We loved working with Christine! She was very professional and personable and made the whole experience enjoyable. We really appreciated that she went out of her way to make the trip all the way to Leesburg from Annandale a few weeks before the wedding to check out our venue and pick out the best places to take the majority of our photos. The day of the wedding ended up being rainy, so some of the places we had chosen were muddy, but she was very flexible and worked with the space we ended up using. She arrived early the morning of the wedding and took many photos of my bridal party and I getting ready. She even organized the first look photos of my husband and I by choosing a great location and coordinating with our maid of honor and best man. During the reception, she made her way around the tables and the dance floor and got some really great candid photos. Overall, we were extremely pleased with our photos and loved that she was able to get so many different angles and views of each shot. We highly recommend her!

I must start saying that this is the first negative review that I’ve ever wrote in my entire life because I’m not the kind of person that likes to risk other’s people job and business but since the photographer Christine Eckstein did everything in her hands to make my life miserable during the time she provided her services, I’m writing about my awful experience so that other brides won’t suffer and be dissapoited the way I am. Sadly, you will never truly know how painful, stressful, consuming and frustrating has been working with her but I’m going to try to summarize the reasons why I’m so unhappy with her work and how dreadful my experience has been: 1. She always had a “no” or a “but” to my requests, arguing with me all the time and saying that she has her own way of doing things. It was very clear for me from the beginning that her ego wasn’t going to let me get to her and make her listen to what I wanted and expected from her services. 2. I bought so many props that don’t even appear on the pictures because of the angles in which she took them and because she never told us that we where blocking them most of the time. 3. In most of the pictures she took pictures from my back or of my face covered by my hair while my husband’s face is the main focus, making me look like some random woman. 4. She didn’t edit most of the pictures and the ones that she did was obvious that she doesn’t know anything at all about editing. 5. She doesn’t have imagination and creativity. She took all the pictures from the same angles, she is not willing to walk around and look for different perspectives. All of my pictures from the ceremony were taken from the back and showing our backs. 6. She takes hundreds of pictures and sends you just a few because according to her she didn’t like them. A wedding is a once in a lifetime event and now I would never ever have all the pictures I wanted to have from that day. 7. I gave her a list with all the objects that I wanted her to photograph and she didn’t follow it. 8. There are pictures where our eyes are nearly closed. Making us look drunk or in drugs. I really doubt that that was the only or the best take that she shoot at those particular moments, but she chose to send them anyway instead of sending her best shots. Understand that I’m not happy or feel any kind of pleasure writing this review but she was wasting my money from the beginning for not being respectful, profesional or faithful to my requests. Like I said before, a wedding is a once in a lifetime event and no bride should be stressed, disapointed or sad on her wedding day due to a mediocre photographer. Christine Eckstein it’s just a little girl playing with a fancy camera.

Christine helped put us at ease from the beginning and truly captured the uniqueness of our relationship. Never having professional pictures taken before, we were a little apprehensive of the process from the start. She was great to work with, took the time to answer all of our questions, and gave us tips to make the experience fun and successful. Her turn around time was wonderful and we were able to use the pictures from our holiday portrait session with Christine to make perfect holiday cards! I've had endless compliments from friends and family about the quality of the photos (I don't think they knew we could look so good!). We seriously cannot wait to have another reason to celebrate and add to our gorgeous collection of photos! If you're in search for pictures for any occasion reach out to Christine immediately, you won't regret it!

Christine did a wonderful job capturing my husband's and my goofy personalities during a shoot for our first anniversary. She worked with me in the days before the session sharing pose and location ideas through Pinterest to make sure she really understood what it was that we were looking for, and she made us feel extremely comfortable when taking our pictures.
