Cristina G Photography

Our experience working with Cristina for our engagement shoot and wedding this past March has been absolutely amazing!

Finding a photographer for our wedding was one of the last things we decided on. There are so many options in Chicago, but none of the samples we saw really jumped out at us. That was until we found Cristina G's website and blog! Her style was exactly what we were looking for- beautiful and timeless with a focus on emotion and lighting. You can tell immediately that she is a great story teller with her camera! On top of all that, her prices are very reasonable.

We had pretty much made up our mind on Cristina G before we met in person, but we were completely convinced after we met for coffee and spent time talking through our vision, her style, etc. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding Cristina was quick to respond to any questions we had and was very organized!
My husband and I are both a little camera shy, so we decided to do an engagement session the month prior to the wedding to get used to the camera and working with Cristina. I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun afternoon at the lakefront and we got a preview of the great photos we could expect from our wedding! Cristina made sure we got our pictures super quick so that we had time to have some printed to display at the wedding.

The day of the wedding Cristina was on time (even a little early!) and was completely ready to jump in! We didn't have much time before the ceremony, but she managed to capture a few getting ready shots, our first look, pictures around the hotel we got ready at, some shots by the Chicago river, and then a surprise stop on the way to the venue at an adorable ivy-covered house that she had scoped out prior to the wedding! During the ceremony and reception she did such a great job of interacting with our guests in a way that was natural and unobtrusive.

Cristina posted a preview on her blog just days after the wedding! It was an awesome surprise on our honeymoon looking at the fabulous photographs she shot. She captured the vintage style of our wedding in a way that looks straight out of a fashion magazine! The response to our wedding photos by everyone that has seen them has been one unanimous word, "beautiful". We're so happy with our decision to use Cristina G photography and can't wait for another occasion to work with her again!

Cristina captured the essence of my daughters Vintage Style Wedding on March 31, 2012 at Kitchen Chicago in a BREATHTAKING way. When I saw the photos I felt like I was looking at a magazine spread. Every detail and nuance was captured for Heather and David to have and view time and time again. She has such an extraordinary eye.....she is one of those rare photographers that makes the photos come alive for the viewer. It was a magical day...and thanks to Cristina...we have it captured through her photographs. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!!!!!!!!!!

We chose Cristina G because we knew she is a superb wedding photographer because we saw her work through my best friend's wedding and followed her blog as well. For our own wedding, Cristina and Konstantin managed to exceed all of our expectations - this is how good they are!

Cristina G made our wedding a true event to celebrate. After the wedding's over, the only thing left is the memories and the pictures and Cristina G will truly allow you to capture them. The company has very professional people who are there to make you feel comfortable and at ease during your photoshoots, ceremony, reception and all the little times in between.

My husband and I felt completely comfortable and at ease and were so thankful to the photographer for making us feel like that throughout the entire wedding. The quality of the pictures is unbelievable and the way Cristina G approaches you and makes you feel is something you will truly need during your day!

Amazing pictures and happy memories - that is why you should choose this amazing photographer!!!

We were referred to Cristina G by someone at the W Hotel who had worked with the company on a few occasions and had only great things to say. I had done my research on wedding photographers and after viewing her website I fell in love! The photos are unique and beautiful and Cristina is extremely professional and made me and my husband feel so comfortable during both our engagement and wedding photo sessions. They were on time on the wedding day and made sure that all necessary pictures were taken. I can't say enough how much we appreciated the work of Cristina G and it was worth EVERY penny. Everyone has commented on how unique, creative and just absolutely beautiful the pictures of the engagement and wedding turned out and I recommend this company to anyone!

