your experience with kristen
I’m Kristen and my mission is simple: To capture the fleeting moments of your wedding day in a way that feels honest, yet artful.
“She was a pleasure to work with, super helpful, flexible and attentive."

what to expect
Your wedding is not just any event.
It is an experience that encapsulates your past, present and future and is the essence of your love.
As your photographer, I vow to put your experience above all else to ensure your wedding day is your best day ever.
Storytelling
These precious one-of-a-kind moments have inspired me to approach wedding days more naturally, allowing moments to happen as they are, while giving direction and focusing on composition when needed. A special look from your loved one doesn’t always happen in perfect light and I believe more in impactful photos than staged moments. Your experience matters above all else and I’m here to tell your story honestly.
Customization
From our first phone call, through to your wedding day I will be getting to know you and preparing for your wedding day with a customized approach based on what matters most to you. My goal is that the entire experience feels effortless and I'll ensure you feel at ease while I’m documenting your love story.
An Effortless Experience
Your experience is my highest priority, so I only take on a select number of weddings and sessions each year to ensure each client receives the utmost attention and dedication. With a commitment to excellence, I invest not only my skills but also my heart and soul into every couple I work with.
Throughout our journey together, you can expect personalized resources, unwavering support, and meticulous attention to detail at every step. Your investment extends beyond photography – it is a collaborative experience where your vision is met with the highest level of professionalism and care.
my approach
Artistic Guidance
I want you to be present so I can document you and your loved ones authentically, but I’ll also take the time to create beautiful and artistic photos for you to swoon over too.
I will work effortlessly to make sure you are photographed in the best natural light whenever possible. I will work hand in hand with your planner, and prefer building a timeline together to ensure the best light is available and there is appropriate time to capture everything that matters to you, while still leaving you time to be present.
I’ve learned the best photos don’t always come from curated moments, but in-between the expected and typical wedding moments.

"Impeccable and Priceless Work!! We display her pictures like art work around our house!"
Kristen’s approach and attention to detail goes beyond what a simple 5 star review can capture. It would be an understatement if I told you she is the best. Not only is she professional, and takes every detail into consideration, but she does it with a passion that shows with every picture. She is incredible, and honestly, you cannot put a price to her work. She is on our speed dial for whenever we need professional pictures for our family. And, we have recommended her to all our friends and family.

"From the initial steps of reaching out to her, to our engagement session, to our wedding, we were so pleased with our decision to hire her."
I can remember feeling so anxious the day of our wedding about everything working out in terms of timelines, etc. Kristen honestly made me feel so at ease. She was so flexible the day of, assured me we would get all of the shots we had wanted, and she truly delivered. Our photos turned out so well, and we have gotten SO MANY compliments on them. We couldn't be happier!”

We absolutely LOVED working with Kristen. A Wedding photographer was by far the most important vendor for us to hire. We wanted to make sure that we chose someone who would capture the day we spent so long preparing for, the special moments, our loved ones and the overall vibe of the day. Kristen was perfect. Leading up to the wedding, Kristen answered every email and call with clear, friendly and reassuring responses which added calm to my frenzied wedding planning adventure. On the big day I was thrilled with how personable, knowledgeable, calm and professional she was. The images we received blew me away. The photos and moments that she captured were absolutely beautiful. In editing, her style was exactly what we wanted - a warm and cozy vibe. We feel truly grateful that Kristen photographed our wedding day - thanks again for all your hard work!

Questions? I got you!
Once we’ve determined which collection is best for you and have confirmed your date I will prepare a photography contract for your review. I ask that you sign and return it within 7 days so I can ensure your date is available. I require a 50% non-refundable retainer to block out your date in my schedule. Once both the retainer and contract are received, it’s official, you’re booked! Your final payment is due 30 days before your wedding date.
All of my collections include travel fees. This includes local weddings as well as destination weddings. I provide custom proposals for each and every client because I believe that each celebration is unique, and so should the collection be that you choose. This way you get exactly what you want, and nothing that you don’t.
Unfortunately no. Regardless if your wedding is in off season, on a Sunday, Thursday or Friday, the same amount of effort goes into planning, preparing, shooting and editing your wedding. I need all the same equipment, and offering discounts isn’t fair to those who have booked me at full rates. The only exception may be if you’re travelling to one of my bucket list locations.
This is an amazing opportunity for us to meet, get more comfortable with one another, and create lasting memories for the two of you. It’s an opportunity for me to see what works best for you two, and what doesn’t and to find the magic that makes you two look your absolute best. All of my collections are custom designed for you, so if it’s not something you’re interested in just let me know.
I do not offer videography, but if you decide to work with me I am more than happy to give you recommendations for my favourite vendors. I have a list of preferred vendors for Kristen Elizabeth couples.
Your experience is of utmost importance to me, which is why I want to get your photos back as quickly as possible to you. However, I will never compromise quality and I give great attention to detail with each and every photo. Engagement and couples sessions are returned in 3-4 weeks, and the longest wait time you can expect for your wedding is 10-12 weeks.
I don’t have a minimum or maximum when it comes to the number of photos you receive. I believe every good photo belongs to you so I will not hold any back. A good rule of thumb is roughly 50 photos per hour of coverage, but this can vary. Factors to consider are the hours of coverage, size of the wedding, size of your family, whether or not you have a wedding party, if you have lots of details vs. very minimal. I believe in quality over quantity so I prefer to deliver you the best of the best instead of a bunch of duplicates and fillers.
I offer both, but I am currently mainly shooting digital. Film can be added on to your wedding collection if this is something that’s calling you. I shoot on 35mm film, and both film and digital images are processed and presented cohesively.
Always inspired by culture, beautiful landscapes and old world charm
My love for travelling is what provoked me to ever pick up a camera. I have visited over 21 countries across 6 continents and I don’t have plans of stopping. My daughter Olivia is my biggest inspiration and motivation in everything I do, and my husband Alex is my biggest supporter. My love for food has me spending a lot of time creating in the kitchen preparing tasty food and aesthetically pleasing dishes. My Italian descent makes me a natural in the kitchen.
