    Best photographer ever!

    We had the pleasure of working with Kristine Marie Photography on three separate occasions. Kristine photographed our engagement photos, our wedding day, and our reception the following day. We have never had professional photos taken so we didn’t really know what we were getting into. Kristine met us at the Iron Mountain Trailhead in Poway on a nice October evening shortly before sunset for our engagement photos. Kristine led us through the photo session where the photos came out amazing. When we were planning our wedding photographer we immediately thought of Kristine. We got in contact with her and scheduled both future dates. We were married at the San Diego County Administration Building in June 2023. We arrived downtown for our ceremony & immediately met up with Kristine. Kristine knew of all the magical photo areas to photograph ourselves and our families. We were lucky that Kristine had photographed multiple weddings at this location so she knew how to get around the building easily. Kristine also was able to photograph our wedding reception at the Stone Brewery in Escondido. She was able to capture many family photos as well as candid's during the reception. We received all of the photos, and were 100% satisfied. My family and friends were also so happy with the photos & very impressed with Kristine's professionalism, talent, and willingness to make our special days go so smoothly. We will be using Kristine again for our family pictures each year. Kristine Marie Photography is very fair priced & with her knowledge and professionalism it was worth every penny. My only recommendation is to book her in advance as her schedule does book up.

    Creating magic through photography

    From the moment I met Kristine I instantly liked her. Looking for a wedding photographer can be stressful but she made it an absolute pleasure - it felt like I was working with a best friend.

    From our first call to the day of my wedding she was a dream. She made the experience fun, was always prepared, organized, and one step ahead... which is priceless as the Bride. And to top it off, my MOH was pregnant and on the day of my wedding she offered to do a little pregnancy shoot for her - this meant the world to me and my MOH.

    Once we received our wedding photos I was almost in tears. Kristine was able to not only capture our beautiful day but she did so in the way I always dreamed my wedding photos would look. My husband and I are eternally grateful for her support throughout our wedding planning process and having beautiful pictures which will last a lifetime.

    Beautiful Photography

    Kristine was a pleasure to work with from the get-go. She has a likable, calm, professional approach with her clients and clearly has a passion for high quality photography that truly captures the best moments. She was very flexible when things didn't quite go according to plan, so it minimized the stress for all of us so we could focus on enjoying our event. I highly recommend her for any special occasion!

    Exactly what you need!

    Kristine did an amazing job photographing our November wedding. She was on time, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable while they were being photographed. Both myself and my husband dislike having pictures taken, yet she was able to capture authentic expressions for both portraits and candids. Our wedding had an unusual schedule and elements, but she was able to tailor a photography package that was a good fit.

    Amazing experience for engagement and wedding photos

    Everything was fantastic about working with Kristine, from our engagement shoot to wedding photos and the album we ordered from her. She is responsive, easy to work with, and produces some beautiful shots. We also loved the candids that Kristine and her assistant captured of our guests. Would 100% recommend working with her!

    Dream Wedding Photograghy

    I really enjoyed working with Kristine and her assistant Vin. My husband had so many good things to say working with Vin, he can be shy in front of the camera and Vin made him feel like they were old friends. Our dreams came true with the most gorgeous photos on sunset cliffs.

    Perfect Surprise Engagement Photographer!

    Professional. Personable. Every step of this process, Kristine was an absolute joy to work with! Wonderful communication before and during the engagement shoot. The final images turned out fantastic! We couldn’t be more satisfied working with Kristine!

    Picture Perfect

    Kristine was amazing! We were worried that we would look awkward during our engagement photos but she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We ended up having a lot go fun and knew we were in good hands for the wedding. She came up with a photography timeline for us to include the first look and family photos that we wanted. She taught us how to pose and look our best and always checked in to make sure that we weren't too tired or uncomfortable with a shot. She is very professional and easy to work with and you can tell she is passionate about photography. We are so excited to see what our wedding photos will look like, and if our engagement photos were any indicator, we know they'll be amazing.

    Kristine was amazing! She helped us with both engagement photos and wedding photos, and everything came out amazing! Initially, Kristine was thorough, friendly, and professional as made sure we understood all the expectations. For our engagement shoot, Kristine scoped out all the locations in advance, and taught us to look our best as we modeled in our old stomping grounds! And at the wedding, we heard from more than a half-dozen guests that Kristine was extremely professional and very impressed by how well she conducted herself. The pictures turned out incredible and an amazing reminder of our special day. Thanks Kristine!

    Kristine and her team are the very best! The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, starting with Kristine answering our millions of questions, offering advice, and customizing our timeline and package to fit our every need and want. The photography on our wedding day was comfortable and fun. The entire team are true professionals who made us feel at ease. And most of all, the final product!! The photos are bright, classic and just so gorgeous. Family and friends are in awe at how quickly we received them, and how brilliant they are. It really was the perfect day, and we am forever grateful to Kristine Marie Photography for capturing it.

