About Christian Johnston Photography
Virginia-based photographer with over 20 years of experience creating compelling images for private clients, publications, and brands. My background in television, film production, and animation at Viacom’s MTV and VH1 gives my photography a cinematic, storytelling edge. I began my photography career in New York as a contributing photographer for the New York Post, commissioned by magazines and private clients alike. I also received a grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council and sponsorship from the New York Foundation for the Arts for my project “The Fisherman of Sheepshead Bay,” and have exhibited work in galleries in Virginia and NYC and spoken at institutions such as The New School. From portraits, headshots, and engagements to commercial, fashion and event photography, I bring a calm, professional presence and a strong visual eye to every shoot. Let’s talk about the images you want to create and have fun in the process.
Reviews
What a pleasure working with Christian, he was created, brought his own ideas but was completely open to my ideas as well. I felt really lucky to find someone with his experience out here in beautiful rural Virginia.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Photographer and a Wonderful Experience! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! My husband and I had our wedding anniversary photoshoot in Shenandoah National Park along Skyline Drive, and it was everything I had envisioned and more! I am very particular about my pictures and had a specific vision of what I wanted. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my ideas, understand my vision, and make sure we were on the same page. He was incredibly professional, punctual, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. What made the experience even more special was how comfortable he made us feel. We laughed, had so much fun, and genuinely enjoyed every moment! And the pictures? Absolutely beautiful! He captured exactly what I had imagined, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories he captured for us. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly listens, cares, and makes the entire experience unforgettable!
I hired Christian to take photos of my surprise proposal to my now fiancé. Christian was very easy to coordinate with and went the extra mile to make sure the surprise remained hidden to my fiancé. He did a splendid job of taking photos of the surprise proposal then took an engagement photo session after. I’d highly recommend Christian for your proposal and engagement photo needs.
Christian was professional and provided beautiful photos for our family. Would recommend!
It was such a pleasure to work with Christian! He is kind, bubbly, professional, understanding, and punctual! We had a huge group and he made sure everyone felt like they got the picture they wanted. We had a dog and baby and he was patient and accommodating. He showed up early and had a super fast turn around on our photos. We would make the trip again to work with him!
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, Christian was very professional, organized, and incredibly easy to work with. On our wedding day, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which really showed in the photos. Every picture captured the emotions, details, and special moments perfectly. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again. Not only is their work absolutely beautiful, but they were also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making our day special. We’ve received so many compliments on our wedding photos, and we will treasure them forever. If you’re looking for someone talented, dependable, and passionate about what they do, we highly recommend them!
Christian’s work on our daughter’s wedding was absolute perfection! He was beyond professional, easy to work with, open to our ideas, and just outstanding in every way!
Christian did an amazing job. He’s professional on time and follows through with everything he offers. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.
Christian was amazing to work with. I booked him for a family photo session. We were traveling to the area for a family vacation and had no clue where to take photos. He was extremely helpful in scouting the areas and making suggestions that aligned with what I wanted, while also being proactive in reaching out to confirm times and locations. I appreciate his responsiveness and great communication. Day of, it rained. Christian arrived an hour early to the photo shoot location, was monitoring the rain and had contingency plans in place so we didn’t need to reschedule. It’s very stressful to plan a Photoshoot where we don’t live. Christian made this process so seamless and I didn’t need to worry about anything. He was professional and great with the 5 little kids we had in our group. The kids may not have cooperated at the same time but Christian helped us make the best of it and get amazing photos for us to treasure. Photos were amazing and delivered extremely fast. Our whole family is in love with the photos and grateful that Christian was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend booking him for your next Photoshoot. You wont regret it.
The photographer was very good about messaging me back and making the appointment. Photographing 4 dogs is not an easy task but he was patient and friendly and did a great job. I would definitely recommend him and I will be contacting him in the future!
Christian did an exceptional work for my daughter’s senior photos. He was very professional, responsive, and overall great to work with.
Christian exceeded all my expectations and made our special day one that we’ll always remember. I really appreciated his guidance for posing, using his artistic eye. I’ve received MANY compliments on our pictures from family and friends! Christian made us feel at ease and comfortable. I was so impressed that we had our proofs by the next day.
Christian was great, so easy going and made everyone feel at ease. Would use him for any events!
Our photo session was a fun experience and the photos were high quality! I highly recommend Christian Johnston photography! A couple samples of photos included here. We had fun and got great photos.
