"Getting married, all I hoped for was what every soon-to-be bride dreams of: the day perfectly captured in both memory and feeling.
Choosing Kristel was a no-brainer; her expertise, passion, and warm personality immediately assured us that she was just as fully committed to capturing our memories as we were.
She took the time to truly understand not only our vision for the day, but also the essence of who we are as a couple."

"Kristel was a delight to work with from start to finish. She listened to what we were looking for and offered helpful insight when we were stumped. She made the wedding/engagement photos go so smoothly and we could not have hoped for anything better!"

"I loved working with Kristel for my wedding photos. She was easy to work with and always quick to respond if I had questions. On my wedding day, Kristel was professional, on time, and made myself and my, now, husband so comfortable, which made posing for pictures much easier. I also paid for a second photographer, which I recommend. A second photographer made photos go a little faster and allowed photos to be taken from multiple angles in half the time. (continued...)"

"(...continued) My wedding photos are so gorgeous, I love them! I received them within a month or two after my wedding, which I thought was quick compared to how long some of my friends had to wait. Kristel was a little higher priced than other photographers but you get what you pay for and I don’t regret spending the money one bit. Kristel was great and I highly recommend her!!"

"Kristel is an absolute DREAM to work with! From our very first meeting to discuss her packages to our hugs and goodbyes at the end of our wedding night, Kristel was on top of everything. She had everything so well thought out and planned for both our engagement photos and wedding day...and we knew that our wedding photos were going to be perfect. And boy did Kristel deliver as I continue to receive compliments on our beautiful photos! I cannot say enough how much my husband and I loved working with Kristel"

She did an excellent job on both the engagement and wedding photos. She captured each special moment in such a precious way! If anyone is looking for an awesome photographer she is the real deal!"

"When I think back to my wedding day, I remember the feelings of love and happiness I felt. I look back at my wedding photos and see those emotions in my and my husband's faces; Kristel was able to capture the joy we shared in such a definitive way. While being down-to-earth and relatable, Kristel is also direct, which is great for directing families and bridal party members on the wedding day - she helped keep us on schedule but made sure to get all of the shots. We will use her again for future photos!"

"Capture the Moment Photography by Kristel Stephany was the perfect choice for our big day! Kristel was so easy to work with and was a lot of fun; she made two camera-shy people feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. We especially appreciated her flexibility for both dates and locations of all our pictures, which resulted in breathtaking photos that have extra significance for us and our family."

"(...continued) Kristel went above and beyond to get a perfect shot. Some of our beautiful photos you would have no idea were shot in a parking lot because she is just that good! We would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future to shoot our newborn and family photos. We live in the Madison area and she is well worth the hour drive!"
