Brett and Emily Married at a Mountain || Bear Creek Mountain Resort, Macungie, PA

September 15, 2017 by Christine Tustin in 2017 Weddings, Fall Wedding, wedding

It was the perfect temperature all day long as the clouds came and went. The vows were funny and sweet. The moods were high all around. The dancing was ridiculous and incredible. I’m strongly considering requesting there be a mosh-pit at all future weddings. The day was perfect.

Modern Romance Jungle Bridal Styled Shoot || San Diego, CA

August 21, 2017 by Christine Tustin in styled shoot

Summer always reminds me of tropical and jungle vibes. Some people think desert - but my mind wanders to tree covered rain forests, exotic palms, and waterfalls. Being an east coast raised girl I've always been more partial to humid, lush, green environments.

Modern Boho Nursery with a Punch of Tropics || Kith & Kin 

July 24, 2017 by Christine Tustin

When I originally envisioned our daughters nursery, I knew I was going for some kind of a minimalist and boho blend. I had always loved the idea of plants in there and lots of white. I didn't want a generic baby theme. In fact, I wanted a style that could be easily changed with decor. Aside from plants and a very simple base color palate, one detail that was really important to me to have in her room were copies of the vows Brian and I said to each other on our wedding day.

How to Nail Your Engagement Session || Notes from Behind the Camera

July 17, 2017 by Christine Tustin in Engagement, San Diego, wedding

When you're not used to being in front of a camera other than an iPhone or maybe even at all, a photography session may seem pretty intimidating. I wouldn't expect you to know what you're doing or feel comfortable "modeling," because chances are you don't do that for a living. When you're comfortable in your surroundings that takes at least one scary factor out of this equation. When you're comfortable, you're more you.

May 30, 2017 by Christine Tustin

Do you ever wonder how time slips by so quickly and yet there are days that seem to never end? Time is such a funny thing that seems to stretch or change speed, yet it's one of the most constant things we have. I can't believe a year has already come and gone from this little one's birth. Everly just turned one this May and she couldn't be any cuter!

Rachel and Mike Engagement Session || Ocean Beach, San Diego

January 19, 2017 by Christine Tustin in wedding

Some of my favorite parts of any session are not necessarily when I'm shooting, but when I'm walking with the couple. These are the moments when I get to just talk to them, ask more about them, and laugh with them. I get to know them and they get to know me. I'm not there to just take some cool photos and then leave, I like to invest myself into each couple I meet and work with and form a relationship with them. I want to learn your story and I want to try and capture it as beautifully as you tell it and have experienced it.

Hannah and Hart || Sacramento, CA Wedding Fiesta

October 21, 2016 by Christine Tustin in wedding

Friends, let me tell you-- this Sacramento wedding fiesta did not disappoint. Tucked away on a winding road in Newcastle, CA is the gorgeous barn the wedding took place. The minute you walk in, the smell of cedar greets your nose and on this day music and laughter met your ears. The girls were getting ready in the loft upstairs and before I even reached them I could feel the excitement.

Blake and Jessica are Married! || Sterlingbrook Farm - Pittstown, NJ Wedding

September 24, 2016 by Christine Tustin in wedding

September weddings in New Jersey might be my new favorite. Driving through what once were very familiar tree covered roads and looking at the leaves just start to turn - I was reminded of all the beauty that I was fortunate to grow up with.
