About this vendor
I live for adventures in the great outdoors and capturing your love while embracing nature is my biggest passion. I strive to find locations that fit your personality and your story, and I'm not about stiff poses and forced smiles. I encourage you to embrace your relationship as it truly is and then I capture it, so that fifty years down the road you can truly remember what it felt like to be young and in love. I'm am very relaxed and I'm always going with the flow of things so that there can be no stress, and so that everything about getting your photos taken is easy (cause I know it's intimidating). I love hiking, kayaking, hammocking, icecream, The Office, naps, and dogs, so if you like those things too, I have a feeling we'll be the greatest of friends.

I fell in love with Kristine and her photos when she photographed my best friend’s wedding. A year later when I was getting married, I wanted no one but her to capture our day. Kristine is so easy to work with, makes every photo feel natural, and is so professional yet carefree and fun! She truly has her client’s best interest at heart and made our wedding day flow so smoothly. We loved that she spent time to get to know us first, so she could truly figure out what we wanted most out of our session! No matter what Mother Nature is doing, you will have flawless photos to look back on. We recommend Kristine to everyone, and cannot wait to use her again!
Kristine was incredible! She was very focused on understanding our vision and getting to know us. She set up many meetings to chat about our wedding and the vendors we would be working with. She helped us plan our wedding timeline and visited our wedding location beforehand to come up with ideas of where we could take pictures. She was also very quick to return photos to us and was in constant communication with us. She focused on making sure we loved our photos and captured many amazing moments from our day that we will cherish forever! Kristine made us feel like one of her friends, not just another client. We have highly recommend Kristine to many of are friends and would recommend her to anyone else that is looking for someone will capture your day in a way that makes you feel like you are reliving the day every time you look at your photos.
Kristine is so genuine, talented, and just overall an amazing human being. I would chose her over again a million times to take our wedding photos. Our elopement had a few set backs, but never once did she make me feel like it was something we could not handle. A blizzard a few days before our mountain top elopement? No problem, Kristine SNOW SHOED UP to see if we could get to the planned location. The original location for the wedding snowed in? No problem, Kristine found an equally amazing spot if not better than the original one. She even offered to drive to another location to take photos because our original one did not work out and she wanted us to be happy on our day. I do not think we could have someone more willing to go with the flow when mishaps occurred and somehow made every thing better than the initial plans. And in addition to all of this her photos are BREATHTAKING. I honestly could not be happier with them.
We can’t say enough good things about Kristine! She went above & beyond to capture GORGEOUS pictures of our wedding day. Our wedding day did not go as planned...just as we got situated for our first look, big rain drops began to fall, slowly at first then it started pouring. Kristine didn’t miss a beat. She whipped out an umbrella & took the sweetest photos, turning what could’ve been a sour moment into a precious memory. She was a trooper, continuing to stand out in the rain and hail for hours to make sure we got all the family, couple & bridal party photos we’d envisioned. Her cheerful attitude and reassurance helped give me strength as our outdoor wedding plans fell apart. She was so flexible as the weather and our plans kept changing. Finally we moved indoors and it turned out to be a beautiful day. But I was still a bit worried that the less-ideal indoor location would affect the photos. I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out!!! Kristine is a magician. My favorite part about our wedding photos is how she captured the STORY of the entire day so we can relive it over and over again. She captured so many precious details and facial expressions and moments.
She’s professional, fun, experienced, positive and self-directed. She took so much pressure off of me (the bride) and captured our story so beautifully! 11/10 recommend!!!

Kristine photographed our engagement photos as well as our wedding day, and boy oh boy, she did not disappoint. I am so happy I stumbled across her Instagram page. From the time I discovered her, until the time I got married I would browse through the galleries on her website with so much excitement. I could not wait for her to capture our big day. Her photos and soul are absolutely amazing. She is super talented, will make you laugh and will easily become your friend. PICK HER! You will not have an ounce of regret if you do.
Choosing Kristine to capture our day was the best decision we made! Her bubbly personality paired with her attention to detail made our experience so enjoyable and we LOVE her work. She was great about getting our pictures to us as soon as possible and we have loved reminiscing on our perfect day since. She was on time for both our engagement session and our wedding and provided us with a detailed list so we knew where to be and when. Kristine has become more than a photographer as we truly cherish her as a friend. She spent so much time with us planning before, celebrating during, and catching up after our wedding and we are so appreciative of her and the work she does!
