    Bright, beautiful, genuine photos!

    Kristen and Sheridan were both amazing to work with! The minute I saw Kirsten's work, the bright, beautiful photos and genuine happiness shown, I knew I'd found the perfect photographers! We honestly narrowed down our wedding date based on their availability! We got to know them both better at our engagement session, which was so fun, natural and easy. We got great instructions and also had the ability to just go with the flow. Our wedding day was captured beautifully by these wonderful women. The day was filled with smiles, jokes and genuine love from everyone! Highly recommend ❤️

    Thank you so much! We are all still gushing over your portraits (Helen from Brookledge included) and we are using them in some upcoming marketing! :)

    Kristen, Sheridan, and the rest of the team made our special day SO special.

    It’s honestly hard to put in words the incredible experience we had with Kristen Renee Photography. We started out a few months ahead of time with an engagement shoot (which I would HIGHLY recommend) where we got to know each other and Kristen’s style. as two people who are not used to being photographed, we were so thankful for Kristen’s expertise in posing and making us feel comfortable. We used the photos for our save the dates and wedding invitations :)

    In the months leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was always available and helpful in answering all our questions. She even scheduled 2 in depth phone calls where she helped us figure out the timeline of the day and made us feel so comfortable. When we decided we wanted videography as well at the last minute, she directed us to Elmtree weddings and facilitated that. Honestly, I don’t know what we would’ve done without Kristen.

    The wedding day went off without a hitch, and the photos are spectacular. I can’t overstate how important it is to have vendors that work cohesively with each other, and Kristen and her team not only worked well with the other vendors we hired, but actually seemed like FRIENDS. It was obviously the best day of my and my husband’s life (so far ;) ) but it made it extra special to look over and see our photo, video, and DJ team(s) all working so well together.

    Also, just a special shoutout to another member of Kristen’s team, Sheridan (her wife!!!!). They work so incredibly well and it’s honestly inspiring how well a married team can work together :)

    I feel like I could write so much more, but please just use this review as an INSISTENCE that you book Kristen Renee Photography before another couple books her first!!! Thank you so so so so much again, Kristen!!

    Marcela! That filled my heart right up to the top! We are madly in love with you and Tom and your whole family and we're so happy that we were the ones you chose to document your wedding!

    The most comfortable I've ever felt getting pictures taken!

    My wife & I were just married on October 14th, 2023 and we had the absolute pleasure of working with Kristen!! We had set up photos prior to the ceremony so she could capture some of the getting ready process and while taking pictures she kept checking in to make sure we were feeling/doing okay. After the ceremony my wife & I set out with Kristen to do our wedding portraits and she made being in front of the camera feel so easy and comfortable. Letting us talk and have candid moments to ourselves and then setting us up with an assortment of poses. She was one of our biggest hype women that day! We've since received some of our photos as a sneak peek and we were BLOWN AWAY. If we ever need a photographer in the future Kristen will be our first choice! Thank you for everything!!

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for this sweet and thoughtful review! You two were super easy to work with and I loved my time spent with you!

    True professionals!

    Kristen Renee Photography and her team were true professionals for our wedding! They were easy to work with, communicative, and responsive. On the day of our wedding, they captured all the moments big & small beautifully. They were gems when working with the young children in our family, and knew lots of little tricks to keep them engaged and happy during the family portraits. The portrait session was fun and laid back. Kirsten gave great directions and we got so many good shots. Overall Kirsten & Sheridan went above and beyond, and well exceeded our expectations. And of course they were so kind and made us feel at ease the whole day.

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Your wedding was SO unique and beautiful! One of a kind, truly, and we were so happy to be part of it!

    Wonderful!

    Down to earth, warm & kind human, bonus that she takes beautiful photos. We worked with Kristen for our engagement and wedding. She is a wonderful person and we are so pleased with our photos. She is communicative and listened to our vision. She took the time to capture small details. We recommend Kristen and her Spouse as well!

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Melody! You and Mike were incredibly easy to work with and I'd be happy to photograph your family again in the future!

    Simply the best

    Kristen was warm, confident, friendly, supportive, and so easygoing. She captured every core memory, and even some we weren't present for during the moment! Kristen is extremely talented in photography and is so knowledgeable and helpful!! She also reminded us to take it all in, in the moment and is truly one of a kind. We feel lucky that Kristen was there to capture our day.

