A little more about me

A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, BELIEVER, WIFE TO MY BEST FRIEND, AND MOM TO MY TWO DOGS

HI THERE!
I’M KRISTA!

happiest when my hubby’s at my side, my pups are on my lap, a bowl of ice cream’s in my hand and the summer sun is shinin’

Meet the girl behind the lens

Hi there! I’m Krista. The photographer who captures love and truly believes in happily ever afters. Specializing in weddings throughout Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. My desire is to capture authentic moments and emotions in a timeless and romantic way. I strive to take the photos you’ll obsess over and that will take you back for years to come to the happiest day of your life.

Falling in love changed my life

I’ve been a Mrs. since 2015 when I married the handsome guy I fell in love with in college. He was my best decision and is the reason why I know true love exists. Because of him, I got to go from believing in love stories, to living one every day. He’s the person who pushed me to make my dreams come true. It’s been 8 years of learning and growing together, and I’m so lucky to not only call him my husband, but my business partner. Andrew has joined me as my second shooter ever since I started photographing weddings. We love working together and building relationships with every couple we have the opportunity to serve.

It started with a little pink camera

My heart has always been drawn to photography. Growing up, I carried my digital camera everywhere I went. I turned my friends into models and my mom’s backyard into my studio. I became obsessed with getting the next best shot and realized my new favorite place was behind the lens. Practice shoots eventually turned to wedding bookings and not only did my calendar fill, but my heart did too. I fell in love with brides and grooms and their unique chemistry, and capturing each one of their love stories became my passion.

Look back on your legacy forever

I am a firm believer in marriage and the power a legacy holds. The best day of your life should make you smile to look back on, and having amazing photos that capture and take you back to that day is crucial. Outside of wedding vows, the only thing that lasts on your wedding day is your photographs/videos. Each year, our anniversary tradition is to look through our wedding album. I will forever wish I could relive that magical day and having photographs is one way I’m able too.

THE HEARTBEAT BEHIND IT ALL

OUR PURPOSE

Andrew and I both have a heart for people. We do what we do because we love getting to know other couples and serving them on their wedding day. I absolutely love taking pictures, but people come first every time. We believe that each couple we have the opportunity to interact with in this business is a gift. God has blessed us in our marriage and in this business. We love working together and using our gifts to bring others joy and are so thankful for the opportunities we have to do just that! Ultimately our heart is for people and hearing their stories, meeting them where they are at, and being a help and encouragement to them.

Our Mission in this business is to glorify God by serving our clients well, living out our legacy, and using our God given gifts to provide an experience that our clients will forever cherish!

Heart to Hearts – I love making the time to connect with my friends and deepen my relationships. My love language is quality time so a good heart to heart over a cup of tea does well for my soul!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Cooking – Believe it or not before I got married I don’t think anyone thought I would be able to cook, but I love it. Finding new recipes and making homemade meals has become something I enjoy and look forward to!

Hosting – My husband and I love to have people over! We have always wanted to have an open door policy and love to make people feel like part of the family once they walk in our door!

DIY projects – My creative side comes out in SO many random projects. I have refinished furniture, made doggy bandannas, painted canvases, etc. I love working with my hands to create something beautiful, it is my therapy.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Family – This is SO important to me! And yes this includes my dogs, nothing like being greeted with a wagging tail every time you walk in the door, always so excited to see you! I always look forward to family vacations, family dinners (every Sunday!), and of course holidays!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

The country – My dream is to one day have a farm right by the beach… or perhaps a farm on my own island…and yes I am a dreamer…always have been, always will be!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Netflix, ice cream, snuggles – My favorite way to relax in the evenings is with a big bowl of ice cream snuggling my husband and our sweet fur babies!

SWEET NOTES FROM PREVIOUS KJP COUPLES

"THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH WORDS"

There will never be enough words to describe how amazing Krista and her work is! When I was looking for a wedding photographer, I really wanted someone to capture the true authenticity and emotions of our wedding day. Krista’s photography is nothing short of a work of art. Her bright and airy style along with her creativity and talent for taking pictures produces images straight out of a fairytale. Krista was able to capture our true and raw emotions so well through her photos and that is something that we will be able to look back on and remember forever. Krista and her husband, Andrew, made us feel so comfortable, encouraged, loved, and relaxed throughout our entire wedding day! Krista is one of the most authentic, creative, and kind photographers you will meet.

Matt & Mia

"We knew we had picked the perfect photographer"

We cannot say enough amazing things about Krista and her husband! From our first meeting, we knew that we had picked the perfect photographer. Not only did our pictures come out absolutely incredibly, but we felt so comfortable and supported throughout our entire wedding planning process and our wedding day! Krista's creativity, kindness, flexibility, professionalism, and pride in her work shine through in her photographs! We would recommend her to any and everyone.

Christina & Chad

"they captured the reality of our wedding"

My spouse and I got married in September last year. Luckily we found kristajean photography for our wedding! Krista and her husband work so well together and were such a pleasure to work with. They took the time to get to know us and followed the flow that we wanted for our day. They took fantastic pictures at the church for our ceremony, on top of a mountain where we took our couple pictures and at the reception. Each conversation my husband and I had with Krista and her husband felt more like talking to friends than the photographers we simply hired. Because of how comfortable they made the day, we had amazing pictures! I recommend them to anyone getting married!

DJ & Sarah

"I cannot say enough wonderful things"

Krista and Andrew made our wedding day absolutely perfect! My favorite part of the day was the first look. Krista and Andrew organized the timing/communication for us and found a beautiful location at our venue. They also stepped back and took photos from afar to allow us to enjoy our moment, which I truly appreciated. I thought bride and groom portraits would be awkward for me and my camera-shy fiance, but Krista and Andrew made it SO much fun! They are genuinely just sweet, kind, and fun people to be around. They fit right in with my family, friends, and guests. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Thank you so much!

Jessica & James

"Your work is breathtaking"

There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Krista & Andrew! Your work is breathtaking. Thank you for helping us make our day one to remember. You have such an amazing gift. Krista & Andrew went out of their way to make each & every one of our friends & family members feel special & beautiful... Something I am forever grateful for. Thank you for helping us show our true colors! Until next time ❤️
