About your Napa wedding photographer
I'm Kristen, your Napa wedding photographer. I believe the greatest gift you can give yourself is a wedding gallery that feels as classic and beautiful decades from now as it does today. Your wedding should feel natural, seamless, and deeply personal—free from distractions, stress, or fleeting trends that won’t stand the test of time. And because I know that figuring out what to do with your hands shouldn’t be on your list of wedding-day worries, I take a thoughtful approach to photography—guiding when needed, stepping back when the moment needs to unfold naturally, and keeping things as easy as possible.
The happy tears. The deep-belly laughter. The way your partner looked at you like you were the only person in the room. These are the moments you never want to forget. Because long after the flowers have wilted and the music has faded, these images will be what bring your wedding back to life—preserving the love, the energy, and the emotions that made it yours.
Get to Know Kristen
hi there!
Your marriage isn’t a trend, and your photos shouldn’t be either. You deserve images that will stand the test of time.
"Kristen captured the wedding photos of our dreams."
You've spent months planning for this day-
you Should enjoy every second of it.
Your wedding day isn’t a performance—it’s a celebration. And the last thing you should be doing? Worrying about where to stand, how to pose, or if every detail is being captured. That’s my job.
Your only job? Soaking it all in. The laughter, the spontaneous dance floor moments, the happy tears from family, and that deep, unshakable feeling of this is it.
Because when the day is over, these images won’t just remind you of how everything looked—they’ll bring you back to exactly how it felt.
from past clients:
"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!"

from past clients:
“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
from past clients:
"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
from past clients:
“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
from past clients:
"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!"

Your wedding should be
Effortless and Unforgettable
Your wedding day should feel natural, fun, and completely yours—without stiff poses, forced smiles, or wondering what to do next. That’s why I take the time to understand what matters most to you long before the big day, so when it arrives, you can sip champagne, crack jokes, and fully enjoy every moment, knowing I’ve got the details covered. With a mix of expert guidance and quick thinking, I keep things moving smoothly—so all you have to do is have the best time ever (and maybe try to keep up with Grandma on the dance floor)
