Christina is seriously the most friendly and helpful person we had the pleasure of working with. She really took the time to get to know us, our wedding details and our expectations. our wedding was completely DIY, so she helped us build a timeline and really hammer out the final details that ultimately led to the most PERFECT day. my husband and I could not be happier with the final gallery. Christina was able to capture the spirit of the evening as her work is truly stunning. Overall, it was just a fun, easy, and exciting experience! Definitely recommend!

Christina was WARM and WELCOMING from the beginning. She captured our elopement in Lake Tahoe, CA, Lakeside on a dock. Her artistic eye and creative intuition enhanced our vision immensely. We can be shy, and SHE HELPED US FEEL COMFORTABLE AND NATURAL. Christina documented the sweetest moments with my husband and I, in such a timeless, candid way. Thank you!! Don’t hesitate, just book her!

We were so at ease after we hired Christina. She was sweet, thoughtful, supportive and fun! Our day of experience was easy, and Christina is why. She PLANNED WELL, was so PATIENT, and GENUINE. She made me and my family and husband comfortable throughout our time together. WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HAPPIER. Christina was the best decision we made for our day! We love our photos more than we could have imagined. She made our intimate wedding appear glamorous in all of the right ways, and captured so much love. Hire her and don’t look back. You will be so grateful!

You won’t find a better photographer! Christina was so sweet and personable. She made sure to get all the photos I specifically asked for and added some of her own flare that turned out so beautiful! I feel so lucky that we had her capturing our elopement day with our loved ones. I cannot thank her enough for our STUNNING PHOTOS!!! Take my word for it (And I’m a bit of a photo-snob) Book this lady!!!

FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!
Christina is AMAZING from start to finish. We LOVED working with her on our wedding day, and all the photos were magically captured creating the best memories for us. Christina should be your FIRST and LAST stop when looking for a photographer.

Christina was everything we could have asked for in a photographer! She always communicated in a timely manner and listened to what was important to us for our day. The day of, she had so much ENTHUSIASM AND WARMTH it made it easy for us and our guests. We got a sneak peak just days later with the best photos!