Choosing our wedding photographer was definitely the most stressful detail of our wedding planning journey. My husband and I both knew we wanted amazing, quality photographs and were on a mission to book the perfect photographer. After all, the photos are what you have left after the whirlwind of the day passes and time begins to blur all the memories! With so many options out there, it was overwhelming to even begin the search. I was told about Cristina G Photography by a co-worker who had just booked Cristina for her own upcoming wedding. We decided to take a look at her website and blog and haven't looked back since! The entire team has such a talent and, what we thought was even more important, a passion for what they do. We decided to have both Cristina and Konstantin capture our day for us and it is obvious both of them truly LOVE what they do. It was amazing to see their faces light up as they realized they just captured the moment perfectly or found the perfect light or angle. Cristina made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning and Konstantin actually helped ease my husband's nerves while he was photographing all the guys before the ceremony. We were lucky enough to see about 50 of our photos on her blog and on her Facebook page only five days after our wedding. We were blown away with how amazing they all were and got nothing but wonderful comments from family and friends who saw them. We are SO happy with our little preview that we keep forgetting we still have all the rest to see in a few weeks! Do yourself a favor and check out the photographs on Cristina's blog and Facebook page...they speak for themselves!

I was referred to Cristina G Photography by one of their past brides, and I’m not at all surprised. I can’t really imagine a better vendor to work with. They made me feel like I was their only bride for the year (which is far from reality) from our very first meeting. My husband hates posing for pictures, but Konstantin and Cristina have a gift for making photography fun. After our engagement session my husband was actually excited to have wedding pictures taken! We had a 20 person bridal party and I was so impressed with how effective the team was in getting great shots in such a short period of time. Everyone that has seen our “sneak peak” absolutely raves about them! My husband and I truly feel like we’re still walking on clouds from our wedding day. It is so wonderful to know we have each moment, detail, and emotion we were feeling captured in gorgeous photos forever. I would highly recommend Cristina G Photography to anyone looking for a group of extremely talented, caring, and professional individuals. I honestly cannot wait to have them shoot our “day after” session. We get to hang out with our friends again!

Cristina G. Where do I begin ... fate brought me and Cristina together. I found her simply by googling images of the ceremony venue and, thank the gods, she had already shot a wedding there. That's how I found her and she was the only photographer we met with. I feel like I caught a shining star on the rise. I love, not just her journalistic approach to weddings and keen eye, but her dogged dedication to capturing emotion and creating unique compositions. Words cannot describe the excitement with which I viewed my photos ... there were so many moments I didn't realized were being so beautifully documented! So not only is she an unbelievably talented photographer, she is also the consummate professional and even better, a genuinely good person. When, standing in the middle of Olive Park, we realized that my white sweater was shedding all over Jerry's navy suit, Cristina instantly busted out a travel lint brush from her bag. The girl is prepared for anything. And she's just a joy to work with-- funny, easygoing, reliable. I frequently find myself plotting how I can continue our friendship now that the wedding is over ...

When I first began researching photography for my wedding I decided that I wanted to choose a photographer that worked for themselves and wasn't a freelancer at a large company. After all, the photos are the longest-lasting part of your wedding day!

Cristina G from Cristina G Photography was amazing to work with. I knew right after our initial meeting that she would be perfect for my wedding day. Throughout the planning process communication between us was effortless, and the engagement session was a great chance for my husband and I to get to know our photographer.

I have received SO MANY compliments on my pictures from the wedding day, especially the outdoor night-shots in Chicago. Cristina was able to make the buildings, street lights, and cars in the background look beautiful and artistic.

Finally, the album that Cristina designed using the pictures we chose is flawless. I look at it almost every day!

Overall, I highly recommend choosing Cristina G Photography for you big day, you will not be disappointed!

Cristina is an amazing photographer. I used Cristina for my engagement and wedding photos. She is very talented and will produce beautiful pictures. She is a lot of fun to work with, very friendly and she makes you feel comfortable. She makes the process fun and easy.

She takes beautiful pictures and is amazing to work with. Look at her website and blog, all the photos are amazing. She makes you very comfortable. I am so glad I choose her for my wedding photos!

Not only is Cristina a true artist, she is a great person to work with. Her vision and taste shines through in her professional and friendly attitude. During our wedding and engagement session she did a great job making us both feel comfortable and truly captured the true couple we are. During our wedding she came in and immediately put me at ease by directing all my girls and getting things done quickly without rushing us and sacrificing good shots. She was very mindful that my husband and I didn't want to see one another before the wedding and she communicated with the other photographer so we never crossed paths. This took a lot of pressure off of our maid of honor and best man. Before the wedding she did a great job of capturing all the details from the ceremony decorations to the centerpieces. She was everywhere we needed her. During the ceremony neither she nor Konstanin were obtrusive as we walked down the aisle. They really blended into the atmosphere and we didn't feel like we were on a photo shoot instead of cherishing our ceremony. Both Cristina and Konstantin were great at working with our families to get through the photos we wanted with all the people we wanted without taking too much time away from our reception. The two of them were everywhere throughout our reception and between the two of them each moment was captured. I would recommend each of these wonderful photographers to anyone. Cristina is a wonderful artist and her photos bring out the personality of the subject. She is a wonderful woman to work with and she made our wedding, and the memories of that day, perfect!

