More about Christy

wife, Dog mom & fine art creative

"She was flexible and even worked us into her busy wedding season schedule to take gorgeous engagement photos at the crowded beach…​Her artistic creative eye made us look like the only 2 people for miles! When we received our engagement photos I was SO EXCITED that SHE was the one capturing our special day. Her photography is gorgeous and timeless!!! I know we will treasure all of her photos for decades and can’t wait to use her again for future family photos. If she is available for your date I’d recommend her 100% she will surpass any expectation. There are a lot of photographers to choose from. If you have high standards she won’t let you down!'

"she will surpass any expectation."

Kelsey & Dan

"If you are considering Christy for photos, I can not recommend her services enough! I had the most wonderful experience having her as our photographer for our small elopement style wedding. She’s very attentive to detail, very accommodating to your requests, and amazing at making whatever vision you have in mind come to life. I had never been in front of a camera professionally before and she made sure that all my photos came out great- she directed me, gave me tips, and made sure my poses looked natural and not stiff. Such a down to earth woman too! She really puts a lot of time into her work."

"Everyone at the wedding loved how friendly and personable she was." 

Briana & Chris

"Christy is by far the most amazing photographer! Her work is nothing like I've ever seen before and I constantly get asked by friends + others about who did my wedding photos, since she is so talented. Not only does she create the most beautiful photos but she is so fun to work with! Wedding photos with big families can be tiresome on a wedding day -but not with Christy! She brings the fun and energy and makes you feel so special. The bridal party absolutely loved her as well!"

"Not only does she create the most beautiful photos but she is so fun to work with!"

JorDana & Mitch

"Words cannot express how talented Christy is!! She’s sweet, bubbly, easy to talk to, extremely organized and made us feel so at ease both during our engagement photos and our wedding shoot. Most importantly, she took the time to listen to us, making sure she captured certain specific shots we wanted photographed. She captured every little detail and made it possible for us to re-live our wedding every day."

"She made it possible for us to re-live our wedding every day."

Jackie & Pedram

"I was a COVID bride and with the constant change of situations, I knew I could always count on her. She was so great to work with. I really appreciated her organization, especially amidst the craziness of all of the moving plans. The photos are GORGEOUS!!!! ALL of my family and friends continually GUSH about the light and beauty of my wedding photos. I know I will treasure the photos for the rest of my life!!"

"I really appreciated her organization"

Jenna & Matt

"Words cannot describe how incredibly happy I am with our wedding photos and my entire experience working with Christy! From the initial phone conversation to the day of, she was so easy and enjoyable to work with. It was such a relief to have found a photographer that I could trust – I had complete confidence in her and it was one less thing to worry about."

"She was hands down our favorite vendor from our entire wedding." 

Megan & Matt

"She is very responsive and thorough in sharing and collecting important information about the wedding day. The day of, it felt like having another friend in the room with us as we were getting ready for the ceremony. Everyone was in awe of the little touches Christy used to capture all of the special details."

"From start to finish Christy was an absolute pleasure to work with."

Kate & Sean

"From the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew she would be a perfect fit for us. During our entire wedding day, everyone came up to me complimenting how great Christy was (not just with photographing but how sweet and kind she was!). She kept the day on schedule and coordinated with each of our vendors before and during the wedding to ensure everything went smoothly."

"I could not have asked for a better photographer!"
