How do I even begin to write this review?! Before you continue to read, please know that I really don't have the proper words to express my complete gratitude to Kearsten, her incredible photography skills, or her lovely personality.
When I found Kearsten's page on The Knot, I knew that her style of wedding photography was different than most wedding photographers, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Not only can she capture the emotions in her photos, but she edits them so beautifully. Our videographer told me that when he saw her page, he could almost "smell the oak" in her photos. The composition, lighting and coloring of each one is just perfect!
Aside from her skill, Kearsten is just a wonderful old soul, down to earth, person. After our first meeting, it was clear that she really wanted to get to know us -- not only so that she could capture what we were looking for -- but so that she could capture who we are. She spent time studying the Pinterest page I sent her, and remembered each shot that we requested beforehand on the day of our wedding. She was sensitive to family drama, and handled corralling our large, hectic families beautifully. When taking photos of just me and my husband, she knew exactly what direction to give us (two very awkward/camera shy individuals), and she laughed and joked with us the entire time. It didn't feel like we were with a stranger, but instead an old time friend.
We received our photos way faster than we expected too! I cried when we looked through the album. We got to relive the joy of our day - seeing not only the expressions on our faces and love for each other, but those of our guests as well. Further, if you're someone like me who unfortunately struggles with low self esteem and typically hates being in photos, look no further. Kearsten's work will make you feel more confident and more beautiful than ever.
I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Kearsten to help you with your wedding. The thoughtfulness that she puts into every interaction is above and beyond what I expected from a wedding photographer! She even made the USB with our album on it beautiful (it's gold/glass in a beautiful linen boxed case)!
I hope this review helps you make your decision! I am so grateful to have found her, and I plan to work with her again for all our photography needs in the future! Until that then, I will continue to recommend her to family, friends, and anyone else I meet who needs a wedding photographer.
Thank you so much, Kearsten!!!
