Best Photographer Ever!
Cristina is too wonderful for words! She is an absolute joy to work with and her photos are beyond stunning. Neither my husband nor I have any idea what we’re doing in front of a camera, and Cristina could not have been kinder or more patient with us during both our engagement photos and wedding day. We brought along our dog for our engagement photos, and Cristina never batted an eye during his less-than-cooperative moments. She made the engagement photo session a complete breeze and so much fun from start to finish. Her partner, Constantin, joined for the wedding day, and they made the most incredible photography duo. They captured all the important moments and ensured that we got every last photo we wanted. They also handled corralling everyone for large family photos in an extremely timely and orderly fashion. They’re both so lovely, fun to work with, and take the most incredibly beautiful photos! I could not recommend Cristina (and Constantin!) more highly.Cristina is too wonderful for words!

Perfection
Cristina and Konstantin are a DREAM! Choosing the right photographer was so critical to us as we knew these photographs were how we would reflect on our big day. Once we saw Cristina's portfolio, we were hooked and knew we had to have them! Not only are they the sweetest, but they were so tentative to the bridal party as well as our family and friends. Their experience and expertise made our day so seamless and comfortable! From fanning out my dress and veil, to suit adjusting and hair fluffing, these two really do it all to make sure that every shot is perfect. Since the day we received our photos, we have not stopped staring at them! They make us laugh and cry the happiest tears as we are reliving some of the happiest moments of our lives. The way that Cristina and Konstantin captured the most candid moments is something we will truly cherish forever!! These two will always hold a special place in our hearts and we would recommend them over and over again!Cristina and Konstantin are a DREAM!

The Best of the Best!
Cristina and her second-shooter, Konstantin, are beyond amazing.
When we first started searching for a wedding photographer in Chicago, we were overwhelmed, as there are so many options. However, Cristina’s portfolio quickly caught our attention. Specifically, we noticed her nighttime portraits and the excitement and energy that each one captured. I had never seen photos that were so beautiful. After speaking with her and looking over her packages, we knew that she was the one.
There are so many wonderful things to say about Cristina, so this post will be a little long. But most importantly (to me), Cristina is incredibly responsive. Before and after the wedding, she responded to each of my emails within 24 hours, no matter how small or silly the question. She was always kind, straight-forward, and patient.
A few months before our wedding, I saw in one of her Instagram posts that Cristina offers hybrid (film + digital) packages. Since our venue was very romantic and garden-esque, we knew that we wanted to benefit of both mediums. It was one of the best decisions that we made in the wedding planning process. Obviously, everyone knows that Cristina’s digital images look as if they were taken straight out of a high fashion magazine, but to me, her film images are even more beautiful. She was able to capture such vibrant colors and soft images. I honestly can’t stop staring them.
Also, I can’t imagine that our day would have run as smoothly with any other photographer. Cristina kept everyone on schedule. My day-of coordinator actually told us that she was one of the best photographers that she’s worked with.
After the wedding, we received so many photos, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I love all of them. We have so many images perfect for printing and hanging, but she also captured our guests and our interactions with them. I think many people underestimate how meaningful those photos end up being. We are able to look back and see our family and friends enjoying themselves on the dance floor, and we weren’t able to enjoy all of those moments on our wedding day, as we were so busy mingling. I look back at the photos, and they take me right back to that day.
And finally, we ordered our wedding album and parent albums through Cristina. That process was seamless, and we are blown away by the quality of the albums. (I’ve actually had five people reach out to me to ask where I had them made.)
If we had to do it again, we should choose Cristina and her team every time! They are simply the best of the best!Cristina and her second-shooter, Konstantin, are beyond amazing.

