Captured our day perfectly!

Kristen Joy and her assistant photographer perfectly captured our wedding day. They made us feel very comfortable and natural, and the photos highlight so much joy, love, and fun of the day. She was flexible and patient with our detailed shot list. Kristen had sneak peaks to me in less than 24 hours and the full collection of over 1,000 photos in less than a month. I am so thankful to have so many beautiful photos to help us remember the details of our wedding day forever!

Obsessed with my photos

Kristen did an amazing job taking my engagement and wedding photos! I still love looking at them and will forever cherish the precious moments she helped us capture and memorialize forever. She is so professional but also so much fun to work with!

Kristen was creative and professional. She gets genuinely excited about taking pictures and, as a result, the photographs turn out beautifully. She took her time to ensure the lighting was ideal. There were high winds during our wedding and Kristen made the most of it, she even agreed for us to change location to make sure things were perfect. Thank you!

Kristen's talent and customer service are out of this world. Booking an elopement from 1200 miles away was a daunting task - and I took a stab at it by first connecting with Kristen. Her photos online were gorgeous and I thought that if our wedding could be captured half as beautifully, I'd be set. But Kristen was even better after getting to know her and meeting her in person - she was so responsive, kind, and funny, and our photos are worthy of publication. She recommended other local vendors who also delivered amazing service. I feel Kristen was a cornerstone in our elopement going smoothly; and we received more than a photographer - she became our connection to the area, our de facto planner, and most importantly, our friend. Kristen's work speaks for itself - it's pure, ethereal, and there's no cheesiness or glitz so often found in area photographers. We highly recommend Kristen - and thank her for her amazing work.

Kristen is amazing! She did our wedding photos and I couldn't have asked for a better job! She's professional and on time for meetings and events. She took the time to meet with me last minute to help me with photo timelines. She's great to work with! Our session was fun and positive love her! We can't wait to use her for our family shoot!

Kristen was amazing in photographing our las vegas elopement. I was very worried about photography because I am from Chicago, and have never met with her! But she was so wonderful in speaking with her over email and such, I knew we wanted her to be part of our day. Kristen shot the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen. I may be partial, but they look like they could be straight out of a bridal magazine. They are honestly stunning. We received them less than two weeks after the wedding, and I have yet to stop looking at them. Every time, I am more amazed. She really captured how in love my husband and I are. I would recommend her 100 times over.

Kristen created gorgeous photos of our Las Vegas Desert elopement.
As a wedding photographer myself, photography was a priority, and when I saw Kristen's work I fell in love with her style.
Since we came from Canada I didn't have the chance to meet Kristen beforehand, or any of my wedding vendors for that matter, but Kristen was so helpful with advising me on the location and timing for the ceremony and photos, and even with finding other local vendors.
Kristen delivered our photos even sooner than promised, and we couldn't be happier with them.
