September in NoMi

Kristen went above and beyond to make our big day even more magical! Prior to our big day she assisted with ideas for vendors as needed, was easy to contact, organized, and a great asset to our wedding! At our engagement session she spent time to get to know us as a couple, understand what we valued most and started to give us tips for the day of such as timelines and what to expect for each photo. She helped us compile a list of photos for the day and took bonus shots we hadn't even considered and LOVE! Everyone that was in front of her lens mentioned how comfortable they were. Even 'non-smilers' were caught with the biggest smiles! Kristen is a joy to work with! The finished products took our breath away! We highly recommend Kristen to help make your day extra special!

The BEST in Northern, MI

Kristen is FANTASTIC. from start to finish our experience with her was amazing. She made us feel comfortable throughout engagement pics, planning meetings and most importantly on our wedding day. Our pictures were sent extraordinarily quickly and captured our day to a tee! The pictures themselves really showed off her pure talent as a wedding photographer - we were beyond impressed. Kristen has endless experience with weddings and Walloon, MI which truly helped the day go as smoothly as possible. We wouldn’t have changed a thing!!

Kristen is absolutely incredible! Obviously as a photographer, but as an individual as well. She captures every ounce of love that is around her. She makes you feel so relaxed and makes the experience so much fun! We so appreciate her work with our engagement, wedding and soon to be family pictures! Whether it’s candid or posed, the love and joy always shines through.

Highly recommend!

We hired Kristen for our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos in June 2023. We chose Kristen to capture our wedding because of the amazing things we heard about her, and she absolutely did not disappoint! She was very professional and made us feel at ease during the session. She listened to our ideas and requests, (even when we told her we wanted to take two-tracks to a location for wedding party photos), and gave us the most beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. She would truly do anything to make your wedding photo dreams come true!
