'If you want someone to not only photograph your special experience, but also make it more wonderful by their care and presence, this is the photographer you want."
The final products are visually stunning and can speak for themselves, but what I want others to understand is how fun and easy it is to work with Christina.
- CHRIS and STEPH -
"Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for being our wedding day MVP!"
You completely saved the day at least twice and your photos have us totally star-struck! Our images are SO beautiful and all I want to do is stare at them all day!! Everyone who has seen the photos keeps saying how gorgeous they are & we are just so appreciative and amazed by how beautifully you captured our wedding day!!
- Sophie and Pat -
"Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding today! Ryan and I had an absolute blast and the guests loved you!"
Everyone raved about you, as you were so organized and thorough, with an amazing cheerful personality to boot! We were so thankful that you were there to capture our day. Thanks for being an overall joy to work with!
- Fefe and Ryan -
"The pictures are absolutely stunning. They are all so beautiful and we get compliments on them all the time."
As a bonus, Christina is so great to have around during the pre-wedding pictures (and craziness). She is sweet and professional. Her calm and positive attitude was great for the day of. At one point she even tracked down some champaign for me!
- Ramon & Shelbey -
"I am so pleased with our photos! And I was so surprised at how much fun we had taking them! "
You can tell she's thought through the details and knows what to expect or recommend. And she has a wonderful personality that makes you feel right at ease! Wedding planning is HARD, but CMSours Photography was the easiest and most rewarding decision of the entire process!

FAQ
I typically deliver 50-100 photos per hour. So that means if you have an 8 hour Wedding, you can expect anywhere from 700-1000 photos (or more ;)). But don't worry about being overwhelmed--with every Gallery, I create a "Wedding Story" of the Day's Highlights and then sort the photos into buckets based on your timeline. Some typical sections besides your Wedding Story include, "Getting Ready, First Look, Ceremony and Reception."
I'm going to edit up your photos to reflect the lovely, natural and colorful YOU! If you like what you're seeing here, you are going to LOVE your photos. I hand edit and select each photo so that it's as bright and colorful as your day. For the photo savvy, that means I'm hand editing for Exposure, White Balance and Color Tone.
YES! As fun as it is to have photos whenever we want on our phones, your Wedding photos deserve to be shown off! You have a full Print License with every package to print those babies to your heart's desire! I also offer convenient professional printing right from your gallery so you don't have to do the whole Thumb-drive thing ;) My standard album is an heirloom quality, 20 spread (40 page) album with a Linen Cover and Embossing designed by yours truly. I hand select the photos that best tell your Wedding Story with a round of revisions for any photos you want to swap in. You also have the option to upgrade to a Premium album for more Photos, a Leather Cover and other perks.
It totally depends on your timeline and wedding! I typically recommend extending second shooter coverage if you have 150+ guests or if you have extra events at your reception you want multiple angles of! More second shooter coverage means more final photos :)
I have some poses in my pocket that I will guide you through in the beginning of our session so that we can warm up and get past the awk "we're taking photos" phase--cause let's be real, we all feel a little awk in front of a camera at first! I’ll let you know where to look, what to do with your hands and what direction I’d like you to face. After we get through the first few photos we usually start loosening up. We’ll play some games. Have some laughs. You might even find out something new about your fiancé! The goal is that by the end you’ll be relaxed and just having fun with each other!
Pshhht I LOVE to travel. If you have a Destination Wedding, let's chat! I sometimes can sneak in special Destination rates for spots on my Wish List!
You do not have to be getting married on the beach for us to be a good match! I love shooting wedding all around California from Napa to San Diego!
