About

On a mission to capture cheerful and romantic images that reflect and protect your legacy.

My style is story driven. I'm all about the real, the raw, the passionate, un-posed fleeting moments that make you feel something or transport you back to that very moment. I allow your day to unfold as naturally as possible. When you’re looking at your photographs 5, 10, 20 years down the road, I want there to be real memories and stories that come back to you. Your photographs will have real emotion, authentic expressions, and genuine moments in them.

So thankful for Kyrsten!

I cannot say enough good things about Kyrsten, She.is.amazing. The biggest thing when searching for a photographer that we were looking for was someone who had personality and boy does she have it! Besides the fact that she is an extremely talented photographer (her photos speak for themselves), she made my husband and I feel so comfortable and felt more like a friend rather than just another vendor. We are so glad we trusted her to capture our wedding day!

The BEST Wedding Photographer Ever!

Kyrstan was amazing and flexible to work with. My first bridal session got rained out and she was able to reschedule and get another session in. When it also rained the day of my reschedule, she still was able to make things work and get my bridals printed on time. On the day of the wedding she did a great job of keeping everything on schedule and getting the photos we wanted. Not only do her pictures turn out amazing but she also made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture some of the best moments from our wedding. I couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos.

Amazing!!!

Kyrsten is one of the sweetest but also, will bring you out of your shell to make sure she captures the most beautiful pictures you never thought you were capable of. She is also a creative mind and never fails to keep learning to make sure her clients are getting the very best. There is no doubt you will be selecting a great photographer when picking her.

Breathtaking photos: wouldn’t trust anyone else

My husband and I got married 4 months ago, and I am still obsessing over our photos. Kyrsten did our engagement photos AND our wedding photos, and I could not be happier that we picked her (and she picked us). She is not only a true, knowledgeable professional, but she is also a calming presence on a day that can/will otherwise be incredibly hectic. She works hard to get the perfect shot and makes the whole experience fun and romantic. I never once doubted her. If she said “stand there”, “look there”, “hold this pose”, I did it without hesitating, and I’m so glad I did because the outcome blew my mind. Leading up to a wedding, every bride has a maddening amount of decisions to make, and I can’t explain the relief I felt when I could just show up to take photos and truly trust how everything would turn out. Kyrsten is a fabulous photographer and a genuinely sweet friend. She’s bold, creative, considerate, efficient, fair, and professional. I would recommend her services to anyone for any occasion, especially a wedding or engagement.

Best of the best

Kyrsten is the best! She is the most creative and intentional photographer and constantly blew me away with her ability to direct a crowd, pose so creatively and beautifully to flatter anyone, and her professionalism while making her clients feel known and cared for. She’s a no brainer as your wedding photographer and a marketing genius when it comes to Pinterest and how to find clients. She’s just the best human and anyone who gets to work with her is so lucky!

Most amazing photographer EVER

Kyrsten is such an amazing spirit. She has a beautiful eye for photography, knows how to make her clients completely comfortable, and goes above and beyond in so many ways. Honestly there aren’t enough words to describe how awesome she is. I felt so awkward about having my pictures taken, but she made me and my husband feel comfortably instantly. She also produced the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen of myself. If you want to feel truly beautiful in your pictures and have the love captured so beautifully then definitely hire Kyrsten. She was one of the highlights of my wedding day and hands down my favourite vendor. She did so many extra things, went completely above and beyond on so so so so many instances and I’m forever grateful for her. She truly feels like a friend. I can not wait to share these beautiful photos with everyone for many years to come. These are pictures I’ll be proud to show my future children. Seriously if you haven’t hired her yet you need to go and do that right now. Best photographer ever. Photographer isn’t even a good enough word because she’s truly an artist, friend, miracle worker, and more.

Amazing!

