New York-based Chrissy Canitano has built a reputation for wedding photography that sits at the intersection of cinematic, editorial and documentary – images that feel both artfully composed and alive. Her work has accordingly been featured in British Vogue, Tatler, Vanity Fair and Glamour, a testament to a visual sensibility that translates equally well on film and digital. Couples describe the experience of working with Chrissy as warm, attentive and without stress. She values romance and genuine emotion above all else – and has a particular gift for light, whether it’s the glow of a candle-lit dinner or sun caught through a veil. She has attended over 35 weddings as a guest, and her instinct for where the real moments happen – and when to be ready for them – shows in every gallery. The result is a selection of images that feel less like a record of the day and more like an easy love letter, with an Old Hollywood quality that makes every frame feel timeless. Available for weddings worldwide, Chrissy brings the same level of care and craft to a destination celebration in Italy as she does to a New York City ceremony.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Chrissy shoot our destination wedding in Italy, as well as our engagement photos in New Jersey, and we truly could not have asked for a better photographer or experience. Chrissy is the perfect balance of professional and personable. She feels like a friend you’ve known your whole life. She has an amazing ability to put everyone at ease, which made both our engagement session and wedding day feel natural, fun, and stress-free. She has an incredible eye for capturing magical, candid moments while still delivering stunning, timeless portraits. Every photo tells a story, and we are completely in love with our gallery. Chrissy exceeded every expectation, we cannot recommend her enough!

My husband and I met Chrissy at our friends’ wedding and absolutely loved her approachable and fun personality. We knew we instantly wanted to book her ourselves and we had not one regret about that decision. Not only is she talented at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she goes beyond expectations by taking care of you (she’s also a great hype girl!). Chrissy is so fun and easy to work with. She asks about you, pays attention to the vibe you want for your pictures and translates it beautifully. My family and friends have approached me since the wedding to compliment Chrissy for her kind and positive attitude. She was truly everything we needed and more. We have not stopped staring at our photos since receiving them! Our photos are so genuine; we couldn’t be happier!
