Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits

rtant to me. Kristen and her team were phenomenal. Honestly, she made us comfortable from the moment we met. Kristen asked all the right questions to know how we would want our special day to be captured. The end results showed cased those special moments, the tears, the hidden glances, and the smiles. She did our engagement shoot to get to know us. This made us very comfortable on the day of our events. Our friends and family said "those photographers were everywhere." And truely in the photos it shows the effort they made to capture EVERYONE we love and in such a beautiful way. We are thankful for her and our experience. You cannot go wrong!

s of your wedding, many of which are fleeting. However, the photos will last a lifetime, so don’t skimp here. Kristen delivered in every way and looking back, I wouldn't hesitate to choose her again. I would strongly recommend you do all that you can to have her photograph your own wedding. Change the wedding date if necessary!!  We were absolutely blown away by her work (albeit not surprised; it was exactly how we saw it on her website as we reviewed albums of many, many photographers, while wedding planning). What you see is exactly what you get. Unlike a lot of other photographers, every album is very personalized. She isn't taking the same select photos for each wedding, she finds a way to capture those unique special moments. While she wasn't the least expensive photographer, her pricing was very competitive, and the work we saw on her website was exceptional. She was extremely professional. She conducted a free virtual meeting where she answered all our questions and inquired deeply into our preferences. Having loved her personality and her prior products, it was a no-brainer to move forward.  Throughout all stages of planning, she was extremely responsive. Our package included an engagement shoot where she truly shined. She took us to a beautiful natural area that was a personal favorite of us. From the very beginning, she connected with us effortlessly. Neither of us go out of our way to be photographed, and we wanted the pictures to shine, be genuine, and show a lot of emotion. Her kind, encouraging, bright, and humble personality played a pivotal role in helping us feel comfortable throughout the shoot.  She totally blew me away with her eye for capturing different natural perspectives, scenery, and beautiful angles. She came with a full catalog of posing ideas, but we also had a few extra we were interested in. I'll be honest, I was dreading the engagement shoot because I don’t like having my photo taken, and we’d had a stressful day leading up to it, but the shoot flew by and we had a lovely time.  Kristen’s turnaround time for editing and sharing the photos was shockingly speedy. She sent a set of teasers within a few days of the shoot. These ended up being our very favorite photos of the album (though the rest of the album was stunning too), again highlighting her intentionality and experience. Having had such a wonderful engagement shoot, we felt extremely confident that for our big day, we would have yet another collection of photos to cherish for a lifetime.  In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she checked in with us regularly so she would be prepared to capture all of the big moments. Throughout the wedding day, we barely noticed her, as she melded with the crowd, but lat the photos she was everywhere and captured everything exceptionally well. She knew all the nice venue locations for posed shots. She stayed longer on our day to ensure a few more cherished shots were taken.  It'll take us a lifetime to fully appreciate all the photos she sent us from our wedding. They're exceptionally well curated. Looking at these photos, we beam, laugh, sigh a big relief (she truly delivered), and even shed a few tears. We've populated our home, devices, and social media. We’re starting to see them pop up in the homes of those we’ve visited!

er fit for us personally. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!! So happy with our photos! 

nd she exceeded every expectation. These photos are a gift we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They are timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We genuinely can’t pick favorites because every photo feels like the moment. Kristen has an incredible eye and an unmatched ability to capture not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Beyond her talent, Kristen made our wedding day even more special. She was a joy to work with throughout the entire process, and getting to know her was such a highlight for us. We couldn’t imagine our photos being any more perfect, and we are endlessly grateful we found her. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your day in the most meaningful, beautiful way possible, Kristen is the one. She is truly the best.

y, talent, and care brought to every session is rare.  She has an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments — not forced, not over-posed — just beautiful, timeless images that truly tell a story. Our wedding photos and family portraits  are  breathtaking.  Beyond the talent, she is professional, patient, organized, and always makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not easy with kids).  Besides being a very talented photographer, Kristen is also incredibly kind and genuine person.  If you’re looking for someone you can trust with once-in-a-lifetime moments and lasting memories, this is the photographer for you We wouldn’t go to anyone else. 

