From the very beginning, Kristen and Abel were everything we could have hoped for in wedding photographers/videographers. They captured the most breathtaking, timeless, and amazing...
candid photos while somehow making us forget the cameras were even there. They gave my husband and I the space to truly be present, soak in every moment, and enjoy our wedding day without ever feeling pulled away for endless photos.
On top of their incredible talent, they are genuinely some of the kindest people you'll ever meet. They made us feel comfortable, celebrated alongside us, and brought such a calm, joyful presence to our day. We couldn't be more grateful for the beautiful memories they preserved, and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for wedding photographers, look no further because you've found exactly what every couple hopes for!!
As a June 2026 bride, I cannot recommend Kristen Nicole Photography enough! From our engagement session to our wedding day, Kristen made us feel so comfortable and confident. I’ve ...
always worried that I wasn’t photogenic, but I was absolutely in love with our engagement photos and had so many amazing pictures to choose from. I already know our wedding gallery will be just as incredible.
On our wedding day, Kristen went above and beyond. She wasn’t just there to photograph us. She made every one of our guests feel special by taking family photos and making the experience so personal. I had multiple guests text me afterward to tell me how much they loved her and how excited they were to see their pictures.
I also have to mention how much I loved the energy that Kristen and her husband brought as a photography team. They kept the day fun, relaxed, and stress-free while capturing every special moment perfectly.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, professional, and truly cares about her clients, Kristen Nicole Photography is the best choice!

Every moment of the day is captured perfectly of myself and my husband and of all of our loved ones who celebrated with us! And that's what makes the day is everyone there and they captured them perfectly! They captured every detail of the day as well from our tables to the venue landscaping the ceremony set up the reception very sentimental details of my dads reserved seat as he is passed. We talked details of shots that my husband and I wanted ahead of time and I made a pinterest board with my ideas and Kristen totally worked with my way of sharing my ideas and then remembered them and set us up accordingly on the day of. Taking pictures with Kristen during the day were some of the most relaxing peaceful moments of the wedding. Her presence and direction just allows you to be in the moment and enjoy it.

Her and her husband personalities are the absolute best. Our wedding pictures are absolutely STUNNING!

Kristen is the best!!! From start to finish, she was nothing but absolutely amazing! She made both my husband and I feel comfortable in both our engagement and wedding photos even ...
though we aren't the biggest fans of being in front of a camera. She was so accommodating to my big bridal party and our big families. The morning of the wedding, she was so calm and easy going, she really made me feel at ease with all the craziness going on around me. She also was so quick with the turn around with our pictures and they ALL LOOK AMAZING! I was struck by how natural all of her photos looked when researching photographers, and I am blown away by how much this came true in my photos! I have nothing to say but the absolute best things about Kristen. I will be recommending her to all my friends for weddings as she was hands down the BEST!!

ly as well. We loved the personal interaction and genuine nature of wanting to develop a relationship with us, not just take our photos. Both Kristen and Abel photographed at our wedding and we received so many compliments from guests about their interaction throughout the night! These two did a fabulous job of catching all the candid moments and making us comfortable while offering guidance as needed. Would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

ould never know we had any trouble! She was so patient with us (and our crazy dog) during the shoot and got the album back to us in under 2 weeks, which was amazing. We are obsessed with our photos and how well she was able to capture us as a couple. I would recommend her to anyone!
Five stars isn’t even enough! Kristen and Abel were absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for anybody better!! HIGHLY recommend!!!

We absolutely loved working with Kristen for our engagement and wedding photos! She is kind, creative, laid back, and very good at her job! She did a wonderful job guiding us on ho...
w to pose while also making us feel comfortable and confident during our photo sessions. Before our wedding she had a wonderful planning form we could fill out to provide all the information she needed such as locations and the different pictures we wanted the day of the wedding. This form made the day of stress free since she already had everything she needed! On the wedding day, she brought her husband to assist and they were both incredible! They are a great team! Kristen also worked very well with our videographer which was great! After the wedding Kristen sent us a few images early that we could use on our thank you card. We loved getting to see a few pictures so soon after the wedding! Once we received all our pictures back we could not stop looking at them! Kristen captured our day perfectly! There are so many great photos, it is so hard to pick the ones I want to print! We also loved all the fun shots of our guests. This was great to see because during the wedding you miss a lot of that. I would definitely use Kristen again for pictures in the future!
Beautiful photos, punctual, reliable and helps to create a stress-free process! I would recommend Kristen for anyone’s wedding photos!
I absolutely loved Kristen. We didn't meet Kristen in person until the day of our wedding because we don’t live in the area and I felt like I already knew Kristen and felt comforta...
ble around her automatically. The main thing I looked for in a photographer was someone who didn’t force photos but would direct well when it came to photos we wanted/needed. Both my groom and I don’t love being in pictures and Kristen definitely made us feel comfortable. All of my guests days after said how great she was being everywhere at once. Also loved how we had such a variety of photos of our guests even if we aren’t in the photos as we can see things we didn’t see day off. Would hire Kristen again in a heartbeat
Working with Kristen (and her husband Abel) was a dream. We worked out my now-husband and my awkwardness about photos during our engagement session with Kristen - she's so personab...

