Christine Farah Photography

My fiance and I just had our engagement session and Crissy is such a delight to be around! We haven't seen all of the images yet, but she posted several on her blog. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and she does amazing things with light.

She has a wonderfully creative eye, was able to direct us, and make us feel super comfortable even when there were tons of people around. I've been following her blog for a while now and she somehow seems to improve constantly on her already amazing work!

I give her 5 stars for being such a sweet/fun person and for doing beautiful things through her lens.

I will post an update once my wedding comes around!

We have researched many photographers in the LA area and came across Crissy (Christine Farah) on Project Wedding, she also came highly recommended by our coordinator's friend; in my opinion, no one has come close to Crissy's distinctive style. We LOVE her technique of photography, it’s chic, playful yet romantic, natural and soft…WOW! We wanted our wedding photos to be mind-boggling amazing and Crissy exceeded our expectations.

Although our wedding was in LA - We're from the Bay Area and Crissy flew to SF to shoot our engagement photos. She is so easygoing and fun to work with, not to mention very professional. Her laugh is so infectious and her personality is so lovable. Crissy was my sanity on the day of our wedding. There were a few minor kinks during the big day, Crissy saw i was overwhelmed so she took charge and made things flow so smoothly.. I can't thank Crissy enough. Not only is Crissy our magnigicently creative photographer, she is now our friend.

A 5 star rating for Crissy just doesn't justified how awesome she is...
If you want the BEST -- Crissy is your gal!

Crissy is a true talent! We were blown away by our wedding photos and have received compliments from everyone who has seen them. She truly captured the feeling of our day and her fun, fresh, creative ideas made for some awesome pics. Not only is her photography fabulous, but her fun, positive personality was a breath of fresh air. Crissy was calm, patient and organized and managed to get all the needed shots despite the 100 degree temperature, the bridal party running a little late, several wandering family members, etc. She made everyone feel very comfortable and helped make our day very enjoyable.

I HIGHLY recommend Crissy to any bride. Thanks to Crissy and her hubby for capturing our day and for being such awesome, talented people. Can't wait for our 'Liberate the Dress' shoot!

At the time we booked Crissy, she had photographed a handful of weddings and was just beginning to get her name out there. I had seen her work thanks to some Orange County knotties who had free boudoir sessions with her, and I was really amazed by her talent. We had already booked our photographer months before, but there was definitely trouble in paradise, and so I kept Crissy in mind.

At that time, I felt really conflicted: we had already paid a lot of money to our first photographer and didn't want to lose it, but we weren't happy with our engagement pictures either. I got in touch with Crissy by phone during the height of our issues with our first photographer to see if she could be the second shooter for our wedding. I really wanted some creative images, and even at that point, with little (paid) experience under her belt, she was already known for just that. Instead of talking to me as a vendor, Crissy talked to me as a friend and fellow bride, having just gotten married herself, and told me that it was really important to me to be completely happy with my photographer. In short, Crissy gave me the courage to convince my husband into pursuing a photographer we were completely satisfied with. It was a decision that neither my husband nor myself have ever regretted. We met with several photographers before Crissy, but once we met with her (and spent two hours joking around with her and her husband), we knew she was the one. I will never forget what my husband said after we left our initial meeting: "We're hiring her!" Anyone who really knows my husband knows that he's not normally that decisive, but he was obviously very impressed (and for good reason).

What can I say except that Crissy is amazing? She really worked with me to get our engagement pictures taken on the same day as my hair and makeup trial, even though it was on Father's Day. Our engagement pictures were all so beautiful and creative. Within two weeks I had a disc of all 60+ images.

One of the greatest things that Crissy does is get involved with her clients. She helped me with my indecision about flowers by sending me different images of flowers through email. She was the one who gave me the idea for our centerpieces. On my wedding day, she made me feel so good about everything (especially the way I looked) and even took on multiple roles. She helped my hairstylist put my veil in properly and retied my and my woman of honor’s bouquets (which sounds easier than it really was). She sat in the bridal room with me before I went to go see my husband for the first time, and we cried together. I even saw her wiping away tears at our ceremony. She was not only our wedding photographer; she was our friend. I felt really sad when she left for the day, because she had really become part of our lives.

