Get to Know Kristen
"Kristen captured the wedding photos of our dreams."
You've spent months planning for this day-
you deserve to enjoy every second of it.
You’ve done enough already.
You’ve handled the logistics, answered all the texts, and probably coordinated more outfits than you ever wanted to.
This day? You should actually get to be in it.
Not worrying about your timeline.
Not wondering if I got the shot.
Not thinking about your hands (I've got you 😉).
Your job? Laugh. Ugly cry. Whisper something inappropriate during the first look.
Dance with, and hug, your dad a little longer than usual.
I’ll handle the rest—and make sure you have the kind of photos that bring it all back. Not just how it looked, but how it felt to be completely there.
"Kristen beautifully captured our Napa wedding. There are really no words to describe how amazing she is. When I first met her, there was immediate trust that she would do everything to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. My husband is one of the hardest people to get to let loose, yet she was able to get him hysterically laughing during our engagement shoot. Guests at our wedding still compliment how wonderful she is! She truly made everyone feel so loved and impressed us all. If Kristen is there for you on your wedding day, you will no doubt have both photographed and in-person memories to cherish for a lifetime!"

“Our pictures from KCP are beautiful and exceeded our expectations. She truly listened to what mattered most to us and brought our vision to life, and for that, we can't thank her enough."
Beth & Vincent
"We found Kristen on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. Kristen made us feel at peace with our decision to hire her. She was transparent about pricing, the contract process was easy, and she kept in touch throughout the planning process. By the time our wedding arrived, we felt like we already knew her! She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy to our day. Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Seeing our sneak peek photos on our honeymoon was the biggest gift—we couldn’t stop looking at them in our hotel room!"
Erica & Cody
“Kristen takes the kind of pictures that truly feel personal, timeless, and elegant...we are going to treasure these forever! Our experience with her was so easy & fun from start to finish. Easily the best investment we made.”
Febe & Shige
"Kristen was an absolute joy to work with! From the very first message, she was personal, quick to respond, and made everything so easy—which was exactly what we were looking for. On the day of our session, she had us laughing nonstop and even got my fiancé (who normally isn’t into photos) to totally relax and enjoy the moment. Then, as if the experience wasn’t amazing enough, she sent us sneak peeks the next morning! We were blown away, and our families are raving about them. We seriously cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day!"
