About this vendor
Photography and the connection I build with each couple are inseparable. My passion is to pursue genuine connections and provide a high touch experience that is tailored to your vision and personality. Your photos will express the height and depth of your story and organically portray your love from the inside out.
By the time your wedding day arrives, I will be another friend in the room, which allows me to fully capture you authentically. Every moment matters - the big and small all create your story. I want each of you to reflect on your photos in years to come and be brought right back to the very feelings, setting and ambiance from your wedding day.
I have captured destination weddings from all over Europe, South Africa and the United States with weddings in Asia and South America to come next year as well. Photography and travel continue to be beautifully intertwined in my life to create art. (Europe and U.S. based)

Truly such an incredible photographer, we cannot recommend Kristin enough!!! Not only does she capture the most beautiful photos, but she is also such a joy to work with. She bring...
s such a calm, positive energy that makes the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable.
Kristin truly has a magic touch. I couldn’t be happier with how she captured our special day. Her calm presence, creativity, and attention to detail made all the difference. She wa...
s the only vendor who made me feel completely at ease and at peace. She was always quick to respond and instantly understood my vision without needing any explanation.
Look no further, Kristen is IT! As someone who works in an industry where I’m constantly collaborating with various fashion photographers, I had a very specific creative vision for...
what I wanted out of our big day. I looked tirelessly online, scouring dozens of photographers portfolios before stumbling upon Kristin. From the moment I saw her work I knew she was the one. It was practically my entire mood board. I reached out of the blue and was able to secure our date. Kristin was such a gem from the very first correspondence. We didn’t have a traditional wedding, just a small courthouse moment in which she was super flexible in working with our timing. Meeting her on our wedding morning went above and beyond my expectations. Her energy was so warm and contagious. I am probably the most awkward person in front of a camera and she made me feel comfortable and at ease so I didn’t look (or feel) completely embarrassing. The content she captured exceeded all my expectations, and I’m thrilled to have this collection of photos to remember our special day.
Kristin is the whole. damn. package. I initially reached out after finding her work on Instagram and being struck by the light and feeling she captured in every photo — the kind of...
effortless elegance I was in search of. Not forced, but bold in all the right ways. Fast forward a few months and we had her take our engagement photos in NYC. As two people who are not used to being in front of the camera, she made the day easy, fun, and brought out the best in us. I had initially just booked Kristin for just the wedding day, but after NYC I decided to have her for the welcome party and rehearsal dinner the days before. It was the best decision we made. Having Kristin's consistent presence, calming confidence, and grounded humor surrounding us is something I'll forever be grateful for. I had complete trust in Kristin's vision and approach, so much so that I never even sent an inspo photo or talked about a "shot list." The days together were filled with laughter as she helped me navigate through all the nerves, mishaps, etc...and I was really able to focus on the feeling of each moment without thinking about a camera being in the room. I felt so comfortable in front of her lens and it shows in every shot. Each photo is a pool of joy and articulates the beauty of the moment just as it was. They are simply stunning. I am so grateful for the life-long memories she captured, but I am even more grateful for the friendship we formed and the experience of doing it all together. My only advice for any brides reading this review — don't wait, lock it in!!!
From the moment I found Kristin’s portfolio, I knew she was the photographer for us. I remember scrambling to write an inquiry email after just 60 seconds of browsing her website a...
nd being in such a rush to get in touch with her. Her work had the exact style we were searching for - elevated, timeless, effortless, cinematic, editorial, and emotional all at the same time. You can literally feel the connection between the couples she shoots. It’s not just 2D photos - it’s a genuine, unmistakable energy.
When we first reached out, she was sadly unavailable on our original date. I remember being SO upset about it. After multiple persuasive conversations with my family and planner, we decided to CHANGE OUR WEDDING DATE to ensure we could have her. We also extended past our budget to make it work, and I would do it again a thousand times over.
What was just as important to us as the photos themselves was finding a genuinely good human to spend the weekend with. You’re with your photographer through some of the most intimate, stressful, and joyful moments of your wedding, and in our opinion, the energy they bring matters just as much as the art they create. Kristin was everything we hoped for and more.
Between booking her officially and our wedding weekend, we became fast friends. She offered feedback on all things fashion and overall design - things most photographers likely never think to help with, but she just jumped in because she cared. When we met in person for the first time, there was such an immediate connection. Afterward, I remember telling my partner, “I knew she was the one!”
Leading up to the wedding, both my partner and I had some anxiety about being the center of attention (we’re definitely introverts), and Kristin was such a calming presence. She made the photography part of the weekend so seamless. She worked quickly, had the most creative ideas, and seemed to know exactly what we wanted without us needing to ask. It felt so casual and low-stress. We never once had to think about which shots to take - she handled everything with confidence and artistry.
Some of the moments I remember most clearly from the weekend weren’t even the big ones, they were the in-betweens. Laughing with her during outfit changes, makeup/hair touch-ups, and sprinting around the house. Parts of the weekend are a blur because of the stress and excitement, but I vividly remember our hangs because she brought so much light, comfort, and fun into the experience.
And the photos…we’re obsessed. She sent a preview within 48 hours, which blew us away, and our highlight gallery couldn’t be more impressive. Every image is perfect and SO US. She’s a true artist and really captured the essence of our relationship. That’s why the photos feel so aligned.
Kristin is one of those rare individuals who radiates love, kindness, and positive energy, and we’re honestly so grateful she was part of our wedding. She didn’t just capture beautiful photos, she shaped the entire experience. We adore her, and I feel so lucky to say we’ll be friends for life.
