Best Photographer EVER

Kristen was absolutely AMAZING throughly the entire wedding planning process. She is timely, organized, SO SWEET, passionate, patient and creative! She has great assistance from her husband as well. Our wedding and engagement pictures capture our love story perfectly and I am obsessed. We are so lucky to have found Kristen and will be going through her for all our future photography needs!

Must. Book!

WOW. Kristen with Method & Matte is truly a jewel of a photographer in Michigan. This is the kind of small business that makes you want to stay connected for life. From the very start, Kristen exuded excitement, kindness, and attention to detail, while also understanding how stressful and overwhelming wedding planning can be. She made it a priority to get to know my husband and me on a personal level, from grabbing coffee just to hang out, to making our engagement shoot so much fun. Those touchpoints gave us complete confidence in Kristen heading into our wedding day. Honestly, the #1 vendor I trusted most with my vision, hard work, and timeline was Method & Matte! By the time our wedding arrived, we felt so comfortable working with Kristen and were grateful to lean on her guidance in the middle of all the nerves and chaos. Her partner, Dan, was an incredible support throughout the day, helping with photos, timing, and everything in between. I cannot recommend this talented duo enough. Kristen gave us not just stunning photos, but also peace of mind, laughter, and joy along the way. We’re

Better than could have imagined!

My hunt for a photographer for my Michigan wedding (I’m from Texas), was stressful until I came across Kristen’s page. Her photos were beautiful and dreamy and romantic and seemed more candid than posed, which was exactly what I was hoping for. From first talking with her on the phone after sending her a request, I knew she was the right person for our wedding. She was professional, kind, patient, and you could feel the love and passion she has for capturing such an important event. Our wedding was wonderful and she made sure we got all of our requested shots as well as made sure we had some beautiful candids. She captured all of the love and joy of our day and took our breath away with how the photos turned out. The only complaint I have is we only wanted to get one photo printed on a large canvas but we can’t pick our favorite ❤️

We love Kristen!!!

Kristen was our engagement and wedding photographer and was great to work with. She's good at working with folks who aren't used to being in front of the camera, and her photographic instincts are amazing! We were very pleased with both our engagement and wedding photos.

Kristen is amazing!

Kristen & I did some impromptu professional photos last year & they turned out amazing!! It was so much fun to shoot with her. I’m a really awkward person & generally don’t like my pictures taken but she kept making me laugh & hyping me up that it turned out to be really fun & it definitely showed in the photos. She’s really professional yet makes you feel very comfortable & relaxed. I’ve also seen the work she does for couples at weddings & wow!! I wish she was doing this when I got married. I highly recommend Kristen!

Truly the best, and I am so grateful to have gotten to work with her!! The attention to detail and pictures were nothing short of amazing. Punctual, personal, and professional!

Excellent quality photos!

Kristen is an outstanding photographer. Our elopement was actually in May a couple years ago and very small. We opted not to hire a photographer, but looking back, we kinda wish we did. Because of that, my wife wanted to get out to do some couples photos for our anniversary with Kristen this year since we skipped 2020 due to the pandemic. Our shoot with Kristen was AWESOME. The photos came out so well and we are very happy with our album. Thanks Kristen!! Would love to do this again!
