Carisa Chee Photography

Cari was amazing and took beautiful pictures for both my engagement session and my wedding. She managed to capture all of the important moments of our wedding. She was also quick with getting the photos to me after the wedding. I highly recommend her!

We are so happy and grateful to have met Cari. She helped to make our wedding a wonderful success. Cari has a great eye for detail and is so creative. We look forward to working with her in the future...we found a life-long photographer and friend.

Words cannot describe how VERY HAPPY my husband and I were with the way Cari photographed our wedding. From the go, Cari was professional and extremely thorough. Over a dozen of our friends have commented on her after the wedding regarding: - how professional she and her assistant were - how the wedding party pictures took almost no time and turned out pefectly. - how she captured the spirit and all major moments of the wedding, including great crowd shots at the reception. Cari was also prompt with delivering photos and was a pleasure to work with. Other reasons to choose Carisa Chee Photography: - Cari is personable and blends in easily with the crowd, allowing for natural photos. - I've been to countless weddings, where the photographer was intrusive and acted grumpy when the couple asked for particular shots. Cari is the opposite. She seems to be everywhere at once without you even realizing it. :) I can't believe all the great images she captured of my guests. She captured the candid moments and the natural happiness of the crowd. Shots did not seem forced and there wasn't a bad image in the bunch. Many of my friends liked her so much they found her on Facebook and became her friend. - Cari makes the impossible possible. - Many people asked me what kind of camera Cari used, saying, "Wow, those are really great pictures!" I think it's amazing that even though our church wouldn't allow photography on the ground level sanctuary, Cari used a zoom lens and made the photos feel like you were right there with us. I've never seen pictures of the same church turn out that well. I can't say enough good things about Cari. She captured the true magic of our wedding and is a true professional. When capturing one of the most important days of your life, she's someone you can truly trust. I can't imagine what our wedding photos would have been without her.

Carisa was wonderful to work with. She is truly an artist. We were lucky to have her photographing our special day!

Cari is an amazing photographer, and it was wonderful working with her. She is always professional, but at the same time we had a ball working with her. I've had so many rave reviews of the photographs, and whenever we had a question, no matter how random or complicated, she always responded quickly and always answered the question. I've never had so much fun taking so many pictures. The hardest part of this whole process has been narrowing down the pictures for the wedding album. If you're lucky enough to be able to work with Cari Chee, I promise you'll be thrilled with the results.

Prior to our wedding, my husband and I had considered many different photographers. We like to call Carisa our 'saving grace' on our wedding day. We had a photographer scheduled, but at the last minute she canceled. Due to the cancelation, our wedding planner scheduled Carisa Chee, and WE ARE SO GLAD that she did. Carisa was wonderful, and EVERYONE was amazed by her professionalism. She knew the name of everyone in my wedding party and made you feel relaxed from the minute you met her. By the time we got back from our honeymoon the proofs were ready. She even made a special trip to my office to bring me the pictures. Her pictures were better than any words could describe! I have shown my album to everyone and they are amazed. I would recomend Carisa to anyone and everyone for their special event. She made my wedding day, truly the best day ever.

Cari Chee was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Not only is she an extraordinary photographer, she is very personable and you can tell that she truly enjoys her work. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you are 100% happy with every detail of your photography. Unlike some wedding vendors, Cari is easily accessible and very responsive and professional. She makes you feel as though you are her top priority, and even had our images back to us less than 3 weeks after the wedding! The pictures are gorgeous; Cari is unbelievably talented. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married!

Cari was an absolute dream to work with! Not only is she very professional and attentive but she really got to know us as a couple. It is this level of personal care that enabled her to capture photos that truly reflected our personality. Instead of just getting "typical" wedding photos, Cari created a beautiful story with the photos that was truly reflective of who we are. She is very creative, imaginative and has a keen eye for details. If you are looking for a five-star service, attention to detail and a personal touch - Look no further! AWESOME!!

I would highly recommend Cari for any and all of your photography needs. It was like having a close friend I had known for years with me on my wedding day. Our engagement photos had all of my friends jealous as well!!!!!

Photography was a very important piece to our wedding. We had many stantards for the photographer that we picked. When we hired Cari we knew that we were going to get exactly what we wanted. She listened, interacted and really jumped into the project. We have many beautiful pictures to look back on to remember every moment, every detail, every emotion of our day thanks to Cari. We would highly recommend her as a photographer. She has a lot of talent! She is very easy to get along with and we are very grateful for the friendship we gained!

Cari and I immediately clicked the moment that I met her. She was extremely receptive to what I wanted out of my photography and alway made the shoots very comfortable. I would recommend her to ANYONE. She is wonderful!

Cari Chee is a bride's dream come true. Not only is she a talented and professional creative photographer, she made my wedding day flow seamlessly and captured each moment and emotion I was hoping for. The final printed album I received has already received numerous compliments, and I have highly recommended Cari to my engaged friends.

My Boudoir experience: There's nothing more relaxing than getting your hair and makeup done with a glass of wine in your hands and a plate of fresh strawberries not too far out of reach, and suprisingly it was a very fun and comfortable environment and it definatly helped having a photographer like Cari with so much energy and spunk! She walked me through each pose and once I would get into the pose she came over to make sure everything was in the right place, and once it was she told me what expression to make and where to look which made things very easy! And I'm so glad I did this, it really helped me feel truly beautiful! I encourage every woman to do it sometime in their life and if you live in North Carolina you should definatly use Carisa Chee!

Do not choose Cari Chee for your photographer because she is inflexible and unwilling to work with her customers. I hired Cari, thinking that she was wonderful, especially given the fact that she told me that she only shoots five weddings a year so that she can continue working with her clients in the future. After I paid her $1,000, my fiancé and I decided to change our wedding date. I gave Cari over six months notice and she told me: \"If I\'m able to book another wedding for that date at full price, we can definitely discuss the possibility of a partial credit . . . If I\'m able to do so, I\'ll be in touch.\"\r\n\r\nI have no doubt that Cari met her \"quota\" of five weddings last year, yet I never heard back from her and she kept my $1000.\r\n\r\nA good photographer should not have to resort to taking money from clients that she didnt earn. To me, this is not a good way to build a loyal client base as a small business owner, especially given the fact that I was prepared to spend significantly more on a photography package. Her disposition, failure to follow through, and inflexibility after the fact was pretty surprising given how nice she seemed before she got my $1,000. \r\n\r\nThe traditional rules in customer service don\'t apply to Cari\'s clients ... so beware.