Wish I could give more stars -- 20/10 experience!
I knew from the second I saw Kristin’s work that i wanted her to capture our mountain wedding in Banff, and I’m so glad we picked her. During the wedding she was so kind, personabl...
e, communicative and helpful. She made sure authentic moments were documented just as the day and moments flowed. After seeing our full gallery I was so happy to see so many photos of us but also moments with guests and all the little details in such a beautiful way. Her work is truly art and we are so so thankful to have had her document our special day!
The only request I had for my wedding was that Kristin be our photographer, and looking back, it was the best decision we made. Not only did we have her capture our special day, bu...
t we also had the gift of having her be a part of it.
Yes, Kristin creates absolute magic with her camera, but behind the lens, she is magic too. She has this calming energy that makes you feel instantly at ease, and she engages with everyone in such a genuine way that it feels like she becomes part of your family for those hours.
When you look through Kristin’s work, you’ll see many breathtaking images from big weddings, but ours was small and intimate, and she captured it with the same artistry, depth, and beauty. If you’re planning a smaller wedding, Kristin has a remarkable ability to make every moment, no matter how grand or intimate, feel timeless and full of meaning.
With Kristin, you’re not only hiring your dream photographer, you’re welcoming someone into your day who will leave you with memories you’ll treasure forever, and you’ll always be grateful she was in the room with you!
I truly couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our wedding day. Kristin is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a trusted friend whose presence brought such a cal...
mness to my day. What I love most about her work is her organic, in-the-moment approach, she never interrupts the moment, she simply becomes part of it. Nothing feels overly posed or curated, and yet every image is magic. Kristin has this rare ability to capture the energy, emotion, and tiny in-between moments that bring our photos to life. Truly an incredible soul with an incredible talent, forever grateful for these beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. Xx
Working with Kristin Piteo was nothing short of a dream come true. I discovered her work years before I was even engaged, and from that moment, I knew she was the only person I wan...
ted to capture my future wedding. Her photography is pure magic—artistic, emotive, and timeless.
Beyond her immense talent behind the lens, Kristin is a truly extraordinary person with such a radiant spirit.
From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she brought our New York City love story to life with breathtaking beauty and authenticity. Every image tells a story, every moment is preserved with such care and creativity. I’m already dreaming up future milestones just for the opportunity to work with her again. She is, without a doubt, one of a kind!
Kristin is the ultimate translator of dreams. From our initial phone call to our very last shot together, Kristin guided us through our wedding weekend with warmth and ease. She ca...
n take any moment and create magic. This comes from her innate ability to foster relationships with her brides and those closest to them. Kristin feels like a friend, capturing one of life's biggest and most cherished moments. I hope to work with her again- whenever that time comes. Thank you, Kristin!!
Kristin is by far the best photographer in the wedding industry- full stop. She absolutely exceeded all of my expectations for my wedding day & I couldn’t recommend her more. She i...
s an expert at capturing the authentic/genuine moments (not easy to do) and bringing your vision to life flawlessly. My wedding photos are my favorite photos I’ve ever owned and it’s all because of her! Beyond all of this, Kristin’s energy is palpable and she kept me calm throughout the day- this is key in a photographer. Things can overwhelming and she helped make sure the day went smoothly. I’d recommend Kristin 100/10- I absolutely adore her and cannot wait to work with her again in the near future :)
If you are searching for a wedding photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also deeply invested in making your vision come to life, look no further than Kristin! We ha...
d the pleasure of working with her on three separate occasions (engagement shoot, courthouse wedding, actual wedding), and every single experience was beyond perfect.
Her photography style is nothing short of magical—elegant and timeless. She has an incredible eye for capturing candid moments and making every shot feel natural yet artistic. From the smallest details to the grandest moments, she truly knows how to tell a story through her lens.
But what truly sets Kristin apart is her level of engagement and dedication. She wasn’t just our photographer—she became a guiding force throughout our wedding journey. She took the time to help us curate the perfect aesthetic, offering her input on outfits, color palette, and table setting details, really binging our vision to life. Her input was invaluable when it came to planning, ensuring every detail of our wedding photography aligned beautifully with the overall feel of our big day.
During one of our sessions in Antibes, we braved the cold and wind, but she never once let the conditions impact her energy or enthusiasm. She was patient, full of life, and made us feel completely at ease, turning what could have been a challenging shoot into an unforgettable experience.
She was also incredibly flexible when it came to scheduling, always making sure we had the time and space we needed to capture everything perfectly. From our engagement session to pre-wedding and wedding day shoots, she handled everything with professionalism, warmth, and genuine excitement for our journey.
We cannot recommend Kristin enough! If you want a photographer who will go above and beyond to not only capture your special moments but also help you shape the entire aesthetic of your wedding, she is the one!
I am so happy that I hired Kristin for my wedding photography, would highly recommend her, and would love to shoot with her again! Kristin's relaxed and calm approach to the day p...
ut me at ease while knowing that she would get all the shots we needed. Kristin shot our photos so beautifully, artistically, and unique to her own vision. We got photos that were documentary style, in-the-moment photos, beautiful detail and landscape photos, the classic wedding shots, and more. I'm so happy that I went with Kristin and now have such unique, beautiful, and well-done wedding photos that I will have for the rest of my life. Go with Kristin for your photography needs and you will be very happy!!
