My philosophy

INTENTION IN EVERY FRAME, TRUTH IN EVERY MOMENT

Bride in a white satin wedding gown adjusting her white pointed heel while seated, with wavy blonde hair framing her face.

Refinement has always been the heart of this brand. Not perfection, but intention. We build every frame with an editorial eye, then step back and let your day unfold, because the moments that matter most are never the ones we asked for. Editorial meets documentary. One brings the craft. The other brings the truth.

REVIEWS

"One word, AMAZING! We have had Christiam do our newborn/family photos three times now and each time he has done such a good job. Over the years he has dealt with crying kids, cold weather, wildfire smoke, the works! Despite all that and more he always makes the time fun and relaxed and somehow always ends up with amazing photos! 10/10 would recommend for any kind of photo shoot you’re needing!"

BERGERON FAMILY

"Literally the best in the business. I’ve worked with CJ multiple times now. Everything he does is NEXT. LEVEL. As a Wedding DJ, I’ve worked with him as a coordinator. He’s everywhere, all at once, ALL DAY! He pays extreme attention to detail, and he’s very efficient. He can lead direction in a room and communicate one on one exceptionally well.


He ALSO photographed our wedding! As a GROOM, CJ made me feel on top of the world. He’s everywhere all at once! Making you feel comfortable in your own skin, which is something I was nervous about. The photo editing skills are next to none and honestly you’ve found your guy. CJ all the WAY! 🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼"

"CJ photographed both our engagement and wedding, and we could not be happier with his work.


He was professional, creative, accommodating, punctual, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. His experience helped guide us through the process, manage expectations, and keep everything running smoothly.


We had a short window for photos on our wedding day, but CJ moved quickly, captured every shot we wanted, and kept us on schedule without making anything feel rushed. When we got the photos back, we were amazed by how many candid moments and small details he had captured without us even realizing he was there.


CJ genuinely cared about getting everything right, and is a true professional, and we are extremely glad we chose him. We highly recommend him to everyone."

KYLE + CARMELLA

"My husband and I LOVED our experience with Christiam! He was so professional, kind, hard-working and had amazing ideas for photos! He was very calm during the wedding day, which is exactly what I needed with my wedding day jitters. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and they both turned out STUNNING! 1000/10 recommend for any of your photography needs."

CALEB + ARIANNA

"We had Refined to Redefine Creative photograph our wedding and I would 100% do it all again! I've already suggested them to friends searching for a photographer. Christiam did such an incredible job, and I truly love our photos. 💕 He made us feel so comfortable and just went above and beyond in everything! We have such wonderful keepsakes from the wedding that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much!"

"Christiam was such a key player in our wedding! He asked all the right questions and made sure that everything was ready well in advance so we could fully enjoy our wedding day. It was clear to us that he loves what he does and that he deeply cared about our experience and our needs. He went out of his way to connect us to videographers, contact different vendors and ensure all was ready to go. We are so thankful for his contribution and we are so amazed by how the photos turned out! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and experience as a whole. Thank you Christiam!!"

ANTON + TAYLOR

"Christiam did an amazing job capturing our proposal! He was friendly and easy to work with every step of the way. We love our photos and I’m glad I chose Christiam to capture our special moment!"

SETH + ANESHA

Christiam was extremely professional, kind, and easy to work with. Prior to the shoot he communicated all the necessary details, which greatly prepared me for my time in the studio. His creativity was top notch and got some really cool poses/ different lightings incorporated into the shoot. He is a very clear communicator which made him excellent to work with during the shoot as I never questioned what he was looking for. The studio space that he chose was such a vibe and totally fit the aesthetic of the shoot. Overall I couldn’t have been happier with my experience at Redefine Creative and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top quality photographer who genuinely cares about the customer experience!