    Kristine was amazing! I'm not a huge fan of taking pictures and my wife and I were a little nervous about it feeling awkward during our sessions. Kristine made us feel super comfortable from the start. She found some amazing spots for us to take pictures for both our engagement photos and after the ceremony. All the photos were edited and sent to us in a timely fashion and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Kristine has such a great eye for photography and just a natural talent with people. If you can hire her do it now!

    We hired Kristine for our engagement shoot and wedding. Kristine Marie photography is very professional and knowledgeable! She was very thorough and made us feel at ease during our stressful wedding planning. Kristine is a 10/10 across the board! before the shoot she will get to know you and your style, she will make sure that all your needs are met, during the shoot her relaxed and fun personality makes her easy to work with. After the shoot, she will keep you informed of the process. First class all the way, we will hire again for some family portraits.

    We found Kristine online when looking for a photographer who knew the Pacific Beach area. We were looking for a specific style - photos that looked natural and not filtered or edited much. We also wanted someone who was extremely professional, creative, and able to take charge with her clients. I wanted someone who could tell me where to put my hand where to look and when to smile and not. Kristine did just that!

    Kristine was extremely flexible throughout our entire journey with her. We wanted to do our engagement photos in two locations at two different times of the year. With a small extra fee (very reasonable) she agreed to do just that. At both shoots she was there early, prepared with poses, and very fun to work with.

    Leading up to the wedding Kristine was SO helpful. She provided the complete timeline which we were able to edit to our liking and then give to other vendors. That made life a lot easier. She also had various helpful suggestions from prior experience. When I showed her some ideas for photos she took them to heart and remembered on the day-of.

    The day of Kristine and her assistant were there and ready to roll! She was energetic and very professional. She stayed true to the timeline and got the various family and bridal party shots we had discussed. It's always important to remember it's a live event, so some shots didn't turn out as we might have hoped from one reason or another, but it wasn't for a lack of effort or preparation. We got about 700 shots back that were up to the company's standards.

    We received our photos in less than a month! This was so awesome and unexpected. There was great attention to detail on the packaging and USB drive - a nice touch!

    Overall, we were very happy with Kristine Marie Photography. :)

    Email Kristine? Expect to get a response back within the hour. Feeling uneasy about being the center of attention and taking a million pictures? Kristine will put you at ease. Want a stellar photographer and create a relationship to last a life time? I mean a lifetime, like maternity pictures, future children birthdays, other big events? Pick Kristine Marie Photography. Kristine photographed my engagement, boudoir, and wedding pictures. The reason I keep going back is because she is just that good. Kristine was always prompt and super professional each and every time. She honestly feels like a friend rather than a "wedding vendor". I seriously can't thank her enough for the guidance and amazing pictures that will last a LIFETIME. Thanks Kristine!!

    Kristine was great to work with! She was quick to respond to email and got our photos back to us very quickly. She was very friendly and made us feel comfortable during the photo shoot. She was also resourceful... She made me a floral crown from a couple twigs from a tree. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun photo shoot, and natural and beautiful photos.

    We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. We knew from the moment we met Kristine that she was the photographer for us. It was meant to be just like our marriage.

    A few of my friends warned me that their photographers took FOREVER to get their images to them. One of my friends said here took a whole year! That was one of the things we really loved about Kristine. She was very professional and got us the images on both the engagement pics and wedding in weeks!
    She is fast, but the images definitely did not suffer. Our pictures were so amazing. There were so many good ones that we had a really hard time picking which ones to put in our album. We got married at Fairbanks Ranch clubhouse in Rancho Santa Fe, and the images were so amazing that they put us on the cover of the Fairbanks Living Magazine, and did a write up on our wedding, including several of our wedding pictures.

    Kristine made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera- even my camera shy husband! She also thought of everything, from timeline, to lighting. We highly recommend Kristine and can't imagine our wedding memories without her and her images.

    We highly recommend Kristine as a photographer for your wedding or any other special event. She has an eye for detail and captured truly beautiful moments on our wedding day. She is very professional and very well organized making for a perfect stress free wedding day.

    Kristine did an amazing job capturing our day perfectly! We hired Kristine for our engagement and wedding photos and she was awesome. Not only were the pictures beyond anything we could have expected, Kristine is just a wonderful person to work with. She was professional, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures she got of our wedding are unreal. We are reliving our wedding everyday through the photos. We would highly recommend Kristine!

