KLK Photography (Kristi Klemens)

WOW is all I can say about Kristi and her amazing talent! We hired her immediately after meeting with her because her bright personality just fit with us right away. We just received our engagement photo teasers back and they are so awesome! Kristi is such a great artist. We absolutely can not wait to see what she does for our wedding in October! Kristi is, by far, the best investment we've made for our wedding! I HIGHLY recommend this photographer!

UPDATED review:
Our wedding has now passed and we've received our teaser photos from Kristi and I continue to be amazed by her! She is so, so talented and hard working. She worked tirelessly throughout the wedding and was everywhere all at once. But I can honestly say that I don't remember seeing her much during the wedding...a good thing! :) She caught every moment but we didn't even notice she was there - she's that good! I would, without a doubt, recommend Kristi as a photographer. She is sweet, energetic, talented, and a perfectionist. We love Kristi! :)

UPDATED UPDATED review (12/16/08):
We just received our photos from Kristi and I can not tell you how completely blown away I am!! The emotion and beauty that she captured of our wedding day is amazing! Everyone that has seen the photos says they feel like they actually attended our wedding after looking at them...that's how real they are! I can not recommend this photographer enough...her talent, kindness, and enthusiasm for her work is outstanding!!

Kristi is so creative and talented. She did our trash the dress photo session on our anniversary day. We had so much fun doing the session with her. She was really nice and knew exactly what kind of pictures we wanted. She drove us around to five beautiful locations and we got a lot of amazing TTD pictures. We are so happy with the photos and we highly recommend Kristi. Thanks Kristi

This girl has MAD talent!!! We Love our Photo's! WOW we are really impressed and so is all our family and friends.
You know when you have a feeling about someone? Well we knew the moment we saw Kristi's work and drive to succeed that we had made a FABULOUS decision in booking her for our wedding day photog. She makes me want to see things the way she does. All I have to say is the proof is in the pictures. She is AMAZING! Oh and wait till you hear her laugh....so adorable!

I had my B-pics done with Kristi. All I can say about Kristi is that she is so full of talent and spunk! She was so professional and so fun to work with. She has great energy and you can just tell she is a perfectionist with every shot she takes. My photos turned out wonderful!I would recommend Kristi for all pictures and all occassions.

Kristi was our second shooter for our wedding and we were blown away with her ability to capture our event without feeling like we were being directed or our space was being invaded on. She's down to earth and was a joy to talk to. We cannot recommend her & our main photographer (Serena of Serene Image Photography - both were originally second shooters for Digital Studios) enough! We received all of our professional pictures this last weekend and the attention to detail and the little moments that we hadn't even realized were happening just blew us away.

Kristi of KLK Photography was fantastic! Our original photographer canceled on us later than I would have liked so we sort of ended up with Kristi on accident…maybe things to happen for a reason because I couldn’t have been happier. We love all of our pictures and Kristi couldn’t have been sweeter or more professional. The style and variety of the pictures were great and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful person Kristi is. Not only did our friends and family love the pictures (all 1300 she and her second shooter took!) but they actually thought she was someone we knew personally before the wedding because she was so friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend KLK Photography to anyone.

Kristi Klemens is truly amazing! My husband (fiance at the time) and I both agreed that photography was #1 on our list, so we searched high and low before we finally found Kristi. After meeting her in person and seeing her work we had no doubt we found our wedding photographer. We loved working with her! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and that's coming from a camera shy person! We loved that she had so much fun behind the camera and was always so excited and eager to start shooting. If you're looking for an artistic, talented, upbeat, sweet, hard working, and passionate photographer - Kristi is your girl! She's a very busy girl, so if she's the one I suggest you book her early.

We <3 Kristi!

