  Effortlessly talented

  I chose Kirsten as the photographer for my June 2024 wedding at Old Greenwood, and she exceeded all my expectations as the perfect photographer for our special day.
  
  After interviewing around a dozen photographers, it was crucial to find someone who not only had the right skills but also made us feel comfortable. Kirsten's fun-loving personality instantly connected with our family and guests. Leading up to the wedding, she maintained excellent communication to ensure she captured our vision perfectly.
  
  The photographs Kirsten captured are beyond iconic; they beautifully encapsulate the essence of our day. Countless friends and family have echoed my sentiments. Booking Kirsten was a decision I would make again without hesitation—she is truly exceptional at her craft. Thank you, Kirsten, for your magical touch.

  Superstar Wedding Photographer

  WE absolutely love our wedding photos. Kirsten-Marie made our day even more special with her outgoing, creative, and funny personality. Our first initial call with Kirsten we explained we are very awkward in front of the camera. Her direction and wonderful prompts captured our best smiles and unique styles without looking forced. She went above and beyond to learn about our wedding location before hand to study the lighting and spots for creative photos. Kirsten is truly a professional and master at her craft. Looking at the photos she seemed to be every where capturing the most beautiful moments between our guests. We will cherish her work for the rest of our lives.

  Without a doubt, the best vendor on our Wedding Day

  When it came time for us to book the photographer, we looked around online and on instagram for a couple of weeks. Most photographers did not have the style we wanted, or were way too expensive--then we found Kirsten. Her style matched our vision and her pricing was VERY reasonable for the services she provided. We hopped on a phone call with her to chat with her, get to know what her approach was, etc. We knew within the first couple of minutes that she was the right one for us! She was bubbly and personable, but also professional and organized. She had a clear vision and approach for how to execute our wedding photography. We felt very confident the she knew what she was doing and was on top of her game, which was very reassuring when some of our other vendors were less reliable. Although she is located in Reno, NV, our wedding was in Baltimore, and she was willing to travel, no issues at all! She also photographed our rehearsal dinner the night before, and coordinating that was also so so simple. On the day of our wedding, she was super engaging and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We're not used to taking couples photos, and unfortunately we felt uncomfortable during our engagement photo shoot with another photographer. We communicated this to Kirsten and she made sure to make us feel relaxed and at ease on our very chaotic wedding day. All of our wedding guests raved how awesome she was as she was taking pictures of everyone the whole night. Then we got the photos--they are beautiful! We got a sneak peak of the photos a couple of days after our wedding, with the whole photo album coming about 3 weeks later. We only have good things to say about Kirsten and the amazing job she did. It was truly a joy working with her. She was the best vendor we had on our wedding day, even though working with her required the least amount of prep work.

  Incredible photography, amazing person, so grateful for her on our wedding day

  I literally cannot recommend Kirsten-Marie more. She is an amazing artist who captures so much joy in her photography. I found Kirsten when I was searching for wedding venues online in the DC/Maryland area; every time I saw a photographer I liked, I copied their name down and low and behold I copied Kirsten's name a dozen times. I reached out to her to see her availability, and after a quick phone call I knew she was the right photographer for us. Our engagement session was amazing and we got to know her well then. She has a personality that just invites you to be yourself in front of the camera, to laugh and hug and be playful in a really authentic way. Our wedding was rather different than what we planned this year, but Kirsten rolled with the punches and captured our smaller, special day beautifully. I left that day knowing it was the best day of my life so far, and seeing her pictures brings me right back to those moments. I will forever be grateful for her documenting our day!

  Even better than I could have imagined,

  I can’t say enough good things about Kirsten! Her photos speak for themselves - she is incredibly talented, and she was the first (and only) photographer I called after seeing her gorgeous portfolio. What I couldn’t have known from her portfolio is that Kirsten is such a sweet person! My husband and I were so happy to have her calm, warm presence with us throughout our wedding day. I am thrilled with the way the photos turned out and feel very lucky that Kirsten could come from Seattle to Baltimore to capture our day for us. If Kirsten is available, book her!!!

