What an awesome experience

Really appreciate all KLK did for us. Paul worked with us to create the unique experience we were looking for and Kristi has such a natural gift. Our pictures will definitely be one of a kind because of them and we are so blessed. Their artistic expression is beyond anything we could’ve hoped or imagined. Really appreciate all you did to capture not only our wedding but our after shoot, as well. They take their profession seriously, have the talent and are just good people to the core. So, so grateful to have found KLK. They will be our photographer for years to come. These are the photographers you will want to use for your wedding. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Thanks guys!

Kristi is not only an amazing photographer but also an all around wonderful person to have by your side on your wedding day. Her and her team worked so hard to capture the best moments of our entire day while also making sure my husband and I were comfortable, happy, and well fed (literally fed us snacks while transitioning throughout our day). We interviewed at least 5 other photographers but we knew after leaving our initial consultation with KLK that they were the perfect fit to add to our top of line team of vendors.
Kristi has an excellent eye for lighting and the picture perfect shots are so unique while capturing genuine feelings in every photo. I highly recommend KLK Photography to anyone wanting great quality pictures that you can look back at years from now and still be in complete awe.

My wife and I absolutely LOVE pictures! We are, for a better term, "picture people" and we are the type to put in the time and effort to take multiple shots until we find that one angle and image that is truly "picture perfect!"

We simply relish these "picture perfect" shots. We are by no means professional photographers but we have a genuine appreciation for the art of photography. The camera is an amazing tool for a photographer to input their own perspective and artistry. I believe the ultimate objective for a photographer is to create images that are beautiful and timelessly memorable!

I have no reservation in recommending Kristi and Paul as photographers who possess the mastery, experience, and most importantly, artistry of the camera to capture and create "picture perfect" photos that you will cherish for a lifetime! They will guide you through the many different poses and stances needed to find that timeless shot. They have so much experience with so many different locations that it seems effortless for them to find the perfect angle or lighting for a shot.

Their website, however, does not do justice in showing just how beautiful and sincere these two are as human beings. The talent and artistry is unquestionable - there's visual evidence you can see for yourself! - but I want to share with you on what a joy it was to work with this amazing couple. Kristi and Paul are just genuinely kind and good people! During our pre-wedding shoot, there was some unfortunate construction going on for one of our planned locations and they offered to bring their cameras another day when the construction is complete to finish the shots! There is a very natural charm and easiness about them and this value is even more highlighted when you are dealing with all of the frenzy and stresses of your wedding day!

Thank you Kristi and Paul for capturing THE "picture perfect" sunset shot of our lives! We are forever grateful to the both of you!

KLK went above and beyond what I ever imagined a wedding photographer to do. Kristi is just an amazing person, always a smile on her face, and all of our guests and family members loved them. We had a lot of requests for specific things and they handled them with grace and ease - it couldn't have been easy as we had to do a lot in a small amount of time. She was super helpful in creating the wedding day timeline and suggesting things that we might want as well (she's the expert!). Also super flexible in all the details, and the type of photos were exactly what we were looking for - I've had multiple people tell me the photos are stunning and unique. Worth every single penny!!! Love!!!

When my husband and I saw our wedding photos we literally were speechless! I mean jaw on the floor kind of speechless. Kristi and Paul Klemens are the sweetest people to work with and their talent and experience is off the charts. They took so many pictures and captured every single moment and detail of our special day. The crazy thing is we had no idea they were even there on our wedding day. But boy when our pictures arrived we realized they definitely were there. They were EVERYWHERE. They don't just take the standard straight forward family pics you see from every wedding. They capture people's facial expressions, the emotion, the reactions. Kristi didn't skip a beat when it came to our picture requests and we had a laundry list and a very large wedding party/wedding. There is nothing she can't handle. A picture is worth a thousand words and we can't say enough about both our wedding and engagement pictures. We have watched them on our tv as a slideshow more times than we can count... while we drink champagne and relive our wedding.

Please take our word for it when we say that you do not need to shop around for a photographer. You can stop now! For any occasion KLK Photography is your one stop shop. But hurry and book fast because they are in super HOT demand! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! TRUST US!!

Forever Fans,
Carmel and Brian Hess

Kristi and Paul were great. My husband is a photo-phobic- he hates to have his picture taken, even though he is very photogenic. Kristi and Paul met us a couple of times to try to make my husband feel comfortable. I really appreciate their efforts and kindness in doing so. Kristi truly is one of the sweetest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Our wedding was in late January at Pelican Hill - ceremony, cocktails and dinner outside, and the party inside. The day of was gorgeous, and they captured it perfectly. I would highly recommend KLK – they are great at getting amazing shots of people, but also the perfect scenery shots to remember such a special day.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Kristi, Paul & the team at KLK. I have known Kristi for a few years now and have worked with her on a couple of photo shoots. Every time that I saw the photos I was absolutely amazed. Once we started to think about vendors for our wedding, Kristi was actually the first person I knew that I wanted to book for our wedding. The KLK team has such an amazing way of making you feel completely comfortable from the first moment they meet you. On the day of the wedding, all of our wedding party absolutely loved working with them as well. I will refer everyone I know to them or to whoever happens to ask about a good photographer.

Kristi and her husband Paul stepped in to photograph our wedding when our original photographer became ill and was unable to work. They even did the wedding pro bono and allowed him to keep the money we had paid him for his medical bills! So right away, they already earned 5 stars from us. But my adoration for them only grew on the day of the wedding. They were perfect. They were incredibly professional and yet also so friendly. It was joy to have them around all day and so much fun to work with. They happily set up and photographed the long list of requests from my family as well as came up with some great original ideas for shots that I loved. The pictures have turned out beautiful and I am so happy with everything. I can't say enough good things about these two!

As my wife and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding the process became quite tedious and challenging. However, we did love the pictures which came out from my good friend's wedding and decided to reach out to her. This was Kristi! What caught our eye was her style and artistry. After our first meeting we hit it off and we felt really comfortable with her. Her husband Paul is great too and they make an awesome combo! The results of both our engagement and wedding photos speak for themselves! A must recommend, please reach out to her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
