Romantic, Joyful & Timeless Wedding photography
Congratulations on your engagement! I’m Kristen with KB Photos & Design, your new wedding best friend, and capturing love stories is my JAM. After almost 7 years of photographing weddings, I specialize in serving couples who dream of colorful, joyful images that capture the most memorable day of their lives.
I love how photos have a way of taking us back to how we felt in that moment. It’s my job to provide you with beautiful images that take you as a couple right back to your wedding day over and over again.
My approach to photography has always been personable and relational, so I hope we'll get to know each other well in your journey between engaged and married. Marriage is the BEST. Let’s get in touch so I can hear more about your wedding day plans!

Planning a Destination Wedding?
KB Photos & Design is available for travel across the US and internationally. Let’s photograph every moment of your trip of a lifetime!
1. Booking Your Day
We’ll talk over phone or video chat to get to know one another and see if we’re a good fit. We will walk through pricing and package options together. Once things are booked and we’re official, we will talk in detail about your wedding day plans.
You will receive my exclusive KB Bride Guide with 45+ pages of helpful information: bridal details, gift giving, timeline tips, how to prep for your big day and more!
2. Engagement Session
Now comes the fun part - planning your engagement shoot and choosing the perfect locations! You’ll also receive my KB Engagement Session Style Guide for tips on outfit selection and more.
Little nervous about the camera? Don’t worry, I GOT YOU. I pride myself in helping everyone to feel comfortable in front of my camera. There’s usually some dad jokes involved, a few tickle fights, and maybe a little dancing on my part to bring out your confidence.
3. Timeline Planning
As your wedding day approaches, I will be available to help with anything and everything you need. About 6 months before your day, we will plan a video chat to collaboratively create a wedding day photo timeline. My brides rave that my personalized planning is an invaluable resource for them!
Then when we are just a few weeks out, we will finalize your timeline and answer any last-minute questions. That way, you can wake up on your wedding day stress free!
4. Wedding Day Coverage
Your big day is finally here! I’ll walk into your bridal suite with a camera and give you a great big hug. I will be there to capture every moment, from beginning to end - the first tears to the last dance. My promise is to capture all of the beautiful, joyful, authentic moments on your dream wedding day from start to ever after.
About 8 weeks later, you can expect to receive your digital images documenting your day in a personalized online viewing gallery that can be shared with family and friends. It’ll feel like Christmas morning!

What My Lovely Couples Are Saying
Patti & Toni
“Kristen took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She is very professional, but so incredibly down to earth it’s hard not to feel like she is an old friend. Kristen took the time to get to know what mattered to us and really cared about capturing the moments that were meaningful. Wedding days are stressful, but Kristen and her photographer were both relaxed and organized, making it easy to enjoy our big day. She really captured the love between us, our family and friends. We will always treasure the beautiful memories that Kristen gave us.” -Patti, bride
Kirk & Darby
“We hired Kristen to photograph our wedding at Lake of the Ozarks and she did an AMAZING job!! All of the pictures are exactly the look we were going for. She was so responsive, helpful, and organized throughout the entire process. My now husband even had the crazy idea to ask a guy if we could get on his boat to take a couple of pictures while we were getting sunset photos and Kristen was on board for that (literally)! She truly helped capture such a special day for us and I cannot recommend her enough!!” - Darby, bride
