LAUREN & TONY: ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Kristina did an INCREDIBLE job with our engagement shoot. We were originally booked with another photographer who we won a free shoot from, and they cancelled on us last minute. We were in from out of state and wanted to do the shoot while we were back in our home town. Kristina so kind and accommodating, and fit in a shoot for us. Originally I felt a bit nervous about getting a photo shoot done, but after talking with her I felt better about the process right away. She recommended locations to us that we hadn't thought of, and they were perfect for us. She is so great at giving direction and making the experience fun and stress-free even for those like me who are camera shy. The quality of our photos surpassed all of my expectations. I could not be happier that our original photographer backed out and we found Kristina. We LOVE our photos and can't wait to work with her again. She is so talented!

CHRIS & ALESSANDRA: WEDDING

Kristina was fantastic from start to finish. She was referred to us by a friend and she impressed us immediately with her professionalism. We had initial Skype calls (we live in LA) to discuss our "vision" (if you will) and then met with her in San Clemente a few weeks before the wedding to go over final photo locations. We were very impressed that she would drive up to walk through the venue with us ahead of time. The day of, she was just as fantastic - really just nothing but good things to say about her. Would highly recommend and while we won't need her for wedding photography again :-), we'll likely use her for family photo shoots in the future.

KRISTANA & MARKO: ENGAGEMENT & WEDDING

Kristina is truly the best in the biz! I am a wedding planner myself so when it came time to choose vendors for my own wedding, I had a HUGE list of amazing vendors to choose from. I've worked with so many photographers, and there truly are so many talented people in this industry. But working with Kristina is always a dream. She has a crazy attention to detail and you will notice that from the walk thru and the points she makes about positioning and lighting, and also the way she combs through the timeline and makes sure she has specific time carved out for everything you are looking for. She is great to work with as a vendor but even more incredible to work with as a bride. She did our engagement session and at the beginning I realized I have no idea what I'm doing and would be super awkward in these photos without Kristina there directing. She made little adjustments all through out the shoot that feel minimal, but when you see the results you see those little adjustments were actually HUGE for the impact of the photo. She has a way of being able to instruct you but still make moments authentic. I dont like when Photography feels super posed and inauthentic, she really knows how to make the true emotion come through in an intentional way. I could not believe the amount of amazing images we had! So many different spots, poses, moments. I couldn't possibly choose favorites. Then we had our wedding images. If you could have seen my face when she sent me the sneak peek you would literally book Kristina right this second without question. I was in awe. I still look at the pictures every day and it's been over a year since our wedding. People still comment on them when they see me because they were just that amazing. I've worked with so many photographers and I can truly say Kristina is the best at posing you but keeping it authentic, she makes you feel so comfortable which is incredibly important as she is alongside you for your wedding day, she sends a sneak peek soon after the wedding so you can enjoy some of the images while the rest are being edited, is mindful of the timeline and the other vendors, and will leave after the wedding feeling like a lifetime friend. I refer her endlessly to my clients and people I care about because I trust her fully, and my husband and I and my clients have all had incredible experiences with her. Love you Kristina!!