    Kristine did our engagement pictures and will be shooting our wedding next April. It has been a pleasure to work with her. She explained everything thoroughly at our first meeting and sent us a helpful welcome packet after we signed our contract. The packet included recommendations for other vendors which helped us find our DJ! She checked in with me at every step, confirming that she got the contract then confirming the date/time/place of the engagement shoot. She made us feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun during the shoot. I felt like she got our vibe and didn't ask us to do any poses that felt unnatural for us. She was happy to include our dog in our pictures, which was important to us, and she accommodated my request for a specific shot, even when it meant moving to a new location. Her turnaround time was so fast! We got our pictures within a couple weeks and were able to use one on our save the dates. She has made this process feel like a celebration for us, not like just another wedding. I'm very excited to have her as our wedding photographer and highly recommend her!

    If I had to choose 3 words to describe Kristine's work they would be: professional, artistic, amazing

    After doing extensive research on a maternity photographer we chose Kristine due to her prompt responses to our inquiries, her good package rates and offerings, her great reviews, and how warm and courteous she was in our correspondence.

    Leading up to the shoot she gave tips on what to wear, how to prepare, etc. We had a location in mind and she was more than happy to work there. She even suggested an additional location close by for variety.

    On the day of the shoot Kristine was prompt and greeted us with a warm smile. She gave us great direction and made us feel extremely comfortable and me very beautiful (which can be hard considering that I was 7- months pregnant at the time). She took the time to get to know us and that really showed in our photos.

    Our photos came out more amazing than we could ever imagine. Everyone who sees them is awestruck at Kristine's artistic genius. She captured the love we have for each other and our unborn child perfectly.

    We are so glad that we chose Kristine for our maternity photos and would highly recommend her.

    I would recommend Kristine Marie Photography to anyone looking for engagement photos. My fiance and I chose to do our engagement photos with Kristine and right away when my fiance showed me her website, I instantly fell in love with her photography and knew she would be perfect for our engagement photos. She responded right away to our email about setting up a session. My fiance and I were out of town and did not know the area very well so Kristine gave us a list of locations we could have our engagement session. We decided on the La Jolla Cove. It was gorgeous! My fiance was as calm as can be while me on the other hand was nervous. Kristine instantly made me feel at ease and made me laugh. In the end, I really enjoyed the session. I absolutely loved her personality and her love for photography. Once our session was completed, she gave us the details that our preview gallery would be completed in two weeks. This actually was completed a week early, so we viewed all our pictures and they were absolutely stunning. I loved every single one! We provided her our favorites and she turned those around quickly as well. It was just a great experience working with Kristine.

    I am SO happy I chose Kristine to be my photographer for my wedding. After seeing her previous wedding albums and meeting with her, my husband and I were sold. We hired Kristine to do our engagement and wedding photos. After doing our engagement photo shoot I knew she would take amazing wedding photos as well. I was very impressed with how Kristine had great visions for shots and would help us pose. Kristine made the shoot feel very comfortable and helped us feel at ease. Her photos came out beautiful, romantic and just naturally stunning.

    Not only is Kristine a fabulous photographer, but she is incredibly organized. I was in constant contact with her before the wedding. She made sure she knew about everything that was going on and made timelines for the photos. I felt completely at ease knowing she was on top of things, there were no surprises.

    The day of the wedding went flawlessly. I knew I did not need to worry about what was going on with the photos because she is experienced and she knew what to do. The day of the wedding I got compliments from most of my guests saying how much they liked Kristine. They liked all of her creative shots, dedication, and energy. My family and friends all were so pleased and impressed with the end results of our photos. My wedding photos are breathtaking and will be timeless. To this day when someone mentions my wedding they compliment the gorgeous photos. I am so glad we hired Kristine for our wedding. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants to work with a professional, talented, and just lovely person.

    Kristine is much more than an excellent photographer, she's personable, caring, helpful, detail oriented, thoughtful, energetic....and the list goes on. Being photographed made me so nervous but right away she calmed my nerves with her humor and fun, easy going personality. She made us very comfortable from the start.
    When you hire Kristine she almost seems like your wedding planner! She gave us preferred vendors, a mock up timeline of events for the day of, so many tips and tricks to planning a wedding as well as chocolates and champagne to celebrate!
    We couldn't be happier with how our engagement photos came out and I can't wait to see how our wedding photos end up!
    Kristine was the best decision we've made - I'm sure more reviews will come after our big day! :)

    Kristine is simply amazing to work with and her professionalism is incredible! She is extremely detailed and there will be no doubt that she will deliver on the big day (unlike other vendors). She had my wedding photos edited and delivered within a few short weeks and I am in love with them! Kristine exceeds expectations in all that she does and I highly recommend her without reservation.

    My experience with Kristine was above exceptional. She took my business headshots and they turned out absolutely amazing! Since we are both in the wedding industry, she immediately knew what I mean when I said I didn't want the traditional business-like head shot. We threw some ideas back and forth and nailed down a style and location that was perfect.