Absolutely amazing!
Cristina was one of the first vendors we hired after we got engaged and am SO happy that we did. She was super helpful and amazing to work with before the wedding. On the wedding day she knew what she was doing and had such an artistic vision for all of the pictures. She was also able to wrangle our big families to make family portraits run efficiently. She helped place my dress for each of the photos and made sure everyone was posed correctly. Konstantine was the 2nd shooter at our wedding and he was amazing as well. 200% would recommend Cristina G to anyone getting married that really wants good quality pretty pictures.Cristina was one of the first vendors we hired after we got engaged and am SO happy that we did.

Christina was amazing!!! We are so thankful we found her and our family pictures turned out beautiful!. The whole process was easy going and painless and even our teenage boys had a good time. I feel like I found a friend in her and we will definitely be using Christina again. I can’t say enough good things about the quality, professionalism, and overall experience.

I don’t even know where to start this glowing review of Cristina G Photography. My husband and I hired Cristina over a year ago to do our engagement photos and then our wedding this past March. From our first meeting with Cristina we knew she was the one. She made us feel comfortable and confident that she would guide us through some posed photos but also capture those special candid moments of our big day and most importantly, she acted as excited to be a part of our wedding as we were. She made us feel like our wedding day was incredibly important to her, not just because we are her clients but because she understood that these photos would serve as memories documenting one of the best days of our lives for years and years to come. Her excitement and professionalism made her very easy to trust with one of the most important aspects of our big day. We are two people not very comfortable in front of the camera but she helped us be as prepared as possible with her guidance around everything from outfits to hair and makeup to locations for our engagement photos and our big day. Our engagement photos were RIDICULOUS! I can’t tell you how many people described them as they best they’ve ever seen. She captured our love beautifully but also guided us to iconic locations and beautiful backdrops in the city where we fell in love and started our lives together (Chicago). The photos from our wedding day are even more stunning and every single scenario we wanted was captured from high impact scenic shots in downtown Chicago to candid shots of our families on the dancefloor. Her signature champagne shot at the end of the night is MANDATORY for all couples (not by her, I’m just saying you’re crazy if you don’t do it)! It is the MOST joyful and happy photo from our wedding day, I can’t look at it without breaking into a smile and maybe even a few happy tears.

Cristina G photographed our wedding on June 24, 2017. She was one of the first vendors we booked because she came so highly regarded by so many people and all I can say is, I couldn't be happier!! She is truly an incredible photographer with an awesome personality. All you have to do is look on her Instagram and blog to see how amazing her photography is, and I can vouch that the photos she showed us were absolutely incredible!! However, it's not just her amazing photography that makes her the best choice, it's her personality!! She was amazing to work with - so organized, friendly, and easy to get a long with. She did an awesome job of coordinating our 16-person bridal party - which was no easy task. I would recommend her fully without hesitation and I would re-hire her in a second. She was worth every penny and we will treasure her photos forever.Cristina G photographed our wedding on June 24, 2017.

Cristina G. is simply amazing. She is extraordinarily talented and we cannot have imagined any other photographer making our wedding day as special as she did. We just received our professional photos and are simply in awe – she captured our day perfectly and we could not be happier! The first call I had with her was a very detailed call to go over pricing, what to expect in the packages, and what to expect from her throughout the process. I had full trust in her that she would take gorgeous photos, and she did just that! We took our engagement photos in September 2015 which was a perfect opportunity to get to know Cristina and her photography style in advance of the wedding. Sometimes taking posed photos can be awkward but not at all with her. We felt comfortable and she captured great moments, especially with our French Bulldog! A couple weeks before our wedding, she sent a short questionnaire which was a good way to get any feedback from me on what must have photos we want with family and guests. Also, a side note that Cristina is very quick at responding to emails and calls which is a plus in the wedding planning world! When wedding day arrived, Cristina and her associate Konstantin were there while we were still getting ready. It was great to have both of them there to split between bridal room and groom's room. They were both extremely professional and were also so easy to be around. The day went so smoothly and they captured countless gorgeous moments. Our wedding photos came in about 7 weeks after the wedding, and let's just say I cried for a while when looking through them. The poses, the settings, the angles, everything was just perfect, and the special moments they captured are just stunning! Cristina is not only an amazing photographer but she is a really great person. She cares for her clients and is genuinely so excited to take photos for your special day. You will not be disappointed if you book Cristina for your photographer!Cristina G. is simply amazing.

