Cristina G Photography Photographer

Cristina absolutely crushed it as our wedding photographer! From the welcome party to the last dance, she captured every amazing moment of our entire wedding weekend with so much care and talent. Every photo brings us right back to the joy, laughter, and love we felt, and we can’t stop looking through them. She even had our sneak peek of 300+ photos ready for us within 1.5 weeks so we were able to re-live the night during our honeymoon. Cristina has an incredible eye for detail and somehow managed to be everywhere without us even noticing, capturing candid, emotional moments that we will treasure forever. She made us and our families feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her energy and calming presence were exactly what we needed on a busy wedding day. We’ve had so many guests tell us how incredible our photos are, and we couldn’t agree more. If you want a photographer who will capture your day beautifully while making the process fun and easy, hire Cristina. We are beyond grateful for her and will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Thank you Cristina! You and Constantin are the best!

We could not be happier with our experience working with Cristina G Photography for our wedding! From our initial conversation about what working with her and Constantine would be like, to the day itself, to even the weeks following the wedding, Cristina’s professionalism, commitment, excitement, and passion goes beyond anything that we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. Cristina made it so easy to narrow down what we were hoping for with our photos for the day and was confident that even on a day that would be spent mostly indoors, she could deliver photos with the lighting we needed, and she really did. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured all of our most important moments beautifully. Her and Constantine worked together seamlessly and their attention to detail, lighting, and composition in every shot was truly appreciated In addition, the day flowed in such a purposeful way and the organization of it all was certainly felt by everyone. From the morning of, she was punctual and got right to work! During the most special moments of the day, she got the most beautiful shots, all while blending in effortlessly without guests. We even had the chance to go out on Michigan Avenue for our champagne shot - which she executed with ease! She made it so fun and it’s truly a moment we’ll treasure forever. At the end of it all, Cristina makes sure that you get exactly what you are hoping for with your photos and your album. Having her piece together a draft of the album and then being able to share our input made the process so easy. She clearly communicates timelines which helps keep everything on track and we were so pleased with how quickly we received everything. Our album is a gorgeous collection of memories that we will absolutely cherish forever. If you’re looking for a talented, experienced, and reliable photographer who truly cares about their work and making sure your day is everything you want it to be, you need to book Cristina! Highly, highly recommend!

I don’t know where to begin to describe how amazing Cristina is! Cristina & her team are not only talented and professional, they’re magicians! From capturing epic shots, to wrangling guests, to conceptualizing event designs, Cristina does it all. My husband & I hired Cristina as our first vendor after seeing how amazing her work was at a friend’s wedding. We didn’t have anything planned aside from knowing we wanted an international destination wedding & we were lost to be quite honest but, Cristina came to the rescue. She helped consult on nearly everything. We had struggles with international vendors & she was there to assist in making sure our vision came to life. Cristina helped us pick the right deisgn, decor, venues, outfits & even WEATHER! It was tough for us to find a date for our engagement shoot as I travel quite frequently for work & was limited. When we finally picked a date, we didn’t have an option of rescheduling & it began storming. Cristina put our minds at ease & told us to trust her, boy are we glad we did. After the storm passed, we had a small window to shoot in natural light. Cristina worked her magic in getting fantastic shots while the sky was on fire with the most amazing colors as a backdrop! Then when we finally settled on the destination of Montemurlo (a small Italian town) for our wedding, Cristina’s magic shined more. She suggested another shoot at the iconic Ponte Vecchio at sunset. Naturally, we were worried about massive summer tourist crowds but Cristina wasn’t. Her team was able to wrangle the crowds & get epic shots that look like they belong in a magazine. Now come wedding day - I was a little terrified coming into the wedding with all Italian vendors aside from Cristina. And to be honest, not everything turned out as planned (it never does) but, Cristina worked her magic & no one was the wiser. My dress wasn’t altered properly & at certain angles, was inches off my chest and torso. It was humid & nearly 100 degrees without air conditioning, everyone covered in sweat. There were many things that weren’t ideal but, with Cristina’s expertise, our photos look like they’ve come out of a modern fairytale. Not to mention, all our guests loved Cristina’s team! It was like they were family in attendance that just happened to be fantastic photographers. And It doesn’t end there…Since we got married overseas, she wanted to do our flatlays prior to leaving the country. So she went above & beyond by searching for an olive tree in order to have real olive branches & leaves in our flatlays to match our wedding day asthetic (she would not do artificial & I’m so glad!). To our surprise, she preserved the tree she bought & it vegetatively propagated a baby olive tree that she gifted us. Massimo (the olive tree) is now a daily reminder of our favorite wedding memories & Cristina. All I’ve written doesn’t even capture how amazing Cristina is. She went above & beyond to help guide us in so many aspects beyond just photography. You can tell how much she cares about her craft & her couples! You would be beyond lucky to have her as a vendor to help guide you, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding!

