Kristi was incredible from beginning to end. I got compliments on the day about how hard she was working! Our pictures turned out beautiful!
I have known Kristi as a past coworker and friend for many years. I've always known that when my wedding came I would want her to be my photographer because I've seen the quality of her work over the years. However, once I hired her I realized just how talented she is.
In addition to her photography and editing skills, she is extremely professional and prompt and able to keep things on track. She got all the important shots and knew how to pose people quickly, even the kids in our family shots. You should hire her with full confidence that she will capture the most important and beautiful moments from your wedding day.
I seriously cannot say enough great things about her, so just hire her!
We used Kristi, first, for our engagement photos. I was very nervous about this situation because I felt it would be awkward and the pictures would look that way, too. I was absolutely blown away by how welcoming, calming, and natural Kristi made us feel.
I KNEW that she had to be our wedding photographer.
The whole process was SO easy and natural. We sat down about a month before our wedding and I gave her a list of everything that I wanted photographed and she was happy to capture everything that I wanted. On our wedding day, she was timely and always where I wanted her to be even without me telling her!
I would highly recommend her to anyone for any photographing occasion.
I know that we will definitely use her in the future for capture our growing family.
It's hard to find a photographer when your thousands of miles away. When I first inquired about our wedding, Kristi was responsive, informative and always available which in my case was important considering the distance. All of the engagement and wedding pictures turned out great! She made my husband and I feel comfortable from day one. She brought suggestions that were outside the box and in line with our vision. I couldn't have picked a better photographer!
Kristi is an AMAZING photographer. She has a personality that works so well with others! Weddings are stressful events but having Kristi as your photographer gives you one less thing to be stressed out about.
Kristi is the most AMAZING photographer! I met her about six years ago when she did a family photo shoot for me and have used her ever since. She has become more like a family friend, my boys just love her! Kristi is kind, patient and brilliant behind the camera. I just had my maternity photos done and they are like pictures you see on Pinterest, I can't wait to see what see comes up with for the newborn pictures!! I will never you another photographer!!
Simply said you will not find a more professional photographer that takes bettter pictures than Kristi. She has that eye and she is a true pro.
Kristi is so amazing! I had an outdoor wedding in July ( who does that?) and she couldn't have made my day any easier. Even though it was 100 degrees and sunny, Kristi was right there with us all day getting my dream wedding shots. Kristi has taken my high school graduation pictures, all the way to my wedding pictures, and I have been blown away every time. After my wedding pictures were finished, all my bridesmaids and friends asked me her name so they could book her when it was their time. Hands down the best photographer around!!
My wife and I met with a few photographers before we met with Kristi, and once we met with Kristi the search was over! Not only is Kristi very talented, she's also very personable and made everything run extremely smoothly on our wedding day. We couldn't be more happy that Kristi captured our day!!
My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristi and her amazing work! I had gone to a few Bridal shows shortly after I was engaged just to grab everything from all the vendors. When it came to picking out the photographer there was only one person who's card I had grabbed at every event...and yes, it was Kristi's!! From the first meeting my husband and I had with her, we knew we wanted to work with her. She understood our fun & outgoing personalities and was able to capture that in every photo she took of us. I was blown away with all of our engagement and wedding photos!! She had great energy when she was taking our photos which made my husband and I feel very comfortable with her. We are now looking forward to the next time we get to work with her which will hopefully be very soon!
👨⚕️ I couldn't have been happier with how both my engagement and wedding pictures came out that Kristi took for us . She was very patient with us and took breathtaking pictures of us . We will definitely be using her again once we have a baby.
Kristi is amazing! She is very friendly and really knows what she is doing. We met with her beforehand to go over what kind pictures we wanted, and she put together a schedule for the day, which really helped us out. The day of our wedding, she was with us all day to make sure every moment was captured. The pictures turned out perfectly! Kristi really is the best!
Kristi did an incredible job as our wedding photographer, not only did our engagement photos turn out perfect so did our wedding photos. She made everyone feel so comfortable and caught so many absolutely beautiful moments!
Kristi is the best to work with, not only did we change our date on her, we changed times, days of the week and venue! She was so accommodating and made it all work out.
