Michelle & Pete

I had the privilege to see so many parts of California I have never seen. One I marked off of my list was the Santa Ynez area.

Absolutely DREAMY light!

I am in love with this session of Michelle and Pete’s. Not only are they gorgeous but they are super talented photographers too in Cali, plus super sweet!!

Fuji400h film + Contax 645 + California light = Magic!

"She is such a calming presence
much like a friend"


I'm so happy I hired Krystle as our wedding photographer. We got to meet beforehand when she was in California and took our engagement photos and it was like having a friend take our photos. She was an absolute delight to work with and helped put my husband (who hates taking photos) at ease. Our photos were beautiful and were even featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and Magnolia Rouge which was an lovely surprise. If in doubt, hire her! She is such a calming presence which helps on what can be a very stressful day. Wish we could do it all over again!

CAITLYN & JOHN

""HANDS DOWN THE BEST DECISION"

"Krystle was nothing short of a superhero. Hands down the absolute best decision we made for our wedding was hiring her as our photographer! From the very start she totally got what we were going for, probably more than most of our vendors. Then when the day came, she went so above and beyond and saved the day for us so many times, and the pictures turned out beautifully. She has such an eye for light and color on top of being just an amazing and super helpful person to have around. I would 100% recommend her, and my husband and entire family would agree!"

"TALENT TO SEE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW COULD EXIST"

"Krystle was more than I could have ever wished for in a wedding photographer. She has a way of perfectly capturing the light and has a special talent to see beautiful images in the environment that you didn’t know could exist. She was wonderful to work with, easy to communicate with, and we had so much fun with both her and her husband during the wedding and for a day after session. She exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day perfect in Playa Del Carmen!"

BRIANNE & NICK

"IT FELT LIKE KRYSTLE WAS APART OF THE FAMILY"

"When I started planning our wedding, I knew photography was going to be extremely important to me- not only because the photographer would be capturing the most important day of our lives thus far, but because she would be involved in so much of the wedding! After a few weeks of searching, I finally found Krystle and connected with her right off the bat. The first time we talked, we chatted for over an hour (it was just like talking to an old friend) and quickly scheduled our engagement photos with her. I was a little worried how my now husband would do taking photos, but Krystle put him immediately at ease and the whole shoot was so much fun for both of us. Once the wedding day arrived, it felt like Krystle was a part of the family."
