Krystle Akin Photography

behind the camera. Just having her soothing Texan accent guiding through your big day is worth it's weight in gold. She gave me so many gorgeous images from our beautiful session that we simply adore and treasure!

el as if you have been friends for years. Her calming presence put everyone at ease even my husband –who hates to have his picture taken. We loved every single image from our wedding day. Krystle is an amazing and talented photographer.

cted Krystle because her portfolio is gorgeous and her prices packages accommodated our budget. We love that she captures all of a wedding's special moments using both film and digital photography. Additionally, she edits photos in a way that retains each person's natural beauty. I can't begin to express how thankful I was to have a photographer that made everyone feel beautiful. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful. She functioned as both a photographer and event assistant, but all the while acted like a good friend. If you're looking for a photographer that is talented, caring, supportive, affordable, and guaranteed to exceed expectations, look no further than Krystle.

I can't say enough good things about her, from scheduling and working with the Bride, she is tops in her field. And I have worked with others before her - So the praise is realistic. You may find another with lower prices but in my experiences you get what you pay for, and her prices are more than fair for her service and product. I would recommend her again and again.

ar and artistic as well. Krystle is easy to work with and stayed until after her 8 hours to finish and then drove the 2 hours home. She is amazing and goes above and beyond the call of duty !I am happy to recommend her !

r for my Daughters wedding! Thank you again for all that you did in capturing their day just the way it was.

coming up with creative ideas and knew exactly what it took for each photograph to turn out great. I would highly recommend Krystle Akin photography and am so glad I decided on her for my wedding. I couldn't be happier! :) Kayla Rhea

her to any future bride!

prised to find that I actually really enjoyed her presence as we were all getting ready together for the big day. I just loved her personality. When my husband proposed the next month and planning began, I immediately thought of Krystle. I did not want to make that decision too quickly though, so I looked into several other photographers. Some of them were more expensive and some were less. I decided to take price off the table (though I was on a budget) and really look at the photos more objectively. When it came down to my final decision I chose Krystle because her photos felt so natural and timeless. I think part of her ability to capture such beautiful images stems from how comfortable she makes you, and even the groom, feel. It is like you are working with a friend, that just happens to have a super fancy camera, an artistic eye, and incredible photography skills. I would recommend Krystle to any bride, and I feel certain that no one would regret hiring her.

hate to say I was thankful that someone else had to cancel their wedding, but... :) Her pricing is very reasonable, especially considering how much more I liked her photos than others we looked at that were the same price or more expensive. She also traveled to get to our wedding and didn't even charge us extra. Krystle was so sweet and our photos turned out beautifully! She makes you feel at ease while taking photos, and she is so creative! Overall we had a wonderful experience, and both mothers of the bride and groom were very happy with all the photos, which is really saying something. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer.

s and the way that she captured our day went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. She was very prompt in responding to all of our questions before the wedding and we received our pictures faster than she projected after the wedding and the wrapping that everything was in was just another reminder of how close her attention to detail is and how much she cares about making your day and memory of your day special. I would and have recommended her to everyone I know and will continue to do so. She is truly amazing and you will not be disappointed if you choose her to capture your special day!

She is amazing and I can not wait to continue to see her work online, on blogs, and even magazines. She makdes every bride feel special and fabulous! Thank YOU! You made our day sometrhing we will never forget! I hope our friendship continues to grow!!

t even notice her taking pictures of us throughout the night. Her personality and level of professionalism did not go unnoticed, so much so, that my maid of honor has decided to use her as the photographer for her big day : )

nd to me and was one of the only people who didn't try to convince me it was "nerves". She was so sensitive to how I was feeling and somehow managed to make me look as though I wasn't sick at all. Krystal is just one of those people you love to be around, which is great since your photographer is with you all night. We almost forgot she was there to take pictures, because she blended in with the party and had fun. She even taught our entire wedding how to do the Wobble! Even my fiance said, as we were leaving the reception, how professional and great she and her husband were. Her work is wonderful. I hope to hire her soon to do family portraits, if she is available. Don't think twice about hiring her, especially because she books up quickly! It was the best decision we made, by far.

eyond before the wedding with the bridal portraits as well.

