My mission is to cultivate a space where you can show up naturally as yourself, be present, and have fun. A space for intimacy and joy, in whatever way that looks for you. When you have me along as your wedding photographer, you can expect: emotive imagery that feels true to you and your story, a grounding force that will be a steadfast support throughout the entire process, and a lifelong friend that will be cheering you on through each season of life.

MEET KRISTI
INquire
First of all: I’m SO excited you’re here. 🧡
I am a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, with a deep passion for human connection, savoring each sweet moment life has to offer, and co-creating through this art form. With over five years of experience photographing weddings, I’ve realized just how incredibly lucky I am to call this my job.
Not only do I get to bear witness to some of life’s sweetest moments & most-tender seasons, all while cultivating a space for intimacy where you can show up naturally, be present and have fun, I also get to mentor photographers that are just starting out and want to build a mindful business with intention, freedom, and an elevated client experience.
There’s not much in this world that brings me more joy than getting to document couples in love, and also help other photographers grow & expand.

She was a grounding force on our wedding day and took the most beautiful photos that felt authentic to our story and the mood of the day. She is a great communicator and checked in throughout the process. Do yourself a favor and hire this wonderful and talented woman. She is passionate about her work and captures the elusive beauty and joy of wedding days with ease.

She really takes the time to get to know her couples and curates a space where you feel known and seen. She photographed our wedding and the results were absolutely stunning. Choosing her to capture our big day was the best decision we made for our intimate wedding.

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Kristi! She captured every moment of our special day beautifully, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. Her attention to detail & creativity were exceptional. From the candid shots to the perfectly posed portraits, every picture was fabulous and truly told the story of our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and we will treasure these photos forever. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!
CASEY & BRENT | OREGON COAST ELOPEMENT
Kristi is a phenomenal photographer, visual storyteller, friend, and human being. My husband and I discovered her Instagram profile when planning our PNW elopement and fell in love with her work and her style. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting her in person until the day we were married, but we felt the connection with her from our very first online meeting! She expertly captured the love and devotion between us. I will forever be grateful for her, and will cherish the memories she has preserved for us. Working with Kristi is an absolute dream, and truly an honor.