Let me just start by saying if you’re reading this, you’re in the right place. Do you want magical photos from this chapter of your life? Then book her now! Like NOW :)
From the first time we met Kyrsten, she put us at ease! We had a long but amazing photo shoot at Hamilton pool and shared so many laughs! She kept my (now) hubby engaged the entire time... you ladies know how photoshoots can go with your men- But he actually had so much fun!
After leaving our first shoot with her, it felt as though we had been lifelong friends.
Kyrsten was someone I knew I could trust and bounce ideas off of throughout the wedding planning process! She’s so entirely hands on from the day you meet her to the day you say your vows which was freaking awesome! She truly gets to know her couples which I believe is why she is able to bring our vision/ stories to life so seamlessly. You are not just another couple or number to her, you become a lifelong friend.
For my boudoir shoot, she made me feel so comfortable and like a total queen!! We had a blast with this secret project!!
We changed our wedding location from Texas to Mexico a few months into planning and I knew it would be a lot to ask our vendors to travel with us on a whim. I called her and she was so on board and about it!! It literally was a huge relief and got me so pumped up for our day!! I knew I wanted her there no matter where we got married.
For our wedding day, she kept everyone in line and was so attentive to making sure we were getting the photos we wanted but also having a great time! She knew what photos/moments were a must for us and made sure to capture them flawlessly! She also played a big part in making sure our timeline stayed on track! She knows this industry inside out and is always there to answer any questions you have with honesty and care.
Every step of the way, she was not just a photographer, but a friend and hype woman!
Kyrsten is such an talented creative and comes up with great ideas to bring moments to life beautifully!
I’m obsessed with the results of her work! She IS the queen of capturing moments. She makes it fun and far from generic.
Beyond being an amazing photographer, she is a wonderful human being and we are forever grateful for her.

The BEST decision was hiring her to capture our wedding day!

I am not sure where to begin with how amazing Kyrsten is, I will do my best! To start, when we first got on a phone call she was so professional and truly understood the vision we wanted with our wedding photos. She stayed in touch with us until the big day ensuring we felt taken care of. Especially as we were planning a destination wedding in Mexico, it was hectic at times and i’m so grateful to have had her and her team there with us!

Now for our wedding day + photos… OMG!! The photos are absolutely stunning, they truly captured how we felt in every moment and all the detail! But more importantly, Kyrsten was everything I needed on my wedding day, she helped me stay focus, calm and on time. She was my go to person when I had to make some risky decisions relating to the weather and I truly felt like I could count on her with everything. She had back up spots because of the rain, and made us feel so seen and supported, it was so easy to trust her with everything!! Her energy kept us calm and excited, always reminding us about what the day truly was about + she knows how to run the show and get every perfect photo despite having a wild, big crazy crew!

If you are considering hiring Kyrsten and her team, I hope this review is your final confirmation to DO IT! You will be in the best hands possible and be so happy with the photos!

Best photographer around!

Kyrsten & her team are truly some of the best people I’ve met during my wedding planning experience. They were referred to us from a friend, and when we met via FaceTime, we instantly connected. Kyrsten is understanding, professional, fun, flexible, and committed to the vision. From our engagement session on, we knew they were absolutely the right fit for us. They traveled from Texas to Florida, and I never once had a doubt that they would show up prepared! The entire wedding weekend from welcome party, rehearsal dinner and wedding day into after party. They were in the mix the whole time capturing all the little moments, I will have to always look back on. Specifically, I had a bridesmaid who has a wheelchair user, and she even reached out to me personally to comment on how accommodating kind and attentive Kyrsten and her team were and making her feel that she blended right in to the rest of the group photos, despite using a wheelchair. Kyrsten and her team know how to make it fun and seamless! You don’t feel like the photos take up the majority of your wedding day. You’re really able to focus on your friends, family and partner, but know that they are there capturing all the little moments. They offer video as well & we are so glad that we added that in our package! Thank you guys so much!!
We can’t wait to keep working with Kyrsten and her team for all the other big events in our life 🤍
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
