Kristen is absolutely amazing. She is talented, sweet and professional. She captured our special day perfectly, despite heavy rain, and we love how our photos turned out!

Kristen was absolutely amazing! From the first time I connected with her over the phone, to our initial meeting, follow up conversations and of course the actual wedding day, she was ON TOP OF IT! She also even helped us with ideas for the day of timeline (as far as photography goes) to make sure we didn't miss any special moments and everything flowed seamlessly.

Kristen was creative with shots, knew how to wrangle our group and captured some absolutely amazing moments. My husband and I cannot say enough nice things about our experience and look forward to seeing more pictures as they arrive!

Thank you Kristen!

Kristen was such a joy to work with, and I couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos! She was great at communicating with me throughout my engagement and so professional and organized the day of the wedding. And, of course, she's so talented and captured everything so beautifully! I would highly recommend her to any couple!

Kristen Cloyd Photography was easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. Kristen was amazing to work with from our very first meeting on through the wedding day and delivery of our pictures. She is friendly, professional, very organized, and makes you feel comfortable with the photography process. She gave great options and advice regarding the timeline for our wedding day and made us feel so at ease while taking pictures, checking in throughout the day to make sure we were feeling ok. The end result was absolutely beautiful. We love our pictures so much and will treasure them forever. I certainly recommend you consider Kristen Cloyd Photography.

There truly aren’t adequate words to express how incredible Kristen is, both professionally and as an individual. They say to “shop around” for a photographer before you choose one, but I’m here to tell you not to risk missing an opportunity to have her on your team by shopping around. If she isn’t available for your date, MOVE YOUR DATE. She is so much more than a photographer. She helps with vendors, timelines, and so much more. I felt like I was hanging out with a longtime friend. Kristen is responsive, professional, kind, and down to earth. I am so thankful we had the joy of meeting her and spending our (mini) wedding day with her. All of the above words and I haven’t even gotten to her photography yet! Her light and airy editing style is so elegant and timeless. I was anxious before the big day and texted her my worries. She went out of her way to ease my mind and work with me throughout photos so that I was comfortable & I know the images will reflect the way I felt. Highly, highly, highly recommend! Best decision we made for our wedding!

Kristen and her team were amazing. We hired her for my daughter's wedding last weekend. Despite it raining and having to move the ceremony and cocktail hour inside, they were so accommodating and she came prepared with umbrellas ( which made for some great photos). She paid close attention to all the details and from our initial look at the pictures, capture some great pictures. She is so pleasant to work with and so his her team. I can highly recommend Kirsten and her team for your wedding photos. She truly loves what she does and it is very apparent in her work product.

I don’t even know where to start! From the moment we met Kristen we knew we HAD to have her as our photographer. We had never taken professional pictures before and we were nervous for our engagement shoot, but she made us feel SO comfortable and made it such a fun and relaxed experience! And somehow, she even made us look like we knew what we were doing! Her husband helped us with our dog so we were able to include him in pictures and that meant so much to us! Kristen’s pictures speak for themselves. She is so incredibly talented and captured our wedding day in such a beautiful, magical way that we will cherish forever! But equally as important, she is SO sweet and wonderful to work with. Even our families and wedding party were talking about how awesome and sweet she was after our wedding! We were so lucky and thankful to have had her as a part of our wedding day!

Kristen is absolutely amazing! We booked with Kristen for our 2020 wedding, which was moved twice and finally happened May 2021. Throughout the entire process of rescheduling, she was supportive and always quick to respond. Leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was SO organized and on top of the wedding day timeline, ensuring we would capture the moments that meant the most to us. Throughout the wedding day, we received numerous compliments on the photographers. Kristen kept our family portraits moving at a steady pace and she was so fun to work with during the bridal party and bride/groom shots. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in the Chicagoland, I strongly recommend booking with Kristen!

Kristen is really the best photographer I could’ve asked for. She was so easy to work with, responsive throughout our entire engagement, and was extremely efficient on the day of (even when it came down to trying to organize 50+ people for family photos at the church)! She is patient and sweet, and that was exactly what we needed day of. And most importantly, her work is amazing! We’ve gotten a few photos back already and I’m so excited to see more!! Thank you to Kristen and Karen!!!

As my husband is REALLY into photography (knows more than the average person), finding a photographer with him was extremely difficult. Kristen however, met and exceeded his and my expectations. We e-mailed a LOT of photographers and finally narrowed it down to just a handful. Kristen instantly won our hearts. Her sweet personality and amazing talent was exactly what we needed to help with our nerves on our wedding day. Kristen was so detail oriented and attentive throughout our whole wedding planning process. We had issues with getting to our engagement shoot, and she was so understanding and compassionate about it. Being a very talented photographer is only one piece to the puzzle of having a great vendor on your wedding day. Kristen and her crew had each and every one of the pieces to make an AMAZING vendor. Her husband and assistant Justin, was so kind and helpful, even a family members commented on how he helped them on the wedding day. Her whole crew went above and beyond what was expected on my wedding day. Kristen showed up 30 minutes before she was expected to and set up in our hotel room. She factored in every detail like lighting and props to get the perfect photo. She even worked a LOT harder than I am to make sure I got a specific photo she knew would be important to me. Kristen just delivered all of my photos and my husband and I are overjoyed with the results. My family all reply with a “WOWWW” when I send them a picture that was taken by her. Kristen was one of my vendors I had full faith in throughout the wedding planning process. If you book Kristen, you truly have nothing to worry about.
