MEET US

CRISTINA &
CONSTANTIN

Image makers, globe trotters, architecture fiends.

Love, fashion and art drive and inspire our work. Our style blends the authenticity of documentary photography with the dramatic flair of cinema crafting bold, unscripted moments that feel like stills from your favorite film. Every frame we shoot tells your story in a way that’s raw,
emotional, and visually striking.

 
We split our time between our home base of Chicago and the cherished landscapes of our childhood in Europe, offering local (no travel costs) photo collections for select Euro and US locations. 
 
Cristina brings an editor’s eye and a strategist’s mind rooted in finance and marketing, but fluent in light, texture, and story. She’s always experimenting, whether that’s turning indulgent desserts into something secretly healthy or styling her ever-changing city balcony garden.

Obsessed with interiors, forever chasing beauty, and unapologetic about her taste for luxury face creams and good champagne. Constantin is the observer photojournalist, designer, and light-chaser who captures the kind of fleeting moments that feel like memories before they’ve even passed. He’s all about nature, stillness, and the dream of a log cabin escape.

LET'S MAKE SOMETHING

BEAUTIFUL

We don’t follow a formula. We follow the light. The mood. The way you move through the day together.

Every wedding we photograph is shaped by the couple at the center of it: how you laugh together, how your eyes meet across a crowded room, how your people love you. We’re guided by that energy and by the beauty of the day as it unfolds: soft morning light, golden hour glows, candlelit magic. Your dress, your dynamics, the way your guests celebrate you, it all becomes part of the visual language we use to tell your story.

 

Yes, we have a signature style – cinematic, editorial, unscripted, but our real trademark is what each gallery feels like. Nothing forced. Nothing duplicated. Just honest moments elevated by great light and a little bit of magic. It’s our greatest privilege to do this work, and we’d be honored to do it for you.

It’s your story told with the ease of home and the beauty of wherever your heart takes you.

KIND WORDS

CAROLYN & ALEX

Cristina really made our wedding day so special! Leading up to the special day, she really got to know us as a couple. Communication was easy, and she was always available. Looking back, I can’t imagine how we would’ve managed without their experience. From providing the optimal timeline for taking pictures to making sure we were able to include everything we wanted for our wedding day.

We were lucky to have both Cristina and Constantin on our wedding day. They ARE. THE. DREAM. TEAM. It’s clear that they are very talented photographers, and their seamless collaboration really showed in every shot. They really have an eye for composition, and the balance between more formal shots with our family and dramatic shots with my veil blowing in the wind. We are obsessed with our photos. I wish I could print every single picture!

KIND WORDS

ALICIA & MIKE

I don’t really know where to begin. Cristina and Constantin are beyond great. I’m not big into photos but my wife (who is a wedding planner and has worked with them a lot over the years) assured me that they are the best, and she was not lying!

 

They have captured our maternity session, our son’s first pictures, engagement session, everything, all the way up to our wedding day. The way they go about the photos really makes things so easy. They are great with kids and people who hate taking photos, i.e. me. Placement and setting is always to perfection and the end result is usually a wow moment.

 

To be honest I don’t ever consider it even a business transaction anymore. It’s just friends taking photos together.

KIND WORDS

EMILY & MORGAN

Cristina is incredibly talented, kind and fabulous, in short. She is self assured from years of experience and is well versed in handling a plethora of scenarios and situations, which makes you feel instantly at ease and in good hands. Her empathy, compassion, and genuine nature allow her to effortlessly connect with her clients and families – we loved her from the start! She and Constantin work together seamlessly.

 

Cristina has a discerning eye for what works and what doesn’t and is very adept at guiding couples who may be less confident in front of the camera or inexperienced with professional photography, helping with poses while simultaneously creating a playful and natural output that doesn’t look forced.

 

Despite her impressive clientele roster, she makes you feel like a priority in every communication, which we really appreciated throughout the wedding planning process. 

KIND WORDS

KATIE & DILLON

Our entire experience with Cristina was nothing short of amazing. From our initial meeting to discuss photo plans and hear about her extensive experience to the comfort she provided on our wedding day, Cristina has been first-class in every way. Elegant, vibrant, and filled with love – these are just a few adjectives that describe the final pictures from our special day.

 

The level of comfort she instilled in us on our wedding day was priceless, giving us the peace of mind we needed to fully enjoy the moment without any added stress. The array of pictures we received was beyond our expectations.

 

The book Cristina put together for us is absolutely stunning, and we’re thrilled to cherish it forever. Cristina’s attention to detail is unmatched, and her experience and big heart truly shines through. She is the ultimate professional, capturing the best shots while ensuring we felt comfortable and had fun throughout the process. Blown away is an understatement.