re assisting for our wedding. He was also great to work with! We only had an hour with her before the ceremony started but she was there right on time and made sure to get the important photos in that short amount of time. We could not have had a better photographer!
My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Kristen capturing our engagement photos in Fall of 2021. She was quick to respond to our emails and was open and upfront about her s...
tyle and prices. We expected to be nervous in front of the camera, but Kristen was incredibly sweet and made us feel so comfortable. We were drawn to her journalistic style, and absolutely love how our photos turned out; timeless and natural. She was accommodating in including our puppy in photos, although it was not easy! We are so thankful to of worked with Kristen and look forward to having her involved in capturing other exciting events in our lives!
When I tell you I spent HOURS searching for the perfect wedding photographer, believe me. Not only did I wanted gorgeous wedding photos but I also wanted a person who I felt comfor...
table with and trusted to capture our big day. I was looking for a photographer that was easy to work with to help create a memorable experience and Kristen Nicole Photography was exactly that person. Prior to my wedding Kristen Nicole photography took our engagement pictures, that’s when I knew I picked the perfect photographer. From day one she was prompt with emails (which not many wedding service providers are) laid-back and always felt genuinely interested in what I was looking for. Before our wedding day Kristen made sure that everything was prepared, from where we would like to take pictures, when, and who we would like pictures with. On our wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Kristen captured every moment perfectly. When we received our wedding photos I was blown away. Every picture is perfectly edited and absolutely beautiful. Every moment from our ceremony to every detail of the reception we have pictures to remember. When there’s so many things to stress about during your wedding planning and your wedding day, when you book Kristen Nicole Photography I can promise you it will be a huge relief. You can sit back and enjoy your wedding day and know that every moment will be captured beautifully!
Kristen is such a joy to work with! She is so creative, professional, and kind. We asked her to delegate our photos and poses both with the bridal party as well as the ones with ju...
st my husband and myself - that is exactly what Kristen delivered! We are so please and would recommend her to every couple for engagement and wedding photos!
Kristen was so amazing to work with!! She took both our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I live in Cleveland and it was important to us to have some aspect of Clevelan...
d in our wedding since we were getting married in Toledo so she drove out here for our engagement photos. We had so much fun taking these photos. And then she was just so awesome to work with on our wedding day. She made it so easy to get all of the photos that we wanted. It was a long day (12 hours of photos) and it couldn’t have been better. I am blown away by how perfect our photos are. I’m running out of places in my house for our photos to go. Alysse, her assistant was amazing as well. I know our wedding party also really enjoyed working with them. She was also very responsive to my emails and questions and took time to go through all the details of the day. I highly recommend Kristen and Alysse!!
Kristen Nicole Photography is simply amazing! From the first contact, the engagement photo session, to capturing our wedding day, everything was seam-less and wonderful. She truly ...
captures such joy in all of her photos and has such talent in knowing when to capture every important moment of the day. She is very easy to work with being so kind, patient, and friendly. Her work is fantastic, she really knows what she is doing. As a bride on your wedding day it can be stressful, and Kristen and her team were so helpful. They know exactly what and when to shoot photos, working tirelessly to not miss a single moment. We could not have asked for a better, more professional photographer to shoot our special day. We are in love with all of our engagement and wedding photos, they are so beautiful. Thanks to Kristen Nicole Photography we have incredible photos to look back on as memories of our wedding day. I would highly recommend for any of your wedding or other photography occasions.
We hired Kristen (and her husband) to photograph our fall 2019 wedding. I had searched online for photographers in the Catawba Island area and knew when we saw her work online that...
her journalistic style was exactly what we were looking for and she didn't disappoint. We are so happy with both our wedding and engagement photos - they turned out better than we imagined. Kristen was flexible, responsive, professional, and passionate about her work. We definitely would recommend for any photography/videography needs!
Kristen is such a talented, creative and easy to work with photographer. From our engagement photos to the wedding day photos all of her work was amazing! Kristen and her husband h...
elped make our day so special and took such natural photos that we will treasure forever. They did an incredible job at getting all of our photos we wanted and most of the time we did not even realize they were there. I 100% would recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, she is simply the best!
Kristen is a talented, creative, kind and patient photographer. She made our wedding day completely stress-free and easy-going while capturing all of the intimate moments, stylized...