best time for us to have our ceremony. Our photos are absolutely STUNNING! Out of all of our amazing vendors, Kristen is by far our favorite!! She was directing all of our shots and families fabulously. Every single person we show our photos to is in love with them. I knew from the moment we spoke with Kristen that I wanted her to be our photographer. I am so glad I trusted that instinct because I have gorgeous photos to look at for the rest of my life! I’ll be coming back to Kristen for any of my photo needs!  

us feel so comfortable during the entire process. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. Her professionalism and ability to create a relaxed environment made our day even more special. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer.

t Kristen arrived full of energy and positivity, completely unfazed by the weather. You could tell she knew the venue inside and out. She guided us with confidence, already knew the best spots, and kept everything flowing effortlessly. Somehow, in all that rain, she managed to capture our connection so beautifully. The photos are absolutely sensational, full of warmth, personality, and love. What could have been a soggy challenge turned into something magical because of Kristen and we are eternally grateful.

from the initial planning and continuing through the actual day of the wedding. She was great with communication and understood our vision for the weekend, translating it beautifully into pictures. She even went out of her way to get a last-minute vendor pass in order to take a couple photos we really wanted. The teaser photos turned out beautifully and we would love to work with her again.

and filled with heart. We loved her right away! We started with an engagement session, and it was the perfect way to get comfortable with her and being in front of the camera. We had the best time, Kristen made us laugh, relax, and truly enjoy the experience! The photos were absolutely gorgeous. We knew right away we were in great hands! During the planning process, she asked what we wanted, what was important to us and really made everything personal to our wants and needs. For our wedding weekend, Kristen photographed our welcome reception and our wedding day. She captured every important moment so beautifully and nothing felt staged or forced. The photos are filled with real emotion, joyful candid shots, and so many little details we might have missed otherwise. Kristen has an incredible eye and a calm, positive presence that made the entire process fun and easy. We had so many compliments from our family and friends, they really enjoyed her and her team! We are beyond thrilled with all of our photos; part of my dress had broken during travel and Kristen took time to make sure it was not noticeable in our photos, for that I am forever grateful! Our photos tell OUR story, and we’ll treasure them forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely kind, sweet and professional, Kristen is it! Highly, highly recommend!

ns but she has a true passion for her craft and it shows! I will continue to use her in the future and I can not recommend her enough. Her style is classic and timeless, she captured my engagement, and wedding days with such grace. I will cherish every photo she took for years.

rted talking about a vow renewal. The Elvis-themed ceremony at the Little White Chapel was meant to have a fun and playful vibe; however, we wanted the photos to have a more classic aesthetic. Kristen's ability to utilize natural light and capture her clients' personalities in photos is what truly caught our eye. In addition to the ceremony itself, Kristen captured beautiful photos at locations meaningful to our story, like the Bellagio fountains where we got engaged, and the Wynn hotel where we got married. Some photographers might have been stressed by the construction and grandstands in the background from the Vegas Gran Prix, but not Kristen—she worked different angles and poses to ensure we were giving ‘main character’ energy and remained the focus in the photos. When Kristen shared the wedding album with us, I literally squealed in excitement and couldn't stop "hearting" favorites. Kristen's professionalism and helpfulness before, during, and after the day made the entire planning process a breeze. Her recommended vendors were top-notch, ensuring the day was seamless and special. With Kristen behind the camera, we were able to be present and fully enjoy every moment. I highly recommend her for capturing your special days—you won't be disappointed!

we wanted. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and it was worth every penny!!!! Thank you so much Kristen 🤍🤍

ther my wife or I love taking pictures, so choosing a photographer for our wedding came with lots of anxiety. From the moment we got off our initial Zoom informational call with Kristen, we were immediately at ease and knew she was the best choice for us. We do not live in Las Vegas, so we worked with her mostly through Zoom. However, she worked around our schedule to make sure we could do our engagement photos when we were visiting near Christmas, and took some of our favorite couples photos we've ever had done. On our wedding day, Kristen came with the same calm, fun energy to make sure we got all the photos we wanted but remained flexible to capture such fun candids! Kristen eased all of our photo anxiety, took detail photos I'm obsessed with (never knew I could love a picture of an invitation so much), and captured our love and our wedding day in the most authentic way to us. Kristen's work is beautiful, her turnaround time is quick and efficient, and she is such a fun person to work with! Thank you for everything, Kristen!!

