Ashley M. Sent on 07/11/2023A dream come true!
Having Kristen photograph our wedding was a dream come true! I originally found her IG about 1.5 years out from our wedding and instantly fell in love with her work. It is bright, timeless, and so classy! We knew her work would compliment our black-tie wedding perfectly! She is very experienced in the wedding industry and knew all of our vendors which made planning so much easier. We loved having vendors that have worked with each other, because it created such a cohesive environment. We also loved that she included an engagement shoot with the wedding booking. It made such a difference on our wedding day and made us feel so comfortable with her! After those 3 hours, we felt like we knew her forever. Our wedding day was perfect, and I have no doubt that Kristen played a role in making it the perfect day for us! She made sure we were able to truly be in the moment and enjoy every second. I didn't have to stress about what pictures to get or where to be because she knew exactly what we wanted without us even mentioning it! It was incredible!! After getting our teasers (THE NEXT DAY!!) we knew we needed a physical copy of our pictures in an album. They were STUNNING - so timeless, polished, and bright. She truly puts her all into her work, and you can see that in the photos. We love how she was able to capture all of our favorite moments and especially how she took some incredible candid shots of my grandpa (those are some of my favorites). We love reliving the day through her work. Kristen is THE BEST and we are so honored that we had her photograph our weddingKristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Ashley! This glowing review made ME glow! Thank you so much for the kind words. It was my pleasure to be a part of your big day! -

Amazing photos--terrific experience!
Kristen Solis from Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits was absolutely incredible! She and her team captured the most beautiful photos for our destination wedding at Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa & Casino. From our very first conversation, Kristen was awesome, very knowledgable and so easy to work with. The pictures that she and her team took on our wedding day were breathtaking and the finished photo albums were nothing short of amazing! We would highly recommend Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits to anyone looking for a truly professional photo experience! Philip & LeAnne PestrichelloKristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Thank you so much Phil & LeAnne! I loved getting to be part of your wedding day. Your review means so much to me! -

