Hi, I'm Christina, your California Elopement Photographer. I help build incredible elopement day experiences and document all the fun along the way. Big Sur, Yosemite, Mammoth and the California Redwoods are some of my favorite places! I love to travel and will meet you anywhere for your love story.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

Your elopement can be anything you dream it to be — just the two of you on a cliff at sunrise, surrounded by your closest people, or somewhere in between. Whether it’s laid-back, wildly adventurous, or beautifully simple, I’m here to help you bring it to life in a way that feels true to you.

I’m here for more than just photos — I help you plan a day that feels easy, intentional, and totally yours. I’ll guide you through the logistics, offer location ideas, and inspire you to weave in the kinds of personal moments that make your day unforgettable — like reading letters privately, sharing your favorite snacks mid-hike, or creating a ceremony that’s completely your own. I’ll gently guide you when you need it, blend into the background when the moment calls for it, and be your steady support through it all.

Inclusion matters deeply to me. All love is welcome here — LGBTQIA+ affirming, body-positive, gender-neutral contracts, and a planning experience where you’re fully seen and celebrated from the start. You don’t have to explain who you are — I’ll meet you there with open arms.

At the end of the day, I want you to feel like you got to live your wedding day — for YOU!. And when you look back at your photos, I want you to say, “Yep… that was so us.”

We've absolutely LOVED working with Christina, from planning our elopement, elopement timeline, her sweet bubbly personality in-person doing pictures, and designing the wedding album- all of it has been amazing and we've been so amazed with all her pictures & products. We will miss working with her because she made everything so fun and easy.

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.
