Kristen was such a dream to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! Her work is incredible, and she captured so many special moments and details from our wedding; it’s been so fun to relive the day through her lens. She’s also just an overall kind and sweet person. You can tell how much she cares about her clients and the work she does. Would 10000% recommend her!!

Everyone should have their wedding photos taken by Kristen! I stumbled upon Maudlin Co. while searching for wedding photographers in our area, and I immediately knew that we needed Kristen to photograph our wedding. My husband and I could clearly see that she was an amazing story teller and artist, and we were drawn to her documentary/photojournalistic style and skill at shooting on film. Her ability to communicate all the emotion of the day, the mood and atmosphere of the venue, and unique moments for the couple and guests was unlike anything we’d seen or thought to expect from wedding photography. Other more traditional photographers we interviewed expressed concern and a level of hesitation at how our pictures would turn out at our outdoor beach front wedding, but not Kristen. In our first meeting, she completely surprised us with her enthusiasm for how the wind and water can improve the shots and reassured us with her experience shooting in all kinds of weather conditions. She literally said, “The beach just makes everything better!” In our engagement photo session and on our wedding day, she made us feel completely comfortable and was so competent at switching back and forth between several cameras. We received our galleries in the timeframe we expected, and were left speechless by how it all turned out. Make sure you add Super 8 to your Collection! It completely transported us back to our day and is a perfect addition to the incredible still film and digital photographs. Thank you for giving us a family heirloom and for preserving our joy and love forever!

Kristen was by far the perfect photographer for our wedding day (s!) When Covid happened, she was so amazing with helping us deal with the stress and was seriously such a gem. She shot our “micro” wedding and our BIG celebration, one year anniversary! Both extremely hot hot days and she was such a pleasure to work with, helping us forget about the heat! Our family and friends loved her and all made a point to mention how wonderful they thought she was. We love our photos from both days so much!! I’m also so obsessed with our wedding album that we will cherish for years to come! I literally can’t say enough good things about her.

We loved working with Kristen of Maudlin Co. for our small wedding. Her photos are gorgeous and captured all the moments and more that we could have hoped for. Her photos provided a unique perspective and special insight into our wedding. We highly recommend her photography.

Kristen was recommended by another vendor (always a good sign!) and we’re so happy we chose her for our engagement and wedding photos.

The photos are truly stunning and nicely curated; each photo felt special and the gallery came together to tell the story of the day. The photos are authentic, candid, and you can tell a true professional was behind the camera. My husband and I are shy when it comes to having our pictures taken, but Kristen made us feel comfortable and it shows in the photos. Additionally, because of COVID, we had to change the venue more than once and Kristen was accommodating with all the changes.

We’re thrilled with the outcome and will cherish these photos for years to come!

It's hard to put into words how much we appreciate Kristen in a few sentences, but here's a quick recap. She is a professional. It can be really hard to figure out what you're investing in from social media and internet reviews when you're planning a wedding but I can assure you Kristen was the best investment. We hired Kristen to shoot our engagement photos in New Mexico and our wedding in Iowa. She was so helpful in planning our engagement shoot and offered really great advice, a timeline for our wedding and she captured us perfectly and didn't force poses so all of the photos really feel like us. Her style of shooting/equipment and her editing is something that can only be done by someone with her level of experience and talent. Plus she's genuinely a cool and fun person! We recommend Kristen to everyone 10/10.

We had such a great experience shooting with Kristen! She captured us perfectly! I will cherish the photos for years to come! Thank you so much for making our photos perfect for us!!

I will admit, at first, I was very intimidated by Kristen’s work, and was afraid to even ask if she would be interested and available to be our photographer.  I thought to myself, “Wow, she does amazing work, and the people and the weddings are so beautiful, there is no way she is going to want to have anything to do with our simple little wedding.” 

Immediately after meeting Kristen in person, she gave me a hug, and all of my fears instantly melted away, as I could tell she was truly a genuine person.  While my husband and I were working with Kristen, we did not get the impression that our simple little wedding was beneath her, or any less important than any other wedding she has photographed.  Plus, she wore Chuck Taylor’s, so I was even more convinced, we had made the right decision!

Kristen’s personality, down to earth approach, and ability to make you feel comfortable, really allows her to capture the most important and intimate moments in your life.  She truly is one of a kind, and has a beautiful soul!

We hired Kristin as our photographer for our wedding in January 2019. Leading up to our engagement session, I was quite a bit nervous since my husband is not the most openly affectionate person. I was super concerned that he was going to be uncomfortable and the pictures weren’t going to look good because of that. Well, from the very start Kristin made us feel so welcome! While shooting, she was super goofy and quirky to get us to loosen up, something which I truly appreciate! We were able to laugh and fool around which led to some amazing candids! Her turn around time was great and I had several people tell us how AMAZING our engagement pictures were! They said they are the best they have ever seen! 😊 Fast forward to our wedding, she continued to capture the most beautiful shots! She was very respectful of the family photos I wanted and caught all of the little details so we can cherish them for years to come! Throughout the whole process, Kristin was very open and communicated well. She was easily accessible, professional, and super helpful! I cannot recommend her enough!

We hired Kristen as our photographer after seeing another wedding she captured at our venue, Salvage One and falling in love with her photos. Prior to booking her for our wedding, we had a super fun engagement session all around downtown Chicago. Both Kristen and her husband are super down to earth, friendly and professional. My husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera but they made us feel at ease and helped us enjoy ourselves in the process. They were also readily available whenever we had questions or concerns leading up to the wedding. We love our wedding pictures and can't look at them without getting emotional. Thank you Kristen and Eric for capturing our special day!!
