People are saying...

"I loved Christina's enthusiasm. She is extremely thorough and organized, which I love. She thought of just about everything we could need to know!"

"I enjoyed Christina's energy and how she involved the class in demonstrations. Also, she gave us information we could take out of class and start using right away. She was all around a great instructor."

"We learned a solid amount, not only about weddings, but about the business structured around them I enjoyed learning the ideals behind working for your client, and about bringing in outside influences (ie fashion or photojournalism) into a wedding shoot. Christina was a positive influence in the classroom and she knew her stuff. She gave us plenty of opportunity to learn hands-on, and I think she was one of the best instructors I've had."

"Christina's grasp of the subject and way of teaching made a subject I was weary to learn about into something I would now consider doing. Her creative style really shows that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring traditional photos, and I really learned a lot from her class. I appreciated that Christina has all the materials online (to refer later) so I can go back and look things up again. She was a great teacher."