her vision. Everyone commented on how wonderful she was, and how great her directing was including my sweet camera-shy husband. She made everyone feel comfortable and checked in with us the entire night to make sure we got all the shots we wanted! We are so thankful we had her expertise on our big day and are in LOVE with her work. She gave us some amazing teasers the very next day and we can't wait to see the rest of her work when the entire album is done. For our engagement shoot, she did a wonderful job capturing our sweet dog in the photos as well! All of our guests commented on how amazing the shots were of the three of us for our save the dates. I cannot wait to see the rest of her work and I can't wait to work with her again for more family milestones down the road!

and excited to be photographed. She provided a sneak peak of about 30 photos the very next day which was amazing to continue soaking in the celebration. The photos were absolutely beautiful and we have gotten so many compliments on them!

ts brought out the best part of ourselves. She sent us next day edits and they’re absolutely stunning. She also sent us all of our photos way earlier than we expected!! We couldn’t have asked for more. She was super understanding and easy to work with through us changing our engagement shoot date and all the last minute changes. We’re so happy we chose her to capture the most important moments in our life!!

us laughing. She has such a great guy for art, and I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants perfection. Thank you so much Kristen for capturing, my love from my husband.

bright, natural and truly timeless. When my now husband and I were looking through websites, IGs, and reviews of potential photographers we knew we wanted to have an interview with Kristen. After speaking with her, we knew right away she was the one we wanted to capture our wedding day. She is so kind, down to earth, welcoming and thoughtful. She answered all our questions and really made sure we did not feel rushed or pressured in making a selection. When you book with Kristen, all her wedding collections come with an engagement session. My husband and I were a little nervous because we aren't really photogenic people. But Kristen really has an eye to make it all look effortless and AMAZING! She helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and with each other which we really appreciated. When it came to our wedding day, it was like meeting an old friend. She not only made us look stunning, but she managed to make all 20 members of our wedding entourage SLAY and everyone was serving! We are so excited to see all the photos from that magical night, from what we saw so far, they are picture perfect. Could not have asked for a better photography team. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you so much Kristen for everything and we hope to work with you again for future portraits! Love Nikko & Aaron <3

ch Resort Spa & Casino. From our very first conversation, Kristen was awesome, very knowledgable and so easy to work with. The pictures that she and her team took on our wedding day were breathtaking and the finished photo albums were nothing short of amazing! We would highly recommend Kristen Marie Weddings + Portraits to anyone looking for a truly professional photo experience! Philip & LeAnne Pestrichello

timeless, and so classy! We knew her work would compliment our black-tie wedding perfectly! She is very experienced in the wedding industry and knew all of our vendors which made planning so much easier. We loved having vendors that have worked with each other, because it created such a cohesive environment. We also loved that she included an engagement shoot with the wedding booking. It made such a difference on our wedding day and made us feel so comfortable with her! After those 3 hours, we felt like we knew her forever. Our wedding day was perfect, and I have no doubt that Kristen played a role in making it the perfect day for us! She made sure we were able to truly be in the moment and enjoy every second. I didn't have to stress about what pictures to get or where to be because she knew exactly what we wanted without us even mentioning it! It was incredible!! After getting our teasers (THE NEXT DAY!!) we knew we needed a physical copy of our pictures in an album. They were STUNNING - so timeless, polished, and bright. She truly puts her all into her work, and you can see that in the photos. We love how she was able to capture all of our favorite moments and especially how she took some incredible candid shots of my grandpa (those are some of my favorites). We love reliving the day through her work. Kristen is THE BEST and we are so honored that we had her photograph our wedding.

