About this vendor
Krista Marie Photography is a wedding imagery business based in Napa, CA. Hi there, I'm Krista, a small-town girl that moved to the West Coast and now gets to capture love stories for joyful, modern couples! I love finding beauty in simplicity and collaborating with couples seeking elevated experiences and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
Here's the thing, your wedding is a unique event that centers on you and your partner! Everything from the venue and florals to music selections, color palette, and of course, photos, should be a reflection of your vision. My number one goal is that you can relax on the day, have fun, and soak up each precious moment while I document every detail in a way that is timeless, emotive, and vibrant.
As your photographer, I'll help craft your wedding day timeline, plan out your engagement session, and more. With Krista Marie Photography, you can select a wedding package that matches your needs and wishes. I provide online galleries and downloadable digital images so you can relive the magic for a lifetime! I cover weddings and special occasions throughout Napa Valley and along the California Coast, and I can't wait to meet you during a Zoom consultation or in-person to get the ball rolling.

Can’t recommend Krista enough
— we were elated to have her as both our engagement and wedding photographer. She is a true professional and made us (and our guests!) feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Krista not only showed up early on our wedding day to scope the venue out but also stayed later than expected to capture our dance party... which was much appreciated! Also, we didn’t have a videographer and she took a little highlight reel for us that she shared with us the day after our wedding. It was so special. My Mom immediately started crying happy tears when she saw it. Krista goes above and beyond.
Lastly, she is not only a talented photographer but a bright human being. She’s bubbly, easy-going, and truly felt like part of the family on our wedding day :-) Highly recommend!
Krista is the best! Our wedding photos were so beautiful. We wanted our wedding photos to be light and natural - Krista nailed it! My husband and I are very camera shy, but Krista walked us through every photo/pose. She is also the sweetest person, very easy to contact and communicate with, and very attentive to details. I highly recommend her for any special moment that needs to be captured!
I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Krista was throughout our whole wedding process! Krista came highly recommended by our wedding planner (another dream to work with) and the two of them created the ultimate wedding day team. My husband and I planned our wedding completely out of state and Krista was excellent with email correspondence, text, phone calls, and zoom meetings. She kept everything light-hearted and easy-going which was exactly what we were looking for. Krista went to the venue ahead of time with our planner to ensure she knew the location well and came ready the day f with ideas and inspiration.
The day of the wedding, Krista showed up bubbly, smiling, willing to laugh and go with the flow! She put everyone at ease and felt like a very natural extension to the day. Krista is an absolute professional and above all else creates STUNNING pictures. It's been 3 months since our wedding and I still look through the pictures daily.
Thank you, Krista, for capturing the day perfectly and giving us a perfect way to remember our special day!
To anyone lucky enough to find out Krista is available for your day - do not hesitate to book!!
Krista is an absolute gem! She did an impeccable job with both my engagement and wedding photos. Not only is she a talented photographer, but she has such a warm smile and positive energy that makes the whole photo-taking experience so much fun!
From planning meetings to location scouting, she is super professional and always came prepared. She was very understanding when we rescheduled our wedding date due to Covid, and when the day finally came, I took great comfort in knowing that she would take care of documenting every moment. My husband and I couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and are so grateful that what felt like a perfect day to us was captured so perfectly. Even after the wedding, Krista went above and beyond to return my husband's sunglasses to him (somehow, in the midst of wedding day festivities and various photo sessions, Krista ended up with them in her pocket and we forgot to get them from her).
I wholeheartedly recommend Krista to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her again myself!
Krista was
Where do I even start... Krista is AMAZING! From the first phone call I could tell I wanted to hire her. She went the extra mile searching for the perfect photoshoot spots all over Sonoma County. I gave her my vision and she ran with it. She captured all my Italian and French dreams and I can not WAIT for our wedding day. She was fun, comfortable, personable, and even made my camera shy Fiance say "I actually enjoyed taking our engagement photos"! I can not recommend her enough!