It has taken me awhile to write this review because I could not decide how to best approach it and give Cristina the proper outstanding review she deserves. Words cannot express how wonderful it was to work with her and the pure magic she works with the camera. Cristina was HANDS DOWN the best vendor I hired for our wedding this past May (2016). I have received the most marvelous complements about our wedding photos and she captured beautiful memories that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. We used her for both our engagement photos and wedding photos-- we couldn't have been happier. The planning process with Cristina went very smoothly. She is a pro and knew what questions to ask to be extremely organized for the big day. Another plus was that she kept us more on schedule than the day of coordinator we hired and made sure we received all the shots we wanted. I urge you to visit her Instagram to see the beautiful work she does (@cristinagphoto). Her work is phenomenal and it seems like she is doing another gorgeous wedding every weekend (book early!). I have attached some of our pictures. There is a certain softness and elegance to them that I do not always see in other photographers' work (considering it is now wedding season and everyone is posting their pictures). It is hard to describe but the quality is evident. She has a great eye for details as well as the beauty and unique moments of each wedding she shoots. She becomes personally invested in each wedding she shoots and her compassion for what she does shows in her work. I know this review is really gushy and corny but honestly, the pictures speak for themselves. Do your research but you will find that Cristina's work is one of the best in Chicago. My husband and I will definitely be recommending her to our closest family and friends!It has taken me awhile to write this review because I could not decide how to best approach it and give Cristina the proper outstanding review she deserves.

Cristina G is such an amazing photographer! She photographed our engagement session and wedding photos, and we are in awe of how beautiful they turned out! We cannot help but look at these photos every single day, and remember back to the most amazing moments of our lives! Cristina is so sweet and does a phenomenal job at making you feel comfortable and captures moments you did not even know could be captured. She also was very responsive to emails and phone calls and preparing us for what to expect (day of timeline, expectations, suggestions, etc.) We would highly recommend working with her!!Cristina G is such an amazing photographer!

Cristina G is so delightful to work with. I have not seen all my photos yet, but what I have seen is STUNNING. Her photos are beautifully artistic without being over the top and cheesy. She made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout our wedding day, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos! I live in San Diego, my wedding was in Chicago, so I didn't have time to meet any photographers before the wedding. After seeing her photos and a few phone calls, I knew she was my girl. She had never been to my venue, so we met a month before the wedding to walk through the site and plan a few photo areas. She was so sweet and accommodating throughout the whole process.Cristina G is so delightful to work with. I have not seen all my photos yet, but what I have seen is STUNNING.

My husband and I were tasked with planning our wedding in Glenview, IL from Toronto where we live. I first came across Cristina and her team when searching online for local photographers, and immediately fell in love with her dreamy wedding shots!
Angelo and I first met-up with Cristina for our engagement shoot down town Chicago in May. Her Nighttime Lovers photos are captivating and I had to have some of my own! My husband isn't used to getting his photos taken but being the pro that she is, Cristina encouraged and posed him until he relaxed and started having fun with the shoot. The results couldn't have been better!
Fast forward to our wedding. Cristina called me about a month prior to the wedding to discuss logistics, ideas for photos, and basically my entire wedding. She filled me in on tons of details I hadn't even thought about! She asked about my dress, the decor, the atmosphere were hoping to capture and more. It is through her knowledge of the small details of our wedding that she was able to capture exactly the type of photos we hoped for. Our photos are magical!
I can honestly say that choosing Cristina as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. She could have made us look good in paper bags!My husband and I were tasked with planning our wedding in Glenview, IL from Toronto where we live.

