Kiss the Camera bio picture
  • Greetings, from Christine!

    Hi & thanks for visiting my site!
    I launched Kiss the Camera in 2006 after a family-friend asked me to photograph her wedding. The joy I experienced capturing the love and the laughter of her special day convinced me I had found my calling.

    Wedding Photography is so much more than a job to me. It is a privilege every time my camera and I are welcomed into your life.

    Thanks for letting me share my work with you,
    Christine Valenzuela

Sarah & Jay’s Wedding at Four Seasons Troon in Scottsdale, AZ

I’m back from my Wedding/Honeymoon…and am officially married!  I haven’t been happier in a long time.  Thanks so much to all of you for being so patient with me as I was away from my office and had limited access to my email.  I really appreciate it!  I’m looking forward to talking with all of you soon!

And now, a very long overdue post. :)  I’m excited to finally have the chance to post photos from Sarah and Jay’s wedding at the Four Seasons Troon resort in Scottsdale.

I was very honored when Sarah asked me to photograph her wedding.  She’s a hairdresser at Sachi salon in Scottsdale and right from the first time I met her we instantly connected.  The funniest thing was that I actually found her by using Yelp.  She had so many wonderful reviews I just had to try her!  I’m so glad I did.  Not only is she a great hairstylist, she is such a warm and genuine person.

Here are my favorites from her beautiful wedding…

Sarah was kind enough to leave give me this rave review:

“Christine at Kiss the Camera was an amazing wedding photographer!! All the way through, she was extremely professional, friendly, on-top of things. The actual day of the wedding she was amazing, she was so pleasant to work with, my whole family mentioned how great she was, and so did my friends! She organized everyone very well and worked quickly (I had a lot of kids in the wedding), and remained very patient and upbeat. She stayed in the background during the dinner and dance reception, capturing SO many great, candid moments. I think that capturing those great candid moments is the true art of photography and I was extremely pleased! We have so many great pictures from the evening, it is really hard to choose which ones to put in the album. I will definitely recommend her; don’t look anywhere else!”

I’m on my Honeymoon!

Hello Everyone!

This is just a quick note to let you know that I’m currently out of the country on my Honeymoon until July 6th.

I will not have access to my voicemail, but I will still periodically check email and form submissions.

Looking forward to talking with you when I return!

Love,

Christine

Michelle & Eric’s Wedding at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale

From the moment I met Michelle and her family, I knew I was going to be a part of a spectacular wedding.  Her mother and sisters were a joy to be around and I started looking forward to her wedding after our initial client meeting.

On her wedding day, I arrived at McCormick Ranch just minutes before her arrival.  It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I enjoyed every minute of it, documenting Michelle and Eric’s first day as husband and wife.

Here are some of my favorite images.

The first look.  Eric was blown away by her beauty.

Michelle surprised Eric with fireworks.  It was fantastic!

Michelle & Eric, thanks for making me a part of your wedding day!  It was a joy and an honor capturing so many wonderful moments for you!  Also, a special thank you to Kelvin from Kelvin Photography for second shooting with me.