Krystle is the kind of person that seems to make everyone smile with just one word or one sentence (which is a great thing on a rainy bridal portrait day and a frustrated bride)! My whole family, wedding party, and friends absolutely adored her. I am and will continue to recommend Krystle to anyone looking for a photographer no matter the occasion. She's the best and that's why I picked her for my wedding! :)

alls 2) quick to get your photos back to you at a timely manner (less than 1 month for our engagement/wedding) 3) good at capturing the small details of your special day 4) eager to help and give ideas if you need any help 5) great at taking beautiful pictures 6) professional 7) innovative My husband and I were so happy with our photos and we could never thank Krystle enough for doing such a great job of capturing our special day.

tographs are timeless beauty!

was her only client. It took me 3 months to find a photographer that did more than just the "traditional" wedding pictures but still kept the pictures classy and professional. She caputured our wedding in a way I know nobody else could have, I literally have over a thousand pictures from our wedding day and they are all so wonderful. She was ALWAYS very quick to respond to emails and has the best personality, our entire wedding party loved her! She became much more than a photographer to me, I am really going to miss talking to her nearly every week. She is the photographer you hope to have - a dream to work with and goes WAY above and beyond expectations!

kept choosing her pictures. I went on her website and to my suprise her prices were very reasonable!! I contacted her and she was so easy going and we set up the engagement session. Let me say when the time came..WOW WOW WOW. she is very cool, easy going, she was with us for what seemed like an entire day, she left I think at 9pm. when we got the pictures back I was so impressed at her work I was speechless!! Beautiful! Original! I mean, she had us pose in slightly akward positions but I trusted her and omg I'm glad I did!! This woman KNOWS what he is doing! On the wedding- same thing. First off , the entire time everyone was asking who did my engagement photos, lol. Second, everyone who was in my wedding pictures later has Krystle's pictures in their homes. That's how great she is. I recommend her hands down without a second thought. She is so easy to get a hold of, answers a million questions with a great attitude, and she goes out of her way with all aspects of being a photographer. And her pictures speak for themselves they are beautiful!! Highly, highly recommend!

our photographer as soon as I saw her amazing work. Krystle did our engagements, bridals and our wedding and I could not be more impressed with my photos. But what made the whole process even better is, on top of being a fantastic photographer Krystle was so much fun to work with, be around and talk with. On the wedding day we never felt rushed during pictures, on the day of our engagements she got my husband to actually somewhat “like” having his picture made…and on my bridals she actually put up with my silly dad giving her a hard time most of the day. ;) I feel blessed to have found such a sweet and artistic photographer. THANK YOU Krystle!! –Lots of Love Kristen & Michael

of the small details! Beautiful pictures! With her as your photographer, you will absolutely be thrilled with the quality of work, her professionalism, and how she helps keep your big day a day full of fun! :)

embered; natural and sweet and fun! A MUST have person for any wedding!

was a year before my wedding and knew that I would do whatever it took to make her my wedding photographer! She not only takes flawless photos, but she helped us with suggestions on decorating and planning and made the whole planning process a lot easier. I definitely recommend her if you want a photographer you can count on to not let you down in any way!

eel very comfortable which is important to look good in pictures. If she can get my husband to have a natural smile when he is the King of Cheese, she can do anything for anybody! She was great and everybody deserves a photographer like Krystle. :)

y favorite thing about her is that she is so creative and able to catch those "eye-catching" shots. She truly takes time to get to know you and your fiancé before she shoots with you so that she can customize your photos to your personalities. She is a photographer who is concerned about making her clients happy. I would most definitely recommend her to ANY bride wanting to have creative, colorful, & amazing photos of your special day!

a genuinely warm and bright personality which is a true reflection of her passion for what she does.

s know, so much time and effort are put into details that when your special day finally arrives...it's hard to pay attention to those little things that mattered so much at the time. After receiving our wedding pictures, I was quickly reminded of all the hard work and detaling that was put forth in making that day come together. With Krystle's images, I was able to re-live my fairy tale wedding by being reminded of all the little things- the flowers, the cake, linens, priceless expressions, the list goes on but most importantly, capturing the happiest day of my life. Not only is she extremely talented, she is the most easygoing and natural person to be around. If you are looking for a photographer that will listen to your needs, cater to your happiness, and make your day the MOST PERFECT day you could ever imagine- contact Krystle Akin. :)

rsonable and professional. We had to change our venue at the last minute due to weather conditions and she was totally flexible! Our wedding pictures are breathtaking! She captured every moment and the overall feeling of the day with great artistic flair! Her colors burst off the page and her attention to detail sets her apart from other photographers. She's so easy to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a fantastic experience with a talented young artist!

