Kirsten was phenomenal! She was so kind and funny and incredibly talented. We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our wedding day.

I cannot speak highly enough about Kirsten's professionalism and the quality of her work. I could not imagine a better photographer! Kirsten is truly the best at what she does and beyond talented. She perfectly captured every little moment and every little detail of our wedding. We had a large wedding party (18 people total) and I was worried about organizing everyone for the group pictures, but Kirsten immediately relieved any worries about that. She was quick, efficient, organized and made the experience so much fun for everyone involved-even those who didn't like getting their pictures taken! Kirsten was super flexible when scheduling engagement photos and could always be reached whenever I had any questions throughout the wedding planning process. I love my engagement/wedding pictures and I can't wait to hire Kirsten for other events in our lives!

Kirsten was wonderful from start to finish!
Our engagement session was fantastic. She traveled to Akron to shoot at Stan Hywet (where we got engaged) on relatively short notice, made us so comfortable through our entire session, and took absolutely beautiful photos. It was so fun to be so relaxed throughout our engagement photos and to hear Kirsten giggling and squealing behind the camera when we knew she was capturing something awesome. We got such a great mix of photos in an online gallery (traditional portraits for family and the newspaper announcement, fun and artsy ones for the walls, etc.), and we were so excited to use them on our save the dates, engagement gift thank yous, shower invites, shower thank yous, and guest book.
Planning our wedding with Kirsten couldn't have been easier. We picked our package, completed a form of our must haves, sent our incredibly reasonable deposit, and that was it! Our wedding day went so smoothly. Kirsten came to take photos of the girls getting ready while the second photographer went to take photos of the guys and the church. Both photographers were so well organized, thorough, thoughtful, and sweet. They spent 10 hours with us throughout the day. Again, we received so many incredible photos (this time on a USB) - posed, candid, bridal party, family friends, etc. We've had so much fun giving them as gifts, working on our wedding album, and deciding what we'll hang on our walls!
It was a true joy to work with Kirsten Pesa Photography, and I'd recommend Kirsten to anyone.

My Biggest Regret

Even though our wedding was in 2020, my biggest regret was hiring Kirsten to be our photographer. The poor quality and low quantity of photos makes me sick to my stomach. It’s taken me a long time to leave this review because I’m crushed. The photographic memories of my special day are completely ruined.

We were excited to have Kirsten and another one of her photographers come since we were going to get more angles and shots! However, there was barely any directions and she made my face look unattractive. Other pictures from friends and family were so much better. She did not take a good straight on picture of me and my husband. I don’t love any of the photos she took.

During the reception, Kirsten and her assistant photographer were mostly just hanging out and talking. There were only a few pictures of people dancing, absolutely none of the food or gorgeous table settings. When I asked her what happened during the reception causing her to have very little photos, she did not reply. She left early because it was her contracted hours (understandably), but we shouldn’t have paid her for the time she hung out and did nothing at the reception.

I’m absolutely heartbroken. Take my advice and do not let her ruin your wedding photos too!
