Perfect adventure elopement photographer

We are so happy we found Christina, amid all the options out there. When we decided to elope in Sequoia National Park instead of doing a big wedding, we had high hopes for some beautiful photos - and Christina totally exceeded our vision, giving us stunning photos we cannot stop staring at! We were both so impressed with the way Christina showed off the epic scenery while also showcasing us as a couple.

Christina has such an amazing combination of creativity and professionalism. Locking down the date for the wedding turned out to be a hassle due to closures at Sequoia all Spring, yet Christina just planned out several backup plans and we felt so much better. Her expert knowledge of the area and years of experience shooting elopements in the mountains helped immensely as we dealt with the park's uncertainty. She's an expert communicator and planner who can give you an agenda for the whole day if you want, or can be very flexible and accommodating to our own plans. She really cared about our unique ideas and wanted to collaborate. In the end, all her planning paid off and our wedding adventure went off without a hitch!

Our photos are truly amazing and authentic to our special day, and I know they're going to bring us joy forever.

Amazing person + incredible photos

Christina was our photographer for both our Yosemite Engagement photos and Montana de Oro - Spooners Cove Elopement photos. For our engagement photos, she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, giving such great direction to us newbies who have never taken professional photos before. At the same time, we had such a fun adventure as she also gave us a little tour of the mountains throughout the day. When the pandemic hit, Christina was nothing but caring, understanding, and so helpful to us when figuring out a new plan. Although our wedding came around ~2 years later, it was like she had been taking photos of us forever because it just felt SO natural. Her 10 years of experience in this business truly shows in both the photos themselves and how she carries herself as a professional from the beginning of the inquiry/booking process to the very end. You will NOT be disappointed with hiring Christina. She has a heart of gold and is undoubtedly a very talented artist and storyteller. We are so grateful to have met her. All of our photos from both of our sessions with her are breathtaking. We wholeheartedly trust her 100% with capturing our memories. #ourforeverphotographer

Hire Christina now!

I didn't dream of a fairy tale wedding growing up but Christina gave me one. I haven't stopped looking at our wedding photos since they arrived. The proof is in the pudding and Christina delivered. Christina was great to work with, punctual, detailed, creative, and flexible. She took care of so much before the big day that my husband and I could fully enjoy our wedding. The experience from start to finish was incredible and the pictures are absolutely priceless.
