Being Stressed On Your Wedding Day Totally Sucks!
This is most likely your first time planning a wedding. If you've been part of the wedding party, you may have a small glimpse of just how off schedule things can get, especially if there's not a lot of organization. Getting ready, portraits, family formals, wedding party, what's supposed to be next? It's a lot...
So what if you didn't have to stress out? What if you walked away after your wedding relieved at how easy, organized, and fun the day was?

"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!!"
Lauren & Aaron
"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."
Brin'na & Drew
"She made my camera shy husband feel comfortable...."
We had the pleasure of working with Kristen for our wedding. She was able to make my camera shy husband feel comfortable, which is not easy to do. Kristen took great care of not only us, but also my 82 yr old grandmother during the family formals so that we could get her out of the heat. Our families are still talking about how kind and compassionate she is. The pictures are amazing, but I'll never forget how well she took care of my family. Kristen is the best wedding photographer in Honolulu and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Ally + Eric
"There are really no words to describe how amazing Kristen was on our wedding day!"
She ALWAYS made herself available during the planning process and LISTENS to what you want and does everything to make it happen! My only regret is that I can't keep her with me 24/7. By far one of the best wedding photographers in Napa!

"We appreciate how you made us feel comfortable throughout the day."
It was such a pleasure working with you. We appreciate how you made us feel comfortable throughout the day. We haven't even had a chance to look through the entire collection yet, but we already love them. Thank you again!

Book Your Consultation
Not everyone is the right fit for my bubbly personality and dirty sense of humor, and that's okay. After all, you'll spend more time with me on the wedding day, than with your future spouse. Ensuring our personalities align is a vital part of your wedding photography experience and shouldn't be taken lightly. This consultation will help you know without a doubt, whether or not I'm the right photographer to document your wedding day.