  Loved Kirsten!

  The best part about our wedding (besides getting married, I guess!) was finding Kirsten as our photographer. Kirsten takes beautiful pictures of all the fun and unscripted moments of your wedding, AND she is a lovely, sweet person who will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. During our engagement session, Kirsten was so fun to hang out with that I felt relieved knowing she’d be at our wedding. Fast forward a few months to the wedding…I was pretty stressed out the week before thinking of everything that could go wrong, and Kirsten – this is not part of her job description – sent me comforting emails and texts to reassure me that our wedding was going to be amazing. On the wedding day, I loved having Kirsten around me all day because it was like hanging out with a friend. Kirsten and her second shooter were both experts at posing us without being too prescriptive, and they knew exactly when and how to guide our large formal group shots and when to be more in the background. We love our photos, and love reliving our wedding day through them. We’ve had friends and family comment that our photos look like they belong in a magazine, and while we’re biased, we agree because they really are beautiful. Thank you Kirsten, you are a gem!

  Kirsten was the best vendor we hired - we are so unbelievably happy we found her. We planned our Seattle wedding remotely and working with Kirsten made it all so much more smooth. She is warm & genuine and the moment I spoke on the phone with her I knew she had the energy I needed on my big day. Our first meeting over coffee only confirmed what an excellent choice we had made - it was like we already knew her! Her good energy vibes shown through immediately - I remember having her at a vendor meeting that was stressful and I felt relaxed having her on my side. She also made us feel so comfortable on the day of even though we chose not to do an engagement shoot to "practice" in front of the camera. I am a bit camera shy but she brought out the best of me, my husband and all our family & friends. Her shots were stunning & had an editorial twist I wanted but also captured the feelings & energy of each part of our day perfectly. I can actually re-live the whole day through her work. We are SO happy we met such an amazing artist! Thank you Kirsten!

  I could not have been any happier that we chose Kirsten for our wedding photographer. We first did an engagement session with her, where she made us feel so comfortable. Kirsten is fun and positive - all of our bridal party even commented how much they loved her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and is very responsive, professional, and talented!

  Can I give 10 stars? Kirsten was everything we could've asked for in a wedding photographer and more. Her warm personality and professionalism put me at ease from the moment of our first conversation, and throughout our subsequent interactions she maintained a cheerful but professional demeanor that helped us have fun while still keeping us on track. She was flexible with our disorganization and falling off schedule, and went above and beyond to scout out the venue and our rehearsal, and even gave us some pointers as we were running through it. Extremely organized and professional, takes beautiful photos (even of non-photogenic people like us!), and just a really wonderful person. Cannot recommend highly enough.

  From our first interaction to the delivery of our full gallery Kirsten has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She captured the spirit, feel, and energy of the day so beautifully and we are in love with our pictures. I reached out to Kirsten in a panic because we had just received our engagement photos from another vendor, and they were...lackluster to say the least. Kirsten immediately put me at my ease and after getting together for lunch I knew we had found our girl! I appreciated how she took the time to have several conversations with me to get an understanding of what I was looking for in our wedding photos, what our style is, etc. It made a huge difference in the end product I know. Kirsten was flexible with her packages to accommodate how we already had done engagement photos which I really appreciated (even though we didn't love them we were most concerned about the quality of the photos on the actual wedding day). Kirsten and her assistant were such a great team and everyone commented on how easy she made the whole picture-taking process. We loved having them with us on our day! Really cannot recommend Kirsten enough she was fantastic.

  Kirsten was absolutely amazing to work with. She is super sweet, very responsive to email, and very accommodating. She took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and we were highly impressed with the photos for both. She easily brought out the playful side of both of us even though wedding day photos are a bit stressful and not very romantic (just due to the # of people surrounding you at all times, watching). She brought a top-notch 2nd photographer to our wedding and most of the reception, I didn't realize either of them were around but they got some wonderful candid shots! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Seattle area (even though she did our wedding in Baltimore, I know she will be fantastic out West as well)! I can't wait to see more of her work!!

