    AMAZING!!!

    Cristina Pruitt Photography was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day!!! From the very beginning, her professionalism and clear communication made my husband and I feel completely at ease. She seamlessly collaborated with our vendors, capturing every special moment with incredible skill and attention to detail— we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Highly recommend hiring her for your wedding!!!

    Stunning photos, disappointing experience.

    We hired Cristina for our engagement photos & wedding because of her incredible talent and artistry, and the photos she delivered were absolutely beautiful. However, there were several disappointments that significantly impacted our experience. Communication throughout the process was inconsistent; I often had to follow up on messages because I wouldn’t get a reply. Our photo gallery was also delivered later than the timeline stated in the contract, which was frustrating. The most upsetting issue, however, was that a key photo—a picture of me (the bride) with my mom—was completely missed. The only image of us together was a candid shot where we weren’t even looking at the camera. I reached out the same day the gallery was delivered, thinking the other photos may have been overlooked during upload. Instead of addressing the concern thoughtfully, Cristina brushed it off, downplayed its importance, and took no accountability. When I later expressed how deeply disappointed I was, she completely ignored my feedback. This lack of professionalism was extremely disheartening, especially for such a meaningful moment. While Cristina’s talent is undeniable, the experience as a whole fell short of expectations. Professionalism and communication are just as important as the quality of the photos, and unfortunately, I cannot confidently recommend her based on my experience.

    Hi Keala, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your kind words about the beauty of the photos I delivered. It was an honor to capture your engagement and wedding, and I truly value the trust you placed in me for such significant moments. I’m sorry to hear that parts of your experience fell short of your expectations. Regarding the photo of you and your mom, I worked directly from the questionnaire you completed prior to your wedding, which listed the formal photos most important to you. The requested image of you, your mom, and your groom was delivered, and I also provided an additional edited version focusing solely on you and your mom to give you another option. Your gallery also contains over 100 images featuring your mom in candid, emotional moments, which I aimed to capture thoughtfully and artistically. As for the delay in delivering your gallery, I take full responsibility for the late timeline. Unfortunately, I faced unforeseen personal challenges, including illness in my family and being almost nine months pregnant at the time. I communicated this to you during the process and appreciate your patience during that period. I always strive to maintain open and clear communication with my clients, and I regret if my efforts fell short in this instance. I value all feedback as an opportunity to grow and improve, and I appreciate the chance to reflect on your concerns. Thank you again for allowing me to document such a meaningful chapter in your life. I wish you and your family all the best moving forward. Warm regards, Cristina

    Most thoughtful and hard-working photographer!

    I love working with Cristina! If I could work with her for every single wedding I would. She is the most hard-working photographer in this industry. She really gets to know her clients, and finds out the smallest details about them and their story to help her and everyone else make sure they have the perfect day. Her style of photography is also incredible, you can actually see the personalities of her clients come alive in her photos because she really makes them feel so comfortable and confident in front of the photographer. You really cannot do any better than Cristina, she will take great care of you throughout your planning process and of course on the actual day as well!

    Thank you, Cristina

    My (now) husband and I hired Cristina to capture our big day, and she was exactly what we needed. I've never been super comfortable with having my photo taken, I feel awkward, unattractive, etc., but Cristina was amazing at putting me at ease, and got the absolute best version of us on film. She is fantastic at capturing the light, and captured our personalities even. Love her, will definitely be using her services for any future photography needs.

    My Wedding Photographer!

    Cristina Pruitt was so perfect!!! I could have not chosen someone better to captured my precious day. I'm very picky with my photography and usually I have a vision in mind. Cristina not only understood me but captured exactly what I was looking for and exceeded my expectations. Cristina has an eye for detail and is a master in her craft! She mades us laugh, and was a delight to be around while making you feel comfortable. If you want a great photographer who prioritizes his clients, captures real moments, and delivers beautiful photos Cristina is your girl!

I feel so blessed to have officially started my business in early 2020. (What a time to build a business!) I've always loved taking pictures of my friends and being out in nature, capturing the images that would show others the beauty around us. Professionally speaking, after working full time in design, I chose to pursue a dream and work more flexible hours so I could build my portfolio and spend more time with my family.
Depends on the package. All packages will allow you to get a minimum of 15 edited photos. Weddings are separate and will depend on details of contract, hours, etc.
You will get a beautifully curated online Gallery that you can download digital prints from! I use Pic-time and I have absolutely loved the ease of the platform. You can order prints, create albums and so much more!
Yes. If there is something specific you're needing retouched, please be sure to mention it prior to your session to ensure we're able to do it!
Most sessions can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on the package and session. Weddings are 9-10 weeks!
Fill out the 'Inquire' form and I'll respond within 24-48 hours. Weekends are typically my busy times so if I do not get back within 48 hours please take into consideration Saturday and Sunday are my family days and I will get back in touch after 1 business day.
Absolutely. My background is in Interior Design and I'm always happy to give my point of view or make suggestions. After your event is booked I send out a guide to help you prepare for the big day!
Currently, for portrait sessions I book 3-6 months out. Please message me if it's for an event has a strict timeline. For weddings I am booking through Fall of 2024
Whatever is most comfortable for you! Let's chat! I would love to help you plan!
