We believe great stories transcend mediums, classic style is eternal, and your love deserves to be captured with intention and heart.
"No words could ever do justice in describing how incredible Christian and her work truly are."
- Becca + Cory
"From the minute I found her website, I knew that I wouldn't be happy with anyone else. There is something so genuine and soulful about her photos."
- Cait and Justin
With a heart set on photojournalistic-style documentation, I seek to find the fleeing moments that unfold before me on a wedding day. Noticing how the light softly illuminates, highlights, and brings forth my subject. Blending editorial elements during portraits so that you feel properly led but still like yourself. My goal is for you to look back on your images and see the real you.
This journey began almost twelve years ago when I discovered my love for photographing wedding days. Since then I have photographed hundreds of weddings, engagements, couples sessions, and families. Weddings have my heart and it is such an honor to be invited into such special days, tasked with the beautiful job of documenting it all.
I take an experience-first approach. I want all of my couples to thoroughly enjoy their day from start to finish without it feeling like an extended photoshoot. I take care of documenting the beautiful moments and my couples have the best day ever.
I'm Christian - A Wife, mother, artist, child of god, and seeker of an intentional and meaningful life.
With a specific focus on organic moments, I aim to capture my subjects artfully and honestly. Fusing creative elements with the real moments, I produce emotive imagery that is altogether soulful and genuine. Eleven years of documenting weddings and my passion continues to grow. I am endlessly inspired by the interplay of light, and I view weddings as intricate, exuberant, and stylishly emotional festivities that continually captivate my heart.
