Choosing a wedding photographer is a big deal! This person will be by your side on one of the most emotional, hilarious, and unforgettable days of your life. You’ll want someone who gets you, keeps things relaxed, and captures the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. I get it, and I’m here to help. Ask me anything… seriously! No question is too small or too weird.

Small weddings and elopements begin at $2,950, while full-day coverage for larger celebrations with 8+ hours of coverage begins at $7,950. Get in touch, and I’ll send you my collection guide with all the details, and we can chat about what would work best for your day.

I know my pricing can sometimes carry a bit of a sticker shock. There’s no industry standard for pricing creative work, but my rates reflect the level of artistry, storytelling, and service that my couples consistently say is worth every penny.

My pricing also reflects supply, demand and 15+ years of experience photographing a diverse range of weddings around the globe. I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple my full attention from start to finish.

I take great pride in using photographic techniques to make sure you look amazing without a lot of extra retouching. My editing style is classic and clean and I’d love for you to have a look through the weddings I’ve posted on my blog to get a sense of how your images will look. If the grass is green, it will be green in your photos. I clean up things like blemishes, but I use a light touch – you’ll never look like a plastic doll. And that means my style may not be for you if you want to look 20 years younger. 

I know you’ll be excited to see your images and that’s why I curate highlights from your day (about 30-50 images) as a sneak peek slideshow within one week of the wedding. You’ll then receive the rest of your images within six weeks of your celebration. 

I offer wedding photography throughout the Greater Victoria Regional District (Sooke, Sidney, Saanich, North Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Victoria, Cobble Hill and Mill Bay). I’m also happy to travel to the lower Mainland (Vancouver, Surrey, North Van, West Van, etc.) or up island (Parksville or Courtnay/Comox )… or elsewhere for an additional travel fee.

I am absolutely obsessed with all of our photos from our engagement shoot and wedding! Funkytown is a MUST HAVE for your special event! Christina and Derek were so easy to work with and the kindest people you’ll ever meet. Christina flew to San Francisco to shoot our engagement photos and spent the whole day with us. I think there were 7 different locations and probably just as many outfit changes! She was so good at giving some instruction, but not too much to get the magic and natural body positionings that you want to look back on. Our wedding photos were absolutely breathtaking. I cannot express enough love for Christina and Derek! I just wish they lived closer so they can shoot all of our life events!

We had Christina and Derek as our wedding photographers. We were blown away by all of the moments they captured. We barely even notice they were there and yet they didn't miss a thing. Are portraits we're stunning it was hard to choose what to put in our album. Christina and Derek we can't thank you enough, from the bottom of our hearts. You have a true gift.

Christina photographed our crazy hippie wedding here on Cortes Island, and it was featured in all kinds of online magazines afterwards! As well as some of the images winning awards! Christina is not only a wedding photographer, but she also teaches wedding photography! She is well-known and well-respected in the industry... She is incredibly talented, thoughtful, creative, and experienced.... exactly what we wanted in a wedding photographer. Thanks again Christina!

Christina captured our moments so beautifully and the slide show made us cry and smile at the same time! Since we were having a small wedding and kept everything so simple, we only booked for 3hrs of her time. She was super quick and amazing at capturing details in such a short time! To be honest I was a little nervous about the photos before I received them because some of us, including myself, aren't photogenic and always put on awkward smiles when we stare at cameras but as soon as she sent us the sneak peek photos after just one week of our wedding my worry was instantly gone. We were oohing-and-aawing (lol) at the photos and some of my family and friends photos turned out like magazine-grade photos! I think she is more than a pro (she was so personable and understanding + flexible) and we all highly recommend her. I really feel proud to have an eye to see her fantastic photography skills through her portfolios in her website and reached out to her for my wedding.

Christina and Derek were a dream to work with on our wedding day. Beyond their ridiculous talent and skill in capturing candid moments, they are kind, FUN, and have a gentle way to calm and lead you through the day. Christina has a way of picking up the slightest cues and adjusting quickly to make everyone feel comfortable. We hit the jackpot with these two. (and our guests were all blown away too)!

Asking Christina to photograph our elopement was the best idea we ever had! Not only is she phenomenal behind the camera in what she produces but she is phenomenal as a human - her presence felt like we'd known her for years. Christina quickly made us feel at ease in front of the camera - we had sooooo much fun, laughing, being silly, sensual, playful, and truly in the moment as we had our portraits taken. She has a keen eye and made suggestions of beautiful places to capture photos. The results - holy smokes - we cried. Christina truly captured the essence of us and our ceremony. We are so incredibly grateful for her talent and her tender and playful demeanour. Thank you!!
