In addition to their photographic services, they can also provide lovely mini engagement videos. They will provide a preview of the images five days after the event and the full collection three to five weeks after.
Services offered
They offer to cover the wedding shower, engagement party, preparations of the bride, bridesmaids, groom and groomsmen as well as intimate pictures of the newlyweds before or after the celebration, the ceremony, the entire reception and they make sure to include photos with close family and friends. Additional services can include a meeting, an engagement and boudoir photo session.
Couples can also take advantage of a second photographer, added hours, use of multiple locations and toning of images. High-res photos can be received in albums, on canvas, as digital files on a USB, matted prints, prints, proofs, save the date, thank you cards and they will also be viewable through a private online gallery.
How they work
These photographers utilize fine art, portraiture and, in particular, a photojournalistic style of photography. They aim to capture the special and loving moments in every angle throughout the celebration. They also enjoy providing more formal editorial and formal images to get their creative juices flowing which lets couples enjoy a variety of different photos from the big day. Included with most wedding packages are a set of vintage polaroid images and 35mm film.
Khristel did a fantastic job shooting our wedding in late September and our engagement photos in the spring. She put us at ease (we can be a little awkward) and took really lovely and dynamic photos. We especially love her photojournalism style - she captured all of the real moments and emotions of our wedding. Khristel kept track of the key photos we wanted, made sure we were on time, and managed our wedding party and family members beautifully during the portrait session.
Khristel was very responsive throughout the wedding planning process, providing advice and answering our questions. She even came with us to see some possible photo locations. After our wedding, Khristel gave us a sneak peek of a few photos within 3 days and provided the rest of the photos within the month. Working with Khristel was an all-around wonderful experience and we wholeheartedly recommend her!

I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Khristel! When I first found Khristel she was very willing and able to meet at my place for a first meet. We discussed my interested and wedding size, her costs and her packages. From the very get-go, I could tell she would be a breeze to work with. She had a great attitude and was extremely friendly. Very soon after I hired her! My package included an engagement shoot as well as 8 hours of coverage on the day of. I had hired her well in advance of the wedding day so we kept in communication on when would be a good day to for the engagement shoot. We communicated mainly via email during this time, she was very reliable and would respond in less than 24 hours. On the day of the engagement shoot, I thought, though I never asked, that the shoot would be about an hour or so. When we were done I realized she had actually spent a few hours with us, I was pleasantly surprised! During the shoot, she is very encouraging and makes you feel pretty; we really enjoyed the whole experience. A while before the wedding, she sent us a list of shot ideas and asked us to add any additional ideas that we wanted her to take ( she used this list on the day of to make sure she got all the shots we wanted; LOVED this; super organized). We also wanted to take some shots around the city Khristel was VERY accommodating and helpful in sending me a list of location ideas.
The day of the wedding was a breeze! and Khristel was great; she was fun bubbly and interacted with my guests and family. I didn't have to worry about asking her to do anything we were free to enjoy ourselves while she took photos and delegated guests and family for photos.
To sum it up Khristel is extremely professional, friendly, organized and accommodating all things I believe are very important when hiring a photographer. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again (granted IF I need to get married again hahaha).

Khristel is incredible! She worked with me so much leading up to and the day of my wedding. She was so flexible and professional, but we were still able to have so much fun! The photos she took were incredible and the price was extremely reasonable for the quality and service we got. Even after the wedding, she puts photos online with a password for only you to access, so you can save them. I highly recommend booking Khristel.
