“Absolutely thrilled to share our experience with our amazing wedding photographer, Kristy Velesko! From start to finish, Kristy displayed exceptional communication skills, ensuring that every detail was perfectly planned, and answering all my emails and questions so promptly. Her energy and friendliness were contagious, making everyone feel at ease and adding a special spark to our day. Everyone in my wedding party loved working with Kristy! Kristy’s vast knowledge about weddings was invaluable. She anticipated our needs and had creative solutions for everything (like how do I go to the ladies room in a HUGE ballgown - she knew!). Her artistic talent truly sets her apart; she photoshopped a stunning castle into our wedding photos, making our fairytale dreams come true! Not all photographers have this additional skill set! One of the standout moments was Kristy’s ability to be the “bad guy” for us, especially when managing the bridal party. She expertly directed the groomsmen, ensuring everyone was in the right place at the right time. Especially when my groom gave them all lightsabers as gifts, you can assume the craziness that ensued! But everyone loved her even if she had to be bossy with them! A highlight was how impressed Disney’s Fairytale Weddings team was with her work. They couldn’t stop raving about her professionalism and the vibrant, beautiful photos she captured. Kristy truly has a gift for photography, and we are beyond grateful for the magical memories she created for us. We have since asked her to do family portraits and since I had 3 wedding gowns (Yes, 3!) - we had her do more portraits. They were all so gorgeous! Haven’t had a bad photo and I love how she knows exactly the directions to give us to get the best photos! Highly recommend her for any special occasion! ”

“Kristy is definitely one of the best! If you want an experience catered to you, Kristy is your girl. From the very start, Kristy was attentive to everything we were wanting and during the day of when stress got the best of me, Kristy made decisions she knew we’d want. She was able to capture our elopement and reception just the way we wanted”

“Why have a wedding day coordinator, when you can have Kristy??? I hired Kristy knowing the work would be phenomenal, but did not know how she ran the show! I had a day of coordinator who was also my florist. Girl, was no where to be found when I needed her and asked me too many question day of that I repeated told her to ask my made of honor. When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T! She made friends with the other vendors, kept everyone on a schedule, and helped me feel utterly calm on a stressful day. HIRE. KRISTY. Her quality is great, delivery is timely, and she knows the workings of your day no matter how simple to complex your wedding day is.”

“Kristy was on time, on top of everything I had requested as far as what I wanted to photograph, provided input on poses when I couldn’t think of them off hand and also allowed me to choose poses last minute when they did come to mind. I appreciate how friendly and accommodating she was, she made it feel like she was just another extended friend at the wedding and not just the photographer. I also love how she provided so many photo options to pick from. I didn’t feel limited on my choices and every moment from my wedding was accounted for. I would recommend Kristy to any bride trying to find a hardworking, passionate and knowledgeable photographer. I absolutely love my photos and I will cherish them for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Kristy! You’re the MVP!”

“Kristy is the most genuine magical soul that made my wedding day incredible! She did more than just take pictures. She made the day feel relaxed. Got everyone to come together and take effortless photos because of her direction and energy. We were always nervous in front of the camera but she changed that. I look back on wonderful pictures and cannot thank her enough!! She had and will forever do all my photos!”

“Kristy Velesko Photography is exactly the type of person you want photographing any life event. I first met Kristy through our venue and booked her to do my fiancé and I’s engagement photos. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease and so comfortable. She is fun and easy going and doesn’t make any posing or candid photos awkward. When I got that first set of photos back, I seriously couldn’t even believe my eyes. They. Were. Amazing. Seriously. Every edit, attention to detail and picture was quite literally picture perfect. Fast forward a few months to our wedding, and she was basically like our coordinator. Not only did she photograph the wedding, I felt like she was coordinating too. We got a few sneak peeks and again I couldn’t believe it! I had goosebumps. They were so, so good. If you want someone who is fun, laid back and will deliver on some high quality photos, Kristy Velesko is your girl!”

“I could never imagine getting my photos done by anyone else but Kristy. She not only went above and beyond to make us comfortable, but the photos we received were absolutely stunning! I will forever recommend Kristy as I know she will make many people smile not only with the beautiful moments she captures but will also make everyone smile and laugh through the whole process. Kristy we can’t thank you enough, we absolutely love you!”

“Kristy is by far the most fun and energetic person. My fiancé and I have never had pictures done and we were very nervous because we don’t typically get dressed up or love pictures of us together. That all changed when we met Kristy. We had the best time. She was the most kind and creative person. She had such an eye and was our personal cheerleader for the day. We both just instantly loved her from the first coffee date. Our pictures turned out beautiful I cried actual tears. I’m in love with all of them. Not just our wedding photographer but our go to photographer. We haven’t even considered anyone else and have been talking about all the shoots we could do with her. Thanks for coming into our lives!

“We love Kristy! Taking photos with her is the best. It’s like having a friend you’ve known your whole life taking your wedding photos! She is so friendly and inviting, the time goes by so fast. We have chosen her for all our big family moments and will continue. So not only is she amazing, her photos are perfect!”
