Hiring Krystal was the best decision we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was nothing short of amazing.
On our wedding day, Krystal went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and that we were truly enjoying every moment. She had this incredible ability to capture the most beautiful, authentic moments without us even realizing she was doing it. Not the mention — the photos are absolutely breathtaking!!
Beyond her talent, Krystal made both my husband and I feel so comfortable, which was so important to me as I am not usually the most comfortable in front of a camera. Krystal was more than just a photographer — she enhanced the entire experience. She felt like a friend who was genuinely invested in making our day as perfect as possible and we could tell she cared about our experience just as much as we did.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, supportive, and fully dedicated to making your day special, look no further. Krystal is simply the best!
If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, you're officially done looking. HIRE KRYSTAL!
'Photographer' doesn't even feel like the right title for Krystal. She is more of a fairy godmother with a camera -- part friend, part artist, part counselor and champion and conductor and protector and visionary. She made us feel so comfortable and calm while being the most encouraging and supportive person in the room, and she moved mountains to make sure we got the photos (and the wedding day) of our dreams. Krystal captured every moment more beautifully than we could have ever imagined, she shepherded us through day-of chaos with expertise and grace, and she was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding.
My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of a camera, but Krystal's enthusiasm and kind direction changed that completely, and the experience of seeing ourselves through her lens was really special. The photos are the only ones we've ever seen of ourselves that show us the way we see each other -- they depict us the way we feel, not just the way we look. It's like Krystal bottled up every ounce of magic and joy from the day and saved it for us forever, The photos are romantic, real, timeless, and fun.
Krystal's talent and heart are truly a gift to every couple she works with. Do yourself a favor and hire her now -- right now!
I lucked out with only having talked to 1 other photographer before finding Krystal and needed to look no further. Krystal exemplifies every aspect you would want out of a wedding photographer. From my bridal portraits to the day of the wedding. She constantly made everything seamless. I am not one who loves taking photos and she made me feel so comfortable and actually enjoy the moment taking the photos by making me laugh and warm up. Weddings are so intimate and having someone standing there capturing every moment (vows and all) can be uncomfortable, but she made it seem like she wasn’t even there. Truly, looking back at some of the photos we looked and thought “we didn’t even realize she was there in that moment?!” But there she was capturing every single detail and moment. I couldn’t imagine going through my wedding without her as the photographer!
We can't say enough great things about Krystal! She was incredibly professional and easy to work with from start to finish. On the days of our rehearsal dinner and wedding, she made everything feel effortless, capturing every special moment without being intrusive. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she truly brought out the best in us and our guests. The quality of her work is absolutely amazing, and we're so grateful for the beautiful memories she's captured.
we could not imagine our engagement + wedding day without krystal kast. the best of the best and could not recommend her enough. your wedding photographer is argurably the most important vendor of the day. she is with you from the moment you get ready until the lights go off. it is imperative to be extremely picky and selective when choosing this person. and that person is krystal. she made us feel like ourselves, was a part of the entire day seamlessly, and we can't wait to find more reasons to have her capture our family moments. we love you, krystal!
Krystal is absolutely amazing. I could not recommend her more highly for any couples looking for their wedding photographer! She managed to capture SO many aspects of our wedding weekend - including so many stunning photos of our guests - while seamlessly blending into the background. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in images that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We also received so many compliments from our guests and bridal party about how great she was to work with!
We had the most incredible experience with Krystal for our wedding day and engagement session! Not only did she capture every magical moment with stunning skill and creativity, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that nothing dampened our spirits - not even the rain!
When unexpected rain threatened to derail our outdoor wedding, Krystal didn't hesitate to jump right in with us, embracing the elements to capture the most breathtaking shots imaginable. Her dedication and enthusiasm were truly remarkable, and it made our day even more unforgettable. Beyond her exceptional talent behind the lens, Krystal brought a sense of joy and warmth to our wedding day. They were a calming presence amidst the chaos, effortlessly guiding us through each shot with professionalism and care. Needless to say, the final images exceeded our wildest expectations, each one telling a story of love, laughter, and joy. We are endlessly grateful to Krystal for her incredible work and for going the extra mile to make our day absolutely perfect. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will not only capture your moments but also become a cherished part of them, look no further than Krystal. She is simply the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Krystal, for making our wedding day truly magical! We would choose you again in a heartbeat.
Krystal's expertise is truly remarkable! Entrusting her with our May 2023 wedding was an exceptional decision. Right from the beginning, Krystal instilled a sense of ease and comfort in our collaboration. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured she captured every significant moment, weaving together a visual narrative that perfectly encapsulated our love story. Words can't express our gratitude for her outstanding work – we wholeheartedly recommend Krystal to anyone and everyone!
