Christen Smith Photography – Raleigh Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Hi, we're the Smiths!

But our friends call us Patrick and Christen! We are a husband and wife photography team, but first and foremost we’re best friends, Christ followers, and absolute believers in this adventure called marriage.

We don’t have the typical love at first sight story, and we spent the majority of our dating relationship long-distance. All of our Skype dates and road trips reminded us that moments are meant to be preserved, and that by photographing our time together we could hold onto the emotion and love we felt, recalling it anytime we wanted to.

When we’re not taking pictures, you can find us binge-watching Sci-Fi, hiking (even if it’s to the mailbox), cooking, reading, grocery shopping; basically as long as it includes one another, we’re game!

Christen and Patrick are so nice and amazing! Ryan and I totally enjoyed the shoot with them. We felt so comfortable during the shooting. Also ALL the engagement photos are FANTASTIC!

Kender & Vicky

Christen and Patrick are the best! You'd regret not to have her as your photographer! Both me and my husband are camera shy people, but Christen and Patrick were so down to earth that it felt like we're just hanging out with friends!

Not only is Christen super easy to work with she truly cares about the people she photographs. She made sure to help us focus on what really mattered most: our wedding.