compositions and candid images of us and all of our loved ones. Kristen and her husband Abel are very non-invasive which was important to us. It was like they were never there, but never missed a moment. They are an adorable creative couple that knows exactly how to capture all of the moments. We are so happy to have worked with them... the photos are incredible memories forever!!
Kristen and her husband were amazing. They got every shot perfectly. She made us at ease allowing our photos to look natural. She went everywhere with us throughout the day capturi...
ng every moment from getting ready to cutting the cake, she even caught our random stop at Taco Bell.
We loved the open air photo booth and so did all of our guest, it was a big hit. Can’t wait to see our book she is creating.
We highly recommend Kristen, she really helped make our day perfect.
We had the most amazing experience working with Kristen and her husband Abel. They are such a fantastic team. I felt an instant connection with Kristen from the first time I met ...
with her when I was still interviewing photographers. She just was so honest and real; I knew she is in the business because she loves it. Kristen was always quick to respond and extremely helpful with any questions that I had. We really got to know Kristen during our engagement shoot. My husband is not comfortable being in front of the camera but after a few minutes she was able to get him to relax and we got some of the most amazing photos. She was able to get us to look so natural and not posed.
When it came to our wedding Kristen provided a great checklist to ensure that we captured all right formal photos and moments throughout the day. She arrived on time and ready to work to capture the best day of our lives and she did not disappoint. We had some issues with the makeup artist that caused us to be off schedule that really stressed me out. Kristen and Abel were able to remind me what my day was about and to focus on what was truly important to us, getting married. I will forever be grateful to them for that. Both Kristen and Abel requested that we went outside after dinner for some sunset photos which were not even something we thought about and they came out so beautifully. Little details like that are why I would recommend Kristen Nicole Photography to anyone looking to have a photographer to think of things you didn’t and to ensure that you are having the best day of your life. Their photos are amazing and you can see so much joy and happiness and some of my favorite phots are their candid shots.
Kristen & her husband, Abel are so truly passionate about what they do and truly enjoy it. They made our wedding day so relaxed and organized. They were not pushy at all, but they ...
were prepared and organized and had read the notes and key things we wanted from the day beforehand. Kristen was amazing to work with throughout the entire process even though we were planning a wedding from four states away. Her husband and assistant literally made our smiles genuine in all the photos with his jokes and antics. We got our photos back so quickly and we are in LOVE with them. They captured every moment of the day and the tons of candid images captured the raw emotions. Together, they are a power couple and we loved working with them. Highly recommend!
Kristen was fantastic to work with. She was such a calming force through the entire planning process and offered such professionalism. She was very responsive and really listened t...
o all of our requests while also making wonderful suggestions in order to capture all of the special moments. She and her husband worked so SO hard throughout the entire day, even our guests noticed and complimented her work ethic. As a duo, they were so fun, made the day run very smoothly, and handled our large bridal party with ease. I cannot thank her enough and we are so excited to see the finished products!
Having Kristen as our wedding photographer was the best decision. She got so many great shots and photos we love! She was super great and reliable to work with. She also is super c...
reative and has awesome photo ideas.
We hired Kristen Nicole Photography to shoot our wedding, and we cannot be happier. She was very quick to respond to all of our emails and was open and upfront about her style and ...
prices. This helped us get a really good sense of who we were booking and also helped us with planning and budgeting. Kristen was very willing to work with our budget and tailor her packages to ensure that we received exactly what we wanted. Kristen's style is very photojournalistic, which was awesome for us because she was able to capture all those beautiful and genuine candid moments. Overall, we were very impressed with Kristen's professionalism and her dedication to ensuring that our wedding was captured beautifully. We highly recommend her and would gladly book her again for our next big event.
Kristen and her husband were AMAZING! My husband and I absolutely love our engagement and wedding photos, we honestly had such a hard time choosing our favorites because they were...
all so good! Kristen was so accommodating - we had to reschedule our engagement photos due to rain and she was so great about fitting us in to her busy schedule. It rained again on our wedding day, but Kristen was so relaxed about the whole day, it helped me to relax too! She was great about just going with the flow when we couldn't do outdoor pictures, we ended up at a brewery and some of my favorite shots are candids of the bridal party just hanging out there having drinks. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
We loved working with Kristen! Since we live in Cleveland, but our wedding was in Toledo, she was willing to come out to Cleveland for our engagement shoot! She is professional, ...
easy to work with and has a great eye for what she does! I'd recommend working with Kristen for any event!

