I’m sure you have questions…

HERE ARE THE POPULAR ONES

Why me?

The Best Question.

If you are asking this question, the best way to solve it is to meet over coffee or wine. I’m even happy to FaceTime or chat on the phone. A photographer is about more than their work, it is about establishing a relationship.

Trust

The Important Ingredient.

My goal is to become friends with you. I want you to relax and be yourself around me. In doing this, I can capture the raw emotions. Ensuring that when you look back at these images, you’re not only looking at an image, but feeling it too.

Your Style?

The Hardest Thing To Explain.

I am a documentary photographer. But what does that really mean…

Well, I aim for authentic storytelling. Creating timeless true-to-colour images to be enjoyed for decades that you not only look at, but feel.

Wedding FAQ

Can We See Your Pricelist?

All of our pricing is available here. Feel free to shoot me an email for a custom quote if you’re planning an intimate wedding under 30 people, an elopement or a destination wedding!

Should We Include A Meal For You At The Wedding?

Yes, please. And please have a spot for us in the same room as to ensure I don’t miss anything while eating dinner. On another note, ask your planner/co-ordinator to have my dinner brought out during the same time as yours so that we are eating at the same time and can capture you during the times we’re both not eating. A full belly means a happy photographer. Thank you!!!

How Many Images Do We Get?

For weddings, I usually include about 50-90/hour! And for couple sessions I include a gallery between 50-200.

How Long Is Your Turn Around Time?

I aim to finish your wedding in about 8 weeks. Of course I always provide a sneak peek gallery within week after your wedding. During high season it may take a little longer and vise versa. Couples photo sessions can take anywhere between 1-3 weeks depending on the season.

Can We Print Our Photographs?

You are more then welcome to have your images printed, although I recommend ordering them through your online gallery store. The company connected prints with exquisite papers that are unavailable to the public. I offer a number of albums as well, feel free to contact me for more info.

Do You Provide Colour And Black & White Photographs?

Once the digital files are edited, that is the final shot. I shoot in both black and white & colour, and selectively fine tune images that suit a certain style better.

What If The Weather Is Horrible?

For a couples session, there is no such thing as horrible weather. I enjoy the romantic rain or the windswept whispers in the air. I have never had an issue with the weather, I embrace it. That being said if you truly don’t want to utilize the weather for its uniqueness, I am happy to discuss changing the date.

Family sessions are an exception, children are much harder to keep happy in the poor elements.

Are You Insured?

You bet!

Do You Travel Beyond Ontario?

Heck yes I do. Passport is packed and I am all set to go. Shoot me an email for a custom quote for international elopements & destinations.

Hi Crystal,

These pictures are truly amazing - thank you so much!

It is going to be hard to pick just one for our save-the-date cards, so wish me luck lol.

We are so grateful to have you be a part of our wedding!

Have a great weekend,

Alex

Crystal!

Oh my goodness, we love everything about these pictures!!! You captured our day so beautifully and we are so thankful we chose YOU, you are amazing. Everyone is still talking about you and how comfortable you made them feel and how personable you were. We are so lucky. The slideshow was perfection and brought tears to my eyes, so much joy! We are so lucky to have found you.

We cannot wait to get our pictures printed. We are looking forward to our next shoot with you! Thank you times a million, there are no words to describe how obsessed we are with our pictures/slideshow! A special thank you for the amazing photos of me and my poppa that I will truly cherish forever, he is pretty high up there in importance to me so it was really special to have those pictures and when I saw the joy in his eyes I melted. They are perfect. It means the world to me that you captured someone so dear to my heart in such a beautiful way.

Lots of love,

Sam, Drew and Ryan

Just got the email with the Photos this morning. I can’t tell you how happy they make me omg I almost cried going through them. Thanks so much! I know it was a REALLY fricken’ cold day, but they ended up looking awesome.

Crystal is simply amazing!

Ok, so, I can't begin to recommend Crystal enough. She was absolutely awesome as our wedding photographer. She made myself, my husband, and our whole crew comfortable and relaxed with taking photos even though we are notorious for not always being the most photogenic. She rolled with all of our punches (and non stop laughter) and she caught so many beautiful (and hilarious!) moments. By the end of the night, we just wanted to ask her to put down the camera and stay a while, she was that good at making sure everybody had a good time and felt like a million bucks. If you are getting married in the Kawarthas, Crystal in the photographer to look out for 😍

Thankyou so much crystal!!!

“The photos are too cute, and you were awesome will recommend to anyone who needs pictures done.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing our special day with us. It was so great to meet you.

I think you are an amazing person and am grateful to have met you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your passion in photography with us. We know the pictures

will look amazing. Thank you again!

Incredible memories captured in the most memorable way!

We had the pleasure of having Crystal capture our photos of our wedding day. Our path originally led us to Crystal with her extremely affordable budget and packages. Little did we know she would blow us out of the water. Crystal managed to capture the most candid and beautiful photos from our big day. We cant get enough of them. We recommend crystal to anyone and everyone that is looking for a photographer. Not only does she bring talent and creative skill, her bubbly and outgoing personality puts you at ease right away. She made us feel so comfortable during our sessions that it felt like we have known her for years.We look forward to working with crystal in the future!

I highly recommend Crystal! We have used her a couple times now! She just did a newborn shoot for us and I cannot express how amazing she was with our baby, Crystal is definitely a baby whisper. She was also great in directing us and our two year old in the shoot. We are also obsessed with the photos!Thanks Crystal!

great personality and photographer

Crystal was super patient while doing our wedding photos in the 40+ heat and while I was ready to just run to somewhere cool, she reminded us that we would one day look back on these pictures and be sad if we missed some of the key shots! Looking forward to getting the final photos from our wedding day! Thanks Crystal!!

Just had our engagement shoot today with crystal and she was awesome. She really got my fiancé out of his shell and I can't wait to use her for our wedding day as well.

We were married on Oct 6 2018, and Crystal covered our special day. She was the consummate photographer, and we could not have asked for a better one to do our engagement and wedding. Everyone loved her - from our family to the guests, and especially my now-husband and I. We highly recommend her, and would definitely get her again for future photography needs!

Absolutely loved her personality! She was amazing and patient with us. I’ve never had my 2 year old NOT cry during a photo shoot and he was happy and even dancing! So excited to see how the photos turn out 😍

Thank you so much!!! Those are absolutely adorable!!! We will have to make an appointment to do her cake smash pictures lol. But honestly thank you I cried they were so adorable!!!

THANK YOU for capturing such BEAUTIFUL photos! ❤️ absolutely stunning! The slideshow made us cry 😭!

Thank you Crystal - I will be sure to recommend you to other brides to be!

Aweeeee Thank you so so so soooooooo much. They're beyond beautiful <3 We appreciate all your wonderful work Crystal . You're fabulous :)

I downloaded my photos today and I wanted to say that they are amazing and I love them! I am quite body conscious most of the time, but you do wonderful work and have made me feel really beautiful. I definitely want to have a photo book made, it will be the perfect gift for my fiance.

If you are looking for someone amazing to do your wedding look no further than Crystal Jessup! She is so wonderful! So helpful, amazing with children and will give you photos to die for! I'm so glad we made the super easy decision of having you as our photographer. Couldn't have had anyone better.
