    Kristen did our engagement and wedding photos for us and she was absolutely incredible! Not only have we found someone to take all of our future family pictures, but also a great friend. Kristin is so fun and easy to work with. She made us, even my husband who wasn't super excited about having a photo shoot, feel so comfortable. She was the perfect mix between telling us how to pose, but also making the pictures look completely candid and natural. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and the pictures were stunning. We also chose to have a second shooter and she did an incredible job. We have so many to choose from and I couldn't believe how fast we got the photos back. I would recommend Bon Vivant to anyone! Thank you, thank you, thank you Kristen!

    I couldn't have been happier or more impressed with Bon Vivant Studios. Kristen was so incredibly easy and flexible to work with. My kids were NOT cooperating on the day we did our engagement pictures and she allowed us to schedule another day. Both sets of pictures turned out perfectly and captured the craziness and love of our relationship and family. She met with us multiple times leading up to our wedding day planning out where and what we wanted and needed as a couple, family, and extended family.

    As for quality, my pictures were top notch. She used natural lighting and natural foliage to create beautiful scenery around my husband and I. She got all the pictures I wanted from my wedding day and much more.

    Bottom line, Kristen is the best. She is friendly, creative, artistic and a loving person who will work hard and right next to you to capture your special day. I will be hiring her to do my upcoming maternity and newborn pictures with baby #3.

    We started the process of looking for a photographer for our wedding with some apprehension, but when we found Bon Viviant Studios all of that disappeared! Kristen is a breath of fresh air. She worked with our budget and was very quick to pick up on what was important to us for our day. My fiance noticed right away from her portfolio the skill she has working with tricky lighting. This was invaluable to us because we were getting married up at Tamarack Chapel in front of the beautiful big windows and we knew we would need someone confident and reliable to catch that moment. I noticed how friendly she was and how much great energy she would bring to the day. She genuinely loves you both as a couple and is excited to be a part of your day! She listened to all the details I gave her and helped fill in all the gaps to make sure the day flowed smoothly. Kristen made all our pictures turn out gorgeous! She captured the free airiness of our day in the mountain meadows and she was not afraid to follow us off the beaten track to get all our bridal party pictures in a grove of ash trees. She went above and beyond every expectation we had for our wedding photos and we will always treasure them! Thanks you so much for all you do!

    Kristin truly made our day so special! She was always there whenever I had a question both during and in the days leading up to the wedding! Her warm, friendly personality makes you just want to hang out with her all the time. We appreciated her flexibility as well as her attention to detail.

    I absolutely could not be happier with the photos and service that Bon Vivant Studios provided for my wedding.

    From the very beginning of the planning process, I was struggling to find a photographer whose photos were beautiful and captured not only the images but also the emotions of the day, who was enjoyable to be around since I'd be seeing a lot of the on my wedding day, and whose pricing fell into my budget. I was thrilled when Kristen was still available for my date.

    The very first time we met, I knew I was going to be happy working with her. Kristen has a beautiful heart and is so much fun to be around. She was extremely organized and had everything ready to show my then-fiancé and me when we went to meet her, and she covered every question we had about the whole process. Our engagement session was fun and put us totally at ease, and the great shots reaffirmed my decision to hire her.

    On our wedding day, Kristen and Natalie were perfect. They were right on schedule and worked closely with my wedding planner to keep the entire day running smoothly. They were kind, easygoing, and still knew how to get things done. I barely noticed them during the ceremony, and afterward, they got through the family photos quickly and efficiently, which was especially important since it was over 100 degrees. We were able to join in the reception very quickly.

    As soon as we got back from our honeymoon, Kristen had our photos ready to go. The quality and resolution of the downloadable photos were excellent. Kristen and Natalie were with us for nine hours, and we ended up with roughly 1200 photos. They captured every detail I wanted captured and more. I have no doubt that when I finally get around to picking out my album photos someday, it will be beautiful as well.

    I would highly recommend Bon Vivant to anyone looking for fun photographers with amazing photos. Their pricing is competitive for the quality and amount and worth every last penny.

    Kristen is a true artist who is professionally trained, expert photographer who knows how to shoot people. I hired her because I knew I would have no over photoshopped photos or unflattering poses. Her professionalism, customer service and personality made it a delight to have her shooting out wedding day!

    Thank you Kristen!

    We did engagement and wedding photos, and they are top-notch!

    We hired Bon Vivant Studios because we love her style and still do. She captured the day and all of its beauty even more than I could have imagined. She was very professional all throughout. We certainly got what we paid for!

    Kristen Fields of Bon Vivant Studios captured our wedding with such grace and outstanding photography! She sees what the average photographer eye does not! Additionally, she has such talent in capturing the heart and soul of such a special day! Not only was she reasonably priced, but she arrived on time ready to go. Lastly, we were able to access our photos online very soon after our wedding!

    Kristen couldn't have been more amazing to work with. She listened to us and worked with us to make the most beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime. Not only was she professional, but she was thoughtful and caring, making us always feel at ease and confident with the work she put forth. I couldn't be happier with the choice to pick Bon Vivant Studios - Kristen is hands down the best!

    Kristen captured our non-traditional family so perfectly. From our family engagement photo session to our wedding she went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that ensured all members of our family felt important. On the day of the wedding Kristen provided an opportunity for my husband and I to just be lost in the moment. Not worrying about details, just reminding us to take a moment and write our love story... So she could capture it.

    She has a knack for seeing and reading people quickly. She's as equally skilled behind the lens as she is at being socially intelligent. This is imperative when you are capturing a couple's Happily Ever After.

