Like a Flower in Bloom

charlotte, RALEIGH, Charleston + destination wedding photographer

From the quiet, emotional moments, until the last dance, and all the joyful happenings in between, my approach is rooted in capturing your day as it truly unfolds. 

With a warm, attentive presence and an eye for meaningful detail, I document your wedding with integrity, adaptability, and heart, creating imagery that feels timeless, honest, and deeply personal.
Photographs that don’t just show you how your day looked, but take you back to exactly how it felt.

For couples who value sentiment, intention, and an experience that feels as elevated as it is effortless, In Bloom Photography offers more than wedding photos — I offer presence, compassion, and refined storytelling.

Hi there,
I'm Christan!

meet 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

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"

We loved all of our photos but more importantly loved her! We have so many pictures to choose from, I could barely decided what to use on our Christmas card. She will make you want to go back and view your album over and over again. You will not be disappointed!

"everything you would want from your photographer and beyond"

Having Christan photograph my daughter’s wedding was the single BEST decision we made!! The talent, energy, vision and creativity were indescribable, and only second to how much FUN she brought to the day. I feel like we spent the day with a best friend documenting the biggest day of their lives. 5 stars are not enough. I would give her 50 stars if I could. THE BEST!!!

"single BEST decision we made!!"

We couldn’t be happier with Christan and our experience with her from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process which made planning so much easier. On the day of the wedding, everything ran incredibly smoothly. Christan was professional, calm, and organized, handling the timeline effortlessly while making everyone feel comfortable. The attention to detail truly stood out when we got our picture back. They beautifully reflect the emotions, energy, and little moments of the day that meant so much to us. We are so grateful and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an amazing photographer.

"Communication was excellent throughout "

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"

and just the best person.
Christan was the first wedding vendor I booked. I always planned to invest in my wedding photographer, because those are the memories you will have forever. And wow, I chose the right person. From the first phone call, Christan felt like a close family friend. When our wedding day came, Christan showed up ready to capture memories, celebrate us, and party! From our getting ready photos to our final private dance, Christan captured it all perfectly. “You can really tell she’s passionate about what she does” is only one of the compliments she received from my guests. Her bright and true to color editing style complimented my venue and color choices perfectly. I am so blessed to call Christan a close friend to this day.

Professional, passionate,
intentional,

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.

"so lucky to have found christan"

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"

A million stars out of ten! Christa was seriously our shining light all throughout our wedding year. From the first call to the wedding day I felt like all my ideas were heard, needs were met, and I was gaining a friend! She went above and beyond on the actual wedding day and was such a comforting presence. We STILL have guests comment on how fun she was to be around. 

"You’re getting so much more than just beautiful pictures when you work with her!"
