The perfect wedding photographer

Firstly, we could not recommend Kirstin highly enough. From the start, she was very responsive and professional in her communications. On the day itself, she really went above and beyond, not only snapping countless stunning and special photographs, but also providing a helping hand. It was like having another lifelong friend there - a comment which all of the bridal party and many of the guests also made. When the weather allowed, Kirstin whisked us away in her car to our chosen shoot locations. She did an amazing job at guiding us on how to stand and move, and the resulting photos are stunning - we can't believe they are us! Throughout the entire day, she managed to take so many natural, happy photos of our family and friends, which was important to us. She delivered the gallery extremely quickly as well. I am not sure how she did it all, but she did, and we are so grateful for it.

Engagement and Wedding shoot.

Kirstin was amazing throughout our shoots and always had ideas of where we should go and how to stand etc. Always positive and enthusiastic making us feel so special! Cannot believe how quick she delivered our gallery. It was the next day! Would definitely recommend.

Best photography we've ever had and her 'professional-friendly-flexible style' is what everyone needs especially on your first time doing photography

We had an amazing experience with Kirstin from the time we met her virtually up to the days after the wedding. I would highly recommend to all.

We loved how she was open and supportive to our untraditional way of getting married and helped us throughout the day.
She never left our side from the beginning to the end which gave her the chance to capture the best and magical moments of this special day.
Her relaxed and friendly approach made us feel comfortable and we went through the photography naturally and smoothly without compromising the quality of the photos.
And with it being an intimate wedding, it genuinely felt like she was part of the family too.

No need to look elsewhere, Kirstin is the real deal!

From the moment we ‘met’ Kirstin over FaceTime, there was an instant connection between the three of us, and we knew that the day of our wedding was going to be special. What we didn’t know was that Kirstin was going to become such a central part to the whole day. Not only did she take the most beautiful photographs that captured the spirit of the entire day, but she also added to every part of it. It was like spending time with a friend. We laughed, we cried, and the entire session was pure joy from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend her enough and are constantly thinking of what we can do just to have the excuse to have her come take pictures again. Thank you, Kirstin.

Antonio -Watson wedding

Kirstin was fantastic to work with, we spent time together a few days before hand so she could get to know everyone, and our peedie dog.
She memorised all the names, who was who, and what we wanted.
Kirstin went above and beyond to help us on the day, even taking us to a separate location for photos.
Cannot thank you enough, you made everyone feel at ease as if we had known each other for ages.
