WEDDINGS
I have been photographing weddings for nine years and have photographed a great variety of wonderful unions. I handle the formal group images, the entry, the kiss, cake and toasts and will work with you to make sure the "must haves" are covered. I work in a noninvasive photo-journalistic style that leaves the guests at ease while capturing the overall spirit of the event.
Within three weeks, you will see your images online so you can easily share the images with friends and family members.
The standard fee for the day starts at $1600, beginning with formal images of the couple, family and wedding party before the ceremony and traditionally ending with the first dance at the reception or the cutting of the cake, whichever comes last. Travel outside of the DC Metro area is not included. Quotes for a significantly longer or shorter day, a second shooter or specific requests to meet your individual needs are available.
The fee includes personal reproduction rights and images will be provided via FTP upload. You then will be able to print the images as you wish.

TESTIMONIALS
We have known Kristian for over 3 years and didn't hesitate when we asked him to take photos for our multicultural wedding. Kristian was able to work in all of the elements - low light, natural light, intense humidity, and large crowds. He captured every moment of the event, including each aspect of the religious ceremony, family reactions, dancing, decor, and incredible portraits. Our guests thought of the photos as a photo documentary of the day.
Kristian was with us at the rehearsal to scope out the venue and prepare for our big day. We obtained full rights to the photos after the event, and his touch-ups of the photos were wonderful.
In addition to being an incredible photographer, Kristian was discreet and well-liked by our guests. His professionalism and patience during the multi-family portrait sessions helped make the day seamless for all.
We highly recommend Kristian for any event you have!

We hired Kristian to photograph our wedding day in July of 2010 and we could not have been happier with his expertise, professionalism, sense of humor, and adaptability... and did I mention he takes fabulous pictures?!
We chose to have a very small, intimate wedding and reception with under 15 guests. Even though the event was very small, we never felt Kristian's presence as an intrusion. He has a gift for seamlessly capturing the moment, including group shots and other arranged pictures (which we had requested) with a laid-back demeanor and sense of humor that put everyone at ease.
We also appreciated Kristian's competence and professionalism in all of our pre- and post-wedding interactions. Wedding planning can be unduly chaotic, but Kristian's prompt, helpful, and calm feedback as we planned the event - and in quickly providing us with the photos after the event - really helped to reduce our stress levels!
Last, and definitely not least, Kristian is an incredibly talented photographer. We have been so pleased with the beautiful shots that came out of the day, as have our family and friends.
I would highly recommend Kristian for your photography needs!
Kristian was our wedding photographer, and we can't imagine having anyone doing a better job. He did amazing work, capturing every important moment and even threw in one impressive swing dance with the bride during the reception. To quote my sister-in-law when she saw the pictures, "he didn't just capture images, but the emotions and personalities in every shot".
Kristian was incredibly flexible, and accommodated our preference for a candid, photojournalistic style and still managed to please all the parents with group shots as well. He created an incredibly beautiful image of our day, even bringing out the fun in the chaotic preparations. To top that off, he even matted and framed two of his beautiful pictures for each of our parents. His skills not only added to the beauty of our wedding, but stood out as one of the highlights of the day.

1. His technical skills are superior. He made a beautiful website with the photos and provided us with options to buy archive quality through regular quality prints. We couldn't be happier with his final product.
2. He took thousands of pictures which made a great batch of photos to really choose the best ones.
3. He was great with the family pictures. He took control of the process in a kind and fun way that made the grandparents happy and the angry young cousins smile for the picture. This is usually a tense time during wedding and Kristian was a mater facilitator.
4. He was never in the way of the proceedings. He was always very professional in capturing the moment and being inconspicuous.
5. His price was very reasonable.
6. I would recommend him to you and any friend who wanted to capture a special moment in their lives or experiment with artistic photography.