We would recommend Kirstin 10 out of 10 times. She did an amazing job as the photographer for our wedding as has since turned into a friend! She made everyone feel comfortable and ...
at ease while capturing pictures that are to dream of. Her presence was calming on such a chaotic, emotion filled day which helped beyond her job as the photographer. We can only provide positive feedback here and would recommend Kristin to anyone reading this!
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Kristen as our wedding photographer at Chateau Martinay in Provence. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit to capture...
our day. From our first call, Kristen has a unique ability to create an inviting space which carried through to our wedding weekend. Her care and professionalism allowed us to be fully ourselves while she organically captured every photo.
Her approach and style goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined - she truly has a gift for understanding and honouring each couple’s love. She exudes warmth and an effortless understanding of our vision, which allowed her to craft images that are timeless. Every moment she captured was a reflection of the deep connection we share, each photo holding a love that we’ll remember forever.
Kristen’s expertise and passion for her craft are unparalleled. She took the time to foster genuine conversations with us, making us feel completely at ease, and in doing so, she was able to tell our story in the most authentic and beautiful way. We couldn't have imagined anyone else creating these lasting memories of our day. Thank you, Kristen, for preserving our memories so beautifully and authentically
Kristin - I actually don’t know where to start. Not only is she extremely talented, she is the kindest soul and her energy throughout our wedding is one we’ll remember forever. Not...
only did she make us feel so comfortable throughout the process, we felt like we were really just able to be ourselves authentically. After your wedding, the only thing you’ll have as a keepsake are your photos, so it pays to invest them. We will remember our photos for the rest of our lives - because of Kristin. Truly the best of the best.
When we began searching for a wedding photographer, we knew we wanted someone who could do more than just capture the events of the day. We wanted someone who could understand our ...
vision, make us feel comfortable, and create something truly unique. From our very first meeting with Kristin in Florence, it was clear we had found exactly that.
Kristin took the time to get to know us before the wedding—understanding our personalities, our venue, and our overall vision while providing her own creative input. This made all the difference. She wasn’t just documenting a wedding; she was capturing our story. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease, as if we had known her for years. This connection came through in every photo she took.
Kristin attended both our welcome party and our wedding. At the welcome party, a boat day along the Amalfi Coast, Kristin absolutely amazed us. She fit in seamlessly with our guests, making everyone feel comfortable around her. It felt like she was part of our wedding party rather than just our photographer. This sense of ease translated beautifully into the photos—candid, joyful moments that truly captured the spirit of our celebration.
Our wedding took place in beautiful Ravello on a cliffside—a dream location that came with its own set of challenges that Kristin made look easy. Kristin transformed that breathtaking setting into an artistic masterpiece in her photos. She took full advantage of the scenery, turning every shot into something extraordinary. The way she framed each moment was beyond anything we could have imagined. She has an incredible eye for detail and captured every aspect of our day, from the grand vistas to the intimate, candid moments.
On our wedding day, Kristin went above and beyond. She wasn’t just there to take photos; she felt like a second wedding planner. She helped make subtle changes to our timeline and stage activities in ways that made our photos even more special. Her creative direction, guidance on positioning, and unique ideas made us feel comfortable and allowed her to capture us at our best.
After the wedding, Kristin continued to impress us. She provided us with sneak peeks that were beyond stunning, and when we received the full album, it exceeded our highest expectations. She delivered the photos faster than we could have hoped, and every single one was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Kristin has an incredible ability to capture the right shot in the perfect setting, and she brought our vision to life in a way that we will cherish forever.
Kristin is not just a photographer; she is an artist, a storyteller, a true professional, and a good friend. Her passion for her craft shines through in every photo. She made us feel comfortable, confident, and truly special throughout the entire process. We feel so lucky to have had her be a part of our day, and we are thrilled with the incredible images that she delivered.
We wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Her talent, dedication, and warm personality made our wedding day perfect, and we look forward to following her career as she continues to create amazing art. 10/10 would recommend—Kristin is simply the best!!!
Our 5-year vow renewal was a very special moment for us, and Kristin made it truly unforgettable. From the moment we first spoke, it was clear that her passion for photography and ...
attention to detail were top of the line.
On the day of our renewal, Kristin was professional, yet so warm and personable. She had a remarkable ability to capture candid and authentic moments that perfectly reflected the love and joy we share. Her creative vision and skillful eye ensured that every precious moment was preserved in stunning detail.
The photos are absolutely breathtaking and we have received countless compliments from family and friends on how beautiful the photos are.
We are so grateful to have found Kristin and we highly recommend her to capture your special day. At the end of it all, what is left are memories and photographs.
It was an absolute dream to have Kristin capture our wedding in Tuscany. From the get-go, her incredible eye for detail and knack for spotting perfect photo ops everywhere set her ...
apart. She worked seamlessly with her solid team and kept things professional while also being super approachable.
What we loved was how Kristin managed to capture every special moment without ever being intrusive. Her style made us feel at ease, which really shows in the natural, genuine photos she took.
It was great knowing that her personal and professional outlooks/aesthetic aligned so closely with ours. Her editing style is also so unique — she tailored the colours to match the mood and scenery of the venue + day, making every photo feel like a chapter in our wedding story. Looking at them brings us right back to those moments.
What really made all the difference though was how she stepped in to keep the day running on time. That wasn't even part of her job, but she took charge and made sure everything flowed perfectly. Her initiative and support made a huge difference for our enjoyment of the day.
