Working with Christina was, without a doubt, our FAVORITE part of the wedding. She was so easy to get along and her stunning photography speak for themselves. We first found her via social media- we saw that she had previously shot at Brazil Room, our venue, and her portfolio quality was a step above all other photographers, including many who were much more expensive than her. We loved our fun engagement session at me and my husband's favorite spots in the city, which was followed by a two year wedding hiatus due to COVID. Rescheduling our date with Christina was a breeze, as she was so accommodating beyond our expectation. We were glad to have had our beautiful engagement photos to tide us over until our wedding. Like so many friends warned us, our wedding day flew by in a blink of an eye. At the end of the night, my husband and I were asking ourselves if we really just got married. We were hungry for photos to relive the day. Christina quickly sent us some highlights which brought me and my husband to tears. A few weeks later, we received our full album. We only have these photos to relive our big day, and we couldn't be happier that Christina was there to chronicle our wedding. Thank you!!!! read more

When we first reached out to Christina, she set up a virtual meet and greet for us to chat with her. Right as the call ended, we knew had picked the right photographer and we booked her right away. Christina was transparent, great at communicating with us, and super helpful along the way. She made it easy to also book our engagement shoot. On the day of our engagement shoot, Christina was very knowledgeable on the area we picked, and chose scenic spots for us to take pictures. She also made the shoot incredibly fun for us. After seeing the proofs from our engagement shoot, we quickly recognized that Christina had captured what we wanted. We were beyond happy with how our pictures turned out. As the wedding got closer, we had another virtual meeting with Christina. She gave us a detailed sheet of how the shots would be for our wedding day. This helped put our mind at ease and took a lot of stress off of us for our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Christina was beyond attentive and helpful. She really captured all the best moments of our day. When we look at the photos, we can see all the love and happiness that transpired that day. We are so happy that we chose Christina. It was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! read more

We hired Christina for our wedding, coming up in April 2019, but I'm writing a review now because we already had her shoot our city hall ceremony. The ceremony was on a Friday and she had the photos back to us by Tuesday morning!!! She told us the turnaround time was about two weeks which I think is really good but she delivered way faster. The photos are beautiful!! Christina captures the light and the feel of the moment so perfectly. One of the most important things to me in a photographer is that they capture genuine moments, not just glamorous posed shots (which she also does well) and Christina captured lots of laughs and little moments between us. She's also a pleasure to work with. I thought we would be a little uncomfortable and awkward in front of the camera but I didn't feel that way at all with Christina! We were able to feel relaxed and be ourselves with her. She also met with us one evening before the shoot and got to know a bit more about us and our wedding. I highly recommend Christina and if you like beautiful light and joy filled photos you won't be disappointed! read more

We could not have asked for a more talented and professional photographer for our Wedding in July 2021, Christina is truly wonderful! Instantly, we were drawn to Christina's vivid and colorful photos and knew that would be a perfect match for our wedding (and personalities). From our initial consultation to the day of our wedding, Christina provided us with guidance (from locations to what outfits photograph best) to ensure that we would have the best photos. We really appreciated her honesty, but also willingness to capture what was truly special to us. Her flexibility and assurance during a planning season fraught by Covid regulations always put us at ease. And lastly, our photos were simply stunning and we will treasure them forever. read more

Christina was such a pleasure to work with! She is super easy going and strives to get to know her couples at a personal level. While we chose to not do engagement photos (so she didn't get a chance to get to know what type of photos/poses we felt comfortable with), she was still able to capture so many beautiful moments on the day of. I especially enjoyed the questions she'd ask to catch reactions, as they were both fun to think about and respond to. Christina turns around photos so fast! You definitely go through some wedding withdrawal after the day is over, so it's wonderful being able to look over pictures so soon after to be able to reminisce. Looking back at the pictures, it seems like she was everywhere at once! She was able to capture pictures across all our guests, while not missing moments with us. She is also incredibly efficient with wrangling up family/big groups and getting the obligatory shots done. She blends right in as activities are happening, so it's easy to be yourself without feeling like you're being constantly watched/documented. We loved the positivity and energy Christina brought to our day. She was a great coach for the day of and helped keep us on schedule and just overall directing things (we didn't have a day of coordinator). We really couldn't have been happier with anyone else as our photographer!! read more

What can we say? Christina is AWESOME! Not only did we hire a wonderful photographer to capture the special moments of our engagement and wedding, but we also made a new friend :). There is a lot we could highlight, but here are a few: - Responsive in preparation mode, pre-wedding, and during - Professional throughout - Flexible with scheduling and to requests - Pleasant to work with and always happy (our families instantly liked her) - Most importantly, a great photographer who captured what went by so quickly for us at the ceremony and reception Christina went above and beyond to make us comfortable during our photo-shoots and even sent us inspirational notes and gifts leading up to the special day. We couldn't recommend Christina more. Thank you! read more

Professional, kind, enthusiastic and encouraging. Christina helped me when I needed photos for Spearing Magazine. She helped me get excited about the task at hand, guided me through how to capture certain action shots and even helped me feel safe in a pretty extreme environment. She's thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring. It felt like she genuinely cares about getting the best shots of me when I don't really enjoy being in front of the camera. read more

Hiring Christina for our wedding was the best decision we made! From our engagement shoot, through the wedding planning process, to our wedding day, she made everything fun, easy and straightforward. She was the photographer for our friends' wedding a few years ago, and from the time we started wedding planning I knew we needed to book her too. We had a big wedding party and she did an amazing job organizing our shot list and wrangling our friends and family for photos in an organized and efficient way, while making sure we all had fun. Our end results are amazing! I had such a hard time picking my favorites for our album because I love them all. I know I'll be showing these off forever! Hire her immediately :) read more