Our wedding photos (900+) are nothing short of amazing. They make me feel like I'm reliving my wedding day again. I laugh and cry while looking at them, just as I laughed and cried on my wedding day. I have gotten so many compliments from so many people about our photos, and I think a lot of people that I know would have used her for their needs, but her prices have now skyrocketed. Still, I have recommended a lot of people to Crissy, because she was, hands down, our best vendor. She was worth every penny. I can honestly say that losing our $400 deposit for our first photographer was so worth it.

Our album is also beautiful. Crissy did a wonderful job designing it and even added in four extra pages for free.

I will definitely be using Crissy for our future needs. She captured such special moments in such a beautiful way that I feel that she is an integral part of our wedding day and our married life.

Chrissy Farah makes you feel comfortable about posing in lingere! She made me feel like I was gorgeous and her photos blew me away! These photos turned out to be not just for my husband,,whose reaction was "Wow!" and "Whoa!"..they were for me as well. They were just what this 50 year old woman needed. I would hire her again!

I love Crissy! I just freaking LOVE HER! She's extremely talented and so genuinely kind hearted! I hired Crissy to take my boudoir pictures for my DH as a wedding gift. My pictures turned out absolutely stunning and my DH was sooo impressed. When you meet Crissy you instantly feel comfortable around her. Crissy and I met at a Starbucks and we ended up talking for 2 hours about weddings and life. During the shoot she was extremely professional and she has a natural talent to channel her creativity through her pictures. She'll never push you to something you're not comfortable doing but more importantly she makes you look like a HOT lady!!!!

***UPDATE***
Crissy just recently shot our Liberate the Dress session and she is simply amazing!!! Super creative and extremely talented!!!!!!

Love Love Love Crissy!
Crissy stepped in at the last minute and saved my Bpics when my original photographer backed out. She really went out of her way to help a complete stranger out.

She is so much fun that I instantly felt comfortable with her and what I had been dreading (being semi-naked and taking photos) turned into a blast.

She is professional, creative, patient, funny, and a fantastic photographer. I am so excited to see the final product and am sure my FI will die when he gets the photo album.

Though I am very happy with the photographer I have for my wedding I would snap up Crissy in a second if I didn't already have one.

Thanks again Crissy. I will be seeing you soon for those pregnancy pics, and baby pics, and .... ;)

WE'RE LOVE CRISSY!!

We found Crissy after doing a lot of blog stalking. It was a delight when we came across her website, and from that moment we knew she was the one! Our engagement photos were hot! She captured only our best side and we even used a 20x30 enlargement from the shoot for our wedding day ceremony. It was a BIG hit with all the guests. During the engagement photos, Crissy was sensitive to our personal preferences...but at the same time adventurous!--those were some of the best pictures we had!

She shares the cutest studio space with Kerrie (Wedding Coord: Platinum Weddings by Kerrie), and they are the BEST team! The best thing about the dynamic is that they are on the same page about so many things! Crissy did everything so perfectly..the professional level of her team was admirable and it definitely kept my nerves calm.

Simply put..Crissy is 100% pure talent~ She really goes all out for each of her clients!

Chrissy did the photography for a friend of mines wedding and she did an amazing job with all the photos. The Bride looked incredible, hire her as soon as you get the chance

Crissy is a ball of energy- any wedding I have the pleasure of working with her on is guaranteed to be an absolute blast. She has a knack for drawing her clients' personalities out of them and making them comfortable in front of her camera. I have seen her start out with the most camera-shy couple; she had them running through fields frolicking around by the end of the day. This is the magic of Crissy- she is a force to be reckoned with, and a top-notch photographer on top of that. She takes great pride in producing unique images each and every time- perfect for every couple looking for a one-of-a-kind take on their day.

I've worked with Christine on numberous events, and she is so sweet, funny, and is the life of the party putting a smile on everyones faces. I love it how she makes everyone so confortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I highly recommend Christine Farah as for a photographer!
