My husband and I hired Kristen and her KWP Masters team for our wedding this past Saturday (1/29/22). We absolutely cannot say enough nice things about Kristen and her team! Whitney was our lead photographer, and we absolutely ADORE her! She did our engagement photos at Vizcaya in September, and it was blazingggg hot, and she had a smile on her face and positive attitude the whole time! She is just all around good vibes!

Then Whitney and Gabby did our wedding photos this past weekend and Gabby was equally positive, friendly, and just a genuine delight to be around! They both blended right in with our crew, and were so professional and easy to work with! The photos have turned out BEAUTIFULLY (and we have not even gotten all of them back yet but omggg the ones we have seen from sneak peeks are amazinggg!). We can't wait to work with this team again in the next stage of life!

The 10,000 day photo shoot you did for us, absolutely beautiful! everyone involved in this day was fabulous and so wonderful to work with. You all made it so fun and exciting for us. I can't tell you how much we enjoy looking at these photos "It made us cry". We look amazing! Many thanks to you, your creative staff and all the very talented professionals that got us ready and spent the day working with us! We really think this day was better than our wedding 28 years ago. Kristen and Kellen thanks for thinking of us. Bob and Cindy

I have worked with her in the photography industry, AND had the opportunity for her to take some family photos for us! She is so talented as many of her clients have said! Kristen is so professional to work alongside at weddings, and to work with as a client. If you are looking at working with Kristen, check out any other platform than Yelp to see actual reviews from people who have actually worked with her! We loved our experience with her and our photos!

Kristen Weaver is someone brides & grooms fall in love with! While working at The Bridal Finery, I have learned that investing in photography is a must. It really is the one item from the wedding that will always remind you of how special your day was. Kristen truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they are taken care. She also makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is important! Especially on a day you are already so nervous for.

I've modeled for the last year & this was my FAVORITE photoshoot to date! Not only is Kristen Weaver & her team talented and professional, but also a joy to work with. There wasn't a single image that I wasn't in love with! If you're looking to book a photographer for ANY occasion, book her. You won't regret it!