I never knew how special it would be to look back through my wedding photos until I had Krystal as my photographer. My family and I will forever be gushing over these and are in awe of how much of the emotion and joy was captured. Krystal was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the very beginning (nearly a year out from our wedding date!) she was invested in making sure my wedding day was perfect. She is very familiar with a lot of the Triangle venues and knew many of my vendors - she gave me day of planning and coordination advice right off the bat. She has such a cool, calm presence that you can't help but feel calm around her. The photo sessions never felt forced or awkward, and they turned out absolutely STUNNING - tons of B&W, various tones...I was absolutely blown away. I didn't even plan a shot list with her but she captured every single little detail without instruction. Her counterpart Brad was also an absolute joy. He knows how to make the experience fun and the groomsmen really enjoyed having him around pre ceremony. I would work with Krystal and team over and over again...I am truly sad it's over!
If we could give Krystal 10 stars, that would not be enough.
Beyond Krystal's incredible talent, she is a wonderful person and our wedding day (and bridal portraits/engagement photos) would not have been complete without her. Her work is timeless, elegant and beautiful.
Krystal was the first vendor we hired. We made sure our wedding venue and date was available in coordination with her availability -- we knew she had to be a part of our journey as we wanted both film and digital photos with heirloom quality, worthy of a publication or to cherish for years to come. Her work is truly exquisite.
Krystal has a way of capturing moments with true emotion, finding the essence of her subjects and capturing movement in static images, while creating a beautiful moment in time that feels like a crisp memory when you close your eyes. Her work takes you back to that exact moment captured and you can relive it; you feel her work.
She has a way with people that is second to none -- gently managing flower girls, grandmothers and other guests, while keeping pace of a tight wedding schedule, getting the necessary shots and racing weather if need be. She can capture the best side of anyone, from people who are uncomfortable in front of the camera to those who are the utmost photogenic. You know you are always in good hands with Krystal.
While not one detail was missed, Krystal managed to be stealthy and her presence was never overbearing or obvious. Her direction is clear, she worked really well with our videographer, and she has the perfect balance between professional and artist. She made it fun and her smile can calm any nerves.
We hope to have future opportunities to work with Krystal again. She is officially in the family!
If you are looking for a photographer -- look no further!
From the moment I met Krystal, I knew our wedding photos were in very good hands. We first met Krystal at our engagement shoot. She was so helpful in giving us ideas as to where to shoot the engagement photos. She was also very flexible regarding our busy schedules. We had never had professional photos taken before, but she made it very easy and natural for us. We instantly hit it off as she has a warm personality. She went the extra mile to ensure we loved our engagement photos.
Krystal also made every effort to understand both my husband and me, our journey, and what we wanted for the vision of our wedding photos. She executed amazingly and I had so many friends reach out asking for her name and contact information. We loved how she incorporated flash photography and captured candid, real moments. It transports us back to the day every time we flick through our photos.
We were also very impressed with Krystal’s delicate care with understanding family dynamics. We have large extended families and she made sure to get all the family portraits, gave lots of thought to family groupings, and was able to still keep everything moving smoothly on schedule.
Aside from family, our friends also loved Krystal and her team. They were simply lots of fun and kept up such a high energy and vibe throughout the night which naturally led to some amazing photos of our guests.
She was open to ideas on the day for a special request regarding portraits to be taken in the nearby arboretum and they turned out so beautifully. I will truly cherish these wedding portraits for the rest of my life. Thank you so much to Krystal and her lovely team for being crucial to our wedding day. I would highly recommend Krystal and her team for anyone looking for timeless photography and exceptional professionalism.
Krystal was AMAZING. She was so calm, cool, collected, and sooo talented. We opted to have a second photographer, who was also such a joy to be around. No freak outs or drama - she gets the job done efficiently but also makes it fun :) I HIGHLY recommend Krystal for your wedding or event photography - you won't regret it!!
Cannot say enough good things about Krystal! She was a delight to work with on both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and made it all so easy. To this day, our parents still rave about how amazing our photography team was!
We received our galleries back quickly and her photography left us speechless. She has an incredible eye for wedding photography and I will cherish my photos forever!