N working with her. Professional and caring, she is also an artist whose gorgeous photos will tell the story of your love in a way that feels like *you* and capture memories that you and your loved ones will cherish for a lifetime. Her natural, classic style and easygoing personality made choosing her the easiest decision of our wedding planning journey. If she is available for your wedding date, do not hesitate to book her! Once you do book her, get ready to enjoy complete peace of mind in the days to months leading up to the big event, knowing your photos will turn out beautifully and that on the day-of, you can be totally present with your spouse-to-be, family, and friends.

part of one's wedding day and you use those photos to look back and feel the memories all over again. Kristen's personality was kind, confident, and caring and we felt totally taken care of by her (not to mention her photography is amazing as well!!). I can not recommend Kristen enough.

with our budget and planning, and produced the most amazing photos for our big day. She did an engagement shoot for us a few months before the wedding which was super nice to get to know her and make our meeting on the wedding day even more smooth. She is incredibly professional, got all of our photos super quick, and I would 100% recommend hiring her for your special day!

y beautiful photos, Kristen also provided a wonderful client experience with industry-leading service excellence and professionalism (not to mention genuine kindness!). From timely responses to personalized consultations to nothing-but-calming vibes on the big day, Kristen curated a truly painless and personable photography experience for us. Without a doubt, we will be using Kristen again to capture the many more chapters of our story, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

wanted, and Kristen delivered flawlessly. I was lucky to already have a connection with Kristen since she shot my sister's wedding the year prior, and my family was overwhelmed with of course her beautiful photography but also her professionalism, patience, and organization. Weddings are already hectic and crazy, but her demeanor was always calm which made us feel like we can truly live in the the moments we were sharing rather than rushing through the day. Kristen provided us great advise and options for shoot locations, flexibility, and of course styling/posing tips that made it seem effortless. With a large family, we added shots that were not originally planned, and of course she accommodated without any hesitation. We love her timeless and classic style of photography that will last a lifetime. We are so thankful for Kristen and cannot recommend her enough!

er work is stunning, and she is a wonderful person - great with communicating, sharing ideas, and just all around amazing.

engagement photo shoot. Las Vegas was a destination wedding for us, so we wanted the engagement shoot to be something special! She helped us do an amazing shoot on the Strip during the day were we got pictures at about 3-4 different properties and they were stunning! I am still obsessed with our pictures at the Bellagio Fountains. The guest book she created from this shoot is amazing and we have it on display at all times. Then leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was great in helping finalize our timeline with our wedding planner and confirming our shot list. The day of the wedding could not have been better! Kristen and Lisa were so great at capturing our day and giving us photos that we will love forever. We cannot wait to have the full wedding album and get prints to put in our home. She gave us sneak peaks so quickly after the wedding that were beautiful and the final album is ever better! I highly recommend Kristen to any couple who is looking for skilled, professional, prompt, and kind photographer. She was the best!

ghout the whole wedding planning process. From the beginning, she was responsive, prepared, and always had a great attitude. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer capable of capturing those special moments that make you tear up when you look back on your wedding day. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

forever. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future :)

as very accommodating and flexible with our out-of-town schedule. From our first meeting with her for our engagement photos we felt like we had known her forever and she was very comfortable, easy, and professional to work with. Before our wedding, Kristen set up a meeting with us to discuss day of details and photo plans to ensure nothing was missed and on day of everything was executed perfectly. She even came on a property tour with us to scope out the resort for the best photo spots as we were getting married at a new venue. She understood the things we were asking for and ensured we got the photos we wanted. Her turnaround time on photos was insane! I think we got a few photo previews from our engagement shoot and wedding day within 24-48 hours after the day!! The engagement photos may have even been the same night. We actually probably held her up as when we received all our digital wedding photos we were not expecting to have them so quickly and also couldn’t decide what photos we wanted in our album as they were all SO good! Anyways, after we gave her our selections for photos for our album, we quickly received the MOST GORGEOUS wedding album ever. I was expecting it to be nice, but this was beyond anything I was expecting. The quality of our wedding album is well worth her prices and something we will cherish forever. Long story short, we would highly recommend Kristen and her team 100000%. We are honored she was our wedding photographer.

photographer to capture our special day. I only cried once on my wedding day and that was seeing the teaser photos of our wedding - they were so much more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Kristen is amazing, her work is flawless and I wish I lived in Nevada so I could have many more photo sessions with her. We couldn't thank you enough Kristen.

n her work thats why the pictures she captures is truly something you always re-live every time you look at it. I keep crying on the pictures she took because it’s something you don’t want to forget. Her work is truly amazing!! Ive been recommending her to all my friends getting married in the future. Look no other! Kristen is made for Wedding photos. She knows the details!! Can’t thank her enough!!!!