Kristi Klemens was one of the best decisions I made when I decided to go with her to capture my wedding day. The 2 most important things I looked for in a photographer was a great photographic eye that could capture all the important moments in a pure artistic way, and secondly someone I could work well with. She’s a total sweetheart and so easy to work with. Her sweet and hard working personality is a huge plus on top of the beautiful pictures she produces. My husband (who is a photography nut) and I love the wedding pictures we recently got back from Kristi and Duane (our 2nd shooter). They captured all the right moments, and friends and family have called and emailed to let us know how much they enjoy looking through our wedding pictures.

For me, photography was THE most important part of the wedding process. What is the point of spending tons of money on all aspects of your wedding if it’s not recorded properly? Kristi gave us beautiful pictures to work with, and I could not be happier! Even better, there is so much to choose from for our album, it’s fun to go through them when you have so much to work with. I’ve highly recommended her to friends who have upcoming weddings and I highly recommend her to anyone that’s looking for fantastic pictures with great service. Thanks for everything Kristi!

I don't even know how to put into words just how wonderful Kristi Klemens is! She traveled to St. Lucia for our wedding and provided us with 4 days of beautiful pictures that we will always cherish. The quality of her work is exceptional and I have never seen wedding photos as beautiful as ours. I have friends who had gotten married before us that said they wished their wedding was after ours so they could've stolen our photographer! I feel bad because they liked their pictures until they saw ours!

Kristi was always in the right spot at the right time. There were moments that I cannot believe she captured because they happened in a split second and the pictures were just stunning! Every emotion my husband and I felt, as well as our guests, was reflected in our pictures.

On top of her phenomenal work, Kristi is just an awesome person. She blends into a group very easily, but always remains professional--a very tough line to walk. It was quite impressive! She is super sweet and so pleasant to work with.

I highly highly highly recommend Kristi Klemens to anyone who is looking for a photographer. Whether it's for a wedding, engagement shots, pregnancy pictures, or any important event in your life. Her work is a step above the rest and I promise you will be super happy with your choice. Thank you for EVERYTHING Kristi!

Dear Future KLKphotography Clients,

Kristi Klemens is an amazing photographer. On our wedding day Kristi really captured all that I wanted and more. You will feel so lucky to have Kristi there on your very special day because all the moments of the day will be captured beautifully and with amazing detail. The photos will go beyond what you imagined. Kristi comes up with fun shots for the formal shots that are not traditional but filled with the personality of her clients and location. She also does a wonderful job documenting the entire day. Kristi’s night shots are more than amazing but WOW!!!! Kristi was our first and only photographer that we saw because of her wonderful personality and of course her gift of capturing the life of the wedding made the choice easy. Even after the wedding day Kristi will go beyond her job to personalize her work to her clients. After the wedding she makes you a slide show of some of your wedding photos to music which will make you cry tears of happiness.

Love,
Miriam Shimazu

i really like this place.they have amzing service and very nice photos

kristi takes the clearest, sharpest photos ever, she is so talented and never takes her finger off the take a picture button, you could make a vidio of events off of her disc:) everyone should use her and tip her well, she is way too underpriced for her talent:):):):

Kristi is an amazing photographer! We really could not be happier with the photos from our wedding and our engagement shoot--they are unique, artistic, beautiful. Not only is Kristi extremely talented, but she is also very easy to work with. It was important to us that our photographer blend in with our guests and friends because we've been to weddings where the photographer basically orders everyone around--well, Kristi was so friendly and easy-going that most of our guests assumed she was a friend! Of course, we still wanted her to get wonderful pictures of moments we remembered and moments we might have missed--and she more than surpassed our expectations on that count as well! I don't know how I'm going to pick among the photos she sent--they are all so good! Any photographer can take one excellent photo--Kristi gave us hundreds of excellent photos! Best of all, Kristi really listens to you and works with you. We didn't want that many pictures of us--we wanted her to focus more on getting lots of pictures of our guests having fun. We figured we'd sacrifice getting that amazing picture of us, but we didn't have to--Kristi was able to get lots of beautiful pictures of us and then, as we wished, get lots of great pictures of our guests as well. We also had a fairly untraditional wedding and, unlike some vendors we talked to, Kristi was completely excited about our ideas, and made sure to get lots of pictures of the different things we incorporated that were special to us (she brought two wonderful assistants to make sure she didn't miss anything). The best recommendation I can give is that everyone who sees the pictures says, "wow, you had a wonderful photographer"! And I feel proud for finding her! Kristi is fantastic--I'd recommend her to anyone (I've already recommended her to a friend for whom I'm going to be maid of honor in a few months).

