Having Kristyn as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Kristyn photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding day and she was so so wonde...
rful! First and foremost, Kristyn was incredibly easy to work with. During the planning phase communication was clear and responsive. Day of, Kristyn was such a calming and uplifting presence, we felt relaxed and at ease the whole time and Kristyn's directions were clear and easy to follow! Additionally, Kristyn is incredibly organized and had a great plan and timeline for our wedding day, we were not rushed at all and we had lots of time to savor our special moments. Kristyn did such a good job capturing all the moments of our special day and we absolutely love how our photos turned out :)
Kristyn is absolutely WONDERFUL!! We were initially captured by Kristyn's editing style, but after the introductory phone call, we immediately knew that she would be the perfect ph...
otographer for our engagement and wedding photos. It is evident that her passion shines through her work. From the beginning, Kristyn was responsive, organized, and professional - she took the time to listen to our vision to make sure she captured everything we wanted. She expertly guided us through poses for the camera during our engagement shoot, and by the time our wedding rolled around, the posing felt so natural - we were posing with such confidence that we didn't know we had! Her friendly personality and calming presence dissolved any worries during our wedding day. Kristyn has captured the magic of our day perfectly - every time we look at our photos, it feels like we are transported back to our wedding day once more. We can't thank her enough! We are so thrilled with our photos and we highly recommend her as your photographer!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Kristyn take our engagement photos in Old Town Alexandria this past October, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results! ...
From start to finish, she made the entire process so much fun. Her warm personality and creative eye to capture candid moments is truly remarkable, and it shines through in every photo. The pictures captured not only the beautiful backdrop of Old Town but also the love and connection between us. She was so attentive to detail, making sure every shot was perfect, while still keeping the session lighthearted and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone who can make your photo session both memorable and stress-free, I can’t recommend her enough. She is truly talented and a joy to work with! Thank you, Kristyn, for giving us photos we will treasure forever.
Kristyn and Jason are simply the best. Their down to earth and flexible demeanor made my day so calm and enjoyable (despite it literally being 110° outside). Kristyn’s energy is un...
deniable and plays such a key role in her amazing photography skills. Kristyn was so amazing and stress free to work with, and her eye for a good photo shot is killer! Not only did we love her, but Jason was such an awesome second shooter and made my groom feel at ease during pictures. Jason also was the MVP for getting good child shots and lots of happy faces (yes, he may or may not have been making funny faces and jumping… that is true dedication). Not only did my husband and I love working with them, but all my guests RAVED about their professionalism and down-to-earth demeanor and approachability. I am honestly so sad that my time with Kristyn is coming to an end, but I can guarantee she has found a lifelong customer for all my upcoming life events! Thank you both endlessly!
Kristyn was delightful to work with. We had a wonderful engagement photoshoot at the cherry blossom and she made us feel very comfortable. She is easy to get along with and has a p...
ositive vibe which creates really good energy for the photoshoot experience. The day of the wedding, she was able to confidently and calmly direct the bride, bridesmaids, mothers, etc into position for photos. We got a lot of great photos in a short amount of time including at the hotel, outside the church, inside the church, etc. The groom enjoyed working with her husband Jason as the second shooter. Would highly recommend! She was open to learning about where the photographer can/cannot stand during an Orthodox Christian wedding ceremony and did a great job. She took the time to understand the important moments like the crowning, the dance of Isiah, etc which are unique features of the ceremony. She also made sure to ask about what special moments we wanted captured at the reception. A great photographer and a wonderful person to have around on your wedding day.
We were originally drawn to Kristyn by her editing style. However, after having our inquiry call, we immediately knew Kristyn was someone we would want to capture one of the most i...
mportant chapters of our lives!! We wanted people on our team that we felt as though we could be friends with since we would be spending so many hours with them on our wedding day. Kristyn is just, simply put, someone you can easily be friends with! She is kind, gracious, and professional. We ran into a hiccup in which it unexpectedly rained on the day of our engagement shoot. Kristyn profusely apologized and waited the rain out with us, giving us even more time than we were originally scheduled for. We were in simply in awe of our engagement photos, and were genuinely excited to work with Kristyn on our wedding day. When our wedding day came, Kristyn and her second shooter, Jason, were again awesome to work with. Overall, we were just amazed at how our sneak peaks came out for our 50/50 tease; and even more so when we got our final photos back. We would go back and use Kristyn over and over again and cannot recommend her any more highly or enough! :)
Kristyn, is wonderful to work with. Annemarie and cannot say enough about how Kristyn made the entire process unforgettable… from scheduling, to the wedding day, and then receivin...
g the beautiful photos she took. Kristyn knew the area we picked for our elopement well and had great suggestions of places nearby for more photo options. We would highly recommend Kristyn, and already have. You won’t be disappointed!