Cristina really made our wedding day so special. She isn't just a photographer she's a wedding planner/maid of honor/photographer all in one. Leading up to the special day, she really got to know us as a couple. Communication was easy, and she was always available. Looking back, I can't imagine how we would've managed without their experience. From providing the optimal timeline for taking pictures to making sure we were able to include everything we wanted for our wedding day. We were lucky to have both Cristina and her husband, Constantin, on our wedding day. They ARE. THE. DREAM. TEAM. It’s clear that they are very talented photographers, and their seamless collaboration really showed in every shot. They really have an eye for composition, and the balance between more formal shots with a dozen people in frame and dramatic shots with my veil blowing in the wind. We are obsessed with our photos. I wish I could print every single picture!!! We just received our album, and we are IN LOVE. The album quality is beyond reproach, the cover and materials are luxurious. Even the layout/spreads of the photos have clear intent and care behind them.

Cristina did an amazing job capturing our special day at City Hall. She is incredibly talented and has a unique eye for detail that really made our photos stand out. Not only did she take very unique pictures with extra details to make everything look great, but she also went the extra mile to coordinate with other vendors for the wedding ceremony. Her collaboration with the other vendors ensured that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. We are so grateful for her skill, dedication, and teamwork. Thank you, Cristina, for giving us such stunning memories to cherish forever.

Without a doubt one of the best decisions of our wedding was hiring Cristina and her husband. They were amazing to work, communicating so well on small tweaks in our posing and works so efficiently .And when it started raining, they ran back to our trolley because they had packed the cutest black and white umbrellas "just in case" and those ended up being some of our favorite photos. They captured EVERY important moment of our wedding and in the most beautiful way possible. And did I mention how QUICK we got our photos back and looking through them it was hard to pick our favorites because they were all so good! I would pick her and her husband as our photographer over and over and over again, if you are lucky enough to work with them do it, you will NOT regret it!

Our experience with Cristina was truly everything we'd hoped for and more. She put us at ease, gave helpful directions, and was really thoughtful about photo locations - all leading to stunning pictures that I can hardly believe are mine. I had really hoped for a lot of outdoor pictures, but our wedding day ended up being much colder than anticipated - I appreciated how Cristina politely but firmly insisted on getting through our shot list, despite our complaints about the cold. She listened to what I wanted during our calls prior to the wedding and made sure that I got it, in a way that made us all feel so great throughout the experience. She has been so communicative both before and after the wedding - I knew when to expect our preview and final photos. Both were so thoughtfully constructed. My husband and I will absolutely be working with Cristina again for all the major events in our lives!

Working with Cristina as our wedding photographer was an absolute delight! She's not only incredibly talented behind the lens but also easy to work and communicate with. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Cristina was a dream to work with, making us feel comfortable and also capturing the essence of us. She went above and beyond to deal with a last minute snafu with one of our public park locations, providing clear and easy other plans. She and her photographer Becca were so friendly and professional on the day of, ensuring everything ran smoothly and beautifully. If you want breathtaking photos and a stress-free experience, Cristina is your go-to photographer!
