Sharing your love story...
As a wedding photographer, I understand the importance of capturing every moment, every detail, and every emotion. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can handle anything your day throws at them (including your drunk uncle), then look no further.
My approach to wedding photography is a blend of photojournalism and portrait photography. I believe in capturing candid moments as they happen, but also taking the time to create beautiful portraits that you'll treasure for years to come.
he list of venders you have to find and go through to make your wedding perfect is ... well, let's just say i'm glad I got married 20yrs ago!
Not only do you need to love the type of photography, but the photographer needs to be a good fit! When you look back on your day, you'll think about all your friends & family who were there, but there will also be your wedding photographer. They spend most of the day with you & ultimately my goal is... to continue to photograph you throughout; as you grow a family. I'm in in for the long haul!

The Process...
Please don't skip over my about me... it helps you get a feel for who I am. (You know..amazing.. eye roll ...lolll)
Your timeline - I will go over your wedding timeline. I show you what a first look timeline looks like and what a regular timeline looks like.

We sign contracts, you pay the deposit and we book your engagement session...
I don't really have "working" hours, so you can always get ahold of me any possible way you want, even my personal facebook.
After you look everything over and feel like we would be a good fit, you email me, txt or call or get ahold of me via facebook! I take a select few weddings a year - so crossing fingers I have your date! I also only shoot one wedding per weekend.
The wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, excitement, and anticipation. The first look is when the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony. It's a special moment that happens just for the two of you; by yourself with no friends/family.
One of the biggest benefits of a first look is the opportunity to spend time with your partner before the ceremony. With all the hustle and bustle of the wedding day, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and miss out on quality time with your significant other. The first look allows you to take a deep breath, connect with each other, and share a special moment together.
The first look allows for more time for photography. You will be able to fit more into your wedding timeline with less downtime.
Many couples find that the first look helps to calm their nerves and ease their anxiety. Seeing each other before the ceremony can help to ease any jitters.
No matter what you decide, your wedding day will be filled with love, happiness and memories that you'll cherish for the rest of your life.

ABOUT ME
My name is Christina Wall.. I've been in business since 2010 and have been shooting weddings on and off since. In 2020, I decided to start offering weddings again. I married my husband when I was 19 and we are celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in December. I have 3 daughters, 2 girl goldens, 2 girl mini pigs, and we have a male cat. My husband is VERY outnumbered.
want to tell you that I'm this super cute trendy photographer you have pictured in your head. That I wear the cutest clothes and am just the sweetest person ever and that I will gush all over you.
That isn't me!! I'm going to tell you something is in your teeth, reach up your wedding dress and tie your corset knot, push your back fat in and make sure your back looks stunning. I'm real.. I treat you like family and nothing fake comes out of my mouth. I don't feel the need to tell you, you are beautiful on your wedding day, because girl if you don't think you are of all days.. we need to have a different conversation! I am laid back.. very sarcastic and I love to laugh. Like I will laugh at myself, whether it's because I did something stupid and realized it or because well I'm funny. I say fuck.. probably a lot! I try not to at weddings but sometimes it does come out. I'm not overly lovey. I am a perfect mix of type A & B personalities. I do not like to dance, and to be honest don't like dancing pictures (not talking about the main dances). Like what are you really going to do with them? I'm very direct and fast paced specially when working with families and wedding parties. I create a timeline for your wedding and try very hard to stick to it and make sure I'm doing anything I can to make your day run smooth. I prefer natural light photos vs off camera flash and I think portraits, family photos and the mother/father dances are the most important pictures of your day. Here is my why... The portraits you will hang, the family photos you will want when someone passes and you will always cherish dancing with your mom or dad at your wedding.
If you got through that and realized I'm not for you.. that's okay! :) Congrats on your upcoming wedding and I hope you find a photographer that fits.... But if you were like.. I get her... let's do this.. Shoot me a message or txt! (Calling is sometimes chaotic - so txting is always better) - Here is my cell 315-272-3337

FAQ'S
Do you travel?
Yes! There might be a travel fee associated. But, I would love to do a destination wedding!
What form of payment do you accept?
You can pay cash, check, venmo, paypal and credit cards
How much is a retainer?
The retainer is $500 when you sign your wedding contract. This covers your engagement session - If for whatever reason, you do not think we are a good fit after your engagement session - you can cancel your contract within 2wks of receiving your images. Any money above the $500 will be returned to you.
What is your style?
I am a mix of hands off and document your day to posing you for portraits.. and little whispers of .. don't forget to smile
How long does it take until I receive my images?
Because I take on a limited amount of weddings per year, I try to return images within 2-3wks. Some months, like the summer (my fav season), it could be a little longer as I shoot seniors and I put a time limit on the amount of time I spend inside editing.
Do you offer video?
No
How many photos will I receive?
The norm is 50 photos an hour. It all depends on your timeline and how it flows. On 6 hours I have done only 300 photos (1 photographer), and I have also done 1000 photos (2 photogs). It really depends on your day, what's going on, etc. I edit and deliver every good photo.
Does it matter how big or small my wedding is?
No, the size of your wedding does not matter. It doesn't change the pricing. Pricing is based on how many hours, not how many guest attend.
