Highly recommend!!

Kristen is an amazing photographer! For starters, my husband and I are not big on being the center of attention and having cameras on us, and yet she helped us make the pictures of both our engagement session and wedding day look so beautiful and natural! She also was able to tailor the pictures to exactly what we wanted to focus on. Apart from capturing the love we have for each other, we really wanted to capture the beauty of the nature around us and the joy and fun that our friends and family had on that day, and she absolutely delivered! She made us feel comfortable every step of the way and was available to answer questions whenever we needed clarification or advice. My husband and I absolutely love our pictures and we highly recommend Kristen as she is an exceptional photographer!

Amazing, wonderful, best photographer ever!

Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call with her, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. She made everything so personable and presented all of her information so clearly. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our wedding day and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it!
The engagement session was so much fun. She made it so easy to laugh and get to know her and the location she picked was just amazing. We're both very awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us!
As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses.
We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless.
On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter were poised and grateful even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) She helped me stay calm and reassured everyone that they would get their photo taken. My getting ready photos and first look with my family members are some that I'll always treasure as some of my favorite photos because of the emotion captured there. We're so thankful for her attention to detail as she so patiently dealt with a million "EXIT" signs and their lighting. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing catch up with before ceremony photos and all of the family photos afterward. Our private couple's session was so special and again it was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such poise and grace that it wasn't even noticed by our guests.
The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked and amazed that we got them the next day! We watched them at least a dozen times in the first hour of getting them. They were so special and just made us even more eager to see the whole gallery. All in all, I cannot recommend Kristin enough and am so thankful she was such a huge part of my wedding!

I can't even...

Kristen is truly one-of-a-kind, and words will never fully capture how grateful we are for her. I fell in love with her/her work years ago when she photographed my little sister’s wedding. From that moment, I knew there was no one else I’d trust to document one of the most important days of my life. Kristen exceeded every expectation and made our wedding day unforgettable in every possible way.

On our wedding day, Kristen made me feel calm (as much as she could) and playful. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or emotional (which happened often, I was an absolute wreck —overwhelmed with happiness, obviously), she reassured me that everything was going according to plan, which it wasn’t, as expected it took longer for us to get ready than allocated 😉 but because she’s incredible, she was able to catch up on the time we lost.

The sneak peeks she sent over the morning after the wedding were everything we could’ve hoped for—and more. I cried, hard, when I saw them. They perfectly captured the joy, love, and tiny moments we thought we’d missed in the whirlwind of the day.

Leading up to the wedding, Kristen was just as incredible. Her guides, and communication were so helpful, especially during the last few stressful months of planning. I tend to procrastinate on tasks when I’m overwhelmed, but Kristen made everything feel manageable. Her pre-wedding questionnaire was a game-changer—it included thoughtful questions that not only helped her understand our vision but also sparked inspiration for me. In fact, I ended up writing my vows based on the reflections her questions brought out in me. That’s how much she cares about every detail.

When we received our final gallery, I cried all over again. The photos perfectly reflected all the love, hard work, and intention we poured into our wedding. Kristen didn’t miss a single detail, from the sentimental items we carefully chose to the spontaneous, candid moments we didn’t even know happened. Our wedding was intimate, with 156 guests😉, and every photo felt like a window into their individual experiences. Even in the moments we weren’t physically there, Kristen’s photos made us feel like we lived them too.

For anyone considering Kristen as their wedding photographer, stop thinking and book her now. She’s more than a photographer—she’s someone who will care deeply about your story, your vision, and your experience. Her heart and passion shine through every photo she takes, and I will recommend her to everyone I know for the rest of my life. Kristen, thank you for giving us the gift of reliving our wedding day through your lens. We’ll treasure it and you forever.

Kristen is the BEST!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Kristen's incredible work as our wedding elopement photographer! From the very first conversation, she was nothing short of professional, flexible, and incredibly kind. Throughout the entire planning process, Kristen was so patient with us as we made many changes and adjustments. Her willingness to go above and beyond, no matter what we threw her way, truly made our day run smoothly.

Not only was Kristen an amazing photographer, but her positive attitude and calming presence made us feel at ease throughout the entire day. She took the time to understand us and captured every special moment with such care and attention to detail. We were absolutely thrilled with the photos—each one was stunning, and she truly told the story of our day through her lens.

Additionally, we were so honored and grateful that Kristen's husband joined us for the elopement. His support and enthusiasm was a wonderful bonus, and it made the experience even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to help us celebrate such a special occasion.

Thank you, Kristen, for your exceptional work, your kindness, and for being such a vital part of our wedding journey. We will forever cherish the memories you helped us capture!

We love Kristen!!

My husband and I were referred to Kristen through our venue. We knew that they would only refer us to the very best so we were confident that Kristen would be fantastic. And when we met her, it was a no brainer. She totally lived up to the hype. Kristen was the photographer for us!

She was warm, vulnerable, very funny and so curious to learn anything and everything about us!! I will admit I had mixed expectations going into the first meeting because I feel like meeting anyone for the first time can be awkward. But, it was anything but that. She validated all of her amazing reviews and left my husband I feeling so much more excited to be getting married!

When I look back on our wedding day, I just can’t believe how perfect everything turned out. And so much of that is because of Kristen! She captured every moment (big and small), remembered all the special details that we wanted to highlight and brought this special energy that made everything more fun. And, while I was enjoying the best day of my life, I felt so reassured and confident when our eyes met that she got “the shot”. And she did! Every single time!

That’s not all. When we were getting ready, Kristen was so patient and flexible with the unexpected delays and changes
that came up. She even helped me with my dress!! Kristen saw I needed an extra hand, let go of her camera and jumped right in. I think her exact words were “I got this, don’t worry”!!

