For couples searching for a Napa wedding photographer who want a calm, intentional wedding day…
Protected. Present.
Unrushed. Effortless.
When the timeline flows,
when you feel taken care of,
and the whirlwind slows long enough for you to fully enjoy it…
that’s when the real magic shows up in your photos.
Because beautiful imagery starts with a day that feels calm, supported, and truly yours.
A couple said this to me recently, and I remember thinking:
Of course you don’t.
You’ve planned every detail with intention, you should actually get to experience it.
“We just don’t want the day to feel chaotic.”
I'm here to help you guide the rhythm of your day, and ensure it unfolds in a way that lets you be present for every part of it.
A calm, steady day comes from intention, preparation, and having a photographer who supports the natural flow of the day instead of adding to the chaos.
That’s why everything I do—your timeline, your portrait flow, the way I guide, the way I anticipate—exists to keep you relaxed and be in the moment.
They say time flies when you’re having fun, and it’s true… especially on a wedding day. But there is a way to slow things down so you can actually experience your own wedding instead of rushing through it.
So, what if your wedding day was planned at a pace you can actually enjoy?
The result is portraits that feel flattering and genuinely you.
This is one of the most common fears couples share.
Even the confident ones.
You want portraits that feel like you.
Not stiff.
Not uncomfortable.
Not something you look back on and regret.
This is why the time we spend together before the wedding matters.
By the time your day arrives, you already feel comfortable with me and in front of the camera.
You’ll never be left guessing what to do.
I give you simple, easy direction that helps you relax and enjoy the process.
We start with the must-have portraits, then ease into the more creative ones as the day allows.
"We’re so awkward in pictures… what if we don’t love our portraits?"
I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

Casey & Michael
"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!"
Beth & Vincent
“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."
Erica & Cody
"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 all throughout planning. 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 and we couldn’t stop looking at them in our hotel room!"
kristine & Howie
“Kristen gave us the kind of pictures that truly felt 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.”
Ellie & Matthew
"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!"
