The women of Nina Lily Creative are incredibly talented photographers and truly care about all of their clients. When we found out Christina also does celebrant services, it was like we booked a close friend to perform our ceremony. Christina was so invested in our love story and helped us curate a ceremony that truly captured us as a couple. Weddings can be stressful but her guidance through the process was so easy and I looked forward to our check-in meetings! On our wedding day, there were no surprises. Christina led us through our ceremony and took care of sending in the paperwork to make us officially husband and wife. Thank you Christina - I love that you were part of our special day!

Nina is my family nickname.

Hi! I’m Christina, Founder of Nina Lily Photography.

I am YOUR personal historian.

As a Humanist Celebrant and visual storyteller, I’m here to help you create and hold space for what matters most. Whether I’m behind the lens or standing beside you officiating your ceremony, I’m always tuned into the emotion, the beauty, and the realness of your day.

This work is intentional. It’s rooted in care, curiosity, and a deep respect for the stories we carry.

Stories sustain us & hold space for meaning.

We seek the authentic—the laughter, the tears, the quiet joy. And it goes beyond the photographs. As your officiant, I help craft ceremonies that reflect who you are at your core, offering a space where your love meets, in both word and image. Whether you’re eloping in the mountains, gathering with loved ones at a garden venue, or exchanging vows in the quiet of your home, my role is to hold space for your moments—guiding ceremony, documenting, and celebrating alongside you. So you can live the legacy of your love.

From our journal, stories of love & legacy:

  • Rachel & Brian

    "Going into wedding planning, I knew that booking the right photographer was one of the important tasks on my list. I ended up booking with Nina Lily right after we signed the papers at our venue. We wanted to book with photographers that captured natural moments, so that we could cherish them forever. I immediately bonded with Sarah when I met her at a bridal expo. She was a calming presence in a room full of chaos. She explained the way the Nina Lily collective worked and their photo journalism style/approach to pictures. I loved how Sarah made me feel instant comfortable and that they focused on capturing organic moments rather than poses. My husband and I were ecstatic when we learned that Sarah was going to shoot our engagement photos. She kept it light, fun and made for a perfect experience. Flash forward to our wedding day. We had the privilege of working with Christina and Jill. Let me tell you about this dream team… They made us all feel beautiful, comfortable and made the whole experience fun. They joked around with us, allowed us to be playful and captured all of the perfect moments. I’m so excited that we’ll get to look at these photos and recall all of these memories the rest of our lives.

    Thank you so much Christina, Jill and Sarah!"

    "Christina and her team are phenomenal!

    The whole process of working together was amazing. We loved our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Christina is fun and personable. She took the time to really get to know us so that she could truly capture our personalities on the big day. Christina also went the extra mile to get the best shots - I even remember glimpsing her standing on a chair to get the perfect shot of the dance floor! We absolutely loved the photos, and it was so difficult only choosing a hundred or so for the wedding album.

    Thank you for everything Christina and team!"

  • Tess & Brian

    "Nina Lily Photography is truly a team of the most talented photographers!

    We were a Covid wedding with many many changes including a city change, and Christina was so accommodating at every turn. On the day of Christina was more than a photographer she kept the whole day running so smoothly ! The pictures she took truly captured the day so perfectly. Choosing Nina Lily photography was honestly one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. She was so great that now family and friends are using them for their big days!"

  • Laura & Mark

    “Our first look and alone session were my favorite parts of our entire wedding day. I know that was only made possible because of your planning, guidance, and support. I cannot express how thankful I am that we didn’t have to worry about watching the clock, following a map, or logistics. You made the time so wonderful for us.”
