Kirsten Getz Photography

Kirsten was absolutely fabulous. She has a terrific eye, an easy personality, and a totally professional operation. All through our wedding day, Kirsten was everywhere and nowhere -- meaning she caught some amazing moments while being completely unobtrusive. I also have a few folks who are awkward in front of a camera and she knew how to put them at ease so the shots look natural.

I love the engagement photo session that she offers as part of the package. It was a great opportunity for us to get to know each other a bit before the big day; it was assuring to know that we were delighted with our photographer going into the wedding day itself. One less thing to worry about!

I would definitely hire her again. So glad we found her!!

We have so many amazing things to say about our experience with Kirsten. Tl;dr go book her right now :) Kirsten is not just an amazing photographer but also a gem of a human.
We originally looked at a lot of photographers with “light and airy” style but realized a lot of times the backgrounds of those photos look overly edited, and we didn’t want to lose the natural beauty of our wedding venue. Kirsten's style perfectly captured the setting of both our engagement & wedding pictures.
When we interviewed Kirsten, we felt by the end of it that she could be a friend! That was really important to us because we wanted to be comfortable in front of the camera.
Kirsten was SUPER helpful in coming up with a day-of timeline. She is one of those professionals that is so good that you don’t even need to hire a wedding coordinator. For example, she was able to rearrange our order of pictures on the fly based on how the evening was going. On the day of the wedding, she kept us on time without making us feel rushed! She helped us coordinate our first look, sunset photos, and offered great suggestions for engagement photos.
Both Kirsten and her second shooter had a great eye for creative shots. It doesn’t seem to matter where they are. They handled a venue they had never even seen before so smoothly. Just like we had hoped, they captured action shots, emotion, dancing, and the grandeur of the nature and space we were in.
Kirsten also made it easy to coordinate from 3,000 miles away. We had to fly across the country for our engagement photos, and Kirsten had the flexibility and quick communication to make sure we could coordinate those on a trip we had already planned to the east coast. However, she is also willing to travel wherever you want to take photos! She is adventurous and was super down for the hike we chose for our engagement photos.
Would hire again in a heartbeat!

Kirsten is AMAZING! If you’re here, you can already see that she has a fantastic eye and takes stunning photos. Her candid shots of joyous moments, and the way she beautifully captures natural scenery as well as people, were some of her talents that initially brought us to her.

What you can’t tell from the photos is how wonderful she is to work with. My partner and I are not the most natural in front of the camera (read – very awkward), but Kirsten knew just what to say to put us at ease and make us look great. We got to know her first at our engagement shoot, which was included in our wedding package at no extra charge. She drove all the way from Frostburg to Sugarloaf Mountain and hiked up with us for some beautiful sunset shots.

She was of course awesome at the wedding as well. We had a very complex wedding including two ceremonies, two receptions, and various family portraits scattered throughout the day. She knew where she had to be for every shot better than we did! Again, she was just a delight to work with, super flexible and great company for a couple of nervous newlyweds. We love how she’d think of a new shot on the spot and make it happen – in fact I think some of the best photos are the spontaneous ones!

Since Kirsten is fantastic it is not surprising that she works with fantastic people as well. Her second photographer, Patrick, was every bit as great to work with. He was in charge of a lot of the groom + groomsman photos so as the groom, I spent a good amount of time with him. I was pretty anxious about how the day would go, but his easy-going manner really helped calm my nerves.

We cannot recommend Kirsten (and Patrick) highly enough! We haven’t even received all of our photos yet, but the few that we have previewed so beautifully captured the love we felt on our wedding day that they alone were worth the investment. We cannot wait to see the rest of the portfolio when the time comes!
