About this vendor
Planning a wedding can be stressful—having photos taken shouldn’t be.
As a type A planner and someone who lives to make others laugh, I’ll make sure this is the easiest and most FUN part of wedding planning.
My specialty lies in making sure you never look or feel awkward, and instead of capturing posed shots, I capture the real, real love stuff.
Every couple’s relationship has a different dynamic—little things that make each other smile and laugh. I’m here to make sure those sides of you are captured perfectly, and that when you look back at these photos, you’ll be reminded of exactly why you fell in love in the first place.

Kristin at Lively Photography did our engagement and wedding photos for our October 2024 wedding. We love all of the photos that she captured for both; she captured beautiful portr...
aits as well as candid shots throughout the day that were appreciated. She was organized on the day of the wedding and was able to stick to our timeline (as well as be flexible with alterations to the timeline during the planning process). She also provided some content creation video clips for us that I love to look back on. It took ~4 months to get our full photo gallery after the wedding due to various life circumstances but she communicated about the timeline and quickly sent any photos I requested prior to that. And we got an extensive sneak peak gallery almost immediately after the wedding.
We met Kristin at the Bridal Fair in Wichita, KS. We immediately knew we wanted her as our photographer for our daughter's wedding. First of all, we loved her photos, her pricing...
and contract were straight forward. We felt comfortable from the minute go. What we didn't know when we booked her, were all the little surprises along the way. She is extremely thorough. She really helped us with tweaking our timeline to ensure maximum benefit. She shows us with a team and a plan. She was always available, always friendly. We received sneak peeks the very next morning and they were so fun to have. She also recommended photos we never even thought of making sure we captured and we're so grateful for that. Most of all, we just received the full album, as promised (on time) and oh my! The way she organized it made it so fun to go through. We truly felt like we were able to re-live the day from the pictures and we're so happy to have them. There were things she captured that we didn't even see. If you want a professional that is organized and easy to work with. One that will help refer you to vendors she's personally worked with and more. She's your one-of-a-kind, delight of a photographer. Five stars all the way! So glad we happened upon Lively Photography at the vendor fair!
I had the BEST experience with Kristin at Lively Photography. She made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera when we didn’t know if we would! She was always on t...
ime and excited to get to know us and our story. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so grateful. Can’t recommend enough! We’ll definitely be using Lively Photography for events to come!
We loved having Lively Photography as our photographer! Kristin was wonderful throughout the full process. Communication was smooth and she was on top of everything. The engagement...
session that was included in our wedding package was fun and the least stressful photography session, especially since neither my husband or I love being in front of a camera. Lively Photography was very prepared for the big day and was very thorough with our pre-big day meetings. We did start a little late with pictures due to other factors and unfortunately had to cut one or two things we wanted pictures of but Kristin never made it feel rushed and made all of the picture taking fun and comfortable. We nearly forgot they were there with how discreet they were and now we have beautiful and amazing pictures capturing our wedding events! Thank you to the Lively Photography team for being fun to work with and taking amazing pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
Kristin has always been, and always will be, the easiest photographer to work with! She is as bright as her style and has nothing but love and respect for the couples she works wit...
h. We have booked with her for years, which made it all the more special when she was there to capture our wedding day! We have seen so much of her work (yes, we got my sister on the bandwagon for her own wedding), and every gallery really reflects the time and consideration she devotes to each and every couple. Kristin is communicative, flexible, and firm where you need her to be--someone has to wrangle groomsmen, let's be real! She gives you a solid timeline and plenty of suggestions for other vendors to make sure you have everything you need prior to the big day. We are so grateful for Kristin! She has truly become a friend through the year, and she will continue to be the only person we trust with capturing our most special moments! ❤️
I was once told that if you pick the right wedding vendors your wedding day will be smooth and things will all fall into place. Lively photography was not only one of my favorite v...
endors but they absolutely played a huge role in making our wedding day perfect. From the second I FaceTimed with Kristin I was sure she was just what we were looking for. Throughout the entire process from booking to post-wedding she has been so kind, supportive, and attentive. Kristin is an outstanding person and I appreciate her personality as well as her professionalism. Both Kristin and Brianna made it feel like I was talking to a friend, but also held a standard of proficiency. I am so incredibly grateful and impressed with the photos Lively Photography has given us. We will cherish them forever.
Don’t look any further! Book Lively Photography NOW! Not only do you get fabulous gorgeous pictures, you will get professional advice (without being pushy) about your wedding day. ...
Kristen met with us several times to make sure and capture all the pictures my daughter, her now husband and both families wanted. She had 2 photographers that were definitely a blessing! Whatever Kristen didn’t get (which wasn’t much), her assistant got. The amount of pictures we received was mind blowing. We also received a Sneak Peak within. 48 hours and the entire album within week!!! Kristen also was able to balance some “pusher” family members in check in a very professional manner. When you hire Lively Photographer (which you should not have a second thought) you will get so much more!!! Thank you Kristen for capturing priceless moments. Mom of the Beautiful Bride
WOW! There is so much to say about Kristin. She is like a best friend and photographer in one. Not only did she capture amazing photos on our wedding day and engagement session, sh...
e was also more prepared than any person at the wedding because she had extra Bobby pins, safety pins, Tylenol, etc. she was beyond happy to help with any issue that came up all while taking great quality pictures. We ended up with hundreds of photos that were phenomenal. She was sweet and compassionate but also stern enough to corral our massive family so we could get the family pictures done! Her second shooter was helpful and just as sweet and delicate as Kristin. I absolutely love the light and airy style Kristin uses in her photography. I would highly recommend using her 1000 times over.
We chose Lively Photography after seeing the work Kristin had done on a couple's shoot for my sister. We loved her light and bright style! Kristin communicates very well, she was a...
lways able to fully answer our questions, ease our anxiety, and make us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We will definitely be using her for our future photography needs as well!
Kristin is a magnificent wedding photographer! She captured gorgeous pictures of our wedding day that we can cherish for a lifetime! She was professional, fun, and completely unobt...
rusive while capturing every important moment. We are so incredibly happy with the outcome of our wedding photos! On top of that, her pricing is extremely reasonable. Kristin was also extremely easy to communicate with and answered messages very promptly, which resulted in the wedding photos going smoothly and easily on the wedding day. Overall, if you want a photographer who goes beyond your expectations, then Kristin is your girl! She is extremely talented and she definitely gets a 10/10 from us!
Kristin was our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t have been more lucky to find her! Even though we planned our wedding from a different state, she was very personable and easy ...
to communicate with. Kristin made our wedding planning process considerably easier by helping us lay out a schedule and plan for each event. When we were finally able to meet in person, it felt like she was just a friend taking our pictures- not some random photographer we hired. Taking the family and wedding party portraits was a breeze thanks to Kristin’s planning and positive energy. One of my favorite parts of our experience with Lively Photography was the same day slide show Kristin showed us. It was exciting to see some of the great shots she had been taking throughout the afternoon, and we had some photos to show friends and family on the day of the event! This was a much appreciated gesture by Kristin to make our day the best it could possibly be. On top of everything else, we only had to wait a few weeks to see the rest of the incredible photos she had taken. Lively Photography went above and beyond our expectations in every possible way, and we absolutely cannot recommend her enough!
We purchased Collection I from Lively Photography for our wedding on September 12, 2020. We would definitely recommend Lively Photography. She is very kind and confident. She was o...
ne of the more reasonably priced photographers and she gave us a good deal after losing my original photographer after I had to change our date due to losing NOAH’s as our venue. She also customized our package to what we were wanting. When I inquired about our date via email she got back to me right away! Her communication was very timely; she even sent me a preferred vendor list the next day. She met with me and my now husband in person about one month prior to the wedding date to go over the timeline and other details, which we appreciated, it was casual and felt like meeting up with an old friend. The week of the wedding, Kristin sent me a finalized timeline and some wedding week tips, which were very handy! The day of the wedding Kristin went to the chapel and scoped out the area ahead of time and snapped some photos of the outside of the chapel as well. We appreciated how Kristin learned all of the wedding party’s names, and addressed us by our names when giving directions. Her sister was the second shooter, she was very nice, but seemed like she still might be training, and was just not yet as skilled. We took almost all of our photos prior to the wedding and did a “first look.” We are very pleased with our photos, they are beautiful, light & airy, and have a gorgeous glow- This is something that really drew me to her style of photos. However, I do wish there was more variety in our poses, as it felt at times we were doing the same ones repeatedly, and sometimes she had us turn to each other and laugh-which felt/looked a bit forced at times. Though, we did really appreciate that she took our ideas into consideration and let us come up with and try out a few different poses or photo ideas that we had. Taking the photos of us with our wedding party and family went pretty smoothly, the only complaints we had was almost not getting photos with our flower girl and ring bearers, and having our grandmothers get up and down a few times for photos. Kristin was really good about keeping to our timeline, even when us bridesmaids came a bit late for our photos. She also took charge and got all our guests to line up before we did our bubble send off. One thing I wished was that we had a photo that was taken closer of our first kiss as husband and wife. At the reception venue we took a few more photos outside of just me and my husband and they came out so beautiful. She even had a few favorite photos already edited and put together a little slide show that my husband and I and our families viewed before the night was even over- which was a special treat! She also emailed us these sneak peek photos to us the very next day and she had the rest of the complete and edited gallery of over 900 photos to us within 3 weeks! We love how many photos she got and even ones we didn't know she took. There were just a few photos we wanted to edit some background stuff out of, and she was very willing to do this for us.