y not easy planning a wedding in another state that I had only visited once, which is why having Krystle was such a blessing, a true godsend! I was referred to Krystle through another photographer in Tyler, TX – once I saw the work on her website blog and spoke with her over the phone, I knew SHE was the one for us! First of all, she is probably the nicest person you will ever meet – she just exudes that southern charm!!! Krystle went above and beyond helping me with my wedding planning. She had referred other vendors to me which were all great to work with and she even referred me to someone for my hair and makeup . . . everything turned out beautifully! The day of our wedding was the first time I was able to meet Krystle in person. Let me tell you, it was like I had known her for years! She was so calming and just so extremely easy to work with! My family and friends fell in love with her instantly and all of our guests commented how great she was to work with! A few weeks after our wedding we received our custom wedding DVD with over 750+ edited images – I definitely had my work cut out for me going through all of pictures . . . they were just AMAZING and brought tears to my eyes. There were details throughout our ceremony and reception in honor of my mother and my husband’s father who had both passed and she captured each and every one of them so beautifully! Krystle has this phenomenal ability to capture the most special moments, her eye for detail is impeccable – her artistic, modern style is exactly what we were looking for! I’ve worked with photographers in the past who want you to write down or tell them a description of every photograph you want – with Krystle, this was definitely not needed. She notices EVERYTHING – her vision and her ability to bring out the beauty in the everyday world around us is just amazing! I do have one regret. . . My only regret is that because we lived out of state and were only in Texas for a short time, we were unable to do any engagement or bridal photos! I am hoping that she will make it out to Salt Lake City soon for a visit! :) I would definitely encourage anyone looking for an AWESOME photographer to call Krystle – I assure you, you will not be disappointed – She’s the BEST!!!

r my portraits... something so far from the traditional that I was really afraid no one would be able to catch my vision. Not only did Krystle capture my vision but she totally went as far outside the box as we could go and it could not have been more amazing in the end. Having already gotten to know her I was super stoked for my future husband and all of our attendants to see how awesome she was as well. She made our laid back wedding reflect a certain homemade elegance that I wanted so badly to have. She was not only our photographer but she pretty much helped us run the show at our wedding going above and beyond !!! She captures the most amazing heart warming pictures that are so beyond priceless.. you can almost feel the emotion in them :) My husband and I can truly say we have found a photographer for life to capture all of our awesome major mile stones !!! Thanks Krystle, MTownsend

stle was always on top of her game and there when we needed her, which is hard to find these days! With a 3 month engagement, Krystle had to work fast and get prints back to me within days!! She kept in touch with me and had everything ready before the time we needed it!!! She made us feel like family instead of every day clients. We loved working with her and can't wait to work with her again!!! -Sam and Brittany Garrard

I definitely was not disappointed and no one else who uses her will be either. We have received so many compliments on our photos and everyone is so amazed! When we were searching for a photographer my mother and I came across Krystle and we fell in love with her work! She is very comfortable to work with and she is very sweet and I always recommend her every time someone is looking for a photographer! I'm excited to see what she will do with our wedding photos :)

d I feel very comfortable. Before our engagement session I had hundreds of questions - she was so quick to respond to emails and was so willing to answer ANY questions I had whether it be about cost or about what outfits we should wear. We have scheduled Krystle for our wedding day and we could not be more excited!!!

avorite part was she captured the emotion in the photographs as well. When you look back on your wedding you don't want to look at the posed pictures as much as you do the candid ones, and she did an awesome job of capturing those special moments. I highly recommend her! One last thing, she is very easy to get ahold of and responds very quickly to any questions that you have. Love her!

some very unique shots she also took the traditional photos that grandparents and parents sometimes prefer. Everyone in my family including my husband and myself loved the photos. On top of this she is a fun person to work with. She made sure we enjoyed ourselves and never felt uncomfortable. She has good packages and at the time of my wedding (may 2010) she offered a free engagement session when you book a wedding.
