"Oh my goodness! I absolutely love them!! To be embarrassingly honest it made me cry when I saw them. Because I didn't feel pretty the day we took them, but I felt gorgeous looking at these pictures. Thank you so much!!"
Mr & Mrs Cadigan
“Kris captured the most incredible moments of our Sedona wedding! As a naval officer stationed in San Diego, CA, I was a bit nervous about finding a photographer who could travel to Arizona and capture the beauty of the desert. Kris exceeded all my expectations.
Not only was she incredibly talented, but she was also incredibly patient and professional. She blended seamlessly with our guests, capturing candid moments that we’ll cherish forever. The photos are stunning, and the quality is exceptional
We highly recommend Kris to any couple looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of their special day. Thank you, Kris, for preserving our memories!"
