Book with Christina Molina, you will not regret it!

Wow, words cannot describe how lucky we were to find Christina Molina Photography (formerly Christina Sours). From the moment we jumped on a call with her prior to booking, we knew that she had to be the one to photograph our wedding. She immediately made us feel at ease and like we were just talking to an old friend. It only got better from there. Christina was accessible and accommodating for over a year during our planning process. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience and helped us pick a location for our engagement shoot, work on timeline for the big day and was even able to pivot and add shoot time just days before the wedding when we realized we wanted more photos. Her second shooter was also incredibly kind and professional. We are not models and yet Christina quickly got us comfortable in front of the camera and made us look amazing, as well as authentically capturing our love. I highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with her, too because by the time wedding day came, I knew it was going to be nothing shy of phenomenal! She is amazing about sending sneak peeks and previews so we can quickly relive both the engagement shoot and wedding day. We got our full album a month after the wedding and are obsessed with every single image. She was even able to get a photo of all of our guests throughout the day (and we had over 200!) and not miss a single moment or detail that we had mentioned. We would highly recommend Christina Molina Photography and feel like we not only had a professional photographer to capture our day but made a friend that was able to celebrate with us! We love you Christina!!!

Colorful, Adventurous, and Fun!

Christina was so, so fun to work with. We had a somewhat unconventional engagement and were planning an unconventional wedding, and Christina was excited to roll with anything we put on the calendar! We loved the bright, colorful photos in her portfolio, and were so happy to see our own photos in the same palette.

We did an engagement session with her a few months before the wedding and had a blast. We aren’t used to getting photos taken and she gave us great direction, and got us used to being in front of the lens very quickly.

On our big day, Christina was super communicative and was right on time to our venue. She was great with our vendors and guests who had a ton of fun posing for her, as well as capturing tons of candids. Since our wedding was at the racetrack, we asked her to get some action shots for us too which came out so so good! Thank you Christina for getting these bold shots for us

The BEST photographer!

Christina is an artist. She captures magic. My wedding day was so joyful and fun and Christina was able to encapsulate that feeling in our photos so that we can relive the day forever. When I went looking for a photographer, I knew I wanted someone with a unique and vibrant style. Someone who really leaned into the natural beauty and authentic joy. My vision was not even close to what Christina delivered. She exceeded all expectations. The added bonus was that Christina was just an incredible human. Everyone who interacted with her loved her. People are still telling us how warm and approachable she was a month later. If I had to do it all over again, Christina would be the first vendor decision I would make. Thank you endlessly, Christina!

Best person and photographer ever

Christina went above and beyond for us during both our engagement shoot and wedding day!
On top of being an amazing photographer, she helped coordinate SO MUCH during our special day. With her detailed timeline (which we worked together on making) she was very very tentative to keeping things going while still remaining flexible! I never felt rushed with her and it felt more like I had a photographer, coordinator, and friend wrapped all-in-one!
Throughout the whole process, from before the engagement shoot to after the wedding, Christina stayed in contact and was very tentative to not only our many questions but also our wishes and random notes we came up with! Her ability to respond promptly and her friendly nature helped us feel like we were never alone and that we were in great hands.
To all my friends and family, I boast about having her and recommend her for anything and everything.
The moments she captured throughout our time with her really caught the love and laughter shared between not only my husband and I but also our lovely guests.
Even they said they were amazed with her work and work ethic!
For our future family, we already know that we will book her for future events (Baby's first photos, baptisms, etc!)
If you are on the fence, I'll tell you now that she will go above and beyond for you!
Thank you, Christina, for making our whole wedding journey amazing! BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!!!

We were beyond fortunate to have CMSours Photography capture the magic of our journey from engagement to wedding day. From the moment we hired CMSours Photography, Christina and her team became integral to our wedding experience.

Christina went above and beyond, helping us plan the perfect shots and shaping our entire wedding day timeline. Her dedication and attention to detail ensured that every moment was beautifully captured.

