About this vendor
Hi there! I'm Kristin Cofer, and I'm a wedding photographer based in Pacifica, CA. Photography has been my passion since I was a child and discovered a drawer full of family photos that inspired me to capture moments in time that would be cherished for generations.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of shooting all sorts of subjects, from musicians and artists to commercial shoots and portraits. But there's something truly special about capturing the love and joy of a wedding day. In 2018, I had the opportunity to photograph a 20-year wedding anniversary in Hawaii, and I was struck by how beautiful it was to connect with the family and capture their love. That experience led me to expand my business to include wedding photography.
When it comes to taking photos, my main goal is to make my subjects feel good. I'm a highly empathetic person, and I love connecting with people to help them feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even if you're feeling a little shy, I promise I'll help you relax and capture the most authentic images possible.
Aside from photography, I'm passionate about music and I'm always happy to pet any cat or dog that comes my way. If you're looking for a creative photographer who can bring out the best in every situation, I'd love to talk to you! I'm available for engagement, weddings, and portraits in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.

ecisions the day of the wedding.
The day of the wedding, she made us feel extremely comfortable, when our nerves were running high. She helped us navigate City Hall, and was able to capture some wonderfully candid photos before the wedding. After the wedding, she worked with us and our family on locations, posing, and learning to relax in front of the camera, which was really helpful. It really helped us to be in the moment.
Her personality is also warm, friendly, and enthusiastic — making the overall experience extremely positive. The whole experience was very easy-going and we never got the sense of being rushed. She was also very quick to get us the photos after the wedding. Needless to say, we are very happy with photos and moments she was able to capture.
Kristin is professional and is such a delight to work with. We’re not models and know nothing about posing, but we still wanted to capture our best day and still wanted the photos ...
to show our best light. And Kristin gave us that and more. Kristin sent us some poses to practice, before the big day. She made us feel like a million dollars during the shoot. She captured all candid moments that worked with non-model people like us and again made us feel wonderful. The photos came back so quickly and beautiful. She’s a true artist and great friend. I’ll recommend Kristin to our friends going forward, without a doubt.
Kristin is just amazing. We were so lucky to have her photograph both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and we now have the most incredible selection of photos capturing the me...
mories of our beautiful day. The photos really speak for themselves, but she is also so easy breezy to work with, full of creative ideas for shots and just a lovely person. It's clear that she loves what she does, as does her wonderful sister Kaitlin who assisted with the photography on our big day. Some comments from family and friends on our wedding photos:
"Wow Viveca these are so beautiful!!! I especially love all of the ones of you and Evan out on the bluff by the ocean. Kristin did such a good job and you guys look so great and happy."
"Beautiful, beautiful beautiful - Kristin really did a great job."
"Your photos are beautiful! Wow! What a great photographer."
"Those are absolutely spectacular."

stin was making things happen -- looking for great angles for shots, bringing out crystals, and special cameras for double exposures. The result was fantastic photos of all sorts. Exactly what we wanted.
Kristin is so awesome! She is based in the Bay Area but flew down to my wedding in San Diego. My husband and I had never had any professional photos taken of us so it was a little ...
awkward at first but Kristin coached us through it all. She was organized, really easy to work with and even gave us a few tips for the big day! She made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera and I'm so grateful she was a part of our big day!
