Happy Friday Everyone!

Thank you to all my wonderful 2026 couples, it’s been an amazing year so far. I have met so many wonderful people along the way.

I still have a few more fabulous weddings to capture this year and I feel totally blessed to be chosen as your photographer.

I am currently working behind the scenes on all the editing and I look forward to sharing more beautiful images on Instagram very soon.

It was an absolute pleasure capturing Hannah & Tom

It was an absolute pleasure capturing Hannah & Tom’s amazing day on behalf of @capturedbycrissi

There was lots of laughter, twerking and pure joy throughout the day!

So thrilled to have received this amazing review, it really does mean so much to receive this wonderful feedback.

‘Chantel photographed our wedding day yesterday and we were absolutely blown away with her. Neither myself or my partner have ever really felt comfortable in front of the camera but Chantel made us feel so much at ease, we both felt extremely relaxed. She was so professional and knew exactly the best style of photos. This morning we woke up to so many messages from our guests saying how much they loved her and had nothing but compliments.
Thank you again for coming to capture our special day. We have nothing but gratitude for you. 100% recommend!!’

There’s something incredibly special about a weddi

There’s something incredibly special about a wedding at the family home.

Flora & Theo chose to celebrate surrounded by the people who mean the most to them, creating a day filled with so much love, laughter and unforgettable moments. From joyful embraces to happy tears and endless smiles, every part of their day felt relaxed, meaningful and completely personal.

It was such a privilege to capture the love shared not only between these two, but also by the wonderful family and friends who made the day so memorable.

Congratulations Flora & Theo, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together.
