Christine Skari Photography

t which is beyond words. I cried going through the photos because it took me straight back to the day. But best of all, she felt a part of the party—she didn’t disrupt the flow of the party, she was a part of every moment in such a seamless way you felt that it was only natural for her to be there. And trust me—having been to weddings where a photographer has disrupted special moments—this is HUGE. I’ll treasure these photos forever. I’d hire her to photograph every major event in my life if I could.

and I felt like she added to the stress to the wedding day which was the last thing I wanted.

spend your wedding day with. They love what they do and bring a positive, calm, and fun energy. I had multiple bridesmaids and family members approach me after the wedding noting that they loved our photographer. They loved the photos, but they also agreed that Christine brought amazing energy. It made such a difference on our day to have our wedding photo time be fun and enjoyable versus tedious. We were also impressed that she went above and beyond to understand the flow of the whole wedding and what needed to happen. One of our vendors was running late and it occurred to me during our Romantic photos after dinner and I mentioned it briefly hoping my planner would be nearby. Christine and her sister were on top of it and reassured me that the vendor was nearby and everything would get back on track. A true team player who was invested in the success of the whole day, and not just the photos! We can't recommend her enough.

t and full of love. She has an eye! She is so personable! She made us feel gorgeous and comfortable and to top it off, even our posed photos look NATURAL. Don't think twice- hire her! We opted out of videography and I don't regret it at all because Christine's photos tell the story of our wedding day perfectly. I laugh, cry and smile when I look at them. 10/10 perfection <3

hing can be a stressful blur when planning a wedding, but Christine made the process fun, exciting, memorable, and light. From the first call, I was comfortable, felt listened to, and trusted Christine fully to capture our wedding day. My husband and I hate taking photos (I know everyone says that), but after our engagement photo session, we both left laughing, more in love, and with a new memory — AND then we received beautiful photos. It’s so rare that a photographer can make you feel connected with your partner in front of a camera AND you receive photos you will cherish for a lifetime. Christine is thorough, detail-oriented, an active listener, cares passionately about you beyond just “as clients,” and also has the perfect eye to capture everything from beginning to end and all the little moments in-between. She created special moments that I thought we couldn’t fit in the day. She took the time to plan a first look with my dad that I originally cut because I thought we wouldn’t have time. Now I cherish those memories and love the photos I have with my dad. Her sister (second shooter for us) was also so sweet, warm, talented, and a joy to be around on our wedding day. If you want professional mixed with a new best friend that provides gorgeous photos that you, your family, and friends will cherish forever, please hire Christine. We’ve been married almost one year and my husband, family, friends, and I still talk about how much we love and appreciate Christine. Lastly, she is very responsive and has great turnaround time with getting your photos to you. She sent us some sneak peaks during our honeymoon and it was so special to see our wedding captured right after it happened. We ordered prints from her as well as an album and she was so patient and flexible to make sure it was a perfect keepsake for our family. I can remember our wedding day with joy and peace and no regrets because Christine was there to truly make our dreams into reality - it’s cheesy but it’s so true. Thank you Christine - we love and appreciate you so much!! I could go on and on with reasons Christine is an amazing photographer, editor, businesswoman, and wedding day bestie/support system. Please hire her, you’ll leave with a more enriched wedding experience and forever timeless photos.

rofessional yet personable and down to earth - they immediately made us feel at ease. My husband was least looking forward to photos on our wedding day, but even he said how big of a difference it made having Christine and how comfortable he was. She also really understood that we wanted to maximize time with our friends and family and was so efficient, while not at all compromising the quality or amount of photos that we received (she also was so quick to get our photos back to us). Her style is stunning and we are so happy with how our photos turned out!

d off her amazing work I saw on her Instagram. I don’t think we even had an initial call haha. And when we did meet prior to my wedding I could not have been more thrilled. We grabbed drinks and talked for hours. She is such a doll, so easy to talk to, so sweet and the ultimate hype woman!!!! I cannot say more amazing things about her, her sister who also photographed our wedding and her work!!! my husband and I had an an absolute blast with her on our wedding day and I was left speechless when I received our photos!! She made us feel SO comfortable and confident. I got married about 8 months ago and I have family/friends still raving about how amazing our wedding photos turned out. I have them framed all over my home. Book her NOW and ASAP you will not regret it!!!!