Krystal and her team are INCREDIBLE!! I cannot emphasize how much we enjoyed working with her. She was so flexible in her scheduling/packages-- we had already had a photographed engagement session at our home in another state, so she instead offered to cover more time during our wedding day (just one of many options she offered). She captured some of my most treasured memories. For as many photos as are taken on a wedding day, I never felt awkward or "over" taking pictures. She made posing easy and natural for everyone. She took incredible digital AND film photographs and she made sure to capture the types of photos that we felt were most important to us. I have SO many incredible candids of myself and my husband, our wedding parties, our families and friends. She captured moments that I didn't get to witness on the actual day. Krystal is so incredibly kind and easy to work with and I would choose her over and over again. You will not go wrong if you choose her to photograph any special day of yours.
What an incredible experience we had working with Krystal! So easy to work with and the photos we received were STUNNING!! Thank you Krystal for capturing our special day!!
We had the best experience working with Krystal. She and her whole team are so kind, fun, and flexible. They made everyone feel at ease. She even worked with my very tight schedule and traveled to me so I could have bridal portraits done (and I'm so glad I did – they're gorgeous!). I loved having that time to get to know Krystal one on one, too! Our wedding photos are also stunning, and she delivered them to us so quickly! We've had the best time looking through. So so glad we were able to work together!!
This is a few months late but we are so, so happy to have chosen Krystal for our big day. In retrospect, the photographer is such a key vendor - we spent so much time with her the day of and she made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly which moments to capture without us telling her specifically. She is not only talented and took the most beautiful photos of us, our venue, our family & friends, but also was the most kind person to work with and to have on our team during the day (and leading up to the wedding). I highly recommend Krystal for your wedding day!
Words won't do justice for how FANTASTIC Krystal is! The ultimate professional and just pure talent. We have been reliving our day since getting our photos back and they are beyond beautiful. Krystal really captured our special moment in the most magical way possible. And an added bonus is that she is the absolute coolest to be around <3
Krystal truly has an artist's eye. She captured our moments beautifully in such a classic, timeless style. We are so thrilled with our photos from Krystal and her team, and we will cherish them for a lifetime!
Alright, it’s taken my wife and I a while to write our review, because, you know, life and stuff, but let me tell you this right now – “Krystal Kast is a superhuman, one-of-a-kind, photographic angel sent from above”. In the midst of her own personal family concerns, Krystal not only found a way to travel to the Dominican Republic for our wedding but also coordinated with a local photographer who captured some of the most incredible, memorable, and entertaining photos from our wedding – both from the beach and from the sky.
Imagine this, the resort at which we had the wedding, found every conceivable way to botch and bungle every selection, decision, and specific request that we had made. Things were not going our way, but then, comes our opportunity to work with Krystal on our pre-wedding session. Across the resort, saunters over this wonderful human, clad in Indiana Jones-esque leather holsters of photography who proceeded to work harder and more efficiently than the poor souls shoveling coal into the bowels of the Titanic as it sank. One difference – Krystal not only kept our wedding afloat, despite the best efforts of the resort, but provided us memories that our resort-provided videographers missed time and time again.
Heading to the bar for a drink? Krystal gets the shot.
Flexing some of the worst dance moves in your arsenal? Yup, she got it.
Giving your new wife an impromptu lap dance in the middle of the dance floor? Oh, you KNOW she’s got that!
I’m not sure they’ve come up with a rating scale that can accurately capture both the quantity and quality of work that Krystal provides. I honestly couldn’t give her enough stars, and a scale of 10 is underselling her ability and work ethic by a mile. Seamlessly changing out cameras, lenses, perspectives, and subjects, Krystal provided us with so many photos that it overwhelmed even my mother.
And honestly, more important than Krystal’s abilities, is how wonderful of a person she is and how much of joy she was to work with. She’s so friendly, accommodating, and an absolute dream to work with.
If you’re not working with Krystal Kast, you’re making a mistake.
This was a not our first rodeo, so my future husband and I were not sure what we wanted to do in the way of pictures for our wedding or even if we wanted to do any professional photographs. Thankfully we did and we could not have made a better choice than Krystal Kast Photography! We connected from our very first meeting and were amazed at how much fun Krystal made the day. It is a testament to Krystal’s vision and professionalism that she was able to make the complete experience so very special for us.
We loved all the images that Krystal was able to capture and regrettably for us when it came to decision-making time there was not a bad one in the bunch. So many beautiful images and memories captured and re-lived every time we look at these pictures! Krystal felt more like one of our close friends or family members than a vendor and was incredibly patient as we kept thinking of more images we wanted to capture. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She guided our group to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted but was also very flexible and patient.
