Why are we doing this?

During your wedding planning process, have you ever stopped and asked yourself, “Why are we doing this?” I’m not talking about why you’ve chosen to marry each other. I’m talking about why you’re doing all of this planning. No matter how elaborate or how humble your wedding will be, why are you putting forth all of this effort to plan this event?

Your first answer is probably to say that you’re celebrating the love you share together, and you want to commemorate the day you make that commitment official. I’m sure that’s true, but couldn’t you pull that off in a quiet elopement ceremony with just the two of you? For many of you, there’s much more to it than that.

The reason you’re actually putting in all the effort to plan this event is because your wedding day is about celebrating with the people in your lives that you cherish the most – your closest friends, family, and those friends who have become like family. It’s the time you’ve spent and the relationships you’ve created with these people that make you want to create an environment on your wedding day for everyone to share, enjoy, and remember.

Kristen’s Philosophy

While you’re taking the time to make decisions about each dinner entree, each centerpiece, and searching for that perfect venue… I understand why you’re doing it and why those decisions are so important to you. For the same reasons you’re making sure all of these details unfold exactly how you want them to, I’m there to photograph the reactions, emotions, and moments that unfold surrounding those details.

One of the most important roles that photography plays is the documenting of the relationships we have with the other people in our lives. The wedding itself is just one day, but the memories that are created that day are what will last well into the future. The photographs and albums that tell the story of your day will be around long after any of us. Providing couples with images that will remind them of all of the love surrounding them in their lives is truly what keeps my heart in what I do.

Love Notes from the Newlyweds

My husband and I are beyond grateful for the beautiful memories captured by Kristen! She was able to understand what we were looking for with ease and made our overall experience nothing short of perfect. She was super easy to work with and would definitely recommend her for anyone getting married in the near future! You will not be disappointed!

Kristen is a dream come true! Any bride can tell you that their wedding day is the best day of their life, but not every bride has a photographer that will capture your day as well as Kristen. From start to finish, she has been nothing short of amazing! I highly recommend Kristen Vota Photography to any future bride wishing to have the perfect photographer for their perfect day!

Stephanie D.

Kristen consistently went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied with everything before the wedding, in the planning, during the big day, and afterwards. Kristen is a true example of professionalism and creativity. Every image has so much detail and meaning. As a bride it is important to realize that your photographer will be with you throughout your wedding day. Within two minutes of meeting Kristen you know she truly cares about you and your event, and will be there to not only capture your day, but to celebrate in it with you. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day. We look forward to having Kristen photograph our future life events!

Kristen is the best photographer out there. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I’m pretty sure she is our new best friend! My husband and I loved working with her, she made sure everything was planned and any photos that we needed were taken. I did not have any worries with her taking photos that would happen once in a lifetime – I knew she would be on top of it and they would turn out amazing. And DAMN I was right! The photos turned out beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Any other time that I will need photos taken in my life, she will be the first person I will be calling.
