Kristy was amazing and more than we could have ever asked for! We dont take many photos and the memories we now have from our engagement session and wedding day bring smiles to our faces every time. She has such an eye for beautiful compositions and detail. She has no problem instructing large and small groups and going with the flow. We have received endless compliments on our pictures already. On top of her talent she is also extremely professional and responds quickly to emails and always has solid answers to questions. I would definitely recommend her.

We were so blessed to have Kristy as our photographer! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She did an amazing job the day of the wedding as well as keeping good contact with me throughout the planning process. She was so sweet and was also very good at giving direction when needed. I've seen a few sneak peaks of our photos and I am thrilled with the end results. She was able to capture the small candid moments as well as the classic essentials, which was exactly what I was looking for. I would Highly recommend Kristy to anyone looking for a wedding Photographer in the Grand Rapids area! :)

We could not be happier with our choice to use Kristy as our wedding photographer! We absolutely love how our photos turned out! We told her what we were looking for and she nailed it. In addition to taking beautiful photos, she was a delight to work with. Our families and multiple members of the the bridal party have commented on how nice she was to be around on our wedding day! Other raves include: she got through the group pictures really quickly, she got us our photos before we got back from our honeymoon, she was very reasonably priced compared to the other photographers we looked at, and she was very flexible in terms of the hours we wanted here there taking pictures. We truly cannot say enough good things! From the groom - "Stop stressing over a photographer decision for your wedding and just book Kristy right now!"

We could not have been more thrilled to have Kristy and her assistant, Erica, be a part of our wedding day. They were professional, yet fun, relaxed, and an absolute pleasure to have around (as always!). Kristy took awesome engagement photos and perfectly captured all elements of our wedding day. We will cherish her images forever. If you are looking for a photographer, we could not recommend Kristy Berends Photography more highly. We’re happy to call her not only our photographer, but now, a friend!

Kristy was one of the best decision my husband and I made about our big day. She is calm, sweet and very approachable which made everything go so much smoother and eased the nerves that day. Our ceremony and reception were in the same location and despite a small crowd following the wedding party for pictures, Kristy was able to get all of the shots we wanted and help us make it to our cocktail hour to spend time with family and friends. I cannot speak highly enough of how comfortable she has made us feel and how blessed we are to have had her help document this special day in our lives. She is unbelievably talented- we just love her!

Kristy was the ideal photographer. At moments I felt like I was very demanding and had certain shots I wanted her to take and she was very accomodating! What we paid for her service was EXTREMELY resonable compare to others and he work was awesome! I had many many people compliment my pictures and go on and on about how awesome the photographer did with capturing the emotions of the day!

Kristy did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding in October. We were highly satisfied with every thing she did for us. She was very flexible and we would always hear from her the next day. She had wonderful ideas and captured all the moments we wanted. Kristy made sure we had all our proofs within a few weeks, which was wonderful. We had them within 2-3 weeks, which most photographers take longer. Her prices were wonderful, we got SO much for our money. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristy to anyone. I really liked that she had the option of having a second photographer, all her services she offered, and her creativity.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Kristy is one of the most amazing photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Our day together started with a torrential downpour in Michigan. Though the weather was not ideal, Kristy never wavered. She was calm, collected, and forever capturing the small details. Looking through my clients gallery, Kristy's candids were my absolute favorite!
