Kristi Telnov Photography

went straight to her Instagram and within seconds, I knew she was the one. Every image she shares tells a story. Not just a pretty moment or a posed smile, but a cinematic, emotional narrative that feels timeless. The level of intention, artistry, and depth in each frame took my breath away. As a visual artist myself, I could instantly recognize the soul she brings to her craft. There’s nothing generic about her work. It’s textured, romantic, and strikingly beautiful. I wasn’t just looking for someone to document my wedding day. I wanted someone who could capture what it felt like. Kristi is that kind of photographer. Her communication throughout the duration of the planning process is impeccable to say the least. She gave me a very detailed timeline that helped keep the day on track. I also told her I had no idea what I was doing with my bouquet. Without hesitation, she made a stunning suggestion that ended up elevating my entire look and the photos. If you’re unsure about florals or finishing touches, ask Kristi. She has an eye for detail and elevates everything around her. What truly took me by surprise was how quickly we received our sneak peek photos; it almost felt instantaneous. I’m not going to lie; I was a bit nervous to open them. I’ve always admired Kristi’s brides and the way she photographs them with such grace and beauty, but I never imagined seeing myself in that same light. I had never pictured myself looking like someone out of a magazine. But the moment I saw them, my first thought was: Oh my god… this is me! And then I saw the two of us together, and it took my breath away. Kristi captured our connection, our emotions, our energy so effortlessly. These weren’t just pretty portraits. They were intimate, cinematic, and full of feeling. Receiving our full gallery felt like reliving the day through her lens. Every detail was documented with artistry; this was our love story, not just a collection of photos. When we got our full gallery, it was like reliving the day through a dream. Every glance, every detail, every moment was captured with care. She never interrupted the flow, yet she was always exactly where she needed to be. She guided gently when needed but gave us space to just be ourselves. She moved through the day with calm confidence, never rushing, never intrusive. I had also shared a few insecurities with Kristi, and she took everything into account. Her posing and angles were subtle and thoughtful. Nothing felt forced. At one point, I realized I was standing on my “bad side.” Without me saying a word, she showed me the image and said, “No bad side—it’s art. See?” And she was right. That photo became one of my favorites in the entire gallery. If you are a bride who values timeless imagery, intentional storytelling, and a photographer who captures not just the beauty but the soul of your wedding day, Kristi Telnov is the one. Her artistry is unmatched, her presence is grounding, and her eye for detail will turn your memories into fine art. Choosing Kristi was one of the best decisions we made. What she delivered wasn’t just a wedding gallery, it was a collection of memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

cousin hired Kristi as the photographer for her wedding. I remember seeing the photos and thinking wow these are beautiful, unique, different, and artistic. I MUST hire her when I get married! Kristi was the first vendor I reached out to just a couple days after I got engaged because I had to make sure I could book with her. She is an absolute dream to work with and her work speaks for itself! There is no other photographer in Pittsburgh like Kristi. I highly recommend booking with her if you are looking for absolutely stunning photos to remember your big day! My husband and I are over the moon in love with our wedding photos. Thank you, Kristi!
