Christine was amazing with us from the very beginning. She instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease with her and she was very understanding of what we were looking for. But even beyond all of that, the day before our wedding we found out that our venue had been destroyed (crazy!) and she didn't miss a beat or make us worry whatsoever about the plans having to shift and that she would have to be shooting different locations last minute. She went way above and beyond and we are so lucky that we found her! Cannot thank her or recommend her more!

My fiancee and I are huge Disney fans who got engaged and will get married at Disneyland, so of course we needed our engagement photos done in Disneyland. Christine was not only willing to make the trip to Disneyland, but she was super excited! She asked us for any Pinterest inspiration and also sent us some of hers as well. We're also not the most comfortable with PDA, especially in front of a camera, but Christine immediately made it easy for us. The main reason why I chose her was for how natural her style was; no poses, just natural affection and love. She just gives subtle directions, but generally just lets us do our thing and magically creates the most amazing photos. We had some specific requests for where to take some shots and she hit every one of those. While we were walking through the park, she'd even pull us for some shots in places I would've never thought of and they turned out perfect! The whole experience was truly magical in the happiest place on earth and we didn't even have wait long to see the edited photos. We were unbelievably happy with how they all turned out and will actually be doing a 2nd shoot with her with our dogs. :) I'd recommend Christine over and over again; from the very beginning of booking her, through the actual shoot and seeing the final product, it's all happiness, positivity and perfection.

Christine encapsulates all the elements a great photographer should have: confidence, experience, a creative inkling for "in-the-moment" shots, and most importantly, she dosn't make you think you are "cheesing" at a high school graduation photo studio. That's right folks! She's super personable and that's exactly what you want so your moment shines naturally. As an EXTRA plus, she is timely with her editing (a huge problem I've seen over and over) and always gets the client a sneak peak immediately after the shoot. She has experience doing professional shots, model home advertising, engagements, weddings, family and graduation photos (I think I captured it all...). Needless to say, if you want someone easy to work with, dedicated to her art, and simply good at what she does, reach out to Christine.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    At our initial consultation, we’ll spend time getting to know each other. We’ll also discuss your plans, wedding date, and your vision for your perfect photographs. You’ll have a chance to ask me any questions you have and I’ll guide you through the steps to making your wedding day great. Once you have signed the contract and paid a retainer fee, you can check “book photographer” off your to-do list! What to expect: • 6 + Weeks Before Your Wedding: We discuss wedding day-of timelines, scheduling, so I can start planning your shoot • 2.5 Weeks Before Your Wedding: We confirm the details of your wedding schedule and checklist and address changes, as well as outstanding questions • 2 Weeks Before Your Wedding: Your final payment is due • Your Wedding Day: I follow your wedding schedule as your day unfolds. Yay! • 1 Week After Your Wedding: Sneak Peek images will be shared and possibly posted to Facebook and/or my blog for your family and friends to view • 4 - 6 Weeks After Your Wedding: Edited images are revealed. • 6 - 8 Weeks After Your Wedding: Take care of all your add-on items.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I work with all types of customers - love is love. However I find the clients who are most drawn to my work are those who enjoy laughing and being a little silly, are down for a good time, but also want someone who is a organized and proactive in their planning style.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a wedding photographer, I always recommend you pick someone who you would want to hang out with yourself. After all, this person is with you for 8+ house on one of the biggest days of your life! This will help you feel more comfortable which ultimately will show in your photos.
