    Stunning pics!

    I cannot say enough good things about Kristen! We booked her for our engagement pictures as well as our wedding. The moments she captured were breathtaking! She has such creative ideas and will absolutely make you feel like a model! If you’re considering booking her—DO IT!

    Such an Amazing Photographer

    We had Kristen take photographs for our entire journey. She captured the moment we got engaged, took our engagement photos, and was there to capture our big day! She was fun, professional, and above all else, an amazing photographer! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture these huge moments in our life together for us to cherish forever.

    Having Kristen shoot our wedding was an absolute dream! As if her work doesn’t speak for itself she is absolutely AMAZING! She is a creative genius and we had full trust in her and her ideas which is a great feeling for such a big day. Unfortunately it poured all day and night for our planned outdoor ceremony so we had to go with plan B inside. Kristen and K2 had such fun and positive attitudes and even stood out in the rain to get some AMAZING shots. What I’ve seen so far is absolutely magical and I can’t wait for the rest! I literally looked all day for days to find her so save yourself some time and book her now, she is the BEST and you won’t be disappointed!! Amazing work and personality she seriously is the whole package! Love love love her!!!

    Kristen did an absolutely amazing job for our engagement and wedding photos! I am thrilled with the wedding photos and I've only seen the previews so far (which she finished in just a few days)! I fell in love with her work when I was searching for a photographer, but never thought we'd be able to afford it. My mom convinced me to reach out to her and she worked with me to create a package that was everything we needed and would work in our budget! Her work is beautiful, I can't express this enough, and she's also fantastic to work with! My new husband hates having pictures done, but Kristen is so fun and personable that she can make anyone comfortable. He actually enjoyed our photo sessions and we had a great time. Our bridal party and parents all loved working with her as well and we have had so many compliments on the photos so far. Will definitely be going to Kristen again for any future photography needs!

    It was such a delight working with Kristen Mittlestedt (and her assistant Kristen). I knew she was an exceptional photographer based on her portfolio, but the pictures she took of our wedding absolutely blew me away. I cannot express how happy I am to have these stunning images thanks to her. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the pictures, with several people saying our images look like they’re straight out of Vogue!
    In addition to her artistic genius, Kristen also excelled at giving me what I wanted as a client. I'm high maintenance and she worked so well with me to get me exactly what I was looking for when I showed her pictures I like or talked about where I wanted to shoot, but she was also brilliant with her own ideas. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Kristen!

    Kristen and her second shooter (also Kristen) were amazing! She did our engagement pictures and wedding and made us both feel so comfortable. She eased my anxiety a lot on our wedding day and I'm in love with all of our wedding pictures that I've seen from our sneak peek. Couldn't recommend her enough :)

    Kristen is the BEST photographer I have had the pleasure of working with. Kristen photographed my wedding ceremony, as well as my henna ceremony (pre-party before the wedding). She captured every moment on both days in a way I couldn't even tell she was ever there. Our pictures came out so beautiful! I loved her style in photography and loved how laid back she was. I would definitely recommend her to any and everyone! Thank you Kristen for photographing my 2 special events!! :)

    We had an instantaneous connection with Kristen when we met her. We weren't sure what to expect since she was the first, and only, photographer we has met with. She was well prepared with her portfolios and our list of questions which we finally got to after an hour and a half of chit chatting. That night we decided to commemorate our new found relationship with a selfie. When it came down to the big day, she was relaxed and laid back along with a bit of wedding coordinator thrown in. She captured the love of our simple and quant ceremony. We even got a bit adventurous because we trusted her that much. Kristen shows her passion for everyone to see through your special day. In my opinion, she's the bee's knees!

    Original, authentic, and extremely talented! Kristen is one of those photographers who goes above and beyond without being asked, and captures the most incredible images without hesitation. She's quick to jump into action with great direction, and also allows the client to soak up the moment. She is the perfect combination of fun wedding guest who will bust a move, professional photographer who will direct you to the perfect shot, and your new best friend, chatting about new lipsticks! We are so thrilled that she worked with us and our strange circumstances to capture our day. We had so much fun putting our trust in her, and seeing the incredible outcome! Thank you for making our day fun and memorable! I hope our paths cross again soon!

