Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. It is my job to do one thing: notice. The touch of a hand, the tear on your cheek, the way the sunlight makes your florals glow, the intricate lace in your grandmother’s veil, the belly laughs that come from friends and family reuniting to celebrate your love, the way they look at you… And so much more. It is my honor to notice and capture it all so when you look back on your photos for years to come, they look exactly how you felt in that moment.

Memories fade. Your photos, like your love, are everlasting.

“We’re all stories in the end.”

Kind Words

"Kristen is a truly gifted photographer and incredible person! I am so glad we chose her to capture our wedding day and our engagement photos! As someone who usually feels incredibly awkward in front of a camera, she made our engagement photos feel so natural. She always knows the answer to the inevitable “What do I do with my hands?” and is great at guiding you to get the most beautiful photos possible. On the wedding day, she was prepared for every detail, even things that I never would have thought of. She does so much work before the wedding to make sure that the day of, there’s not a moment missed or a photo not taken. She is also incredibly kind and could fit in with any wedding party! It’s been 7 months since our wedding now and we are still getting compliments on how beautiful our photos were. I can’t recommend her enough!"

"Kristen did a wonderful job photographing our big day. Weddings are so stressful and it’s a day full of unpredictable possibilities, but Kristen is extremely reliable. It was one less worry to have. She is a well experienced photographer, responsive, and she was on time. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the photos we received. With plenty of variety — Kristen was able to capture our most treasured moments. We are forever grateful."

"Kristen is simply amazing! She captured the most precious moments of our special day. When I look at our wedding photos, I feel as if I am reliving the experience all over again. She was pleasant to work with it and made sure to talk with me about exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. She stepped in and took over when my other photographer had to unexpectedly cancel (to no fault of her own) and made the entire process so smooth. She was a life saver and the shots she captured are priceless. I would choose Kristen Lengel Photography 1000 times over again if I could. She made our day so magical, 11/10 recommend."

"Working with Kristen was wonderful and I couldn’t imagine having worked with someone else for our wedding. In our initial meeting, she was able to synch with our vision while helping us define what we wanted, helping us to get organized with what we needed, and from then on we clicked. We got to be our true selves in the photos from our engagement photos where she got our humor from having fun with umbrellas in spite of the rain to the way we made each other laugh. On our wedding day, she helped us to take a moment away from everything for a photoshoot in the nearby ruins and got all of the shots needed to share our event. She helped to capture us, our relationship, and the moments in time that make our relationship special."