The images from our day bring out the exact memories we wanted. Since we are older, we can appreciate these images even more as we are well aware of how quickly life can change. We sincerely appreciate her energy and dedication and feel that she made the day even more special and meaningful. If anyone is looking for the perfect person to trust capturing these precious memories perfectly, we would highly recommend Krystal Kast Photography.
Krystal is wonderful to work with. She made the bride feel so comfortable and relaxed for her portrait session and that was so special. She was amazing for the wedding and rehearsal dinner and captured such wonderful moments! We are having a hard time choosing the best pictures because there are so many to choose from.
Krystal was by far our most beloved and valued "vendor" but I would call her more of a friend. She went over and beyond months in advance by having phone calls with us to answer questions, brainstorm, and because she genuinely cared to get to know us better before our wedding day. She took control when needed and most importantly made us feel calm and relaxed throughout the day and night. We dodged on and off rain the entire day but she monitored it and made sure to get the best shots when it wasn't pouring! Lastly, Krystal goes above and beyond what she is hired to do. She was around for much longer than contracted and also made sure we kept on schedule the entire day. She is incredibly talented but also just someone you want to have as part of your day. She is someone who made it so special and memorable for us. If you are reading this review, hurry up and hire her! Thank you Krystal!
Krystal is not only a great photographer, she is a great person. We loved working with her and were so pleased with my daughter's wedding portfolio. She can command a crowd and get the job done for posed pics and her candids are super cool and fun. Highly recommend. ~Betsy B
Krystal is amazing! We did an engagement shoot with her, which I didn’t want to do, but she recommended. So glad we did. She made us feel so comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing. However, on our wedding day, she went above and beyond. She made us feel so comfortable. She not only took photos but helped us in so many other ways that weren’t even her job (she helped zip my dress and put on my shoes!). She is beyond fabulous! So professional.
Krystal did my sister’s wedding and I loved her so much that I had her do my wedding as well. She is very organized, low key, goes with the flow, yet, also is extremely knowledgeable and listens well to what you want. She prepares a series of questions ahead of time to ensure that on the day of things go as planned. She is very fun and easy to work with while providing quality work!
Krystal is the best of the best! She exceeded our expectations in every way and I knew our day would be perfect because she was there. Not only is she an exquisitely talented photographer, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people you will ever met. From our first phone call to the last photo on our wedding night, Krystal made my husband and I feel so special, comfortable, and like her number one priority. She is extremely organized and communicative with such a warm and calming presence. Booking her as our first vendor truly set the tone for everything and having her there on our wedding day gave me great peace knowing everything would be perfect. And I haven’t even gotten to the photographs…which are STUNNING! I knew based on our engagement session that the wedding photos would be magical, but they are even more perfect than I imagined. Krystal expertly captured every detail of our special day and I truly felt like we were reliving each moment through the photos. The joy was so palpable and authentic and the photography is timeless and beautiful. As everyone says, your wedding day goes by so quickly, so having these precious photos for a lifetime is such an amazing gift. You can truly tell how much heart and soul Krystal pours into her work and her couples. We were so grateful to have Krystal as part of our team and so lucky to get to know her during this process! Krystal, thank you a million times over!
5 stars is not enough!!! From helping us feel comfortable at our engagement photo session to capturing every detail at our reception, Krystal is just amazing. She made everything easy and we have received so many compliments on our pictures. Booking Krystal for your wedding/event photographer is one of the best decisions you will make - I can’t recommend her enough!
Krystal is truly the best vendor I could have asked for. We moved our wedding back a full year due to COVID and she was so helpful through that process and so much more. She helped me stay on track with my planning efforts and made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch! She is extremely well-organized, communicative in the exact right amount (never gave us information overload and also never left me with additional questions), and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Not to mention her work product is PERFECT - she captured every moment seamlessly and organically, never making any element feel like a "production". I could not have asked for a better photographer – meeting and working with her was one of the many highlights of the whole season for us. Krystal, we appreciate you so much and are so grateful to have had you as a part of this special time!
Where to begin with Krystal? I could not ask for a better wedding photographer. In addition to delivering an absolutely stunning wedding album, Krystal was communicative, accomodating, supportive of my crazy ideas, and incredibly knowledgable about how to make the most incredible pictures fit seamlessly into my wedding day.
We chose to work with Krystal because of her timeless, artful, documentary-esque style of photography. We wanted to remember our wedding day exactly as it was, without all of the trendy filters and stiffly-posed portraits, and Krystal made that happen. She and her second shooter had the uncanny ability to wrangle all of our wild family and friends into beautiful, authentic portraits, capture all of the tiniest details and make them look beautiful, and simultaneously be everywhere at once without being intrusive. She was able to capture every photo on my shot list as well as every. single. guest at my wedding. My favorite part about Krystal Kast's photography is her reception photos -- she didn't shy away from the fun, candid photos, and I will always be grateful to have those moments captured. All in all, can't recommend her enough.
