“Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our date and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it!
She made the engagement photo session so easy to laugh in and get to know her and the location she picked was amazing. We're both awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us!
As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses.
We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless.
On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter kept everyone calm and were so gracious even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) My getting ready photos/first look with my family are some that I'll treasure as some of my favorites because of the emotion captured. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing having to play catch up. Our private couple's session was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such grace that it wasn't noticed by our guests.
The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked that we got them the next day! They were so special and made us even more eager to see them all. All that said, I can't recommend Kristin enough!”
