Get to know me

Hey There!

I'm Christy nicole

A born and raised Jersey girl married to a handsome Navy guy living in Virginia Beach. I'm a dog mom of two cuddly Cavalier King Charles, Cooper Henry & Paisley Jane. When I'm not photographing beautiful weddings or portrait sessions, you can find me outside in the garden, reorganizing my home, tending my large collection of house plants, tackling DIY projects, cooking in the kitchen all while sharing all of my life's adventures on Instagram stories.

Whether you just got engaged, eloping to a dreamy location, celebrating your one year wedding anniversary with your husband or expecting your first child, you came to the right place!

Words cannot describe how incredibly happy I am with our wedding photos and my entire experience working with Christy! She was hands down our favorite vendor from our entire wedding. 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.

Christy was seriously the best! 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!!

Jenna & Matt

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

Kate & Sean

I could not have asked for a better photographer! 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.

"Christy makes real life look like a fairy tale! She is an incredibly talented photographer and her photos capture love and happiness in the most perfect way. Christy is also amazing to work with. She is sweet, kind, organized, and fun. She cares deeply about her couples and it shows in her work. My fiancé and I felt like Christy was our friend by the end of the wedding. She is amazing in every way."

"Virginia brides look no further and hire Christy. 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.

Jackie & Pedram

We truly could not be more grateful for having found Christy during our search for a photographer for our wedding day. Working with Christy throughout a naturally stressful wedding planning process was the absolute nicest/biggest breath of fresh air for me - and honestly, our entire wedding experience, right down to the day of, was THAT much better just by having Christy as one of our vendors.

Stacey & Virang

She guided us through our poses until we felt comfortable and at ease. We knew the day of would be no different! When we saw Christy at our wedding, it was like seeing an old friend. We had the best time shooting with her and she even sent me a good amount of preview pictures 2-3 days after the wedding! Christy was a dream to work with and we could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day.
