d even more than I could have hoped for. Not a single photo from our wedding day missed the mark. Kir and Abby are incredibly talented, especially when it comes to capturing the small, meaningful details that make the day so special. I couldn’t recommend Kir highly enough. She is the best of the BEST!!

feeling comfortable in front of the camera.  We aren’t too comfortable posing for pictures but Kir made the experience comfortable and fun, and the results are natural and perfectly capture our day.  Hire her if you get the chance!!  

dding day, Kir made us feel not only comfortable, but like naturals. At the wedding, she was fantastic at coordinating people (and even our pup!!) for photos, and we were never worried that the important moments, both big and small, were being captured. The photos were truly perfect and captured a magical day!

pics was SO FUN thanks to Kir and I really can't say enough amazing things about her!!!

her work and how seamlessly she operated on wedding day. When I got engaged, she was the very first call I made- even before our venue! From start to finish, Kir was responsive, accommodating, helpful, and truly went above and beyond for me. In the early stages of booking her, she responded to my emails within minutes/hours, tailored our contract so it met exactly what I was looking for, answered my 5000 questions, and even recommended other vendors (videographers, planners, etc.) which shows what an expert in the wedding industry she is. As a bride, this level of professionalism is SOO important because the last thing you want to be doing is chasing down vendors and the "business side" of planning your wedding can be draining, but not with someone as lovely and amazing as Kir. When it comes to her work, Kir is second to none. I had a "mood board" I showed her with shots of hers that I loved, and she stuck to it to a tee and of course added her personal touch that makes her work so outstanding. Her photos are timeless/classic but also have a hint of modern flair to it- but above all, she will work WITH YOU to make sure you get exactly what you want. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I kept repeating how much fun we were having with her, taking portraits all over the national mall, which could have been a logistical nightmare for other photographers- but not Kir. She navigated it so seamlessly and efficiently, making sure we got every shot we wanted but also had time to enjoy the day with family and friends. She is a joy to be around and truly makes you feel like a special celebrity on your day. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend and had an absolute blast with her. Another remarkable thing about Kir is how quickly she delivers your insane gallery- we got 1000s of photos, with sneak peaks the morning of our wedding day (like 3AM) and the rest within just 2-3 weeks. Getting the photos so quickly is so special, because it really is the only thing from your wedding you walk away with. Having photos we can show generations and generations later is something we will always cherish and be grateful to Kir for. Bottom line: hire Kir ASAP, she is the absolute best in the business!!!

that she took for our engagement session and wedding day are hung up all over our home. We will cherish these photos for years to come. We are beyond grateful for Kir and her talent! Kir is not just an amazing photographer but also an amazing person. She cares deeply for her couples and goes above and beyond the call of duty for them. Do not hesitate to hire Kir for your special day. You will not be disappointed!

those tasks, and also, genuinely so nice and fun. If you had no bridesmaids you liked you would still have an amazing time getting ready with her as your photographer. She captured the personality of us as a couple, our dog, our goofy friends, perfectly. She was flexible on what we needed for our wedding and we loved everyone on her team we worked with. 11/10 would recommend.

Kir to photograph my daughter's wedding. My daughter felt as strongly as I did about having Kir as her wedding photographer. Kir was actually my daughter's first phone call to a vendor after she got engaged. Kir's artistic eye and attention to detail is what attracted me to her work. Kir did not disappoint. From my daughter's engagement photos to her wedding photos, I am obsessed with all the photos Kir sent us. The detail in my daughter's photos is just beyond any of my expectations and each photo is more beautiful than the next. Not any is every photo beautiful but Kir was so easy to work with and listened to and accomplished everything that was on our "must photograph" list. There is no better photographer in the industry. Kir is a must and should be the first person you book for your wedding. Five stars are not enough to give to her outstanding work. Patty Zarriello

s that will add such a special twist to your day. From our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable with her. The quality of the photos was unmatched and got us so excited for our big day. Leading up to the wedding, she was intentional about the timeline to the minute in order to optimize photos. She also strings together the sweetest details that make each couple unique; she ordered butterflies for our flat lays which was such a sweet touch. On the wedding day, despite having to manage different personalities and wrangle huge groups for photos, Kir remained decisive, clear, and kind. She is the ultimate professional. Looking through our photos is the perfect antidote to post-wedding blues- it seriously feels like we are reliving the day! Also, shoutout to Abby, who was just as amazing and fun to work with! You will not regret working with Kir for your big day!!!!

did such a good job incorporating our pup into the photos which made them extra special. Highly recommend!!

