    Erin and Ben made us feel safe, understood, and embraced from the moment we first met them. As a same-sex couple, we needed wedding photographers who would help tell our love story with ease and authenticity. Chrisman Studios more than surpassed our expectations. Our guests can't stop talking about our beautiful and innovative photographs!

    There is simply no one out there better than Chrisman Studios. No one! They are professional and creative and produce the most stunning, magazine worthy photography. Since using them for our wedding in 2007, they have shot all of our family weddings and numerous friends’ weddings. Everyone who meets Ben and Erin adore them. Can’t recommend them enough!

    The Chrismans' superpower is their elevated professionalism and ability to make you feel like your best self. You could say I found my wedding photographers before I found my husband. I've known Ben and Erin for over 15 years. Over the years, I've worked with them numerous times over the years. Ben & Erin photographed my engagement session in Scottsdale, AZ. Then they photographed our wedding weekend in Lake Como, Italy. Every photo they took from our trip in Italy is my most prized possession! It was like having friends photograph the first most important day of my life. My pictures are emotional, sentimental, and vibrant. While I was living in the moment at my wedding, they were documenting moments I didn't even see happening. Today, I cherish the variety of pictures they captured of my Mom and me at my wedding, her happiest of times, and now, all I have left to remember her. She loved Ben & Erin because they are not just friendly people, they are intelligent, fun to be around, adventurous and kind-hearted people. Above all, they are the most communicative and creative photographers I have ever met. They always surpass my expectations. Next month, we will hire them to photograph our business headshots in Charleston, SC. I trust them to make me look good and capture my best-looking self (maybe even better than myself). They know the right thing to do in every moment. I wouldn't just recommend them, I'd tell you to hire them before they book up.

    Ben and Erin are in a league of their own. My husband and I hired them to photograph our wedding in New York, and it was a decision that literally changed our lives. We had not met them before our wedding, but from the moment they showed up they were ready to become a part of our family. Since our wedding, they have become the "official photographers" of our family and have photographed weddings and events for siblings, cousins, friends, etc. The photos from our wedding far exceeded what we could have ever expected! In addition to being amazing photographers, they took a genuine interest in who we are and were able to get photos unlike anything we had ever seen before. They work SO hard to capture every single moment, and you'll find them under chairs, tables and in unimaginable places to get the kinds of shots they're known for. On our wedding day, we planned a 3 hour break for portraits. Ben and Erin ran around with us to capture portraits in front of our favorite backdrops. They were ready to do *anything* to get us the photos we envisioned. Erin even gave me her jacket to protect my dress at one point in our portrait adventures. With their photos, they managed to make us see a place we had lived in for 10 years differently than we had ever seen it before. I can still stare at our photos for hours and remember exactly how we felt. They captured every single thing that happened, and in a way that our own eyes can't see. When it was time to create our album, they put incredible amounts of thought and care into making it perfect. They're willing to suggest ideas, and happy to work with yours. They showed us samples of albums and spent hours talking with us about what they thought would be best for us and our photos. The end result is an amazing wedding album that does justice to their photos. One of the things that I appreciate the most about Ben and Erin is how they truly get to know each and every one of their couples. If you ever ask them about a specific wedding or photo, they can tell you everything about the couple, wedding, family members, friends, etc. as though they've been a part of each family. When you look at the types of photos that they're able to capture, you realize that much of it is because people feel comfortable opening up to them and their cameras. They have a rare gift for photography and relationships. If you can find a date that Ben and Erin are free for your wedding, take it! Hiring them was the single best wedding planning decision we made. We can't wait for more family weddings to have an excuse to get in front of their cameras!