From start to finish, Kristin made sure everyone in the family felt involved and cherished in the memories she captured. We’re so grateful for her dedication and talent, which gave us stunning memories of our big day.
We can’t thank and recommend Kristin enough! To anyone looking for a photographer who not only delivers amazing & timeless photos but also adds so much to the joy of the occasion, look no further!
From the moment we met Kristin as our neighbor, we knew there was something special about her. We instantly developed a soul connection that only deepened over the years. As we got...
to know her, we discovered not only an incredibly talented photographer but also an amazing person whose warmth and kindness shine through everything she does.
Kristin captured our engagement photos beautifully, and when it came to our wedding, we couldn't have imagined anyone else behind the camera. Viewing our wedding photos for the first time was an indescribable experience. Will and I sat in silence, completely overwhelmed and unable to find the words to express how we felt. Kristin’s photography magically captured the essence of our entire day, freezing every single moment in time—moments that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
I have never met someone with such a unique and talented eye as Kristin. Her ability to see and capture the beauty in every detail in an authentic way is unparalleled. She made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day, and her calming presence made all my nerves disappear. She was a complete dream to work with, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
Not only does she go above and beyond as a photographer, but she is also the best friend that every girl needs at her side at their wedding. Whether you have known her for 10 years or just a few hours, she will be your ultimate girls girl and there is truly nothing more special than her presence. From helping answer questions throughout the wedding planning process, to giving styling advice, to then being my ultimate hype woman, I cannot say thank you enough.
Kristin, thank you for giving us the gift of reliving our special day through your lens. Your work is nothing short of extraordinary, and we are forever grateful. If I could give anyone a piece of advice for their wedding day, it would be to work with Kristin.
Kristin will forever and always be our dream photographer!!!!
Nicole & William
We already knew working with Kristin was going to be great and the photos were going to look stunning, just based on her previous work and reviews, but what we didn't expect was to...
connect with her the way we did. She truly is a special person. So down to earth and kind, and her ability to diffuse the natural awkwardness of wedding photos and disarm the couples and families she's working with is really something special. The way she is as a person combined with her natural talent really makes for a remarkable experience. Our photos of course turned out amazing and I catch myself looking through them more than once a day. Highly highly recommend working with her.
There are truly no words for the pure magic that is Kristin. She is such a pleasure to work with as a professional and as a person. Her easy going personality makes you feel relaxe...
d throughout your journey with her.
She is a true artist when it comes to photography. In my opinion there is no one better. When it came to my wedding she was the first vendor I booked and was a priority as her images are Vogue worthy. She captures moments that tell a story and her compositions will leave you speechless. Kristin is a master at her craft and her artistry is unmatched.
I knew when I booked Kristin I would have nothing to worry about when it came to capturing our day. I knew I would have a gallery that would leave me speechless and tell our wedding story in a way no one else could. Thank you for giving me the most beautiful images that I will cherish for a lifetime. I would trust no one else with the most important moments of my life, our wedding day.
You will not regret one moment while working with Kristin. She is a dream. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want the gallery of your dreams, she is your girl! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kristin.
I came across Kristin on instagram and I remember seeing her page and thinking, holy crap, I need her to capture my wedding. I submitted an enquiry and within a couple of days we h...
ad our first call. It was the most easy going and simple conversation I had throughout the wedding planning process - I think it wasn't even 10 minutes but I instantly knew she would be perfect.
Over the next year and a half, Kristin was not only my photographer but she became my go to. From picking cutlery and florals for the reception to even picking furniture for my new house. Kristin has become a friend.
When I finally got to meet Kristin in Bali, it was like we had known each other for years. She was kind, calm, attentive, would check up on me throughout the weekend and had the best energy. My husband and I had the utmost faith in her capabilities and she absolutely delivered. The photos captured raw emotion, love and happiness and allowed me to relive the weekend all over again when going through them. So many of our friends said the photos were like a scene out of a movie and that they were some of the best wedding photos they had ever seen.
Would highly highly recommend Kristin to capture your wedding, elopement, whatever!
When my husband and I decided to have an intimate elopement in Paris, we knew that finding an amazing photographer was the single most important decision we had to make. I remember...
randomly stumbling across Kristin’s instagram in April 2023 and rushing to submit a contact form because I knew we absolutely needed her!!! Her pictures were stunning and I loved the way she captured her couples, it was exactly the vibe I was going for. During our first phone call, Kristin was so easy-going and personable that we connected right away. That first phone call solidified my decision even further and we planned our elopement date to coincide with her availability in May 2024 (perks of an elopement!). Over that next year Kristin was always responsive with my numerous questions and even went above and beyond when she helped me secure the most beautiful vintage Porsche to take photos with. My husband and I were pretty nervous before our elopement because we’ve never had professional photos taken and honestly thought taking photos for four hours would feel a bit awkward or forced. Thankfully, that was the complete opposite of what actually happened. We both met Kristin for the first time at our sunrise elopement and it honestly felt like we were long lost friends. I knew we had clicked during our phone call, but I didn’t expect to feel so comfortable with her within the first 5 minutes of meeting! She had such a calm energy that definitely contributed to helping us ease our nerves. During our shoot, we were able to loosen up and act like our true authentic selves. Nothing felt forced and Kristin was always there when we needed creative direction. My husband and I had the best time and Kristin was there to capture our most special moments. It was exactly how we envisioned our elopement to be and I can’t think of a single thing I would’ve asked her to do differently. She was able to capture everything so perfectly and the photos she delivered exceeded all of my expectations, my literal dream! If you are looking for someone that takes breathtaking and timeless photos while also being the most kind and genuine soul, you MUST reach out to Kristin. I am so lucky that I met Kristin as she has become one of my dearest friends <3 Thank you so much Kristin, we absolutely adore you

ur wedding in Lisbon. Her work and the her vision is in a class of its own. She made it so easy for us and our pictures are absolutely stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer on our special day.
