Welcome

HEY!

I’m Kristen.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Kitchener, ON and I’m passionate about authentic love, real, raw moments and capturing life as we know it. I love those funky, fun lovers who want to showcase who they are on camera and step outside the traditional photo box. My services extend beyond weddings, including elopement + boudoir, as well as maternity, newborn, branding + family photography.

Infinitely yours.
Everyday,

In this life,
And in every life.
I choose you.

Do you care about details? Every wedding day is

Do you care about details?

Every wedding day is filled with so many details. A million details that happen behind the scenes that no one ever sees, and then the ones that are visible, like the flowers, the dress, the decor.

While these details are more important to some than others, it’s important to focus on the details that mean something to YOU.

Maybe the food is your big important detail you want to stand out from your day because your a foodie. Maybe it’s the musician. Maybe the dress. Or maybe none of the physical stuff matters to you at all.

Whatever the case, I encourage you to focus on what matters to you so that when your day is over, the things that matter to YOU stood out on your day.

And in speaking to details, can we all show some appreciation for Renata’s absolutely phenomenal wedding dress?! I will always be a sucker for the wedding dress. Anyone else with me?

Finally getting around to sharing some of my favourite images of Isabel + Kyle from our dreamy styled shoot in August.

This shoot was months of planning + coordination with so many fantastic vendors.

Styled shoots are such a fun way to scratch that creative itch and create some content that makes your heart scream. It’s also a great way to collaborate within the wedding community and get to know the faces of vendors you may not normally meet in person.

Thank you to such an amazing team of vendors for coming together for this one. 🤍✌️

Most important love Like it’s the only thing you

Most important love
Like it’s the only thing you know how
At the end of the day all this
Means nothing
This page
Where you’re sitting
Your job
The money
Nothing even matters
Except love and human connection
Who you loved
And how deeply you loved them
How you touched the people around you
And how much you gave them

-Rupi Kaur

Does the thought of planning a large wedding just

Does the thought of planning a large wedding just give you the willies?

Are you overwhelmed by all the things that don’t seem to suit you like a fancy venue, a timeline full of moments you don’t care for, the spotlight in front of a bunch of guests your parents thought should come?

If you’ve answered YES to any of those questions, maybe you should consider an intimate, small wedding or elopement. Kat + Alex did just that and got married THEIR way.

Elopements have long been thought of as the couple running away to a foreign place or getting married secretly. While those are some ways that people elope, it’s actually not what it’s all about.

Elopements are quickly becoming a top choice for couples. Why? Because they are intentional weddings. Elopements focus on the couple, their values, and everything that’s aligned with them. They range from just the couple, to the couple including their most loved family and friends who they feel comfortable expressing themselves in front of. They give couples the opportunity to share vows they may never have shared in front a huge crowd. They give them the freedom to make choices that make THEM happy instead of the crowd. Most importantly, couples are able to enjoy the WHOLE day living all the moments they truly want on their day. There isn’t moments of the day they have to dread, or get through quickly. There isn’t anyone constantly reminding them they have a few more minutes before the next planned portion of the day.

If you’ve been feeling like all the planning just isn’t you, maybe it’s time to consider eloping.

If you want to know more about how you can make your dream day a reality, shoot me a message, I’d love to empower you to make that choice!

If you’re still reading, can you tell me your favourite from these shots? Number 1 is my favourite, but they are also ALL MY FAVOURITE - photographer problems.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I LOVE fall and welcome it with open arms, I just wish we had fall until spring and could skip over winter.

A few sneak peeks from Tracey + Milos’s small and intimate August wedding. We snuck away for some off site photos, and these are some of my favs!

Can’t wait to share more from their beautiful day.

This is one of my all time fav “poses” for big

This is one of my all time fav “poses” for bigger wedding party photos. It’s always fun, it always turns out well and I think it looks so much nicer than a straight line on either side. To be totally honest, we have one from our wedding day just like it (thanks @lilryphotography 🤍) and I loved it so much I blew it up big for our home. I just love how it displays everyone’s personalities better.

Swipe to see the first try 🤪, where Scott missed the memo to kiss Jordanna!

One of my favourite ways to find beautiful sunsets

One of my favourite ways to find beautiful sunsets is to literally chase them with you.

I’ve done this so many times with my clients and they always end up being the prettiest.

We usually pick a location to meet and snap a few shots, followed by hopping in our cars and driving until we find the spot. I know the idea of not planning scares most people when they are investing in a photoshoot, but I promise being spontaneous will leave you with such a fun experience and make your photos that much more memorable.

I can’t wait to chase more sunsets with my couples. If you’re thinking you want some sunset photos before summer ends, shoot me a message, I’d love to chat more about making that happen for you.

I have a select few August and September dates left. ✨

You’re my favorite,” he said offhand. “Favorite what?” she wondered aloud. “Oh, well,” he stammered. “Well, just that. My favorite pair of eyes to look into. My favorite name to see appear on my phone. My favorite way to spend an afternoon. Fill in the blank, Beautiful…I left it at favorite for a reason.” “You’re my favorite too,” she whispered."

“Somebody who betters you. Somebody who inspir

“Somebody who betters you. Somebody
who inspires and encourages you in love
and in life, who pushes you towards
dreams and goals you’d otherwise ignore,
who selflessly sacrifices their time to
helping you become a more courageous,
well rounded and happy human being.
That’s sacred. You hold on to a love like that.”
-Beau Taplin

Anyone else feeling inspired to turn up the heat during couples sessions lately? If you answered no, you clearly haven’t watched Sex Life on Netflix.

Taking the time to plan photos that truly mean som

Taking the time to plan photos that truly mean something to you will make your photos so much more memorable some day when you look back on them.

Sara wanted to take family photos with their 7 month old at the farm where her horse Gerry has boarded for a long time. Jerry was making the move to a new farm, so we wanted to create a lasting memory before he did. It was so special, because last year we were able to do Sara and Alex’s maternity photos there as well.

Sometimes it’s a location, or maybe it’s a hobby or interest, but personalizing your photos can add so much sentimental value to them.

If you have a session coming up, let’s talk about how we can make yours a just a little more special. 🤍

You know when you have this nice long caption written that you put some deep thought into, and then you’re phone dies as your ready to post?? I love when that happens. So here’s a fun bridal party shot to change it up, that’s all she wrote.✌️