e and she was very accommodating. She made everyone feel comfortable and we had a great experience (along with her assistant). Do not think twice about hiring her for your big day or any special occasion. Thank you Christine!

th both our engagement and wedding photos and can’t recommend her enough! You will NOT regret choosing her :)

less and elegant is unmatched. She knows exactly what she is doing and has such an eye for detail. I can not recommend her enough!!

in the wedding party commented on how easy and fun Christine and her assistant made photos. She was the best vendor we booked and I cannot recommend her more!!

he day of - made sure she got every single family member of my huge family. She is charismatic, outgoing and truly SO much fun to have on my wedding day as well. Photos can be a bit stressful day of, and she makes it easier!! also, highly recommend her doing your custom wedding book with her after. She catered is beautifully for my husband and I and made alternative ones for both parents. Truly cannot recommend her enough! I hope to use her for many more family events in the future if she is available!

nds for an outdoor tented wedding. If you look at our photos, you'd have no idea that we had to abandon our tent wedding to move inside to escape the wind and the cold. She truly went above and beyond! I'd hire her again and again!

bride and groom, the day can go by so fast you don't have the time to appreciate all the details of your own wedding. Christine captured every part of wedding to perfection and when we look back at the photos it's seriously like we are there all over again. Aside from her keen eye for details, she has SUCH AN EYE for positioning and what makes good photos. Her eye for good photos along with her editing style will literally make anyone look good. LASTLY and this part is SO IMPORTANT, but Christine is like your best friend on the wedding day and she's such an amazing support system. She's calm, yet directive. We don't realize that posing is an art until we get our photos professionally taken and Christine will guide you through ALL OF THAT. She's just such a pleasure to be around, she's so fun, so easy to work with and sometimes that can be difficult to find when you're coupling it with ALL THE TALENT that she has. I cannot emphasize enough that she was worth every single penny and then some. If pictures are important to you at all, then definitely hire her. She is the absolute best and I cannot imagine anyone else doing better than her. Pro tip: hire her for an engagement session just to make sure you like her style. You won't regret it and you'll be rushing to hire her for the wedding! WE LOVE YOU CHRISTINE and here's a public thank you for capturing our day as beautifully as you did.

t shoot (highly recommend that you book this with her! The more time you get to spend with Christine the better!!), and the photos came out so beautiful. Leading up to our wedding day, she was so organized and kept us on track. She was there to discuss the shot list and to reassure that we would get all the photos we wanted! On our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable taking photos and her instructions were on point. She brought the best energy with her, always positive and excited! Marie was also wonderful and kept everything organized during our day, and was always there to snap a photo or fluff my dress perfectly! We received our sneak peak the day after our wedding and our photos are breathtaking and we cannot wait to see the rest. We felt like a princess and prince on our wedding day and Christine helped capture that. It was an absolute pleasure working with Christine, her work is amazing, and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic photographer!! We can't wait to book another shoot with her in the future!

I had never taken professional photos before. Christine is so genuine, kind, and easy to work with. She was able to find the perfect balance between gentle directions and capturing candid moments. We felt so at ease with her! She was also really knowledgeable about locations for photos and was able to get so many different looks from just a few locations on our day. For the Wedding day, we were able to work with both Christine and her assistant. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding day. On the wedding day itself, she was extremely organized, knowledgeable, and well prepared. The day ran so smoothly and she captured so many beautiful photos. Her editing is so timeless and romantic. My husband and I honestly love every single photo! We would highly recommend Christine, she is one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day!

elight to have around from beginning to end on our wedding day :) her positive energy and personality is the calm and reassuring yet also super fun presence every couple wants on their big day! Her eye for detail is amazing and her ability to stage the perfect "candid" shot is unmatched. We received thousands of photos from her and I can honestly say I love every. single. one. She captured us exactly as I had dreamed of when I imagined my wedding photos. Investing in a photographer who knows exactly what she's doing was by far the best wedding planning decision we made so do yourself a favor and do the same!!!