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    I feel lucky to know you and Nik and I was honored to photography your beautiful wedding! You two have a genuine love that shines through!

    All I Can Say Is…. WOW!

    I don’t even know where to begin, but I’m going to try!

    My wife and I got married back in September 2023 and Kristen was actually referred to us by our DJ, Mo Haskins. I am beyond grateful for that referral - Kristen was absolutely phenomenal to say the least. We were planning a backyard wedding, so I obviously had a TON of questions and needed a lot of guidance throughout the planning process. Kristen was there to answer any questions I had with her positive and quirky responses. She really had a way of making the planning process fun, let alone the actual wedding day!

    Kristen and Sheridan showed up early and immediately jumped right in. I honestly only had to show them my wife, our dresses/shoes, rings and pups, and they took charge and got right to it! It was like they weren’t even there - seriously… some of the moments they captured I hadn’t even noticed them catching the shot at all.

    When the wedding actually started, Kristen and Sheridan were extremely professional and did everything they could to make the day about US. We busted through the wedding party and family photos in a flash. I didn’t realize how fast the day goes and Kristen and Sheridan really made sure we pushed through the formalities to get to the fun stuff (eating, drinking, dancing).

    We really felt so comfortable working with them. My wife does not normally do well posing for pictures; nervous, anxious, fidgety. Kristen and Sheridan made her feel like a natural in front of the camera. They made us feel like movie stars! On more than one occasion since the wedding, my wife has said Kristen is the only one she wants photos taken from in the future, which says a lot since we live in North Dakota (we had our wedding in upstate NY).

    I could go on and on about how much we appreciate this company, but bottom line…. If you want good people who appreciate you for who you are, respect you and your desires, put YOU first on your wedding day, AND capture incredible memories from one of the most important days of your life - you have to choose Kristen Renee Photography. We are so happy we did :)

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Erin... our hearts are so full from your words! This is literally the more thorough and thoughtful review we have ever received. You and Mandy are top of the list for our favorite weddings from 2023 and we've been using your images on almost all of our marketing because your day was SO beautiful! Fly us out to North Dakota or come back to Albany and we will do all your photos for life!

    Couldn't ask for better!

    I cannot possibly thank Kristen and Sheridan enough for making our wedding day so special. We booked Kristen for our wedding in August and the quality of service we received is more than we could have asked for. Kristen and Sheridan were incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire day and were so considerate of our wedding party and guests. We received a massive gallery of stunning, fully edited photos soon after the wedding and we were beyond thrilled with the shots. Thank you for capturing the magic of our special day, we will cherish these photos forever. I would recommend Kristen to absolutely anyone looking for a kind, passionate and professional photographer for their wedding day!

    Thank you Mitchell! It's one of my favorite things when a GROOM takes time to leave us a review! Your wedding was a dream and I'm so happy we got to share it with you!

    The Best Experience

    Kristen was absolutely amazing to work with since the day we contacted her! She was a great communicator and so down to earth. She made myself and everyone else involved in pictures feel so comfortable and her laid back but professional vibes were very appreciated! She went above and beyond on the day of our wedding making sure we got all the shots in we wanted before the rain started. She even saved the day by having a crochet hook for my mother to use to help button my dress. On top of all this, we absolutely LOVED our photo's!

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for this review! It makes us really happy to know that we took care of you like that and how much you love your photos!

    An energetic and amazing experience

    Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and diligent work ethic resulted in a massive album of photos for us to constantly reflect on and relive our EPIC day. She was friendly, polite, professional, and downright hilarious. Couldn't recommend her enough!

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Dan!!! I was so thrilled that your wedding was one of my last of the year. What a great way to end the season! I wish all the best to you and Courtney!

