Kristen Hardesty Photography LLC

Kristen and Toby were incredible. We prioritized booking someone who could capture our diverse bridal party, be inclusive in their language, and capture a religious ceremony. They were perfect. The photos are incredible and everyone looks amazing. Kristen met with us and listened to our vision for capturing our day. I was a little self conscious about not wanting "getting ready" pictures and not wanting my hair and makeup done professionally. Kristen validated this and I love how I look in the photos. If you are a no/low makeup bride and nervous about how the photos will look, you will look amazing in Kristen's photos. Kristen was so organized and made sure to get the shots we asked for! Our day was very community and family oriented and it came through in the pictures. They captured our loved ones being themselves. We felt so loved at our wedding and we feel that love from our community when looking at the photos. Kristen and Toby did an amazing job capturing the details that we spent the day before setting up! Also some (maybe awkward) financial details, but they're details that would have helped me hire Kristen sooner. Kristen's prices are high compared with some other photographers, but she absolutely charges what her work is worth. When hiring her, you are not just buying pictures but also paying for an incredibly professional, dependable, and lovely person and her team. I was never stressed or anxious that I would hate the photos or that we wouldn't get the photos back; that peace of mind was amazing and worth spending money on. We did not have a huge budget for our wedding and photography was our biggest single expense and ended up being about 25% of our budget. The portal Kristen uses is easy to use and she accepts credit card payment without additional fees which was very convenient. We have absolutely no regrets, we would hire Kristen again and again and will treasure the pictures for the rest of our lives!! How freaking cool!!

Kristen and her husband, Toby, were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout my wedding planning process. We opted out of using a videographer and strictly capturing our wedding day through pictures and I am so happy with that decision! She captured our day beautifully and I can't recommend her enough. Not only did she capture our wedding day perfectly, but she got the sneak peeks to us 4 days after the wedding and the rest of the photos over to us one month later!

We loved working with Kristen Hardesty Photography! Their Photo + Video packages made our decision easy and our day-of coordination smooth! After booking, we were provided with a comprehensive guide for photos, including preparation tips, personal insights from their own wedding day, and recommendations for what information and items to prepare for our wedding photos. The photos themselves are STUNNING. A priority for us was hiring a photographer who could capture our interracial family without losing anyone or washing anyone out, and we couldn't be happier with the look of our photos throughout the day, across all different types of lighting! What's even better is that our joy on that day is reflected in each and every photo! Viewing our photos is a delight because they take us straight back to the day's energy and emotions. Everyone we've shared with raves about the photos as well. Choosing Kristen Hardesty Photography was the BEST decision!

My husband and I could not be happier with Kristen and her team! Kristen was so helpful in planning and choosing a location for our engagement photos, even being willing to switch last minute! Their professionalism throughout the entire process was so impressive, and we are so grateful that they captured our special day. The pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined. HIGHLY recommend!