m the moment she arrived at our venue my husband and I knew we were in great hands. She perfectly balanced giving us romantic shots with the fun candids we had discussed with her a week prior. She even gave us a handful of shots less than 24 hours after the wedding! Her shots are amazing, her positive presence adds to the day, and her professionalism puts all brides/grooms at ease. Hire Christine!

ke the photograph look exquisite. We got married in mid December so most of the greenery and trees at our venue looked dead. But Christine found a location with trees and fallen leaves that looked alive and beautiful. You cannot tell from her photos that we got married in the dead of winter. If you are having a religious ceremony Christine is the perfect photographer. She knew exactly where to stand in the church to get the best photos but also remain respectful to the church. Something that I loved about Christine and one of the reasons I choose her is her idea of doing first look with the father. I had never even thought of doing that type of photo before. I’m so glad I got that special time with my dad. Like most brides, I was extremely worried about how I would look in photos. Christine eliminated all my fears. She talked me through each photo and how to move my body in positions that made me look beautiful. As a person, Christine is the best friend every girl wants. She is so kind and caring. She makes you a priority. She made sure that I felt heard and happy in all the chaos of the wedding and all the people asking for photos. She is also a lot of fun! We were able to joke with each other and talk about our lives. She made each photo fun and not just a posed portrait with forced smiles. We were able to spend two days with Christine because we had a religious ceremony the day prior to the big wedding with all the dresses. She also is incredible with family and guests. All of my family absolutely loved Christine. She felt like part of the family. I could go on and on about how wonderful Christine is as a person and photographer. Do yourself a favor and hire her. It will be the best decision you make for your wedding.

esence to put everyone at ease on the wedding day and also be light hearted, down to earth, and fun to work with. Christine is ALL THAT AND SOME! She got along with all my bridesmaids, was very sweet to my parents, and worked very professionally with all my vendors. You can tell she truly loves what she does and is genuinely happy for you as she's taking the photos. She was also great at reining in and organizing our large wedding party and large family for photos which was crucial to keeping us on schedule! Leading up to the wedding, she was super attentive and really helpful in planning out the timeline and photo logistics with my wedding planner and I. I had envisioned certain photos and poses and she made all of my photo dreams come true! When we received our sneak peaks, our jaws dropped at how breathtaking they were! Christine truly has a gift in capturing all of the emotions and special candid moments in the photos. We've had multiple guests tell us how amazing the photos are and ask us for her information. I cannot recommend her enough, she's an absolute pleasure to work with and has the most positive energy. She's not only someone you want as a photographer but also as a friend because she's such a sweetheart! I'm so excited to continue to hire her for future photoshoots in the years to come! :)

We cannot stop looking at the album as all the photos turned out so beautifully. She is highly skilled and professional, and she delivered the final album quickly (despite shooting 3 weddings the same weekend). Another thing we loved was that Christine and her assistant were close by during our cocktail hour, and made sure to take pictures of us with all of the guests as we made our rounds. We were never brought away from the party for pictures which was important to us. We are so happy with our decision to work with Christine, and can’t recommend her highly enough. – Bret & Nikole

forget them. Christine is one of those people - her warmth, professionalism, and talent are bar none and hiring her was easily the best investment we could have made for our wedding! The moment we saw Christine's work we knew that we wanted her to be our photographer but we worried it was too short notice because we had such a short wedding timeline. Nevertheless, Christine managed to fit us in. She was so professional, prompt, and helpful from the very beginning, walking us through every step of the process. When our wedding day came, having her there truly made our day. Right away her sweet presence calmed our nerves, and taking photos with her was so fun it felt more like hanging out with a best friend. She kept everyone smiling, flawlessly coordinated with our videographer, wedding planner, and wedding party, and captured magazine-worthy photos within seconds. She served as our biggest advocate as a couple, even making sure we had a few moments to take everything in and cherish the day. When we saw our sneak peak and our gallery photos, our jaw dropped- each photo was absolutely flawless. We absolutely loved working with Christine and will treasure her amazing photos as memories forever. We love you Christine!