    Would give one million stars if possible

    We can not say enough wonderful things about Kristen and her team. From the very beginning we had an amazing zoom meeting and an incredible engagement shoot. Kristen always made us feel so comfortable even though we were in the middle of a nature preserve posing for photos and at first felt a bit weird about it. We honestly had so much fun and the time flew by so fast. Then came time for the wedding and not only did they help us get through our portraits and family photos, Kristen and her team helped piece together our first look and private vows. We were so happy to have Kristen, Jay, and Sheridan with us for our wedding. Having a queer team at our queer wedding felt wonderful and perfect and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture our day. We got to play around and experiment with photos at the venue and they turned out so beautiful and magical. If you need a good laugh, bad dad jokes, someone so kind and caring, and a genuine good human on your team, look no further. Kristen was the perfect addition to our wedding and we would fight someone if they told us we had to have it any other way #dinosaurclap 😂❤️

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Best. Review. EVER! Thank you so much for all those kind words and for all the laughs we shared at your wedding! I'll be sure to pass this on to the team. Enjoy your first year married!!!

    Amazing!!!

    Kristen did a phenomenal job for our engagement and wedding pictures! She literally climbed into a creek and wandered through a field for our engagement pictures. For our wedding day, Kristen took pictures of everything and shared them all with us (we received over 900 pictures). We are so grateful to Kristen and her team for the memories we can look back on for many years to come. So many guests reached out to tell us how friendly and helpful her and Sheridan were. We can't thank them both enough, and we couldn't have asked for better photographers to capture our day!

    Kristen Renee Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for giving me the OPPORTUNITY to climb into a creek and make fun pictures with you and Leia!

    Kristen gets it!

    Kristen did an incredible job capturing our day! She picked up our vibe pretty immediately even though we didn’t do an engagement shoot. She did a great job capturing our wedding day. She made the process so easy and chill, I definitely needed a lot of help with schedule and timing. She went above and beyond to make sure we captured all our special moments and to find cool photo spots, which was seriously so kind. We appreciate you, Kristen! We will cherish these photos forever.

    Kristen makes everything easy

    While planning a wedding in New York from Oregon, having Kristen as our photographer was a huge relief to our planning. It was a joy to have her with us on our big day. She is an expert at what she does, and makes everyone feel so comfortable and fun. Not to mention SO many gorgeous photos. I am thrilled to recommend her for any and all occasions.

    Kristen was a dream to work with. She made us feel comfortable and captured every moment beautifully. We loved how subtle she was taking pictures throughout the big day - it made everything come more naturally. Kristen also managed to find all the best photo spots too!

    Kristen was easy to work with, always fast to respond, and affordable. One of our favorite vendors to work with. 10/10 recommend!

    Loved our photographs... Thank you!!

    Kristen was our photographer for our 11.26.21 wedding. Kristen is very professional, but also a very warm/nice person. I felt like I could be at ease that Kristen has got this! I'm a total introvert who doesn't consider themselves super photogenic, but our portraits came out amazing in particular! Our photos in general/overall may honestly be my favorite part of our wedding, can't wait to get some prints made.

    An absolute dream!

    Kristen was beyond incredible! We had a pre wedding FaceTime call to prepare and ensure both she and we were all on the same page for what the plan was for the wedding day. Fantastic communication throughout the entire process. On the day she was outstanding! She was understanding and extremely helpful in guiding us through all the hustle and bustle of the formal photos and she did an exceptional job capturing candid photos of us, our friends and our family at our wedding. I’ve spent a lifetime despising having my picture taken and Kristen made it so much fun! We can not speak highly enough on behalf of Kristen Renee photography! Thank you so much for everything!

    She's the best!

    Kristen was the best! She was super easy going and made everything fun but could get our family members assembled and whip through those photos in no time. We could be our regular weird selves and didn't feel overly posed. Our photos came out beautifully and we've gotten so many compliments on them. So glad we hired Kristen!

    Wedding day!

    Kristen was absolutely AMAZING to work with! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding day time line, to our wedding day, she answered every question for us and made us feel so comfortable and excited for our big day! My husband and I never had professional photos before, so when it came to our engagement shoot with Kristen, she made us feel so at ease and relaxed. We had a blast! Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and our photos tell such a beautiful story. She captured every important moment and detail, and even with some hiccups with our ceremony officiant, she made it all so stress-free and still was able to get some amazing photos of our wedding! We highly recommend her for every big moment in your life and can’t wait to continue to use her in the future!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Kristen and Jay were awesome photographers for our wedding day. They made the picture-taking process fun and efficient. There were so many photos we wanted and they got through them with time to spare. The photos came out great and we were super happy with them. I'd definitely recommend Kristen to anyone who needs a photographer.
