natural wedding photography
Wedding day stories are best told in natural light and candid moments.
From the day we connect to the first months of your marriage, I love celebrating this milestone with you and helping you remember every moment, just as it felt.
One of the best parts of my job is doing the hard work of making your wedding experience feel effortless.
If you know me, you know that organization and preparation is my jam!
We’re in touch all the way up to your wedding day, going over details and planning for your best wedding day experience.
We’ll create a wedding day timeline together, talk about rain plans, discuss family portrait lists and go over the important moments.
Every couple is different, so I like to get to know you and hear from you what moments and details are especially important to you.
before your wedding
Enjoying an easy breezy stress-free joyfilled wedding day means having the right peeps behind the scenes helping everything go smoothly while you enjoy the ride!
I’m with you from start to finish, making sure we stay on track and get where we need to be on time.
In moments that call for direction, I’m your take-charge photographer. For everything else, I’m all about staying out of the way and letting those big moments unfold naturally.
Nothing tells the story of your real relationship better than those candid, in between moments that you share on your wedding day, so I love doing a mix of candid fun and romantic portraits while we’re together.
On the big day
I’m a firm believer that you should own your wedding photos and be able to do what you want with them. When your gallery is delivered, you’ll be able to share, download and print to your heart’s content.
To highlight the natural beauty and romance of your wedding day, all your wedding photos are lovingly hand-edited and corrected by yours truly before they hit your inbox.
When you’re ready to make your wedding portraits part of your home, I love working with you on creating heirloom albums and prints for you and your family.

Engagement Sessions
If you’re nervous about looking awkward in your wedding pictures,
engagement sessions are perfect!
We’ll plan your session together and spend some time hanging out. You’ll come
away with gorgeous portraits of the two of you AND a newfound confidence.
I LOVE getting to know the two of you before the wedding day, so I always
encourage my couples to set up a session with me for their engagement!
Because I do so many of them and my calendar books up so fast, I only
offer engagement sessions to current Petal & Glass brides and grooms.
Words from Real Couples
Kendra & jon
"We were so honored to have Kristen be a part of our wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she has the ability to keep you completely focused and calm despite all of the chaos going on around you on your wedding day.
Kristen is accommodating, understanding, professional and I can't begin to express how happy I was with the results."
Alexa & Nic
"We get so many compliments on [our wedding and engagement photos] and the natural way she captured the love my husband and I have for each other.
She is so talented and she's given us the most beautiful photographs to remember our wedding day.
I cannot recommend her enough! Having beautiful photos to remember our wedding day was really important to us, and there is no better choice than Kristen with Petal & Glass!"
Erin & Nick
"..My husband was initially skeptical that a wedding photographer could capture the natural beauty of our wedding day, but he was immediately reassured when he met Kristen for our engagement photo session.
Kristen was always so calm, collected, and genuinely excited to do her job.
She portrayed the true essence of our wedding day because she was always present at the right times to capture our big moments without distracting anyone or drawing attention to herself.."
Rebecca & Daniel
"The photography aspect of the wedding planning had me frazzled and once I met with Kristen I immediately calmed down! I knew she was the right choice!
I was also very nervous about looking awkward in my pictures and she reassured me that it would be fine. And she was right! No awkward pictures! We LOVE how our photos turned out and I have no idea how to decide which ones to print.
Kristen made the entire process so fun by sending me little notes and reminders leading up to the big day. She is very professional and kind and I cannot express how grateful we are for our amazing pictures."
