About
HI, I’M KIRSTEN
A Tahoe wedding photographer who’s always game to cake mud in my boots in pursuit of epic, emotive images.
Ever since my days in the highschool darkroom, I’ve been enamored with the power images have to tell a compelling story. I went on to study photography and fashion at Savannah College of Art & Design and worked as an editor for a studio before founding Kirsten Marie Photography in 2012. Every day since, and I’ve fallen deeper in love with the art of wedding photography—there’s just nothing quite as fascinating and fulfilling as documenting the tenderness weddings bring out in people.
As someone who’s fairly spotlight-shy, I know how awkward being photographed can feel—which is why I work to bring an atmosphere of ease (and a wicked sharp sense of humor) to our time together. I pour my whole heart into hyping you up, getting you the material you deserve, and making sure you feel comfortable and cared for.
Beyond the lens, I’m a mom to two feisty girls. Translation: there’s no group I can’t wrangle, no mountain I can’t summit, and no trail I can’t traverse. While you’re soaking in sunsets and sipping champagne—you can find me crawling through bushes and traipsing through snowpack to get the best angle…and loving every single second of it
My role as your wedding photographer isn’t just to capture your day—it’s to help you truly live in it. From anticipating your needs and keeping things organized—to directing you toward the best backdrops and lighting—I’m here to provide the partnership you so deserve. Because I believe the most meaningful art is built on a foundation of trust and ease.
Cant wait to hear from you!

Kirsten is a wonderful person first and foremost! When she came to my photography studio to work with us I just knew she was special. It's been awesome watching her style flourish with her own business. I love working with her and so will you.
