your love story deserves to be seen

Hi, I'm Krissy

I've lived in Arizona my whole life. The Grand Canyon still takes my breath away. Sedona still makes me pull over. Seven years of photographing love stories here, and I'm still not over any of it.
I'm the person crying happy tears in the corner because your grandma made it to your wedding. The one who showed up to your engagement session with a speaker so you'd actually loosen up and dance. Your calm in the chaos and your loudest advocate.
I photograph couples of every shape, size, ability, orientation, and background. Not as a statement. As a standard.
Your love belongs here. So do you.