Where do I start...Krystal is absolutely amazing. She is an extremely gifted, talented and spectacular artist. Her photography transcends traditional wedding photography into pieces of fine art. Beyond that, Krystal is a wonderful human being. She brings total love, kindness and support to every interaction. She was so great to work with before, during and after both engagement and wedding photo shoots. The personal connection that she creates is evident in how amazing the photos are. I can't imagine having anyone else as my photographer to capture these special moments and be there on such a special day.
Krystal was an absolute DREAM. She captured every moment of our day and you can see our emotion in every shot. Going through our pictures truly felt like reliving the day. I could not be any more happy with the way our wedding day photos turned out.
She also did a fabulous job for our engagement photos, even traveling to meet us in the city we currently live. She is so talented and definitely knows how to get the best lighting, angles and backgrounds. She even got to the location early to scope out all of the best spots. I wish I could describe better how fantastic our pictures are.
Not only were the pictures gorgeous and perfect, Krystal was so amazing to work with throughout. Even while being insanely busy due to the amount of weddings during this crazy COVID time, she was incredibly responsive and organized throughout. Out of all of our vendors, she was so professional from our first phone meeting and continues to be over communicative even now that our wedding day is over. I knew I could count on her from our very first phone call.
She also has the best demeanor and was such a calm and fun presence on our day. I felt so relaxed in all our pictures because of the environment she helped create.
Krystal is truly the BEST!
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend for your special day. You will not regret it.
Krystal is an extraordinarily talented photographer and a true professional! During the planning process she was very responsive and was also flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. On the day of our wedding, Krystal was extremely efficient and professional with setting up the portrait shots and creating relaxed and natural poses for me and my husband as well as our wedding party and families. Throughout the ceremony and reception, Krystal faded into the background and allowed us and our guests to enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent while also capturing amazing candid photos that preserved our wedding day to perfection. When we received our photos back, we were completely stunned with how many amazing photos we had from our special day and we are so excited to have them as memories to look back on in the coming years. Krystal’s photography is so dreamy and romantic and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. We were extremely happy with our experience with Krystal Kast Photography and would recommend her very highly!
When I think back to our wedding day, Krystal comes top of mind because she truly was one of the biggest reasons the day was so perfect. Going back to our first shoot with Krystal for our engagement photos, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and confident. Krystal supported us throughout the process of postponing our wedding and was helpful in every way - providing advice/guidance when you asked and giving you honest answers during some tough decisions. Fast forward to our wedding day, we cannot say enough good things about Krystal. Besides being an incredibly talented photographer (which is obvious if you look at her website or instagram for even 1 minute) but she is organized, thoughtful, responsive, direct, patient, flexible, and her overall positive and bubbly personality is felt throughout your wedding day. I titled our review "The Glue of the Wedding Vendor Team" because I truly think that is a representation of how Krystal works. She is so prepared and organized and thought through in advance how to efficiently and effectively photograph our wedding day to ensure everything we wanted was delivered - and then ensured to communicate it to us!! If you want a photographer that is truly amazing, professional, and supportive, you should be booking Krystal now. When we decided to postpone our wedding, we chose our new date around Krystal's availability because it was so important to have her part of our day. Thank you Krystal for everything!!!!
Hiring Krystal as our wedding photographer for our wedding on April 3rd 2021 was the best decision we could have made. She is incredibly talented, kind, accommodating, and easy to work with. She did an incredible job with our engagement session and wedding. Her personality makes everyone so comfortable, like you have been friends with her for years. My husband and I usually hate pictures of ourselves but it was hard to find a photo from the day that we did not like! When looking for our wedding photographer we were immediately drawn to her portfolio and how timeless and classic her photos were. When we got back our wedding day photos we were blown away on how much the day was depicted. Clicking through the photos truly told the story of our wedding day. We didn’t even miss not having a videographer! Not only did she get amazing photos of us, but she also captured amazing group photos of our guests. I feel when you attend a wedding, the photographer never asks to take a photo of you with your family or date, but Krystal went above and beyond making everyone feel important. Hands down would hire her again in a heartbeat if we had the chance.
