About That Girl...
“My goal is for you to feel fully present throughout it all, knowing your story is being documented thoughtfully and beautifully.”
I'm Kristen
I’m a destination wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Sarasota, Florida, traveling wherever your story takes us.
My work blends a fine-art sensibility with the real, unscripted moments that make your wedding yours. I love the balance between artfully posed editorial portraits and the photographs that happen in between: the laugh you didn’t expect, the quiet moment before walking down the aisle, the way your family looks at you, and all the little details you may not notice until years later.
Because your wedding photographs should feel elevated without ever feeling staged.
A little about me...
I’ll be honest, I’m a little shy.
But I’ve never been afraid to put myself out there for something beautiful.
That’s probably part of why I’ve always been drawn to photography. I was the designated family photographer long before I ever called it a career. Using any camera I had (from $10 - $20,000 cameras) I found a way to notice the little things, preserve the people I love, and tell stories without needing everything to be perfectly posed.
Over the years, that curiosity grew into a passion for creating. Photography eventually led me into filmmaking, giving me another way to capture the movement, emotion, voices, and in-between moments that make a story come alive.
And I’m still always looking for new ways to create and preserve life's beautiful moments.

My Approach
My approach blends an editorial, fine-art sensibility with the beauty of real life.There is space for beautifully composed portraits, intentional details, and photographs that feel worthy of the pages of a magazine. But there is just as much room for the unexpected: the movement, emotion, laughter, happy tears, and fleeting moments that could never be recreated.The result is imagery that feels refined without feeling rehearsed.Timeless without feeling dated.Beautiful without losing what made it yours.
Artfully Captured, Honestly Felt
I’ve always believed the most meaningful photographs are the ones that take you somewhere.Back to the feeling of your wedding day. Back to the people who stood beside you. Back to the way it felt to be surrounded by the people you love most.That is why the experience matters just as much as the images.You shouldn’t feel like you are performing for a camera. You should feel present in your own story.With gentle direction when you need it and space when you don’t, the goal is to create an experience that feels effortless, intentional, and entirely your own.
More than how it looked
A Legacy in the Making
Every love story deserves to be documented with the same care that went into creating it.Whether your celebration takes place along the Amalfi Coast, in the mountains, at a historic estate, or somewhere that simply feels like you, your photographs and film should preserve more than the details of the day
They should preserve the people.
The feeling.
The beauty.
The story.
So years from now, when the flowers are long gone and the music has quieted, you can return to these images and feel it all over again.