Kristine has an amazing team of photographers! Mariah took our wedding pictures and also the bride and groom photo session the next day. She was so sweet and ready to help and take the most amazing photos! Kristine edition work was superb! We love our pictures!
Kristine Elisabeth is THE best!! She made our entire elopement experience that much more incredible! She stayed optimistic the entire time through all of the rain, snow and crazy amounts of wind!! She puts her heart + soul into her work and it definitely shows. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better photographer. I’m so thankful for her and the amount of joy she brought along on our special day.
Kristine is the absolute sweetest and so easy to work with! We would not have wanted anyone else to help capture our day. She does such a great job of capturing everything you want with helping you look your best, while still keeping the natural, loving, carefree feelings of the day! She worked great with our videographer, as well! How can you not love Kristine! Seriously use her for your photographer!
I don’t even know where to start - I found Kristine through Instagram and Instantly fell in love with her work. She’s crazy talented, and literally brought exactly what I wanted to life. Kristine took the time to get to know me and my husband before our session and made our time with her feel so vauluable. She made us feel like we weren’t just another client or session. I will forever remember our wedding day and the roll she played in making it so memorable. She has the sweetest and kindest soul there is, and I knew she had our best interest at heart. Her work tells a story, and I get to relive the one she created for us every time I look through our pictures.
Choosing Kristine as our photographer ranks as one of our best wedding decisions. Our photos are incredible and really capture our day, and beyond that Kristine is professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. 10/10 recommend.
Kristine is the most amazing, best ever!!! We could not have had a better photographer! She is super caring, kind, loving, and invests into her couples and weddings! She made our wedding day stress free and it felt more like she was a close friend attending the wedding and taking photos of us! She delivered the MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!! We highly recommend her!!
Kristine did an amazing job with our wedding photos - we couldn’t dream of better photos to perfectly capture our wedding day. She captured every perfect moment and detail from our day & turned them into the most beautiful memories we will forever cherish. On top of her pure talent, she is one of the sweetest souls we have ever met and is incredibly professional. Would recommend to anyone, any day!
Krisitine is authentic. She took our wedding photos in September and I truly wish there was more stars to give her. She is easy going and has a heart of gold. Her passion for photography really shines in her photos. She catches the small moments in time that are often missed within the busy and the rush. She reminded me to slow down and enjoy the day for everything it was. She will feel like a friend that you have known for years. I am able to look at her photos and instantly go back to that moment and how it made me feel, due to her genuine perspective. Not only did she take outstanding pictures but she has a caring heart and was so helpful with misc. I looked for months to find a perfect photographer, THIS IS HER- no need to look further. She is young and radiates nothing but positivity and talent. I will definitely use her for photography down the road (: Thank you Kristine!
She made my special day even more wonderful. She is so talented and a joy to have around! She creates such a positive and natural atmosphere for the photos and has a way of capturing every emotion in her photos. I cannot express enough positive things about her and her work. My wedding and engagement photos are something I’m going to cherish forever because of her gift of capturing feelings in still motion. I can PROMISE that you will not have a single regret with her as your photographer.
Kristine is a GREAT photographer! She did our wedding photos and made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves while taking pictures! This allowed her to really capture our personalities through our photos which we were so grateful for. We LOVE our wedding photos!
I love this girl. Kristine did our engagement and wedding photos last year and we just love them all so much. I’m actually kind of angry she made it so hard for us to decide on our favorites. ;) Kristine really captured who we are as a couple and we never felt like we had to pose or pretend, which made for beautiful and personalized photos. She also works efficiently and has a beautiful calming presence about her- super clutch for a bride on wedding day.
I seriously LOVE Kristine so much! She is not only one of the most amazing photographers, she has a heart of gold!! She makes engagement pictures so fun and she captured our wedding day so perfectly. She pays attention to detail and you can tell she absolutely adores what she does!!
Kristine is amazing! She is extremely talented, and creative. She makes the whole experience feel so fun and natural. You will start off as strangers and leave as friends. Her joy in her work is infectious and she genuinely cares about the people she works with! You will not regret booking her! She will make your day so special and capture your day perfectly!
Kristine is phenomenal. We were highly impressed by her professionalism, adaptability, and communication skills. She is truly top notch. Our images were incredible, and everyone that sees them absolutely gushes about how marvelous they look! Hands down - Kristine is the way to go if you are looking for an effortless experience with flawless results.