We will be calling Kristi for our all our life's moments!!
Thank you,
Niccole
We had a small intimate wedding and Kristi did a fabulous job. Meeting before was so helpful in assuring she would capture the kinds of photos we wanted and all the details that were important to us. Before and during the ceremony and through the reception you didn't even know she was there. Some of the best memories of the day were capturing candid shots with our daughters before the ceremony, laughing, and simply enjoying the moments. The photos are beautiful and we have received countless compliments. You will not be dissapointed, Kristi does great work!!
Kristi was absolutely amazing to work with! She was always so friendly and really made an effort to make us feel as comfortable as possible going into our big day. We met twice before the wedding to talk over details and then also walked around the venue about a week before. We even extended our time a few weeks out and she had no problem adding the extra hour. On wedding day, everything went wonderfully. Kristi was so relaxed and I think that really set the tone for the rest of the wedding party, as well as my husband and I. It was over 100 degrees outside, but I don't think anyone could tell from the pictures. She did a great job coordinating getting the outside shots I wanted and also keeping everyone cool. After the wedding, we were so pleased to get our images. She truly did capture every detail and we will cherish those moments for the rest of our lives.
I got married about 6 months ago. I went looking for a photographer and found Kristi on the Knot. When I started looking at her website, I noticed a family friend had also used her for their wedding. I was sold at that point. Kristi made our day easy and relaxed. Our pictures are beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything better.
There are not enough words of thanks and gradatude for Kristi! She truly is an amazing person and photographer ! From the moment we met her she was there for is with anything we needed and was there to answer any questions we had and I had a lot. The day of our wedding she came and made me feel so comfortable I'm not always okay with how I look and she took great care to make me feel the most amazing I've ever felt. She asked us to make a list of shots we wanted and on the day of the wedding we got every shot we asked for. We got our pictures back and I cried with how good they were. We deff will be using her again for any of our future picture needs. You can't have better person shooting your wedding than Kristi
Kristi did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! I am so grateful for the many things she did that put us at ease, including being responsive and helpful throughout the process. And our photos are amazing! She captured many wonderful moments in such a beautiful way. She also went above and beyond with the beautiful wedding video she created for us. We will treasure it forever as a way to remember our wedding day! Her willingness to work with my ideas and thoughts while bringing in her own expertise was perfect. She made the whole process so easy and I knew I didn’t have to worry with her in charge of capturing the day!
On our wedding day she was prompt, genuinely friendly, confident and flexible. She knew how to direct us while also allowing moments to happen naturally. Kristi was very attentive to the list of photos that we wanted and made sure to capture them all. I didn’t have to think about it once throughout the day. She provided us with more high quality and beautiful photos than we will know what to do with! I definitely recommend her for engagement and wedding photography. She exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful for all that she did. Thank you, Kristi!
Kristi was great! She is very personable. Everyone loved her and she captured all the photos I asked and more!
The most amazing photos for the most perfect day! Our wedding was on Halloween and was somewhat non-traditional, from the music, down to the bride's black wedding dress - Kristi captured the essence of our day with the perfect mix of classic and candid shots all with a relaxed, care-free approach. Kristi's professionalism, attention to detail, and creative panache made our special day, truly spectacular. We couldn't recommend her more highly! 10 stars!
From the moment we met with Kristi I knew instantly that she was going to be our wedding photographer. Kristi was the first and ONLY photographer we met with. I knew our personalities would work well together plus all of her photos are just gorgeous! She shot our engagement photos in April of 2015 and then our wedding the following October. I was very nervous for engagement pictures simply because I am not super comfortable in front of the camera. After the first couple of minutes we started to warm up. Kristi made us feel so comfortable and helped us with every pose. We got our engagement pictures back not even two weeks after the shoot and I cried as I was looking through them! They turned out so AMAZING! Kristi designed our Save the Dates for us at a good price and we received so many compliments on them. They were perfect! Then our wedding came and Kristi was more like a friend that day than a stranger snapping pictures of us on our wedding day. She was so calm and sweet but still smiling and laughing the whole day. She knew our style by that point and took advantage of every opportunity to get a great photo. Kristi even made our bridal party feel comfortable in front of the camera and had a great time with them! In fact, several of them said, "Wow, your photographer knows what she's doing! I love her, she's so sweet." She's just amazing and so easy to work with! Now for the best part...Kristi designed the MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding album for my husband and me. Oh my goodness, I cried again as I was flipping through the pages! It is just so nice to have something so special for us to look back on to remember one of the best day of our lives. I already know when our family expands Kristi will be the photographer of our babies. She's so easy to communicate with and, in my opinion, has such great style when it comes to photography. We are customers for life! You will not be disappointed if you go with Kristi as your photographer for any event in your life.
