    We found Kristine through our venue and from numerous recommendations. She was a delight to chat with from the very first meeting. You can tell that she really loves what she does and her passion shines through in her work. We used Kristine for both our engagement session and our wedding. She was so easy to work with and we had a great time in her company.
    Prior to our wedding, we met with Kristine to give her an idea of specific shots we wanted and discuss the overall feel we wanted to capture. She really listened!
    On our big day, Kristine and her associate Nicole were amazing! They were fun and put us at ease. They captured all of our requests and blended right in to the background during our ceremony and reception. Throughout the night, they shared a few images with us so we could see some of the amazing shots they captured and put a number of "sneak peeks" up on social media for us to enjoy. The shots are so amazing that we literally can't wait to see the rest!
    Kristine and Nicole are an amazing duo and we're so glad that we had them with us on our special day!

    Kristine and her crew made us feel like celebrities! The whole team was extremely professional and many of my bridal party commented on how cute they were, and on how easy it was to do all the portraits! I can't have imagined a better person to have captured our day, and I'm lucky to have found her! We can't wait to see all of the pictures!

    We met Kristine at a wedding expo and knew immediately we needed to book her. She has an amazing presence and the assertiveness we knew we would need to wrangle up our crazy group of friends and family! She was always so responsive and it was great how well she took care of us - we knew we didn't have to stress about our photography at all! All of our guests were noticeably impressed with her as well that they came up to us and complimented how much THEY loved her, too! We would book her again in a heartbeat!!

    How many amazing things can I say about Kristine?!?! I met Kristine at a bridal expo and feel in love with her personality and her photos. She is so sweet and easy to talk to that I knew we would get along great on the wedding day. I also loved that her photos were really personal and fresh. They didn't remind me of my parents wedding photos, like some other photographers did. Kristine (and he second shooter Bethany) helped us plan all of the shots we wanted and made sure we were able to have fun and get all of the shots we wanted. They were even able to wrangle my husband and his groomsmen into getting their pictures done in a timely manner. Kristine was very discreet during the ceremony and wasn't in the way of myself or the guests when trying to get the shots she needed. We have only seen a few pictures so far, but what we have seen WE LOVE! We would recommend Kristine to anyone and will continue to use her for other photography needs.

    Kristine is an absolute gem! She was fantastic to work with and really easy to talk to. She's open to a variety of ideas, and getting out engagement photos done by her was an amazing decision. Everything came across naturally in our pictures and we are so happy with the end product. We cannot wait to see the wedding photos when it is done!

    I don’t even know where to begin to tell you how pleased my husband and I were with choosing Kristine Pringle as our wedding photographer. She is AMAZING! We interviewed quite a few different photographers and really fell in love with Kristine from the first moment we talked to her. She is an honest and friendly person, and it is clear she loves her job and is motivated to make her clients happy. We were also thrilled to see that her contract was normal – something that is hard to find these days – and her prices were very reasonable. Her talent and photographs speak for themselves. Not only am I in love with my own wedding photos, but also all the other photos of happy couples and families she has shared on her Facebook page. She is truly talented! When we booked Kristine, we had told her about a specific “special effects” shot that we had seen another photographer do. She was honest in telling us she had not done this type of shot before, but she was willing to try and learn. On the day of our wedding – she nailed it! We were so pleased with having her and her second photographer, Jessica, there the day of our wedding. They were sociable and hardworking, but never intrusive. A lot of times I didn’t even notice them there, yet they captured everything so perfectly! Another plus about Kristine is that she is responsive. I know she was super busy after our wedding day (we got married in June), but she still took the time to send me a few photos right after the wedding that I could use to order thank you cards. I know I will be using Kristine in the future to capture our family photos. She is WONDERFUL, and I am so thankful and happy to have had her as our photographer on our wedding day.

    Kristine and Jessica were absolutely wonderful! They were there when we needed them and joined in the fun on our big day but they were never intrusive or "in the way." They were perfect for our huge families (35 people in our combined immediate families including 14 nieces and nephews) and captured some great shots of everyone! We have used Kristine multiple times in the past and look forward to working with her again in the future.

    Kris is amazing. We used her for both our engagement and wedding photography! My sister used her as well. She is very sweet and does an excellent job with children. She always looks for the best shot and makes it fun while you do it. We look forward to using her for all of our family photography needs.

    Kristine was the perfect photographer for me (Jocelyn too), she was able to photograph every possible moment for me to remember later, and even captured things in an artistic view for beautiful prints. She was very comfortable in the situation and immediately made herself a part of our group!

    So sweet and fun!

    We enjoyed getting to know Kristine throughout the year and half leading up to our wedding. We loved our engagement pictures and she made us feel very comfortable. She made my bridal portraits fun and relaxed. We had her at our rehearsal dinner and she did a great job capturing pictures throughout the night. She and Kevin were awesome on our wedding day. We are so looking forward to getting our pictures back and working with Kristine in the future.

    Kristine and Jessica were absolutely amazing. To start off kristine completed a 45 minute hike to the top of ragged mountain our engagement shoot the photos turned out awesome and the mountain back drop made them extra special. My wedding took place at veritas vineyard where kristine and Jessica made sure they photographed every detail! I highly recommend kristine pringle as a photographer!

    Kristine should be at the top of the wedding wire recommendation list. She was so amazin at our destination wedding at scoping out locations for shots and making sure we maximized time and light all weekend! Amazing and fortunate to have known her.

    Nice but bad experience overall

    Kristine seemed so perfect on the phone and on our actual wedding day was so nice, but working with her overall was a really negative experience. Leading up to it though I should have been more worried that her response time was really really slow - sometimes I had to text, email, and call to get a response. The actual wedding day had so much going on and she was a bubbly person to have around so it seemed great. We didn't realize how bad it was until we got our first round of photos back.

