Cincinnati wedding photographers, Gardner Photography & Design  


The Gardners are amazing and my wedding photos are gorgeous! Christie is fun and creative. She really works with you to ensure that you get what you want. She is flexible and able to go with the flow. (I was of course running behind all day long, but she showed up and rolled with it!) There was a sneak peak of photos on facebook THAT night! Poor hubby had to wait for me to quit lookin at the pics. Her turn around is super fast and she puts together a gorgeous video montage.



What an AMAZING wedding photographer. My husband and I just got married in Cincinnati at the Phoenix on November 11, 2011 (yep, that's right 11-11-11) and Christie Gardner was the most professional, talented and fun photographer ever! All of the family on both sides said they loved the wedding pictures she took of our venue, me (the bride) and the entire wedding party. Her talent for capturing both staged and casual photos is the best in Cincinnati. Book her while you can--she is WONDERFUL!



Very fun to work with. We all laughed a lot as we took photos before and after the wedding. On time, flexible and very professional.



Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!! I love the photos that Christie took of our wedding. They are absolutely beautiful! Christie and Andy were extremely professional and delivered everything we ordered. They even provided a photo booth that our guests are still talking about. It was so much fun and we got a lot of fun and wacky photos that we can enjoy for years to come.



Christie and Andy were so fun to work with. Christie was very patient with me, we were running so late and it was a chaos. I had interviewed several photographers but she was the only one who seemed so enthusiastic about me getting married, emailed me back promptly, kept in touch, even helped me with new priest (but still went with our original as it was way too late to change). She makes sure she makes you feel sooo beautiful n your wedding day! I was even worried how my wedding would turn out and had an idea of home made photobooth and she brought all the props and everything! Christie rocks! I will recommend Gardner to everyone I know,and maybe if we renew our vows here in KY I will definitely want them to take our pictures again :) Thanks again!



The Gardners did an EXCELLENT job! Not only did they take shots just as I had requested (candid), but they also had some fun unique ideas and really got involved in all aspects of our day. I felt like they were part of the family and wondered if she was this friendly and sweet to all her brides or if I was just special lol... I would not have changed anything about my day, especialy who took our pictures. We got our book back a week ago and I was overly impressed with the pictures of course and with the quality of the book as well. I will definitly use them in the near futre for other needs for pictures.



I heard about Christie and her husband Andy from a client of mine. When I called to talk to her about prices and everything she was super helpful and willing to work with our budget. We looked at a lot of photographers and the Gardner photography team is definitely the biggest bang for your buck. They are so creative and helpful, and really captured all of the moments we wanted and more!



Christie Gardner and her husband Andy worked as an awesome team. I didn't even notice them during the ceremony and most of the reception, but they caught ALL the shots! They are both very professional and well prepared. They even checked out my venues before the wedding day to plan good shots! They did an amazing job and the price was right for all that we got. The pictures turned out GREAT and they are such a nice couple! I'm so happy we went with them!



Christie and her husband Andy did a fantastic job shooting our engagement and wedding pictures! I was unsure of what I wanted regarding poses, pictures to be taken, and locations. Christie realized how lost (probably from being overwhelmed with the process) I was and really took it upon her self to help me out. I am very grateful for that! They were very professional during the wedding and ceremony and did all the coordinating with the different vendors in order to get the best pictures. Christie is a wonderful and creative person who is full of energy. Her artistic abilities are evident in the pictures. I highly recommend her to any one who is looking for a photographer!



Christie was very flexible to work with our college student budget. She & her husband make a great team: very organized, great communication & responsiveness, down to Earth & very easy to get along with, very flexible with packages, keep their cool during hectic wedding day drama, & are willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get what you want & are happy with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Gardner Photography to anyone. Andy even broke his tooth off at my wedding during dinner (we didn't know until the next day or otherwise would have made him leave to seek medical attention) & still kept taking pictures, if that's not dedication, then I don't know what is!



Wonderful photographer with lots of flexibility and quality photographs! Five stars all around!



Christie Gardner with Gardner Photography and Design was excellent. The quality of the photos, her professionalism and value for cost was the best around. She was fun to work with, and kept everything moving, especially when we were pressed for time (between ceremony and reception) for most of our photos. The final product (our wonderful and beautiful wedding album) was out-of-this-world! It's an amazing keepsake that I love to show off and will be cherished by myself and my husband for years and years to come. If you are looking for a professional photographer, with creativity and quality service, Christie Gardner is the right choice!



Gardner photography was fantastic! They were always punctual, professional and easy to work with. Christie held our hands and made the process very easy on our special day. We love our photos! We would definitely use them again and refer anyone In need if a photographer to them.

She was amazing to work with and gave me everything I wanted in my pictures and more. We have a seperated family and she made it very easy to get pictures and make it comfortable for everyone. Thanks again for the great service. I have given everyone her number! Now we're expecting and I can't wait for her to do our pictures in the future!



Great Photography! Very impressed with quality and flexibility! Very nice photographer!!!!



The absolute best thing that came out of our wedding (well besides now being married to my husband) was meeting and working with Christie and her husband. She took the most amazing photographs,(the clarity of the photos, the little cute moments no one else saw, fun shots, formal shots, attention to back grounds) she really captured the moments and we are so excited to be able to look at our wedding photos in the future and reminisce. She literally captured everything that happened, even things I don't remember because that day was such a blur. Gardner Photography is the one thing that went absolutely right. With all the stress of planning a wedding it was really nice to not have to worry about the photographer. She was always on time, kept in touch, very flexible, affordable and pretty much the awesomest photographer anyone could ask for.



Christie was great to work with - we were so lucky to find her!! She understood all of the aspects of our Wedding Day and it was very important to her that we were happy with the end result. We used her for engagement picutures, my bridal shoot and the wedding - for each event she brought creative ideas, a big smile and great attitude and a desire to achieve the best end result possible. Not to mention, the price was phenominal. I guarantee you won't find a better price for the high quality results given!



What was your favorite wedding photo? Oh my goodness we have so many favorites. I really love how she tried to capture all the details of my dress, jewelry, flowers, and hair.

How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She did a great job and catching everything that was going on. She was very good with doing posed shots as well.




What was your favorite wedding photo? Not sure if I could pick just one! We were thrilled with the photos taken, and the price. Friends couldn't believe the quality and quantity of pictures we received.

How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Christie not only gave us ideas on settings/backgrounds for the pictures, but also took photos requested by us and our family.

What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? No engagement session was done, because we booked so close to our wedding. Our package included several prints, an album and the high resolution images.

How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She never rushed us, which I have been told is quite rare with wedding photographers. She took her time with us, and had a sample of beautiful pictures to us by the next day!




What was your favorite wedding photo? I think my favorite photos are the ones we did at Eden Park. They turned out absolutely gorgeous! And the colors just POP. I'm so glad Christie thought to stop there on our way to the reception!

How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Christie did a great job of getting all the posed shots. What I liked is that she organized it so we did large group shots first and then could send people off to the reception - so, they weren't hanging around (BORED and hungry!). It worked well. For the rest of the shots, I forgot she was even there! I never felt like getting photos was disruptive at all.

What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We got a basic package and then ordered photos from our online gallery. I loved that! Even though we got all the images on DVD, I didn't want to deal with everyone contacting me for photos. So, my family just ordered from the gallery. The print quality is great, and the prices were very good! Like, we didn't pay something crazy like $15 for one 5"x7"! We might still have Christie design an album for us, too.

How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? I'm amazed she got so many photos without everyone blinking or making stupid faces! She was pretty funny and told jokes or had some "tricks" to get everybody smiling - with open eyes!
