Krista was incredible and an absolute dream to work with! I fell in love with her work on her website immediately. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made!

Photos: Krista is a true artist. Krista got photos that exceeded my highest expectations. She got candid photos that captured the every emotion of the day. She knew all the right angles, used lighting to her advantage, and got the BEST family portrait of my Husband and I with our dog. She got candid portraits of us and our guests that I will treasure forever.

Hiring: I first worked with her over email and phone. We then met in person and she brought product examples and was incredibly professional and personable. We told her what we were looking for both for price and services. Krista put together the perfect package for us and kept it on budget. She was always very prompt in responding to questions and we got along with her immediately.

Planning: Krista knows EXACTLY what she is going when it comes to planing the photos schedule for your wedding. She provided us a comprehensive form that went through the timeline, and made it easy to decide what photos we wanted. Any time I had any questions, Krista would be right there to answer and collect information that would help us decide exactly what we wanted. Once I filled it all out and about one week or so before the wedding, Krista went through the entire form with me to make sure she knew exactly what I was looking for and what I needed.

Wedding Day!: Krista is a bride whisperer. She was so reassuring and calming. My stress faded and I trusted her and her awesome assistant completely. Krista was such a pro!!! She and her assistant, Corey, got all the photos I wanted and more. She checked in throughout the reception, was creative, and captured all the moments! We had multiple wedding guests tell us during and after the wedding how incredible, talented, and professional Krista was during the entire process.

Thank you very much for making our wedding day so special, and for working with us on our wonderful pictures. Everything about your attitude and bearing showed how professional you are, while remaining very fun and upbeat through the entire process. We are so happy with the results and had so much fun sharing them with friends and family members. We've had so many compliments on our photos, and we've been recommending you to anyone who asks!

Thank you once again for making our wedding pictures so amazing and fun. The entire process will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

If you want standard, prom photos...look elsewhere. What you WILL get with Artessa is an artistic, beautiful and unique set of photos. Krista is crazy talented and we are SO happy she documented our wedding and engagement. Incredible eye for the perfect shot with an ability to seamlessly incorporate the landscape. Love, love, LOVED Krista and Artessa!!!!

Krista is an amazing photographer and a great "pose coach". She has an eye for capturing romantic shots and made our wedding day look like it could be featured in a magazine. Krista is a joy to work with and was very responsive to our picture requests. We absolutely love our pictures and have received numerous compliments about them.

Krista was fantastic throughout the whole wedding process. She met us in Estes Park while we were in town planning the wedding to take engagement pictures. They were absolutely beautiful. At the wedding, several guests commented that she was always in the right place at the right time. She was very quick to respond to emails and was always available to answer our questions. We very highly recommend Artessa Photography.

We are so thrilled that we found Artessa! Krista is amazingly talented. She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and she exceeded all of our expectations.

She was professional and reliable in all ways. From replying to emails, checking in on final arrangements, speaking to us on the phone and returning messages, she was perfectly responsive and attentive.

During our shoots, she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she coached us through the photo sessions in a way that helped bring out our best features, and capture how we feel about each other. She has a great eye for light and composition, and she takes beautiful photos. Her post-photo processing skills are also amazing. She has a talent for turning regular photos into really artistic pictures.

After the wedding, she stuck to her promised timeline, and created a slideshow that was set to music within 4 weeks, which was fun to share with family and friends while we awaited the finals. A few days later she had a link to her online photo gallery for us with over 1,000 photos, and a large proportion of the photos are frame-worthy. It is going to be really hard to pick which pictures to put in our album and which to print, because there are so many beautiful contenders!

She totally captured the romance and joy in our perfect day. I strongly recommend Krista at Artessa to photograph your wedding.

I have never felt so moved by photography until I saw Krista's work. It is a must see. The color, depictive images and eye she has will make you wonder how she does it. Krista is such a wonderful, kind hearted person. She helped me get ready, locate people during my wedding day, ran around to ease my stress level, definitely things not under a photographer's job. It was like having another family member around. Her assistant Chris was absolutely phenomenal! These two have captured images that my husband and I love to show friends, and cannot wait to show our future children.

Krista was amazing to work with as always. From our initial contact, to engagement photos, and on the day of our wedding she made it such a great experience. Her professionalism and eye for photography is truly amazing. Krista takes fantastic photos as well as knows when to capture the best shots. I knew going into the wedding that she would be able to take care of things that needed to be done as well as knew where she needed to be and when. I would recommend Krista to anyone for any type of photos that you are needing.

Krista is quite simply the most talented photographer I have ever encountered. Her use of light and emotion is extraordinary, and for weddings and special occasions, this elevates her work to a level higher than other photographers. I would strongly recommend her talent for your wedding. The cost are high, but in the end, the photos are what you have tangible and are so very important, so I feel it's very worth it.

Krista with Artessa Photography is AMAZING!!! In all sincerity, if you want THE perfect pictures for your wedding, Krista is the person you want to work with! I cannot tell you how many friends, families, & strangers gush at how gorgeous our pictures are.. Krista truly approaches her work as artistry & her photos are the best I've seen.. I'm not sure of her website, but I encourage you to google her to see samples of her work.. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it :)