    They were so washed out, almost completely, that many of the faces in photos were almost see through. Even with editing, it improved slightly but you could tell it was just really bad lighting which made me wonder why she let us take all of our photos in one place with that same lighting. She also didn't make sure to check that she had all the must take photos done from the list that I had provided - we ended up without a photo of me and my husband with his immediate family, among a few other important photos we were really hoping to have. As a bride on the day of I figured if I had given her the sheet then I wouldn't have had to double check what photos we have taken but I was wrong. Each time I went back to her and asked for re-edits she would give me a day she'd have them done and I would need to track her down weeks after it multiple times. In the end I just downloaded photoshop and edited all 600 photos she had sent over. In the end I would say I have a couple photos that I love but the overall experience of getting our photos put a real damper on our post excitement from our wedding.

    I'm sure Kristine has been great to other, that wasn't our overall experience

    *I've attached screenshots *

    To start off I just want to say that if Kristine would to have given us our money back or a genuine apology, I would not be on here writing this review. Honestly, I know at this point we will never get our wedding pictures or money back. I write this review in hopes that other couples do not go through the hassle of dealing with her and all the family issues that happen in her life that prevent her from fulfilling her contract.

    I found her booth at the RVA wedding expo, about 6 months before our wedding on Nov. 27 2019. She offered us a good deal and honestly super economic package. We thought she gave us a low price for how talented she is (or at least how beautiful the pictures she promotes look).

    We had a consultation and we made it clear we were only interest in pictures for our wedding, she was our first and most important vendor to us. She offered a mini session (which was part of the contract), we were only interested in the mini session so we could get to know her style and learn her commands for poses. We even told her we didn’t care for those pictures we just wanted to be comfortable with her for the wedding.

    Our first red flag was not hearing back from her up until about a week right before the wedding. At which point we didn’t have time for a mini session and honestly, we blamed ourselves for not reaching out to her earlier. My husband and I even agreed that was totally our fault and we’ll just wing it at the wedding, how difficult can it be.

    Our wedding day went super smooth no complains.

    Our issue began after we never heard back from her.

    Contract stated we would get out pictures about two months after the wedding. Our wedding was the Wednesday right before Thanksgiving. We did not contact her or even bother to contact her because we read the contract and knew it would take her two months, we even took inconsideration of holidays also February is short (probably less time to work on our pictures).

    My husband and I agreed April would be an appropriate date for us to reach out in case she hadn’t done so. Anyways, Covid hit in March and we were both considered “essential” workers and were working long hours. To be honest, we forgot about our pictures.

    I finally decided to reach out in May; Kristine didn’t reply until July.

    She said her father had an open heart surgery diagnosed with cancer and her grandmother had a stroke. In addition to all that, she was super busy rebooking all the brides whom had cancelled weddings due to Covid. We were in the middle of a pandemic and here we were feeling super guilty that I had the nerve to ask for our pictures. We felt terrible and inconsiderate to everything that was happening to her during this time.

    We waited and I decided to reach out in November (one year after our wedding). I was hoping to have the pictures up in our home for our anniversary. But Kristine never replied to my emails, text, or calls (her voicemail is always full). She sent me a link to our pictures in December and I asked her about our USB stick we were supposed to get and she never replied to any of my messages or emails.

    Extremely frustrating!

    Reading the other reviews for Kristine makes me wonder…did we have the same photographer? Working with Kristine was extremely frustrating and hiring her was our biggest regret in our wedding planning process. In person, she is sweet and nice, and her work is about what you’d expect from an average wedding photographer; but getting in touch with her was next to impossible. After we paid her our deposit she was consistently unresponsive to the point where we would have to call her, text her, and message her on facebook over the course of a week before she’d reply…a week later. It took her months (!!) to get our engagement pictures back from her, which was a huge red flag, especially when she would ignore our calls and not give us any updates. We were legitimately concerned that she wouldn’t show up to our wedding (!!). She added completely unnecessary stress and uncertainty to our wedding. I understand that people are busy, but her complete lack of professionalism was mind boggling. It only further infuriated us that when she would finally get back in contact with us, she’d have an obvious excuse…not knowing that we would see her constantly updating her instagram with other work (other wedding shoots, wedding photographer “workshops”, etc.) or vacations that she was taking.

    After the wedding (and countless voicemails, texts, Facebook messages, which, of course, she wouldn’t respond to) it took her about 6 MONTHS (!!) to get our pictures back from her on a USB drive. (To put it in perspective...it took our videographer less than a month). Almost none of the pictures that we wanted edited were edited (despite asking multiple times). We eventually concluded that we would just get the images from her and then pay someone else to edit them as needed. We didn’t get our wedding album until about 9 MONTHS (!!) after our wedding (and again, only after consistent prodding which she, as expected, wouldn’t reply to). I find it hard to believe that in an era of near instantaneous communication, it would take Kristine over a week to reply to a text message asking when we could expect to get our wedding pictures (5 months after our wedding). To say this was frustrating is the understatement of the year.

    Throughout this entire process we were very cool and understanding with her, but without our prodding, we likely would have never gotten our pictures or album. Again, we had to call, text, and facebook message her over the course of several months in order to get her to reply. It’s ridiculous that with the amount of money that we paid her (thousands), we had to hold her hand to get the final product. Do not use Kristine Pringle or her new business, “Sugar and Spice” as your wedding photographer. It will only cause you frustration and unnecessary stress.

    Never Received Photos

    Kristine shot my wedding on 9/18/2021 and has yet to send me my photos. We had a signed contract and i was supposed to receive my photos within 2 months time of my wedding date. I have reached out to her many many times but she hasn’t responded one time. DO NOT go with Kristine Pringle unless you want to be scammed out of your money and wedding photos.
