Jane & John
Welcome
let’s make your wedding day feel like a movie
I just read through everything you shared, & I can already tell how much care you’re putting into this. [“The way you talked about wanting to start the day with a slow morning coffee together before heading to your elopement spot”] says so much about the kind of day you’re creating.
I’m honored you’d trust me enough to reach out, & I’d love to walk you through what it might look like for us to work together.
This page will show you my process, the collections available, & answers to common questions. When you’re ready, you can [schedule a call] to talk through your vision & lock in your date.

Kami & Louie
“RElaxing, no awkwardness, just felt like hanging out with friends!”
Sydney & Chris
“Not only did she deliver images that we felt beautiful in, but the images themselves feel like works of art. She guided us so easily through posing and we had so much fun with her!”
collections
Every collection starts with the same foundation: my team & I by your side, a practice session & dinner with my Try‑It‑First Guarantee, & your photos delivered quickly while the memories are still vivid. What changes is how much time you’d like covered, & which keepsakes & experiences feel right for you.
The Heirloom
-
Twelve hours of coverage means I’m there for the whole arc of your day, from the first quiet moments in the morning to the last dance at night.
-
Your second photographer is there the whole time too, giving us even more coverage from different angles and ensuring we can be in two places at once whenever we need to be.
-
A custom box will arrive at your door after you book, with my wedding guide inside, full of simple tips for planning a day you’ll love & photos that feel natural & cinematic. I’ve included a few extra things I thought you’d enjoy too.
-
Before your wedding, we’ll do a practice session, just time to get comfortable in front of my camera. Afterward, dinner’s on me (just the two of you). When you get your photos, you can favorite & unfavorite images right in your gallery & fill out a short questionnaire. This lets me see exactly what you love (& what you don’t) so I can shape your wedding gallery around what feels most like you, skipping the poses you don’t love & leaning into the ones you do.
-
Booking a wedding photographer usually means deciding “yes” or “no” before you’ve experienced anything. With me, you don’t have to. We’ll start with a practice session & dinner, & you’ll get the photos within 48 hours. If you don’t love how it feels or how the photos turn out, I’ll refund you completely. You keep the photos, the dinner, & no hard feelings. If you do love it (and I think you will), you’ll go into your wedding day knowing you made the right choice.
-
From building a calm timeline to creating a streamlined family photo list, to recommending trusted vendors, I’ll help make sure your day runs effortlessly. You’ll have a planning call link you can use anytime, & you can always text me for quick answers.
-
I’ll be there the night before, capturing the toasts, the hugs, and the quieter moments with your closest people, the kind of moments that don’t always happen on the wedding day itself but are just as meaningful.
-
We’ll take Polaroids throughout the day & hand them to lots of your guests as we go. They’ll leave with little keepsakes of themselves, & by the end of the night, you’ll have your own stack of Polaroids of the two of you.
-
Four rolls of film are included, adding a handful of soft, nostalgic images to your gallery. A timeless look you can’t get any other way.
-
Item description

Every photo is delivered in high resolution, fully edited, & ready to print, share, & save however you like. No watermarks, no extra fees.
-
Your wedding photos won’t sit in a queue. Your full gallery will be ready within one week, the fastest turnaround I offer, so you can share & enjoy your photos right away.
-
A while back, I started creating a few cinematic collages from my couples’ photos, just for fun. Turns out, they loved them. They started sharing them online, printing them, even using them in their wedding albums. Now, I include a set of these custom frames with every gallery I deliver.

Five fine art prints, made from moments you love. Beautiful, cinematic pieces you can keep or share.

A custom, vintage‑inspired movie poster designed just for you.
-
This handcrafted album turns your favorite moments into something you can hold, a tangible keepsake you’ll look through for decades to come.
-
After your gallery is finished, you’ll get a private evening at a local movie theatre for you & your favorite people (subject to theatre availability). We’ll dim the lights, showcase your photos on the big screen, & let you relive your wedding like the cinematic story it is.
“I cannot rave enough about Christa! From the first phone consultation we knew she was the perfect match. We’ve never had our photos professionally taken and she helped us to feel comfortable and confident through the whole process. She’s personable, welcoming, and one of the kindest people we’ve met.”
The Story We’ll Tell
-
Ten full hours of coverage, from those first quiet moments in the morning through the dance floor & beyond. It’s a calm, generous timeline that means nothing feels rushed & every part of your day is documented beautifully.

Your second photographer is there longer too, giving us even more room to cover your day from different angles, whether it’s capturing details while I focus on portraits or getting reactions you might otherwise miss.

“Christa was amazing!! Her style is so fun and unique — She really went above and beyond, from the beginning she took time to get to know us so she could capture who we are, which was just lovely! My favorite part was how she directed us but let us also just be ourselves — it was such a perfect balance. The pictures were beautiful and just what I had hoped!!”

Eight full hours of wedding day coverage, plus we'll arrive early. For most couples, this is enough time to capture every main part of your day without feeling rushed.

“She captured the essence of our love in photos and the way she edits is truly the cherry on top. She has such a calming, genuine energy and makes you feel so comfortable! If you’re in need of a photographer she’s hands down the best choice.”
FAQs
-
To be fair to all couples, I book on a first-come, first-served basis. After our consultation call, I'll send over your contract & booking confirmation. Your date isn’t officially reserved until the contract is signed & the deposit is paid. If another couple completes their booking before you, they get priority for that date. Once your contract & booking confirmation are completed, I will text you with a confirmation!!
-
I don’t include travel fees in my packages because every couple’s day is different. Instead, I give custom ranges based on what’s needed to get me there—no more, no less. That way, you’re only paying for what’s necessary. Plus, I’ve traveled a ton, so I know how to keep costs as low as possible.
-
Don’t worry! I always have a backup plan. Whether we need to move indoors, adjust the schedule, or embrace the elements, I’ll make sure your photos turn out stunning no matter what.
-
You’ll receive sneak peeks within a few days (depending on travel), & your full gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks.
-
Payment is simple. You’ve already secured your date with a deposit. You can pay the remaining balance in one of two ways:
Up to 6 installments, with the final payment due 1 month before your wedding day.
A full, final payment 5 months before your date.
By default, your payment will be set to the second option. If you’d prefer the installment plan, just let me know!
-
Absolutely! I love capturing moments with your pets. Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
-
Check out the resources linked in the planning call section near the top of this page. They can be really helpful as you plan your day. Other than that, just gather any other details or ideas you’d like to discuss, & we’ll go from there.
-
Life happens, & I understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule or cancel, just reach out as soon as possible. We’ll work together to find the best solution.
-
I want to keep stress low, so here’s what you need to know:
I always carry a backup camera & lens during weddings & elopements. If something breaks, I’ll be back up and running in about ten minutes.
Post-event, I take every precaution to protect your photos, but I understand concerns about stolen gear, SD card malfunctions, or other issues. While I don’t expect it, if something does go wrong, I’m committed to making it right. Whether that means rescheduling a shoot or offering a free session later, I’ll do whatever it takes to ensure you have the best experience.

How & When Should I Contact You?
Texting or FaceTime is my favorite way to communicate, but I’m happy to adapt to whatever works best for you!
Feel free to text me anytime—you don’t need to worry about the time of day. I’ve set my notifications only to alert me when I can respond. I aim to reply within 24 hours, 48 hours at the latest. If you don’t hear back from me within that time, please don’t hesitate to reach out again!
Here’s my general communication schedule:
Mon-Tues: 8am-6pm CST
Wednesday: This is my day off, so you can expect to hear from me on Thursday.
