    Professional & A Friend to Capture Our Special Day!

    Krystal was such an amazing person to work with! From our engagement photos to our special day - she's such a supporter, a friend, professional, and easy to work with! Throughout the day, I felt like she was a calming presence and checked in with me (like making sure I was hydrated!) on our day. I love that she's a dog person and worked so well with Bentley for both our engagement and wedding photos! Krystal is the best!

    Incredible

    Krystal was amazing throughout the whole process. She really got us to open up in front of the camera and captured every single joyous moment of our wedding day (and engagement shoot)! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also so kind hearted. Would highly recommend her!

    Excellent, very professional.

    This is the second time my family worked with Krystal. She always does a great job, very professional and returns photographs in a timely fashion. We are always pleased with her work and would recommend her to anyone looking to capture memories to last a lifetime.

    Family Portraits

    Krystal is amazing! She was able to capture the personalities of my children perfectly. We did a short shoot but I have so many beautiful pictures to choose from. I’m truly grateful for her expertise with the camera and her ability to make my family feel at ease. I highly recommend her!

    A complete delight!

    Krystal is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I have loved working with Krystal from the very beginning. She’s incredibly professional and was flexible and considerate when we had to reschedule our wedding three times because of the pandemic. When we finally had our wedding day, she was so much fun to work with and was very accommodating as far as getting the photos we wanted with the people we wanted, while also making sure we had the time to do the things we wanted to do.
    She also sent us our photos so quickly and they were absolutely stunning! She really captured who we are in such a beautiful way!

    Professional, talented and SO easy to work with! Would give 6 stars if I could!

    Krystal was so, so amazing to work with! I could go on and on. My recommendation, HIRE HER! Krystal made two people who are not used to photoshoots extremely comfortable and confident! She was my husband and I's biggest fan all day long - after every picture she made us feel like a million bucks. She didn't make us do anything we didn't want to do or anything "too corny". She has a knack for capturing candids as well. During our pictures with the bridal party and family she was quick, efficient, yet captured every shot we asked of her. She accommodated our specific requests like photos at our office where we met (luckily it was very close!) and pictures ahead of cocktail hour with our extended family so we can enjoy the party once it started. On top of that, she is the nicest person you will meet and was so fun to be around! I think this is critical because you do end up spending a lot of time together on your big day! Our wedding party loved her and her assistant for the day who was fabulous as well, Caitee. Not to mention, she is SO talented! I am already obsessed with our sneak peak and can't wait to see the rest!!

    Krystal is amazing!!

    Not only is Krystal an awesome photographer and captured our most special moments, she was a pleasure to spend the day with! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, Krystal is a sweetheart and couldn’t have made the experience any nicer!

    Krystal is perfect.

    Krystal was everything I was looking for in a photographer. Professional, kind, organized, affordable, flexible and extremely talented. Krystal is beyond dedicated to making sure your day is captured perfectly. As a COVID couple back from March 2020, amidst the uncertainty, she came out to capture our intimate church ceremony even though our reception was cancelled. I'm so glad we have those beautiful pictures to remember our incredibly special day. After a few more date changes and re-envisioning our day, we finally had a GREAT party. Krystal was there every step, being incredibly supportive by helping shape and capture our big celebration. We are in love with our pictures (and Krystal). You will not regret having her photograph your day! :)

    Krystal is amazing!