as so understanding with all of our wedding date changes from COVID and truly the easiest to work with. I am so incredibly grateful to have met her a HIGHLY recommend her for the most perfect wedding photos!

o very friendly and has a great vibe, energy, and attitude - it was really fun working with her and her sister, Marie, on our wedding day. We have soooo many amazing photos from the day - I can't even pick my top 20, that's how great they are. She captured so many precious candid moments and had so many great ideas for different photos. Her details photos are amazing, too, and she brings the best decor for those. She also kept things moving along at a good pace so that we were on time for each event during the wedding. We have no complaints and cannot recommend her enough.

same time an amazing professional. Not only are here photos stunning but everyone loves her and you personally spend a lot of time with your photographer the day of your wedding. Do yourself a favor and get Christine (if you can- she’s popular!) and just die for your photos after the engagement and wedding. Honestly, will probably try to book her for family photos in the future too!

ld me that Christine was the right decision for our wedding. We decided to forfeit our deposit with the other photographer and book Christine. This is how much I believed in her work. She is so kind and warm. She and her assistant did such a good job keeping the photographer fun and seamless. We had a mini shoot with her before the wedding and it definitely will not be our last! We are going to make it a tradition to keep going back to Christine for our life moments :)

ment session (and hopefully wedding). She immediately gained our trust when she was super patient and attentive to our list of questions. So much so that I stopped taking notes during our chat! Once we got to our actual engagement session, my nerves for being in front of the camera immediately slipped away as Christine started directing us and our pup. We forgot that there were other people around us and felt so comfortable. It ended up being a really fun afternoon at the beach. Then when the pictures came back, we were over the moon. It was everything we wanted and MORE! Hiring Christine for our engagement session was the best decision to kick off wedding planning.

nded where to take certain photo groupings around our venue. We couldn’t do engagement photos so we were nervous about being in front of the camera and looking “Instagram model-worthy” yet natural on our wedding day. However when we met Christine on the big day, we felt like she was our best friend from the first minute we met! She gave helpful tips as we posed, boosted our confidence with compliments as she took photos, and also created special memories by reminding us of when it was our last few moments before we were officially married, etc. She is filled with so much energy that is infectious and you can feel the positivity and passion she has for her work. She was kind to our bridal party, family, and guests, and made the photos fun for everyone. Christine stood out to us because she was able to capture the split second moments that made our wedding so special. She also went above and beyond by even taking photos during our reception after her hired time had ended. The turnaround time to get our photos blew us away too. Sneak peeks less than 24hr later, a blog post 2 weeks later, and then our complete gallery in less than a month!! We can't say enough great things about her, we highly recommend her, you won’t regret it!

gorgeous each shot is. Over two years later and her photos are still my screen savers on all my devices. She was truly the sweetest, and it's so funny how much we had in common that we learned in our first meeting. She made us feel so comfortable and normal posing at the beach and SJC Mission in front of other visitors. Her vision and skills are amazing, what was an engagement session on a gloomy beach day turned into the sweetest shots that I will cherish forever. Our photos from our wedding day were beyond what we could imagine, I have no idea how she made me look like a cover girl but I love love love each shot. And she was able to capture how handsome and suave I've always known my hubby to be. We will definitely be reaching out for all our future family sessions when that time comes.