The engagement photos set the tone for what was to come—pure magic. As for the wedding day itself, the CMSours Photography team seamlessly blended into the background yet managed to capture the heart and soul of every moment. The team's ability to make everyone feel at ease resulted in candid shots that are truly priceless.

The selection of photos we received is nothing short of spectacular. It's a treasure trove of memories that allows us to relive our special day.

We can't thank Christina enough for her professionalism, creativity, and passion for her craft.

Amazing Vendor

Christina was by far our most helpful vendor. My husband and I had a lot to learn about planning a wedding and Christina walked us through every detail with professionalism and deep knowledge of the process. On the day of our wedding, Christina's energy was amazing. She was sensitive to complex family relationships while also being great at wrangling everyone for photos. I got so many compliments from my family and wedding party about Christina. Finally, our pictures look incredible and every special moment of our day was captured. I would absolutely recommend this vendor!

Working With Christina = 10/10 Experience!

WOW! Christina absolutely blew us away with her wedding photography experience! From our first planning meeting, to the day of the wedding, Christina was extremely organized and had an amazing creative eye/vision. We felt super prepared leading up to our wedding day thanks to her guidance around creating a shot list, event timeline, and what to bring for detail photos. The day of the wedding, she was a pro at making sure we stayed on our wedding day timeline and wrangling all of our family and friends for portraits, while keeping the photo sessions super fun, fast and upbeat. All of our guests LOVED her and kept saying how comfortable she made them feel, even our most photo-shy guests! She delivered photos for us within a few days so we could share a few wedding teaser shots, and the rest of the photos had a quick editing turnaround as well. The pictures are all so beautiful, we love them all! It rained a bit during our wedding day, and Christina did a super fun rain photo session with us, which turned out to be some of our favorite pictures from the day. Christina is an amazing wedding photographer - Book her ASAP!

Incredibly vibrant wedding photos! Christina is a dream photographer!

When we first reached out to Christina in search of a wedding photographer we knew from the start she was on top of her game. She set up a 30min consultation to walk us through a couple of her portfolios, the aesthetics she uses and how she would help keep us on schedule in all of the wedding day activities. What we talked about in her consultation held true throughout the entire wedding process as she showed us what a true professional she was. She was always willing to lend suggestions, answer any questions and provide thoughtful ideas on how to make our special day so memorable.

We had Christina shoot our welcome party, wedding day as well as our engagement session. With my husband and I needing tons of direction on poses, she instantly made us more comfortable and coached us each step of the way, and the final products were out of my wildest dreams.

Knowing that editing our hundreds of photos will take time, she quickly got us our previews so that we could share moments from our special day with our friends and family. We cannot wait to see the final products!

Hire Christina!!

When we first reached out to Christina, she set up a virtual meet and greet for us to chat with her. Right as the call ended, we knew had picked the right photographer and we booked her right away. Christina was transparent, great at communicating with us, and super helpful along the way. She made it easy to also book our engagement shoot. On the day of our engagement shoot, Christina was very knowledgeable on the area we picked, and chose scenic spots for us to take pictures. She also made the shoot incredibly fun for us. After seeing the proofs from our engagement shoot, we quickly recognized that Christina had captured what we wanted. We were beyond happy with how our pictures turned out. As the wedding got closer, we had another virtual meeting with Christina. She gave us a detailed sheet of how the shots would be for our wedding day. This helped put our mind at ease and took a lot of stress off of us for our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Christina was beyond attentive and helpful. She really captured all the best moments of our day. When we look at the photos, we can see all the love and happiness that transpired that day. We are so happy that we chose Christina. It was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!

Amazing! :)

Hiring Christina for our wedding was the best decision we made! From our engagement shoot, through the wedding planning process, to our wedding day, she made everything fun, easy and straightforward. She was the photographer for our friends' wedding a few years ago, and from the time we started wedding planning I knew we needed to book her too. We had a big wedding party and she did an amazing job organizing our shot list and wrangling our friends and family for photos in an organized and efficient way, while making sure we all had fun. Our end results are amazing! I had such a hard time picking my favorites for our album because I love them all. I know I'll be showing these off forever! Hire her immediately :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
