Kristine is perfection!

Kristine is the coolest, most fun, and most talented photographer we've ever worked with and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the beginning, working with Kristine was seamless - she put in so much effort to ensure she understood the vibe we were aiming for and captured the day and its energy perfectly. We have gotten so many compliments on the quality of our photos. She has our highest recommendation!

Kristine is in a league of her own!

In starting our research for a wedding photographer, we immediately fell in love with Kristine's photography style and knew we had to hire her for our wedding. Our wedding was at a location she had not photographed before. A few months prior to our wedding, she met us (first time in person) and our planner to do a walk through of the venue to scope out the property. After the walk through, she spent some time getting to know us. This helped us feel more comfortable around her, and translated into more natural looking photos on our wedding day.

On the day of the wedding, Kristine arrived early and was ready to go in the 103 degree heat! She was running around all over the place and did such an amazing job capturing every detail perfectly. During the first look & portraits, she was clear in her directions and our poses looked and felt natural. Kristine was very efficient, which was great because it gave us a chance to actually enjoy our wedding day and mingle with guests instead of us abandoning the party for the majority of the reception to take portraits. She took all of the family & group shots we asked for, and some that we hadn't explicitly asked for but knew we would want based on her experience.

In all, Kristine is an extremely talented, experienced & versatile photographer, shooting our wedding in both digital and film. We were beyond pleased with the end result - the pictures are bright, airy and crisp -- exactly what we were hoping for. We received a perfect mix of portraits, detail shots and family photos in color and black & white. Kristine was so easy to work with and her communication throughout was excellent. She is a true professional and we are SO grateful we hired Kristine to capture every detail of our wedding day. Kristine truly is in a league of her own...you will not be disappointed!

Thank you kristine!

I can't say enough great things about Kristine and her work!!

Not only is she BEYOND talented, she is extremely sweet and easy going! My husband and I had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and booked Kristine 2 years before our wedding. We had an engagement shoot with her (highly recommend, as it was a great way for us to get used to being in front of the camera). During this time, Kristine made us feel very comfortable and we had a blast with her. Fast forward to now, she was so flexible as we changed around dates and our plans. She completely understood and was the first wedding vendor I checked in with regarding our new wedding date.

Our wedding photos are absolutely PERFECT!! She is such an artist - capturing natural & gorgeous photos! She brought her assistant to help shoot our wedding and both of them were such a pleasure to be around! We had multiple guests (family+friends) say how great they are. They knew exactly what they were doing the whole time. Kristine is organized and thorough throughout the planning process- having us complete a "must have" photo list before and providing recommendations.

I can't stop staring at ALL our gorgeous photos. I was hoping to have several to frame and love, but I'm in love with our whole wedding album. She is wonderful and I highly recommend Kristine!

THANK YOU Kristine for capturing our love in the most perfect way!!! Our photos are timeless & beautiful!

Kristine is amazing!

We booked Kristine because her style of photography fit what we envisioned for our photos and grew to love her because she made us feel comfortable and cared for--Kristine was very accommodating and worked with us through our COVID reschedules. Additionally, she was very responsive, had great energy and was a professional through and through. On the day of the wedding, Kristine and her team were very patient with us and expertly guided us through all the various stages of the wedding. Kristine also planned and worked very closely with our videographer. We also used Kristine for our engagement photoshoot, which we ended up doing after the wedding due to the pandemic. We can’t say enough great things about Kristine and highly recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer. She’s a star!

Thank you Kristine!!!

Kristine shot our wedding on 5/11/2019, and hiring her was one of the best decisions that we made for our big day!! First of all, her pictures are gorgeous, I am still completely blown away by how amazing they turned out! But beyond just her pictures, she is an incredibly kind and easy going person, and it was so nice to have that presence on our wedding day. She did a great job of asking all of the right questions leading up to the wedding so that we were prepared to get everything done as timely as possible (like the family photos). I also highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with her to get to know her and how she takes pictures!! She drove all of the way to Tahoe to take our stunning pictures, and helped with all of the steps along the way, even giving outfit advice when I couldn’t decide what to wear. She did a great job of directing us with posing, and it was nice to get a feel for that during the engagement pictures. I was worried I would look and feel awkward, but a couple of minutes in we felt so comfortable and had a blast! And the end result pictures just have so much personality, and look natural and organic. Kristine did an absolutely fantastic job, I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any future photo needs that we may have! Thank you Kristine for capturing our day so perfectly!!