not only the most talented photographer, but a truly sweet, genuine and kind soul. I felt like she was a life long friend that spent the day photographing us. I have always been one to HATE having my photo taken and so I always have been the one volunteering to take photos of others or trying to disappear when cameras turn on. My husband has always felt so awkward smiling in front of cameras and usually is begging not to have his photo taken as well.... needless to say I was a bit worried if I didn’t find the right photographer for us that he would be miserable in front of the camera for 9 full hours lol. All that said, not only did Christine change our perspective of being in front of the camera, but she made me feel beautiful, she made my family (who also hates having photos of themselves taken) feel like they were at the Grammys, she helped my husband grow to finally like his smile and taught us all the importance of having photos taken so that we can relive such special memories. These photos mean more to me than anything I’ve ever bought/owned. If you also have a husband who doesn’t care for working the camera- you HAVE to book her. Not only did we have the best time with her, but our entire wedding party was non stop raving over how incredible she was and kept photos SO fun. Gosh I could write a novel over how many positive things I have to say about her. Ashley Thank you so much, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to thank you enough! We love you! Xoxo A & B

starting with a physical bride guide that includes tips for planning months before through the day-of, the option to purchase engagement photos, communication throughout the planning process, and superb day-of photography. We elected to schedule engagement photos with Christine and she instantly validated our decision to have her capture our wedding. She made us both feel comfortable, even when we don’t naturally seek out the camera. The day-of the wedding, she was integral in providing a great wedding day experience. Her and her team scouted out the venue and knew exactly where to take us to take photos at all portions of the wedding day and night. She was able to capture all of the moments that we cared about and we know that we have all the major pieces of our wedding to look back on forever. She also provided final photos before we made it back from our honeymoon. Christine was integral in making our wedding experience something that we can remember forever. Christine was absolutely worth the amount paid. We 100% recommend Christine Skari Photography to anyone deciding on a photographer.

, comfortable, and, at times, uncontrollably laughing. She is hilarious! Christine and her assistant photographer Marie (also her sister) were easygoing, funny, and INTENTIONAL throughout the day. They didn't miss a moment! Even in the short 5 minute walk that we took from the venue to the marina, Christine was able to capture the sweetest candid moments of us. She understood all of the technical aspects needed for beautiful photographs, while giving us easy instructions on how to get those "candid" poses. We trusted her completely and are so thankful we had her as our photographer!

le I have ever had the pleasure to meet! I am honored that she was our photographer. She made my family feel comfortable and knew just what to say to get them to pose and smile like models! My family LOVED her. My husband and I loved working with her and her sister Marie. They were so great and made us feel so natural! Christine has the best attitude and I was already pretty calm and excited the day of, but she just made me feel ten times more relaxed! She brought our vision to life and we will cherish the photographs she took for our entire life. Thank you Christine for being an absolute joy to have at our wedding, not only as our photographer, but as our friend!

stantly made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera (even though we are normally so awkward!) and it really showed in the photos. All the pictures were absolutely stunning! She captured every aspect of our rehearsal dinner and wedding beautifully. Everyone we've shown the photos to has raved over how gorgeous they are. We can't wait to work with her again in the future! Do yourself a favor and hire her ASAP! :)

lity is so fun and she makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were nervous that we would be awkward but we didn't feel that way at all! When I saw her at my wedding, it was like we were old friends catching up! My bridesmaids had such wonderful things to say about her as well. She gives easy and fun cues to help us pose. We had fun the entire time. She also helped me stay calm during family photos - nobody tells you that part is so stressful! Christine has years of experience photographing weddings and it really shows. She was easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions I had! We definitely recommend Christine! She is absolutely wonderful and couldn't imagine our wedding any other way!

oes a phenomenal job of making you feel calm and comfortable and she captures your natural joy perfectly. Could not recommend her highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book her for your big day!

now as soon as possible to book her! I was dreading picking a wedding photographer but selecting Christine was easily the best decision. When I stumbled upon Christine’s Instagram I instantly knew our search was over. Her work is incredible. I reached out to Christine and she set up a FaceTime with me and my fiancé because I explained how nervous I was in making such a huge decision and investment. All my worries went away after that phone call. Not only is Christine talented beyond measure, she is beautiful inside and out and has such a kind soul. Being a photographer is her calling! The week before the engagement session I was so nervous. We are not models and every one of Christine’s photos are beautiful, but I thought—we could never look that good! I was WRONG. Christine reassured me that all of her couples say the same thing and feel the same way. I re-read the engagement session in her information book twice before the day (which was so helpful!). On the day of the engagement both my fiancé and I completely forgot there was a camera in front of us. From Christine’s reminder to my fiancé to do his “man giggles” to her guidance in relaxing my shoulder so I look just right was so helpful! After the shoot my fiancé and I talked the whole way home about how much fun we had and how happy we were with our decision to book Christine. When we got our photos back we were in awe. The photos are absolutely stunning and our family and friend's comments regarding them, solidify that. I have people at work stop me in the hall and gush about how gorgeous our photos are! If you are going between photographers or do not know where to start and fear you won’t come out good in your photos, chose Christine. Her work speaks for itself, her personality is incredible and she is so professional. It is like we have one of our dear friends taking our pictures and I cannot wait for the big day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Christine, we are so grateful for you! See you in October!!

