Timeless Photography
We had the pleasure of working with Kriztelle of Tethered Stories at Meyer's Castle, and her talent left a lasting impression. She captured the day with stunning artistry, delivering images that were both emotive and timeless. Kriztelle was calm, professional, and a true pleasure to work with throughout the day. We would be thrilled to welcome her back and highly recommend her to any couple seeking elegant, storytelling photography! :-)
Elopement Shoot
Kriztelle is an amazing photographer! She made both me and my husband feel so comfortable during our elopement shoot. She guided us through the entire process with patience and ease, especially when we had no idea how to pose (lol). Her ability to capture genuine moments is incredible. The photos we received are absolutely beautiful, memories we’ll truly cherish forever. So grateful we had her as part of our special day!
Our August 18, 2024 Dallas, TX Wedding
Kriztelle has photographed for my husband and I (and our families!) on several occasions now! She photographed our elopement at City Hall in Chicago with our immediate family and so graciously agreed to travel to shoot our wedding ceremony reception with all of our loved ones in Texas. We are incredibly overjoyed with our experiences with Kriztelle. She is incredibly detail oriented, intentional and thoughtful in all her planning and coordinating of the day. She fit so well in collaboration with our other vendors and helped or day run so smoothly. She has a way capturing a love story so beautifully, and most importantly, authentically. In every single wedding photo we received, we were able to easily relive such special, intimate moments. She has such a story-telling vision that is so comforting when the hectic-ness of a wedding can be so heightened. She always made us feel seen, heard, and reminded us of how special this day was despite everything moving on around us. And her passion truly translates into the beauty she creates. I am so happy that I can look back at all our photos she captured for the rest of our lives.
Kriztelle is Awesome!!
Kriztelle was such an amazing photographer for our wedding journey. From our first consultation she ensured the planning was about us and made us feel at ease with choosing a photographer. We checked out her instagram and loved her work, which led to our decision to book. Kriztelle was always flexible and honest with us. We quickly understood her passion and dedication as hopped on a boat with us on very cold Chicago day to ensure she got the best shots of us! When it came to the big day, Kriztelle made sure we were taken care of throughout her entire time with us. After each grouping of photos we took, after many photo requests from our family throughout the night (of course with our approval), and our truly candid photos on the dance floor. She checked every box we had requested. We also partnered with her for Photo Booth services and she managed everything like a well oiled machine. She was patient with our family and even helped us with a plan B when our outdoor wedding ceremony was rained on (Chicago weather at its finest). She worked a long day with us and captured detailed memories we will cherish forever. We recommend Kriztelle to anyone with professional photo needs, especially on their Wedding Day.
