Hamptons & Long Island New York - Wedding Photography
Congratulations on your upcoming Hamptons wedding!
As you browse our site you will notice that there are no typical pose-and-shoot wedding portraits. That's because we believe a natural smile photographs better than a forced one and the greatest compliment we could receive is hearing that we captured the real story of your wedding. Our approach allows you to be yourself and you can trust us to give you wedding photographs that are unlike anyone else's.
What makes you different from other wedding photographers in Hamptons ?
Your decision should come down to the photographer whose work appeals to you most. A trained and experienced photographer will have the right camera skills to work in any setting, location, temperature or lighting situation. We believe our approach may be a little bit different from other photographers in the following ways:
-
Christina is a wedding photojournalist who has won international awards from Kodak, the Wedding Photojournalism Association, DP Challenge, WedComp and the AGWPJA.
- We also provide you with an online gallery that's linked to a professional photo lab. That means your friends and family can order prints directly without needing to go through you.
- The images we provide you will be retouched to perfection by our team of Photoshop & album design experts.
- We also have a wedding gift registry where your guests can contribute towards your photography!
- Christina has a master's degree in journalism, plus a diploma in photography. She also teaches budding professional photographers at the Western Academy of Photography & Camosun College.
- Christina is also an award-winning nature and wildlife photographer who visits the rockies yearly. She knows the natural areas around Hamptons intimately and can help you pick some really beautiful spots for nature-inspired wedding photos.

We really want to know how to make sure you can relax and enjoy your wedding. Our team of photographers strives to create images that tell the unique story of your day.

What is your style - are you photojournalism, fashion, fine art?
Actually, we offer a blend of all of the above, or you can pick just one and we will customize our style for your taste. Christina and Eunice are inspired by fashion photography, photojournalism and fine art.
What exactly does wedding photojournalism mean? Does this mean you never take posed or directed photos? What if we want some traditional portraits of our families and friends?
If you choose our wedding photojournalism approach we can be as hands off or as hands on as you like. Most people prefer to have their wedding day covered without intrustion, but still want to spend some time doing straight-forward posed family portraits and relaxed-yet-creative couple and wedding party portraits.
Do you ever take posed pictures before the wedding so we can spend more time with our guests after the ceremony?
Absolutely. Many people opt to do this and it does mean you can spend your entire wedding celelebration doing just that -- celebrating!
I look terrible in pictures. I'm worried about how I'll look in pictures on my wedding day.
We hear this all the time and that's why we take the pressure off "put your hands this way and your feet that way" and instead work on getting you to relax in front of the camera. Even during directed moments we will provide you with some straight-forward instructions that ensure you are acting naturally. Many of the people in our wedding gallery told us they were uneasy about having their picture taken and yet they all look like rock stars! I'll bet you won't be able to tell the people who were camera shy.
How can we meet with you to arrange a one-on-one consulation about my wedding in the Hamptons & Long Island New York?
You are welcome to contact us with times that work for you and we will arrange a one-on-one phone consultation with you to discuss your wedding further and tell you more about how we work. To help us serve you better, please provide us with the location and date of your wedding.
