Capturing beautiful and fleeting moments

Like a Flower in Bloom

charlotte, charleston, RALEIGH + destination wedding photographer

If you're looking for someone who is the calm in the chaos, the hype on the dance floor, and feels like a part of the family... you're in the right spot.

I believe the most meaningful photos are the ones that feel natural, joyful, and (most importantly) true to you. My utmost goal is to capture genuine emotion and turn it into classic, timeless, true-to-color imagery, all while having fun and feeling comfortable.

I want you to look back on your images and not only love how they look, but remember how you felt in those moments.

Let’s capture it in a way that does just that!

Hi there,
I'm Christan!

My approach is rooted in the belief that your wedding day is a tapestry of moments, each as important and deserving of documentation as the next.

Whether it's the fun getting ready moments, excited jitters leading up to your first look, intimate glances exchanged during the vows, or the exhilarating dance floor, I'm there to capture it all. I’m always in a constant state of observation, which allows me to anticipate and document these fleeting moments, while simultaneously being able to flow with any changing dynamics of the day.

I pride myself on my ability to seamlessly transition between creating a calm environment, taking charge of a situation, or fostering a fun atmosphere, depending on what is needed at the time. This ability to adjust quickly can not only put you at ease, but also encourages a seamless day, allowing you and your guests to be fully present in each moment.

Weddings

We got an 8 hour package with two photographers, and it was a wonderful value. Christan was super communicative leading up to our wedding in helping us to iron out our priorities for photos. During the wedding day, she did a great job of pivoting to adjust our  schedule in a way that got us allll of the photos, but also allowed us to enjoy the day and not be posed in front of the lens the entire time.  Christan then delivered us an EXCEPTIONAL gallery within 4 weeks, and the photos were a perfect capsule of the some of the most beautiful moments of our lives.


"Christan was Phenomenal"

Christan was super accommodating and flexible when it came to booking due to our busy schedule. During our session she made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. A few short weeks later we 
received the gallery of our dreams! I mean hundreds of photos all edited to perfection. Have recommended her and will keep doing so! 


"Received the gallery of our dreams"

I loved everything about Christan... She made sure we were comfortable and she guided us throughout the shoot. Even though my fiance and I were nervous and clueless, Christan's attitude and personality made us feel right at home!


"she made sure we felt comfortable"

We absolutely loved working with Christan and are so lucky to have found her to capture our engagement photos and wedding. She is so sweet and bubbly and did a great job at orchestrating our shoot! I would highly recommend her for any of your photo needs.