MOB review: Krystal was incredible to work with all through the planning process--from multiple meetings months in advance, on The Big Day itself, through the glorious moment her incredible photos were delivered ON TIME and we could relive our daughter's perfect wedding day! She's a peerless professional with plenty of wisdom to share and the natural joy and good humor to dispel any jitters from flower girl to celebrant. We absolutely adore Krystal--she's a fantastic human being with a fabulous eye for catching moments we'll treasure forever.
Don't hesitate--she's the one!
To put it simply, Krystal is the best wedding photographer in the business! My husband and I felt that Krystal put her entire heart and soul into our wedding. We would give her 1000 stars if we could. She did our engagement photos, bridal portraits, burying the bourbon, and wedding photos, and it was all perfect. I would frame every single photograph if that were possible! Working with her was a dream, and my husband and I continue to be blown away by the quality of her work.
Going into wedding planning, photography was a high priority, and choosing to work with Krystal was the best decision ever. She is an incredibly talented artist, and also a wonderful person. She put me at ease from the first moment we met, and I had the pleasure of getting to know her very well over 2 years of wedding planning. Prior to the wedding, she shared recommendations for other vendors and was always responsive, warm, friendly, and professional. She was also proactive and organized, and shared an amazing guide to wedding photography to help us with our planning. All throughout the process, she made things so easy and it was so clear that she cared about us as a couple.
On the wedding day, Krystal’s presence was calming and joyful. Being around her was honestly so grounding, and my mind was completely at ease because I trust her completely and knew she would capture every special moment beautifully. My jaw actually dropped when we received our wedding photographs. Somehow, Krystal was able to capture every single shot we had requested, and much, much more. Our wedding photos are even more breathtaking and dreamy than I ever could have imagined. Her work with natural light is just stunning. She perfectly captured the emotion, tenderness, and beauty of our wedding day, and it was so special being able to experience moments that I wasn't even a part of on the wedding day (like a heartfelt moment between the groom & his groomsmen).
If I could do it all over again, I would choose Krystal in a heartbeat. She is an incredible person who we now call a dear friend, and we will forever cherish her photographs of the best day of our lives. She went above & beyond for us and we could not be more grateful. Thank you Krystal-- we love you!
Krystal is hands down amazing at her work, in addition to being an all-around great person. She photographed our engagement shoot and entire wedding day, and we couldn’t be happier with the products. She’s flexible and easy-going, willing to accommodate our locations for our engagement shoot and our large family pictures at the wedding. She was always on top of the day and I knew where we had to be when for the best shots. Our wedding day was captured perfectly and her excitement for photography and making the couple feel comfortable is what sets her apart! What was a nice bonus is when we received all the photos from the wedding, she had taken great ones of all the guests which is a special addition and will make perfect Christmas presents. I would hands down recommend Krystal for your wedding!
You will not find a better human or photographer than Krystal Kast! In a year that proved difficult for brides and vendors alike, she exuded positivity and remained overly communicative which put my partner and I at ease. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
Krystal successfully captured the depth, emotion and magic of our 25-person wedding day that was originally supposed to accommodate 150. In fact, I've had a tough time avoiding creating a wedding shrine in my living room. Each timeless photo brings out the best in our relationship and the unique personalities of our loved ones. It's just incredible! 15/10 would recommend including Krystal as a partner on your special day!
We hired Krystal Kast for our engagement photos and wedding. She is the absolute best for so many reasons! First, she is incredibly talented. Simply put - her photos are stunning and timeless. Second, Krystal makes her couples feel so comfortable. We had never been professionally photographed together, and yet she made it feel like a natural process so our pictures radiate genuine happiness and comfort. Even my husband didn't mind the experience ;) Lastly, Krystal truly cares about her couples. When we had to cancel our original wedding due to COVID-19, Krystal was beyond understanding, cooperative, and communicative in helping us work out an arrangement despite many moving pieces. She's a fabulous photographer and all-around person...you can't go wrong choosing her to capture the most special moments of your life!
Krystal is magical. She captured all of our amazing moments. From engagement, bridal, to our wedding day. They all were unbelievably stunning.
She is just has amazing as her work. She is such a pleasure to be around, and makes you feel so comfortable.
Krystal was an absolute GEM to work with!! Given that our wedding took place in July 2020 during the pandemic, there were a good bit of road bumps and changes to our ceremony and reception. Krystal was so incredibly kind, understanding and creative the whole way through! We had originally contracted for two shooters, but when we had to change things logistically she was seamlessly able to bring in a third shooter. To me the fact that she was able to bring someone on so last minute was truly a testament to how much people must enjoy working with her. And I can see why, Krystal is incredibly genuine, kind, professional and passionate about her craft in a way that is unparalleled. I couldn’t imagine a better experience with a wedding photographer!!