Kristen is incredible at what she does, and my husband and I would love to work with her again for our future life milestones! We feel so lucky to have found her and had so much FUN working with her. Professional and caring, she is also an artist whose gorgeous photos will tell the story of your love in a way that feels like *you* and capture memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for a lifetime. Her natural, classic style and easygoing personality made choosing her the easiest decision of our wedding planning journey. If she is available for your wedding date, do not hesitate to book her! Once you do book her, get ready to enjoy complete peace of mind in the days to months leading up to the big event, knowing your photos will turn out beautifully and that on the day-of, you can be totally present with your spouse-to-be, family, and friends.
If helpful, we’re happy to share specifics about our wedding planning experience with Kristen, which was excellent from start to finish:
- Discovery / Booking / Packages: After finding Kristen on Instagram while searching for Las Vegas-based photographers, we fell in love with her work—we were struck by how she brought out the unique personalities of each couple, each one just looking so good! It gave us hope that we, who have never considered ourselves photogenic, could also look that good! (Lol! But seriously) We reached out using her website form, and within a couple days, she responded over email, patiently answering our questions and inviting us to a Zoom intro call to learn about potentially working together. On the call, we felt immediately at ease with Kristen. She asked a couple questions about our story as a couple (e.g. how we met) and our plans for the wedding (still rough at the time), producing an example timeline specific to our event. Afterward, she shared a couple package options that were customized to that timeline, from which we ultimately chose one with fewer photography hours (since we weren’t doing as many traditional reception events, e.g. toasts) but with albums (one for us and 2 smaller parent albums). I should also mention that before we booked, Kristen held our wedding date for 3 months while we finalized our venue contract, and we are so grateful for her generosity!
- Engagement session: Kristen was able to accommodate our engagement session 11 months before our actual wedding date at a time when we would be in Vegas from out-of-state. She helped us pick our location, noting which site would be less ideal weather-wise given the time of year. My husband and I had never been photographed professionally, and despite having read Kristen’s handy wedding planning guide, weren’t quite sure what to expect. Kristen started by posing us in a close embrace, which made us feel safe and comfortable. Over the course of the next 90 minutes, we relaxed and started to enjoy ourselves! The session gave us a new way to express affection for each other—power-posing is A Thing, so I guess it’s no surprise that romantic poses can stir up the feels too! Kristen shared a handful of teasers a couple of days later, and the online gallery was available within the week. The results blew us away—the lighting, the posing, the candid expressions of joy and love she captured—we were over the moon! We used our favorite in our Save-the-Date, posted a mini-version of the gallery on our wedding website, framed more to hang in our home, used another photo in our invitation and a framed one as our alternative guest book for guests to sign the frame.
- Planning: 1 month before the wedding, we had a check-in Zoom call with our wedding planner and Kristen to review the timeline, our family shot list, and what items my husband and I needed to bring for the day of for things like detail shots. Kristen also provided helpful guidance around decisions like which direction to face when starting our First Dance in order to optimize the shot of our final dip!
- Wedding photography: This is where we really had fun!! Being photographed by Kristen and Kayla with our closest friends and family as we celebrated in such a beautiful setting was more special than we could have imagined. Kristen and Kayla took great care of our entire wedding party, often checking in verbally to make sure we were doing okay, and after the sun went down, even bringing over my jacket when they noticed I was shivering outside on that unseasonably cold Vegas evening! The next afternoon, we were amazed to receive tens of teasers from the wedding, which felt like a complete album! 3 weeks later, again faster than expected, we received the full online gallery, and were overjoyed to relive the wedding and experience the rest of the night through Kristen and Kayla’s eyes. In addition to the formal family portraits (where everyone even in our 21-person shot looked fantastic of course), we really enjoyed the candid shots of our friends and family dancing. Kristen and Kayla did an amazing job including most everyone in the reception coverage; our family was so impressed yet again and grateful to have so many happy memories captured.
- Albums: After reviewing / approving Kristen’s proof, we received the albums in the mail today, and they are simply WOW. The photos are already gorgeous on a screen, but viewing them on high quality print arranged skillfully by Kristen, we are being transported back into the story of that evening. Magical! We cannot wait to enjoy these with our families for years to come.

So Much Fun To Work With!
Kristen was absolutely amazing! We did a destination wedding which can be challenging when getting your vendors on the same page, but Kristen was always responsive, super flexible with our budget and planning, and produced the most amazing photos for our big day. She did an engagement shoot for us a few months before the wedding which was super nice to get to know her and make our meeting on the wedding day even more smooth. She is incredibly professional, got all of our photos super quick, and I would 100% recommend hiring her for your special day!Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Thank you so much Erin! It was so great to be a part of your and Michael's big day! Such a lovely finale to our 2022 weddings. -

Hire kristen marie photography
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
When we first got engaged, the first vendor my husband and I sought out was photography. It was so important to us to have our special day captured just as we wanted, and Kristen delivered flawlessly.
I was lucky to already have a connection with Kristen since she shot my sister's wedding the year prior, and my family was overwhelmed with of course her beautiful photography but also her professionalism, patience, and organization. Weddings are already hectic and crazy, but her demeanor was always calm which made us feel like we can truly live in the the moments we were sharing rather than rushing through the day.
Kristen provided us great advise and options for shoot locations, flexibility, and of course styling/posing tips that made it seem effortless. With a large family, we added shots that were not originally planned, and of course she accommodated without any hesitation.
We love her timeless and classic style of photography that will last a lifetime. We are so thankful for Kristen and cannot recommend her enough!Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Oh my gosh, thank you so much Erica! Your words are so kind and sweet! Love being a part of your wedding! -

