Newport Beach & San Diego Temples

Wedding Photography

I’m so glad you’re here.

My goal is to create a calm, easy experience so you can feel comfortable and fully present on your wedding day.

I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, step in with direction when we have time together, and step back when the moments naturally unfold. Everything is kept simple and flowing so it never feels overwhelming or rushed.

From bridals to the temple, receptions, and intimate celebrations, each part of your wedding is approached with care, flexibility, and attention to what matters most in that moment.

Photography Services

Every wedding is a little different, so coverage is built around your day.

You can choose the pieces that fit your plans, and I’ll help you keep it simple.

Temple

• 1–2 hours
• Exit coverage, group formals, and couple portraits

Temple weddings are some of the most meaningful days to photograph.

I focus on everything that happens right after your sealing—the hugs, the excitement, your people all around you, and your first portraits as a married couple.

I’ll guide you through anything posed so it feels easy and natural, then step back and let real moments unfold.

You’ll end up with a thoughtful mix of organized portraits and genuine, in-between moments you’ll love even more over time.

Coverage begins right outside the temple doors and includes:

• Your exit and those first “we did it” moments
• Reactions and time with family and friends
• Family and group formals (kept simple and efficient)
• Couple portraits around the temple grounds

I keep things organized without it ever feeling stiff—so you can stay present and enjoy it.

Bridals

• 1 hour
• Portrait session at one of my favorite beaches
• Includes a selection of images with quick turnaround for your reception

A relaxed session in your wedding attire, separate from your wedding day—and such a fun part of the whole experience.

• Optional first look
• A variety of images for announcements or display

Beach bridals are kind of the dream—the light, the movement, the space, and sunset is just unreal. It photographs so beautifully, and your dress holds up surprisingly well in the sand (everything brushes off easily).

We’ll have more time than the wedding day to move, play, and create a full mix of images—snuggly, joyful, and a little bit of everything in between. If you’d like, we can plan your first look here too, which gives you a more private, meaningful moment together.

And if we schedule a few days ahead, you’ll often have images ready to print and display at your reception 💛

Reception

• 2 hours
• Coverage of your celebration

Coverage for your reception evening—celebrating with your favorite people and all the joy that comes with it.

• Candid moments and guest interactions
• Key events like entrances, toasts, and first dances
• All the thoughtful details and overall setup

I’ll document everything as it naturally unfolds—from the big moments to the in-between ones you didn’t even realize were happening. The energy, the people, the hugs, the laughter—it’s all part of the story.

I also make sure to capture the space you’ve created—florals, cake, tables, and all the little details that came together for the day.

It’s relaxed, it’s fun, and it’s such a meaningful way to wrap everything up 💛

Intimate Ceremony

• 1.5–2.5 hours
• Ceremony, portraits, and relaxed reception coverage

A beautiful fit for smaller, more personal wedding days—often backyard or outdoor gatherings with a ring ceremony and simple reception.

These days tend to be relaxed and centered on your closest people, with space to really be present and take it all in.

Some also carry deeper meaning—blended families, new chapters, honoring what’s come before—and I approach all of it with care and intention.

I’ll gently guide the key moments when needed, then step back and document everything naturally—the connection, the emotion, and all the in-between moments that make it yours.

It’s simple, meaningful, and full of so much heart 💛

"Christy is honestly so self-motivated and low maintenance—which as a busy, stressed bride is a game changer!

I totally forgot to send inspo photos or a shot list, but she took initiative and did her own research—looking through my past posts and picking up on my style and preferences, then putting it all into action.

I was so surprised by how beautiful everything turned out considering I gave her hardly anything to work with. She is experienced, and it shows!" - Lexi