TLDR: We highly recommend Kristyn for her professionalism, compassion, and exceptional photography skills - you will not be disappointed!
Choosing Kristyn as our wedding photograp...
her was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. From the very beginning, Kristyn's organization and responsiveness put us at ease during the often stressful wedding planning process. She took the time to understand our vision and even asked for a list of specific shots we wanted, ensuring that every important moment was captured beautifully.
On the day of the wedding, Kristyn's professionalism and compassion truly shined. Arriving early, she seamlessly blended into the festivities while still managing to capture every precious moment. Her presence was calming, and she showed genuine care for us as the bride and groom, as well as for all of our guests.
When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away. Kristyn's talent and skill were evident in every shot, and she managed to capture the joy and love of our wedding day perfectly. Looking through the pictures, we were able to relive our happiest moments as a couple and as a family.
Words cannot express how grateful we are for Kristyn's exceptional work. She exceeded all of our expectations, and we will cherish these memories forever. Thank you, Kristyn, for your dedication, talent, and for being a part of our special day. We cannot recommend you highly enough!
There will never be adequate words to express my sincere love for Kristyn and Jason. From the jump, Kristyn was a great communicator and open to anything we envisioned. She allowed...
us to take engagement photos in a new place for her and made Paul and I feel so comfortable taking professional photos together for the first time, which was a scary thing! She was so helpful and came with great tips. Her package for engagement photos and wedding day with a second shooter was exactly what we were looking for! Her communication continued to be amazing throughout the year leading up to our wedding with a detailed questionnaire and a zoom call with our day of coordinator to make sure we were all on the same page, especially with timeline- this all put me at so much ease the day of! Back to Kristyn and Jason being so warm and comforting on our wedding day! They were high energy and on point with every photo section. We were able to complete all photos before our ceremony so that we could enjoy the rest of our day with our loved ones! Now onto after the wedding. The 50/50 tease was more than I even expected! 50 edited photos within 50 hours of the wedding?! Are you kidding? That’s unheard of!!! After seeing all the photos, Kristyn’s vision was so on point!!! The colors were incredible, the cues during photos were so helpful. Her and Jason captured every single aspect of the day perfectly. I have NO NOTES. Photos will last forever and I am so grateful Kristyn came across my desk during wedding searching because she exceeded anything I could’ve envisioned myself.
Kristyn's work is BEAUTIFUL!! If you want light and airy, she’s your person! So funny and friendly, she helped my husband and I feel so comfortable posing for pictures with helpful...
cues. Incredibly patient with all our questions, gave lots of great advice, and had us laughing often. Loved both our engagement session and our wedding day was perfect with Kristyn as one of our top fave vendors! 10/10 would recommend!
Working with Kristyn was a dream! She did such an amazing job with both our engagement session as well as our wedding day! She was very responsive and helped answer all of my quest...
ions throughout the whole wedding planning process. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and did such a great job at keeping us on schedule throughout the whole wedding day. Not mention she is so sweet and kind! Kristyn's husband, Jason, was also phenomenal! He was our second photographer on our wedding day and helped so much! My husband and the groomsmen really enjoyed having him there to capture them getting ready.
If you are looking for a photographer, please do yourself a favor and book Kristyn! I am so happy I found her and I cannot recommend her enough!
Working with Kristyn was amazing! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or just for a casual shoot. We found her through some friends who...
got engaged just before we did. She did both our engagement pictures, and our wedding day, and could not have been happier the results. Kristyn was professional, organized, and just a joy to work with at every step of the process. We'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
Kristyn did an amazing job on our engagement shoot and wedding day! She is such a calming, steady presence and was a wonderful addition to my big day. She was very prepared and had...
a detailed questionnaire to prep for family photos. I am obsessed with my wedding photos and I am so blessed that she captured the joy that we all felt. She is also priced very competitively and quick to respond to emails. Would absolutely recommend!
Kristyn was AMAZING!
My wife and I had Kristyn for our engagement photos in October 2021 and our wedding in September 2022 and she was great! The creativity and constant feedback...
throughout the day were just some of the reasons why we loved her; she always asked us if it was okay to try something different, welcomed suggestions that we had throughout the day, and made sure we were having fun and enjoying ourselves.