    My husband and I knew we wanted to book Krystal as our wedding photographer before we were even engaged! She photographed one of our friends weddings and we were blown away by the quality of the photos and how she was able to capture the most beautiful yet natural moments. When we got engaged in 2019 Krystal was the first vendor we booked. After a quick phone conversation with her we knew she was our photographer. We met her in person 6 months later for our engagement pictures in DUMBO and on the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise. The pictures were stunning and confirmed that we made a great decision booking her for our wedding. Our wedding was originally scheduled for July 2020... COVID changed those plans but Krystal was so supportive and flexible through this very stressful time with postponing. We still wanted to get married but we decided to postpone the reception to 2021. Krystal came to our small church ceremony on our original date and captured the most beautiful moments for us. Fast forward one year later and we finally had our big wedding day! Of course Krystal was nothing short of amazing. I don't need to tell you how beautiful her photos are because you can just look at her gallery to see how talented she is. But she is more than just an amazing photographer, she is a friend! From when we met her at our engagement shoot we chatted the whole time, as if we've known each other for years! On the day of our 2021 wedding the forecast was rain all day. When Krystal walked into my mothers house and I saw that she arrived and it was still raining out, I started to cry. I really wanted outdoor pictures and wasn't sure if it would happen because of the inclement weather. She assured me and promised me we would still get beautiful pictures and she already started researching alternatives where we could take pictures. Immediately I wiped away the tears because I trusted her. We got very lucky because the rain stopped for just enough time for Krystal to work her magic and get many shots of us outside. In fact, the majority of our pictures were outside! She was constantly checking the forecast to make sure we had an umbrella or were under an overhang when the rain was going to start again. On the wedding day multiple people commented on how amazing she was. She's not a photographer who is in your face with the camera. She's very discrete, but she still captures EVERYTHING. Nithya was our second shooter for the day and was amazing as well. She went to my house where my husband was getting ready with the groomsmen and captured many beautiful pictures there! I couldn't be happier that we booked Krystal as our photographer, and worked with her for the past 2.5 years. She is amazing in so many ways and anyone who books with her... consider yourself lucky!

    Krystal is the best!!

    Krystal is the most amazing photographer!! Our wedding planners recommended her and we are so happy we chose to work with her! We first met when she took our engagement photos and instantly clicked! She is such a dream to work with and made us feel so comfortable/natural during the photo shoot. We had to postpone our wedding twice and Krystal was so flexible and accommodating. On our wedding day, Krystal was so organized and professional. She took the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever! I highly recommend hiring her - she's the absolute best!

    Best decision!!

    Krystal was recommended to me by a friend, and I hired her for our wedding before we even spoke on the phone! Best decision ever. Your wedding photographer is going to be with ALL day, so you want to be sure to chose someone who you vibe with. Krystal is super laid back and she’s not in your face with the camera non stop- but somehow she manages to get EVERY single shot and they ALL came out perfect!!! We are so happy with how our photos turned out, and we had access to them within 3-4 weeks of our wedding. Krystal’s pricing is also super reasonable and she does not try to oversell you on things you don’t really need. Do not hesitate to book her!!!

    Krystal Balzer is simply amazing!!!

    From our first phone call, I knew I needed Krystal to capture one of the best days of my life and I’m so happy we got her!!! Krystal is so easy to work with and what makes it even better is she becomes your friend and not just a photographer. I am speechless with the pictures she captured from our wedding day!!! I 100% recommend Krystal Balzer and I can’t wait to work with her again for next milestones in our lives!!!!

    The most wonderful photographer EVER!

    Krystal is truly a FANTASTIC photographer! Not only does she have an amazing eye, she is one of the sweetest and most joyful people to be around!

    From the very moment my husband and I met her during our cold October engagement shoot, she felt like part of the family! Krystal is not only invested in providing TOP QUALITY photos, but she is invested in creating a warm and welcome environment for those she photographs. For someone who is not super comfortable in front of a camera, that was a HUGE DEAL!

    On top of that, we had no problem communicating with her anytime we had questions via email, phone or text. She was always super responsive!

    I could not recommend Krystal Balzer Photography more! With each and every picture she took, she was able to capture all of the most special and magical moments of our wedding day. They are absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever.

    Her turn around time was super quick, quicker than is expected of photographers. She also loves a good teaser! :)

    I am already thinking of the different life events I would like to work with her on in the future.

    xoxo

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    I couldn't be happier that we chose Krystal as our wedding photographer! We had seen her work before, as a few of our friends had used her as well. We knew right away that we wanted to work with her and were so happy that she was available for our wedding day. She was great at answering questions, and when we finally met her for our engagement shoot I knew we made the right choice! She was fun, helpful, and made us feel comfortable. On the day of our wedding, she was SO extremely helpful and made sure everything went smoothly and we didn't miss too much of our wedding day. We recently received the pictures and they are absolutely amazing--capturing every important moment and helping us remember our very favorite day! I would (and have!!) recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of pictures!

