As a past Art Director, my skills and knowledge from the design world ignite my creativity and planning behind the camera. Fueled by my love for people, world travel, art, and composition, photography is where it all comes together for me. At my core, I am a wifey and a mom with the sweetest little family. I’m a Capricorn with a plan and firmly believe in the power of positivity and kindness. It's always around us; we just have to recognize it.
Immersing myself in your story and helping you curate the most magical experience is why I am here! I feel so fortunate to work with so many amazing people! Your wedding is more than beautiful photos of you in an incredible place and you are more than a client to me.

SAN FRANCISCO
wedding day adventures
let's start dreaming your dream together!
the best part is, I’m your co-dreamer every step along the way
How and where are you getting ready? Are you sharing a first look? Writing your vows together? How long does it take to get from A to B? What time of day do you want your ceremony? What kind of lighting do you want for your photos? Do you want to buffer in some downtime? Are you going to make a fun exit? Will you have a reception or steal away to catch the sunset on the beach?
4. Hone in on the details and create a realistic timeline (i.e. budget more time than you think you’ll need).
Are you having a civil wedding or a larger wedding? Are you renting out the Mayor's Balcony, the Fourth Floor Gallery or the entire first floor? How many guests will join? What amazing vendors do you want to include? You get to decide and I am here to share all of my knowledge and experience.
3. Make the biggest decisions first.
Through our 1:1 calls and my questionnaires we will organize what is most important to you! We will get to the bottom of who you are, why you are doing this, and how we can make it the best it can be.
2. Together we will organize and make a plan for your celebration
Think about what moments you want to share, how you want to feel, and who you want to be surrounded by. Are you interested in capturing your arrival, a first look, family portraits, bridal portraits, your ceremony and the epic fun exit out of the grand doors? Thinking of making an adventure out of the day or will you celebrate more with friends and family at a charming restaurant reception?
1. Dream without limits! Envision what really matters to you.
There are endless options, so here are my tips:
I am here to help you every step of the way!
While I provide a ton of resources in helping you make these big decisions, I do not book other vendors or accommodations for you.
- Share 1:1 calls, questionnaires and Pinterest boards
- Recommend vetted vendors to help make your dream of a day come true.
- Create your custom timeline with room to breathe and enjoy your day.
- Deliver a joyful experience along with swoon worthy photos in your own online gallery!
- Deliver sneak peaks within 72 hours and a full wedding gallery within 6 weeks!

I have several fabulous and trusted photographers who would love to join us. Depending on how we structure your timeline, having a second photographer can bring a more relaxed approach to your day. They offer an additional creative perspective and enable us to capture two different moments simultaneously. While not essential, having a second photographer is a wonderful bonus. Together, we can craft a timeline to ensure we capture the most important moments of your day. Regardless of your choice, I've got you covered!
A second shooter is an additional photographer you can hire to accompany me on your day!

commonly asked questions
Not only does she take some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen, Christina is by far the kindest and sweetest soul you will every meet! Her calm and fun loving demeanor makes it so easy to just be yourself. She is extremely professional, organized, and well-prepared leading up to the day of your event. I can't recommend Christina enough, and my family will definitely be asking her to take more photos as we grow in size over the coming years. THANK YOU, CHRISTINA!
amanda and matt
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!
Gabriella and michael
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!
brianna and sam
WE WERE SO AT EASE AFTER WE HIRED CHRISTINA. SHE WAS SWEET, THOUGHTFUL, SUPPORTIVE AND FUN! OUR DAY OF EXPERIENCE WAS EASY, AND HONESTLY CHRISTINA IS WHY. SHE PLANNED WELL, WAS SO PATIENT, AND GENUINE. SHE MADE ME, MY FAMILY AND HUSBAND SO COMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT OUR TIME TOGETHER. WE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER. WE THINK CHRISTINA WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR DAY! WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS SO MUCH, BETTER 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!

I’m so thrilled when I look at the wonderful photos christina took of my daughter's wedding, I’m delighted to be able to re-live the day over and over! she has a gift for capturing the moment naturally, it doesn’t look staged and stilted, but natural and full of the fun that we were having. Thank you so much, you're the best!
Oh. My. Gosh. CHRISTINA knocked it out of the freaking park!! I cannot thank HER enough for capturing OUR beautiful moments. I keep going through the album and I find something new to love in each photo. christina is AMAZING AND I REALLY CAN’T EXPRESS HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT she Was PART OF OUR DAY.
tarrah and justin
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 wedding 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.
marrissa and paul
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! The final gallery had so many more photos than I expected. So happy to work with her!