Krystal! Thank you SO much for capturing our special day for us, especially during such unique circumstances!!
Krystal is amazing, we love her so much! I don’t even know where to start. Our wedding got postponed due to the pandemic, but my now husband and I still wanted to get married so we decided to have an intimate ceremony with immediate family. Krystal was very accommodating and easy to work with through the 100s of changes to the plan. She did everything to make our imperfect situation perfect. We luckily still get to have her for our big wedding in November and for my bridal portraits. She is so kind and easy to talk to and be around. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else as our photographer but her. Our wedding venue had given us a preferred vendor list (which is how we found her) and now I know why she is one of few on there!!! I consider Krystal a now friend to us, and will forever be thankful she was able to capture our special day. ...more rave about her to come after November :)
Krystal captured our wedding day so beautifully. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel at ease. She showed up before anyone else the day of. Her work is truly amazing and speaks for itself. I’m so glad we chose her as our wedding photographer. I’m in love with our wedding pictures!
Krystal was amazing to work with! We were planning our wedding from out of state and she went out of her way to make our experience confident, comfortable, and calm. We love our photos and would highly recommend her!
Krystal Kast Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding and engagement photos! Krystal was prompt and communicative in all of our interactions, and she brought a sense of clear structure and organization to the process. She was an encouraging and supportive presence to us throughout, and she was flexible and adaptable to our needs, as well as to changing preferences and circumstances. She is friendly, genuine, and easy to talk to. She engaged our families and friends in ways that brought a sense of ease and connection. At the same time, Krystal knows her job well, and has clear expertise in her craft - she was incredibly thorough in the types of photos she took to make sure to capture our day in the fullest way possible. We were amazed at just how many moments and details she caught on camera! Her work is truly fine art - the quality, color, and overall effect of our prints was stunning...it took my breath away! We are so thankful we chose Krystal, and you will be, too!
Krystal is the absolute best! She was so easy to work with, fun, and so professional. My husband and I were blown away by both the engagement photos and wedding photos. They are stunning. Krystal is communicative and went above and beyond to make the whole experience wonderful. Every shot Krystal takes is gorgeous! I highly recommend.
Just wanted to take a second to give kudos to Krystal! Krystal is amazing and was the perfect person for the job! The photographer was the most important vendor choice for me, and I have absolutely no regrets in selecting Krystal! She was very attentive to all the details, was a pro at knowing where to get the best shots at our venue, and just made the experience fun! My husband and I are soo awkward when the focus is on us and we were worried about looking this way in our photos, but she knew exactly how to direct us and make the experience calm and relaxing! She is also very flexible and is willing to work with you on everything! You can tell she really cares about giving you the experience you are looking for. Highly, highly, highly recommend! Her 2 additional shooters were also so great! Very nice and knowledgeable as well. Very excited to see how everything turns out!
We unequivocally recommend Krystal Kast Photography for your wedding photography. We worked with Krystal for our engagement photos, a bridal portrait session and photos of our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Krystal has such a fantastic demeanor that taking pictures (something we were not completely used to doing) felt easy and natural. Krystal captured the emotion of each event and she captured everything! Krystal was like a ninja--she got fantastic photos of each moment from absolutely every angle possible, but she wasn't obtrusive at ALL. We loved working with her second shooter, Brad, also.
Most importantly, all of the photos--the portraits, the action shots, the candids--are excellent. We can't count how many times we've gone through and looked at all of them.
Krystal is the best of the best--you absolutely cannot go wrong choosing her to be your wedding photographer. We are so glad we chose her to be a part of one of the most important days of our lives.
Without a doubt, there is no better decision that we made during the planning process than to work with Krystal Kast.
From the engagement session through the end of the wedding, she made everything such a BREEZE. She made my (now) husband and I feel so at ease through the entire process - and was a total PRO when it came to every single detail.
For this type-A planner, she was so organized and on top of everything, that I legitimately did not have to worry about a thing.
Not only does she have such an amazing temperament and personality, she is an absolute MASTER at her craft and her work with light is to.die.for.
I hope that I have another event in my life that allows me to work with Krystal again, but if not, I hope everyone I know hires her for their special moments!
The moment I met Krystal I knew she was the best photographer I could have picked! She exceed our expectations and created the perfect memory of our wedding day, engagement and my bridal portraits. We first met Krystal on the day is our engagement photos. I felt like I had known her for years. She made us feel comfortable and laugh through the whole shoot. Krystal and Brad made everyone feel as ease on the day of and made the wedding day jitters disappear. They were flexible and patient throughout the entire day. Our friends and family have raved about Krystal from the moment they met her on the wedding day and now after seeing all the pictures. Krystal delivered a breathtaking gallery of pictures. She captured every detail perfectly. I can’t wait to hang these pictures in my house! Krystal is the best!!