Kristi did a wonderful job for us! We had a small, outdoor wedding and we couldn't be happier with the photos. She was very friendly and easy to work with and she did a great job of working with us ahead of time to plan out the day. She had a great touch for when to give direction and when to blend in and capture some great candid shots. Thanks Kristi!
We had the pleasure of working with Kristi who did our wedding back in September. She was very professional, open to our ideas, flexible, and able to capture the key moments without any assistance. We barely knew she was there and was able to taking amazing photos of the entire event. All the photos turned out amazing and perfect that we can cherish forever. It was great to have them laid out so that we can walk through the whole night from start to finish w/o missing a beat. Thanks so much for allowing us to never be able to forget that wonderful day!
Kristi did our wedding in June 2014. She was truly amazing! She was very flexible and she did well with our young daughter. She was very patient with her and very easy going. She took fantastic pictures! She listened to what I wanted and she came up with great ideas for pictures as well. The whole thing went smoothly thanks to her. She stuck to her timeline and she was able to capture a lot of amazing photos that we will cherish forever. I would recommend her to anyone! We loved her so much that we had her do our family photos as well. We are really pleased with her and will continue to go to her with all of our photography needs. She is truly an exceptional photographer and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so much Kristi!
Kristi was wonderful to work with! She contacted us ahead of time to determine our needs and wants regarding photos the day of the wedding, and organized a schedule to get in everything we wanted. She was prompt and super friendly, and the photos are superb!
Before booking my photographer, I was given advice from a co-worker to look for someone I would want to spend my entire wedding day with. The moment I met with Kristi, I knew she was the one! She was calm and professional, and had so many beautiful images and albums of past weddings and products for me to look at, I felt very confident going with her. I loved that each wedding she shot was original, not the same location or poses over and over. She set the mood for the day, and helped distract me from the chaos going on around us. She coordinated seamlessly with my other vendors, and kept us right on schedule for the day. The day flew by, and after the wedding I couldn’t wait to see my pictures! They were more beautiful than I could have ever hoped for. I was stunned by her ability to capture details that I hadn’t even noticed, or didn’t even remember seeing. Her composition and lighting set her images apart from any other wedding photographs I have seen. My husband and I cannot wait for her to photograph all of the big events in our lives!
FABULOUS JOB! Kristi is so inviting and comfortable to be around and really gets creative shots that you would never even have thought of. If you would like someone who takes quality time with you to make sure your pictures are just perfect, then Kristi is your girl!!!
Kristi is AMAZING!! I could not imagine a better wedding photographer! She was so thoughtful in the shots that she captured on our wedding day. She photographed all of the little details that I spent so much time preparing, unexpected and funny little moments throughout the day, and, of course, every big moment that I had dreamed about since I was a little girl. Her vision is incredible and absolutely beautiful. Her photographs are breathtaking. I will cherish all of mine forever!
Unfortunately, Kristi did not photograph my wedding. In retrospect I wish that I would have hired her. She did, however, come to my rescue and design my wedding album. She was amazing to work with and the album is everything that I had imagined. She took photos from another photographer and made them look amazing. I highly recommend Kristi for all of your photography needs. You will not be disappointed in her professionalism, promptness, creativity and overall customer service.
My husband and I got married on July, 12, 2015 at The Aspen Room and Rooftop in downtown Lee's Summit. I had no worries that Kristi was going to do an amazing job. When we received our pictures I was blown away. Kristi captured every moment of our day. Every time my husband and I look at our pictures we can relive the best day of our lives!
