hi, I'm Christina

My name is Christina Whittlesey! pronounced a bit like "whittle c." Oregon is home but I also grew up in the Bay Area, Arizona, and lived in Hawaii for a few years. I'm a lover of the ocean, desert, forest, and everything in between. 

Photography has been a love of mine since I can remember and I am thrilled to be able to use my passion to create and connect with you. I've been photographing weddings for four years and haven't looked back. 

​I absolutely love traveling so if you are not located in the PNW, I'm down to travel to your destination of choice.  Before I put down some roots in the PNW, I lived out of my suitcase and decided to travel the world. I ended up traveling to over 40 countries over the course of a few years. I feel so grateful to have seen so much of the world. I love experiencing a new culture and trying a new dish.  

Looking forward to meeting you!

My approach and what it's like working with me

Everyone is so different and I take that into account for each person I photograph. I love to provide you with prompts for movement and a little bit of direction during portraits to help you feel more comfortable. As for the rest of the event, I am more like a fly on the wall, capturing moments as I see them and details of the day. 

I'm a mix of bubbly and calm. If that's your vibe too, I think we'll be a great match.