I HIGHLY recommend Christina and CM Sours for any of your professional photo needs. She is incredible!! My wife and I had been recommended to use Christina's services for our engagement pictures and we had an amazing experience. We're both a little on the shy side but Christina had somehow found a way to make us both feel very comfortable while posing. She turned it into a fun event and the results speak for themselves. We actually had such a good time that we decided to have her shoot our wedding this past Fourth of July weekend. We recently received the final edits and they blew us away. She was fun, kind and very personable. Not only would I recommend her and CM Sours Photography but we know exactly who we're going to next time we need professional pictures taken. Thank you Christina!! You're the best! read more

Christina was the best photographer we could have ever dreamed of to capture our 8-18-18 wedding! We are so thankful that we got to work with her and experience the magic of her photos! I first reached out to Christina in February 2018. We quickly set up an in-person meeting the very next day and I was so captivated by her bubbly personality and the quality of her work that I had a feeling she would be the one! We booked the White Gold package with her (10 hours wedding photography and free engagement session). Our April engagement session photos at Fort Mason & Pier 7 came out absolutely gorgeous and we had so much fun with Christina guiding us on the poses! Our August wedding at the Cliff House at Ocean Beach was an absolute blast and the guests loved every minute they had with Christina! She was so organized and thorough in getting all the shots we wanted with family and friends and we were so grateful to be in expert hands! Throughout the whole timeline leading up to the wedding, Christina has pleasantly surprised us with her flexibility with timing, dependability, super quick turnaround on photos (we loved getting a small sneak peek at the wedding album just one day after the wedding), and overall cheerfulness! She has been an absolute joy and delight to work with! I can truly say that it has been a pleasure and we can't wait to go back for more photo opportunities in the future! Thank you, Christina! read more

Christina was the best photographer!! She was so much fun to work with and made the entire process easy and super enjoyable. Her pictures are so beautiful. She made our goats look even more adorable in our engagement shoot :) And didn't judge me when I wanted to take some wedding pictures with my cat....!!! Thank you SO much Christina!! read more

Honestly, hiring Christina was the best decision we made for our wedding. We are not people who like being the center of attention, and definitely don't enjoy have our pictures taken. But from the first time meeting her at our Engagement Photo session (included in package price) Christina made us feel so comfortable! She kept the vibe super chill and relaxed, had us laughing throughout the entire shoot, and made us forget that we were at a public beach doing a photo shoot. My now husband and I both left feeling GREAT about the experience and couldn't wait to have her photographing our wedding. The same things can be said for the day of the wedding. Christina fit in so easily to the atmosphere of our day! I want to say she blended in so that you almost didn't notice that photos were being taken, but that's not entirely true. You definitely notice Christina dancing along to the music, smiling and laughing with guests, and matching the energy the whole night! On top of all this, our photos came out absolutely incredible! We looked more amazing than we ever thought possible and I am so thankful that she captured all of the aspects of the best day of our lives read more

We have just received our wedding photos, and I can't get over how GORGEOUS they all turned out--they are bright and bubbly just like Christina's personality, and we couldn't be happier with our experience with her. We selected Christina for her colorful and vibrant style, her organization and professionalism. She educates you through the whole process, and she's extremely easy to work and communicate with. She's so laid-back, you feel like close friends the instant you meet her. The moments she captured during our engagement session and wedding are perfect, and we will treasure these photos forever! read more

Having witnessed may years of friends' weddings before I finally got hitched myself, I can say without hesitation that my wife and I had the best wedding photographer of them all! Christina collaborated closely with us from start to finish (engagement photos all the way to post-wedding), and vividly captured many amazing moments with us and our friends and family. The final products are visually stunning and can speak for themselves, but what I want others to understand is how fun and easy it was to work with Christina. A few of my family members independently commented on how personable she was and easy to smile for during all the picture-taking. When some of the wedding prep process was stressful for all involved, Christina did not lose her cool or her kind and caring professionalism, and really helped us get through some difficult moments. If you want someone to not only photograph your special experience, but also make it more wonderful by their care and presence, this is the photographer you want. read more

Christina was an amazing photographer and wedding resource from start to finish. She spent the time to get to know us and this made both our engagement photos and wedding photos a breeze with an amazing end product. She is incredibly professional and helpful with all things wedding related as well as friendly to make you and friends and family feel comfortable and relaxed during photos. She really captured so many amazing moments and emotions from our wedding that we wouldn't have seen otherwise being so busy on that day! Can't recommend her enough. read more

If you are in the market for a photographer, you simply can't do better than CMSours Photography. Christina has a way of making you feel entirely at ease while you are taking photos, that even the most camera shy of customers will immediately feel comfortable with her. During the day of my engagement, Christina was willing to get there earlier than planned to scope out the best areas for shots and walk me through some contingency plans in the event the weather didn't cooperate. Having this level of communication and willingness to go above and beyond made me feel like Christina was just as invested in our engagement going smoothly as I was. Afterwards, Christina shared the photos with us super quickly, so we could send them to family and friends who couldn't be there with us. We can't recommend Christina enough - she is highly personable, professional, and her photos make for beautiful treasures that we will cherish forever! read more

Love love love your work! From engagement photos to wedding photos we are over the moon! Not to mention raising the bar on customer service! Thank you for all you hard work and for being you! read more
