I love this little thing called photography. I have been passionate about it for years, and lucky enough to make it my career. I am from a small town in the foothills of North Carolina, some people call it the "boonies" but I call it home. I am proud to say that I am a daughter of the King, and I am redeemed.
I have a four legged nugget, and her name is Oakley. Im married to a pretty awesome guy whose name is Cory and he brought me another four legged nugget in our family named Copper Bean. They pretty much takes up all my free time, between trivia and frequent trips to Lucky Dog (our favorite dog bar) I am a very big people person, even though I may come off a bit awkward! It's just my personality, I live to make people laugh (even at my corny jokes.)
So to all the technical stuff, I specialize in lifestyle photography. From weddings, families, engagements, children, bridals, you name it and I pretty much do it! I love to travel, so I am always up for anything! So please, ask me any further information you need to know, I would be happy to answer! And I look forward to meeting all your photography needs!

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Christan!! From the very beginning, Christan has been extremely communicative and professional leading up to our engagement session at The Biltmore Estate in Asheville. It was the first time my fiance and I had visited the estate and Christan made us feel at ease and took us around to all the best photo opp spots. She was very helpful in guiding us through different poses (we needed a lot of help) and truly captured our love for each other beautifully. Christan is extremely talented and brought our vision to life, better than we could have imagined! We will be forever grateful that we chose to work with Christan and can’t wait to book more sessions with her to capture all different stages of our lives!!!”
Kayla Matthews
“We got to have Christan shoot our wedding day in March and she was amazing all around! Her communication is top tier, she is so easy work with, makes you feel so comfortable, and captured stunning photos we will get to look back on forever! To say we are grateful we went with her is an understatement!”
Margaret Plonk Freeman
“Christan is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet! She is the best photographer that wants to make all your dreams come true! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer!”
Natalie Allen
“Christan did our newborn shoot and christmas photos for 2024. We couldnt have been happier with the outcome. She was so patient with our two littles and left us wanting to do more photoshoots with her.”
Alanna Cohen
“We couldn't be happier with our choice of photographer for our wedding day! From the moment we met over the phone,Christan made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. We never met her in person until the day of our wedding but she came in arms wide open like we’ve known her for years. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most intimate and joyful moments was truly remarkable. Thank you for making our special day even more magical!”
Ashlee Wagner
“Christan has photographed our family multiple times and is simply the best! She is engaging with our kids and helps to capture memories that we'll treasure forever. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those with kiddos!”
Miranda Clark
“Where do I begin. Working with Christan as my wedding photographer was a blessing. She made me feel so comfortable and gave clear instructions on how to pose and what she was trying to capture. It felt so natural. Most the time I didn't even realize she was there, but the photos showed that she was there, and everywhere! She knew that I loved the beauty of the property at Brown Mountain Beach Resort, so she made the efforts to go around and capture photos of the area so that I can re live it forever. She asked me for a list of things I wanted to ensure that she get photos taken of she nailed it. Even with the busy moments of the day, she ensured to get all of those details on top of everything else. Even though I had an amazing wedding planner, she wasn't able to be with me every second of the day. The times when my wedding planner was busy, Christan was my girl, she was more than just my photographer that day. If you want someone to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and bring life and beauty to your photos, Christan Allen Photography is your person!”