We just received our photos from Kristin from our wedding in Lisbon, Portugal and have just been looking at them in awe!!! We are completely blown away by how beautiful they turned...
out. It has also been so much fun reliving the day! Kristin was a dream to work with. She was so helpful in guiding us while taking the pictures, which was needed since I was basically just in shock all day. Even leading up to the wedding, I was able to reach out to her to get her opinions when I was making some wedding decisions and wondering what would photograph and look best. She was able to get all the amazing shots that she does best, while also making sure she got all the family shots and reception moments as well. We are soo thankful to Kristin and I can confidently say that booking her will be the best decision you could make for your wedding day!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Kristin for our engagement shoot in NYC, and we could not be happier with our experience! From the very start, Kristin was super friend...
ly and responsive- when we finally met it was like meeting an old friend. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease, even though we did our shoot in the middle of Soho on a Friday afternoon, surrounded by people. Her direction and artistic eye is second to none! After the shoot, I asked Kristin if we could get a few photos back as I was in the process of creating our wedding website, and even though she was travelling (over her birthday, I might add) we got our full gallery back so much sooner than expected. Each photo is so so beautiful, and I have been looking at them non-stop. Kristin is pure MAGIC, and I so look forward to working with her in the future.
Kristin is an amazing photographer! She effortlessly and artfully captured our wedding day. The photos are timeless and are something we will proud of in this lifetime and beyond ❣...
️
I believe meeting and booking Kristin was divine meeting. As someone who prioritizes photos, I knew this decision of choosing one person to capture our best day would not be easy. ...
I am so glad I was wrong. From our first call I knew she was the one. Not only was her work breathtaking, her soul was as well. She's not your average girl, or average wedding photographer. It is evident that she pours so much of herself into her work and her clients. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond for your, Kristin is your photographer. I cannot express how grateful I am that our paths have crossed. Truly the most romantic photos from the most beautiful soul.
I’m not usually one for a lack of words, but all I can say is wow. I am in complete amazement of Kristin and her work. She went above and beyond to make my husband and I truly feel...
comfortable while enjoying one of the best days of our lives. She captured moments that bring tears to my eyes and encapsulated our love for each other. Her artful eye and attention to detail is really one of a kind and she is by far, the best investment we made for our wedding day. She brings such a positive energy to your day especially when you are a little camera shy and already anxious! I’m so lucky to have had her as our photographer but now as a future friend!! Don’t look elsewhere for your photographer, because the greatest one is right here!
I can not explain how incredible it was working with Kristin! When I first spoke with her I told her I didn’t want to have any stress on my wedding day I just wanted to be present ...
in the moment. She promised she’d capture the essence of day and she did more than that. I’ve never felt more beautiful after seeing the pictures she captured and I could FEEL the love that she captured for us. Choosing a wedding photographer is in my opinion the most important part of the wedding planning because all you have left after the day is over is the pictures. Every little special detail and moment was captured effortlessly by her. I’m actually in tears as I write this because when I look at my wedding photos I cry because they take me right back to that day. I’m infinitely grateful for her and HIGHLY recommend her.
Every time I look back to my wedding photos, every single moment comes to life. I am reminded of all the joy and love surrounding our day between myself and my husband as well as o...
ur closest families and friends. Kristin never ceases to amaze me by the way she effortlessly flows through her process. The attention to detail, her kind demeanor, the way she connected with us and our guests, and ultimately the imagery that resembles art. We are so beyond thrilled by the entire production of her business and work ethic. She is such a sweet soul that exudes life and love. We are so happy we found Kristin and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a down to earth, professional, artistic, outstanding photographer. Since our wedding it has been such a pleasure to stay in touch with Kristin and relive our special day, time and time again through our photos and memories that were documenting for a lifetime. You're the best Kristin!
For all of the reasons you could ever imagine, Kristin exceeded our expectations in every way. Her cool, calm and vibrant personality allowed us to fully be present during our wedd...
ing day. We trusted Kristin to capture all of the moments without any hesitation that anything would be missed or rushed. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed with the little moments that hold so much meaning like interactions with my grandmother, in between gestures with my husband all while beautifully capturing the complete essence of the day. We had our wedding photos back within 2 months and I haven’t stopped looked at them since.
Kristin felt like a long time friend and someone who resonated not only so well with us but also my friends and family. She is such a kind soul and created absolute art. We are so grateful for all the images for our day and truly wish we could do it all again. Thank you Kristin for being part of such an important part of our day. We love you!!
In wedding planning, meticulous attention is crucial, especially in choosing a photographer. After interviewing various photographers to ensure a seamless working relationship and ...
comfort in front of the camera, I discovered Kristin's remarkable portfolio on Instagram.
Her unique, moody yet natural captures perfectly reflected the luxurious and modern ambiance I envisioned for my wedding. After a few direct messages, the decision to choose her as our wedding photographer was made. As the wedding weekend approached, fate intervened, and we unexpectedly crossed paths at our hotel pool in Cabo a few days before my wedding, adding a special touch to our experience and creating an immediate and genuine connection. Kristin's laid-back yet confident personality put me at ease, solidifying my confidence in her as the perfect fit to capture the essence of my special day.
