About Christy Renee
Refined Wedding & Underwater Photography in Coastal Destinations
Hi, hi - I’m Christy!
I’M A destination wedding photographer with a deep love for connection and raw imagery
“Its more important to click with people, than it is to click the shutter” - Alfred Eisenstaedt
For me, it’s always been about more than photographing what something looked like. Your grandma can get an iPhone shot of that. Honestly, your photos should instantly remind you of how it felt to be there, to be in your shoes, and a fly on the wall.
Over the past 11 years, I’ve photographed weddings up and down the east coast. Although I’m drawn to places where light & water connect- Its more important to connect and build trust with YOU, the client. The Florida Keys, in particular, offers a vibrant beauty that invites people to slow down, be present, and connect more deeply—and that’s where I thrive.
My approach blends a refined, editorial eye with an intuitive, documentary perspective with years of experience. I’m not swayed by the last minute need to shift directions or timeline. I’m always aware of the subtle in-between moments—while also knowing when I’m needed to step in and guide so everything feels effortless and considered.
If you feel drawn to connection over posing and imagery that feels true to you, I invite you to reach out and begin the conversation!
Let me start off by saying that Christy Renee is absolutely amazing! My fiance and I were searching for a photographer at the very beginning of our wedding planning journey. No one compared to Christy Renee!

What it’s like to work with me :
You’re in really good hands—like, take-a-deep-breath-and-enjoy-your-day kind of hands.
With over a decade of wedding experience, I’ve learned how to move through a day that’s equal parts beautiful, emotional, and a little bit unpredictable. I know when to step in, when to step back, and how to keep things flowing without you ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
I bring a mix of joyful, grounded energy and just the right amount of goofy—so if you’re feeling a little nervous in front of the camera, don’t worry… that usually lasts about five minutes. I’ve got you.
I’m always paying attention—to the light, the timing, the in-between moments—while making sure you feel comfortable and confident with me and my team.
And when we’re near or in the water, that level of care goes even deeper. Everything is thoughtfully planned and guided so you can relax, trust the process, and maybe even have a little fun with it.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: give you an experience where you’ll walk away with a permanent smile on your face and golden memories in the bank.
