When we work together on your photography I want to get to know you both and celebrate what makes you great together. Because your relationship, your wedding, and all the emotions that go with should be honored as uniquely yours.
I want you to feel awesome and confident in your pictures. It's natural to be a little nervous in front of the camera, or about being the center of attention on your wedding day. I'm here to help you relax by listening to your needs, using comfortable posing and giving you direction.
I have creative solutions for low light venues, night time portraits, rain and snow on your wedding day. I'm here to support you and will remain flexible to any adjustments you make.

Coverage for full weddings is best when you're planning a full day of events, including ceremony, meal, reception, and possibly more.
These packages include options for second photographers and engagement sessions.
Full wedding coverage starts at 2600.
Simple hourly coverage is available for micro weddings, intimate weddings, courthouse ceremonies & elopements.
Generally, an intimate wedding has 50 or fewer guests, but I'm flexible on a few more, so let's discuss your plans.
“Christa is absolutely wonderful to work with. She’s kind, professional and extremely reliable. She kept us updated through the process. Highly recommended!”

2. I'll say hello, send you helpful links, and ask you to schedule a chat.
3. We chat. You can ask me anything, and get guidance on which options make the most sense for your wedding.
4. Complete your booking through my secure online forms.
5. We'll get started planning awesome photography!
“I cannot put into words how thankful I am that Christa was our photographer for our wedding. She made everything smooth sailing- from helping us plan the time of events the day of, to getting our pictures done in time for the ceremony, to getting us beautifully edited photos. 100% would recommend her services!!” -Ashley
As soon as you know you’re ready, because once a date is booked, it’s booked. If you’re planning in a shorter time frame contact me asap.
Contact me and I'll send you helpful links to more information, plus invite you to a pre-booking call/meeting. If we're a good fit to work together and you’re both completely excited about having me at your wedding-it’s time to reserve your date. I'll send you booking documents to complete online.
20% of your total package is due to reserve your date on my calendar. Your reservation payment & completed booking documents are due within 3 days after they're sent, or your date becomes available to other couples.
I have over a decade of experience as a working professional photographer. I started my photography career in 2008 at a studio. In 2012 I outgrew my studio position and decided to open my own business so I could shoot more weddings.
That’s okay. Most couples don’t have everything figured out right away. I’ll help you decide how much coverage you need based on experience and we can adjust as needed before the wedding day.
In Belle Plaine, Minnesota which is halfway between Minneapolis and Mankato. I enjoy being in a small town very close to the Twin Cities because it allows me to enjoy beautiful natural spaces as well as all the benefits of the cities.
Yes. Travel within about 100 miles of Belle Plaine, MN is included for weddings. This covers the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Mankato, Stillwater, and Rochester areas. If you need more travel let's talk because I love a good road trip! (Travel policy is that lodging and other travel needs will be added for any weddings over 120 miles away, to ensure safe travel.)
I'm always excited to travel somewhere new and bring a fresh perspective to your venue. I can do a tour with you, so I'm familiar with venue spaces and lighting conditions before your wedding day. I also do a lot of research on your venue to plan for your wedding.
My goal is to deliver pictures that feel complete in telling your wedding story.
The final number of pictures you receive depends on how long I’m shooting and what events happen during the wedding.
Yes. I want the colors and light in your pictures to be natural and beautiful. Natural skin softening is done if you need it. However, I don’t do things like give you a tan, cover tattoos, erase every wrinkle on your face, or drastically modify your body.
Editing time will be 8 weeks or less. I hand edit and look at every picture at least twice. I'll also post a little sneak peek to social media the week after your wedding, and provide you with a high resolution version of the preview in your gallery.
(For engagements and other portraits editing time is 2-3 weeks depending on the season.)
Yes! Please do. You get printing rights. You can download your files and use your preferred printer. You also get access to my professional lab with your gallery.
Yes! You're welcome to share them on your social media accounts. You don't have to tag me, but it's awesome when you do!
Yes. I have liability insurance for this reason.