Working with Kristyn before the wedding was just as great! The level of detail she would go through to make sure she was able to capture everything that YOU want was a huge ease for us. Telling her exactly what we wanted and how she responded was second to none.
Highly recommend to everyone and we would have her again!
Kristyn did an amazing job on our engagement pictures! We had our pictures taken at the Tidal Basin in D.C. during cherry blossom season. Kristyn helped answer all our questions le...
ading up to our session and was super helpful in the planning process. She knew all the best spots for photos and helped position us to look natural and not too posed. Kristyn is so friendly and professional, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us a couple sneak peek photos right away and the rest of our photos did not take long. We are very happy with the outcome. I would recommend Kristyn to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer!
I came across Kristyn through a mutual friend and was blown away by the friend's engagement shoot, so my fiancé and I reached out to her to learn more. Kristyn's professional demea...
nor, sweet personality and thorough knowledge and skills impressed us tremendously, and we worked with her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day photos. What an AMAZING experience! We couldn't be more pleased and grateful for everything Kristyn did for us, and we had so much fun throughout the process. Kristyn, a million times thank you!
PS - To any engaged couples considering photography packages, we highly recommend getting the second shooter for the wedding day; it was worth every penny knowing every photogenic moment was caught!
Kristyn did our engagement shoot down here in Alexandria. Less than 24 hours later, and we have a sneak peek of our pictures. We can’t wait to see the rest! On top of her amazing p...
hotography skills, Kristyn is an absolute gem to work with. She knows the best areas in Alexandria and helped pose both of us. We’re thrilled with our sneak peeks. She knows the best spots in Alexandria for pictures, too! We absolutely recommend Kristyn.
We LOVED working with Kristyn! She photographed not only our engagement shoot, but our ceremony and celebration days (thanks covid). Honestly, Kristyn was such a pleasure to work w...
ith, she was professional, polite and very responsible with covid precautions. I loved every picture that we got from her. My husband used to be into photography so he had a couple of specific shots and detail concerns that Kristyn was able to get perfectly. I would definitely hire her again in a heartbeat.
Kristyn was awesome to work with! The photos she took for us were absolutely gorgeous. We had to wait a little to get them, but they were well worth the wait. Kristyn is such a kin...
d person and has such a positive attitude. From our first phone/video conversations with her to our wedding day, Kristyn has been a pleasure to work with. She was kind enough to offer help when she saw my sister, mom, and I scrambling to get out the door on time for the ceremony after she was done taking initial shots. That goes beyond what I would expect of my photographer and just goes to show what kind of person Kristyn is. She directs really well and made sure we stayed on schedule for all the shots we wanted. If we have an anniversary party or renewal in the future, I know who we'll be reaching out to for photography needs. Don't hesitate to book!
Kristyn was the BEST ever! My fiancé did a surprise proposal and had Kristyn capture it all. It was literally the cutest/best thing ever. Kristyn was completely hidden, very stealt...
h and I didn't even realize she was there until my fiancé said "Oh by the way Kristyn, our photographer, is here" and there she was, hanging out by some rose bushes capturing the moment for us. My fiancé proposed at Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, MD and Kristyn really captured the entire vibe/feel of the place. I am so incredibly happy with how the pictures turned out. She helped pose us for the classic engagement shots and made us feel at ease. We were a bit uncomfortable since we don't get photographed by a professional very often, but Kristyn made it so it felt like we were just being us. She would give us some directions and then shoot away. I was worried that the photos would feel a little too posed, because that has been my experience in the past. This was the perfect mix of posed and allowing my fiancé and I to be natural at the same time. She was very receptive to some ideas I had for some shots I had envisioned for myself. She was great, super friendly, very professional, and made us feel truly special on one of the most special days of our lives. If you want someone who is extremely down to earth, someone who knows how to pose you without making yourself feel posed, and someone who is extremely talented in photography, BOOK KRISTYN. It will be a decision you won't regret.
Kristyn photographed our 2020 elopement in Alexandria and did a phenomenal job! We made a last minute decision to scale back to an intimate ceremony and she was so flexible and ski...
lled capturing the elements of our “little” day so that we could share it with our loved ones. She was the perfect fit for us, so sweet, laid back and thoughtful with her work. Her husband was very sweet too to help film the ceremony and carry umbrellas and bags. We are so thankful that in all of the unexpected events of our 2020 wedding we found Kristyn to capture beautiful memories we will treasure. Highly recommend!