    We are so grateful to have had such a talented lady to capture our moment. Thanks Kristen!

    We had the pleasure of using Kristen as our engagement and wedding photographer. She is absolutely amazing...talented, professional and down to earth. She met with us on numerous occasions ahead of time and made us feel comfortable and confident in our decisions. Not only did our big day turn out to be a dream come true but the photos were more than perfect. We have great memories working with Kristen and her crew as well as a beautiful and enormous photo album that will last a lifetime. We definitely recommend Bon Vivant Studios and will be using them for our family photos from now on. Thank you Kristen for making our day so special.

    Kristen was wonderful to work with. Throughout the wedding preparation process she was approachable, professional and respectful of all the unusual requests we had. She was organized and did everything she could to ensure our wedding day and our pictures were perfect. A few days before the wedding we realized we would need a second photographer to ensure we could capture all the details of our wedding day. I was really impressed and appreciative that she effortlessly made arrangements for a second photographer despite have just a few days (without any additional stress for the bridal party). On the big day itself she and the rest of her team were the perfect balance of professional and fun. We loved being around them and were thrilled with the beautiful pictures from our wedding day. Overall I would highly recommend Kristen to future brides!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Kristen with Bon Vivant Studios. I initially chose Kristen as our wedding photographer after seeing her portfolio of work. As an artist myself, I was looking for a photographer who aligned with my vision and I knew I could trust to capture the most meaningful moments of our big day. I soon began to realize that Kristen is far more than a great photographer. My experience of working with her made me feel so special. She went out of her way to answer any questions or concerns I had (and I feel like I had a lot). The manner with which she worked with me was both professional, yet highly personalized. In the chaos of our wedding day, she was yet again there to celebrate my fiance (now husband!) and did so with effortless professionalism. Months now have passed since our wedding day and I’m still blown away with the images Kristen captured. Each image chronicles such special moments and is the most beautiful chronicle of our magnificent day. If given the chance, I would sing my praises for Kristen from the rooftops. Hire her...she is an amazing photographer and an even better person.

    It’s been a year since my wedding, and I am STILL so happy with my choice in Bon Vivant as my photography! Kristen was an absolute blast to work with; she is fun, easygoing, and SUPER talented. She worked with us through the whole wedding planning process and was never fazed by the fact my husband and I are goofy yet camera-shy people... if she can make us look good, she can make ANYONE look good  Our pictures turned out beautifully, and they will always be treasured by us. If I did it all over, I’d definitely choose Kristen again – you rock, lady!

    Kristen was enthusiastic and professional in her approach, and made time to create a unique rapport with each of my family members. She quickly learned each of our names and what we were about in order to ensure the highest quality images. Not only were our photos beautiful, they also translated our story, our emotions, and the individual cadence of all seven of us.

    She handles her business with courtesy, respect, and most importantly gratitude. She embraces and welcomes the opportunity to help each family tell their story, and that type of approach is truly unique in today's business world.

    Kristen will be my families photographer of choice for the many years to come. We were so blessed to find her!

    Kristen Renee with Bon Vivant was THE BEST photographer we could have chosen to capture our wedding! From the engagement sessions to the day of the wedding, Kristen captured our relationship perfectly! She was great at making us feel comfortable (which was a challenge at first!) so we were able to have fun and let our love for each other shine thru! With 1500 pictures from our wedding day, there isn't a moment she didn't catch. I get more compliments on our pictures, and love that we have them to remember our day forever!

    She is an amazing photographer. While her prices may seem slightly higher than some other wedding photographers out there, it is definitely worth the investment. Never in my life have I seen images of myself looking so beautiful and happy. She truly has a gift for capturing the moment and I could not have asked for better wedding photographs. These images captured the feelings of love felt on that day, and will be cherished for decades to come. Absolutely NO regrets in choosing her as my photographer and I will recommend her to all of my friends and family!

    Kristen is not only an artist, but also a simply wonderful person to work with. She helped us to feel comfortable and relaxed during the photography sessions, and knew just what to have us do to get beautiful images. Her creativity and ability to perfectly capture a moment, combined with her cheerful and friendly personality, made for a very laid-back, fun, inviting, and forever memorable experience. We love Kristen!

    So many brides end up stressed out on their wedding day - and if there's one thing I knew I wanted, it was a peaceful day that I would look back on as truly the best day of my life! So much of that had to do with the vendors I chose - in particular, Kristen with Bon Vivant Studios. I was late, as usual, and Kristen made me feel absolutely at ease that everything was going to be just fine. I can't imagine if my photographer had showed any annoyance or stress at how late I was running! Leading up to the wedding she was so helpful and brought up a ton of things that I hadn't even thought of yet - her experience with weddings in general proved to be invaluable. All my guests were commenting on how attentive the photographers were, and I just knew that was one area I wouldn't have to even think about on the day of. After the wedding, when Kristen showed us our photos we were absolutely blown away. I find myself looking at them all the time, since I was able to download them to my phone. My husband and I are so glad Kristen was such a big part of our wedding day - and so thankful for all she did above and beyond the wedding day!

    Kristin was amazing as the photographer for our wedding. She really went above and beyond. We planned our wedding out of state and found her to be extremely helpful. She was quick to respond with answers to questions. She was able to meet with us before the wedding, and even stopped by our rehearsal to take a look at the venue. Her itinerary for pictures the day of the wedding was great. She really was a joy to work with and made our day easier. And the pictures turned out beautifully!
