why this isn’t just photography

Every photographer promises great photos.

I help you create moments worth remembering , so the photos actually mean something.

A pre-wedding date night & practice session. A gallery you’ll obsess over. A love-it-or-your-money-back guarantee.

All-day coverage. Film. Second shooter. And more.

Most photographers hope you love your photos.

I guarantee it.


Before your wedding, we’ll do a full practice session — followed by a date night, on me. You’ll get a cinematic gallery from that session, and if you’re not obsessed, I’ll refund you completely. No questions, no hard feelings. You keep the photos and the memories. I’ll even help you find another photographer.

Because I don’t just want to capture your story. I want to make sure you love how it’s told.

“I cannot even begin to describe how obsessed I am with Christa’s work. She is so so kind and talented & there is not a single photo that I don’t like.”

From Christa:

That’s why the best photos come from the best days. The kind where you're fully present, totally yourself, and completely in love with the moment you’re in.

So my job isn’t just to take beautiful pictures. It’s to help you feel at home on your wedding day.

When you book with me, you're getting more than a photographer. You’re gaining a partner who’s fully invested in you.

Yes, you’ll get cinematic, artful photos. But more than that, you’ll remember how good it all felt.

-Christa

I’ve learned photos are only as good as the memories they hold.

because when you look back, you’ll remember how it felt, not just how it looked.
