Kind words from our couples around the world:

 

Our friends and family were over the moon about her professionalism, the fact that she is super chill and could make everyone feel at ease. Even during our private photoshoot she made us feel comfortable. She gave clear instructions and the result is fantastic. She made our wedding and the memories of it unforgettable.”

Your Story, My Lens – Shall We Dance?

“We live in the U.S. and putting all of your trust in someone across the world to photograph your wedding can be intimidating. Christie exceeded our expectations. She was extremely professional, responsive over email (a key when planning a wedding in another country), and her artistic eye in our photographs brought us to tears!”

-Meagan & Cody, USA