This was hands down the best engagement photo experience we could have ever asked for. In the initial phone call, Krista was wanting to get to know us and our love story. That personal touch helped us to feel comfortable from the start. My fiancé and I had a total blast with her! We got to bring our dogs, had a lot of laughs, and really felt at ease. She captured our love perfectly; I cannot speak highly enough of her. I’ve already recommended her to other friends in the area.
Krista was incredible to work with from start to finish. Even before meeting her in person, she was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and professional. Just reviewing her portfolio, website, and social media I knew I wanted her to capture our day. Even before the wedding, Krista was very organized And flexible to ensure she knew what we had planned and we were looking for. We had a small and simple ceremony only, and she has captured the short afternoon to look like a lovely event. She arrived early, made us and our guests comfortable in front of the camera, and was all around friendly and so talented. I would recommend her highly to anybody, anywhere. We feel lucky to have found her work!
We had the most magical engagement session with Krista. She made the entire experience – from our initial questions, to preparing us for our shoot, to the photography session itself, to getting our sneak peek photos – easy, comfortable, and fun.
Krista prepared us so well for our photoshoot – helping us pick our outfits and make sure all the little details we might not consider were taken care of. At the photoshoot, she made us feel like we were in a fairytale. She coached us but still allowed us to feel natural, and found all the most magical places to shoot in. She spent so much time with us the afternoon of our shoot, finding space after space where we could get gorgeous shots.
The very next day, she shared sneak peek photos that swept us away! It reflected the magic we felt in the day. Three weeks later, she turned around a full album with so many gorgeous photos. We are still swooning over them and the magic of the experience we had with her! We have no idea how we are going to select the pictures to frame – there are too many perfect shots!
Thank you Krista! We loved working with you. We highly recommend her as your engagement and wedding photographer!
Krista was so wonderful to work with. She’s flexible to work with and changed her schedule to meet our evening appointments. Also, we were having a destination wedding and I never felt concerned about our photos. I’d definitely recommend her!
Don't hesitate - hire Krista!
She takes beautiful, classic photos and is a joy to be around. Her positive energy will help you feel your best in front of the camera. She sent us our photos in an online gallery and it was so much fun looking through them.
Very happy with Krista Marie Photography!
Krista is so talented and so incredibly kind! Her work is airy and romantic, and she makes a point to capture all the details.
Krista is everything you need on your wedding day! I had the pleasure of working with Krista for anniversary photos a year after my wedding day and I walked away from ghat experience regretful that I hadn’t found her sooner to have been able to work with her on my wedding day! She is so kind, so sweet, funny, and personable! My husband can be quite awkward behind the camera and she brought out so much comfort during the session that our pictures turned out so natural and really felt like *us.* Krista was so amazing that day that I’ve hired her multiple times since then to capture other life milestones and have referred her to several friends! If you’re looking for a professional photographer who will feel like a friend at the end of your wedding day, look no further! Krista’s your girl!
We found Krista through the knot. We live on the east coast but we’re able to coordinate across the country. We had an ambitious schedule, but Krista made it work. She was flexible and optimistic throughout our day. We felt so incredibly comfortable taking photos with her and cannot wait to see the final images (we just got married). She is professional, kind, and easy to work with!
Krista was AMAZING from start to finish. She did a fantastic job of catching those magical moments on camera without being intrusive! The photos are absolutely gorgeous! I would recommend Krista Marie Photography to anyone looking to hire a wedding photographer!
Krista was great at putting at us ease and really willing to help talk us through what we should be doing! We were mostly worried it would be awkward (we're not very photogenic!), but Krista was great at making us feel comfortable. Krista is super easy going, friendly, easy to feel comfortable around. I was really sick and it was so cold the day of our engagement photoshoot, and she still did her magic and made us look great! We absolutely adore our photos. Trust Krista and you won't regret it :)
Krista is truly the most amazing photographer I've had the pleasure of working with! She is so sweet, kind, and PROFESSIONAL during the entire process, and created the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. This was such an important aspect of my wedding, and Krista totally delivered. The pictures are so gorgeous and magical--I can't wait to put them all over my house. My husband and I are so grateful for her hard work and dedication.
