"I honestly have no words to describe how meaningful and gorgeous our photo shoot was with Kristen Borelli. After losing my husband a few months ago, creating these candid photos with my two young daughters meant the world to us. Kristen was extremely professional, thoughtful, incredible with my children and BEYOND talented! ( I am also obsessed with her client closet!!!! ) This has to be one of my favourite shoots yet. Thank you Kristen for capturing these moments my girls and I will cherish forever! Can't wait until our next shoot together!!!"

"Kristen is amazing to work with! Doing a maternity shoot was totally out of my comfort zone, but Kristen made me feel beautiful, and empowered the whole way through. I used her client closet and let her style me, and wow is all I can say! The outfits she selected for me made the photos. She picked outfits I never would have in a 1000 years, yet they were perfect.This was such a special way to celebrate my pregnancy before my baby arrives."

"I lucked out when I found Kristen! She was amazing. Our photos are outstanding and she really listened to us and took them to the way I wanted them. I was a difficult bride! My mother in-law said yesterday, "The only problem with picking Kristen is now we have to pick which photos to frame and we can't, because love them all!!!"

"Kristen is hands down the absolute BEST! After seeing her portfolio of photos, I had high expectations when we booked her for our wedding. We just got all of our photos back and I am completely blown away. To say this woman has talent is an understatement. The entire experience from start to end, exceeded those high expectations tenfold! Aside from her impeccable attention to detail when it comes to editing, she also helped guide us and position us so that all our photos look natural and candid. It was an amazing experience with Kristen:). She made everything so effortless and beautiful, I’m still swooning over these incredible shots❤️. We will be using Kristen for all of our future professional photos. Thank you, Kris for capturing the memories of our favourite day!"

"Myself and my husband decided to have a photo shoot to capture our honeymoon together. We didn’t want anything cheesy just natural and real. Reflecting our love. We were made to feel so comfortable and given instruction of positions to capture the perfect images. We enjoyed every second of it. When we got back to England we never thought the photos would turn out as magical as they did. We were absolutely blown away. I honestly could not believe how stunning the images were and I wanted to show them off to the world. A once in a lifetime holiday captured in a way we only see in magazines. We can’t thank you enough. You don't know how happy you have made us."

"My partner and I were blown away by Kristen's customer service and professionalism. We hired her to do a maternity photo session this winter. I was nervous about doing the shoot outside as the weather is quite unpredictable in February, so Kristen found us a beautiful studio in downtown Vancouver instead. Also, Kristen took the time to help us get the right outfits for the right feel in the pictures. I wore three outfits form her customer closet, and she brought props for my partner to wear. She made both of us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and the photos turned out amazing. I am so happy we got this shoot done, and I will cherish these pictures forever."

"AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!! I really don’t have the words to tell you how great Kristen is. From the beginning she makes you feel so COMFORTABLE and relaxed. Kristen gives constant support and guidance during the shoot to create the most amazing photos!
She is very professional and WORKS SOOO HARD to produce the best photos for her clients. I can really tell Kristen loves her job and not to mention how TALENTED she is. It was such a wonderful experience for us! I need to also mention the attention
to detail Kristen puts into editing photos. She edits photos BEAUTIFULLY and is a perfectionist to make sure her clients love their photos. Overall we are so happy with our photos and can’t recommend Kristen enough. She was such a dream and exceeded
all of our expectations. THANK YOU KRISTEN!!!"

"When Kristen came to photograph our wedding she immediately became one of the family. She charmed her way into the hearts of our guests which allowed her to get the most intimate and candid shots. We highly recommend Kristen, she is passionate, talented and has an incredible energy. She made our wedding unforgettable, and with her amazing photos, we will literally never forget our day."

"Kristen did some of my recent maternity photographs. She was super helpful during the shoot in providing directions for posing and made me feel very comfortable. She also suggested a beautiful location. I wore two pieces from her client closet that were so flattering and photographed beautifully. I fully trusted her vision and my photos turned out absolutely perfect. I plan to get family photos done by her in the near future. I completely recommend her to everyone. I will cherish these photos forever, thank you again Kristen!"

