Stori Photos

tures and wouldn’t use anyone else!

On the day she made us feel very comfortable and captured truly stunning photos. She also did a fantastic job capturing photos of our guests! These were really important to us and Kristi delivered! We loved how easy it was to view our photos online and order prints and specialty products like ornaments (though there was no pressure to buy these items, important to note!). We looked at a lot of photographers before selecting Kristi, and we absolutely made the right choice!

e would definitely recommend The Dogwood Collective to anyone looking for a wonderful, friendly, and extremely talented photographer!

ithout us feeling rushed or anxious. We even got behind schedule a little bit, and she was still able to get all the photos we wanted. It felt very nice to have someone around who was familiar with weddings. We planned everything ourselves, so having her there to give a little advice was such a relief. She really did help the day go smoothly. You can tell that Kristi is genuinely interested in the story you have to tell. She wants to give you photos that you will cherish for a lifetime. Her photos are not just beautiful; they are personal. She takes time to make sure that you are getting pictures that are reflective of your personal story, not just aesthetically pleasing. You will be so happy if you chose The Dogwood Collective to photograph your wedding.

rapher was pretty important to us. That being said we were absolutely blown away by how awesome Kristi & April were. We really wanted a photographer who was creative and had ideas that you wouldn't typically see in wedding photos. You know the cool backlit silhouette types of photos with smoke in the background. Literally couldn't have been happier with our choice to go with The Dogwood Collective for our photos. If you're looking for an amazing and creative photographer in Arkansas seriously look no further. I promise this is the photographer you guys want.

at felt like my style. She was super easy to work with and made me feel confident that my day would be well documented. Well I am completely obsessed with how they all turned out. She captured our entire day, ran around a giant (beautiful) venue and put up with a very rowdy wedding. My husband struggles when it comes to taking pictures but she managed to get him smiling, with his eyes open. A true miracle. She is exactly what you look for in a photographer. You will not be disappointed.

ing job capturing the essence of the day. Just look at her work — She’s creative. She pays attention to detail. And she cares about you and your story. You won’t be disappointed with The Dogwood Collective.

lowed natural moments and the most incredible shots. Not even the Scottish weather bothered her, she made shooting in the cold rain one of the most fun days. The results were incredible and there were so many amazing pictures to choose from. I could not recommend Kristi more, she is so talented.

grapher about the dogwood collective. When I went to their website, I just knew it in my heart that I found who I wanted to shoot for my wedding. I had goosebumps, I felt emotion, and as I was looking through their portfolio and I knew I wanted those same feelings for photos on my wedding day. I am forever grateful for these 2 for capturing amazing moments from our engagement session and wedding day. They even surprised us with an engagement video that is to die for!!!! They hiked with us all around griffith park to get the shots that we wanted for our engagement photos. And on our wedding day, Sheila worked her magic ( even though it was like a 100 degrees outside) and got some beautiful shots for us. Our wedding day went by so fast so its nice to look back at these beautiful photos and really seeing how beautiful our wedding turned out! Thank you Kristi and Sheila for these beautiful moments that will forever be remembered by Jason and I. Everyone LOVES the photos.

gs is fun and light hearted making her a great addition to the experience. 10/10 without a doubt would recommend

ective, we very quickly realised that her work was a head and shoulders above anything we’d seen before. Her moody style is absolutely to die for! We drooled over her Instagram and hoped that we’d get something even half as good as other couple/family photo sessions! We were not disappointed – the shots we got back were insanely good!

The Dogwood Collective!

ed to find someone that could see my vision and help me bring it to life, and boy did I with Kristi from The DogWood Collective. She took our crazy group of friends and family and turned it into some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever had taken. She captured everything and more then we could of even asked for. She really knows her stuff and how to bring out the best side of everyone. She’s truly an amazing photographer and person. From her personality to her huge heart, that wants and needs to make your day just perfect. We never dreamed we’d have such amazing photos, even today I go back a look (almost daily lol) and they take me back like it was yesterday. The quality will last a lifetime and we are so thankful this beautiful soul of a photographer is now a life long friend. Side Note: We also took her with us on the first day of our honeymoon so we could get all dressed up in our wedding attire again for some scenic shots in Flagstaff and Sedona AZ. So we are so grateful for her and her vision, if not for her and her amazing talent we wouldn’t have some of the most gorgeous photos to look back on when we are old and wrinkly lol. The DogWood Collective is definitely our photographer for every special moment in our life now. Thank you Kristi, Words really can not describe how thankful we are to have these photos and you in our lives.

eciding which pictures to get printed, we've realized just how much insane effort Kristi put into photographing our big day. We love Kristi and her work!

ing her to any of my friends or family. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure them for many years to come. It’s hard to come across people who are experts in their field, but at the same time also make you feel like a friend. She’s kind and understanding and knows how to make you feel beautiful. Book now or forever hold your peace!

he had great locations picked out to take photos, which was great since I was not from the area! My photos turned out so great! They were better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend the dogwood collective if you want super authentic original photos of you and your loved one 😊

ttention to detail was incredible, and her patience throughout our hectic set up was appreciated. She went above and beyond for us, and it shows in her work. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. If you need a photographer, look no further

100% would recommend!

th a professional photographer before and she made me feel totally comfortable during my bridal portraits, like I was taking pictures with a friend. She made me feel beautiful. I still hear comments from my bridal party about how great she was, and I see people go wide-eyed when I show them photos of our big day. She is a true professional and very flexible. I was sitting in the makeup chair at the salon when the location for the bridal portraits fell through and she took care of everything. She found a place that was more beautiful than I could've imagined. When I told her my 'must' photo on the wedding day was in a canoe at the venue, she responded with "no problem, I'll make sure to wear shorts so I can get in the water." She was very organized and stepped in when our timeline wasn't going as planned. If you are looking for a true artist, you won't go wrong with Kristi at The Dogwood Collective.

cting the minimal, neutral style of our wedding in the photos. I also really enjoyed how she didn't try to take photos of every single second, at times she was also a wedding guest, which put me at ease.(no one wants to worry if they look cute while eating their dinner!) Yet she was also able to sneak in and capture fun moments, like me applying a temporary tattoo to my husband's neck, and still provided a couple options for each key shot. A really talented photographer, way more than some amateur with a camera and photoshop.

posing for photos, but Kristi made us feel so comfortable. She even let us bring our dogs to the engagement shoot. I appreciated her quick responses to any of my questions or concerns along the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with and produces beautiful photos!

e struck a great balance between being present but not too invasive. Highly recommend!

hots. She even had the idea to shoot in front of the place we met which will always be a special photo for us! Not to mention, she was excellent with my 4 year old daughter, making her giggle and laugh to get that great photo. She has a God given eye you won’t believe!

led photos than what we got on our actual wedding day. We met at Devil's Den (yes, in my wedding dress) and took off hiking. The photos were BEAUTIFUL & we had so much fun! I can not recommend her enough to document any and all of your big moments!