We are so beyond thrilled to have connected with Krista and to have had her as our wedding photographer. We can hardly find the words to say how grateful we are! She absolutely blew us away with our sneak peek ALREADY - the photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE, she is so talented and amazing. She was exactly where she needed to be all day to capture all of the details and special moments, and she was able to perfectly represent our vibe and our personalities with every photo. She made our wedding look even more beautiful than we remember it to be, which is a tall order since we were so elated with how everything turned out all day! Krista is not only skilled, experienced, and professional, she is also delightful to have around - she was so kind and sweet, and she kept her cool (and helped us to keep ours!) even when things got a little hectic :) We just feel like the luckiest people in the world to have been blessed with her presence and artistic vision on the best day of our lives, and to be able to look back remember the day through her lens. I would recommend Krista with joy to anyone looking to document the most special of occasions. She is magic!!! Thank you so much, Krista!
I lucked out finding Krista and am so happy I did! She is such a wonderful photographer and so sweet, too. I love her style and use of light, and I appreciate the way she captures little details. Her photos have a romantic feel to them. She was wonderful, and I can't recommend her enough!
We were so grateful and lucky to have Krista as part of our wedding celebration. Not only is she a really talented photographer who captured some really special and unique moments for us to treasure, but she also was a SHADOW! She was involved and associated without being intrusive or disruptive. After our event, a number of our friends and family marveled at how she captured their experience without them even noticing. I would happily hire Krista again for any celebration in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Krista was the best photographer I could have hired for my son’s and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner. She is very professional and very, very talented. Krista was hired by my son and daughter-in-law to take their engagement and wedding photos. I wanted a professional photographer to take pictures at the rehearsal dinner so I contacted Krista. I was not sure that she would say ‘yes’ since the wedding was in Carmel, CA. To my surprise Krista did say ‘yes’ even though that meant either she would have a long drive back home after photographing the event or renting a hotel room to stay the night. Either way she took the BEST PICTURES of the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. If I ever have another event in California I would definitely hire Krista as the photographer!
I cannot say enough good things about working with Krista. She did our engagement photos as well as two days of wedding events and we love each and every one. She made us relaxed and comfortable in what can be an awkward situation (I hate having my photo taken!) and captured exactly the "vibe" we were hoping for at each event. The photos are timeless and we can't wait to cherish the memories she captured for many years! We'll definitely be giving Krista a call for any and all photo-worthy events in the future. Thank you, Krista!!
We LOVE working with Krista! She has become such a major part of our life as she's captured some of our most treasured moments.
We first met Krista for our engagement shoot. She was referred to us by a friend of a friend after we struggled to find someone on our own. We instantly connected as if we'd been friends forever. She made us so comfortable as we ventured around San Francisco to some of our favorites spots and was super excited to include our dog in the process! We left the day talking about how "our friend" crushed it and were excited to have her at our wedding!
After the engagement shoot we decide to use her for our wedding and honestly, we couldn't be happier! Prior to our big day, Krista invited us to brunch with her and he boyfriend. The plan was to talk about the upcoming wedding but we got so caught up chatting like old friends! On the day of our wedding, Krista felt like a great friend that we had asked to document the event! She was able to capture so many moments in a way that was so discrete.
In May we welcomed our first baby and we couldn't imagine having anyone else take our first family photo shoot! She took the time to come to our home and again helped us feel relaxed in such a new time. She was able to work with our new addition and again, loved including our pup! She snuck in a few shots of our 4 legged friend that were a nice surprise when we got the proofs back!
Her turn around time on all of these sessions were incredible and we've always been so unbelievable happy with the results. She has gone above and beyond and we look forward to including her in more of our life events in the future!
We just got our photos back from our August 22nd wedding, and they're amazing. Krista and Jon were super friendly and easy to work with, made sure they got every shot we wanted, worked with me before the wedding, and gave us amazing photos. Her eye for framing and lighting are incredible, and we were totally wowed by our photos. Highly, highly, highly recommended!!
Super friendly and works with you. Her work is amazing. Our wedding was outside on a extremely bright day and then inside in a dark space. The lighting was perfect in every photo. HIGHLY Recommended.