"We do family photos multiple times a year but I have to say I have never loved a session more than our most recent with Kristen! Squealed and teared up looking at our images 😭😍! Kristen was amazing (and patient) with our boys and made the shoot fun for everyone! Time to go convince my husband to redo our gallery wall because I need our new pics in it!"

“I found Kristen through the internet, as I am located in the States and she is located in Canada. Being this was our wedding, I was slightly nervous having found her on the internet and being that I was unable to meet with Kristen in person before the wedding due to our locations, however we talked multiple times and she immediately made me feel like I had the made the best decision ever. Her prices are reasonable for the type of service, hard work and beautiful pictures she creates. On our wedding day, she was on time, early actually, and immediately got started which was so appreciated considering so much else was going on. She was going back and forth between my husband and my room getting ready, however she didn’t miss a thing. I was considering other photographers that had 2 photog’s included in the package, however with Kristen’s amazing skills it was like we had multiple photographers there on the day (and she did have an assistant helping). I received multiple comments from the wedding party, which was huge, how appreciated it was that she was able to control everyone and get everyone in their spots, without wasting a lot of time. So many times a photographer can lose control of the crowd, however Kristen managed this and kept control in the nicest way! She was so sweet, fun to work with and the pictures turned out amazing, in our opinion. She suggested different poses, locations to shoot, and was honest with what she thought would look good. We put our full trust in her and were so glad that we did. If you are on the fence, you will not regret hiring Kristen. She is amazing and so is her work!”

"Highly recommend Kristen! She was so easy to work with and captured everything perfectly! She is very professional, fun, and creative. She chose spots that I would never have thought of for photos and they turned out stunning! Her attention to detail really makes the difference, and she makes it fun! Thank you so much Kristen! Xx"

"From our initial interaction, Kristen was extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. I was so impressed with her professionalism and found Kristen wonderful to work with! I loved how she not only took amazing photos, but also provided her expertise in all aspects of the photo-shoot, from sourcing an amazing location to recommending and providing her fabulous closet to ensure a stress-free and camera ready experience. On the shoot, Kristen made sure we were all comfortable and was an absolute pleasure. The pictures were beautiful and would highly recommend her services!"

"There isn't enough space in this review to write about how thrilled we were with Kristen, her assistant and our photos. She was professional, prepared and extremely fun to work with. First off, our wedding was a very small, intimate backyard wedding with very tight spaces, and my husband and I are relatively shy people in front of the camera, but with Kristen's experience, and overall warm and fun personality, she was able to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and has left us with photos that are GORGEOUS and that bring back the emotions and love from the day, each time we look at them. We can't recommend Kristen enough! Thank you Kristen!"
Maple Ridge, British Columbia
"Had an awesome experience getting lifestyle photos taken by Kristen. She was referred to me by a close friend and I'm so glad that we chose her! Not only is she super talented and flexible with ever changing elements (weather and babies), but the bang for your buck is amazing. She coaches you on what to wear, how to do your make up hair/coordinate, helps you with location scouting and gives you so many photos!!! I would love to work with Kristen again and would highly recommend her services!"

“From the very first time that we met Kristen in order to discuss our wedding pictures, she was very professional and extremely kind. She was attentive to all of our needs and carefully took the time to not only get to know what we wanted, but also get to know who were were as a couple. As a result, come the big day, she was very well prepared and in tune with what it was we wanted. Everyone at our wedding, including ourselves, raved about how quick, unobtrusive, and efficient she was. As the night unfolded, she continued to do her thing without ever being demanding. In brief, she was everything and more that we could have expected. What is even more amazing is that she continued to excel in her work when we received her final pictures and awesome slideshow. We were blown away! We immediately shared our pictures with our friends and family and without fail we received the same feedback from everyone, “These pictures are amazing!” We could not have found a better photographer for our big day and we are so lucky to have had such a wonderful person capture it.”