Kristin's expertise shone on the wedding day. Navigating events with remarkable speed and precision, she effortlessly found the perfect angles and lighting. Unlike previous experiences with other photographers, Kristin's ability to seize genuine moments without staging anything felt refreshing and authentic, allowing my spouse and me to fully immerse ourselves in joyous moments without interruptions.
Receiving the complete gallery, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Each photo encapsulated the myriad feelings experienced on my wedding day, evoking a nostalgic wave of happiness. Kristin's talent not only captured images but also preserved memories, making the entire experience even more memorable.
Choosing Kristin for our wedding was more than a decision; it was an unexpected and delightful connection in Cabo that heightened the essence of our special day. Her expertise, genuine personality, and talent in creating lasting memories through her lens exceeded all expectations. I recommend her to anyone.
I cannot express how incredibly fortunate my husband and I feel to have had Kristin as our wedding photographer. From my very first phone call with her, she exuded warmth and genui...
ne enthusiasm for capturing our day. Her passion for her craft was evident, and that excitement only grew as we progressed through our engagement shoot and the entire wedding day.
What sets Kristin apart is not just her exceptional talent behind the lens, but her unwavering commitment to truly connecting with her clients. She took the time to understand us as a couple and as individuals, making us feel comfortable and valued. Her emphasis on listening to our vision and needs went beyond just words – it was the foundation for the breathtaking moments she captured.
On our wedding day, Kristin proved to be more than just a photographer; she was a true partner in every sense.
Her extensive knowledge of the wedding industry became invaluable when unexpected challenges occurred. There were moments when things didn't go as planned, but Kristin was there, not only to capture the magic but also to help fix and mitigate any issues that came our way. Her calming presence and quick thinking allowed me to stay focused on the joy of the day.
Kristin's heart of gold shines through in everything she does. Her genuine care for her clients goes beyond her call of duty, and I can't express enough gratitude for the peace of mind she brought to our wedding experience.
In Kristin, we found not just a photographer, but a friend, a supporter, and a true gem in the wedding industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures beautiful moments but also adds an extra layer of magic and support to your special day. Thank you, Kristin, for being the incredible person, friend, and professional that you are!

g friend and there is absolutely zero pressure on photos. And the best part about that is that she nails the photos EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I truly don’t know how she does it but I’m so grateful for her art, her expertise, her grounding personality, and her talent to capture these moments turned memories. Kristins ability to capture the true essence of love and emotion is out of this world. 10/10 would recommend!

n, she was absolutely lovely! Everything you could ever want from a photographer: kind, patient, efficient, artistic, etc.
We are so thrilled to have chosen Kristin for our special day.
From the beginning, Kristin was a dream to work with. Every detail about our day was captured so perfectly. We had our wedding in NYC with our closest friends and family and every ...
single one of them raved about how intentional Kristin's approach is before, during and after the wedding day. We are blown away by all of the images in the gallery and how she truly captures the essence of myself, husband and the love we share. I have nothing but amazing words to share about her process, working with her and the person she truly is. The best part about connecting with Kristin is feeling at ease through the whole process, feeling like we have known each other for decades and the space she creates that allowed us to feel ourselves and let our personalities shine. We have so many cherished memories and we can't recommend her enough!!! We love you!!
We had Kristin as our photographer for our October wedding. I will start by saying if you aren’t having a wedding overseas in Italy or Europe I would not recommend her as your phot...
ographer. She’s a very nice, but her jet lag and exhaustion from her flight she took early that morning really showed to me and my guests. Multiple guests told me how she was yawning and saying how tired she was. I also realized it myself when we were taking family photos, she did not help my family get in position or pictures especially older members who had no idea where to stand. She stood there blankly at me and my husband expecting us to tell them where to go. I had given her a photograph list sheet that said all the photos we wanted to get captured and not half of those were done. She mentioned she looks closely at each photo when editing which is not the case when multiple family members had their eyes closed. I also had photos printed out and from her editing they were blue toned and unable to be used or framed. We have a toddler son and there wasn’t one photo of all of us smiling together at the camera in a portrait shot. Pretty heart breaking! There weren’t photos of the groom and his mother or dad putting on his boutonniere, there was only one blurry photo of my son walking down the aisle as the ring barrier, which makes no sense to me with how fast you can shoot multiple photos. When asked to take out graffiti of gang symbols from some of the pictures since we were getting married in downtown Chicago she told us she doesn’t do that. We also paid for 4 rolls of film which came to a surprise to her after the fact and were told that one of the rolls were “compromised” little hard to believe when she didn’t know we had 4 rolls we paid for.. our photos of film that we were given are pretty brutal to look at and nothing like her normal film work. Shots I requested on the spot were given no more than a few seconds and I wasn’t asked to move a certain way for the shot to be better making them turn out horribly. It’s quite annoying when you are asking for a specific shot you expect your photographer to direct but yet again no direction. I also requested shots and portraits in our wedding ceremony balcony. She snapped a few shots without placing us or moving anything, so the wedding videography crews stuff was in the picture and wasn’t even edited out in the final photos. It was a joke. I also had given her our wedding rings and my engagement rings, she did not take a photo of my engagement ring, which makes no sense not to capture my engagement ring with my husbands wedding band?! Also I specifically asked for shots of our matching wedding bands and the inside of them that were engraved & had our birthstones that were handed down to us by my husbands grandmother. There was nothing, not a single beautiful photo to show her. You could easily tell that she was not connected to our wedding what so ever. It’s truly heart breaking when you spend so much time planning everything on your wedding. There is more I could say, but thinking about it just makes me depressed and if this doesn’t convince you then good luck having her as your photographer. Grateful we had gotten videography two days before the wedding on a whim because that turned out perfectly and they gave us every shot we asked for.