All of this is to say, do yourself a favor: CHOOSE KRISTEN and cross “photographer” off your list. You will gain a special friend who will treat your wedding like her own and give you the happiest, most joyful pictures of you and your fiancé during one of the biggest moments of your life! Then, you can continue reliving every single bit of your special day for years to come!!

Kristen is beyond amazing

A photographer is arguably the most important vendor you're going to select while wedding planning. You'll look back on these photos for the rest of your life, and you want them to capture the feelings you experienced on your big day. Kristen's work demonstrates how a keen eye, passion, and true connection with her photo subjects can capture your wedding impeccably. Her work showcased all the hard work we put into the little details of the day without ever feeling staged, and her focus on our experience and that of our guests was beyond compare. From the outset, we knew she was going to be a delight to work with, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the final product. Our gallery is both Pinterest worthy and deeply intimate. The colors and editing style are timeless, clear, and every image truly tells a story. Kristen is your go-to if you want a photographer who will make you comfortable, laugh, and somehow ALWAYS be there to capture the perfect moments. She's incredible - hire her immediately!!!

Kristen is amazing and we would totally use her again!

Leading up to the wedding Kristen almost overloads you with so much information! She provides so many guides and resources to help you plan, and not just for the photography! She was super responsive during this time and answered any questions and was even able to add on a second photographer a month out when we decided we needed one due to the time constraints.

Kristen was utterly amazing on our wedding day! She fought off both of our intrusive extended families who tried to butt in while we were going down our list of necessary photos while also trying to beat the setting sun. We are way too nice so it was great having someone like Kristen who knows we need to get the job done and tell them we have a list so we’ll get their picture later. She and her second were both so nice and I really enjoyed having them there to support us and photograph our wedding day. She laughed at all our nerdy wedding jokes and made us feel comfortable and natural while taking photos. She’s also a pro who can cycle through taking single photos of you and each bridesmaid/groomsman in no time at all.

We were astonished when we had a sneak preview literally the next day! That was so quick! She provided us with some of the best shots to share right away as well as one we used for our Christmas card.

Our final gallery came a week earlier than expected (and on Christmas Eve to boot)! We spent hours gushing over just our first pass of the photos. We just love Kristen’s aesthetic she’s added to the photos through her editing. The day doesn’t look quite as grey and dark as it was and she really made the colors on the groom’s maroon suit POP. Overall she has such a natural, light, soft look and we absolutely love what she’s delivered to us. There are so many fun candid photos of guests dancing and having fun as well as the special tearful moments with family and friends as well.

My grandma was unable to make it to the wedding due to her health and so two weeks later we went to visit her in our wedding outfits and take some iPhone photos. Kristen was gracious enough to edit those a little so that they looked more professional and my grandma could feel like she was there too when we showed her the gallery. We really appreciated this gesture as Kristen went above and beyond to do that for us!

We would use Kristen again in a heartbeat so we highly recommend you do too!

The absolute best

We had Kristen photograph our wedding in October and there’s not enough words in the dictionary to describe how absolutely incredible she has been on our crazy ride. From our first conversations through FaceTime, we knew there was no one else we wanted to shoot our wedding, and time and time again she proved to us why she’s the best in the industry. Kristen has the absolute best personality and has a gift for making people feel safe, sound, and secure on their big day. Every picture is breathtaking and every detail is perfection. If there’s any complaint I can make, it’s that we now have the impossible task of figuring out what pictures we want to hang on our walls when what we really want to do is get a bigger wall to put them all up! We’ve spent countless hours scouring through the hundreds of beautiful photos Kristen took of our wedding and we’re instantly transported back in time to relive our special day over and over again. Kristen is the absolute best and no one else can compare if I’m being honest. What truly makes her the greatest is not just her photography but also how welcoming and personal she is. Kristen has the innate ability to make every person she comes across feel like her best friend and all our guests came to us after the wedding to talk about how great she was not just as a photographer but also as a person. Kristen deserves 100 stars, not 5. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us, we were truly blessed to have you be a part of our special day!

Photographer

Thank you Kristen for helping capture one of the best days of my life in the most beautiful way. Your photos have left me speechless and helped capture the day perfectly with the quirkiness, humor, and beauty that Shane and I’s relationship has. From the moment we met on zoom for a consultation to the wedding day, you have been so kind and have brought such a positive energy. You helped me feel so calm with the timeline knowing that we would get to everything that we wanted to on our wedding day and helped capture all the moments we wanted as well. Getting the sneak peek photos of our wedding day three days later helped to keep the excitement going of the wedding day and give us something special to look back on so soon. I plan on using Kristen services again and again as all her photos are amazing. From engagements, to weddings, maternity shoots, family portraits, etc. she is the perfect person for it and I can’t wait to have her help us capture all of life special moments.

Kristen is the PERFECT Wedding Photographer

Kristen is such an incredible photographer, but more importantly she is beautiful and kind person who will make you feel comfortable and calm on your wedding day. We hired Kristen based on her beautiful gallery of wedding photos - we saw how she captured genuine reactions, love, and life, and we knew we needed her to be our photographer. What we did not realize was that we were also hiring someone who would celebrate with us, get to us know, and make us feel special on our day. Kristen and her second photographer were able to capture all of the photos we wanted, and the photos we received were beyond our wildest expectations. Not only were they beautiful and magical, but they captured our love and the love of our friends and family so perfectly. Additionally, Kristen was able to deliver our final photos earlier than estimated - weeks earlier, in fact! If you are looking for a photographer who is beyond talented and will help capture your special day in an authentic way, look no further. Kristen is your gal! Thank you, Kristen for everything you've done and for creating such stunning photos for us to treasure forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