"Kristen exceeded my expectations in every way as a wedding photographer. Her hard work ethic and strive to ensure that her clients are happy is uncanny. The photographs she took captured the most subtle emotions and moments of our day with such beauty. She has a fantastic eye for photography and every picture we got was so crisp and colourful. She was an absolute pleasure to have around, she smiled the entire day, even after 9 hours of work! She went above and beyond and made us a beautiful video slideshow which still brings tears of happiness to my eyes. I would recommend her to everyone I know! I feel so lucky that I stumbled across her website online:)"

"I want to thank Kristen for the absolutely breathtaking photos she has taken of my significant other and I! She made us feel so comfortable and told us exactly how to pose so that the photos came to life and really showed our love. She edited the photos so beautifully and gave them to us very quickly. Couldn’t be happier with our experience!"

“As soon as we got engaged and the planning began, we didn’t even have to think twice as to who we wanted for our engagement/wedding photographer. Kristen was absolutely amazing in directing us and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She truly goes above and beyond to capture the most amazing shots and we are always blown away by her work. We thought we would have to reschedule our winter engagement shoot when the ice storm hit, but instead she made it happen and truly captured the most beautiful shots when everything around us was covered in ice. Justin and I have gone to Kristen for any professional photos and will continue to use her services for years to come! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”

"LOVE LOVE absolutely LOVE Kristen!!!! From the very moment of speaking with her I knew I've made the right choice. She's fun, creative and OMG so talented!!!! She's worked so hard all day to capture our wedding day beautifully. She definitely knows how to get that perfect photo (or more than one)! Three weeks later we got the most amazing slideshow, that we just could't stop watching. Everything about it - the music, the selection of pictures, the little videos in between was perfectly put together!!! It was truly magical ♡ ♡ ♡ Thank you so much, Kristen!!!! I can't wait to do more photo shoots with you!"

"My husband and I found Kristen online and both of us were immediately attracted to her work. Choosing her was one of our first and easiest wedding planning decisions and she did not disappoint! Kristen is so professional but also extremely fun and easy to work with. She is wonderful at giving direction while also keeping things spontaneous to capture the candid, intimate moments. She is only one person but it was like there were 5 of her! She was everywhere at every moment and didn't miss a thing! All of our wedding guests are still raving months later about how hard she worked and the stunning pictures she produced. Thank you Kristen for an amazing experience and beautiful photo memories we will be able to cherish forever."

“Picture the most magical, perfect, beautiful day of your life… Your most precious friends and family surround you In a dress and tux you will probably only wear just once Love is all around you These moments will last mere hours Moments brush past you So many things you will miss Simple moments that are a treasure In my opinion there is just one gal who can capture these moments for you And save them for you forever This is the gift she gave to me and my husband We watch our slideshow and the feelings from our wedding day rush over us As if we where there in those amazing moments all over again I am in love with our wedding album These images are so incredibly dear to me Something about the way Kristen captures the people and these fleeting moments She invents these amazing slideshows of photos and video clips I have never seen anyone do this the way she does Take time to visit her web page. Watch the slideshows. You will understand what I mean. Her talent for this is immeasurable. Finding Kristen was one of the most important things we did for our special day. I have yet to watch my own slideshow without shedding happy tears. Thank you Kristen for everything. Xoxo”

“I knew that we were going to love working with Kristen from the first time we met her. At every step along the way from our engagement shoot to our wedding day Kristen was professional, attentive, and really fun! We could not be happier with how our photos turned out and I get compliments on them everywhere I go. We have heard from our closest friends and people that we hardly know that our wedding photos brought a tear to their eye because Kristen was really able to capture the moments that make your wedding day special without you even realizing that she is there. When it’s all said and done, our wedding photos are all that remain and I am so happy that we have pictures that we will be proud to show our family and friends for years to come.”

