About Crystal Genes Photography
Crystal Genes Photography
Color. Laughter. Personality. Three words that I think best sum up my images. I've been shooting weddings for over 15 years and loving every minute of it! From Martha's Vineyard to Puerto Rico, NYC to Portland & all in between, I've documented some amazing events. Big or small, the photos from your wedding day will travel with you throughout your lifetime.
My favorite way to document a wedding is by focusing on the unique personality and excitement that you, your friends and family, and your vision all bring together so that you won't miss a single moment and you can relive it for years to come. If you love real af wedding photography and your style is fun, vibrant, and just a little bit quirky, I'd love to hear from you!

A True Pro, Amazing Photographer
Crystal far exceed every expectation and significantly helped to make the entire wedding experience unforgettable. We love her style, her ability to capture candid split second moments, and the stories she tells through pictures. We were relaxed and often laughing, having a great time throughout the entire process. She is quietly competent, fun, and very well organized. We did a package that included some engagement photos before the wedding, which was a great opportunity to get to meet Crystal and get a feel for how we wanted to work together. After that session at a park near our home, we felt much more prepared for what to expect on the wedding day, and we ended up with some amazing photos for our wedding website. She asked a lot of thoughtful questions and sent some short surveys to get to know us, and help her prepare for what we wanted, how we wanted our big day to flow. The day of the wedding at the Kennedy School, she collaborated with the DJ extremely well. We didn't have a wedding planner, so it was just them herding all the cats. They were able to help us pull off a large group picture with Crystal getting on top of a ladder that came out great. She was able to get our 6 year old nephew to smile during family portraits in really hot weather, which is close to impossible! I really wasn't expecting the kind of creative breadth we received in our photos. She was able to catch fleeting sweet and goofy moments, poses and portraits that you'd find in a magazine, conventional stuff you want in a family album, and even some artsy shots that I wouldn't be surprised to find in a gallery. It's evident she takes great care in her craft and also cares about doing a great job for her clients. The hardest part of the process is choosing which photos to print out! I can say after working with Crystal, we now know what a truly great photographer can do. We'd highly recommend her to anyone.
Light and bright, like our personalities
Crystal did an amazing job capturing all of the moments from the wedding that we were hoping for and more, such as behind-the-scenes moments of family and friends that warmed our hearts. We love her editing style (very light and bright), which represents our personalities perfectly! She was very communicative and had a copy of our shot list on her phone so we can make sure we captured all of the family and friend configurations we wanted. We even got our photos back one month after our wedding, which was much more in advance than we were expecting. Thank you so much, Crystal!!
Wedding giveaway winner
We were fortunate enough to win a giveaway that included Crystal as a photographer for our wedding. Crystal is delightful to work with. She is professional while warm and fun to work with. Our photos turned out so beautifully. She perfectly captured our whimsical colorful wedding. I suggest her to everyone who tells me they’re getting married.
Best Photographer for fun weddings
Crystal was one of the best things we spent money on for our wedding. From our engagement shoot on the coast to a perfect wedding day, Crystal helped us navigate the process and captured exactly what we wanted of our special day. Her portraits were amazing but the action shots of everybody having a blast at the wedding reception was where her talents really shine. A kind and talented vendor that I would recommend to any couple tying the knot.