  If you are looking for a creative, fun, kind talented and professional photographer, Kirsten is the one for you. Kirsten is kind, calm, and creative in her approach to capturing a wedding. At both weddings I hired Kirsten for, my guests even commented on how nice Kirsten was, and when the pictures were completed, how gorgeous they were. I highly recommend this beautiful photographer for your important events!

  Kirsten is just amazing and made me so happy!!!!! From the day we first talked on the phone I knew right away she got me and understood the vision I had for our wedding pictures. I knew my instinct was right when I met her for my bridal portrait. She made me feel so at ease and so beautiful!! And she did it again on our wedding day! We are in love with every single picture and reliving the magical night looking at them over and over again! She captured us so truthfully and beautifully and she was able to document the sweetest moments that we would have missed otherwise. Kirsten is incredibly creative and talented and it shows in her work. The photos are breathtaking! I could not be happier that we will have these forever!! Thank you, Kirsten!

  Kirsten was absolutely lovely to work with. We don't think we could have had a better experience with anyone else. She takes beautiful pictures and beyond her talent with a camera, she truly cares about the people she is photographing. We knew we had a winner when for our engagement pictures, our dog would not cooperate worth anything and kept the attention span of a fruit fly. I was stressed and convinced that we wouldn't have a single decent photo with our dog and I was sure that it could be seen written on my face. However, when the engagement photos came back you couldn't even tell that we had so much trouble. Kirsten went above and beyond to get our dog's attention and for the fractions of seconds that she got it, she managed to capture beautiful pictures of the three of us. For the wedding itself, Kirsten and her second shooter caught all of the emotion of the day in pictures that we will cherish forever. Throughout it all, she was kind, professional, responsive, flexible, and so easy to work with. We are so sad that she is moving to Seattle, but Baltimore's loss is Seattle's gain. People of Seattle, you are getting a wonderful professional photographer and person. Kirsten, we wish you all the best! A&M

  Kirsten was absolutely lovely to work with. We don't think we could have had a better experience with anyone else. She takes beautiful pictures and beyond her talent with a camera, she truly cares about the people she is photographing. We knew we had a winner when for our engagement pictures, our dog would not cooperate worth anything and kept the attention span of a fruit fly. I was stressed and convinced that we wouldn't have a single decent photo with our dog and I was sure that it could be seen written on my face. However, when the engagement photos came back you couldn't even tell that we had so much trouble. Kirsten went above and beyond to get our dog's attention and for the fractions of seconds that she got it, she managed to capture beautiful pictures of the three of us. For the wedding itself, Kirsten and her second shooter caught all of the emotion of the day in pictures that we will cherish forever. Throughout it all, she was kind, professional, responsive, flexible, and so easy to work with. We are so sad that she is moving to Seattle, but Baltimore's loss is Seattle's gain. People of Seattle, you are getting a wonderful professional photographer and person. Kirsten, we wish you all the best! A&M

  Kirsten is amazing and knows how to make you feel comfortable when taking hundreds of pictures! We used Kirsten for both our engagement pictures and wedding day, and highly recommend her!

  It is really hard to express how grateful we are that we used Kirsten to shoot our wedding day. A photographer was one of the most important things to us because after everything is said and done, what you have left of your wedding day is those wonderful memories and photos. I initially chose Kirsten by looking through her gallery online and scheduled a meeting - she was so warm, kind and easy to talk too (which was also important to me because I can be VERY awkward and you need to be comfortable with who is shooting you!). We had our engagement shoot and Kirsten was awesome, she knows exactly how to capture moments...especially for those of us who aren’t professional models haha. On my wedding day it was just like having a friend with me - even when I was so nervous to see my husband during our first look, Kirsten helped me hold it together and captured some of my favorite and most heartfelt moments of the day. The pictures she took are stunning and mean the world to us and the service she provided was absolutely invaluable.

  Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made early on in our planning - I am so glad we found Kirsten! She invited us to her studio to meet and discuss options and I could tell right away that I would enjoy working with her. Her bubbly personality and air of confidence and experience made me feel like we would be well taken care of, and that it would be a fun experience. This feeling was confirmed when we did our engagement shoot. It was a great way to get even more comfortable working together and being in front of the camera. When our wedding day rolled around, it felt like hanging out with an old friend all day! Kirsten made all of my friends and family comfortable and they all knew what to do/where to go. She's amazingly quick on her feet and so creative in finding those perfect shots. I honestly couldn't have asked for better wedding pictures!

  Kirsten was an absolutely amazing photographer to work with. She is very friendly, professional, and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I was blown away by the quality and variety of pictures we have seen from our engagement pictures and the sneak peek of our wedding photos. Kirsten was great at communication throughout the planning process, and was always willing to work with our schedule. On the day of the wedding, she was so organized and made sure we kept to a timeline. Kirsten made the picture taking process fun, and made sure to get the formal photos we wanted while keeping the candid style throughout the entire day. We are so pleased with the photos we have seen so far and can’t wait to see our entire gallery!
  
  I would highly recommend Kirsten to anyone. Her work is outstanding and her style is very romantic and elegant. It is important to connect with your photographer, and Kirsten is a great choice for a personable professional with great quality photos!

  Words cannot express how amazing it was to work with Kirsten. From the very beginning, she was so quick to respond to emails, flexible with our engagement session, and even offered a second shoot due to the crazy winds. Kirsten was so easy to work with before and after the wedding. Kirsten really made our wedding day special. She was so fun and worked so well with our families and friends. Kirsten and Wendy (second photographer) are such kind, caring, and INSANELY talented photographers. They captured so many special moments from our day. I am so blessed to have these memories documented and to be able to look back on these over the years. I couldn't stop smiling while looking through our wedding photos, they are stunning. I HIGHLY recommend any future bride to work with Kirsten, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much Kirsten for the amazing photos and for being you!

  We knew that we wanted to spend a little more on our photographer to capture our special day forever, and Kirsten was probably the best decision we could have made. She not only captured beautiful pictures, but has the experience and knowledge to direct the flow and progress of your entire day. She definitely knows what she's doing and does it well! Most importantly, she became more than our photographer but our friend. Although this sounds super corny, it was actually really important because we were able to relax and be comfortable in front of the camera, which is seen in all the pictures of our smiling faces. She really captured and worked with who we were as a couple and responds (to emails and returning pictures) very quickly. The BEST!

  Kirsten did a FANTASTIC job on both my engagement and wedding photography. The photos are all beautiful, creative, artistic, lots of candid shots. My husband and I look natural and completely comfortable in the photos, which is no small feat - we's not the most photogenic and it's hard to get a genuine smile from my husband on film. But Kirsten is so friendly and sweet that it's impossible not to feel comfortable during your photo shoot (SO important!)
  
  She's also very professional and very responsive over email and phone. She makes the process of getting and sharing all your photos and creating your photo album really easy with the online gallery. Our photos came on a cute USB in an adorable package with some goodies (salted caramels).
  
  Her pricing is expensive, but seemed pretty much on par with the top notch wedding photographers out there. When I was first looking for our photographer, I found a couple who were less expensive but their portfolios really didn't compare to Kirsten's.
  
  Last, I did go with the package that included a second photographer and I would highly recommend it. Kirsten's second photographer (Wendy) also did a great job and I don't think we would have gotten as many good photos of the groomsmen (Wendy shot their getting ready photos/portraits separately while Kirsten did me and all the bridesmaids), or of the reception without her. There's only so much one photographer can do!

  Kirsten did an amazing job. She is so sweet and professional. She took into consideration all of the photos that I wanted. I loved that she had a second photographer. That allowed an extra person to focus on how everyone in the picture was posing and how our clothes were laying. That is stuff that you don't think about, but is needed to have nice photos. I would hire her again and recommend her to anyone I know getting married. Thanks so much Kirsten!! I can't wait to see our photos :)

  Kirsten was amazing! My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera, but she made us feel at ease and our pictures turned out incredible! We continue to get tons of compliments and I couldn't ask for more from a photographer. Thanks Kirsten!