When we began planning our wedding, we did a lot of research on wedding photographers. We scoured websites, checked out pictures of friends' weddings and met with various photographers at shows. We originally were recommended Kristi Whitney through a friend, and after checking out her work on her website and meeting her in person, we knew that she was going to be a part of our wedding weekend. Kristi not only produces beautiful images, but she's able to turn those posed family pictures into natural, candid pictures where each personality shines through. Her work speaks for itself, but her personality is truly one that you must have around you on your wedding day. She is enthusiastic, comforting and makes you feel so very special. She is a must to reserve for your big day!
Kristi is absolutely amazing! When I first started planning my wedding my mother gave me one piece of advice and that was "Your wedding photos are the only thing that last a life time, make sure you hire a good photographer" and we did just that! Kristi went above and beyond any expectation I could have ever had. She has the ability to capture the most stunning pictures in the middle of shear chaos. Kristi is so down to earth and calm and down to earth that it was extremely easy to remain calm and comfortable in front of the camera allowing my husband and I's wedding pictures to be amazing. Kristi was not only our wedding photographer but will forever be our life long photographer for all life changing events! Thank you for making our wedding day amazing.
When I began planning my wedding the first thing I told me fiancé was that after the ceremony our wedding photos were the most important thing to me. I looked at just a few photographers before my maid of honor and I found Kristi's booth at a bridal show. Her displays were breathtaking and I knew that she was the photographer for me. Leading up to the wedding I never felt pressured or nervous about the job that she would do. The day of the wedding she arrived early because of the rain. She was fun and fit right in with us! I loved that she gave us some direction but didn't try to control everything. She took some amazing, AMAZING photos! I couldn't be happier with the memories captured. Thank you Kristi for doing such a great job. If you are reading this you want to hire Kristi Whitney Photography! I am one happy bride!
Make sure you understand her style. We chose her because her example photos were awesome, and we thought we were getting classic photos. Group photos were washed out because we were in the shade and they were lightened, and dance photos had spotlights in the faces of the bride and groom. Uses a lot of negative space in bridal party photos.
My wedding was September 26th, 2014 & Kristi Whitney was my photographer! Overall she did the engagement photos, wedding & I also hired her to do my boudoir shoot for my husbands wedding day gift! On all three special occasions she exceeded my expectations. I have a huge heart for photography. It's my hobby, my passion, my muse, if I could have I would have photographed my own wedding! Knowing full well I couldn't do that I had a lot of anxiety looking for a photographer. I must have met with 8-10 different photographers before I met Kristi & she won me over. She was professional, sweet, respectful, humble & honest with my husband and I which made us both feel much more comfortable with our decision to choose her! She is by far one of the best photographers I've come across! When I got the engagement photos, I cried, when I got my boudoir album, I cried & of course I was crying looking through the wedding photos! She captures not only the moments we want to remember but she also finds a way to capture the emotion too. She never puts her camera down, she keeps shooting to get every angle & doesn't miss a moment. She kept a strict timeline the wedding day so she could get everything we wanted & she was also a friend who was able to distract us & keep tension low when the stress seemed to rise. I didn't have to worry about what she was shooting & what the photos looked like, I was able to trust her fully throughout everything & I wasn't let down! She is full of happiness, excitement & so much talent! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is an amazing photographer who has passion & loves what she does with all her heart & that's hard to find. After we got the wedding day photos & finished looking through them my husband says "She's going to photograph our future babies, isn't she?" & I said "Absolutely!!!!" we both loved her & as long as she is in this business she has us as customers for life. I highly recommend her to everyone that I talk to about photography & so does my husband & family. We all just loved her & we are so thankful that we chose Kristi Whitney to capture our biggest life moments...so far!
Kristi was our photographer for our wedding last August. She did an amazing job capturing the moments that mean the most to us! For an affordable price, you get great results!