I cannot express how much my hubby and I love working with Kristi. We booked her early in advanced for our wedding because after looking at her portfolio, we knew she would be snatched up right away. Her sense of artistic style and fun personality was exactly what we were looking for. We already used her 3 times (engagement, wedding and trash the dress session) and was blown away every time. Photos are truely memorable and Kristi captured every moment of it.

Advice for all the beautiful brides out there...BOOK HER NOW...she's the best! Thanks Kristi!

Just have my boudoir picture session done with Kristi Klemens. She editted the pics right after the session and emailed them to me on the second day. The pics turn out to be so AWESOME after her edition. She really is an artist and portrayed the innocent yet sexy feeling that I wanted. Taking b-pic with her is definitely the best choice I've made.

She has a home studio and can get almost any themes that you want. (I liked to have a Japanese theme and she especially bought a wooden room divider and a victorian couch for me). Her style is different from most of the b-pics I saw by other photographers, and I really like her style. She made me look like a model in fashion magazines. She is very creative, talented, energized, and sweet. I changed my outfits about 6 times and had many requests, and she was happy to did all of them (our session was like 4 hour long and could be longer if I wanted).

I was debating if I wanted to take boudoir pictures previously, but now I'm happy that I did it and especially I'm very glad that I chose Kristi to shoot the boudoir picture for me.

If you do not have a photographer yet...you can stop looking! Kristi did a fabulous job with our wedding pictures. We were both very pleased not only with her work but also with her professionalism and great personality. Kristi is VERY good at what she does and she is very flexible and accomadating, which is every bride's dream photographer! Everyone that sees our wedding pictures are very impressed, we don't even have to recommend her because her work speaks for itself. Check out her website!

To Whom It May Concern,

Kristi was our photographer for my outdoor wedding in July of 2007. She did an amazing job. Here photos were absolutely brilliant. My bride and I want more artistic photos and she delivered. I can't say enough about her, she is a very talented individual. Every person who has seen my wedding photos can not believe the are wedding photos, they look more like art. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting an artistic and creative photographer. One more important thing that I don't think consider is a photographer presence at the wedding. During the ceremony and the reception, I didn't even notice her. She was never in the same spot, she was also running around taking photos from different angles. I have been to other wedding where the photographer will disrupt the reception in order to get photos. Not Kristi, she works around everyone and captures moments as they happen. All I can say is she will capture every moment and detail of your wedding and present it in an creative package.

Kristi Klemens truly has a special talent! My husband and I got married in September 2009 in Sydney Australia. We simply could not go past Kristi, even when compared to local talent in Sydney. kristi's professional and amazing eye for detail truly captured the atmosphere of our wedding day. Since showing friends and family the beautiful photos, the comments have been unanimous "wow I have never seen wedding photos as beautiful as these" "OMG who was your photographer, they are truly gifted"

Thank you again Kristi, for capturing such beautiful memories for Omari and I that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

I would recommend Kristi Klemens 100 times over than any other photographer!

If there were more stars, Kristi deserves it. I was recently married, but before that, I had asked around for any recommendations from friends and families for a wedding photographer. None seem to like their photographers that much. Some were too pricey and others, they just didn't get what they wanted. I guess I have to consider myself lucky because then I had to go out on my own and found Kristi.

My friend and I interviewed Kristi and we LOVED her work. Then we love her even more as we got to work together. She's so nice, fun and very hard working. The wedding photos she shot for me captured pictures as I imagined they should be. Heck, I don't think of myself as a pretty person, but darn those photos I received from Kristi,...well, I can't help but share them. To me, they are magazine quality and people who have seen them all said the same thing. Her editing is also very flattering. It's so funny that my friends have photo envy because mine is so great.

