About

We live for capturing the amazing, joyful and unexpected fleeting moments of a wedding day. The moments of laughter or the ones that make you smile, and even the ones that will make your eyes well up with tears. Those are the moments that really matter and that you will treasure forever.

We love people who know who they are, what they love, and where they’re most exhilarated. Our couples are madly in love, impeccably stylish, and have an appreciation for excellence and ingenuity. It’s your personality, character, and relationship that bring to life the story we tell through our images.

The Luxury Experience that you deserve, and we're known for.

Being your wedding photographer isn't just a job, it's a privilege. From the first time we say “hello” to the moment we hug you goodbye on your wedding day (and we ALWAYS hug) to the moment we hand over your one-of-a-kind album, every thoughtful detail is tailored just for you. Your wedding isn’t a project in our calendar; it’s a collaborative experience that’s full of meaningful inspiration, creative direction and personable attention. We have worked with clients from all over the world. With each project and couple, we pour our time, energy, knowledge and spirit into getting to know your preferences and dynamic so that we build long-lasting relationships. Oh, and we're not sorry for being the hardest working team on your wedding day.

Reviews of Kurstin Roe Photography

Talented and fun photographer

Kurstin is a phenomenal and talented photographer and artist! He takes high quality photographs, that have a brightness to them that bring joy to anyone who views them. He’s very flexible to the style of the couple, and applies his artistic talent to ensure the photographs he takes impress. Further he has such a fun personality, which is so important as he spends more of the day with the bride than possibly anyone else. His ability to make people smile makes him a pleasure to work with, and ensures he captures sincere happiness in his photos.

Perfection!

Simply put, Kurstin is the best. He stuck by us for FOUR wedding dates as we navigated postponements due to COVID. He and his team perfectly planned and captured our day and created photo memories for us that will last a lifetime.

Most amazing wedding photographer!

Working with Kurstin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we met him until our wedding day, he made the entire process so much fun. After only meeting us once, he knew how to make us feel comfortable, relaxed, and special during our engagement photos and on our big day. Despite a surprising snow storm, Kurstin and his assistant Joe, went above and beyond to get us spectacular photos in the snow. Not only is Kurstin an incredibly skilled photographer, but he is such a pleasure to work with and made me feel so special on the wedding day. I would love to work with him again in the future!

Professional Beautiful Photos

Kurstin from start to finish was absolutely wonderful. He helped guide us through the entire process providing great recommendations to ensure we got the perfect photos. Day of he made sure everything ran smoothly while capturing all our special moments. The pictures themselves are stunning and timeless. We can't recommend Kurstin enough!

Amazing experience!

Kurstin did an absolutely amazing job on our big day! He captured every single picture we wanted and came up with many more creative, iconic DC wedding shots that we didn't think of ourselves. While we love Kurstin's personality and creative ideas, one of my favorite parts about his work is his editing style. All of his pictures are edited so naturally and elegantly but never lacking the WOW factor. I would happily refer ANYONE to Kurstin & his team.

Amazing professional and even better photographer

Kurstin is an amazing professional and expert at his craft. He has a unique instinct for photography that creates photos that become instant classics. My wife, Kurstin and I spent multiple hours preparing for the pre-wedding and wedding day shots. He truly gets to know all couples that he works with, so he can infuse their personality in the photos. We were able to rest assured and just be in the moment during the wedding because we knew that Kurstin would capture the moment beautifully.

On top of his artistic ability, Kurstin is a great communicator and master of logistics. He is always aware of what photos need to be taken at what times, without adding stress to the bride and groom. He somehow balances all these responsibilities, while cracking jokes and being humorous. I can not recommend his services enough.

Perfect Photography

Our experience with Kurstin Roe was exquisite. He truly knew how to capture our personality on screen, and his artistic lens added a layer of complexity that most other photographs lack. I would recommend Kurstin to my friends and anyone planning to be married in the DC area in a heartbeat!

Kurstin is AMAZING!!!!!

We were fortunate enough to have Kurstin as our photographer for our engagement photos and actual wedding in June 2019. Kurstin was an absolute joy to work with from the very beginning. While we were going through the (very nerve-wracking) process of vetting different candidates to photograph our big day, Kurstin immediately stood out as the obvious choice. We loved his portfolio, but were especially impressed by his professionalism and proactiveness. We appreciated how he took the time to meet with us over the course of several weeks to get to know us as a couple - even before we started officially working with him! Not only did he guide us through the entire process and field our MANY questions, he was truly open to understanding our likes and dislikes. I (the bride) have never liked being in front of the camera, but Kurstin really took my concerns to heart and went out out of his way to ensure I felt at ease (and beautiful!) throughout the entire experience.

Our wedding took place in VA, but my husband and I are based in NYC. Kurstin was happy to accommodate our busy schedules and travel out to the city for our engagement photo shoot. He spent the whole day trekking around Brooklyn and lower Manhattan with us, and ended up capturing some amazing pictures - many of which we picked as keepers for framing)!

Our wedding day itself was nothing short of spectacular, and we were so happy to have Kurstin there to capture all the special moments. He brought a level of seasoned, calm professionalism to the table and played a critical role in keeping our chaotic wedding party organized and on schedule. We relied on his guidance and direction throughout the day, and also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to take our opinions and ideas into consideration. He went out of his way to check in with us and make sure we were comfortable over the course of each shoot. I had initially gone into the day dreading photos, but Kurstin's efforts and dedication helped transform the experience into a fun and enjoyable one for all of us!

And of course, Kurstin's work speaks for itself. He is incredibly talented and possesses the uncanny ability to tailor his work to his client's taste vs. only specializing in one "style". He delivered our pictures in a timely manner and was incredibly patient with addressing our feedback. We absolutely LOVE all our wedding photos - from the staged family portraits, to the candids - and are so grateful to have so many options by which to remember our big day for years to come. We cannot recommend Kurstin enough!

Amazing photographer!

We loved working with Kurstin for our wedding and engagement photos. He's so thoughtful and fun, and clearly so skilled with a camera. He paid close attention to what we wanted our photos to be like, and he made the hours of wedding photo shoots go by quickly. We'd recommend him to anyone!

Made Our Special Day Special

My now husband and I loved working with Kurstin for our wedding, engagement pictures, and our rehearsal dinner. He was a consummate professional who was cordial accepting and fun to hang around with while taking our wedding photos. Most importantly - he captured our wedding in the way we wanted that highlighted the love and joy of the weekend. I would highly recommend him to any and all.

Bellwether Events Bellwether Events Wedding Planners

Kurstin Roe Photography is a company that I recommend to almost all of my clients. Kurstin used to be part of a larger consortium of photographers, but has now struck out on his own. I feel that he offers a great mix of unique candid photographs as well as stunning portraits. His work has a delicate "fine art" feel to it that many modern, sophisticated brides demand. He is responsive to inquiries, operates in a professional manner at all times, considerate of the wedding day timeline, and above all, incredibly talented in creating beautiful photographs.
