Kristen is literally the best.
1) She is super responsive and sweet-- so easy to deal with.
2) Our engagement photos were beautiful, and the MORNING after our wedding day, we got our preview photos and I almost passed out at how gorgeous they ...
were. Her and her husband are so extremely talented.
3) I also added videography- I honestly forgot that he was there taking video because he is "hidden in plain sight"! I haven't gotten the video yet, but I can't wait to see it and am sure it will be amazing.
4) Kristen handled my family extremely well. After the ceremony, it was like herding cats to get both families to be in the correct place at the right time, Kristen and her team were so sweet and polite which I really appreciated.
5) The photos speak for themselves. Absolutely beautiful. I definitely will hire Kristen for any other "milestones" that happen in the future :)

way she captures the light is amazing and adds to the special ambience of the day. Prices are reasonable and she is willing to work within requests of the bride and groom. We have a special needs nephew who is very special to the bride and the photos she captured of him with Amy were gorgeous! Thank you!!!

Thank you, Amy!
We loved working with you two and your families! <3
We met Kristen and her husband at a bridal show early on in our vendor search. Once we started looking for photographers, we decided to go with Kristen since she was local and it was already someone we had met in person. I’m SO glad we did! She...
is so sweet, accommodating, and has such an eye for photography! Not only did she take wonderful engagement photos, she and her husband worked together the day of our wedding to create memories we will cherish forever. They are so kind, and were so helpful along the way from knowing what poses to do to Kristen helping my mom button and bustle my dress (lol). I would highly recommend Kristen and I thank her so much for capturing the best day of our lives!
Response from the Vendor on 01/06/2022
Thank you so much, Marissa! We had the best time with the two of you (and your pups of course)! I'm so glad we had the chance to work with you! <3
Kristen and her husband were amazing to work with. Not only is she extremely professional but she always was so kind and personable. That alone helped my husband and I feel comfortable when it came time for taking the pictures (we feel awkward ...
sometimes). She even helped bustle my dress! Her work is absolutely breathtaking and we can’t wait to see the final images from our July 10th wedding. I definitely recommend using her for your special day ❤️.

Thank you so much, Gianna! You and Mario were such a treat to work with! <3
Kristen was absolutely amazing…from prep, to the actual day, to receiving our digital gallery and printed photo album! Since having her photograph our wedding in December 2020, two of my sisters have used her for family sessions, and my brother...
just booked her for his spring 2021 wedding!
I was planning our wedding from out of state, and she made sure we connected virtually and scoped out picture locations for us without even asking. Venue locations and times changed often due to Covid , and she calmly went along with everything.
The pictures were absolutely stunning and we will treasure them forever. She and her husband braved the cold and snow to get the most beautiful pictures. I am forever grateful for the memories she gave us!
Book her while you can!
Response from the Vendor on 01/06/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words! I can't wait to see you again for your brothers wedding and to meet the new little one for some photos soon! <3
We got married during the Pandemic of 2020 (in October) but we were fortunate to have met, chosen and booked our Photographer before the shut down. We met Kristen and she asked a lot of questions to get an idea of what we were looking for and o...
ur relationship. I loved that it was her and then her husband as the second photographer. She was with me and the girls while we were getting ready and he was with the groom party. They both are very calm and friendly! The prices are fair compared to others too! After the Wedding she emailed me a sneak peak of the photos which I loved that!! We just received the rest of our Wedding photos and they are beyond perfect!!! I HIGHLY recommend!!
Kristen did absolutely amazing on our wedding photos! She is just an all around amazing photographer and person! We absolutely could not have chosen a better wedding photographer to capture all of our memories on our big day! You will not go wr...

very little details beforehand. On the day, she showed up on time and worked very hard to get perfect shots.