eparing for our special day, but the actual wedding day goes by so quickly! At the end, what we are left with is our photos--the memories that are captured at the most perfect time that retells our beautiful stories! Christine and her sister are amazingly talented--they capture images and display them in such a way that im in awe with the outcome. And a joke we always like to say amongst my friends (bc we all signed on with Christine after looking thru her portfolio) is that she makes photos look glorious--aka we look so good in them! ha. In addition to Christine's proficient skills, she's an extremely sweet person who truly puts us at the forefront--ensuring to be keen to pick up on what's impt to us/what we enjoy the most and capturing all those moments. It was raining on our wedding day and poor christine got so drenched...yet she was so energetic/full of love and her joy was so contagious i couldn't help but be happy (instead of stressed bc things were not going as planned). THANK YOU CHRISTINE--you are so so amazing!

it was exactly what I wanted for my photos. I didn't want them to look overdone, but I didn't want them to look like I took them myself. Her style is perfect, her command presence is just enough to get the job done, and she is friendly and supportive and makes you feel totally comfortable. I am very glad we put our trust in Christine to capture our wedding.

ed me to just book her and I’m glad he did because it was one of the best decisions I’ve made! She is full of personality, poses and makes all of them look natural. Not only did we have her for our wedding, we did our engagement shoot with her AND rented her AWESOME photo booth! If you are on the fence of booking her due to your budget, just save a little more and you won’t regret it! They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but Christine’s pictures are worth over a million! My husband and I LOVE her and will book her for our other photos in the future! Thank you Christine, her sister, and her boyfriend for making our wedding day truly special!

r wedding are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Choosing Christine was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I 100% recommend her for any photographic needs you may have (wedding or other) and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you get the best photos. Thank you Christine for capturing the love and joy that Ryan and I shared on our wedding day. We love you!!

! Everyone that has seen our pictures loves them and continues to tell me how talented Christine is (and we both agree)! Christine made my fiance and I feel comfortable in front of the camera and made it so easy. I knew our wedding pictures would be amazing after receiving our engagement pictures that Christine took. She is AMAZING I cannot say that enough and you will not regret booking her! I know I will continue to use her for any photography need we will need in the future. I am already recommending her to other engaged couples I know.

n top of her bubbly and down to earth personality. you can honestly tell she loves what she does and gets excited just sharing the photos with you. most photographers can take 4-6 weeks for turnaround time to edit and deliver photos, but christine? her turnaround time for our wedding photos were a week and a half! WEEK AND A HALF!!! our photos were timeless and honestly beyond words, we are so happy and thankful we booked her. we actually just recently booked a mini-session for holiday photos with her as well and turnaround time was 4 DAYS! once again extremely happy with our forever photos! we love you christine and will continue to book with you! thanks for everything! <3

ommunication between her and us has been exceptional. Christine knows how to make everyone feel so comfortable, she truly makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. We are so thankful for her talent, her sense of humor and her efficiency, we feel as if we have a forever friend in Christine. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, stop your search now and choose Christine! Thank you for everything! With Love, The Salinas’

l. I can confidentially say I will be hiring her for all of my future photo needs. Her style of photography looks like a fairytale. She got my pictures back to me so quickly. Beyond all of that, I lover her as a person. All of my wedding guests were in love with her, and hope to hire her one day as well. Christine is the best! Trust me!
