Cristina G Photography

not typically comfortable in front of a camera, but Cristina has a way of making it feel effortless — she’s funny, engaging, and brings a great energy that immediately puts you at ease. We loved that this is truly a family team. Cristina and her husband, Constantine, both photographed our wedding, and their son Luca helped with video. They work seamlessly together, and it felt like having a group of people who genuinely cared about capturing every moment, not just another vendor. They didn’t just show up for the wedding day either — they also photographed our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, so by the time the wedding came around, everything felt very natural and comfortable. We (and our families and wedding party) really appreciated all the guidance Cristina gives on on how to stand, where to put your hands, how to tilt your head etc. Love that she gave those directions. What stood out most was how they balanced professionalism with a light, fun approach. Nothing ever felt staged, and the photos truly captured the personality and energy of the entire weekend. We’re so glad we chose Cristina and couldn’t recommend her and her family more.

are and talent. Every photo brings us right back to the joy, laughter, and love we felt, and we can’t stop looking through them. She even had our sneak peek of 300+ photos ready for us within 1.5 weeks so we were able to re-live the night during our honeymoon. Cristina has an incredible eye for detail and somehow managed to be everywhere without us even noticing, capturing candid, emotional moments that we will treasure forever. She made us and our families feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and her energy and calming presence were exactly what we needed on a busy wedding day. We’ve had so many guests tell us how incredible our photos are, and we couldn’t agree more. If you want a photographer who will capture your day beautifully while making the process fun and easy, hire Cristina. We are beyond grateful for her and will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Thank you Cristina! You and Constantin are the best!!

like, to the day itself, to even the weeks following the wedding, Cristina’s professionalism, commitment, excitement, and passion goes beyond anything that we could have asked for in a wedding photographer. Cristina made it so easy to narrow down what we were hoping for with our photos for the day and was confident that even on a day that would be spent mostly indoors, she could deliver photos with the lighting we needed, and she really did. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and captured all of our most important moments beautifully. Her and Constantine worked together seamlessly and their attention to detail, lighting, and composition in every shot was truly appreciated In addition, the day flowed in such a purposeful way and the organization of it all was certainly felt by everyone. From the morning of, she was punctual and got right to work! During the most special moments of the day, she got the most beautiful shots, all while blending in effortlessly without guests. We even had the chance to go out on Michigan Avenue for our champagne shot - which she executed with ease! She made it so fun and it’s truly a moment we’ll treasure forever. At the end of it all, Cristina makes sure that you get exactly what you are hoping for with your photos and your album. Having her piece together a draft of the album and then being able to share our input made the process so easy. She clearly communicates timelines which helps keep everything on track and we were so pleased with how quickly we received everything. Our album is a gorgeous collection of memories that we will absolutely cherish forever. If you’re looking for a talented, experienced, and reliable photographer who truly cares about their work and making sure your day is everything you want it to be, you need to book Cristina! Highly, highly recommend!

ing guests, to conceptualizing event designs, Cristina does it all. My husband & I hired Cristina as our first vendor after seeing how amazing her work was at a friend’s wedding. We didn’t have anything planned aside from knowing we wanted an international destination wedding & we were lost to be quite honest but, Cristina came to the rescue. She helped consult on nearly everything. We had struggles with international vendors & she was there to assist in making sure our vision came to life. Cristina helped us pick the right deisgn, decor, venues, outfits & even WEATHER! It was tough for us to find a date for our engagement shoot as I travel quite frequently for work & was limited. When we finally picked a date, we didn’t have an option of rescheduling & it began storming. Cristina put our minds at ease & told us to trust her, boy are we glad we did. After the storm passed, we had a small window to shoot in natural light. Cristina worked her magic in getting fantastic shots while the sky was on fire with the most amazing colors as a backdrop! Then when we finally settled on the destination of Montemurlo (a small Italian town) for our wedding, Cristina’s magic shined more. She suggested another shoot at the iconic Ponte Vecchio at sunset. Naturally, we were worried about massive summer tourist crowds but Cristina wasn’t. Her team was able to wrangle the crowds & get epic shots that look like they belong in a magazine. Now come wedding day - I was a little terrified coming into the wedding with all Italian vendors aside from Cristina. And to be honest, not everything turned out as planned (it never does) but, Cristina worked her magic & no one was the wiser. My dress wasn’t altered properly & at certain angles, was inches off my chest and torso. It was humid & nearly 100 degrees without air conditioning, everyone covered in sweat. There were many things that weren’t ideal but, with Cristina’s expertise, our photos look like they’ve come out of a modern fairytale. Not to mention, all our guests loved Cristina’s team! It was like they were family in attendance that just happened to be fantastic photographers. And It doesn’t end there…Since we got married overseas, she wanted to do our flatlays prior to leaving the country. So she went above & beyond by searching for an olive tree in order to have real olive branches & leaves in our flatlays to match our wedding day asthetic (she would not do artificial & I’m so glad!). To our surprise, she preserved the tree she bought & it vegetatively propagated a baby olive tree that she gifted us. Massimo (the olive tree) is now a daily reminder of our favorite wedding memories & Cristina. All I’ve written doesn’t even capture how amazing Cristina is. She went above & beyond to help guide us in so many aspects beyond just photography. You can tell how much she cares about her craft & her couples! You would be beyond lucky to have her as a vendor to help guide you, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding!