Went above and beyond!

The only thing that made our amazing day more perfect was having the beautiful photographs afterward! Kristine was a total professional - easy to work with and made everything flow seamlessly. She has a great sense of what moments are important to capture and caught lots of other little moments I didn't even know about until seeing the photos afterward. In addition to her fantastic personality, three additional things stand out: 1. Toward the end of the night when she was headed home, I asked her to stay an extra 30 minutes even though it was more than we had contracted for. She immediately said yes without hesitation - and captured some AWESOME pictures at the end that I'm so grateful for! 2. I asked her for a photo the next day to have one great one to post and she turned it around immediately for us. 3. She managed to complete selection and editing of ALL the photos a month after our wedding... even though SHE had gotten married during that same month!! I can't believe she was able to produce so many pictures that quickly with so much going on in her life. THANK YOU KRISTINE!!

Stunning cinematic photos to treasure for a lifetime!

Kristine is an absolutely PHENOMENAL photographer. We didn’t hire Kristine for our wedding photographer but we decided to get our engagement photos taken by her (super last minute, 2 months before our wedding date) and it was one of the best decision we’ve ever made.

Before our engagement photo session, Kristine and I communicated mostly over email. She was very prompt with responses and really accommodating with our requests to take photos at two locations completely across town. I was very nervous about our photos session because we’ve never worked with a professional photographer before. Kristine was super nice in person and made us comfortable despite meeting for the first time.

We went out to SF Pier 7 and Sutro Baths to take photos during sunset hours. It was unbelievably windy that day and I was completely caught-guard with my hair flying every which way. Kristine handled everything like a champ and I cannot believe how the photos turned out despite the weather challenges. It goes to show how amazing of a photographer she truly is - being able to capture amazing stills between strong gusts of coastal winds. She also stayed out with us for a really long time on the windy beach just so we can get the perfect shots by the ocean.

Our photos were absolutely stunning and so very cinematic - we were absolutely speechless when we saw the results. She is a master of light and all of our engagement photos have the most romantic ethereal glow. My favorite pictures were definitely the candid shot that she took of us laughing and walking together. It really captured the essence of how happy we were together. I also loved the artistic photos that she took for us as well. We made the photos into canvas prints and a guest book for our wedding and received so many compliments!

Thank you Kristine for capturing all these amazing moment and for coming out with us to the windiest part of California! We love these photos so so much and would absolutely love to work with you again in the future!

My partner and I had the privilege to work with Kristine for our wedding day--and we're so glad we did!! Not only did she create beautiful quality photos that my partner and I LOVE, she had made the photography experience during the wedding day so enjoyable! Kristine has an amazing ability to be laid back while also showing incredible attention to detail. Our families were blown away by how quickly she found every last credit card in our pockets and strand of hair that was out of place. My partner and I especially loved the secluded location Kristine found for our first look, which gave us a chance to calm down and take a breather before the ceremony.

Just to top all of this, Kristine is just simply a good human being to work with. She's so sweet, chill and at the same time--she really goes above and beyond for things that matter to her. Can you tell that I'm her fan?

We found Kristine through a preferred vendors list at our wedding venue and we absolutely loved working with her! Kristine met with me a few weeks before the big day to discuss shots and details. She is so easy to communicate with, very prompt when answering emails, and put me at ease throughout the planning process. Kristine has a beautiful way of capturing all the details, and you can tell she is passionate about her photography. We received our wedding photos exactly a month after our wedding, and have loved reminiscing our special day. We couldn't have picked a better photographer, thanks Kristine!

Kristine was exactly what we wanted! I have a degree in photography, so I thought it would be hard to find a wedding photographer that I would be happy with, but I loved Kristine's portfolio, so I gave her a call to chat. She was personable, charming, and genuinely excited to capture the specialness of individual couples' relationships. When I found out she only shot on film, I was sold. What you get from a photographer that only uses film is an intentional 'shooter.' She is thoughtful. She composes. Then she takes the shot and moves on, instead of taking a zillion photographs and hoping there's a good one. Her style was particularly great for us because we didn't want a lens in our face the whole day. We loved all of our photographs so much! I want to specifically call out our beautiful sunset photographs which were our favorites in the collection. These were Kristine's idea and her suggestion that we just rolled with and we are so happy we did. Hire her. Listen to her. You will have amazing photographs of your special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
