Amazing work and professional team!

Kristen is incredible! She photographed our wedding, day after shoot and engagement shoot! Not only is her work amazing and something you will treasure forever, she is GREAT with communication, always answered any text or question I had! You can tell she has shot many weddings, she handled everything so well and everyone, including our crazy family and large bridal party. We love Kristen and love that she travels to wherever we need her!! HIGHLY Recommend!

Kristen Beinke is an AMAZING photographer and our wedding would not have been the same without her! She went above and beyond for us! We were so happy with all of the photos she shot of us with her team for both our engagement session and our wedding day. They couldn’t have turned out better! The lighting in her photography is gorgeous and she really takes the time to check it in each location to make every photo its best. She’s also really detail oriented, even if it means moving furniture around or staging backgrounds before taking each photo, which we really appreciated. Choosing a wedding photographer at first had us nervous because we knew our wedding photos would be one of the only keepsakes of the day that would truly last. It was really important to us that we found someone detail oriented with an amazing eye for design and photography. Kristen ended up being the best decision we made for our wedding and looking back now, we’re so glad we went with her. She definitely has a clear vision and we felt we were in great hands the entire time. We received so many compliments about her from our family and friends, and when we got our photos, we had such a hard time choosing our favorite ones because we love them all so much.

Kristen is not only an amazing photographer but she is also very personable and friendly. We felt like we became instant friends with her the moment we met her. It was such a pleasure to have her with us on our special day and overall we can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Kristen! You are seriously the best!!

We LOVED our wedding photos!! Kristen and her team did an amazing job. She captured the day perfectly, we have looked through our photos a million times in order to relive our special day! Her use of color and lighting made the pictures really stand out. Not to mention she is great to work with, kind considerate and professional. Couldn't be happier!

We loved Kristen's portfolio. She captures just the right moments to show the emotion at your event. She has a fantastic eye and makes gentle suggestions about slight adjustments that make a huge difference in your photos (she rolled up a rug in our bridal suite so we didn't have all our "getting ready" shots on a hideous zebra print carpet that I hadn't even noticed). Aside from the photos, Kristen is such a kind, calm person. She's exactly the kind of person you want to have around on your special day.

Kristen photographed our wedding last year and did an amazing job. She was so fun and made us feel like we were working with a friend. It took me months to pick the pictures that would make it into our wedding album, because they were all so beautiful. I would highly recommend her and I hope we get to work with her again in the future.

We absolutely loved working with Kristen. From the very start we knew that she was perfect. We met with several other photographers in the area and as soon as we sat down with Kristen we saw her pictures were above all others. Planning a wedding out of state has its challenges, and Kristen would answer every question very quickly. She doubled as my wedding planner and everything she recommended turned out wonderful as well! It was like working with a friend the day of, and helped us relax. The pictures turned out beautiful and I would recommend her to everyone!! Thanks Kristen!