Krystal was simply amazing! We took our engagement, my bridal portrait, and our wedding photos with Krystal. Her photography is timeless. She has a calming presence and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. She is extremely talented and I know that we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Krystal!!
Krystal and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Not only did Krystal produce beautiful photos from our wedding day, but she was able to capture all the moments that fit our personalities, both as a couple and as individuals, perfectly. Her ability to quickly understand her clients was truly remarkable. She made photography fit seamlessly in to our wedding day which allowed us to fully enjoy the day without having to worry about capturing any moments or missing any special moments. Krystal will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day and for all of the memories you want to treasure in the years to come!
Krystal was BY FAR the best vendor we chose for our wedding and blew us away with her photos every time. The engagement shoot photos and the wedding day photos were both ridiculously amazing. She seems to carefully consider every single photo so that is has the most beautiful lighting, backdrop, perspective, and artistic eye. She is really insanely talented at her art (seriously we admired the beauty of the photos for days and days when they were released), and we are so lucky that she captured our big day in the best way. With weddings, things can go wrong or turn out differently than you hoped - just like life - and it's easy to think about the imperfections while you wait for the photo release. It's also sometimes hard to remember everything since your wedding day is a blur and goes by extremely fast ...but as soon as we saw the photos, the negative emotions around the things that went wrong seemed to just melt away. She amazed us by capturing the pure joy, the immense amount of love, the silliness and fun, and the little sweet moments that had been so fleeting. Through Krystal's work, we were able to see the magic and joy that we truly felt on our special day. Book her now, you won't regret it!
I NEED 10 STARS to rate Krystal Kast Photography! From our first meeting with Krystal (and having met with 2 other photographers), we knew immediately we had found THE one. From the beauty of her photographs, to her easy and warm demeanor, she was everything we had hoped for in our wedding photographer. The icing on the cake was her responsiveness, attention to detail and follow-through, both before the wedding and after we received all the photgraphs digitally. Her planning (which guided us) helped us ensure that we got every detail and all the people we wanted to be to sure to remember in pictures. She was so easy and fun to have around all day and all evening, knowing just when to step up and be directive and when to fade into the background and just snap away. The photographs are AMAZING and have captured the essence and detail of our special day. You can't go wrong with Krystal -- highly, highly recommend!!
Krystal is truly an artist and was absolutely amazing to work with. She made the entire process such a breeze. I honestly could never have dreamed that our wedding photos would be so amazing. She captured the absolute best parts of the day with perfection. Amazing value for service and quality that is unparalleled. HIGHLY recommend!!!!
Krystal Kast is phenomenal! She captured every detail of our wedding, the guest, the decorations, and most of all she captured all those moments that we didn’t even know she was getting, the laughs, smiles, hugs, dance moves! I would highly recommend Krystal to be a part of our special day again a thousand times over!
If you want gorgeous photos to treasure forever, look no further. We were married on May 4th, 2019 and were lucky enough to work with Krystal for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the beginning, she was a joy to work with. She made us feel comfortable with her laid back vibe and yet you could tell she she had a high attention to detail. She was flexible and ready for an adventure when we broached the idea of heading to Hanging Rock for our engagement shoot despite it being complicated to plan. On our wedding day, despite being quite behind from hair and makeup, she managed to keep me calm (as much as possible on wedding day) and not compromise on getting the photos I wanted. She was constantly moving all day long capturing details of our day. We got our photos in 6 weeks from our wedding day and received over 1,000! She meticulously stores your photos so you know they are safe. We absolutely loved working with Krystal and would definitely choose her again given the chance!!
Krystal was one of my favorite people to work with in the planning of our wedding. She did an excellent job capturing us as a couple, creating photos that have an artistic voice without becoming too stylized or time stamped. Krystal did a great job moving throughout the day even though plans changed often and it was a little chaotic. I would recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful, modern wedding photography that they will be able to be proud of for a long time. On top of it all, she's just a sweet person and was lovely to get to know (:
Krystal was amazing!! The photographs perfectly captured the entire experience...we now can relive this absolutely precious and meaningful day over and over again. She is warm, professional, artistic and personal in every interaction. She was one of the best and most important decisions we made in planning our daughter's wedding. She is exceptional....truly!
