Kristen and her work are amazing! We decided to elope (after being engaged for 6 years) and only had a little over 1 week to plan it all. Another photographer referred us to Kristen since they weren't available on our date. We are so happy for the referral! Kristen assisted us immediately with details, pricing and suggestions. She suggested Sand Key Beach instead of Clearwater Beach for our elopement, which we are so happy for that. She also referred us to a wonderful officiant, which helped a lot because we were originally going to get married at the courthouse. We are SO glad she offered suggestions. Kristen has a great personality and made us feel comfortable. It was freezing and very windy on the beach that day, but it did not bother her at all. We were pleased that she assisted us in posing and capturing the best angles, because we are not typically photogenic people. Kristen sent several sneak peek pictures the day after our elopement which was awesome! A few weeks later she sent the rest of the pictures and we were blown away. All the pictures turned out amazing and it has taken us multiple days to go through because she gave us such a great variety. It will be so hard to pick our favorite ones because they are all awesome! We cannot say enough great things about Kristen. Thank you SO much!!!

I am someone who hates having her photo taken, however Kristen (and her second photographer Tom) immediately made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful. She suggested the best location for our engagement photo session and the pictures turned out beautifully. She was so great the day of the wedding and got all the shots we needed. My brother is autistic and Kristen was so kind and sweet with him. She made sure everyone was comfortable with photos and also got through photos efficiently so we could get back to the party! Loved the experience and I will recommend her to everyone!

Kristen's professionalism and eye for photography is impeccable. She was so thorough throughout the whole process of shooting our engagement/wedding photos. We had never gotten photos taken professionally before, and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her prices were fitting for our budget. Her shots are simple and elegant, light and natural, which is what we loved most about them. Kristen always had open communication throughout my entire time working with her. She is extremely organized; she emailed us a questionnaire about 2-3 months before the wedding asking our list of most important lineups and photos we wanted, and she and her second photographer, Tom, quickly and efficiently moved through the shots on the day of the wedding. She was precise and personable, and just a pleasure to work with. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos, I can't stop looking at our sneak peek ones! Thank you, Kristen!!

We decided at almost the last minute to hire a reception photographer for our destination wedding in Treasure Island on 6/22/19. Kristen was on the Bilmar Beach Resort’s preferred vendor list so I contacted her. We are so thankful she was available to photograph our reception and sunset pictures!! Kristen’s photographic work is truly amazing and her customer service skills are top notch. She was like talking with an old friend that you’ve known for years. Our sunset pictures are beyond gorgeous, the beach landscape and colors of the sky are like a painted portrait. She also made us normal looking people look like destination wedding models. She captured every important point of our reception – all the details, dances, cake cutting. She even went above and beyond to snap pictures of my family members in group shots. And the action shots of everyone talking, dancing, and having a good time have brought back many laughs and smiles from that day that happened just a short 3 weeks ago. We are definitely going to have many more laughs and fun conversations about those photos for years to come. Thank you, Kristen for being a part of our beach wedding dream team!!

Kristen was so helpful. We had some unexpected weather on our wedding day and she made it so the groomsmen had a room where they were out of the rain and wind! The pictures she took were stunning! We got all the pictures we wanted plus so many more!

Kristen truly is amazing! We struggled at first finding a photographer- so many shooting styles, packages, personalities, it was overwhelming! Kristen kept it simple and she is so genuine. Once we met her we knew she was the perfect fit! She takes gorgeous pictures and knows how to make you feel comfortable so you don’t look posed or uncomfortable and creates such natural and beautiful shots. We had never been professional photographed so we were really nervous. Kristen’s suggested we did the engagement shoot. Best idea! The pictures came out great (we had some displayed at the wedding) but it also made us loosen up and much more comfortable for pictures come wedding time. She also has such a great personality. The right combination of being flexible and easy going, but still able keep the bridal party in line and understand any crazy family dynamics :). The sneak peek pics of our wedding are absolutely gorgeous!! Can’t wait to see the rest!!

Kristen is an extremely responsible great photographer. She was amazing from the beginning and worked with us on our budget and made sure we got the package that would work best for our day. She did our engagement shoot and our wedding photography. The photos are all breath taking. She is punctual and captured all the perfect moments. She even helped me when my dress ripped a bit. Thank you Kristen!

Kristen and her work is phenomenal. You can just tell she takes pride in what she's doing, never once did I feel pressured or worried that I wasn't getting what I wanted/ paid for. She is extremely helpful and responsive, everything you want in a wedding day photographer. She catches great pure raw moments and the photos are truly timeless. Turn around is amazing! It just makes you feel important when you get sneak peeks back so fast. I will pick her again and again for all formal photos I have in the future

We had the pleasure of working with Kristen Marie on engagement, family, and wedding photos. She is wonderful at keeping things on schedule and on point. She took our desires and thoughts into consideration when choosing poses and locations. Her team is wonderful! The pictures are breath taking. We could not have asked for a better photographer, We would recommend her in a heart beat

Kristen Marie and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with! Because of Kristen Marie's great personality and her professional approach, the photo sessions during our Wedding Day were a very pleasant experience, during a day that can often be a little stressful ;). All photos were taken as per agreed schedule and order, and everyone was relaxed which is also very important. We were so happy when we received our photos - a sneak peak gallery arrived only a few days after the Wedding Day, and full gallery only few weeks after - amazing turnaround! We love the photos! We have a wonderful selection ranging from among others: very intimate romantic portraits of us, beautiful official ceremony pictures, family group photos and fun images from the reception. Thank you Kristen Marie!