Words can't explain how happy we are that we chose Cristina G Photography to photograph our wedding. She has a great knack for detail, she listens to her clients, she has a great creative eye and she's so sweet. When we showed our friends and family who weren't able to attend the wedding our sneak peek photos, everyone said that they felt like they attended the wedding because the photos captured the entire the essence of our beautiful day. We've also had many people compliment the photos saying that they look like they belong in a magazine. Cristina and Konstantin did an awesome job of translating our big day into images that we will keep and share for years to come. We highly recommend using Cristina G Photography for any important event.

Konstantin & Scott shot our Chicago wedding in September 2011 and did an absolutely amazing job! We were looking for a photojournalistic photographer who had an eye for capturing the real moments of the ceremony and reception and Konstantin was right on the money. I was exteremely rushed in the morning (hair and makeup ran super late) and we had about 10 minutes to take pictures at the hotel with my dress, me getting dressed, putting on jewelry, bridal portraits, etc. and Konstantin managed to get some great shots without making me look like I was freaking out! (because with 10 minutes to get dressed, I WAS) There was quite a bit of time between the ceremony and reception and Konstantin knew exactly where to take us to take beautiful pictures in the city (planned and unplanned locations). Once we were at the reception, we running a little behind schedule. Konstantin told us not to worry and he would stay as long as we needed him to get the photos we needed. Suffice it to say, we had a blast and our amazing photographers did a wonderful job capturing all of our important moments. My husband and I could not be more happy with the photos and the professionalism of Konstantin and the rest of the crew at Cristina G Photography. Great people, great price and simply stunning work!

One of the toughest things to do was to find a photographer for our wedding. You want to make sure you can find someone who has a unique style, but who can also mold that style to match who you are as a couple. Cristina G Photography far exceeded our expectations. When we saw the first few photos from our wedding (she even blogged about our wedding!), we were smiling just as big as we were the day we got married. The photos literally brought us back to that wonderful day. All the joy we felt, every swell of emotion, came rushing back over us - she truly captured us and our day, and captured it in her unique brand of fashion-magazine style photography coupled with true artistic vision and candidness. That's hard to do, even harder to pull it all off with grace and professionalism....and she made it sooooo easy! From the first moment we spoke to her until the present, she has been patient, kind, organized, professional, and direct. Hell, she was the best vendor we had at our wedding - she was even making sure our limo driver knew exactly where we needed to go, and at what time. She was on point the entire time, which made us be on point, too! And each time we met with her prior to the wedding, including our engagement photo session (which I highly recommend - it helps her get an idea of how to work with you, and gives you an idea of how much fun it's going to be working with her), we felt like we were the only couple she was photographing, even though we knew how in demand she was. I could go on and on about the merits of Cristina G Photography......and I would never tire singing her praises. Her rates are hard to beat, her organization and professionalism are hard to beat, the photographs she takes are hard to beat, and having a friend the day of your wedding, a vendor who is 100% in your corner, is pretty hard to beat, too.

I'm an art director by profession, so I'm a bit particular about photography. Needless to say, choosing the right photographer for my wedding was one of the most important items on my list. Cristina's work is beautiful. She is creative, professional, and super easy to work with. Her style is unique and very artistic, and it's easy to tell that she truly loves her work. I got SO many compliments on my engagement pictures...and my wedding pictures are even more beautiful. Working with Cristina was a great experience, and one that I'd highly recommend!