"One of the best and easiest to work with photographers! From the very start to the very end working with Kristen was an absolute pleasure. Even just going over the contract and general planning Kristen was so easy to talk to. When it came to our engagement session and the big day she knew how to instruct us and when to just let us do our thing and be natural. An absolute ninja photographer at times we barely noticed she was there but she was there at all the right times and got all the perfect pictures. My wife and I are so happy with all the pictures and our overall experience working with her we would recommend Kristen Borelli to everyone! Thank you so much Kristen for everything you do! Your pictures have perfectly captured the happiest day of our life and we will treasure them forever!!"

“Kristen did a fabulous job of catching all the moments at our wedding. I sometimes find being photographed is awkward but she made us feel comfortable and had us smiling naturally throughout the photo shoot. The photo-video she put together was fantastic; it not only included pictures but also had small clips of video. I highly recommend Kristen as she captured beautiful photos throughout the day, is completely professional, efficient and very personal! It is obvious that she has an exceptional eye for creative and beautiful photography.”

"When Mike and I were looking for a wedding photographer for our special day, we had two major priorities: We wanted to feel genuinely at ease in his/her presence, and we wanted for them to feel at ease capturing the more candid moments throughout the day-not only excel with the posed portrait photos. We had no idea what to expect when we met with Kristen Borelli a year and a half ago, all we knew is we liked the look of her photos on her website, and that she offered a reasonable rate. We had no intention at the time of doing engagement shots, or of booking so early on in our planning process. It turns out we are lucky we did, as her summer booked up super early on! The three of us sat down together for a chat, and we were immediately taken with her ability to put us at ease in her presence. She had a warm demeanour, fun energy, and professional attitude. We connected with her straight away, and not only did we walk away excited and comfortable with booking her services for our wedding day, but we even decided to try out some engagement shots after all! We were over the moon happy that we did, because they turned out so wonderfully. The photos were so creatively shot, but more than that we were able to get an idea of what it would feel like to be in front of the camera as a couple with her behind the lens. There was so much of the wedding planning process that was daunting, but having Kristen there to answer our questions and to put our trust in alleviated a lot of it. The day of our mountain wedding was beautiful, but was incredibly sweltering in 35 degree heat and no wind. I never once heard Kristen complain throughout the day, and I can't imagine carrying around a heavy camera and moving to catch every angle the way she does in that heat! We had various family members comment on her level of professionalism and moving everything along for the family photos to get it done on time but still get all the shots. We knew we would have beautiful wedding photos, but we truly didn't know to what extent until we received them soon afterward (in a very cutely wrapped package I might add!) My husband and I sat there and watched our slideshow and looked through our photos and we were out of this world happy with what we were seeing. I know people say it's important to have a good wedding photographer, but we had no idea how true it was until we saw these and were fully reliving every moment of that amazing day. The cliche is true, you really DO miss so much of it being the bride and groom and trying to make sure everything goes as planned, plus trying to be hosts! We can't imagine not having these creatively stunning photos to look back on that day. We continue to receive countless compliments on them from family to strangers! People often comment at her ability to capture life, emotion and people. We are so grateful to have had Kristen as our wedding photographer. She contributed so much to that day, and in the process she and her husband have become good friends to Mike and I both. I suppose the fact that her husband has the same name as mine hasn't hurt either :)"

"Kristen Borelli was our engagement and wedding photographer and we couldn't have been happier! The engagement session was great to get to know Kristen - we realized how easy-going, patient, and fun she was. Neither my husband nor I particularly enjoy having our photos taken but Kristen made it so easy. And they're such beautiful, amazing photographs! I think Kristen could take a great shot in ANY location. We had all of our wedding photos at one location, but it looked like it could have been three different places the way the photos were taken. Again, we are so happy with our photos and would highly recommend Kristen to be your photographer!"
