Timeless Photos and a Wonderful Experience

Christina was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was organized, extremely professional, and so easygoing, which made the entire day feel relaxed. She was great with kids and somehow managed to always be in the right place at the right time without ever feeling intrusive.

We loved her style and the mix of digital and film photography. The photos feel timeless and truly capture the emotion of the day. Christina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful throughout the process, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience or the final photos. Highly recommend.

Best photographer....ever?

First things first: the photos were incredible. Christina has a unique yet timeless way of capturing and editing photographs. Everything we wanted really came through- and then some. She was able to take our notes and vibe to get the shots we were looking for while also providing her own direction, which resulted in some really stellar shots we hadn't even thought about. Beyond the actual photos, everything else was great, too. She was very professional - well organized, responsive, and punctual. Plus, going around town for day-of wedding photos ended up being, surprisingly, one of the most fun parts of the day. We don't think we would have gotten that experience with anyone else. Would highly recommend!

Worth every penny!

Christina was so amazing! I loved working with her for our wedding day and engagement session. She was flexible and got the perfect shots. I wanted a documentary style photographer and she delivered. I didn’t even notice she was taking photos at times and when we got the pictures back she had all the best shots. I would definitely work with her again in the future on family portraits or anything of that sort. She was super sweet, communicative, and just a total joy to be around

Christina is amazing!!

I knew Christina had to be our wedding photographer when I kept seeing these beautiful images popping up on Instagram, and every single time it was her work. We now have our own gallery back, and they are images that we will cherish forever. Christina is amazing to work with - she is kind and down to earth, and she is a true professional. She handled our chaotic 180-person wedding with grace, and captured all the lovely moments without us having to think about it at all! If having amazing and timeless photos is high on your priority list, I highly recommend you book Christina!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
