Cristina absolutely crushed it as our wedding photographer! From the welcome party to the last dance, she captured every amazing moment of our entire wedding weekend with so much care 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 to us within 1.5 weeks so we were able to re-live the night while we were on 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!!

I don’t know where to begin to describe how amazing Cristina is! Cristina & her team are not only talented and professional, they’re magicians! From capturing epic shots, to wrangling 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!

Cristina really made our wedding day so special. She isn't just a photographer she's a wedding planner/maid of honor/photographer all in one. Leading up to the special day, she really got to know us as a couple. Communication was easy, and she was always available. Looking back, I can't imagine how we would've managed without their experience. From providing the optimal timeline for taking pictures to making sure we were able to include everything we wanted for our wedding day. We were lucky to have both Cristina and her husband, Constantin, on our wedding day. They ARE. THE. DREAM. TEAM. It’s clear that they are very talented photographers, and their seamless collaboration really showed in every shot. They really have an eye for composition, and the balance between more formal shots with a dozen people in frame and dramatic shots with my veil blowing in the wind. We are obsessed with our photos. I wish I could print every single picture!!! We just received our album, and we are IN LOVE. The album quality is beyond reproach, the cover and materials are luxurious. Even the layout/spreads of the photos have clear intent and care behind them.

From the initial consultation to final delivery of our photos, our experience working with Cristina was exceptional. My fiancé and I are not fans of taking pictures, but Cristina made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session. Despite being in a public setting, we felt at ease and the photos are AMAZING! She captured the overall vibe and aesthetics effortlessly. I highly recommend working with Cristina! I cannot wait to work with her again.

Where do I even begin...if you are lucky enough to secure Cristina G as your photographer-do not even hesitate! Photography was the area I wanted to be extremely thoughtful of when choosing- that and the venue were most important to me. I was instantly drawn to Cristina’s style, and wanted to work with her.  It was a big decision to make, and it is one I would do a hundred times over.  Cristina and Constantin will do so much more than take the most amazing pictures.  They are experts in the field and have so much experience working all around Chicago and with different venues.  They know where to go to get the best pictures- how to truly capture the magic! From start to finish we worked with each other for about a year, and are still working together on the most perfect wedding album. Since the beginning of working together, Cristina has been so great and most professional. On top of taking the most beautiful pictures for us (from our engagement shoot to the wedding), Cristina and Constantin have been such a pleasure working with. If I could, I would have hired them for my engagement party, shower, rehearsal, etc.  I cannot give Cristina and Constantin a higher level of recommendation. We look forward to working with them in the future!
