Kristen R. Smith Photography

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

I’m really passionate about using photography to tell a story. I believe that photos are the best way to capture the special moments in your life- the moments that make up the chapters in your story. I want you to be able to look be on them later and feel the emotion of the moment- the nervous energy you have before walking down the aisle towards your person, the bittersweet moment of wearing Grandma’s bracelet to hold her close even though she can’t be there for your big day, laughing as your hug your best friend. I believe in capturing moments as naturally and authentically as possible- and having a lot of fun while we do it!
