Artistry & Authenticity

Key West, Fl Wedding & Portrait Photographer

At Cristina Stoenciu Photography, we believe in capturing the beauty of real moments with a touch of artistry. Our approach revolves around creating authentic photos that are a true reflection of the emotions and essence of the subjects.

Through a neutral lens, we strive to bring out the genuine beauty in every photograph, whether it's a portrait, a wedding scene, or a special event. Our dedication to authenticity shines through in the natural expressions and candid moments we capture.


Capturing moments that will last a life time.

Hi, I’m Cristina

I’m a Key West wedding and elopement photographer, passionate about capturing raw emotion with an editorial twist.

My approach is all about providing couples with a memorable, heartfelt experience through dreamy edits and honest, emotive imagery. My goal is to document your day the way it feels — the laughter, the tears, the quiet in-between moments — so your photos tell the full story of your love.

It’s my hope that the images we create together will one day hang on your walls and serve as timeless reminders of the bond you share.

If you feel we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make your day unforgettable — and create photographs you’ll cherish forever.

  • Cristina did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures. I am seriously obsessed with them and can’t stop looking at them. We had a smaller wedding with about 20 guests but no wedding party. She was so patient taking all of our family photographs and made sure to capture every shot I had requested. Her communication was perfect all the way from the time I booked her services to our wedding day. The photos of my husband and I are STUNNING. While we did do some of the typical posed wedding portraits, she captured so many beautiful candid pictures of us that look like works of art straight out of a magazine!! I can’t even pick out my top five favorites. A picture seriously is worth a thousand words and I will cherish these moments forever!!! Thank you Cristina!!!

  • If I could give Cristina 10 stars I would! She recently captured our maternity shoot in beautiful Islamorada. She was quick to respond, so fun to work with during the shoot (made us feel so comfortable!!), provided a generous sneak peek and got our finally gallery back to us in no time. I would highly highly recommend working with Cristina and we cannot wait to get back to the Keys and have her shoot our whole family :)
