    Beautiful Photography

    Kristine was a pleasure to work with from the get-go. She has a likable, calm, professional approach with her clients and clearly has a passion for high quality photography that truly captures the best moments. She was very flexible when things didn't quite go according to plan, so it minimized the stress for all of us so we could focus on enjoying our event. I highly recommend her for any special occasion!

    Best photographer ever!

    We had the pleasure of working with Kristine Marie Photography on three separate occasions. Kristine photographed our engagement photos, our wedding day, and our reception the following day. We have never had professional photos taken so we didn’t really know what we were getting into. Kristine met us at the Iron Mountain Trailhead in Poway on a nice October evening shortly before sunset for our engagement photos. Kristine led us through the photo session where the photos came out amazing. When we were planning our wedding photographer we immediately thought of Kristine. We got in contact with her and scheduled both future dates. We were married at the San Diego County Administration Building in June 2023. We arrived downtown for our ceremony & immediately met up with Kristine. Kristine knew of all the magical photo areas to photograph ourselves and our families. We were lucky that Kristine had photographed multiple weddings at this location so she knew how to get around the building easily. Kristine also was able to photograph our wedding reception at the Stone Brewery in Escondido. She was able to capture many family photos as well as candid's during the reception. We received all of the photos, and were 100% satisfied. My family and friends were also so happy with the photos & very impressed with Kristine's professionalism, talent, and willingness to make our special days go so smoothly. We will be using Kristine again for our family pictures each year. Kristine Marie Photography is very fair priced & with her knowledge and professionalism it was worth every penny. My only recommendation is to book her in advance as her schedule does book up.

    Exactly what you need!

    Kristine did an amazing job photographing our November wedding. She was on time, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable while they were being photographed. Both myself and my husband dislike having pictures taken, yet she was able to capture authentic expressions for both portraits and candids. Our wedding had an unusual schedule and elements, but she was able to tailor a photography package that was a good fit.

    Creating magic through photography

    From the moment I met Kristine I instantly liked her. Looking for a wedding photographer can be stressful but she made it an absolute pleasure - it felt like I was working with a best friend.

    From our first call to the day of my wedding she was a dream. She made the experience fun, was always prepared, organized, and one step ahead... which is priceless as the Bride. And to top it off, my MOH was pregnant and on the day of my wedding she offered to do a little pregnancy shoot for her - this meant the world to me and my MOH.

    Once we received our wedding photos I was almost in tears. Kristine was able to not only capture our beautiful day but she did so in the way I always dreamed my wedding photos would look. My husband and I are eternally grateful for her support throughout our wedding planning process and having beautiful pictures which will last a lifetime.

    Amazing experience for engagement and wedding photos

    Everything was fantastic about working with Kristine, from our engagement shoot to wedding photos and the album we ordered from her. She is responsive, easy to work with, and produces some beautiful shots. We also loved the candids that Kristine and her assistant captured of our guests. Would 100% recommend working with her!

    Dream Wedding Photograghy

    I really enjoyed working with Kristine and her assistant Vin. My husband had so many good things to say working with Vin, he can be shy in front of the camera and Vin made him feel like they were old friends. Our dreams came true with the most gorgeous photos on sunset cliffs.

    One of the best decision we made was hiring Kristine for our engagement photos and wedding day. She is so talented, fun and professional. We truly enjoyed working with her and LOVE the way our photos came out.

    Picture Perfect

    Kristine was amazing! We were worried that we would look awkward during our engagement photos but she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We ended up having a lot go fun and knew we were in good hands for the wedding. She came up with a photography timeline for us to include the first look and family photos that we wanted. She taught us how to pose and look our best and always checked in to make sure that we weren't too tired or uncomfortable with a shot. She is very professional and easy to work with and you can tell she is passionate about photography. We are so excited to see what our wedding photos will look like, and if our engagement photos were any indicator, we know they'll be amazing.

    Kristine was amazing! She helped us with both engagement photos and wedding photos, and everything came out amazing! Initially, Kristine was thorough, friendly, and professional as made sure we understood all the expectations. For our engagement shoot, Kristine scoped out all the locations in advance, and taught us to look our best as we modeled in our old stomping grounds! And at the wedding, we heard from more than a half-dozen guests that Kristine was extremely professional and very impressed by how well she conducted herself. The pictures turned out incredible and an amazing reminder of our special day. Thanks Kristine!

    Kristine and her team are the very best! The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, starting with Kristine answering our millions of questions, offering advice, and customizing our timeline and package to fit our every need and want. The photography on our wedding day was comfortable and fun. The entire team are true professionals who made us feel at ease. And most of all, the final product!! The photos are bright, classic and just so gorgeous. Family and friends are in awe at how quickly we received them, and how brilliant they are. It really was the perfect day, and we am forever grateful to Kristine Marie Photography for capturing it.

    Kristine was amazing! I'm not a huge fan of taking pictures and my wife and I were a little nervous about it feeling awkward during our sessions. Kristine made us feel super comfortable from the start. She found some amazing spots for us to take pictures for both our engagement photos and after the ceremony. All the photos were edited and sent to us in a timely fashion and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Kristine has such a great eye for photography and just a natural talent with people. If you can hire her do it now!