Kristi is an amazing photographer! She was so easy to work with, and had lots of great ideas for us regarding locations, poses, etc. She made the whole process very easy, so we didn’t feel like we were being “posey”. She made sure that we felt natural and comfortable and captured some wonderful photos. Since then, we have welcomed a daughter into our family. Kristi is now our “go-to” photographer for family photos. She has done our daughter’s newborn and birthday photos and they were beyond fantastic! We are so pleased with ALL the photos Kristi has taken for us through the last few years. She has such an artistic eye, and is very talented. You will not be sorry if you choose Kristi Whitney as your photographer!
Kristi shot our wedding almost exactly a year ago today! She was super easy to work with and extremely positive! She responded to my emails quickly and helped me pick out the best photo package that suited my wedding day! Her photos are one-of-a-kind and we loved them! I recommend Kristi to all of my friends!
Kristi is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is relaxed, flexible, and fun! Our photos were absolutely gorgeous and everything we wanted them to be. We didn't give her a ton of direction and she still managed to give us exactly what we were looking for. I never felt like I had to instruct her or make sure that she wasn't missing something -- she was completely on top of it! She is completely professional but also approachable and made everyone feel comfortable. We also loved that we were able to get all of our photos without watermarks so that we could get our own prints. Kristi is wonderfully talented. You will not be disappointed!
Kristi has a true talent in photography! She has a great eye for what will look good and will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot! She gave us so many great photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life! She is always the photography I recommend to anyone in the Kansas City Area! :)
I am so glad that we chose to go with Kristi Whitney Photography. We had her do both our engagement photo shoot as well as our wedding. I think this was beneficial as we got to know each other at the engagement photo shoot. It really made me feel comfortable. Both sets of photos turned out amazing! We also got all of our images in a little shy of 6 weeks after the wedding! She gives you all of the print rights and the images are on a beautiful flash drive. We also selected a package that included a print credit, and while we have not yet picked out those photos I am confident based on her performance so far that the prints from the print credit will be wonderful as well.
Kristi is so awesome! Not only are her pictures gorgeous, but she is so fabulous to work with. She is very flexible and takes very natural looking pictures. I would recommend her 1000 times! Definitely will be using her in the future for other photography.
I was attracted to Kristi's photography style, bright colors and natural shots! Kristi is very easy to work with! She customized a photo package that worked best for us and answered all of my questions! I gave Kristi minimal requests and she exceeded my expectations! We received our photos in 6 weeks, along with a beautiful wooden flash drive containing our high resolution photos. I would recommend Kristi to anyone who wants beautiful photos with a reasonable price tag! Thank you Kristi!
Kristi did such an amazing job on our wedding and engagement pictures. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that she was able to capture our day so well. She is truly the best around and I plan on using her in the future as life and our family progresses :)
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kristi for our wedding, and loved our experience. We have a large family, so there were a lot of people with a lot of opinions, and she was able to capture every moment for everyone. We truly enjoyed working with her, and love our wedding album that she designed. Kristi is creative, patient, and as sweet as can be, which are perfect traits for a photographer.
Kristi is not only an amazing photographer, she has become a great friend to my husband and I. When we found out we were pregnant we called Kristi to help with our announcements. She helped create and design the announcements, and keep it a secret until we announced our pregnancy. We would highly recommend Kristi for your wedding and all future photography!!
Kristi was such an amazing person to work with! I knew when we first met that she would be the wedding photographer I wanted to use because she was so nice and easy to talk to! She listened to every detail I told her about my schedule and what kind of pictures I wanted! I was so pleased with her work, her pictures were amazing and turn around time was unbelievable! My husband and I were both very happy with all she did for us on our special day!
Kristi is an amazing photographer and I am so glad that we hired her! She is so sweet and very easy to work with. She had good ideas for poses for engagement and wedding photos and was quick with what she had us do. She doesn't waste your time and gets amazing shots quickly so you can enjoy the rest of your wedding day with friends and family. I asked her to do some specific poses with us, which she remember on the day of the wedding so I didn't have to. Our wedding and engagement photos were exceptional and going back, I know we made the right choice by asking her to be our photographer. I wouldn't change a thing, and I absolutely recommend her to any other brides who are in need of a photographer. You will not be disappointed!
Kristi is very easy going and a joy to work with! She has a variety of packages to offer and takes beautiful photos! She is so much more reasonable than most photographers at the same caliber.
