IT’S MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY,
IT’S A CONNECTION

She is such a caring and fun person to have at your wedding! Chrissy makes it easy for people who are camera shy to be comfortable. You can really tell how much she cares about your day and the work she puts into it. On top of all this, she was seamless and understanding when our wedding was rescheduled from COVID. Our second shooter was Amy and they were just as fun to talk to as they were to work with!
