I can’t say enough good things about Kristi, she is INCREDIBLY talented!!!! A true artist, not just someone with a camera. We just got our engagement photos back and they complete...
ly blew us away. I was nervous going in since I’m not particularly photogenic, but she made the whole shoot feel easy. She was so good at directing us into poses, every shot looks like it belongs in a magazine.
On top of being talented, she’s also so helpful and kind, you can tell she genuinely cares about making the experience a positive one, not just getting the shots. She helped us pick the location and gave us tips on what to wear beforehand, which took so much stress off since we had no idea where to even start with any of that. Little things like that made such a difference, and the shoot itself felt relaxed and fun instead of stressful.
We’ve had a lot of couple/family photos taken over the years, and these are hands down the best we’ve ever had. We’ve already sent these pics to everyone we know, and we’ve never received as many compliments in our lives. Honestly, I can’t wait to get married just so I have an excuse to book her again. If you need an engagement or wedding photographer, booking her will be THE best decision you make for your big day.
I first came across Kristi Telnov’s work on my venue’s website. One image stopped me in my tracks, and I immediately asked who the photographer was. As soon as I found her name, I ...
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.
Let me start by saying Kristi is a magician with posing and lighting! I still can’t believe how incredible my wedding photos are. I look at the album every day!
Eight years ago my...
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!
Kristi was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Her shots are so creative, unique and truly capture the moment. She was so easy to work with and the direction she provid...
ed was spot on. You 1000% need to hire her as your wedding photographer as she exceeded our expectations and flawlessly achieved our vision. I cannot stop looking at our photos and I cannot wait to get them printed. Thank you so much Kristi! You truly made our wedding a dream.
Kristi and her videography team Olga were such rockstars from the start of the day till the end of the night! At their hearts, they are creative artists who use the film and lens ...
for their canvases! Their editorial style work, vision for how light dances with the shadows and their ability to see a 4-dimensional image created the most amazing wedding photos we have ever seen! We had such high expectations, and they blew those completely out of the water! Kristi made us feel like supermodels and they truly make you feel so comfortable! We have gotten so many compliments on how stunning our photos are 🤍
Kristi is so talented and her work is absolutely beautiful! I booked with her almost two years out from our wedding because I KNEW I had to have her photograph my special day. She ...
was so helpful and answered all of my questions from the beginning to the end! On the day of my wedding, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I am so awkward and am not sure how to pose and she helped me with all of that. She had us doing so many different shots and poses, I couldn’t wait to see the pictures! She captured so many special moments from our day and when I saw her sneak peek photos, my jaw literally dropped!! She really captures the raw moments and I will always be grateful that. We had several photos printed from her in several different sizes, ordered a leather back 50 page book and ordered two parent books! When we received the book and went through it, the memories came flooding back from that day. I am so thankful for Kristi and her amazing work. I will cherish these pictures and moments forever. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

getting teasers of my wedding gallery on instagram while we waited for the finished product. Kristi also finished my wedding photos SO FAST.
We used Kristi for both our engagement, and wedding photos, and we really really recommend her.
We hired Kristi to take anniversary photos of us. During the photo session it started to rain a bit, it was also freezing cold, but Kristi kept shooting. She was so enthusiastic ab...
out the shots she was taking that even in the freezing cold, we were super motivated to keep going. She was incredibly professional and friendly the entire time and made us feel very comfortable. I had the edited photos about two weeks after our session and we could not be any happier. They are as amazing as I had hoped for. I would highly recommend her!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Kristi is such an amazing talent! I absolutely adore my wedding photos! My family and I can not thank her enough for capturing our special day! Her work is s...
imply beautiful from her lighting to edits! My husband and I had so much fun taking our portraits with her and love every single image! Her turn around time is very quick, we got our entire album back 3 weeks after our wedding! I can't wait to get my prints and fill our entire home with her images. I hope my husband and I get the chance to work with her again in the future when we starts a family of our own. If you are thinking about using Kristi for your wedding, DO IT! You will be beyond happy with the outcome! :)

n before she takes it. All of our pictures our amazing that I can’t pick a favorite. People continue to comment how phenomenal they are. I could not be happier. Just look at her blog and you will see what I am talking about. We will definitely be using her in the future. Kristi is a gem and “working” with her on our wedding day was just like hanging out with a friend!
