ease, beauty, & intention
YOU DESERVE TO RELIVE EVERY MOMENT WITH
Packages begin at $4,800, with the average couple investing $6,900 in their wedding photography.
The KCP Wedding Experience that captures your most meaningful moments, so that you can relive the joy, connection, and laughter of your wedding day whenever you want to travel back in time.
So what if when you look back, you don’t just see your wedding day… you feel it?
Not the kind that comes from rain or a stuck zipper, but the mental checklist kind.
Are we behind schedule?
Did someone grab the rings?
Am I doing this pose right?
It’s the kind of stress that pulls you out of the moment...
and before you know it, the whole day’s a blur.
That’s why I do things differently.
I guide. I prep. I pay attention to what matters...so you can actually live your day.
Not just look back on pretty photos... but remember how it felt to be there.
Because here’s the truth, beautiful images are only part of the story.
Stress can totally ruin your wedding day.
let's be real.
Expert Wedding Photography that focuses on
After photographing weddings for over a decade, I’ve learned that the best photos don’t come from cramming in a checklist. They come from being able to be present with the people you love most.
That’s why my approach is equal parts thoughtful guidance and calm flexibility.
Because yes, you want timeless portraits of the two of you...but you also want to laugh with your friends at cocktail hour.
Let me tell you a secret...you *can* have both.
Together with your planner, we’ll build a timeline that gives you room to breathe.
We’ll handle most of the family photos before the ceremony,
get those must-have portraits done without rushing, and carve out golden hour magic... when the light is soft and the day feels slower.
My couples value the experience just as much as the images.
They want portraits that feel natural and meaningful, without missing time with their guests.
That’s exactly why we build the timeline to give you both.
Lauren & Aaron
"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!!"
"Thank you for making our day so easy."
And I’m not the only one who believes wedding photos should feel like that…
Not just a snapshot of how it looked... but a vivid reminder of how it felt.
The excitement as you step into your dress.
The shift in your partner’s face when they see you for the first time.
The laughter, the tight squeezes, the happy tears you didn’t expect.
That’s the kind of imagery I create. A blend of thoughtful direction and honest, unscripted storytelling.
Because years from now, I don’t want you to just see your wedding day. I want you to hear the laughter, feel the warmth, and relive every second that mattered.
Your Wedding Photos Should Feel Like Traveling Through Time.
Felisa + lee
"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."
"There are really no words to describe how amazing Kristen was on our wedding day!"
Ally + Eric
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.
"She made my camera shy husband feel comfortable...."
Sneak peeks fast. The full story, forever.

Am I the Right
For You?
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 breathe.
You’re dreaming of a gallery that helps you and your people relive the day, not just remember it.
You value a process that feels effortless, so you can be present without needing to micromanage.
You want a photographer who’s more than a vendor—someone who listens, cares, and genuinely wants what you want.
You want images that feel timeless and true to who you are—not just trendy, but you.
Brin'na & Drew
"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."
"So thankful we chose you to be part of our day."
average investment $6,900
Because you’re not just hiring someone to take photos.
You’re trusting someone to protect what matters most to you.
Here’s how I do that. with thoughtful coverage, intentional planning, and space to soak it all in.
You’ll receive a beautifully curated online gallery with every edited image, ready to download, share, and print whenever the mood strikes.
- No delays: Sneak peeks fast. Full gallery delivered as soon as it’s ready.
- Easy to share: Send the link to family, friends, or relive it on your own with a glass of wine and no distractions.
- Print anytime: You’ll have full printing rights and access to a professional lab, so your memories don’t just live on a screen.
- Backed up for 5 years: So even if you lose your phone—or your mind during a move—you’re covered.
And when you're ready to take your memories off the screen, we can talk about custom album options.
A well-built timeline doesn’t just keep the day on track—it protects the moments that matter most.
I’ll work closely with you and your planner to build a flow that feels good. That means carving out time for portraits and giving you space to actually enjoy your day. No rush, no chaos, no wondering what’s next.
We’ll front-load the essentials, build in breathing room, and leave space for those little moments you can’t plan for, but never want to forget.
Think of this as your warm-up before the big day.
Whether it’s a full engagement session at two locations or a quick 30-minute portrait break during your welcome party, this time together isn’t just about the photos—it’s about getting comfortable.
Comfortable in front of the camera. Comfortable with me behind it.
We’ll laugh, find your natural rhythm, and by the time the wedding arrives, posing will feel second nature. No stiff smiles, no guessing what to do—just real connection and effortless portraits that reflect it.

Welcome party coverage
Wedding days don’t always run perfectly on time—and when things get behind, the reception usually takes the hit. That’s why I include 9 hours instead of the standard 8. It gives you space to breathe, soak in every part of your day, and still have time for the dance floor, champagne toasts, and those unhinged reception moments you never want to miss. No stress. No rushing. Just room to enjoy it all.
The KCP Wedding Experience
The KCP Experience begins at $5,800, with the average couple investing $6,900 in their wedding photography.
Katie & Vinny
"Hiring KCP was the best investment we made for our day..."
Inquire
That’s what I’m here for.
From your first inquiry to your final album delivery, everything is built around what matters most to you—so the entire experience feels organized, effortless, and truly yours.
Most couples choose a collection with 9 hours of coverage, a second photographer, and a complimentary engagement session to get comfortable in front of the camera (and sneak in some fun, too).
The result?
A wedding day that flows smoothly.
A gallery that feels like time travel.
And a photographer who’s all in on making sure you get to enjoy the day you worked so hard to plan.
You want timeless images and a wedding day that actually feels like you lived it.

Beyond the Wedding Day
Your wedding day will be filled with fleeting, irreplaceable moments—and while digital images are beautiful, nothing compares to holding your memories in your hands or extending the celebration beyond the day itself. Years from now, you’ll pull your wedding album off the shelf, settling onto the couch as little hands reach to turn the pages. As your children press close, you’ll point out the way your partner looked at you during your first dance, the laughter shared with loved ones, and the magic of that day. And in that moment, your love story becomes part of their story, a legacy preserved.
Heirloom albums
Some moments deserve a do-over—without the rush of a timeline. Whether it’s golden hour portraits in a dream location or one more chance to soak in that just-married feeling, a Day-After Session gives you space to slow down, dress up, and create magic without the pressure. It’s ideal if you skipped a first look or just want more time together (and gorgeous photos to match).
Day After Portraits
Your wedding isn’t just one day...it’s an entire experience. For couples who want every unforgettable moment captured—from the welcome party to the final farewell, the Wedding Weekend Collection tells the full story. The anticipation before the ceremony, the toasts over dinner, the spontaneous joy between events... these are the in-between moments that become the most meaningful. And I’m there to preserve them all.
For the Couples Who Want It All…
Samantha & Jordan
“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.”
