Dream Wedding!

My husband and had a destination wedding in Alaska and are so glad we came across Krista! From our first phone call until we finally met she was so helpful and knowledgeable. I felt like I already knew her by the time it was our wedding day! We had many phone calls between the time we started planning and finally flew into Alaska, any questions I had she was able to help with.
We had a glacier helicopter wedding and she captured everything beautifully. She was so fun to work with and made us feel confident and relaxed. Not only the pictures turned out amazing but the experience itself was amazing and she captured that beauty and excitement that we all felt.
Krista’s husband officiated our ceremony and has a special way with words! It really was so special to have them apart of our day.

Quinceañera photos

I was shopping for a photographer for my oldest daughters quinceañera this summer and was so blessed to have such a stressless response with better than we imagined results. We scheduled short notice meet/greet with my 15 yo daughter and not only planned a preliminary photo shoot, Krista went above and beyond to share her expertise with times for photos and must have moments! Krista is down to earth, humble, fun, and disciplined in what she loves to do. It is such a joy and pleasure to have shared this milestone with her. Krista works from the heart, she went above and beyond on my daughters special day to check in with me to make sure things were going as planned and was available to close caption with her camera on priceless moments. Organized, flexible, entertaining, and precise. I fully trust and recommend Krista with barcstone photography for any event-big or small! Her experience and value in her work extend beyond professional. It feels like I am re-living the intimate treasures of that special day through her art of photography. Thank you Krista!!

A photographer you can trust!

Krista was absolutely upfront and forward with every aspect of our wedding. She not only captured all the amazing moments of our wedding, she even went above and beyond by consoling me when I missed my father’s presence. She made us all laugh and enjoy our day even more. My Joe husband just raves about our photos and he hates having his picture taken! I will be hiring her for all my photo needs! Thank you Krista!

Would recommend 100/10!

Our special day was perfect in every way, better than we ever imagined. From the moment we met with Krista from BarcStone Photography, we knew we were in good hands. She listened attentively to our vision for the photos and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. She was super flexible with working within our budget. Her flexibility in accommodating our specific requests and ensuring our satisfaction was commendable. Our first look and private vows took place at a site that was only accessible through a one hour hike and Krista was down for it. I was amazed by the lengths she took to take our photos even if it meant she had to get a little bit close to a cliff to take our pictures. She was just as adventurous as us. She woke up along with the rest of us to have our wedding ceremony at sunrise! She was super excited to share the photos with us that she even sent us many previews by the end of our wedding night and the following days throughout our honeymoon.

The positive energy and creativity that Krista brought to our wedding photo sessions made it a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. She captured all the special moments with such finesse and artistry, exceeding our expectations. Additionally, the seamless communication and personalized approach she provided truly made us feel valued as clients.

In the end, the beautiful and unique photographs we received from BarcStone Photography are treasures that we will cherish for a lifetime. We are grateful for the dedication and talent she displayed in capturing the essence of our special day so beautifully. Without a doubt, we highly recommend BarcStone Photography to any couple looking for exceptional photography services for their wedding
