    We had a wonderful experience working with Kristen! She captured the joy of the day so vividly. These are photos we and our guests will always treasure. I highly recommend working with Kristen. She is kind, fun, and inciteful. She'll work with your ideas in making the photos special to you and your venue, as well as highlighting you on your special day to look your very best and capture those natural, smiling moments!

    Kristen was extremely easy to work with and my wedding photos came out beautifully! To start, she was responsive and friendly over the phone; I felt like I had known her for years. When we met in person prior to the event, she was flexible in the meeting place and time and was punctual. On the day of the wedding reception, Kristen was early to the venue and all set up, ready and waiting for us. She captured so many beautiful shots and really did an amazing job chronicling such an important day that seemed to fly by. A little more than a month after the wedding, I received the full gallery with close to 700 photos. Some of the portraits were a bit over exposed in my opinion (it was an extremely bright but overcast day in a field, which led to some very bright shots!) but Kristen quickly corrected them to my liking and now they are perfect (It's really all subjective, but what I'm trying to say is that Kristen was adaptive and willing to correct according to my preference)! Overall, I would definitely recommend Kristen's services to anyone in search of a down-to-earth, friendly wedding photographer who does an amazing job at an affordable price.

    Kristen was absolutely amazing! She captured every moment that was important to us. The pictures are so beautiful and colorful. She made everyone feel so comfortable and we had a great time hanging out with them. She is so responsive, caring, and understanding. She is just so talented, I could not say enough good things about our experience. She got all of our pictures to us before she even said they would be done. Love her!

    Kristen was really great to work with, she's warm and funny and really knows what she's doing. She made us feel comfortable even as we were on an emotional rollercoaster, and got a ton of amazing pictures despite NJ August heat and humidity (trust me, we were beyond sweaty and you can't even tell). She was also super helpful with planning our timeline - her expertise on the whole wedding day process guided us through how long we'd need for everything. I know from being a bridesmaid before that posed pictures sometimes start to feel like a chore (especially with the kind of weather we had) but we had fun with her, and we are completely obsessed with the results. Every time we look through our pictures, it brings back the joy of our wedding, and makes my hubby cry. :-D

    Kristen Thorne is EXACTLY the type of person every bride needs standing next to her on their wedding day. Besides her fair prices, flexible schedule, and besides the fact that EVERYTHING from our engagement photos, to my boudoir shoot, to our wedding day pictures have all come out flawlessly beautiful works of art, on top off all that she is a calm, cool, and collected person. Just the type you need on the day when emotions are running highest. Kristen has this peaceful good hearted energy to her. She took control of what could have been a terrible situation at my wedding. Hugged me, talked me through it and got my head back into the moment. I am so grateful to have had her there on that day. She has shot 3 of my friends weddings so far (4 including mine now). At this rate she'll end up being the photog for all of us! Can't wait for our first baby, so i can call her for pregnancy photos. Do yourself a favor and call her now!

    We are thrilled we chose Kristen Thorne to photograph our wedding. She was in touch with us well before the wedding to discuss details and get an idea of our tastes and priorities, and on the big day she was outstanding. Kristen was beyond flexible: she shot the event (~100 guests) solo, and was seemingly everywhere at once. She captured every moment we could have hoped for with a great eye for emotional detail, and was nothing but positive in adjusting to changes to the order of events on the fly. Her beautiful work speaks for itself and our photos were easy to access digitally (and available shockingly soon!) after the wedding. Compared with what we've heard of other well-established photographers charging, she was an incredible deal. Couldn't recommend more highly. Thanks again! -Natsuko & Evan, Highlawn Pavilion 5/8/16

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Kristen and I would recommend her to any future bride without hesitation. Wedding photography was my top priority out of all our wedding vendors and after doing A TON of research, I thankfully came across Kristen. From the minute we had our first meeting, I knew she was the perfect fit. Her amazing warm personality won us over and made it very easy to talk to and work with her. We had such a blast during our engagement shoot and it was such a great way to get an idea of what the big day would be like. Kristen has the staggering ability to make you feel completely calm and comfortable, which was super helpful to us considering we had never done a photo shoot before. She gave us great direction and told us things to do in the least intrusive way possible. Everything seemed to come naturally after a while because she was so awesome! She is truly an amazing artist and has an eye for capturing the most beautiful moments and scenery possible. Our wedding day was of course very hectic, but I was as relaxed as I could be, because I had Kristen by my side. We also had the wonderful pleasure of working with her husband Sammy as our 2nd photographer. He is just as talented and sweet as she is and they make a killer photography team. Everyone told us that our wedding day would fly by and we were so surprised at just how fast it did. There were a lot of things that we didn't get to see or experience at the wedding but we are so glad that we can relive every one of those special or missed moments through our pictures because Kristen and Sammy got them all!. We are eternally grateful to them for giving us the greatest gift of capturing the best day of our lives. They are the absolute best and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

    My husband and I loved working with Kristen Thorne for our wedding photos in September! She made the experience personal; meeting us for dinner a few times before the wedding day in order to get to know us as well as to understand what we wanted out of our photos. She went out of her way to make our day...perfect. Not to mention, she has a creative eye and adds some edge to your wedding photos. They do not all look the same with posed family and /or wedding party portraits. Not only did we get great wedding photos that were above and beyond our expectations, but we gained a friendship as well!

