Getting married is a big deal

and so is making art with your love. REAL, Unscripted, and beautifully human

for couples who don't fit the mold and never wanted to

This is about slowing down long enough to be present, seen, and celebrated exactly as you are.

When you work with me, you don't just get a photographer. You get a calm presence on your wedding day, someone reading every room, catching every real moment, the ones you planned and the ones that surprise you both.
Your love is real. Your photos should feel like proof of that.

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.

"If I could give more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat"

She did our elopement shoot in Tucson and it was everything I could have hoped for and so much more! Not only is she incredibly professional but she has a way of really putting you at ease and making taking pictures the most fun experience. Her photos also come out amazing!! 

Alexandria & Xavier

“Krissy encouraged us to be ourselves and got so many special moments”

She really captured our relationship. She listened to our needs and was so knowledgeable not just about photography, but about the wedding industry as a whole. She brought a speaker to our engagement session and encouraged us to just have fun and be in the moment. It was a blast.

“Not only is Krissy an incredible photographer, she's a hype-woman and everything in between.”

She customized our entire shoot based on a questionnaire she sent beforehand, let our fur baby tag along, shared sneak peeks along the way, and delivered our edited photos faster than we thought humanly possible. We felt happy, seen, and completely taken care of from start to finish. Do not hesitate, book Krissy today.

Stephanie & Matt

“I am so happy that we hired Krissy for our anniversary photoshoot — absolutely no regrets.”

The evening of the photoshoot was an absolute blast — she meshed so well with our personalities and kept us comfortable in front of the camera... I am so happy that we hired Krissy for our anniversary photoshoot and I would gladly book her again. Absolutely no regrets.

"I would recommend her for adventure engagement photos and elopements."

Krissy is super nice and very engaging... She takes the time to get to know you before the shoot to discuss any questions. Nothing feels overly posed because she prompts you with movements and humor. I would recommend her for adventure engagement photos, elopements and even weddings.