also wanted a photographer who would vibe with me and my now-husband on our wedding day. When I found Kir and we spoke over Zoom, I knew immediately that we had to have her as our wedding photographer. Kir has the innate abilities to communicate effectively and efficiently, match your energy, be direct while being fun, and be hands on without being pushy. She was flexible on the day of our wedding, she jumped in and understood family sensitivities and concerns, she made us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she handled rainy weather beautifully. She is an ideal team player alongside other vendors on the day of the wedding and I can't imagine our team without her. Kir perfectly blends, what I would consider to be, a mix of documentary and fine art styles. She captured hundreds of beautiful images that we will hang in our home forever and gift to our parents, but in a way that we will remember the day as it was - exactly what I was looking for during my search for the perfect photographer. I recommend Kir, unreservedly, to anyone in search of a photographer!

t what she does. Not only does she have an exceptionally artistic eye, but she is such a pleasure to work with on a personal level. I notoriously do not enjoy getting my picture taken, but Kir's lighthearted humor and kind spirit made me and my bridal party feel so relaxed and comfortable on my wedding day. She's able to seamlessly capture the most perfect candid shots that truly encapsulate the essence of our special day from start to end. In fact, she took so many stunning pictures that we can't even choose which ones are our favorites to print and hang around our house (we might need to buy a bigger house for more wall space...). Kir is also a pro at moving swiftly through the "must-take" family formals so you can maximize your time enjoying cocktail hour and the reception, which was really important to us. Bottom line, I cannot recommend Kir highly enough for your next wedding or event - one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process!!! THANK YOU, KIR! :)

nd beautiful.

ommend enough!

pleasure of working with Kir for our engagement and wedding photos. My goodness…Kir CRUSHED it!!! Kir has a way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful from literally the moment you meet her. Kir’s contagious energy immediately brightens your day which allows you to be yourself. Our expectations were surpassed with the results, timing of delivery, and quality. Kir, thank you for capturing our special moments that we will forever cherish! So beyond grateful for you 🤍

n the weeks since our wedding: "Kris Jenner works hard, but Kir works harder," and "your photographer is unreal," and "you guys picked a wonderfully talented photographer!" All of our family and wedding party were raving. Hiring Kir was easily the best choice we made during wedding planning. She was so easy to work with throughout the entire process, from initial conversations through the actual wedding. She showed up early, she stayed late, she kept our rehearsal dinner timeline on track when it went off the rails, and, to top it all off, we genuinely enjoyed spending our wedding day with her. I feel so grateful that creatively and personality-wise we clicked so well! On the day of, we were dealing with some crazy wind but Kir managed and got every shot we wanted and more. My partner and I are both shy in front of the camera, but Kir helped us feel comfortable (and even cool!), and we genuinely love the pictures that we've gotten. She even sent us sneaks the next morning! Long story short: Kir rocks, the pictures rock, and you should definitely work with her!!!

tting a wedding photographer who wouldn’t just take photos for us, but whose personal style would give us aesthetically pleasing photos. We didn’t have time to do a lot of the aesthetic details that traditional weddings have so photography felt even more important. And Kir delivered – our wedding (and engagement!) photos are stunning. She went above and beyond to get all the requested shots and many more – playing off the fall foliage and the light at our mid-day wedding. Beyond the actual photos, Kir dealt with everything we threw at her. Notably, we had a complex ceremony venue (a garden with visual obstructions and our friends and family sitting/standing in the aisle which left little room for her to move around) and a similarly cramped restaurant reception venue. But Kir was everything everywhere all at once – we ended up with so many photos that I hadn’t even known she’d taken. At the reception, I had no less than 5 people – all friends who’d already gotten married - tell me how impressed they were with our photographer. Kir is professional, detail-oriented, and she will give you her advice if you’ve gone astray. Our first point of contact was an email response with a suggested outline of the day - this was so helpful to me planning a wedding two months in advance without a planner. Getting that email was the moment I knew we could pull it off. She continued to offer advice on number of photos, timing, etc to make sure we still had time for candids and other aspects of the day. She also arrived 30 minutes early on wedding morning and got us our photos the day after our wedding! I haven’t even mentioned her warmth and kindness – she is exactly the person you want with you on your wedding day. And do an engagement shoot – it’s amazing practice and photos to have!

out the day, and is so fun to be around to boot! I saw Kir's work on Instagram about a year before my Husband and I even got engaged, and loved it instantly. I knew once we were engaged that we had to reach out to her! From our first interaction is was clear how passionate Kir was about her work and the couples she works with. This passion coupled with her warm personality made us feel so comfortable during the engagement session and on the wedding day. She worked quickly and efficiently, which allowed us to get all the shots we wanted AND make all of cocktail hour. Kir truly went above and beyond for us throughout the wedding day! She helped remind me to pick up my dress when walking (even picking it up herself once or twice), held bouquets, corralled a wedding party of 20 people (like a pro), helped my husband with his bowtie, and so much more. She had our engagement photos back to us within less than a week, sent sneak peaks from the wedding at 2 a.m. the night of the wedding, and our FULL wedding gallery back to us within 2.5 weeks!!! We absolutely love all of the pictures. We will be forever grateful for everything she did for us and for capturing our wedding day and love story so beautifully. If you have the opportunity to work with Kir, we can't recommend her enough! 1,000/10 stars!!

