My husband and I could not be happier with how Christina did everything. From my initial call with her to our engagement session to my boudoir session to the big day. She made my husband and me feel so comfortable with everything. She made everything fun and relaxing. I never had any doubt that a single shot or moment would be missed on our big day. Her assistant on our wedding day Nikki was the best. She hung out with my husband and his side of the wedding party and I was told made it very fun for them as none of them like being on camera but some how she was able to capture everything. If it wasn't for Christina we wouldn't have all these memories to look back on every day. She also helped me find the perfect match of a videographer to capture everything on film. If you don't book Christina, you would be seriously missing out on some amazing pictures.
I came across Christina and Luxe Light Images on a local wedding blog. Her work was beautiful. By time I found her, I had already booked my wedding photog, but thought I should do a boudoir session for a wedding present for my FH. I booked it in February for a June date. She had many dates available, but figured I wanted to feel my best. I was SOOOOOOO nervous. I called my mom the night before panicking. I am not really a shy person, but this is a very personal and open shoot. My mother told me I was being crazy.
The next morning, I met Christina at her studio. It is beautiful. It is open and has all different kinds of areas with lighting and seating.
I got my hair and makeup done. WOW!!!! I looked incredible!
Sitting there getting the hair/makeup done and chatting with the stylist and Christina relaxed me a bit. After--we went through clothing options. She helped me with what would look good, etc.
Once the shoot started, my nerves came back. I felt very exposed and vulnerable. However, Christina made the entire shoot so relaxed and fun. She hyped me up the whole time and I began to feel good about myself and comfortable in the process.
At the reveal, I was quite literally shocked. I didnt even recognize myself. The pictures were stunning and so tasteful. I looked absolutely incredible. Christina does amazing work and makes the boudoir shoot fun! She makes you so comfortable and relaxed! I would 100% recommend her for a boudoir shoot! Her wedding photos are stunning too! She was quick to respond, easy to schedule with and just a wonderful person! I wish I could do a session every year!
Christina is one of the most amazing photographers I came across with. She creates beauty behind the lens that will leave you speechless as you look through your photos during “The Reveal”. Christina has the innate ability to capture the rawness and innocence of a smile as well as the boldness and softness of one's sensuality. Christina’s energy is so kind and non-judgmental that she makes you feel at ease and comfortable in an instance.
I highly recommend her services. Check out her website and her studio in Downtown St. Pete. You will not regret it.
Christina is a true passionate, talented professional. She’s kind, attentive, and took phenomenal photos. Her work will truly astound you! I’m thankful she was our photographer because we have the most romantic, gorgeous photos imaginable.
Christina and her team were AMAZING. They made my wedding day feel so special. From the planning process all the way to the reveal of our gallery, she made me feel like my wedding was the best one she’d ever done! I am shy in front of the camera, but she really made both of us feel comfortable and captured a lot of great shots. She was very accommodating in that we had two wedding ceremonies, and she was there throughout. She helped take the burden off of me by following through with decisions I made prior to the wedding day without stepping on anyone’s toes, which was a burden lifted from my shoulders. Plus, the photos came out great! I used her for a photo book as a wedding gift to my husband before our wedding, and will be using her again for family pictures. She is not the cheapest photographer around but is well worth the cost, you really get what you pay for when it comes to photography. Not only the pictures, but the entire experience was so worth it!
Working with Christina was like working with a friend that automatically knew all the shots you would love. She is very passionate about her job, talented, organized, and has a gift for capturing the magical moments. I searched around for the best wedding photographer, which was hard to do out of state, and I truly feel like Christina was exactly that, the BEST! All of my guests still rant and rave about her! Not only was she amazing at her job but she was always accessible for all my questions about non-photographer things, like who to use as other venders. My husband is AWFUL at picture taking and Christina guided him, and gave such good direction that she was able to get so many amazing shots! I am in LOVE with all my pictures!!! I feel like she was much more than a photographer on my wedding day, but more so like my planner/friend... she helped me every step of the way throughout the entire day, and even had a bride emergency kit which came in handy when the groom got makeup on his shirt and I got a blue spot on my dress... she was right there with the tide pen to save the day! I can honestly say, besides the groom, Christina was the best decision I made for my wedding day!
Christina did an amazing job capturing our personalities, and all the details of our engagement, my boudoir, our wedding and first family photos! We'll be continuing to use her for all our upcoming events. Nothing felt awkward or forced. She was a pleasure to work with!
