Kirsten Marie Photography

About

My name is Kirsten. I am a photographer. I'll start by telling you a bit about myself, and hope that I'll get to learn about you, too.

I work full-time as a photojournalist, covering news, fashion and adventure sports. (If you'd like, you can take a look at my portfolio here. ) I photograph a limited number of weddings per year, and would be pleased to make yours one of them.

I'm crazy for adventure. I love the unpredictability of a mountaineering expedition assignment, and the quick thinking of backstage fashion shoots. I equally love the excitement in capturing a couple's first look. I thrive on documenting the unplanned, on capturing the candid--and funny enough, I believe that weddings take the cake (pun totally intended) over editorial shoots when it comes to raw emotion and beauty.

Having photographed weddings for over six years, I know that your day is so more than just 12 hours of celebration. Since I'll be with you throughout your wedding planning process, I see the work and love that goes into each detail of your day; when the wedding date comes, my job is to give a voice to each of those details.

In the same way that no two editorial assignments are the same, neither are two weddings or two couples the same. You and your partner are unique, and should be treated as such. My job as your wedding photographer is not to manipulate your day, to pose you, or to crank out "just another wedding gig ." My job is to blend into your group, to be an observer, and to spend dawn 'til dusk capturing the moments that are happening all around you.

I want to learn who you are as a couple, and to fit organically into your day. I've ended wedding shoots by dancing with the bride and groom, celebrating alongside of my clients, and others by editing the night away. I look forward to getting to know you, and to giving you professional coverage that highlights who you two are.

Your wedding day will be a beautiful whirl. I want to document all of your day's details--from the big to the teeny-tiny--in a way that you'll treasure for the rest of your lives together.

It would be a pleasure to help tell your story. I would very much look forward to working with you.
