Crista Ekstrand Photo

Christophe’s photography of our wedding day was beyond what we could have imagined! He didn’t just snap shots of our special moments, he captured a beautiful story of our day – from getting ready, to sharing many laughs, to saying “I do”…he managed to capture the details and emotions of our experience in such a way that we’ll remember it forever. We had a small destination wedding on the Napa Valley Wine Train, and we’ve had so many compliments on the photography, we’re just so happy with it all! Not only is Christophe a professional and talented photographer, he was also such a pleasure to work with. He was a very good sport and blended in with our quirky group wonderfully! (he even good-heartedly adopted the nickname “Steve” when our best man couldn’t initially remember his name haha) If we lived closer, we would hire Christophe for all our photography needs! And if we could give more than 5 stars, we definitely would!

Christophe and his team were absolutely phenomenal for both our engagement and wedding photos! From the very beginning, Christophe took the time to get to know us and understand our vision—and he brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. His eye for detail is incredible, and he guided us through every shot so we knew exactly what he was capturing—and the results were stunning! He was also incredibly thoughtful about our time and our guests, offering creative solutions to make sure we could enjoy our day without spending hours away for photos. The final images are breathtaking, capturing not just the location and décor, but our guests and the genuine moments between us. We couldn’t recommend Christophe more highly—his skill, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. If you want photos that truly tell the story of your day, Christophe is the one!

I reached out to Christophe after looking at his portfolio and was blown away by the personable and romantic aspects of his work! I appreciated that he offered a list of possible vineyards he’d recommend and photos he had taken at each, and immediately fell in love with one of them. He was always quick to respond via email. Before committing, he set up a phone call up front, then once I was happy with all of the details, we called another time as we got closer to the proposal, which was reassuring as he is very familiar with the process. We were at Bydand Estates, a property he has worked at many times in the past, and we facilitated with the amazing Sara Vietti. He’s incredibly friendly and mirrored everyone’s excitement. He encouraged us to take in the moments and relax the entire time. And we ended up with some of the most spectacular proposal photos I could have imagined!

Christophe was absolutely incredible —he photographed our engagement, we will cherish these photos forever! He captured beautiful photos of us, our family members, the scene, and more! Christophe was so kind, respectful, and quickly edited all the photos! So impressed with Christophe and his photography! We will definitely use him again!

Christophe was the perfect photographer for our non-traditional wedding photo shoot! Right from the start communication was clear - we aligned on the approach up front which made things smooth on the day. Christophe provided great ideas and was game to go to range of locations that we loved. He was very flexible. He brought a ton of energy and ideas on the day and made it easy to get a number of amazing photos. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. We received all the photos smoothly, in an easy way, on the timelines he shared. We would strongly recommend him!