    Kristine had a lot of great ideas for creative yet still professional photos that I could use to promote my business. We settled on Balboa Park. She new the area and efficiently worked to get the most out of the hour together. What I really loved about our session was that she listened to my ideas and incorporated them into her style of photography.

    I don't really like getting my picture taken and in looking at the proofs you could tell I was a little tense. However, as the session went on, Kristine's fun yet professional personality really put me at ease and I actually had fun being a "model" for a short time! The pictures don't lie, she nailed it! My head-shots are amazing, creative, and professional.

    I very highly recommend Kristine Marie Photography. She is professional, friendly, punctual and most importantly, takes pride in her customer service (which seems to be a lost art now days). Hire her, you won't be disappointed!

    Before we found Kristine we contacted several photographers and they are either not as responsive/reliable as we would like, professional or their prices are off the chart. We are so glad to have found Kristine, luckily she managed to meet all of our expectations: she is very professional, very responsive and her work is of quality surprisingly for the price she charges.

    We never had our pictures professionally taken before and were pretty nervous how this whole thing works, but Kristine totally put our minds at ease through the whole process from the first phone call to the day we received our final edited photographs. She answered tons of questions via emails in a timely manner and put us at ease with our concerns. She was there for us from the beginning to end. She gives excellent directions on the day of the shoot, she is super quick and knows exactly what she need from us to get that great shot.

    Kristine is also very accommodating. We had to change the date on her last minute and she was able to squeeze us in her busy schedule. By the way, we got our beautiful edited photographs way ahead of her turnaround time, how awesome is that! Hire Kristine! You will not regret it!

    We hired Kristine as our wedding photographer, but just off of our engagement shoot with her I can say with confidence that we found the best photographer for our occasion! Let me start by saying I was apprehensive about our engagement shoot and had more of a "let's get this over with" attitude. That immediately changed when I saw Kristine. Her energy is contagious! In about 15 minutes she got me from feeling awkward and apprehensive to "let's do this, I feel amazing!". Then we saw the photos and I was blown away! She brought out the best in us but we still looked totally natural. Her lighting tricks were fantastic, and her direction for us was perfect. We honestly felt like we were on a fun little date and just happened to be getting photographed. Also, Kristine goes above and beyond to make every detail of her work look beautiful and professional. You won't just get info with her pricing and contract, you'll get a lovely little package with all kinds of tidbits and details! She won't just post your photos on an online gallery; you might find you and your fantastic photos featured on her blog with a sweet story about you that she wrote based on your conversations with her! (BTW, this looks amazing on your wedding website, we've gotten so many great comments on what she did! It practically looks like we hired a PR group to cover our engagement!!) In addition, Kristine has been in constant communication with us also, and always responds right away when I've had questions. She's truly there for you to give you the best experience possible! She is priced very competitively as well. There are photographers out there for less money, however I don't see how they could compete with the quality or integrity of Kristine's work. We originally hoped to spend less on a photographer, but if I had to do it all again, I would spend MORE for her services and sacrifice something else! She's a rare find, and if you get the chance to book her, DO IT before someone else does!!

    Perfect Proposal Memories!!

    I would highly recommend Kristine for your engagement/proposal photography.

    My fiance hired Kristine for proposal photography followed by an engagement shoot. The main kicker: it was all supposed to be a surprise.
    Kristine did an amazing job in that regard, I didn't know he had hired a photographer up until the moment where he pointed her out after we proposed. Kristine was so lovely and helpful and quickly explained how we were about to have a short engagement session.

    During the whole session, she was helpful, encouraging, and reassuring. She prompted us with cues (my fiance and I tend to struggle with being natural in photographs) and we never felt awkward or posed. She also helped create a peaceful and romantic vibe that definitely helped us get into the photos and forget were on a very crowded and public beach.

    Although she had prepared us for a 14 day wait to see the final proofs, she was gracious enough to share a sneak peak the day after the session, and actually delivered the proofs well before a week was up. The photos were gorgeous. Her style was casually romantic, glowy and serene, perfect for a sunset beach proposal. Her packages were reasonably priced and were a good value at every tier. She also allows you to purchase all the photos for digital download at a very reasonable cost as well. She encouraged us to purchase prints from her lab, but was not at all pushy. We ended up purchasing prints that I received today and they were STUNNING.

    We were planning to have an engagement shoot for save the dates and our wedding website, but after receiving Kristine's photos we decided to forgo those and use the ones she took instead, they truly were that perfect.

    We have loved working with Kristine so far. The interview and booking processes were simple and easy. The photos from our Engagement shoot were phenomenal and we've gotten so many compliments on them. She is very nice and personable and helped us feel more comfortable having our pictures taken when we normally aren't a touchy feely couple. We look forward to seeing her magic at our wedding!