ded us with some teasers the next day! Highly Recommend!

lly important! Kristen (and her assistance Lacey!) was able to encourage both my husband and I to get great photographs, while still making the process feel natural. She had tricks on how to get natural smiles, which can be helpful under all the pressure of your big day. The teaser photos that she sent out (quickly!) after the wedding were breathtaking and I couldn't wait to see the rest. Plus, she finished getting all the photos done within two weeks - much faster than I expected! Overall, again - I highly recommend Kristen for your day. You won't regret it!

ne from the initial meeting to delivering the final wedding album, we are so grateful. We 1000% recommend Kristen's services to anyone and everyone!

s.

ich made us more comfortable on our wedding day! Kristen guided us on how to pose which was really awesome 😃

round you into the perfect background every time. When we got our engagement and wedding photos back, we were both in shock at how beautiful every single photo was. I cannot say enough about how perfectly she captured every thing about us as a couple. Kristen is patient and encouraging and helps you along the way. We’ve had so much fun getting to know her over the past year and a half and will definitely continue utilizing her services as we build our family. We love you Kristen! Highly, highly recommend!

late lighting and bright photos attracted me. It's the exact look that my husband and I were looking for a fairytale wedding. Finding the right photographer is like dating and we all hit it off during our zoom meeting. She helped talk to us about how much time to book for our wedding, helped with the decision of the engagement shoot location/timing, and just got to know us. The engagement shoot was a breeze. Kristen made us feel comfortable, especially my husband who freezes in front of the camera. She's great for couples who need some direction and made us feel/look natural. I asked for a huge favor from Kristen and her team for the wedding. I found out I was pregnant a few days prior to the big day. I kept the secret from my husband and wanted the surprise to be his wedding present. I stuffed teddy bear booties and my pregnancy test in his gift box. I asked if Kristen could capture the precious moment of his reaction. When he opened his present, I facetimed his groomsmen to see his reaction as well. I only imagined her and her team to be in his room, but she was also in my room snapping pictures of mine and my bridesmaids' reactions. Such a pleasant surprise. The picture results were phenomenal. Each emotion, each tear, each smile, captured. First look, ceremony, and reception, snapshot into beautiful photos. I love my photos. Every. Single. One of them. If I could create canvases of each one, I would. The quality of photos are absolutely fantastic. I constantly relive my special day when I look at my photos and I know you will too. Kristen is amazing and you will not regret booking with her!

oto locations, what to wear, etc. When the time came for the engagement photos, she was so easy going and fun to be around. She directed us flawlessly and made everything seem just like we were on a date together. My husband even said it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend! On the wedding day, she was cool calm and collected. She even helped me zip my wedding dress when my mom was having issues! She was so sweet working with all of our family ( 8 total parents) and entire bridal party in the Las Vegas heat! Her patience is definitely unmatched. This is just everything in addition to the absolutely STUNNING photos she takes. Her editing is so light, airy, and happy - exactly like her personality! Oh and the best part is that she sends some teaser photos literally the next day to hold you over! I was able to order my thank you notes the next day with one of the beautiful photos. You can tell she loves what she does and that she is so happy and excited to be a part of your wedding. She is incredible - HIRE HER TODAY!!!

our friends and family commented on how much they enjoyed her at our wedding. The photos came out stunning. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Responsive, on time, prepared and always came to every meeting with the most positive attitude! Our engagement session was wonderful. She really took the time to invest in us for (over) an hour and she was so great with poses and making sure every photo had a purpose. Like most couples- we had to change our plans for the actual wedding due to COVID-19. Even then, she worked with us in making sure we had our very own private session where I got to wear my wedding dress for the first time and my husband got to wear his suite. Again, she was absolutely wonderful during this as well. She treated us like royalty and it seemed like it was our actual wedding day. Last, but not least, the photos are AMAZING. Her eye is outstanding. The way she finds the perfect poses in the perfect lighting is why she is so good at what she does. The photos will definitely be on canvas frames around the house! It's no wonder she has such great reviews! We loved every minute of having Kristen part of our journey - can't recommend her enough. :)