as her pictures. From our first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and excited. She made our engagement session and our wedding fun, easy, and stress-free. She was highly organized and made sure we had every single picture we wanted without us even having to think about it. She was also extremely quick with her turn-around, getting us sneaks at 2AM after our wedding and our full gallery just 2 weeks later. Every picture is gorgeous, and our family and friends are still raving about how great our photographer was. We are so incredibly happy we hired Kir and highly recommend her to anyone else looking!

us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. She was a rockstar when it came to posing us (and all family/friends/guests), capturing the small and big moments, coordinating people, locations, shot list requests, all while maintaining an incredibly positive and fun attitude. Both of us had never been photographed professionally before our engagement shoot and admittedly were quite nervous for it, but we left feeling like models and incredibly confident in her ability to deliver spectacular wedding photos. She promised a quick turnaround and she certainly delivered – we woke up to 90+ sneak peak photos the morning after our wedding and the full album just a few weeks later. If we could give Kir 100 stars, it still wouldn’t be enough. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Kir, we can’t recommend it enough!

anted someone who could make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was lucky enough to have met Kir at one of my best friends weddings before I was even engaged and I immediately hired her for my wedding in my mind lol. She’s phenomenal - she’s your biggest fan, she knows all the right angles and poses and she will make you feel like the most beautiful couple in the world. Kir goes above and beyond, she showed up early, she can adapt to changing plans, she can wrangle the wedding party and family effortlessly, she finds the good spots that you wouldn’t even think about, she gives direction and advice, she even helps you put on your dress and shoes. The unanimous comment we received after our wedding from our guests was “your wedding was so beautiful and fun but wow your photographer was incredible!!” I could go on forever but I’ll end my love letter with this- you would be doing yourself a disservice not hiring Kir!

tor and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured not only some beautiful portraits, but also managed to capture the little moments throughout the day that brought us right back to that exact moment. Her photos are truly something special, not to mention she got us our entire wedding gallery 2.5 weeks after the wedding... WHAT!? We could not have been happier with Kir and you will regret not booking her!

milies and wedding party members to make sure everything got shot on time (and we didn't miss any part of our big day!), and took just beautiful, stunning, AMAZING photos that we will treasure forever. Plus, we got our photos back very quickly--including a set of sneak peeks by 2am the very night of our wedding! We cannot recommend her highly enough.

ed them to capture moments rather than specific poses and Kir absolutely delivered. On top of the amazing pictures, Kir is incredibly personable so working with her was a dream. She instantly put us at ease - it felt like we had hired a friend to photograph us. Nothing felt forced, and our bridal party commented on how easy she was to work with. We were blown away with the pictures we got for our sneak peak (the night of the wedding!!), and just received the rest of the pictures and could not be happier. Being able to look back at our pictures and remember specific moments is something that we will cherish. We cannot recommend Kir enough!!

s into the right positions was a breeze for her, and the results were better than we could've imagined. It felt like she really captured 'us' in the photos, which was exactly what we wanted. She was professional, friendly, and obviously very skilled. We're glad we chose her, and we highly recommend her services. Solid 5/5 stars! -Holland and Ben

ith a very positive vibe that set the tone for beautiful pictures! Thank you Kir!

ried last year November 2021 in DC. I had been stalking out photographers in DC for a little while and given it was still COVID struggled to find someone who was willing to just do photos in my big poofy dress. My partner and I decided because we have immune compromised individuals, we would just have a zoom ceremony instead of a full out party. The only problem was I had already bought my very expensive wedding dress. Since I had my dress I really wanted to take photos in it. I messaged Kir and she wrote back fairly quickly, I want to say within 2 days. Also I did originally reach out on a weekday and not a weekend. Anyways, Kir wrote back and she said she was available on the Monday and that she had an elopement package that would fit my budget. I cried, didn't think I would be the one to cry but I did because I was thrilled to find someone that I not only love her work but was within my budget. I did do an engagement session with Kir as well. My partner is NOT a photo guy, he hates having his photo taken, but he did it because he knows I love photos. We are not by any way those instagram couples that take photos all the time that know exactly which side is their best side or know how to pose. Kir gave us directions that were easy to follow which helped ALOT. Also, the day of my elopement photos my florist called and said that she was very sick and that she wouldn't be able to get the flowers to me on time. She offered me a refund which I took and told Kir that there were no flowers. She made a call and low and behold her florist friend was able to put something together and bring it by. I may not have gotten the party that I wanted but I did get the photos that I absolutely LOVE. I love them soooo much that I asked Kir if she also did lifestyles so she could take our baby announcement photos. I cannot say it enough, Kir is worth EVERY PENNY you spend. The photos came out amazing, she is extremely nice and provides directions for the couples who have no clue how to pose. I didn't post our elopement photos because we do plan on having an anniversary party in a few years which i plan to wear the dress.
