Krystal Kast Photographer | Reviews

we could not imagine our engagement + wedding day without krystal kast. the best of the best and could not recommend her enough. your wedding photographer is argurably the most important vendor of the day. she is with you from the moment you get ready until the lights go off. it is imperative to be extremely picky and selective when choosing this person. and that person is krystal. she made us feel like ourselves, was a part of the entire day seamlessly, and we can't wait to find more reasons to have her capture our family moments. we love you, krystal!

If we could give Krystal 10 stars, that would not be enough. Beyond Krystal's incredible talent, she is a wonderful person and our wedding day (and bridal portraits/engagement photos) would not have been complete without her. Her work is timeless, elegant and beautiful. Krystal was the first vendor we hired. We made sure our wedding venue and date was available in coordination with her availability - we knew she had to be a part of our journey as we wanted both film and digital photos with heirloom quality, worthy of a publication or to cherish for years to come. Her work is truly exquisite. Krystal has a way of capturing moments with true emotion, finding the essence of her subjects and capturing movement in static images, while creating a beautiful moment in time that feels like a crisp memory when you close your eyes. Her work takes you back to that exact moment captured and you can relive it; you feel her work. She has a way with people that is second to none -- gently managing flower girls, grandmothers and other guests, while keeping pace of a tight wedding schedule, getting the necessary shots and racing weather if need be. She can capture the best side of anyone, from people who are uncomfortable in front of the camera to those who are the utmost photogenic. You know you are always in good hands with Krystal. While not one detail was missed, Krystal managed to be stealthy and her presence was never overbearing or obvious. Her direction is clear, she worked really well with our videographer, and she has the perfect balance between professional and artist. She made it fun and her smile can calm any nerves. We hope to have future opportunities to work with Krystal again. She is officially in the family! If you are looking for a photographer -- look no further!

never knew how special it would be to look back through my wedding photos until I had Krystal as my photographer. My family and I will forever be gushing over these and are in awe of how much of the emotion and joy was captured. Krystal was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the very beginning (nearly a year out from our wedding date!) she was invested in making sure my wedding day was perfect. She is very familiar with a lot of the Triangle venues and knew many of my vendors - she gave me day of planning and coordination advice right off the bat. She has such a cool, calm presence that you can't help but feel calm around her. The photo sessions never felt forced or awkward, and they turned out absolutely STUNNING - tons of B&W, various tones...I was absolutely blown away. I didn't even plan a shot list with her but she captured every single little detail without instruction. Her counterpart Brad was also an absolute joy. He knows how to make the experience fun and the groomsmen really enjoyed having him around pre ceremony. I would work with Krystal and team over and over again...I am truly sad it's over!

Krystal's expertise is truly remarkable! Entrusting her with our May 2023 wedding was an exceptional decision. Right from the beginning, Krystal instilled a sense of ease and comfort in our collaboration. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured she captured every significant moment, weaving together a visual narrative that perfectly encapsulated our love story. Words can't express our gratitude for her outstanding work – we wholeheartedly recommend Krystal to anyone and everyone!

We had the most incredible experience with Krystal for our wedding day and engagement session! Not only did she capture every magical moment with stunning skill and creativity, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that nothing dampened our spirits - not even the rain! When unexpected rain threatened to derail our outdoor wedding, Krystal didn't hesitate to jump right in with us, embracing the elements to capture the most breathtaking shots imaginable. Her dedication and enthusiasm were truly remarkable, and it made our day even more unforgettable. Beyond her exceptional talent behind the lens, Krystal brought a sense of joy and warmth to our wedding day. They were a calming presence amidst the chaos, effortlessly guiding us through each shot with professionalism and care. Needless to say, the final images exceeded our wildest expectations, each one telling a story of love, laughter, and joy. We are endlessly grateful to Krystal for her incredible work and for going the extra mile to make our day absolutely perfect. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will not only capture your moments but also become a cherished part of them, look no further than Krystal. She is simply the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Krystal, for making our wedding day truly magical! We would choose you again in a heartbeat.
