Testimonials
“Kristy was on time, on top of everything I had requested as far as what I wanted to photograph, provided input on poses when I couldn’t think of them off hand and also allowed me to choose poses last minute when they did come to mind. I appreciate how friendly and accommodating she was, she made it feel like she was just another extended friend at the wedding and not just the photographer. I also love how she provided so many photo options to pick from. I didn’t feel limited on my choices and every moment from my wedding was accounted for. I would recommend Kristy to any bride trying to find a hardworking, passionate and knowledgeable photographer. I absolutely love my photos and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Kristy! You’re the MVP!”
“Kristy is the most genuine magical soul that made my wedding day incredible! She did more than just take pictures. She made the day feel relaxed. Got everyone to come together and take effortless photos because of her direction and energy. We were always nervous in front of the camera but she changed that. I look back on wonderful pictures and cannot thank her enough!! She had and will forever do all my photos!”
“Kristy Velesko Photography is exactly the type of person you want photographing any life event. I first met Kristy through our venue and booked her to do my fiancé and I’s engagement photos. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease and so comfortable. She is fun and easy going and doesn’t make any posing or candid photos awkward. When I got that first set of photos back, I seriously couldn’t even believe my eyes. They. Were. Amazing. Seriously. Every edit, attention to detail and picture was quite literally picture perfect. Fast forward a few months to our wedding, and she was basically like our coordinator. Not only did she photograph the wedding, I felt like she was coordinating too. We got a few sneak peeks and again I couldn’t believe it! I had goosebumps. They were so, so good. If you want someone who is fun, laid back and will deliver on some high quality photos, Kristy Velesko is your girl!”
“I could never imagine getting my photos done by anyone else but Kristy. She not only went above and beyond to make us comfortable, but the photos we received were absolutely stunning! I will forever recommend Kristy as I know she will make many people smile not only with the beautiful moments she captures but will also make everyone smile and laugh through the whole process. Kristy we can’t thank you enough, we absolutely love you!”
“Kristy is by far the most fun and energetic person. My fiancé and I have never had pictures done and we were very nervous because we don’t typically get dressed up or love pictures of us together. That all changed when we met Kristy. We had the best time. She was the most kind and creative person. She had such an eye and was our personal cheerleader for the day. We both just instantly loved her from the first coffee date. Our pictures turned out beautiful I cried actual tears. I’m in love with all of them. Not just our wedding photographer but our go to photographer. We haven’t even considered anyone else and have been talking about all the shoots we could do with her. Thanks for coming into our lives!
