let's be real.
You invited every single person for a reason.
Your guest list isn't long, and that's on purpose. These are the people who knew you before you met each other, the ones who got on a plane to be there, and the ones you can't imagine the day without.
So when you think about your wedding, you're not picturing yourselves off in a vineyard or field for an hour. You're picturing the toasts, the hugs, the moment your dad sees you for the first time.
That's what I plan around. Your portraits fit into the day instead of taking it over, so you can spend it with the people you chose.
So let's build a day with room for both.
"I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed on my wedding day—but Kristen made that happen.."
“I honestly didn’t expect to feel so relaxed on my wedding day—but Kristen made that happen. She kept everything flowing, gave us the direction we needed, and somehow made the entire experience fun.
Our photos feel effortless and real, like we were actually in the moment, not just posing through it. We got to laugh, breathe, and actually enjoy our day while knowing everything was being captured.
I would choose her again a hundred times over.”
Samantha & Jordan
Most wedding photography coverage is built around hours, not your priorities.
Here's how it usually works. You pick a package with a set number of hours, send over a shot list, and hope it all fits.
On the day, portraits get squeezed in wherever there's room, usually during cocktail hour. So while your guests are mingling and celebrating, you're off on your own. The friends who flew across the country get a quick wave on your way to dinner. By the time you sit down, the night is half over.
And you might not notice until weeks later, scrolling through your gallery, when you realize there's no photo of you with your grandma.
the usual way.
I plan your portraits around your people, not the other way around.
"Thank you for making our day so easy."
"Kristen, you made our day feel effortless, handling every detail smoothly and truly prioritized what mattered most to us. Thank you for making our day so easy. The photos are beyond our wildest dreams, capturing the emotions of our families and details of our wedding just as we envisioned. We love every image and have received countless compliments from friends and family about how amazing you are. We are so glad we found you!!"

Hello, I'm Kristen
Years behind the camera
Weddings photographed
Venues nationwide
I've been where you are, and I know what it takes to make your day feel easy.
On my own wedding day, my photographer never showed up. Everything felt rushed, things ran late, and somewhere in the chaos I lost my bouquet. I don't have a single professional photo from that day.
I don't want any couple to feel that way. It's the reason I picked up a camera, and it shapes how I work now. I want your day to feel calm, I want you to spend it with the people you invited, and I want you to come home with photos of all of it.
Since then, I've learned what keeps a wedding day on track and what throws it off. I know how to work with the timeline, the light and a room full of family, so you don't have to think about any of it.
You work with me, start to finish. The person you plan with is the person who shows up on your wedding day.
The little things, handled. Getting-ready spaces with good light, the right spot in the hair and makeup line, even how to tie a bowtie. I'll prep you for all of it.
You'll be taken care of. With almost two decades in customer service, you'll always get clear answers and quick replies.

"There are really no words to describe how amazing Kristen was on our wedding day!"
"From the start, Kristen was more than just our photographer—she was an incredible guide throughout the entire process. She knew exactly what we needed, sometimes before we even realized it ourselves, and helped everything run so smoothly. We never had to worry about a thing."

The KCP Wedding Experience
No stress. No rushing. Just room to enjoy it all.
Wedding days don't always run on time, and when things fall behind, the reception usually pays for it. That's why I include 9 hours instead of the standard 8, so you still get the toasts, the dance floor and the unhinged moments you'd never want to miss.
A pre-wedding session
Timeline guidance
A second photographer
Your full gallery
Everything you need to enjoy your day, and relive it later.
Full day coverage
Comfortable in front of the camera. Comfortable with me behind it.
Choose a full engagement session or a quick portrait break at your welcome party. We'll laugh and find your natural rhythm, so by the wedding day, posing feels like second nature.
A day that flows, with room to enjoy it.
I work with you and your planner to carve out time for portraits without pulling you away from your guests. We'll cover the essentials early and leave space for the moments you can't plan for.
Two perspectives, so nothing gets missed.
While I'm with one of you, your second photographer is with the other. They capture both getting-ready rooms, a second angle at the ceremony, your guests at cocktail hour while we're off doing portraits, candids from the dance floor, and the untouched ceremony and reception spaces before anyone walks in.
- Sneak peeks fast, and your full gallery as soon as it's ready
- Easy to share with family, or relive with a glass of wine
- Full printing rights and access to a professional lab
- Backed up for 5 years, even if you lose your phone (or your mind during a move)
- A complimentary album design whenever you're ready
You're not just hiring someone to take photos. You're trusting someone with the people and moments that matter most.

"She made my camera shy husband feel comfortable...."
Kristen somehow managed to capture every important moment without ever making us feel like we were ‘posing.’ She gave just enough direction to make us feel comfortable, but also let us be ourselves, which made our photos feel so natural and full of emotion.

faqs
We're planning from out of state. Can you still help?
Yes. Many of my couples plan from a distance. We'll do everything by call and email, and I'll help you think through light, timing and your venue so nothing catches you off guard.
Can you get photos of us with everyone who matters?
Yes. Before your wedding, we'll put together your family photo list and your VIP list. VIPs are the people who may not be in family formals but matter just as much, like your college roommate or the friend who introduced you.
We're awkward on camera. Can you help us look natural?
Yes. Most couples tell me this, and it's exactly what your pre-wedding session is for. I'll guide you the whole time, so you're never wondering what to do with your hands.
Will you work with our planner and other vendors?
Yes. I coordinate with your planner on the timeline and stay in touch with your team, so the day runs smoothly for everyone.
Do you photograph outside Napa and the Bay Area?
Yes. I've photographed at 150+ venues nationwide and love traveling for weddings.
Can we talk before we decide?
Yes, and I'd love that. Send me a quick note, and we'll set up a relaxed call. There's no pressure to book.
You want images that feel timeless and true to who you are—not just trendy, but you.

You’re dreaming of a gallery that helps you and your people relive the day.
You’re looking for someone who can keep things on track with grace, knows when to give direction, and when to step back and let the moment happen.
Still not sure if I'm the right photographer for you? Let's see...
"So thankful we chose you to be part of our day."
"Where do I even begin? Thank you SO much for the amount of love and light you shared with us on our wedding day. I’m truly grateful for all that you did during the planning process, but so thankful we chose you to be part of our day. Our guests are still talking about your professionalism, and how much fun you made the entire experience."
