It’s so fun to peer inside the space of some of our favorite photographers. Seeing their work featured on the blog shows us their style and technique, but being inside their studio and seeing where they work and what inspires them is a whole other glimpse into the life of a photographer. We had the opportunity to do just that with Christa and Ivy’s adorable studio tour. It’s bright, cheery and airy – a true reflection of their work. Jump in with us!

Any groovy office space is sure to have a few furry friends hanging around… like Christa’s chick, Goldie (seen above). Unfortunately she can’t lay eggs, but is super cute to have around.

It’s exciting to have their combined talents in the wedding world. Ivy’s background is actually in wedding photography and Christa’s bringing her experience from her successful career in commercial photography. Check out more of their bio here. Below, they share what inspires their photography and the vibe they were going for when decorating their studio space.

Our style has a modern, editorial focus, with an emphasis placed on natural light. We love the creative freedom and spontaneous nature that goes into shooting weddings. Capturing those moments that really exemplify the celebratory nature of the day, while also serving as a testament to the singular importance of the occasion.
We strived to keep the space as open and as collaborative as possible, and not stray too far into an office vibe. Our children like to “work” in there with us, so we wanted them to feel welcome and be inspired to look at books or draw. Basically, we wanted it to be calm while fun at the same time. Patterns, textures, and photography surround and inspire the space, and in general, we feel like our studio is a place both of us can come to drink a glass of wine and be creative or do paperwork!