Cristina G and co were absolutely amazing during our wedding! Cristina is very down to earth and flexible. When we were late for engagement photos (oops) she immediately jumped into action and made the best of the situation (and using the quickly fading sunlight). She's great at guiding you into the poses and positions that will make for the best pictures and clearly knows what she is doing. She is very professional but also has fun with it and clearly enjoys her work. During our wedding, she setup beautiful pictures around the city and helped me pick the best spots for gorgeous pictures. During our trolley ride around the city, she went out of her way to help me pick me up my dress and rearrange it in new photo spots for stunning photos. Little things like this showed she was willing to go above and beyond for her clients and I really appreciated the help! During our wedding I barely noticed she and her partner were there. They are very good at capturing candid moments and different views of the important "wedding" moments. I would highly recommend Cristina and her team to anyone.Cristina G and co were absolutely amazing during our wedding! Cristina is very down to earth and flexible.

I'm so glad that Cristina G Photography was recommended to us for our wedding! Just looking at photos from previous weddings in her online galleries made me trust that the photographs of my wedding would be beautiful. Even though my husband and I live out of town, we were able to have phone meetings with Cristina to discuss our wedding, and she was so friendly and helpful from the start.
On the day of our wedding Cristina and her assistant were great! She was such a nice person to have with us while we were getting ready. Because we had some issues with rain that day, we changed around the schedule and decided to have the bride and groom first look pictures done before the ceremony and Cristina was very accommodating and helpful while we were trying to decide what to do. We love all the picture that were taken during the day, and we didn't even notice that they were taking pictures of us during the ceremony. There was such a nice mixture of posed and candid photographs, which was exactly what we wanted. It was great when we got the pictures back because it helped us remember the little moments from the day that might have been forgotten otherwise.
After looking at some of the albums that Cristina put together, we decided to order one as well. She has put together such a beautiful collection of photos from the day, I can't wait to see the finished product! Overall, Cristina was such a wonderful, professional, and genuinely nice person to have with us on our wedding day, and we are so grateful that she was able to capture so many special moments!I'm so glad that Cristina G Photography was recommended to us for our wedding!

We were blown away by Cristina G’s talent, creativity, attention to detail, and passion. We were so happy that Cristina and Konstantin captured our wedding day. Cristina has a wonderful balance of traditional, emotional, and romantic that show beautifully throughout photos. Working with Cristina G was a perfect match for us and she has given us beautiful photographs to remember our wedding day!
I can still recall the excitement of getting Cristina’s message about our photos being ready after the wedding. The fact that she was so excited for us and so sweet makes the experience even more fun and special.
Cristina always responded promptly to my emails and questions. She went out of her way and offered to meet us last minute and to scope out first look locations when we had a hard time deciding. She offered good suggestions and I appreciated her honesty. Her attention to detail is incredible – she reminded me about a few things and I appreciated her taking the extra step to provide the best service to us.
Our family and friends are still raving about Cristina G’s beautiful work. We’ve been told that we have “the best wedding photos” they have ever seen! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Cristina and we look forward to the next time we will need professional photos taken – we will definitely be calling Cristina!

We are so happy we decided to have Cristina as our wedding photographer!! She is so fabulous to work with and her photos are simply stunning!! I could not have more perfect memories from our wedding day! Cristina came as a recommendation from a friend, I looked through some of her work and I loved everything I saw. I scheduled to meet with several photographers, but I knew right away that Cristina was the way to go. She is so sweet to work with and has such an amazing talent. We did an engagement session with Cristina and my now husband was not looking forward to this to say the least. He is not a fan of being the center of attention and certainly not along the Chicago RIver at 5pm on a Friday! Cristina did an amazing job making him feel comfortable and having fun taking our pictures that just turned out amazing. And my husband even learned a few things from the session that helped make our wedding day pictures so much more amazing! Cristina was also really amazing with any questions I had leading up to the big day with suggestions on winter wraps to wear on our 3/1/14 wedding as well as photo shoot locations for pre ceremony pictures around the city. She also helped with suggestions for a day of wedding coordinator that helped bring it all together! On the big day, it was so great having Cristina with me the whole day, I think I spent more time with her than my husband!! Again, Cristina and Constantin did an amazing job making my husband feel completely comfortable and enjoy the picture process. She was always easy to find when I wanted a picture taken but I never felt like she was in the way. Her ideas for some creative shots turned out truly AMAZING!! We are in love with our photos. I seriously can't stop looking at them everyday and everyone that has seen them gives me amazing complements! My photos were a huge part of the big day and they turned our simply stunning!