For anyone who is looking for samples of her work, you're welcome to look at my wedding photos at klkphotography.com/blog. Mine is Trang and Justin. I don't know, I just wanted to write a review so people can have the same satistisfaction I have with Kristi. I really can't say enough to explain what a great person and a terrific photographer she is.

Dear future photography client,

We would like to recommend Kristi Klemens as the photographer for any special event you have planned. Kristi photographed a very special event for us in August 2006 - the baptism and naming ceremonies for our twins.Many family and friends commented, as did we, on how great she was to work with on what turned into a very long day, which stretched from 11 am to 11 pm, Her sweet and unobtrusive nature fit in perfectly with the intimate mood of the occasion. Her warm and charming demeanor allowed her to interact with the guests to capture all of the important moments of the two celebrations.

We have exceptional pictures of all aspects of the ceremonies and reception: formal photos before and after the church baptism, the baptism ceremony itself, the later naming ceremony at our house, our guests, toasts, formal family pictures, beautiful portraits of our twins, close ups of the special elements of the event (food, flowers, baptismal certificates) etc.

Kristi has a very special gift that is evidenced in her work - she is able to capture the essence of her subjects. She did an amazing job framing the photos and using special effects to capture the magic of the moment. Several look like commercial photos from a magazine shoot! She caught us not only in "the moment", but in many little moments, as well. And she did it in a way that was timeless and yet unexpected. She enabled us to have a better sense of what the events were like, as a whole, since the day itself went by in somewhat of a blur.

The best investment we made that day was for Kristi's services, because now we can be reminded of the spirit and happiness of the occasion any time we want.The pictures were more beautiful than we could have ever hoped for. We would unconditionally recommend Kristi to anyone trying to capture the special moments of an important event.Best wishes in your planning of your special event. Our hope for you is that you hire this very talented woman, whose photos have the rare ability to capture the joy contained in your heart.

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is our personal recommendation for Kristi Klemens. Kristi took photographs of our engagement session and most importantly, our wedding. Her quality of work and professionalism are exceptional.

Throughout our wedding planning process, my wife and I were having difficulties finding the right photographer, as we were seeking a certain artistic style, and not just a person who took regular pictures (which we found most “wedding” photographers to have). When questioned about their work, these photographers became very defensive and had told us that it was impossible to find the style we were looking for in a wedding photographer. They were correct, until we met Kristi.

Kristi’s work proved to be more than what we could ever have imagined! Her pictures captured every emotion in our special day, from nervousness and excitement, to the tears of joy, to the crazy festivities of the reception. It was amazing to see the amount of pictures she took because she was barely noticed by our guests, yet somehow, she captured everything and everyone with her camera. Her work is so beautiful that the images she took can be used in greeting cards – we actually used some for our thank you cards.

Kristi was also very professional in her work. Her bubbly personality made it very easy to convey anything, unlike other photographers we met who had bigger egos than most professional athletes. She willingly took the shots we wanted, but knew when (and how) to advise us of her opinions in making the pictures look better. In short, we were completely at ease with her, yet confident that she would do an amazing job – which of course she more than did! And although the reception ran longer than planned, Kristi was flexible enough to stay longer than what was originally agreed upon, without giving us a hard time about extra hours and/or costs.

It was truly a pleasure and blessing to have Kristi as part of our wedding! She played a monumental role in making it a very special and memorable day. We will definitely seek her again for our future endeavors, and would happily recommend her to anyone that needs a photographer. We guarantee that they will not be disappointed.

Sincerely,

DJ and Nerissa Yuhico

Kristi is one of my dear friends and a very talented photographer. I met her when I was just starting out as a wedding photographer and have been in awe of her talent since then. She has a well developed eye and is incredibly talented. I am honored to know her and thankful for every time I get to shoot with her! She ROCKS!