e we were ready to go for the big day. Worth every penny!
Kristen and her husband were INCREDIBLE. I love photos, especially CANDID photos and I was dead-set on finding a great candid photographer for my wedding. Lucky for me, Kristen Nic...
ole Photography not only offered the most competitive price on the NW Ohio market, but she was exactly what I was looking for! For the official photography session, she kept things moving efficiently while also capturing every photo I wanted, providing great ideas when I needed them, and then letting me take charge if I had a specific idea that I wanted. For the whole rest of the wedding ceremony and reception, Kristen was respectful while gliding in the background, snapping every photo I could ever want! She was able to get me the over 1,000 photos in less than a month, too! And the free coffee-table book is an absolute STEAL! Not to mention how flexible Kristen was when I couldn't get my choices for the coffee table book to her until 6 months after the wedding. She still treated me like I was her number 1 customer! Over all, I had (and am still having) a great experience with Kristen Nicole Photography.
We loved having Kristen and her husband at our wedding. They have great personalities, and the pictures came out beautiful!
Kristen Nicole Photography was excellent to work with. We used her for engagement and wedding photos, and wedding videography. We are so happy with each experience. She really made...
us feel comfortable. She really captures the love and emotions in her photographs. She didn't miss a single moment at our wedding. Kristen made the whole process fun and stress free! The pictures are high quality and truly wonderful!
Bottom line, our photos were amazing and everything we were hoping for. Kristen and her husband Abel were amazing to work with. Kristen met with us twice after normal work hours an...
d was very timely on the day of the ceremony. Kristen was very into relaxed pictures and made sure that she got the pictures we requested. Our venue was the Toledo zoo and the reception was in the aquarium which has some odd lighting for photos. Kristen did an amazing job making sure our photos didn’t have any weird shadows or reflections. Our photos were a great mix of showing off our unique venue while capturing us on our special day. We got our pictures back within 2 months of our wedding, which we felt was pretty fast for the busy fall season and we had over 1000 photos. I would definitely recommend Kristen to anyone and would even consider using her for future family photos. I am sure you can find cheaper, but you honestly are getting what you pay for.
My husband and I loved working with Kristen Nicole Photography. She was willing to work with us at whatever schedule we had. We had to reschedule our engagement photos three times...
because of weather and she was always quick to find another day that worked for us. When it came to taking the photos she was very open to ideas. Whatever scene or idea we had,she mad it come to life. The photos just turned out amazing.
The wedding day once again Kristen and her team were again great. The pictures came out amazing. She captured every moment that we wanted and even ones we had no idea that we would. Kristen and her team were awesome in that they were everywhere even though you never really noticed them. All the pictures were caught in the moment which we LOVE and not staged or have to stop what we were doing in order for pictures. We would recommended her for any engagement photos or weddings. The 5 star rating seems too low, I would easily give a ten!
Kristen was a blast to work with. She put us both at ease. We were both relaxed and enjoyed every moment. Our pictures were perfect and we would recommend her to everyone!
Kristen with Kristen Nicole Photography was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She did amazing work on our engagement photos. Our engagement session allowed us to get to kn...
ow her and get used to her laid back natural photography style. She was easy to work with and let us be ourselves. She was easy to contact and great about answering questions.
On our wedding day Kristen came prepared with all her equipment and an assistant to help capture every moment. She was great at helping us fill our pre-wedding time appropriately, offering advice when needed and capturing some really great candid moments. We got our pictures back in a timely fashion and were given the option of digital or cd format. Kristen was great to work with and we would recommend her to anyone that wants to capture natural photos that don't look staged. Cannot say enough great things about her business!
My husband and I are so happy we chose Kristen as our wedding photographer! We are absolutely in love with both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures- especially the picture...
s from the big day- I cannot stop looking at them! Kristen is SO easy to work with. She is laid back, easy-going, and overall just great to work with. Her husband helped on the day of our wedding- and he was amazing as well! I only have great things to say about Kristen Nicole Photography and I would recommend them 100%.
