Behind the Lens

“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.”

-Ansel Adams

CHRISTINA

She’s also the voice behind the scenes, keeping everyone connected and up to date with what’s happening at C R PHOTOS. The list of qualities she brings to the table is truly extensive.


As an artist, Christina has a deep love for fine art photography, which fuels her passion for creating imagery that feels original, intentional, and meaningful. She’s always dreaming up new concepts and seeking out whimsical locations around town to bring each session to life. Her commitment to continued education ensures that C R PHOTOS stays inspired, refined, and aligned with the ever-evolving world of photography.

We're A Well-Oiled Machine

After almost two decades of working side by side, we’ve developed a seamless approach that allows us to work at our very best—balancing creativity and efficiency while capturing the moments that matter most. We understand that being in front of the camera can feel intimidating for many, which is why we’ve made it our mission to create an experience that feels natural, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. The moments created during your session are just as meaningful as the images themselves.

Photography isn’t simply what we do—it’s a part of who we are. We feel incredibly blessed to do what we love every single day, and it’s an honor to tell your story through our lens.

WHY C R PHOTOS?

Light

Lights. Camera. Action. Light comes first for a reason; and it’s something we never compromise on. We’re constantly seeking out the most beautiful, natural light, and when it’s not available, we thoughtfully create it. By incorporating off-camera lighting into every wedding we photograph, we’re able to maintain a consistent, elevated look—no matter the environment or conditions.

Professional Skills

With 17 years in the wedding photography industry, combined with our formal training in Fine Art, we’re prepared for just about anything your day may bring.

Perfect Equipment

Photography is as technical as it is creative—and we take both seriously. As certified Nikon professionals, we arrive fully equipped with the latest gear to capture your day with precision and intention.

Teammates

Two is always better than one—especially when it’s a husband-and-wife team who can communicate without saying a word. With years of experience behind us, we know that weddings today require more than a single perspective. Having two photographers allows us to capture your day more fully, seamlessly, and intentionally. We also bring both a male and female perspective, offering a unique and well-rounded approach that ensures every moment is thoughtfully documented.

Invested

From start to finish, you’ll be working with us—and only us. We’ve intentionally kept our business personal, allowing us to walk hand-in-hand with you every step of the way. Because of that, your experience is never passed off or outsourced. It’s built on real connection, consistency, and a genuine understanding of your vision from beginning to end.

Focusing Knowledge

We’re here to support you from start to finish carefully crafting your timeline and guiding you through every detail to ensure your day unfolds effortlessly. And because no wedding day is ever completely predictable, we thoughtfully plan for the unexpected—so you can remain fully present in every moment.
