YOU DESERVE TO RELIVE EVERY MOMENT...
effortlessly
Napa wedding photography that captures your most meaningful moments in a way that lets you relive the joy, love, and laughter of your wedding day—whenever you want to travel back to it.
let's be real.
Your wedding day is more than just a collection of photos—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with moments of happiness, love, and laughter. With a seamless blend of guided direction and a candid story-telling approach, I ensure you stay present in the moment while I capture it all. From anticipating emotional exchanges before they happen to keeping everything running smoothly, I’m there not just as your photographer, but as a trusted presence who helps you fully embrace the day.
So what if when you look back, you don’t just see your wedding day… you feel it?
With over 15 years of experience and more than 150 weddings captured, I’ve learned that the best wedding photography isn’t just about beautiful images—it’s about the experience. The way you feel on your wedding day directly impacts the moments we capture, which is why I ensure the entire process is effortless, organized, and filled with genuine joy.
My approach blends guided direction with documentary-style storytelling, meaning you’ll never feel lost in front of the camera, but you’ll also have space to soak in every moment as it naturally unfolds. From helping you navigate timeline logistics to capturing the in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening, I’m here to ensure you feel fully present—while I take care of the rest.
My couples are planners at heart but also know that wedding days have a mind of their own. They value an expert who can adapt, problem-solve, and keep things moving while making sure every moment—big and small—is beautifully preserved.
"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
I believe wedding photography isn’t just about capturing how your day looked—it’s about imagery that shows how it felt. The excitement in the air as you step into your dress. The way your partner’s expression shifts when they see you for the first time. The laughter, the happy tears, the overwhelming love surrounding you.
With a seamless mix of guided direction and documentary storytelling, I ensure you stay present in the moment while I capture it all. Because years from now, when you flip through your wedding album, I want you to look at your photos and hear the laughter, feel the warmth of that embrace, and relive every moment as if you're traveling-back in time right to that moment.
"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."

"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.
Ally + Eric
"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."

Your wedding day should feel effortless, and so should your photography experience. With 15 years of expertise and a hands-on approach, I’ve designed an experience that allows you to stay present, celebrate fully, and trust that every moment—big and small—is being beautifully captured.
From the moment you inquire, I guide you through a seamless process designed to remove any guesswork.

The KCP Wedding Experience
Think of this session as your warm-up before the big day! Whether you choose a full two-hour engagement session at two locations or take 30 minutes during your welcome party to step away for portraits, this time together is about more than just beautiful photos—it’s about getting comfortable in front of the camera and with me. We’ll laugh, have fun, and by the time your wedding day arrives, I won’t feel like just another vendor, but a friend cheering you on. You’ll walk into your wedding already knowing how to work the camera magic together, making portraits feel effortless and natural. No stiff poses—just a chance to soak in the excitement and create the stunning images you've imagined.
I’ll partner closely with you and your planner to design a custom timeline that captures all the magical moments you'll cherish for a lifetime. By thoughtfully prioritizing key parts of your day, we can ensure that every special moment—from the heartfelt vows to the joyous celebrations—is beautifully documented. This personalized approach not only elevates your wedding photography experience but also gives you the freedom to fully immerse yourself in the joy and love surrounding you.

Heirloom albums
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.
Day After Portraits
Some moments deserve to be revisited—without the rush of a wedding timeline. Whether you want breathtaking portraits in a dream location or simply soak in the joy of being newlyweds one more time, a Day-After Session lets you step back into your wedding attire in a relaxed setting, creating stunning images with no time constraints. Perfect for couples who skip a first look or want a more intimate moment to reflect on their wedding.

is that a yes?
Not everyone is the right fit for my bubbly personality and sense of humor, and that's okay. After all, you'll spend more time with me on your 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.