Do yourself a favor and stop your search for a wedding photographer here! Christina at Luxe Light Photography should absolutely be your top choice. I placed a ton of importance on our wedding photos - at the end of the day, it's the only thing you have to remember your wedding. Luxe Light Photography came recommended by a mutual friend, and I'm thrilled she did!
Christina is amazing - she has a calming nature that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and you walk away knowing you will be happy with your photos. She offers several photography packages and even the least expensive one is comprehensive of what you'll need for your wedding. We chose The Essentials package which included 6 hours of coverage with two photographers and a one-hour engagement session.
ENGAGEMENT SESSION:
We got engaged in mid-April and by the time we hired Christina, it was summer in Florida...not a good time to feel pretty for an outdoor photo shoot. We decided to wait until it cooled off a bit and scheduled our session for January. We ended up having to reschedule twice (once was our fault and once was because of weather) and Christina was incredibly accommodating. Even though she usually does engagement sessions during the week, she offered to have ours on a Saturday morning so we wouldn't have to take more time off work. By the time we actually had the session, we were less than 2 months prior to the wedding. I expressed that I wanted to use the engagement photos to make an album for our guestbook and was a little worried about the time it would take. Christina got all of the edited photos to us - about 75 for a one-hour session - within a week of shooting. And they were BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't wait to use them, and our guestbook turned out gorgeous.
WEDDING:
Christina and her assistant, Joanna, showed up promptly to our venue and got started right away. It was totally chaotic with 10 girls running around getting ready, but they were able to get the shots they needed without being in people's way. We had several family members fly in from overseas for the wedding, and the excitement of the reunion was making it difficult to get everyone lined up for post-ceremony photos. Together Christina and Joanna were able to gather everyone and get all the shots on our list (with time to spare). And everyone loved the two of them! After the wedding, I got so many compliments about how calm and collected they were. We haven't received our wedding photos yet (it's still early according to the contract terms), but Christina has posted a few and they are gorgeous! I can't wait to get the rest, as I know they will be just as beautiful. I highly recommend her!
Do yourself a favor and book an sexy Boudoir photo session with Christina. It is not only such a great wedding gift for your future husband, but also the best ego stroke you will ever have! I have done 2 different sessions with her- both different, but both incredibly unique and so so much fun. Trust me when I say that no matter what type of photos you are looking for, the search is over. You will not be disappointed!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Christina! I have always wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot but I was always too scared and shy. I got engaged and decided that I was doing this for someone else, therefore it made me able to commit. Christina gave me the option to meet in person to discuss my ideas and how it all works or discuss via phone. I chose by phone. I felt terrible as I must have asked her 8,000 questions but she was very patient and made me feel much more at ease. I chose a package that included hair and makeup which made my life easier and both hair and makeup turned out lovely. I showed up to my session nervous as ever and thank goodness she brought me a mimosa. By the end of the session, we were laughing and I truly felt like I was hanging out with one of my best girlfriends. I left feeling proud and excited. Shortly after, she met with me in person to present me with my photos. I have a hard time seeing photos of myself so I was a bit nervous to see how they turned out. I was amazed! I actually had a hard time selecting which ones to use in my book because I wanted them all! We created a beautiful book together (but she has tons of various ways of displaying your photos!) and my now husband was thrilled when I gave it to him. Thank you for Christina for helping me do something so far outside of my comfort zone and making me feel like I can do anything.
Christina is amazing!! She was so helpful with any questions I had about my destination wedding. She also was so professional and personable, felt like I knew her for years. I enjoyed working with her and hope to again! I would highly suggest her, her photography is beautiful !!
I met Christina at a Bridal Show and, after looking at her sample of boudoir photos, I decided that I wanted to make a boudoir book for my husband’s wedding gift. I’m fairly conservative, so the book was completely out of my comfort zone, but I thought that it would be a special gift that my husband and I would treasure for many years. Due to my hesitation, Christina met with me for coffee after the bridal show, because I needed some reassurance before committing to doing something like that. She spent a lot of time with me, and by the end of that meeting, I felt completely comfortable around her. She is such a genuinely kind person. During the photo session, she helped me put together some outfits and, after taking a few photos, she showed me them on her camera so that I would feel more confident. She is such a great person to work with, and is so talented! The photo book that she put together was beautiful, and she made me feel like a model. I recommend her to any bride!