Kristin was, from start to finish, our dream photographer.
Every conversation with her was professional, fun, and upheld complete transparency (which, as any couple will discover...
during the planning process, isn't always easy to come by!). We knew exactly what we were getting, how she works, and how much we were going to spend.
On the day of the event she and her assistants were punctual, engaged, and above all, a joy to have in our company! Not to mention a key piece in coordinating the day.
During our shoot prior to the ceremony, my husband and I felt at ease with Kristin, and her experience shined through as she helped us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was present for every important moment during the evening and we feel as though we're living through the excitement and love over and over again as we go through the photos.
When it comes to artistic talent and photography- Kristin IS IT. Her impeccable taste shines in every aspect of her life, from her personal style, social media, inspiration, choices she makes when traveling, and of course, her photography. It's clear that she has taken the time to finesse her aesthetic to procure those perfect moments with grace and intelligence. The images she created on our wedding day are absolutely breathtaking and something my husband and I will cherish forever. They are devastatingly romantic - you can feel the surreal beauty of the moments in each shot and they speak to the soul of the event. Kristin is the whole creative package.
The day flashes by achingly fast so having these gorgeous photos of my husband and I, our loved ones, and the event we spent months planning and designing will forever be cherished and shown off throughout our home. Kristin is more than a photographer... she turns your day, love, and event into a piece of art. HIRE KRISTIN! You won't regret it!
Kristin truly captured the heart of our special day with her timeless and artful photography. From the moment we met, there was an instant connection, making the entire experience ...
comfortable and enjoyable. She was punctual, professional, and her editorial style beautifully depicted the romance of our elopement. What stood out was her flexibility; she willingly returned later for our wedding dinner, showcasing a commitment that went beyond expectations. We are so grateful to have had such a talented and accommodating photographer to effortlessly capture our celebration. Highly recommend her for an exceptional experience!!
It’s hard to overstate what an incredible wedding photographer Kristin is. No matter what other madness the wedding planning process threw at us, my husband and I always knew that ...
at least when it came to photos, we never had to worry!
Kristin’s style, artistry and technical expertise are clear the minute you see her portfolio. Her photos are editorial, authentic, and capture the most beautiful moments, big and small. There’s something so moving about the way that she’s able to capture couples and the details of their special day, leaving you feeling like you’ve just gotten to see an intimate glimpse of each couple’s unique relationship and joy. And *that* is where Kristin’s superpower comes into play — her ability to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Like many couples, my husband and I are not the most comfortable being photographed. We also didn’t want our wedding to feel like a photoshoot — we wanted to focus on actually experiencing and being present for this special day. Kristin made us feel comfortable from the moment we booked with her, readily texting about wedding dresses and shoe options, and spending the first half hour of our engagement shoot just getting to know us over a cup of tea. When she showed up on the wedding day, it felt like a friend joining the party, not paparazzi showing up. Her down to earth nature and sense of humor made not just us but our family and friends feel at ease, and she was very thoughtful when dealing with a family member with special needs (which was so appreciated). She prioritized getting the shots we cared about, but never at the cost of us having to miss an important moment with each other or our guests. The photos we’ve gotten back from her so far have been nothing short of stunning — my husband’s first words when we got our sneak peek album were “Wow, she knocked it out of the park.” And most importantly, they feel so genuinely and beautifully *us*.
Every second of your wedding is precious, and will fly by. Having a photographer that is mindful of your time and experience as a couple is so important — and we are so grateful that Kristin didn't just capture the most beautiful day of our lives, but let us be so present for it.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for intimate, authentic, modern but timeless wedding photos, great communication, and someone who will both capture your special day beautifully AND let you actually enjoy it — she’s your girl.
If you’re currently exploring wedding photographers, congratulations, you’ve stumbled upon Kristin Piteo…
There are so many good things I could say about Kristin. (Crying already...
) She truly was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding, if not the best. Finding a great photographer was a priority and Kristin absolutely exceeded our expectations. We formed a genuine connection and friendship shortly after our first call. There were so many times I reached out (possibly too many) with non-photography questions and each time she gave the best advice. We would even just text randomly maybe a little tipsy off wine just chit chatting about our day or what’s going on in our lives outside of shoots and wedding planning. I loved it. The first time we met in person was the day of our welcome party and it felt like we were back together with a lifelong friend so that right there set the tone for the weekend. We had so much fun together and it felt so natural. She captured real time, raw moments. She gave us creative direction/advice when we needed it but most of the time it felt like we were just being us and prioritizing living in the moment. She allowed us to feel as comfortable as possible, be ourselves and never pushed posing/forced photos. Sometimes we forgot she was there!
