crafting NOSTALGIC imagery for couples in love
from new york city
to ITALY & beyond
Hi friend
a love story
i'm so glad you made it
let's turn your memories into gold.
The Night That Brought Me To You
Inspired by studying under Master Photographers in Florence Italy, my photography style is connection based, romantic, nostalgic and dreamy. With over a decade of experience photographing in 30 countries, I specialize in crafting images with natural light, beautiful film tones and authentic emotion.

WORK WITH ME
Through a keen eye for details, refined creativity and a talent for emotional storytelling, I capture your wedding day with a relaxed approach tailored to you and this lil love you've got goin on.
It was late, it was February, and I could barely feel my fingers.
Armed with big plans to curl up under my covers with a good book, I was walking back to my little Florentine apartment after a long evening of shooting, when a still small voice in my heart interupted my thoughts with,
"Turn down that alleyway and take out your camera."
Continuing toward my well lit, warm bed, I ignored it and walked a little further, before hesitating.
There was something about this I just couldn't shake.
So pulling out my camera, I retraced my steps and headed back into the night, turning down the quiet
alleyway, just as she emerged from the shadows.
The stranger was hunched over and limping. With fists clenched, and brows furrowed she trudged toward me as if every step demanded concentrated effort. And I knew I'd come there for her.
With nothing to offer but a smile and a few broken Italian words, I waved nervously.
"Ciao, Tu Bella. Hi, you are beautiful. May I take your photo?" I asked.
Slowing, the woman looked around to see who I was talking to, before meeting my gaze.
"Me? Bella?" She asked softly, pointing to her chest.
When I nodded, she paused, straightened for a moment to beam at the camera as her eyes filled with tears. I managed to capture two shaky frames before she continued down the street, whispering. "Me, Bella," to herself as she walked.
I don't know how long I stood in that alley holding my camera.
But in that moment I was marked forever.
If I could be a part of moments like this one, I wanted to photograph for
the rest of my life.
So here we are.
xoxo, Kristine

I will haul every single grocery bag from my car to the kitchen in one trip. Are eggs and seltzers occasionally dropped in the shlepping process? That’s not important. What’s important is that I am not a quitter.

I am a confidently horrendous dancer- which Spencer and innocent bystanders will inform you, is the worst kind.
Aren't convinced? Take a quick trip to my Instagram.

Things I Love
The outdoors- (rolling hills or the beach). Catcalling Spencer while he works out. Calculating which Italian restaurant in town will supply me with the largest bread bowl.
Re-reading Tina Fey's "Bossypants".
Attempting to smuggle our neighbor's Bernese Mountain Dog puppies into our home.
Listening to the Lonely Island Pod, destroying our kitchen with a baking escapade and eating more Hagen Das Ice Cream bars than I care to admit on the internet.
