About Visual Folklore

Christine Semmler

Owner

I love to work the "Candid on Purpose" style - as trends move towards candid, free-framed shots and people are more and more used to having their photo taken (hello selfie world!) it's easier to really be in the moment! I can't wait to capture YOUR moments!

I really believe in working for my couples. I'm not just a photographer in the days leading up to your wedding. I am a vendor networking manager, a planner, and a cheerleader. On the actual big day I've been a florist, a cake decorator, a seamstress and a makeup artist. It is not below me to help put your shoes on or tie your ties. I am there to HELP - help keep you calm, help avoid drama, and help BRING THE FUN! I love weddings and I can't be a part of yours!

Christine is not the most kind, caring and fun photographer, but she’s the best. I knew exactly the style I wanted and Christine exceeded those expectations. Her ability to capture anything and everything you ask of her is remarkable. Anything I asked of her, she did without hesitation. She made our wedding so fun! Not only could go on and on about her and her amazing photography, but she is so professional, her communication and response time is amazing and just an all around good person.
AMAZING!!

As a couple that hasn’t taken professional photos before we were a bit nervous to get engagement photos and to see how our wedding photos would turn out but Christine made it fun, boosted our confidence, and her work turned out AMAZING! She got countless breathtaking photos that we continue to get compliments on. She got the photos back to us so so quickly too. I will forever be grateful for her and appreciate the relationship we were able to form from it all!!
Amazing!

I was so thrilled to work with Christine. From our first phone call to our last shot she was incredible. As a person she brings an amazing sense of humor that had us laughing the whole day. Which is so important for such a long and emotional day, professionally she was truly unbeatable fixing and guiding our group to get not only great shots of the bride and groom but the entire wedding party. she is incredibly organized and her communication and dedication are unmatched. We also received our photos back so fast that I swear I was still glowing( I mean what?!!!! Amazing)

Christine took our engagement and wedding photos. She was professional, easy going and invested in capturing “us.” Taking “good” photos is not what Christine does; she captures precious moments in time with easy that you will cherish for years to come. She’s willing to go the extra mile to get the best shot (this includes climbing over boulders). We would highly recommend working with Christine. You will not regret picking her.

I would LOVE to have you on my calendar as early as possible, but did you get tired of waiting? Do you just want to have awesome photos of your ceremony? Call me, I'll be there in 48 hours! I've even picked a wedding up THE DAY IT HAPPENED. I am Ready for you!

I like the be the HPIC - the head photographer in charge. Really, I like to be the only photographer because I love to control the whole photographic product. That way at the end of the day I know exactly what images to expect to put into your gallery! I am really good at finding a day-of assistant if I need any help with anything!

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I kind of "Golden Rule" the photos, if I wouldn't want it to be in my picture it doesn't stay.

No, I love to freeze the moments. I have great friendors (friend vendors) though and we work together great! Just ask!

I like to do a sneak peek within a week of your wedding (I'm ALSO excited to see them!) and the entire gallery within a month!

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 6 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my trusted colleagues - I'll still edit the photos they take so you get that Visual Folklore magic!