Our first meeting with Cristina was in a coffee shop. I could tell she was organized and professional. Her portfolio spoke volumes about her experience and artistic eye. We booked her shortly thereafter and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our engagement session allowed us to become more comfortable in front of the camera. I was mesmerized by the engagement pictures. We had never looked so good! On our wedding day, Cristina and Konstantin captured many priceless moments. Their pictures are simply works of art. I can't wait to frame them on the wall! If you choose Cristina and Konstantin, it's a guarantee your wedding pictures will be PHENOMENAL!!! My only regret is that we did not hire them for the entire day. 6 hours only allowed 30 minutes of pictures before the ceremony. If we had them for a few hours before the ceremony, cocktail hour could have been spent taking more pictures with family. Hire Cristina and Konstantin ALL day!!! :)

There are not enough words to express what an amazing experience working with Cristina was! I did a lot of research on many photographers in the area, and couldn't be happier with our choice! Her level of service is excellent and the quality of our pictures are priceless! She did more than I could have ever expected in capturing our wedding day along with producing breathtaking photos! I have received many compliments from family and friends as well! If I ever need a photographer in the future there will be no doubt that she will be our first choice!

I researched for a long time for the perfect photographer. I met with numerous photographers and knew right away that Cristina was the photographer that I wanted to capture our big day. She took engagement photos for us and I absolutely loved them. As the wedding day came closer, I had no worries about how the photographs would turn out. Cristina was very professional and always responded back in a timely fashion. I was so excited when I saw the photos. She captured the day beautifully. I would recommend Cristina with no reservations.

Cristina is such a pleasure to work with! We found her website when we were searching for engagement photographers, and simply fell in love with the beautiful photos that we saw. We knew immediately that we wanted her to shoot our engagement photos, but were beyond thrilled to learn that she was also willing to travel to New Jersey for our wedding! When Cristina took the time to scope out our destination town during a personal trip to the east coast, we knew we had made the right choice! Cristina is clearly passionate about what she does, and this passion shows in every image that she creates. She truly considers her clients' wishes and personalities, and has an exquisite attention to detail. We could not have imagined a more seamless wedding day or more beautiful images to cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Cristina to any couple planning a destination wedding!

FABULOUS!!!!!    
Cristina is the best!!! Not only is she accomodating and a total perfectionist but she is fun and easy to work with!!! Both my husband and I are a bit camera shy, well, she was able to pull out of us our inner selves and capture who we really are. It was ideal having our engagement photos to help with that and she and her team blended in and were just great!! She goes over each photo and makes sure it is up to par and then sends it out to us, even with her crazy schedule she was able to get us the engagement photos and some of the ceremony photo's in time for both the ceremony and second reception!!! Which I have to tell you wasn't a lot of time in between each.

Cristina is an amazing photographer and such a pleasure to work with. Her vision is something this is unmatched, and her pictures prove it. She captures the story of the day, not only the people but the emotion, love, and thought that truly goes into a wedding. The candid shots that her and Konstantin captured were so incredibly amazing. We cannot wait to put the photo album together, but it is going to be really hard narrowing down our favorites!

My advise - get the second photographer. Cristina's partner, Konstantin, took some amazing shots and it was really worth having two different views of the day! Absolutely amazing!!

We love your work Cristina and will be following your blog, keep doing what you love.

~Stephanie & Pat

Cristina has true talent and you certainly wont be disappointed! You would be lucky to have her capture your special day in a creative and timeless way. Set your hopes high, Cristina delivers!

My wife was very camera shy, and Cristina was able to calm her nerves while taking some amazing photos. She really knew how to capture the moment. She is such a little photographer, and I was afraid she was going to slip through some railroad tracks into the river below, but that didn't stop her. All our family remarked about how great the pictures were and we would definitely hire her again.

Our wedding day was insane and stressful. We even forgot to kiss after our vows! The only thing that it seems I did right was hire Cristina. She has wonderful tips for a bride to do before the big day. Listen to her, she literally knows everything because she's seen it all. We were completely exhausted and she somehow made us look spectacular. Her eye as a photographer is completely fantastic. Her skills are perfection. The colors in her photographs are just right. Fifty years from now we are going to have our kids and hopefully their kids say, "Look at this photograph!" This is why we chose her. She knows exactly what she is doing. She was a fabulous nerve counselor for the day as well. Did I say that she has a great personality? She does. Let your anxiety go, smile, trust her and just be you. Her photography skills are one of a kind. This woman's work is timeless, classic and always elegant. We would hire her again for other occasions as well. I forgot to say that she drove to Iowa for us. Like I said, completely fantastic! Having her as our photographer is something I don't regret. She is worth it. She truly is a master of her craft. She basically came into a train wreck and made it look beautiful.

