I can't say enough good things about Kristy. Not only is she a consummate professional, she is also…read morean extremely kind person.

Kristy is simply the best…read more My husband & I have been following Kristy's work since 2004. When we got engaged the one thing we were already for sure on was our photographer! It had to be Kristy. We were lucky enough to set a date far enough in the future to ensure her availability. We used her for our engagement photos and were so happy with them! The images are sharp, clear, and vibrant. We had tons of compliments on them. It was great to use her for our engagement photos because it gave us a chance to get comfortable with her taking our photos, though it doesn't take much much since Kristy makes you feel comfortable. She made us laugh and get excited about our wedding. Then came the wedding and she was such a huge help on the day of! She made us feel so special and was great at guiding us and getting the best shot. I didn't even hear her camera make a sound during the ceremony once, yet she captured so many beautiful images. Of course we ran behind schedule and she was still able to fit in plenty of pictures of our bridesmaids/groomsmen & family photos quickly! After the ceremony we barely even noticed she was there! She blended in well and we never felt like she was in the way. The night before at the rehearsal she scouted out spots for photos, shared her opinions and expertise. She's very professional, responds quickly to e-mails, and will work with you on whatever you want; ie locations & including your pet! I'm SO happy she was our photographer. The final wedding images are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I'd definitely recommend Kristy. I really feel that she's one of the best photographers in the entire area. You're very lucky if you get to use her services. I'm looking forward to her photographing any future events in our lives. :)

100000/5 stars if I could!…read more From the moment I met Amanda I knew our photoshoot was going to be amazing. I came from a past of not the greatest photographers which made me loose my spark in getting photos done to cherish special moments / people... but then Amanda knocked me off my feet with her special talent. She is fun to work with and so kind, professional, and a sweetheart. I will definitely be booking more sessions with her! She will Not disappoint you. Her talent goes above and beyond with every LITTLE detail ( which is SO important in photography). Thank you Amanda for giving us the gallery of our dreams!

Our family traveled from Wisconsin to California to be part of my brother and his beautiful wife's…read morewedding in 2022. It was so beautiful and such an intimate wedding. Myself, my husband, and our 9 month old son were all in the wedding party. As you can imagine, I was so excited to be able to see all the pictures that were taken. After all, it's not like we were able to take pictures during the ceremony or during all those special moments. People even say it's rude to take pictures during weddings, that's why you pay sooo much money for a photographer, right?! Well, after returning home, we learned the heartbreaking news that Amanda did not back up any of the photos on her computer after deleting them from her camera, her computer crashed, and you can guess what happened....ALL of the photos were GONE!! Who doesn't back up their work?! These are irreplaceable moments. This is so inexcusable and downright terrible business practices. But you want to know the cherry on the top of it all?! She refuses to give my brother and his wife their money back!!! She even had the gall to tell them that she'd only give them their money back if they would take down their review!!! We've bitten our tongues for a long enough. Save your money and do not trust this irresponsible photographer with your most precious moments. I understand things happen, but she has not handled this in any sort of professional way. This is honestly the most absurd thing that I have ever heard of and your actions for not backing up your work and how you've handled everything since have been egregious!!! They have been more than patient for the last two years, trying to recover photos and figure out a way to get this rectified and have not received anywhere close to an acceptable resolution. You would get zero stars if I was allowed. And I will post this all over again if I have to. Do not trust Amanda Marie Photography!!

My husband and I rarely take professional photos and I was afraid that I was going to look awkward but she made this awkward girl look SO good. She let us have have fun with natural poses but also had a lot of prompts to help us. Come wedding day, she was super efficient and knew how to gather my huge family to take photos. I also had a lot of different request and she got all of them without feeling rushed for the next photo. Besides her amazing photography skills, Maddie is a presence you need during a wedding. She was calm and collected while also being fun and down to do whatever!! There were a few moments where I was stressed and she was definitely the confidant I needed. I cannot say thank you enough to Maddie for not only capturing mine and my husbands day so perfectly, but for being the most wonderful person while doing it. I will be using her soon for other photos in the future! Take this as your sign to have the absolute privilege of having Maddie capturing your big day!!!

Usually when you think of photoshoots, you think of the awkward time in front of the camera so naturally, you're a bit nervous. My husband and I were comfortable immediately and laughed possibly for the WHOLE entire time in front of the camera. She knows the exact tips and tricks to get you out of your shell to capture real, raw moments and she did exactly that. Her work has such a beautiful touch to it, if there was one word to describe the feeling I get when I see our pictures, it would be "love". I can't thank her enough for capturing the moments that are going to last a lifetime. We're currently setting up another photoshoot just for fun because I loved the first one so much. 100% recommend, you will NOT be disappointed! The wedding pictures were beyond our expectations and they were so very beautifully. They were also so easy to access! She sends you a little gallery that is easy to log in to and download your photos! HIGHLY recommend her!!

As I grow closer to my 40th birthday, I finally decided to give myself (and my husband) this gift. After years of sporadic searching, I finally found Christina and Elle Division. She is everything you want in a photographer, especially this kind of work. With her fun energy and the support of a BFF, I felt instant comfort and confidence right out of the gate. The moment she turned that camera around and showed me, ME...I knew that this was an experience I would never forget. Wow! Today I walked away from my photo viewing and I am SO. Proud.Of myself! I cannot wait to share these with my husband, who already sees what these images and Christina helped me see. I cannot be more happy and grateful to have found Elle Division. I would 100% do this again. Don't wait or sell yourself short! You will not regret it.

We met her at a cafe in the Presidio district, and as soon as we met we knew we'd found "The One" (photographer!!) She was super sweet and listened to all of my crazy concerns (lots of kids at my wedding, not a set place yet, evening/night wedding, etc) and she eased all my worries! Let's just say, Meghan and her husband are an AMAZING team!! They were very unintrusive when they were taking pictures as we were all getting ready, and I didn't even notice them during the ceremony! The crazy thing is Meghan's husband was up on some big rock to get stunning photos during the ceremony -- my husband called them "sniper shots" because they were just that pristine, clear, romantic, soft ...everything we'd hoped they would be!! They were so professional and understanding when my husband and I explained to them our budget situation, and they were very accommodating and gave us an amazing deal!!! My husband and I are SO VERY grateful to Meghan and her husband with all the shots they got at our wedding, and I LOVE how they were so fast to capture all of the greatest moments and those moments that we would've never remembered!! THANK YOU MEGHAN!! You made our day truly unforgettable, and we will forever cherish the amazing pictures and memories you were able to capture!!!!
