I love being both interactive and discrete throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done in order to keep everyone on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) I teach my couples how to pose and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from me!

My photography style is a blend of natural candid moments and lightly guided portraits. Especially when it comes to bride and groom portraits, most of the time, I guide couples with simple prompts and activities, then allow moments to unfold naturally. This approach helps you feel relax and effortless in front of the camera, resulting in genuine emotions and natural interactions that truly tell the story of your wedding day.

No. I carefully curate your gallery to deliver only the very best images. This means removing duplicates, test shots, missed-focus images, unflattering expressions, and anything that may dilute the final collection.

Because I often shoot at wide apertures, I may take multiple images of the same moment to ensure perfect focus. Rather than expecting you to zoom in and compare subtle differences, I thoughtfully select the sharpest and strongest image for you.

The same applies to candid moments—laughter and emotional reactions are some of the most meaningful parts of the day, but they can also result in less flattering expressions. I capture several frames to ensure I deliver the one that best represents the moment.

With my experience processing millions of images, I confidently narrow your gallery to the most beautiful, polished, and emotionally impactful photographs—so you receive a collection that truly tells your story at its best.

I average 75-100 final images per hour that we’re actively shooting throughout the day. This estimate is normally on the lower side since I tend to be over-shooters. I believe in freely sharing my work because that is what we would want if we were in your shoes!

Yes, I personally edit every image I deliver, and each photograph is thoughtfully post-produced using my signature editing style. My approach is natural and timeless—I focus on preserving true-to-life colors, genuine skin tones, and the authentic feel of your day.

I do not apply facial retouching or heavy Photoshop manipulation. Instead, my post-production process includes black-and-white conversions, lens corrections, exposure balancing, cropping and angle adjustments, temperature and tint adjustments, and tonal refinement to ensure every image looks its best.

Many photographers apply minimal editing or fully edit only a small selection of images. This can result in photos that are too dark, have inconsistent skin tones, or show common technical flaws. I believe every delivered image should meet the same professional standard, so your full gallery feels cohesive, polished, and true to the moments you experienced.

Christine will be your lead Photographer. For the second shooter, I will hired an experienced second photographer for your wedding, which we photographers always found on the second shooters groups.

The answer depends on several factors — the size of your wedding, whether your schedule is tight or overlapping, if you're getting ready at multiple locations, and how important it is to you to have multiple angles captured. Click Here to read more about it.

And, the second photographer will typically be present for the same duration as the main photographer, covering the entire booked photography coverage time. This means if the main photographer is booked for 8 hours, the second shooter will also be there for 8 hours. 

My online galleries are integrated with professional print labs in the USA, allowing you to conveniently order high-quality prints directly from your gallery. If you prefer, you are also welcome to download your images and print them anywhere you choose. You may design and print your album on your own, or I’m happy to create a custom album design for you. Your online gallery can also be shared with family and friends so they can view the images and order prints. For security and privacy, downloading is restricted unless you choose to grant them permission. This ensures your images remain protected while still being easy to share.

I always come prepared with backup equipment. On every wedding day, I shoot with two camera bodies paired with different lenses, so I’m always covered if one needs to be swapped out. I also keep an additional backup camera and extra gear in my suitcase and car to ensure there is never an interruption in coverage.

While this has never happened to me, I do have a backup plan in place for peace of mind. I have a trusted network of experienced local photographers I can call on for coverage. Additionally, my husband, Leif, is capable of stepping in if needed.

We have never lost an image from a wedding thanks to our careful, multi-layered backup workflow. During each event, we photograph using dual memory cards, creating an instant in-camera backup of every image. After the wedding, the primary and backup cards are stored separately to protect against loss or damage.

The images are then backed up to online gallery and a local server, and an additional copy is saved to an off-site hard drive. At every stage prior to final delivery, your photos exist in at least two separate locations, ensuring they are always protected.
