About Saved By Grace

Wedding photographer

Meet Christina

Hey sweet friend,  I'm Christina-wife to my cowboy Jeff, mama to our incredible sons who we adopted in 2021, and the storyteller behind Saved By Grace Photography.

At my core, I'm a woman who believes in love that lasts, moments that matter, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.  I fell in love with photography the way most good stories begin - slowly, intentionally, and all at once.  What started as a way to hold onto fleeting moments quickly became my life's calling: to capture love stories that are raw, joyful, and rooted in connection.

I serve brides who aren't just dreaming of a picture-perfect wedding day - but of a beautiful, enduring marriage.  My favorite couples are the ones who light up when they talk about their vows, who get teary thinking about dancing with their dads, and who care less about a flawless pinterest wedding and more about the sacredness of the "I do".  

When I'm not chasing golden hour or fluffing veils, I'm soaking in life on our little family farm - adventuring with my boys and dreaming big with my husband about our future.  One day, we hope to turn a grand old farmhouse into a bed and breakfast - a warm, welcoming space where loves stories continue to unfold, maybe even with a few intimate weddings in the backyard.

I believe in grace over perfection, real laughter over forced smiles, and images that feel like a hug from your favorite person.  Whether it's the tear in your groom's eye or the way your grandma holds your hand, I'm there for the in-between moments - the ones that don't just make pretty pictures, but tell the truth of your love. 

So if you're planning a wedding that's full of meaning and heart, and you're looking for a photographer who gets it - who sees the beauty in marriage, not just the event - I'd be honored to be a part of your story. 

Let's make something timeless, together.

With grace and gratitude,
Christina

My greatest adventure is my family

My Story

My greatest adventure is my family. My husband and I were married in 2006.  It would take 8 years for us to find out we were pregnant. The week of our 8 year anniversary we learned we were expecting.  But our joy was short-lived, as we experienced miscarriage. Over the years. we faced heartbreak again with another miscarriage and countless moments of disappointment with negative test results.  After a few years of seeing infertility specialists, we reached a place where we thought we would grow old together, just the two of us.  But God had other plans.













In HIs own way, He led us to fostering.  Our second placement as foster parents would eventually become the children we were meant to have.We began fostering them in 2018, and after three years of love and growth, we officially became a family of 4 in 2021.  Our children are without a doubt, our greatest adventure, and they are the driving force behind everything I do. 















For me, photography is a way to capture life's fleeting moments and celebrate the beauty in our every day adventures.  It's about telling the stories of family, love, and legacy.  My journey began while I was working as a nanny for a little boy battling cancer.  That experience deeply shaped how I view time and the importance of holing on to every precious moment.  It's a perspective that continues to guide both my work and my life as an mother., missing out on moments before I knew them.  This is the foundation in which I've built my business.  Documenting life and all its beauty.


VIEW THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE

Working with Christina was a dream! She constantly made me feel she was just as in love and excited about my wedding and the little details as I was. She was always quick to respond to every little question I had. She was like a personal cheer leader and made my entire family and wedding party feel so comfortable with having their picture taken. I'm so thankful for her and the love she captured for me and my husband.  - Therin & Autu,mn
