about ME

I'm Kristen, your bay area wedding photographer

I never planned to be a photographer.
I thought I’d become a teacher, nurse, or child advocate lawyer. Something that let me help people in a meaningful way. But everything changed the day my own wedding photographer didn’t show up. That moment was devastating. Not just for us, but for our families who never got the chance to relive those memories with us.
Looking back, I realize just how much those images would have meant. Not just in the excitement of the day, but years later, when they became part of our family’s history. That experience became my turning point.
I threw myself into learning everything I could. I invested in education, trained under photographers I admired, and officially re-launched KCP in 2020—because no couple should ever have to wonder whether their wedding memories will exist.

Sentimental and sassy, golden hour obsessed, and forever drawn to things that sparkle.

To make your wedding day feel effortless, so you can actually be in it—not just pose through it.
I’ve seen how rushed and overwhelming weddings can feel. I never want that for my couples. So I plan ahead. I work closely with planners. I build timelines that allow for relaxed portraits and time to enjoy your guests.
And when things go off-script? I adjust quietly and seamlessly, so you don’t have to think about a thing.
I’m not a wedding planner, but I am a problem-solver. And my job goes way beyond the camera.
Because these photos aren’t just for now. They’re for decades from now—when they’ll mean even more than you can imagine.