I can't say enough about Cristina G! Cristina photographed my wedding and engagement session, and the pictures have come out beautifully. Cristina has an amazing amount of talent, which shines through in her work. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout the day. Within hours, she already sent me one of her favorite photos from the day, and within days, she sent me several more as a preview of what else was to come. Many of my friends have told me that our pictures look like they came straight out of a magazine! Cristina's artistic shooting style made our photos unique and gorgeous. I highly reccommend her to any Chicagoland bride!

All of my friends and family knew that the photography one of the most important aspects to our wedding. Not only is my husband a photography snob, but I am pretty artsy myself and enjoy things that are "different". We met Cristina on Facebook, through a mutual friend's page and set up a meeting with her. She is actually the very first vendor we booked outside of our wedding planner! Just meeting Cristina is an experience in itself - she is a tiny women with an amazing eye for detail. I would say that she really specializes in finding beauty and detail in the most simple things. Her packages are very affordable compared to those of photographers that answer to studios, and you always work personally with her. Her packages all include an engagement shoot so you can get to know one another. Three days before the wedding she also did a walk through with me looking at different places to take pictures near the church etc. She also works with a second shooter who is equally amazing if you want to double your luck with your pictures. Cristina is very personable and I would recommend her to any family member or friend planning a wedding.

Cristina made everything easier for us... We love the pics and everyone else does too.
She's reliable, professional, and helpful. We had our pics ready with rush-service in a week.
Thank you, Cristina.

Cristina was amazing!! Within 24 hours she had already emailed us some pictures. She is a pure JOY to work with, extremely friendly and a FANTASTIC photographer. I can NOT recommend her ENOUGH! I have had people insist that our pictures are from a magazine. Her eye for detail is pure perfection!!

She was always VERY quick to reply to emails and phone calls. Very professional. She made everything on our end seem so effortless and easy. If I could give Cristina a rating higher than a 5 I would in a heartbeat!!!

Thank you Cristina for working with me to make my vision come to life..you are just amazing!!

*Update* We used Cristina ONCE AGAIN for our formal reception. Cristina took our wedding ceremony pictures months before and now it was time to use her for the part 2.

Again, I can not say ENOUGH about her. She had teaser photos sent to me in 24 hours and people are already raving (No surprise there!) I still stand by what I said in my earlier review. I can not wait to see all of our pictures!! Cristina, you are such an amazing person and photographer. I will stand by you and your services all of my life. You have a loyal customer FOREVER!!

When you hire Cristina, you not only get a photographer, you're also getting an artist and a storyteller. After our initial consult I never doubted our decision of using her to capture our wedding day. Our finished photos showed all of the life and storyline behind our special day and that is someting we will be grateful for forever.

One of the many things that set Cristina apart from the much larger, (less personable) photography corporations is her genuine passion for capturing great photos. It was a blessing to see her excitement about finding the perfect lighting or the perfect spots for our engagement pictures. And find the perfect lighting and spots she did! We cannot count the compliments received on our photos!

Cristina is extremely professional, always on time, and really the best thing is having someone with amazing talent capture your day that is truely excited to be there doing exactly that.

Choosing Cristina G Photography was hands-down THE best decision I made for my wedding day. Our photos are so beautiful, words cannot accurately describe them. I'm obsessed! I look through them (all 603) almost daily. Your wedding day goes SO quickly, but you have your photos to relive that day for the rest of your life. The cherry on top with Cristina is that she's truly delightful! I now am lucky to call her a friend. Bonus: the price is totally fair!

