    Why have a wedding day coordinator, when you can have Kristy??? I hired Kristy knowing the work would be phenomenal, but did not know how she ran the show! I had a day of coordinator who was also my florist. Girl, was no where to be found when I needed her and asked me too many question day of that I repeated told her to ask my made of honor. When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T! She made friends with the other vendors, kept everyone on a schedule, and helped me feel utterly calm on a stressful day. HIRE. KRISTY. Her quality is great, delivery is timely, and she knows the workings of your day no matter how simple to complex your wedding day is.

    Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with our amazing wedding photographer, Kristy Velesko! From start to finish, Kristy displayed exceptional communication skills, ensuring that every detail was perfectly planned, and answering all my emails and questions so promptly. Her energy and friendliness were contagious, making everyone feel at ease and adding a special spark to our day. Everyone in my wedding party loved working with Kristy! Kristy's vast knowledge about weddings was invaluable. She anticipated our needs and had creative solutions for everything (like how do I go to the ladies room in a HUGE ballgown - she knew!). Her artistic talent truly sets her apart; she photoshopped a stunning castle into our wedding photos, making our fairytale dreams come true! Not all photographers have this additional skill set! One of the standout moments was Kristy's ability to be the “bad guy” for us, especially when managing the bridal party. She expertly directed the groomsmen, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. Especially when my groom gave them all lightsabers as gifts, you can assume the craziness that ensued! But everyone loved her even if she had to be bossy with them! A highlight was how impressed Disney’s Fairytale Weddings team was with her work. They couldn’t stop raving about her professionalism and the vibrant, beautiful photos she captured. Kristy truly has a gift for photography, and we are beyond grateful for the magical memories she created for us. We have since asked her to do family portraits and since I had 3 wedding gowns (Yes, 3!) - we had her do more portraits. They were all so gorgeous! Haven’t had a bad photo and I love how she knows exactly the directions to give us to get the best photos! Highly recommend her for any special occasion!

  • Amazing communication and amazing work

    Kristy is definitely one of the best! If you want an experience catered to you, Kristy is your girl. From the very start, Kristy was attentive to everything we were wanting and during the day of when stress got the best of me, Kristy made decisions she knew we’d want. She was able to capture our elopement and reception just the way we wanted.

  • Couldn't recommend highly enough!

    We couldn't be happier with the incredible work of Kristy Velesko Photography for our engagement and wedding shoots! From start to finish, she exceeded our expectations and captured every precious moment beautifully. From our first meeting, Kristy made us feel comfortable and listened to our vision. She had an amazing eye for detail, and the creativity she brought to each shot was simply outstanding. During the engagement shoot, Kristy chose stunning locations and made the whole experience fun and relaxed, resulting in photos that truly reflect our personalities and love for each other. On our wedding day, Kristy was a calming presence amidst the hustle and bustle. She captured every emotion, every laugh, and every tear with such skill and artistry. The candid shots are some of our favorites, as they genuinely convey the joy and excitement of the day. The posed photos are equally breathtaking, and she managed to capture the essence of our relationship perfectly. The final images are nothing short of spectacular. The quality, color, and composition of each photo are top-notch. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully, and we know we will cherish these photos for a lifetime. Thank you, Kristy, for your professionalism, talent, and dedication to your craft. You made our special moments even more magical, and we highly recommend you to anyone in need of a photographer who goes above and beyond.
