Kristina and crew were amazing. Mark and Kristina were so great to have for our wedding and only working with one vendor for everything made us so much less stressed. Kristina gave us some beautiful sneak peaks just 2 days after the wedding tha...

Kristina and Mark were a blessing to have, it was like having another mom and dad help us plan our wedding (minus any extra drama)! We trusted them with the most important day and they undersold and over delivered. I HIGHLY recommend this great...

family/company. Here’s why… Mark is a big shot DJ, of course he was booked :-) but when we couldn’t find a DJ so late in the game, he reached out to everyone he knew and helped us find one. I was so concerned about a DJ setting the right tone and the timeline going as planned especially since we didn’t hire a planner. Mark is a busy guy, but he personally interviewed the other DJs with us to make sure they knew what they were doing and would work well with our photography team. He also made our timeline! What a rockstar. Nothing went wrong and everything was absolutely perfect, thanks to them. We REALLY lucked out when we got Kristina herself and Michael to be our photographers. I love how Kristina took charge with our family pictures (4 sets of moms/dads is no easy feat). Kristina is a magical unicorn photographer. My husband is not a fan of pictures but Micheal captured the best grooms pictures. They were all around fantastic to work with! They captured every staged shot that we asked for, every single magical moment and more. We just got our pictures, they are breathtaking memories that we will cherish forever. When Mark and Kristina tell you they will treat your wedding like it’s their own daughters or sons, they are not just blowing smoke or using a pitch. Our wedding went off without a hitch, all thanks to them! I’m so glad we invested in the Santangelos because these memories are priceless.

We just got married this past weekend and if we had to do it again, we would 100% use Kristina and Mark again. They handled photography (Kristina), DJ (Mark), and a photo booth (run by second photographer, Emily) for our wedding. They also have...

a videographer which we didn’t use, but I’m sure is amazing. The services were incredible. Weddings are definitely not cheap, but price wise it could not be beat. Kristina and Emily were with us for most of the day; there wasn’t a limit to how many hours they were there the whole day. The prep before the wedding was fantastic. Mark and Kristina spoke with us several times to make sure we had everything ready. Even when they were busy they always made time to help us. They both helped figure out the schedule for the day which was very helpful for someone with limited wedding experience. They were also able to add the photo booth on later in the planning and still were able to talk and make changes the week of! Mark made the reception the best party we’ve ever been too. The music was perfect; it was a mix of what we and our guests specifically wanted. He was the perfect choice for our DJ. Basically, if you haven’t found a photographer or DJ, consider Mark & Kristina. You will not be disappointed.

Kristina was amazing! Our wedding package included our engagement session, a virtual meeting to create a day of timeline, and then the entire wedding day (with no time limit). We had so much fun shooting our engagement session with Kristina at ...

two locations and those photos came out beautifully. Kristina was great at helping me come up with a day of timeline for photography that really helped with the flow of the entire day. Kristina and her second photographer were with us from the start of the morning through our bubble exit at the end of the night. I got all the posed pictures I could think of. Both Kristina and Michael were wonderful to work with. I really loved having two photographers, as there are so many different perspectives of our wedding day that were captured because of it. We could tell she worked really hard on editing all of our photos once we received them on a USB flash drive. She even sent a flash drive with our engagement photos! I highly recommend Kristina and her partners, as they are really great at what they do, and don't place time limits or rush the big day. I could not be more in love with my wedding photos!!

I am going to recommend Kristina to everyone who asks for recommendations for wedding photography. They were truly a dream come true, especially within the budget I had for the entire wedding. I honestly didn't think I would be able to get the ...

amount of time with 2 photographers, an engagement shoot, and from the first look until the grand exit with the videographer for our budget (whole wedding budget being $10K), but Kristina Santangelo Photography did it! They even put a clause in our contract that videography was optional until we made sure we had it the budget as did not have my dress yet and my husband (and Kristina and her husband) wanted me to love my dress first. Kristina and her husband Mark were our photographers and our videographer was Alonzo. They were so professional and seemed to truly have a passion for what they do. They got a lot of great candid shots that we have gotten back (our wedding was 12/11/2021 and they said in the contract that it would be 8-12 weeks before all of our pictures were back, so we are still well before that time) and even have some amazing staged ones (see the cover photo of the brides and her bridesmaids at the top of the page :)). Kristina were so sweet when I was terrified about the weather that week because my only plan was to be able to take pictures on the golf course, outside and I was terrified I didn't have a back up (and the forecast wasn't great for that day earlier that week). We have not gotten our pictures or video back yet but we cannot wait to see it all! Right after my husband and I had our first Zoom meeting with Kristina and Mark we decided they were going to be our photographers. They were the first ones we talked to and decided that we didn't need to speak to anyone else. I'm so glad we made that decision and I know they will make many couples dreams come true!
