We loved Kristina so much! She was very professional, understanding, HELPFUL, and so very sweet. She made our day a lot less stressful. Highly recommend & pictures came out amazing and were available a few days after our wedding.

Kristina was incredible on our big day! In the time leading up to our wedding, she was very helpful in providing recommendations on how to capture the best moments from our first look to our family pictures. Throughout the day, she captured all of the best moments, and took some AMAZING candids that we were so excited to see, including some incredibly sweet photos for our guests enjoying themselves and reuniting. Even when a torrential downpour unexpectedly occurred, Kristina rolled with us and still captured some amazing moments, including photos of us overlooking an incredible sunrise (that she convinced us to to take). Throughout the day, she was calm and collected, and stepped in when prep work was needing in draping one of our party's sari. She was an integral part of the day, even beyond the photos. And simply put, we will be looking at her pictures for many, many years to come! If you're looking for a photographer to capture your special day, look no further than Kristina!

Talk about blown away!!!! Kristina is the absolute best of the best! She went above and beyond what any photographer would have done on my wedding day. From taking photos to helping my girls getting ready (right down to lacing up corsets!!), Kristina wasn’t afraid to step in and get your hands dirty. She arrived on time and ready to work…. With a pleasant, inviting smile on her face. Kristina has such a warm demeanor that makes you feel like you’ve been friends with her forever. I got compliments all night about her, and I’m still getting compliments days later. From the sneak peak photos I’m getting, I can tell I’m going to love my photos. She wasn’t pushy about getting shots and listened about what we wanted from our photographer. I loved that she was willing to work with us…. And didn’t shove her ideas on our throats. She even has a sweet photo booth that we were able to rent too!! That was definitely a hit with the kids at our wedding (and to be honest, most of the adults!) Kristina, thank you so much for being part of our special day! You made it so much better just by being you! I cannot thank you enough…

We didn't want all the bells and whistles of a traditional wedding photographer. Just the basics. And Kristina was perfect. She never intruded into the ceremony/reception, but caught all the right moments. And we had our photos to download within a few days. At a reasonable price.

Kristina was so wonderful! From the first meeting I felt so comfortable with her and I loved the pics of her work. Wedding day photos were magnificent—and she sent them to me so quickly! My family found Kristina and her assistant remarkable and appreciated that they were very subtle and respectful during our wedding Mass. I am 100% impressed and cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

Kristi is great! She went beyond our expectations as a photographer. She took wonderful candid photos, used our pose suggestions as a springboard for a fun and creative photoshoot, and then she even helped to bustle the bride’s dress. At our reception, she helped to hype up the dance floor by teaching people some dance moves, talked us through how to cut our cake (we were nervous), and was overall very friendly and energetic (made much more impressive by the fact that she did all this while pregnant with her second child)! She took so many beautiful photos and captured so many wonderful memories from our special day. She also edited and returned the photos to us very quickly. We highly recommend hiring her! ~ Gavin & Kaitlyn Keasler

Kristina did a phenomenal job with our wedding photos. She arrived right on time and began snapping some amazing shots right away. She managed to capture the best, genuine moments from our wedding and service. My husband and I loved her warm, friendly personality and are so grateful that we reached out to her for her talent.
