Kristen Schueler is nothing short of amazing. We loved her and Adam from the very moment we met…read morethem, and we knew they were the ones we wanted documenting our wedding day. She is very professional and organized and worked so hard to be prepared for every shot that she was going to take. Indeed, her work goes way beyond the wedding day itself, and it was clear she was dedicated to getting everything just right. After our engagement session, we knew there was nothing we needed to worry about, as far as photography was concerned, and we spent the months before our wedding confident that we'd have beautiful photos no matter what. On the wedding day, she and Adam went above and beyond for us: arriving early, leaving late, researching shots in advance, doing us a million favors that are outside the job of any photographer, and in general, just adding to the spirit and enjoyment of our day.
Kristen has an undeniable talent for finding the beauty in everything and bringing it out in incredible photos that anyone would treasure. There are lots of talented photographers, but Kristen has a unique ability to capture emotions and real "people." She also has a real skill with lighting, and it shows when you compare her work to others. If you want an artistic photo of the bride lying in her dress in a bathtub looking like a photoshopped model or an abstract shot of the altar with the bride and groom faded out in the background, well that's cool--I'm sure she'll take those shots for you. But, if you let her do her thing, she'll create beautiful timeless photographs of you, just as you are. When you look at these photos years from now, you'll remember everything you were feeling at each exact moment. And when your children see them one day, they'll see that you are beautiful.
Hiring Kristen to do our wedding photography was, hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding. Of course, we had a great venue, hair, makeup, and dresses and weather...but if any of those things had gone wrong, it wouldn't have mattered because Kristen was there. Wedding photography is a business, but it's personal. You want to have someone you can trust, someone who understands what you are looking for, and who will find the natural beauty and joy that happens on your own unique wedding day. Besides the groom, there was no one else I was happier to have by my side for 10 hours on my wedding day than Kristen Schueler. We can never thank her enough and consider her as a friend now. Thank you, Kristen!