    Kristen is a great photographer! She and her second shooter (also named Kristen) were so fantastic on the day of our wedding. Not only were they both super fun to be around all day long, but they were also really professional and took the best pictures ever. In all of our communication leading up to the wedding she was super responsive to all of our emails and was really helpful with getting a day-of timeline started. We seriously could not be happier and are so glad we chose her as our photographer.

    I don't think I can sing enough praises for Kristen and her work. She has the most amazing ability (and skill set) to make every single photo she takes looks like it just jumped off the front pages of wedding magazines and Pinterest alike. I never dreamed that my wedding photos would come out to be so romantic and beautiful but each photo in our preview made me swoon and feel like I was the most gorgeous bride in the world. Her personality is so fantastic that not only do I look forward to every opportunity to meet with her, but working with her behind the camera is a breeze (my now-husband and I are awkward in photos but she made things so easy and natural). She sets the standard high for each job she takes, and she meets it every single time. Her passion for photography is so evident that I never once doubted hiring her for my wedding- I never even considered any other photographers after finding her work and meeting with her in person. I am so lucky to have found her for my wedding, and honored to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing photographer. I would recommend Kristen to absolutely everyone, without a doubt.

    I can't even begin to describe how amazing Kristen is as a person and to work with!
    Kristen and her second shooter (Kristen) were absolutely amazing to work with both before and on the day of our wedding. My husband and I did not have a chance to meet Kristen before our wedding (only one Skype session) since we lived out of state but she did not disappoint! Kristen took the time to get to know us and and she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have absolutely awesome photos of our day!
    My husband and I (and all of our bridal party) highly recommend Kristen for any photography needs! We could not have asked for more gorgeous photos to help us relive our day!

    Working with Kristen was absolutely wonderful. She shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos. From the minute I met her, I felt like we had been friends a long time and clicked instantly. She has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable in front of a camera, even if you aren't. Kristen was incredibly easy to work with. She answered all my questions and took my suggestions and obviously had great ideas of her own. Our pictures turned out FANTASTIC and I'm so happy we made the decision to go with Kristen!

    Kristen Mittlestedt is poised, confident, flexible, professional and personal. She has so many creative ideas and it's clear she does her research before your big day. It rained on my wedding day, but she was not afraid of getting wet and muddy to capture everything. It's so apparent that she LOVES what she does & loves to make people happy! I 100% recommend her to any couple wanting good quality pictures that will last a lifetime (not to mention she's plain fun & will make your photo-taking experience a blast!)

    I cannot rave about Kristen enough! We did our engagement photos with her back in September and immediately booked her for for upcoming wedding as well. Our engagement shoot was so much fun! Kristen has a strong sense of vision and was able to use our surroundings to capture stunning images. She fun personality had my fiance and I genuinely smiling the entire time and she even had him picking me up in the air at one point - it was a blast!

    I am also extremely impressed with her professionalism and responsiveness. I have sent her countless emails throughout the planning process and she always responds the same day. She had a preview from our engagement shoot posted the same night as the shoot and we had a USB with our engagement photos back a few weeks later. She even sent out a note and cute surprise with the USB and made sure to post preview photos on her social media account. It is apparent that she truly cares about the couples she photographs and goes above and beyond to make them feel special.

    I cannot wait for the wedding and I know that Kristen is one vendor I will not have to worry about the day of.
    Great person, great product, great time.

    Kristen shot my wedding in May. She did an incredible job, the pictures turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined they could. She is a joy to work with, very kind and funny. She is also great at giving instructions, which is goodles because most people (myself included) have no idea how to pose. I whole heartedly recommend her as a photographer.

    Kristen did everything photography related that day! She was direct with everyone so I didn't need to worry about what everyone was doing and she was also a lot of fun! Kristen made sure that I was never stressed and I never felt rushed with photographs either. As for her work, it speaks for itself but it is absolutely amazing. I can honestly say I love every single picture from that day! She did our engagement session as well and it was beautiful. You never feel like your posing so everything feels natural and it shows through with her photos. I would 100% recommend Kristen to any bride!