d a great job scouting the location prior to our session and knew exactly when and where to take the best photos. Her pricing is fair and comparable to other photographers in the area. We're definitely going to use her for more family photos in the future.

beautiful pictures. I changed my wedding date due to the coronavirus, and Kristin was so understanding and willing to work with me and my husband.

ivered in all the best ways! She is the ONLY photographer who I have loved every single one of my photos from. In all of the photos she's taken of me or my friends, there's never a bad or unattractive angle, and she's fantastic at capturing your personality too! I've recommended her to so many people, and she even took my little sister's senior photos and is now capturing my best friend's wedding! You will never regret choosing her to capture the moments that matter most.

feel so comfortable. What I thought was going to be awkward and weird, turned out to be such a fun experience. We laughed, and cried (just a little lol) and by the end I forgot that we were there to take pictures. We not only received amazing pictures, but also made an awesome friend. She is quick to reply to my millions of questions, and goes above and beyond to help you with all of your wedding planning. I am thrilled we picked her to shoot our big day next October.

e sweetheart who went above and beyond your typical photographer role and really made the day complete! She was great to work with, super creative, super detailed, and of course sweet! I'm also obsessed with the photos! They're so beautiful and she let us be US! We got to joke around, she was down for us doing our totally non-traditional first dance in the woods. It was great and she was beyond great! She was so awesome to work with I was able to talk my husband into doing family photos which hopefully I can get booked towards fall! Definitely recommend!