Bridget C. Sent on 10/25/2022We Love Kristen's Photography - Highly Recommend
Kristen was an amazing photographer from the beginning booking stages through getting our final photos back!
From the very beginning, Kristen was so helpful in helping us plan our engagement photo shoot. Las Vegas was a destination wedding for us, so we wanted the engagement shoot to be something special! She helped us do an amazing shoot on the Strip during the day were we got pictures at about 3-4 different properties and they were stunning! I am still obsessed with our pictures at the Bellagio Fountains. The guest book she created from this shoot is amazing and we have it on display at all times.
Then leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was great in helping finalize our timeline with our wedding planner and confirming our shot list.
The day of the wedding could not have been better! Kristen and Lisa were so great at capturing our day and giving us photos that we will love forever. We cannot wait to have the full wedding album and get prints to put in our home. She gave us sneak peaks so quickly after the wedding that were beautiful and the final album is ever better!
I highly recommend Kristen to any couple who is looking for skilled, professional, prompt, and kind photographer. She was the best!Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
What an amazing review! Thank you so much Bridget! Loved being a part of your and Cameron's wedding day! -

I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer capable of capturing those special moments that make you tear up when you look back on your wedding day.

Creative, Professional and Flexible Photographer
Kristen was excellent in her communication, punctuality, creativity and flexibility. On a whim, my wife (then fiancé) and I wanted to do a small wedding despite pandemic cancellations. We managed to find Kristen's contact information and reached out within 48 hours of our event. She was very responsive and supportive. She met us at the location and time planned and was very helpful in making our impromptu wedding a success.
Looking back, my wife has said on multiple occasions, that getting Kristen was the second best decision of the day (the best was saying yes to getting married). She would have regretted not getting a professional photographer for the occasion, and Kristen made the memories last.
We have been extremely happy with the outcome of the images and sentiment captured. They are a representation of us and the special day we shared. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely recommend Kristen and her services or use them myself again.Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Thank you so much Joshua! It was my pleasure to be part of your and Maureen's elopement in Las Vegas! -

Kristen was incredible to work with and I will recommend her to everyone! Not only was she super professional, calm, and always happy, her photographs were beautiful - which is really important! Kristen (and her assistance Lacey!) was able to encourage both my husband and I to get great photographs, while still making the process feel natural. She had tricks on how to get natural smiles, which can be helpful under all the pressure of your big day. The teaser photos that she sent out (quickly!) after the wedding were breathtaking and I couldn't wait to see the rest. Plus, she finished getting all the photos done within two weeks - much faster than I expected! Overall, again - I highly recommend Kristen for your day. You won't regret it! -

My husband and I were so happy we chose Kristen to capture our most memorable moments! In the package we chose we were also able to get an engagement shoot in before our wedding which made us more comfortable on our wedding day!

Regan Sent on 06/09/2021We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer.
Kristen was absolutely perfect to work with in every way. She was responsive before the wedding, gave direction when taking photos, listened to our wants/desires for images, organized through the whole process, and efficient in taking and getting the edited photos back to us. We are having trouble narrowing down our favorite images from our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. The poses are natural and fun and the editing of the photos is clean and bright. We have received endless compliments on the photos we had taken by her. Coming from out of state we were worried about how smooth it would all go and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We will be returning to Las Vegas in the future with our future children just to have photos taken by Kristen.Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Thank you so much Regan! Future babies, yay! :) I'd love to photograph you and Zack again one day. Your words are so kind! -

Best wedding photographer in Vegas!
Kristen was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. She was so knowledgeable, professional and exceptionally timely every step of the way, from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. She helped us with our timeline for the day and made sure we got shots of every detail. Her style of photography is soft and romantic, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding photos. Several friends have commented that our photos look like they could be printed in a wedding magazine! That was all Kristen. I cannot recommend her enough. She even selected the photos and created our wedding album for us, which turned out stunning. She really captured all of the feelings and special moments perfectly.Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits's reply:
Thank you so much Jennifer! You and Tom were such a joy to photograph and get to know. Your family is so beautiful!