    Kristen was absolutely amazing to work with! She traveled 2 hours to shoot my wedding in Indianapolis and was extremely flexible to my changing schedule even days leading up to the wedding. Now I can't stop gushing over our photos - seriously I look at them almost every day.

    Since I live in Chicago, we didn't have a chance to meet prior to the big day due to my schedule, but the instant I met her, I knew she was going to be an absolute blast to work with! She has an amazing personality and a true eye for photography. We had some places in mind to take photos, but certain backdrops would catch her eye and it was so cool to watch her envision what the photo would look like. She was great at directing the wedding party, posing us, and making sure we got the standard shots, while also using her creativity to create unique photos just for us. She kept us happy, smiling, and moving during the entire day. During the ceremony, she was not intrusive at all and everyone said they didn't even notice she was there. Every photo is so personal and touching. She really knows her stuff!

    I constantly look at the galleries on her website because her photos truly tell a story. If you want a quality photographer, you must go with Kristen. She is organized, quirky, and extremely talented. I can't say enough great things about my experience with her!

    Kristen was so amazing. We first contacted her for engagement photos and within a couple days, we were meeting her and getting our photos done. She was so great to work with and made us feel so comfortable. She was so easy to connect with and knew exactly what we wanted. From then on we kept in contact for the wedding and she was so great with her responses. Within a day, most times within hours, she would respond to any question or email I sent her.

    She was so amazing, especially the day of the wedding. We ended having 2 weddings (a Laotian ceremony and an American ceremony). She has no idea what she was getting into but she did her own research and was able to capture such great photos of our Laotian ceremony. It was definitely a different situation for her but she jumped right in and captured it perfectly.

    For our American wedding, she knew exactly what she was doing. I would give her like a 2 word description of what I wanted and she knew exactly where I was going with this vision. I've gotten so many compliments on our wedding photos and I love it. It's all because of her.

    We just connected so well with her and would recommend her to everyone. Kristen is the sweetest, most amazing photographer we could have asked for. I would not be able to imagine my wedding without her. She was the perfect person for the job.

    Kristen really went above and beyond for my wedding and she delivered beautiful photos! She traveled all the way to southern Indiana to shoot my wedding. I felt like she did more than just take photos. She was super helpful with helping direct how the day was going and was quick to let me know if my hair was falling down or I needed a dress adjustment. She makes you feel very comfortable with the whole photography thing as well (something I'm really not very used to) and is just a fun person to be around. She even went so far as to hike through a creek to get some AMAZING shots at a waterfall! I love the photos I got as a result and all of this was at a very reasonable price. I would recommend Kristen to anyone!

    This photographer provided everything we needed and desired. She went out of her way to make everything possible, going above and beyond her picture duties. She helped in every way possible to make our day perfect. When we fell behind on schedule, she helped to figure out solutions and make things happen. Love her and highly recommend her!!

    Kristen is amazing! I first met Kristen while attending a wedding with a friend. I checked out her website and fell in love with her pictures. I contacted her and recieved a response very quickly. When my husband and I met up with Kristen to talk about our upcoming wedding it went wonderfully; Kristen listened to our wishes, made suggestions, and helped us work out a very effective "timeline" of what was most important to us and about when it would happen in our day. Our big day came and Kristen was completely ontop of everything that needed to happen, kept us going, and made sure we got all the photos we wanted in our time frame. We recieved our link to our online gallery very quickly, and our beautifully cased flashdrive with photos very shortly afterwards. Our photos were fantastic, they were everything I could have wished for, with all the ones we had talked about, and so many more that captured all the special moments of our day. I would recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a photographer for any event (wedding, maternity, baby, engagement, family, etc.).

    Kristen is such an amazing photographer! I decided to go with her for my engagement and wedding photos. This decision was easy because her prices were great when compared to the quality of her photos. She is awesome when it comes to communication. She responds so quickly and is always on top of it. She was always on time and gave great directions when she was photographing. She made me a great timeline of when photos were to be taken on my wedding day. This was so helpful! I gave it to all the people in our wedding so they would know where to be and when. It really helped me plan out the day. I am always blown away when I see the photos after. There are always so many amazing photos that it makes it hard to decide which ones I want to use. You will not be disappointed if you choose Kristen Mittlestedt Photography.
