Okay, but real talk. Does your brain feel like a browser with 47 tabs open right now? Vendors, guest lists, timelines: it’s so much to keep track of.

This is the day you’ve been manifesting your whole life, and you get one shot at it. No pressure or anything.

The truth is, as exciting as it is, it’s also a lot and that’s completely valid.

As your photographer, it’s my goal to make sure photos are one thing you don’t have to worry about. You need someone you can trust with this because let’s be real: wedding photos are way more than just pics for the ‘gram. They’re the memory of how your day felt with the people you love.

Whether we’re creating cinematic black-and-whites or laughing during sunset portraits, I’ll guide you through a process that feels relaxed, connected, and quietly luxurious.

INVESTMENT

We curate bespoke packages to fit your needs with custom coverage, second shooters, content creation, and instant reception photo delivery available.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY INVESTMENT STARTS AT

4 hour minimum of

$600 per hour

After the wedding, we offer heirloom albums, artisan photo products, and museum-quality wall art.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

I built this brand with one belief—

that wedding photography should feel as elevated as it is emotional. That timeless doesn’t mean traditional. And you deserve a photographer who doesn’t just show up with a camera—but with care, presence, and intention.

Let's Talk

As an experienced wedding photographer I've been featured in multiple wedding publications both online and in print, such as The Knot, Wedding Chicks, and Carats&Cake. I've had the pleasure of shooting the cover photo for Wedding Day magazine and working on various editorials to help inspire couples plan the most beautiful day!

04 — Everything After

“Choosing Chrissy as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We had with such a wonderful experience working with her. My husband and I are both pretty awkward and camera shy, but she made us feel so at ease that our photoshoots were actually really fun!”

– Alexandrea A.
“I am so thankful that Chrystin’s information popped up on my Facebook and that she was willing to make the 3 hour drive to Toledo. I vetted a lot of photographers as it’s the most important vendor of the day. She left me feeling so comfortable and confident.”

—Rachel I.
“We could not recommend Chrissy and her team enough! First, she is so kind, easy to talk to, friendly, and was very responsive to emails and any questions we had! Second, we felt so comfortable with Chrissy and her team. We have never had professional photographs done like this before, and it was such a breeze working with Chrissy!”

—Allison K.
