Volatile Photography

We simply don't have enough words to express our thanks to Kristy. She was such an absolute joy to work with, from start to finish. My husband and I had a relatively limited budget for photography, but Kristy worked with us to make sure we could capture our wedding for the right price. She also shot our engagement session, which was a fantastic way to get to know her, and get comfortable in front of her camera (plus we got some killer photos out of the deal). When it came time to shoot our wedding, Kristy came through to capture all our special moments even though she had a the challenge of shooting our wedding on a truncated schedule. When my husband and I sat down to review all the beautiful photos, there was one after the other "frame-worthy" photograph--we didn't just have a few good shots--we had a whole photo album full of them! Kristy truly captured our happiness, while also bringing out the best of both of us (and our friends and family). She’s a lovely, warm individual who clearly has a passion for what she does, and we'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that we were able to have Kristy come photograph our wedding for us. When we were deciding who to have come photograph our wedding I had shown my mother Kristy's photographs, knowing she would not be able to photograph our wedding since we were in Arizona. My mother had loved her photos so much that she had surprised me by arranging to have Kristy come to Arizona for our wedding. I just received the picture disc for my wedding today and am beyond thrilled at how the photos have turned out. They are the most beautiful wedding photos I have seen from any weddings I have attended. Kristy was great to work with and made me very comfortable!

Gorgeous, creative, magazine quality photos that captured all the elements of this special day, from family shots, ceremony pictures, fun action shots, and all the little details from cake and rings to flowers and decor. HIGHLY recommended!

Kristy was such a pleasure to work with! As a bride planning my own wedding, I wanted vendors that I could completely trust to do their job very well with little instruction from me. (I'm a perfectionist that wants to sit back and enjoy the wedding day.) Kristy was perfect in this regard and all of her pictures were so creative and captured everything I hoped. She also photographed our engagement session and gave us a wide variety of shots and locations around the wooded seashore. We will definitely use her again to capture the next big events in our lives.

Kristy photographed our wedding this past September and she was absolutely wonderful! Her online portfolio illustrates her technical skill and amazing eye for beautiful photos -- her pictures are vibrant, and she deftly captures details and expressions. Equally impressive to me, however, was her patient, kind and cheerful demeanor that immediately put us (and our families!) at ease. Neither my husband nor I are entirely comfortable being the center of attention, and Kristy helped us relax on the big day, while keeping everything running smoothly. She is fantastic and if you're able to book her, count yourself lucky 'cause you are in very good hands!!

Kristy did our engagement photos, and I do not think they could have turned out any better! From the very beginning, she was so helpful to me in figuring out what kind of feel we wanted for the shoot, and was never hard to get in touch with. The entire day was absolutely amazing, and felt so much more like a day with friends than a "photo shoot". She really captured our personalities and our relationship in our pictures...so it was just "us" through and through. She was so amazing to work with, and I would recommend her to ANYONE who wants a creative and talented eye for their special day!

When we hired Kristy, not only did we get an extremely talented photographer, but we got an awesome person as well. We were planning a destination wedding from Manhattan to get married at Chateau St. Jean when we hired Kristy. We went on her website to look at her pictures, and were blown away at how beautiful they were. Then, when we had our conference call with her, it confirmed even further why she was the best choice. She was gracious, flexible, and spot on at making sure she knew exactly what we wanted out of our photos.
The day of the wedding, when we first met, she had a way of instantly making me feel comfortable. She was the only other person up in the room with myself and my father before we began the processional, and I will never forget those few moments and how amazing she was with me. Throughout the wedding, she was so pleasant and easy to work with...after the wedding, I had multiple guests and family members comment on how much they liked her! She has a great instinct of finding unique and beautiful shots, while capturing emotions throughout the day. She is a MUST hire! And she is a wonderful person. I look forward to seeing her when we go back out to visit!

Kristy was an absolutely amazing photographer. She has a real talent of taking stunning photos, but most importantly takes all of your feedback and direction into account. She asks really great questions to not only help you get the photos you want, but also the overall experience and expectation of the photographer's role that you have for your event. She also makes a point to get to know the venue and lighting at the location of your event if she's never photographed there before. We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and would highly recommend Kristy to anyone who is looking for someone to photograph their event.

There is an artsy playfulness as well as elegance and beauty in the work that Kristy does. She shot our wedding in August 2010, and was in fact the only photographer I ever met with; I was sold from the get-go! She was thorough in answering all of my questions during the planning process and she took the time to customize a package for us, and work with our budget. She is kind, and honest, and I think that she has a true gift for capturing emotion and energy on film. I'll certainly be using her services for future needs!

Volatile did FANTASTIC work for our wedding in Northern California. She took note of what our preferences were in our meeting and followed through with a great balance of posed and candid shots, scenery and people, still and action shots, so that we ended up with tons of great pictures to choose from. Our photographer was honest, kind, and professional and I would highly recommend her work.

My husband and I had the pleasure of booking Kristy of Volatile Photography for our September 5, 2009 wedding. She was nothing short of amazing! She captured every single moment so perfectly. Not only did she take beautiful "posed" pictures, but she also took so many great candid photos! I hardly even knew she was there. I also love that she took so many wonderful pictures of our location so we will always remember exactly what everything looked like. If you haven't had the chance to work with Kristy, I highly recommend choosing her for your next photography session! I know there will be many more photography sessions with Kristy in our future!

Very fun to be photographed by Kristy. Especially if you're camera shy like me. You really don't even notice she's taking photos... And then when she's all done, you're left with a beautiful reminder of a wonderful time.

We would highly recommend Kristy for any of your photography needs. She was professional, friendly, easy going, and simply wonderful to work with. The next time we need a professional photographer, we will only look to Volatile Photogrpahy. Kristy is fantastic!!

Kristy was the wedding photographer for my best friend's wedding, and she did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish. I recommended her to my friend solely upon seeing some of her other projects on her website, and I definitely glad that my friend decided to book her. She is professional, friendly and through out the whole procedure she was attentive to every detail. She instinctively knows and is keen on what needs/should be photographed.
She is very open to the client's wishes, and is easy to communicate. She always takes time to understand and cater to whatever the client is seeking in their wedding, photo session, etc.
Her services are affordable and one of the best I have come across. I am definitely booking her for my wedding because I want nothing but the best and I know she will deliver the best.

We loved her photo-journalistic approach; she truly captured every little detail in such a beautiful way. We get so many compliments from our friends and family when they see her photos that shower the walls of our house. We are so in love with Kristy we have since been back for her to shoot our maternity photos and then birth photos and then baby and beyond… and OMG, she just completely amazes me- true art! We will use her for years and years to come.
The value of her packages for what we got was great too!