    We hired Kristine for our engagement shoot and wedding. Kristine Marie photography is very professional and knowledgeable! She was very thorough and made us feel at ease during our stressful wedding planning. Kristine is a 10/10 across the board! before the shoot she will get to know you and your style, she will make sure that all your needs are met, during the shoot her relaxed and fun personality makes her easy to work with. After the shoot, she will keep you informed of the process. First class all the way, we will hire again for some family portraits.

    We found Kristine online when looking for a photographer who knew the Pacific Beach area. We were looking for a specific style - photos that looked natural and not filtered or edited much. We also wanted someone who was extremely professional, creative, and able to take charge with her clients. I wanted someone who could tell me where to put my hand where to look and when to smile and not. Kristine did just that!

    Kristine was extremely flexible throughout our entire journey with her. We wanted to do our engagement photos in two locations at two different times of the year. With a small extra fee (very reasonable) she agreed to do just that. At both shoots she was there early, prepared with poses, and very fun to work with.

    Leading up to the wedding Kristine was SO helpful. She provided the complete timeline which we were able to edit to our liking and then give to other vendors. That made life a lot easier. She also had various helpful suggestions from prior experience. When I showed her some ideas for photos she took them to heart and remembered on the day-of.

    The day of Kristine and her assistant were there and ready to roll! She was energetic and very professional. She stayed true to the timeline and got the various family and bridal party shots we had discussed. It's always important to remember it's a live event, so some shots didn't turn out as we might have hoped from one reason or another, but it wasn't for a lack of effort or preparation. We got about 700 shots back that were up to the company's standards.

    We received our photos in less than a month! This was so awesome and unexpected. There was great attention to detail on the packaging and USB drive - a nice touch!

    Overall, we were very happy with Kristine Marie Photography. :)

    Email Kristine? Expect to get a response back within the hour. Feeling uneasy about being the center of attention and taking a million pictures? Kristine will put you at ease. Want a stellar photographer and create a relationship to last a life time? I mean a lifetime, like maternity pictures, future children birthdays, other big events? Pick Kristine Marie Photography. Kristine photographed my engagement, boudoir, and wedding pictures. The reason I keep going back is because she is just that good. Kristine was always prompt and super professional each and every time. She honestly feels like a friend rather than a "wedding vendor". I seriously can't thank her enough for the guidance and amazing pictures that will last a LIFETIME. Thanks Kristine!!

    Kristine did our engagement pictures and will be shooting our wedding next April. It has been a pleasure to work with her. She explained everything thoroughly at our first meeting and sent us a helpful welcome packet after we signed our contract. The packet included recommendations for other vendors which helped us find our DJ! She checked in with me at every step, confirming that she got the contract then confirming the date/time/place of the engagement shoot. She made us feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun during the shoot. I felt like she got our vibe and didn't ask us to do any poses that felt unnatural for us. She was happy to include our dog in our pictures, which was important to us, and she accommodated my request for a specific shot, even when it meant moving to a new location. Her turnaround time was so fast! We got our pictures within a couple weeks and were able to use one on our save the dates. She has made this process feel like a celebration for us, not like just another wedding. I'm very excited to have her as our wedding photographer and highly recommend her!

    Kristine was great to work with! She was quick to respond to email and got our photos back to us very quickly. She was very friendly and made us feel comfortable during the photo shoot. She was also resourceful... She made me a floral crown from a couple twigs from a tree. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun photo shoot, and natural and beautiful photos.

    Kristine did an amazing job capturing our day perfectly! We hired Kristine for our engagement and wedding photos and she was awesome. Not only were the pictures beyond anything we could have expected, Kristine is just a wonderful person to work with. She was professional, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures she got of our wedding are unreal. We are reliving our wedding everyday through the photos. We would highly recommend Kristine!

    We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. We knew from the moment we met Kristine that she was the photographer for us. It was meant to be just like our marriage.

    A few of my friends warned me that their photographers took FOREVER to get their images to them. One of my friends said here took a whole year! That was one of the things we really loved about Kristine. She was very professional and got us the images on both the engagement pics and wedding in weeks!
    She is fast, but the images definitely did not suffer. Our pictures were so amazing. There were so many good ones that we had a really hard time picking which ones to put in our album. We got married at Fairbanks Ranch clubhouse in Rancho Santa Fe, and the images were so amazing that they put us on the cover of the Fairbanks Living Magazine, and did a write up on our wedding, including several of our wedding pictures.

    Kristine made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera- even my camera shy husband! She also thought of everything, from timeline, to lighting. We highly recommend Kristine and can't imagine our wedding memories without her and her images.

    Kristine is much more than an excellent photographer, she's personable, caring, helpful, detail oriented, thoughtful, energetic....and the list goes on. Being photographed made me so nervous but right away she calmed my nerves with her humor and fun, easy going personality. She made us very comfortable from the start.
    When you hire Kristine she almost seems like your wedding planner! She gave us preferred vendors, a mock up timeline of events for the day of, so many tips and tricks to planning a wedding as well as chocolates and champagne to celebrate!
    We couldn't be happier with how our engagement photos came out and I can't wait to see how our wedding photos end up!
    Kristine was the best decision we've made - I'm sure more reviews will come after our big day! :)