Kristi’s work is beyond amazing and I couldn’t imagine having any other photographer capturing our wedding day. Our friends and family were blown away by our sneak peak pictures an...
d I’m anxiously awaiting to see the rest! Thank you so much Kristi!
My husband and I hired Kristi as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. Truthfully, she is worth every penny! I told her that I really wanted photos in an antique ...
car, but I hadn't had much luck finding one. She posted on her social media page, and within days put me in contact with a friend of hers. It all worked out perfectly, thankfully it didn't rain! The car was absolutely perfect, and I never would have found it without Kristi's help. The photos are truly extraordinary.
Before I met Kristi, I felt nervous about how to pose in our photographs. Immediately after working with her, I felt completely at ease. The direction that she provides feels natural. She also knows the best locations for taking photos. We shot some pictures in an alley in Pittsburgh, and they look like they belong in a magazine. She is truly an artist, and I am blessed to have had her as our photographer.
If I had to do it all again, I would not even hesitate to hire Kristi. I love her work, her energy, and her positive attitude. She will go above and beyond to ensure your pictures are everything you have always dreamed.
Kristi is so completely wonderful to work with! Her artistic photography caught my eye when searching for photographers on multiple social platforms, and I couldn't get enough of e...
very single photo I looked at. You can just see for yourself, trust me. We are so incredibly happy we had the chance to work with her, and hired her to photograph our wedding. We cannot stop looking at all of the photos. Highly recommended!
I still don't know how we got so lucky to have Kristi Telnov Photography for our wedding day!!! We just finished our engagement session and our pictures are beyond our wildest drea...
ms. She created beautiful art with two very awkward people. We are not used to having our photos taken in general and with it freezing outside (we did a winter session), I'm shocked by how amazing they all turned out. She did such an amazing job that we are trying to find excuses to book her for more sessions!! We cannot get enough of our photos and wish we could just have her take our photos forever!!! We cannot wait until our June wedding to see what magic she can create with even more time and more ideal weather conditions!!!
Kristi is absolutely phenomenal! I knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer as soon as I saw her work and was thrilled that she was available! She is incredibly talented...
and her ability to capture the light is unparalleled. I received so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos - people were just blown away by her work. Aside from her talent, she is wonderful to work with - so kind and very responsive. Our wedding day was captured so perfectly by her and we never once got off schedule, which is rare on a wedding day. Kristi was able to capture so many amazing details of the day and captured the emotion so well. I hope we get the chance to work with her again in the future!
Kristi exceeded our expectations for our wedding day. We were very thoughtful and selective when choosing a wedding photographer and I am so happy we went with her. She is very p...
rofessional and takes her expertise very seriously. She captured so many wonderful moments and candids throughout the day and we are reliving the moments through her photos over and over. Her work is beautiful, romantic, whimsical and we couldn't be happier! She is also so fun to work with and will have you laughing all day! You will not be disappointed!
Kristi is the most beautiful photographer and easiest person to work with! She always responds quickly and was very patient answering all my questions. For my pre-wedding shoot wit...
h her, I bounced a lot of ideas off her and she gave me great suggestions and honest feedback about what we needed to do to recreate my vision in real life. Leading up to our wedding day, she asks questions to make sure everyone is on the same page and she can jump in as soon as she arrives. It is obvious Kristi is a professional and has so much experience, because she asks questions I would have never even thought about. She was incredibly helpful in getting all the different combination of family shots I wanted and was so efficient in working with Heinz Chapel's strict 1 hour limit, that we ended up getting more pictures than I had ever imagined possible. She was so good at coaching us, our families, and our wedding party that the pictures felt so natural and enjoyable. As a photographer, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and paid attention to every detail. The pictures are incredible and I couldn't imagine our wedding without Kristi. If you want stunning photographs and the best experience, Kristi is it!