I am so incredibly thankful that I found Cristina G. Photography to capture our wedding! Cristina clearly has a natural talent & an eye for creating beautiful art out of life’s intimate moments. After following her work from other weddings, too, I can see that her photos never fail to capture the personality & love of each couple in a special way. She is always available to answer questions, very professional at events, & truly desires to tailor her work to fit your style. Unlike so many photography companies today, where you can’t be sure which person will show up to do your event, Cristina is there for you from beginning to end. The relationship that she builds with her clients is invaluable in her creating the picture-perfect story of your special day! Thank you, Cristina, for capturing the emotions & moments of our wedding. We now have a beautiful way to remember that day, & we will absolutely be recommending you to everyone we know!

Cristina is an extremely talented photographer. Beyond that she provides superior customer service and is willing to go the extra mile to make your pictures extra special. She always responds to e-mails or voice mails within a day, she was willing to work within our budget and she was an absolute doll when we dragged her all over the city for our engagement pictures! All of her work is absolutely amazing. We loved every one of our engagement and wedding pictures, my husband even gets teary-eyed when we look through our wedding pics :).

Cristina was great! Her pictures are amazing. It took longer to get pictures back than it would have with some photographers but that is only because she spent so much time editing. The lighting effects in the pictures were fabulous and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. We will be hiring her again in the future for other life events for sure!

Anyone who knows me well knows that I hate having my picture taken. At the same time, I long to have good pictures where I like the way I look and can display them as memories of friendships and events I care deeply about. Cristina not only made me, and my now husband, feel comfortable, but the entire process was much more fun and enjoyable than I could ever imagine. That comfort combined with her ability to capture raw and beautiful emotions in an artistic way makes for some incredible wedding photos and should make her a natural choice for a couples' wedding photog. We also used some of her innovative shots in interesting ways and have a canvas of one of our engagement pics that we turned into our wedding ketubah. I love her creative spin, her eye, and her instinct for knowing when and how to candidly capture a moment. I give her my highest recommendation and cannot imagine that she'll disappoint.

SUPER SUPER SUPER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Not only are her photos breathtaking, she made the entire experience wonderful!! Great communication, cost was perfect for our budget and well well well worth it! Her creativity is amazing! Can't wait for her to do our future baby photos!!

She's a photojournalist with a gift for documenting and editing jaw-dropping images. Professional and friendly, Cristina is a talented artist with good business sense. My husband and I agreed immediately she was the photographer for us. We paid a flat fee (8-hour package) and loved the fact there were no "games" as with the big studios (e.g., we knew exactly who our photographer would be, didn't have to buy a certain amount of prints or wedding album or wait one year before receiving a dvd and rights to our pics). Guests at the wedding commented on her ever-present but non-overbearing style and friendly approach. Easy to work with, she sent sneak-preview pics immediately. Ask her about our photo thank you cards (her idea) - guests are still raving about them. Her images are a treasure. On a daily basis we appreciate her photos in our home and are very thankful Cristina was the one to document our big day! You'll love her!

Cristina exceeded our expectations for our May 29, 2010 wedding in Chicago.
She we an answer to our prayers after we had such an unfortunate experience with another photography "chop shop" corporation. I was a bit apprehensive meeting with photographers again after being burned by GSPV, but she was extremely professional and immediately made us feel very comfortable. She was different than the meetings with the large corporate-feel photography studios - but that is what we liked about her. And we were meeting with the actual photographer! not some wet-behind-ears sales person. She answered all our questions, showed us examples of her work, she fit in our budget and she put us at ease. We didn't feel pressured by a cheesy sales "shtick". Cristina is just passionate about what she does for a living you can see that in her as soon as you meet her! Rick and I knew instantly that we finally found our photographer!
After the "pre-wedding" engagement session, my husband and I knew we struck gold. Her ES pictures were phenomenal! She really knew how to work with us, direct us and manage our poses - and you could really tell by the photos, we got SOOO many compliments. So this made us very confident going into the wedding day. We knew what she wanted from us in our poses, and she knew what we wanted from our pictures. The 3 of us met a week before the wedding to go over logistics, desired locations and back-up plans. She then took that info and created a tentative itinerary/ schedule for us. And fortunate for us - the weather cooperated so we did not need to revert to the back-up plan for indoor shots.
Cristina arrived on the wedding day looking spectacular! She looked professional yet elegant- she looked like a beautiful friend of mine who was attending the wedding as a guest! She was also right on time! My wedding party really took to her as well - they all really liked working with her and were eager to cooperate with her as well (its a tough job trying to coordinate over 20 people in a pose!). She made sure to get all of the shots I requested - even when I was distracted at the reception, she made a point to get a few of my favorites. I am glad she did-those turned out to be my favs!
We ended up getting over 600 images...in HIGH RES, and only a month after the wedding! we were amazed she was able to edit them all that fast! We were thrilled when she delivered the final DVDs of photos. She also presents them beautifully in a lovely hard-cover leather book. I am so happy we were able to find Cristina - she was a blessing! Photos are what you have to remember the most important day in your life. If the images are as important to you as the memories then go with this quality photographer - not a factory photographer. You will be thrilled with the expertise of Cristina G. She has an amazing creative eye, and is a true photography genius. I still get chills when I see all the new photos she posts. Her photos just keep getting better and better! Thanks Cristina - you really helped make our wedding so special!