    One of the best decisions I made in planning my wedding was hiring Krystal

    Krystal was referred to me by a friend by some miracle. I looked at her photos and I knew immediately I had to go with her. Not only were her photos amazing, but I ended up finding my venue through her because she had shot a wedding there previously. The whole thing felt meant to be. She made the entire process so easy and immediately put me at ease. She was responsive and professional and incredibly sweet. I was debating on a second shooter which ultimately we decided against due to financial constraints but we didn’t even need one. Krystal is like a camera toting ninja in an invisibility cloak. She is like 6 photographers in one package. It was like she was everywhere at once. She got points of view that I can’t even believe for a single shooter. She is an angel sent from heaven and everyone in my bridal party was in love with her. I can’t recommend her enough. She is worth every single penny and more.

    Stunning, Classic, and Timeless Wedding Photos!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Krystal... It poured rain on my wedding day (it was dark and dreary and gross), I was completely prepared for my photos to reflect just that (most/all were taken indoors). Boy was I wrong!! Every photo was absolutely amazing, if you didn't know it - you would've thought the sun was beaming on a warm summer day. Krystal was never frazzled or controlling. She let me have my vision and went with it! She was never obnoxious with photo taking which is hard to find in a photographer, I've attended weddings where they are running across/to and from the aisle during the ceremony. She got incredible shots without causing any interruptions! Krystal was absolutely worth every penny and turned into a great friend! If you're thinking about hiring her.. DO IT!! Trust me, rain or shine on your big day.. photos will not be something you have to worry about with Krystal :)

    ALSO!! She gave me 'sneak peak' pictures the day after the wedding!! And had my photos to me within the month!!!

    Absolutely amazing!

    We used Krystal for our October wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made!

    From our Engagement shoot the previous year, Krystal made us feel super comfortable and shot amazing candids and portraits of us.

    Even though our wedding day was rainy and disgusting, she still made the pictures come out amazing! Definitely recommend her and we plan to use her in the future for anniversary/baby shoots!

    Beautiful wedding photos!

    My husband and I could not be happier with our pictures from our wedding from Krystal! When looking for a wedding photographer, I had a specific style of photos I was looking for (bright, natural, romantic) and Krystal exceeded all expectations! It turned out to be very windy when we were taking pictures with the bridal party, but Krystal made the entire process so easy. She played a large role in making the day so perfect, I wouldn't of changed one thing! We are so happy to relive our special day and have these pictures forever! It was so great to work with Krystal - she treats you like a friend instead of a client, I would highly recommend her to all brides looking for a photographer!! :)

    Krystal is lovely, bubbly, and sweet. You’ll want to be her best friend. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease while she was swiftly directing us and capturing our celebration. I thought we were going to be so awkward - so I am still stunned at how natural it all felt. She is the best of the best!

    Master of Lighting and the Almost Kiss

    Krystal definitely captured the feeling of our wedding. She wasn't afraid to get us to do that "ugly laugh"! All of our pictures are all REAL and HAPPY smiles. She's knows how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera and gives great instructions for those of us who are not models for a living. I really believe that her prices are a great value. Krystal is sweet and professional. I look forward to working with her in the future and you should definitely hire her for your upcoming wedding!

    I love Krystal. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful and easy she is to work with. From the moment I met Krystal she just gives off an amazing energy and put my husband and I at ease. She was incredibly accommodating to what we were looking for in terms of packages and what she could offer us. We did an engagement shoot before the wedding and Krystal has an such an ability to make people feel natural in front of the camera. She's very talented, our pictures came out beautiful. On the day of the wedding she was so easy to work with and took all the pictures that I asked of her. She's also so responsive which is another amazing plus to working with her. I would highly recommend working with her.

    We were so lucky to have found Krystal. We fell in love with her work and personality right from the start. It was like we had known her for years. She was open and flexible throughout the whole experience and captured each moment perfectly. Highly recommend!!

    I cannot praise Krystal enough, and would highly recommend her to all future brides! Her photos themselves are beautiful, and she is incredibly communicative and responsive via email and phone. In-person, she is friendly and professional yet easy-going. She makes everyone feel very at ease.

    Krystal was such a pleasure to work with and made the whole process easy and stress free! We did both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos with her and our photos are beyond beautiful! She really captured every special moment and then some! Not only did she get every photo on the shot list I requested, but she got many more than I ever could have expected.

    She was 100% professional from beginning to end, and was so much fun to work with on the day of the wedding! I cannot thank her enough for going above and beyond on my special day. Simply put, I cannot recommend Krystal more highly!!
