The Wedding Guide

A couple laughing together at their reception

the biggest day of your life matters

and it matters to me.

If you're looking for a vendor to show up, take a few posed shots and hit the road, I'm probably not your girl.

But if you're the kind of couple who's down to get their hair a little messed up, laugh hard in their photos, feel things deeply, and who believes photos are the only way to hold on to the best day of your life, we might be a good fit.

I want you to remember what it felt like.

02  ยท  About me

hi, I'm Christy.

my wedding day was the best day of my life.

not because everything went perfectly - in fact, I broke a ton of my bones in my body from a bike accident two weeks before my wedding haha.

it was the best because everyone I loved was in the same place, at the same time.

and that's something worth capturing.

would be honored to document the moments that make you laugh, cry and keep as heirlooms for years to come.

when i'm at your wedding - i'll be looking for the moments.

"Finding a wedding photographer was the most important decision we made for our wedding, and man, did we make the right choice. Christy was so attentive, kind, great with our friends and family, and did WAY more than we ever expected a photographer to do. We loved her."

Raving reviews

"Choosing Christy was the absolute best choice. The photos felt like US. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I genuinely felt like a friend was taking my photos. We even went to In-N-Out after our wedding and Christy was game to come along."

06  ยท  Frequently asked

what else do I need to know?


Will you direct us and our families?

I've shot weddings around the world for over a decade, and everybody can look great in front of the camera, nerves or not. I handle all the direction so you feel completely at ease, taking charge when people need corralling and staying a fly on the wall through the soft, emotional moments.

What if we're nervous in front of the camera?

Most couples are, and it's usually their first time getting professional photos taken. I'll send you a guide on getting comfortable in front of the camera before we shoot, and an outfit guide too if we're doing an engagement session. Our sessions are fun and carefree. People forget the camera is there.

a few more.


Will my photos be safe?

Absolutely. Your day only happens once. I always bring a second shooter, use high quality memory cards and equipment, back up your images the same night as your wedding, and always keep two forms of backup.

When will we get our photos?

You shouldn't have to wait months. Sneak peeks land within 24 hours, and your full gallery is delivered within 14 days of your wedding date.

last two.


Will you travel to us?

Anywhere. I've shot weddings around the world and I'd love to shoot yours. Travel is always billed at cost and approved with you before anything is booked, so there are never surprises on your invoice.

How can we secure our date?

I take a 50% deposit up front and the remaining 50% is due the week of the wedding. Along with the deposit we'll sign a contract, and that's it, you're locked in.