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! I have nothing but great things to say regarding Cristina G Photography. I only wish that I could give her a higher rating than 5 stars! Glamour and beauty are truly Cristina's passion. That, and her ability to capture the best of a moment on film make her a true artist. She gives you the emotion and beauty that you want to see in wedding pictures....ones that will allow you to relive the day for a lifetime.

Cristina was all around wonderful -- very responsive, professional, and most importantly, took wonderful sets of photos. We received so many compliments on how great our wedding photos are. Her fee is also very reasonable given the services she provides. I recommend Cristina to any brides.

Cristina is a very personable and passionate photographer. She has a style that is creative and unique, in such a way that our wedding pictures represent and reflect our own style. She doesn't offer a "one size fits all" type of service. She made our wedding feel special and unique by bringing out in pictures specific details that stood out. For an affordable price, we had our wedding day memorialized in top quality, unique photographs forever. Thank you, Cristina.

We first met Cristina in 2008 when we booked her for our September wedding. More than a year and a baby later and I just got around to post this long overdue review.
It must be because of how busy we have been admiring all the wonderful memories she has created for us!!!
Cristina documented our wedding, my pregnancy, baby shower, baby's first photos at the hospital, baby Christening and several portrait sessions since then! She has a special way of making you feel and look your very best with every image she takes.
I always tell her how in real life I never look as beautiful as I do in the images she captures!
We are so very lucky to have found her! We absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone!

Cristina is so so so so so so amazing. The pictures made me cry of happiness, they were exactly what I wanted and more. I can not express in words, how thankful I am for Cristina! She is the best photographer EVER! I cant thank her enough. She was great on the wedding day, making sure we looked good in the shots and she took the most beautiful pictures. If you want fantastic wonderful pictures that last a lifetime; then pick Cristina G.

Cristina G provided amazing pictures for us to enjoy and look back on for the rest of our lives. They turned out more gorgeous than we could have imagined. She was not only extremely professional, but she was very friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. She was very involved in taking pictures and trying to capture every moment without being intrusive. The price was affordable and was worth it. If we did it all over again, we would still have chosen Cristina G Photography!

Cristina was cooperative, creative, and VERY flexible throughout the wedding planning process, and also on the day of the wedding. We wanted a photographer who would be receptive to our ideas, but also would use her professional judgement to take the best pictures for our wedding, and that's exactly what we got with Cristina! It rained on our wedding day and was unseasonably cold, so instead of having all my family members wait in the cold to take family pictures, she suggested we do our wedding party pictures right then and do the family pictures later, inside the reception hall. It turned out to be a GREAT judgment call (and one I didn't have to stress over on the day of!), as the family was comfortable, and Cristina chose a gorgeous staircase to take the pictures on! I rated her 4 out of 5 stars on quality because there were certain pictures that I thought could have been taken a little differently; but overall, Cristina had some great ideas and took some really fantastic photos that we will cherish forever.

Cristina did an absolutely fanastic job and we were very happy with our photos. She was flexible with the photography scenes/locations and also creative in terms of finding them prior to our wedding. We'd highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Cristina G Photography! She has great artistic talent, and the enthusiasm and creativity you want from your wedding (and engagement) photographer. Her photographs are stunningly beautiful and capture the love and joy of your day.
