We hired Christine for our wedding, and were absolutely thrilled. She's easy to work with, prompt, friendly, has excellent crowd-management skills (vital for group photos and corralling relatives), manages to disappear and make you forget she's there (when she wants to), and she takes fantastic photos.

We originally found Christine by trawling website after website of wedding photographers, looking for someone who worked in a documentary/journalistic style. Someone who didn't come in with a preconceived notion of what the event would show, and who told a story by observing -- carefully, aesthetically, and joyously -- what really happened. We, like probably a lot of couples, wanted to feel like the wedding we'd planned was _special_ somehow, a celebration worth remembering and that wouldn't blur into a much of a muchness of weddings of friends and family. Weddings can be overwhelming when you're part of them, which makes having photographs that really capture the honest emotions of the day a way to build better memories.

The first time we found a photographer that really made us have feelings when we saw someone else's photos was in an article in the Guardian newspaper, Ian Weldon (Google the article "Drunks, dress disasters and dad dancing: real wedding photographs"). Galleries had done exhibitions of his work, and we could see why. He, unfortunately, lived in England.

The second time was when we happened across Christine's website. The couples she featured had _such_ personality that shone through, both in candid photographs, and in the more staged ones. She has a real knack for aesthetically-pleasing and aesthetically-interesting candid photographs; for letting an event speak for itself but still be shown to best advantage through the composition. We're no art critics, so we don't really have the vocabulary to talk about this in detail, but it felt special and interesting, while still using a 2020s colour palette.

Maybe the thing to emphasise is that we (both) were thrilled with Christine's work. We look back on her photos with joy often. Our family and friends tell us she did a great a job (maybe they would anyways); we tell each other that all the time too. Her photos are like bottled feelings.

On a more practical level, Christine went above and beyond for us. She showed up for the getting ready portion, was entirely unfazed by having a ceremony outdoors in the snow of an Ontario winter, and gamely followed us out on the cross-country ski trails after we did a costume change from formal attire into athleisure. She was understanding when COVID interrupted our initial plans, had entirely reasonable rates, got a highlight reel to tide our family and friends over very quickly and the photos to us promptly thereafter. She was a both professional and warm presence that put us at our ease. We had no cause to complain about Christine in any way, would happily hire her again for other events (in fact, we have, for some family photographs!), and thoroughly recommend her. The only possible caveat we have is that Christine is based in Revelstoke part of the year, which limits how often she's in Toronto.

We used Christine as our wedding photographer and we couldn't have been happier with her work. She was INCREDIBLE. Her positive, relaxed energy helped the day run so smoothly. All our guests had such positive things to say about her. And the photos we got back were nothing short of magical. Can't recommend highly enough!

Christine is an IMMENSELY TALENTED photographer and we felt (and still feel) so fortunate to have her shoot our wedding! Based on her portfolio, we had VERY high expectations for what Christine would capture at our wedding, and yet somehow she exceeded them. Christine has an amazing eye for detail and managed to capture the vibrancy and life of our day, as well as so many special moments among our friends and family. The resulting photos are not only beautiful, but totally unique and personal. Christine was reassuring, supportive, and a joy to work with throughout the whole process and we give her our HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION. We honestly cannot praise Christine enough and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future!

Christine is THE wedding photographer. She gets it. The photos from our wedding are so incredible. Not one single thing I would change. She made us and all our guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera. No cringy staged vibes. This is organic love content!!!

Christine photographed our wedding in Vancouver, BC and did such a beautiful job. She's a lovely person to work with and her documentary photographic style is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much Christine for the beautiful photos!
