Talk about talent! Kristen has it down pat. We fell in love with her portfolio and decided to sign with her for our wedding. When it came time for our engagement session we were beyond impressed and SO glad we signed with her. The shoot was at two sites, about 50 minutes away from each other and the entire process took at most 1.5 -2 hours...and included dogs and horses (so you know there were distractions!). She is so efficient and knows her shots that things just flow. Things never felt staged or awkward, she really was able to get us to be natural in front of the camera. We got so many photos that we loved from the very short time with her. While we haven't gotten our wedding photos back yet, we know they will be beyond perfect. We love the fact that she shoots with film, but also has an assistant that shoots digital. Her artistic and adventurous personality will be sure to produce unique and special photos. She was so organized with the group photos and was superb at herding the cats:) During the reception we never even noticed her or her assistant, that's talent! We ended up splurging and getting her package that included the leather photo album...recommend it after seeing an example in person...it's like nothing we've seen from any other photo service. It's truly a boutique item of extremely high quality. An event like this is so special it deserves the best:)