    I highly recommend Kristen to photograph your next event. Kristen photographed our wedding and we could not be happier. She is very professional, but also makes you feel special; not just like you're another customer. Kristen was amazing throughout the process and always responded promptly to any questions we had. She captured all of the special moments and all of the fun that our guests had. I promise you will not be disappointed!

    I can't say enough about Kristen. She is extreamly talented, creative, down to earth, flexable, and down right fabulous. Her pictures are truely unique and she captures every moment perfectly.Her photography from our wedding has beyond exceeded our expectations. She is not your typical wedding photographer...she has a wonderful warm personality and goes out of herway to get to know her clients.

    I would HIGHLY recommend using Kristen Thorne for your wedding or party needs. Just do it!!!! I am already trying to figure out when I can use her again!

    Kristen was amazing! She was so easy to work with and very flexible with our needs. I have a very large, very loud, Italian family and she was able to handle our liveliness and take incredible pictures. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. She is seriously awesome!

    Kristen was great, we used her for family pics/pics of my daughter.  She was professional while also being really warm, our baby took to her immediately!  We had a lot of fun and she took a ton of pics, even volunteering to take extra shots of special mementos in the baby's room, which was a really nice touch.  Good turn around time on the photos too.  Would definitely use her again!

    Kristen helped to make sure that every piece of our wedding was captured. She was flexible to work with and sought out special moments that might have otherwise been overlooked. Her sense of humor and laid-back approach made her very easy to work with and so much fun. She has a keen eye for detail and captures even the most simple things from interesting angles. If you're looking for a photographer that truly cares about their work and making sure you have a great experience, look no further than Kristen. She's awesome.

    Kristen Thorne Photography was the perfect fit for our wedding. She perfectly translated the mood and spirit of the evening, and did an amazing job at getting wonderful candid shots. She was a consummate professional the entire night, unobtrusive yet still able to capture the "unseen" moments which I was too busy to see for myself.

    I 100% recommend her for any special occasion.

    Kristen took headshots for our staff and did a fantastic job. Her professionalism and easy smile made her a pleasure to work with and brought out our best in the images. We needed a set of photos that weren't stuffy and corporate, but that truly represented who we are as an organization - and Kristen delivered!!

    She is a wonderful person to work with, very encouraging and helpful. I find that a lot of photographers are cookie cutter types: they never get the true personalities of the couple, they pose people into what THEY think the couple should do and snap, they also are not able to capture those special quick fleeting moments from a good angle, and in result the photos look overly posed and not genuine. I was looking for someone different, someone who really stands out but also in my price range. Kristen has an ability to capture true genuine moments of the couple in well taken beautiful photographs, her photographs look amazing. She is a great person to work with, of all the things I worried the most about having wonderful photographs -those are forever- and she made me so calm during the most stressful times and delivered with fantastic work.

    Kristen was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first meeting with her, we knew she would be the perfect person to spend so much of our wedding day with. She was authoritative enough to corral our large extended family and yet gentle enough to capture intimate portraits of my husband and me. I recommend her to anyone I know looking for a photographer - including my cousin who ended up working with Kristen for her own wedding. My husband and I are so pleased with the beautiful photographs Kristen captured of our wedding day. It felt as though Kristen captured them not as an outside observer of our wedding, but as an enthusiastic participant.

    Kristen was amazing. She took our engagement and wedding photos, and we're delighted that she was able to get such wonderful, lively pictures of us - my husband's a little camera shy, but you wouldn't ever know it looking at the pics.

    I really can't recommend her highly enough - she truly captured the spirit of our wedding and reception. The photographs tell a wonderful story, from my getting ready through the ceremony and late into the night. And Kristen was lovely to work with - totally unobtrusive, and with a fantastic eye for details and lighting. Now I just need to think of another occasion where I can call her again for some more photos!

    Kristen was an amazing photographer. She took candid pictures at the reception but wasn't in the way at all. I didn't even know she got some of the shots she did! The editing was absolutely beautiful and I got my pictures back so soon. Very professional and I definitely recommend her.