After reviewing dozens and dozens of photographers in the Chicago area, my husband and I fell in love with Cristina's work. I found most photographers' portfolio examples depict outdoor, brightly lit scenes (which Cristina can do amazingly, as demonstrated by our springtime engagement shots), but few photographers can capture indoor, nighttime scenes. Cristina's experience with nighttime photography was a perfect fit for our evening-time winter wedding. She is amazing at dreaming up interesting and unique shots spontaneously in the moment (for instance, we found some heart graffiti that we used as a backdrop for an engagement photo in the park) and is wonderful at providing guidance ahead of time during the planning process (like where should grandma sit at the reception to get her reaction to the speeches, what getaway car looks best in pictures, or great makeup artists that do work that really pops in pictures). Her pictures absolutely speak for themselves though. In addition to her endless talent, she is also wonderful to work with. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she was great at providing easy and natural instructions that helped us look our best in the photos. Konstantin joined Cristina for our wedding day, and the two of them make an amazing team. They are experts at working quickly without sacrificing quality, which is so important the day of your wedding as things inevitably go behind schedule. We are huge Cristina G fans and can't wait for her to capture future anniversary and (hopefully one day!) family shots!After reviewing dozens and dozens of photographers in the Chicago area, my husband and I fell in love with Cristina's work.

Cristina was a wonderful wedding photographer! From the first meeting she was very open and friendly, something my husband and I did not always experience from other photographers we met. Actually, the process of choosing a photographer was pretty stressful until we met Cristina. She helped me not only with ideas for the photographs, but also with ideas about making the wedding run smoother in general. Her advice and insight were so appreciated. The day of the wedding she was the perfect balance of helping me know what to do and where to go, without ever being in the way. The photographs she took turned out amazing! She did such a great job of capturing the emotions of the day. So many family members have told me how wonderful they find my wedding pictures and have ordered prints for themselves. I think that by far Cristina was the best investment of our wedding budget! If she is available for your date book her right away!Cristina was a wonderful wedding photographer!

Cristina was an amazing wedding and engagement photographer. My husband and I are thrilled with the pictures she took. We especially liked her responsiveness during the entire process. She was a pleasure to work with during our wedding day. We just received our photos and they are absolutely amazing - a great balance between traditional and creative; she listened to what we were looking for that day. We would definitely recommend her to friends and family and hope to use her again for family photos in the future.Cristina was an amazing wedding and engagement photographer.

Cristina is a fabulous photographer to work with. From the very beginning she made me feel very at ease. She is very organized and researched our venue and church before even meeting with her which really impressed me. She was so professional and organized the day of the wedding even arriving to my parents house early. I don't have my pictures yet but I saw some previews and I am completely blown away.Cristina is a fabulous photographer to work with. From the very beginning she made me feel very at ease.

We had a very small wedding and THE most important thing to us was the photography. Cristina G. was one of the first names we came across and fell in love with what we saw in her portfolio. Even after viewing MANY other photographers' sites, we kept coming back to Cristina...and we are SO glad we did. Her eye for beautiful pictures is amazing. We wanted pictures that were more "candid" and carefree, ones that were very sweet and romantic as opposed to the traditional staged wedding photos and that's EXACTLY what we got. And to top it off, she is so easy to work with - very professional, very accommodating, and very, very sweet. The photos were delivered on time as promised and were absolutely breathtaking. We've heard over and over again from friends and "strangers" that our pictures looked like they could have come straight out of a bridal magazine.