When I was getting ready I didn’t want my mom or any of my bridesmaids/MOH to see me in my dress yet so Kristin was like my person in those moments. We laughed so hard, and I felt comfortable enough to run around naked finding this and that and just being myself and it just felt like I was getting ready with one of my best friends. I never felt rushed or pressure from her but when it came to keeping everyone else on track, she got it done.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, someone more than just your wedding photographer, someone who is genuine, caring, authentic, responsive, chill but passionate, she’s your girl. She has the best creative eye, you can see that in any and all of her shoots. Her editorial style is unmatched, her IG is any girls dream Pinterest board. I still remember the day I came across her Instagram and gasped. I knew I had to have her!
We’ve looked at our wedding photos nearly every day, with tears in our eyes, we and many others, can’t believe how perfectly she captured so many beautiful moments; big moments, small moments and the moments in between. She captured our love and personalities perfectly. She’s a visionary. We’d hire her over and over again. Truly a dream photographer.
Wow. I wish I could give more than 5 stars and this is why.. When I started to plan my wedding about 2 years ago I immediately went to IG, TikTok, Pinterest for inspo. Truthfully, ...
I was discouraged because I kept seeing the same cheesy/staged type of wedding content. I knew right away that my now husband and I had to find & invest in a photographer that would not force us to take uncomfortable, inauthentic pictures that aren’t reflective of our relationship. I remember the exact night I came across Kristin’s work on IG. I saw literally just 1 picture of a wedding that she shot in Italy and within seconds sent her an email hoping, praying(!!!) that she was available for our wedding. Thank God the universe worked in our favor and we were able to book Kristin. Wedding planning at times can be very stressful, but working with Kristin was the easiest part of the process. Planning with her was so seamless. She got my vibe and aesthetic of how I wanted our day captured immediately. Most wedding photographers request so much from the couple leading up to the wedding day which just adds another layer of stress. Working with Kristin it was the complete opposite. Her work speaks for itself. Just look at her IG page!! Our wedding day was a dream, and the morning after I woke up to sneak peeks of the content Kristin captured & could not share fast enough to IG. I was immediately inundated with messages from my family and friends. First, we were all in awe on the turnaround time since Kristin was literally with us working all day/night & she is just a team of 1! Secondly, the photos that she captured and edited EXCEEDED expectations of what I envisioned our wedding photos would look like. I would be lying if I said I didn’t look at them at least 5 times a day. I seriously can’t get over how she effortlessly captured our love. ANNNND the quality is EDITORIAL. If you want your photos to be Vogue level, you NEED to work with her. & not only did she provide unbelievable content, but on the day of our wedding she gave creative direction & ensured we got all the shots she knew I wanted, she significantly eased my husband’s nerves (he is definitely more shy in front of the camera), & she was with me 24/7 to help with whatever I needed like fixing my veil for me one million times!! She made taking wedding pictures fun and special for me and my husband, it was honestly one of the best parts of the day. Truthfully words cannot express how blessed we are to have been able to work with Kristin. I am actually so sad that it’s over! The best decision when planning our wedding was hiring Kristin. So attention all future brides, your wedding day goes by so fast, invest in someone who will make sure that every memory is captured so aesthetically, professionally & perfectly! You will not regret hiring and working with Kristin. & I’ll be sitting here jealous of all the future brides that are lucky enough to get to work with her!!! My husband and I already agreed that for all future big life moments that we want captured, we will be working with Kristin!! Forever grateful -Gina, Scott & Auggie🐶💘🫶🏼💕!!!!
BOOK KRISTIN NOW! You will be sooo so happy you did, I promise you.
I finally looked through all the black and white photos this week (been focused on all the color ones the last ...
month and a half and literally have looked at them over 20 times lol and no joke cry every time I look at them) and I can’t tell you how much I cried looking at them all again. The black and white ones of Kevin’s smile on the dance floor literally made me sob. Reliving our wedding day though your eyes and lens has been truly magical. Kristin, you captured our love, our goofiness, our smiles, our laughs, our tears, our family and friends so beautifully. You can feel the love and emotion that we felt the entire day in all the photos. You captured every essence of our wedding day and I couldn’t be more grateful that we’ll forever have these photos to look back on and reminisce the best day of our entire lives.
I am so blessed to have found you and that we got to share such a special day with you. I feel like I not only found the absolute best photographer in the world for us, but also found a dear friend. From the first moment we spoke on the phone I felt like we were instant friends and as if I was just talking to a girlfriend I’ve had for years. From our engagement photos in France to our wedding day in Napa, every time we were together you made us feel so comfortable and like we were just hanging with a friend. You have a perfect balance of professionalism, fun and authenticity which helped make the day feel so easy and seamless. I fully trusted you and your vision and your work was beautiful and pure magic. Your eye is insane and the work truly speaks for itself.
Thank you x10000 for capturing the most pure memories for us. We love you and can’t wait to meet up someone in the world one day hopefully soon! Going to go look at all the photos and cry again 🥲🥹🤍
Kristin is simply outstanding. Our wedding photos are everything we could’ve dreamed of and more! Kristin was able to capture all of the little and big moments from our day and we ...
will truly cherish having these photos for the rest of our lives. Her photography skills leave you with absolutely stunning shots and authentic moments that make reliving the day through them feel like a dream. Thank you Kristin!
Choosing Kristin as our Wedding Photographer was one of the most confident wedding planning decisions we made. The moment I saw her work, I was sold. She just also happens to have ...
the best personality, and is a true professional.
She is a storyteller through her artful expression and we knew she was the perfect person to capture our love story. Our photos are timeless yet modern, authentic and editorial, all in one. If you value photos that look like art and feel like you, Kristin is the photographer for you.
