So much more than a photographer

From our first conversation, I knew I needed to hire Christine by the way she really took the time to learn about me and my future husband. She was extremely thorough with creating timelines and asked for input in advance to ensure she could take care of any special request or details. This really put me at ease knowing I could trust her 100% and not worry about anything photography-related the day of. We received many compliments from our guests about her professionalism and how hardworking she was working the room at the reception to capture all the fun.

Being able to do an engagement photo shoot really helped us to get comfortable with each other and set the tone for what to expect for the wedding photos, which was to have fun! Some of my favorite moments from my wedding day are the ones we spent with Christine as she captured the little moments between me and my husband.

Her work really speaks for itself, it’s beautiful, but when I hired Christine I got so much more than a photographer, I also got an extra hand to carry my dress, someone to pin the boutonniere on the groom before pictures started, someone to tie my shoe on the dance floor, someone to hype up the bridal party and guests, and someone I can call a friend.

A blessing to have her!

We are very fortunate to have had Christine as a part of our big day! She was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and organized. She is detail oriented and cares about what matters to you as the bride. She made everything specific to just what we were looking for. She is artistic and creative. Our photos feel unique to us and we receive constant compliments on them. We will hire her again in the future for sure.

Absolutely amazing

I met Christine and her husband at a bridal show and from that day I knew they were going to be my photographers. I ended up meeting with a bunch of photographers but ultimately went with my gut and I'm so glad I did! Christine and her husband did an amazing job. From our very first meeting, to the actual wedding they went above and beyond for us every step of the way. I didn't just find photographers, I found friends!😊

Amazing Experience and Pictures

Once meeting Christine and John, my wife and I knew we found the photographer we wanted for our wedding. After working with them for about a year between our engagement shoot and wedding, we can truly call them great friends. Christine’s experience and professionalism along with John’s sense of humor, you are in for an amazing and relaxing wedding day with the sense of security knowing they will help wherever they can. They managed to capture an event filled day while listening to what we wanted and needed (half the time they knew what we wanted even when we didn’t). Next time you have a wedding or just need some family pictures, you will not be dissapointed.

Best photographer ever

Christine was my sanity in getting married during the virus, she made each step of getting married a breeze. Engagement photos, BEAUTIFUL, and not to mention we had sneak peaks almost instantly. Our wedding day? Not only did we get hundreds of amazing pictures of us, she was able to capture our families and the amazing night we had, even if it wasn't what we had in mind for our big day. One big detail she worked out SEAMLESSLY was dealing with family portraits, making sure everybody got the pictures they want when dealing with complicated family set ups!

Wonderful, easy going engagement shoot

Christine made the entire process from booking to the shoot so easy. She provided great suggestions of places to shoot, captured my fiancé and I’s happiness so well, and turn around time for our pictures was amazing. Y’all won’t go wrong with her!

MUST HAVE for all of your photography needs!!

I can't say enough about Christine and her husband, John. They were recommended by a co-worker who had used them for her wedding last year. Our consultation felt more like a friendship from the beginning. Christine goes ABOVE & BEYOND what a photographer would normally do. I would've been so lost without her guidance and expertise! I had multiple people come up to me during our reception to say how awesome she was. She makes the whole experience so comfortable and the fact that you get both her and her husband for the same price (and sometimes less expensive) as just one photographer...it's a no-brainer! You can tell that she's in the right business as she is passionate about her clients. I never felt like I was just another wedding for her to do. I know that I will use her for all of our future photography needs. You will not regret hiring her!!

Love How She Captured Our Beautiful Elopement!

Christine took the photos at our private elopement ceremony in an Airbnb backyard garden. All of the images turned out perfectly and she captured so many beautiful moments! These are photos that I will forever cherish and love. She communicates clearly and does her best to make you feel comfortable during the photo shoot. She had us laughing and smiling throughout the process! We are so happy with her service and I'd recommend her to anyone who needs photos for any special occasion. Thanks for making our wedding day amazing!
