of dressy shoes to use in the shots that might need them. Bring your veil, tiara, and gloves if you have them, as well as any other jewelry you might wear on your wedding day. Bringing a friend of family member to this shoot is recommended.
Two other things you will need are a plain inexpensive bed sheet in the approximate color of your gown, and a bouquet of some sort. The bouquet does not have to resemble the actually wedding day bouquet and can be something as simple as a bunch of daisies purchased at your local grocery story. Please try to avoid silk flowers as the cameras we use are very accurate and silk flowers simply don’t pass the “muster”.
Also be sure to bring a make-up mirror, brush, and make-up bag. Depending on the sunlight, you may have to adjust your make-up for the camera.
Also keep in mind, depending on the dress material, you may need your dress pressed after the shoot.
Wedding: This is where you get to “lighten-up”. Weddings are shot in a strictly documentary Photojournalist style, so being yourself and enjoying your day is what is required here. We will have a small session of formal photography, but in most cases it is asked that you and your wedding party totally ignore the cameras. We understand that it will be hard at first, but try not to look and smile into the camera unless asked to. We will try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Outside of the short session of formal photography, we will never attempt to pose you. Our photography is meant simply to record your day as it happens. We feel it is important to record it in real emotions, and expressions instead of a series of posed photographs. Be aware that we will be with both parties as they prepare for the ceremony. These are often the bride and groom’s favorite photos. If you are uncomfortable with having shots taken while you prepare, please let us know and we will find other things to photograph in the meantime.
