Kristen has been in the wedding industry for over 14 years and I’ve wanted her to be my wedding photographer for just as long. Kristen is a true magic maker. Her eye for beauty and her ability to tell a story with every photo she takes is truly a work of art. She has magic in her fingertips. Kristen took a grey and rainy day and made it look warm, colorful and bright. I had a VERY long list of photos I wanted to have taken of people, groups, and details and Kristen and her team got every single one. She kept us on schedule, she eased worries, she made me and my party feel beautiful and she kept us laughing the whole time which resulted in happy, natural photos. Kristen is truly a magic maker and will help capture your day in the most incredible way.

Kristen is THE BEST! From the very first moment my husband were introduced to her and met her, we were impressed and grew eager to work with her. Throughout the entire process, planning for months, from start to finish, Kristen was always accessible, she was very knowledgable and extremely helpful in the process of preparing for our big day. From the moment we met by phone, to the last second of her hard work at the wedding, she was one of the most approachable, friendly, creative, understanding, thoughtful, thorough, personable, professional and encouraging professionals we were most fortunate to encounter. We both felt that we could trust her, and through the process of planning she proved that we could, time and time again! She's the absolute BEST! Her work is the physical proof! I would and will recommend Kristen Leigh photography to anyone and everyone!!!

I'm SO GLAD Kristen was my wedding photographer. She made me feel at ease and natural while prompting me for different "candid" shots.
She got lots of beautiful detail shots, and so many fun shots of everyone interacting. She made our photos look BEAUTIFUL even in front of a drab building. I'm so excited to get different photos printed, and to have these shots for the rest of my life.
While we drove out of the venue after our send-off, we saw her husband pulling around to light the area with his car headlights. While he didn't make it in time, the photos of that moment actually still look fabulous. And moreover, we were just blessed to know that she was willing to put extra effort into capturing every moment as well as she could.
Would and do recommend as my #1 suggestion!

Kristen was AMAZING. She came to my house where my girls & I were getting ready and immediately started shooting. She captured so many details that I didn't even know she caught. She was extremely professional but at the same time super fun. As a bride, you spend almost all day with your photographer, and it is so important that the 2 of you get along. Kristen was so easy to work with and was constantly joking and making us laugh. She put everyone instantly at ease, and definitely felt like an old friend with an expensive camera who was just hanging out with us that day. Highly would recommend her !!

The moment I met Kristen I knew that she would be the photographer for my wedding. Her bubbly personality and sweet demeanor was infectious. How I found her was quite the story... I was looking at different types of bouquets but what caught my eye was her photo's. I had my aunt track her information down and arrange the meeting. I think I was more intrigued that this cute petite young lady had such an eye for beauty. I immediately booked her. Kristen has such a talent that it is hard to capture with words but I bet she could take a picture of it. My husband and I loved the engagement photo's and the wedding pics. Hands down this young lady has talent. Do not let the young face fool you, she is far beyond her years!
She is highly recommend in my book. I plan on having her capture the biggest moments in my life from now on! For those who are looking for a photographer to capture those intimate moments when you think no one is looking she is the one.
I hope your experience will be as great as ours...

If you manage to get Kristen to photograph your wedding you are one very lucky gal!!! Seriously, she can (and does) make ANYTHING look beautiful -- and has an incredible knack for capturing the essence of your wedding. One of the best things about her is that she is truly excited to share in the joy of your special day, so she's working WITH you (without getting in the way at all) to ensure you get the best representation of your wedding. I was thrilled with my pics (if you want to see them, they're on her blog under Brooke and Nathan).

We couldn't have found a better photographer than Kristen!! She took the time to get to know us & what we want for our pictures. Kristen is really gifted when it comes to photography, we had few ideas that we shared with her, but otherwise we just let her do her own thing & our pictures turned out AWESOME. We recommend her to anyone that we know is getting married or just wants pictures taken of their family. When it comes to doing your budget for your wedding - it is well worth it to spend a little more on your photographer, because you are going to look at your pictures all the time. Kristen Leigh is worth every penny :)

Kristen was such a joy to work with! She did such an amazing job on our engagment shoot, and an even more beautiful job on our wedding! I could not have asked for better photos. She captured every moment so perfectly. She has such a bubbly, fun personality and enjoys what she does, and that was such a relief for me, having someone who really loves photographing weddings and cares about how the pictures come out. My husband even had a blast at our engagment shoot, and he was not really looking forward to it since he's not big on photo shoots. :) But he wasn't ready to quit when we had finished. She made it so fun and easy to be photographed and I would hire her again in a second!
