Kristen Campbell Photography

Kristen Campbell Photography Now accepting inquiries for June 2025 in the Napa Valley and beyond. I promised myself that if I could help it, I'd never let this happen to anyone ever again.

Growing up, I always thought I would be a teacher or nurse, or something along those lines since both of those occupations run deep in my family. But, it wasn't until I was unexpectedly left without a photographer just 2 days before my own wedding that I knew EXACTLY what I would be doing with the rest of my life. So, I went to Best Buy and purchased my very first camera and started photographing

everything I could. After a couple of years of taking photos of every variety, I realized my passions lie within weddings and growing families.

2.5 years in the making! If you saw my stories you’d know that this series of images is something I saw in my head but couldn’t quite make the timing work. It is so satisfying seeing the mental image in my head come to life!

What an incredible surprise we experienced during my latest maternity session! 🎉 As we were capturing their growing family in the beautiful surroundings of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the dad-to-be pointed out a proposal happening just a few yards away. It was such a magical moment, and I couldn't help but jump into action to capture those fleeting seconds as they unfolded. 💍✨

Witnessing a moment this monumental unfold in real-time was a wonderful reminder of how these moments can change the trajectory of our lives forever. Every proposal, every yes, and every tear of joy contributes to the beautiful journey of love and family. It’s moments like these that I cherish the most in my work as a wedding photographer. I feel so privileged to be part of such significant milestones in people’s lives, whether it's capturing engagements, weddings, or growing families.

If you're celebrating a life-changing moment or know someone who is, let's connect! I'd be honored to help you hold onto these memories with timeless, heartfelt photos. 💖

Want to get the most out of your wedding florals? 🌸 Here's how you can repurpose your ceremony arrangements to create a stunning reception space:

✨ Lining the Aisles → Elevated Centerpieces
Those beautiful arrangements that line your aisle can quickly transform into tall, elegant centerpieces at your reception. It's a great way to maximize your decor and create visual impact at your tables.

✨ Ceremony Backdrop → Sweetheart Table
Your ceremony arch or floral backdrop can double as the centerpiece behind your sweetheart table. It creates a romantic focal point and ties your day together beautifully.

✨ Loose Florals → Bar & Cake Table Decor
Any extra blooms or greenery from the ceremony can be reused to dress up your bar, gift table, or even your cake display for a cohesive look.

Pro tip: Share this idea with your planner and florist—they’ll help coordinate the transitions seamlessly while you enjoy cocktail hour! 🍷

If you’re dreaming of a Napa wedding, I’d love to help you capture every detail—from your ceremony blooms to the final dance of the night. Let’s chat about making your day effortlessly beautiful and unforgettable.

Planning a city hall engagement session? You're in for an incredible experience! 🌟 San Francisco City Hall is not just a venue; it's an architectural masterpiece that provides the perfect backdrop for your session. But before you book that date, here are some essential tips to keep in mind to ensure your session goes off without a hitch.

First, remember that the building is open for sessions only on weekdays. If you're aiming for that golden hour glow, afternoons are ideal for lighting, although they tend to get busier. For a more intimate feel, consider scheduling your session early in the morning when the space is quieter and the light is still soft and beautiful.

When it comes to outfits, think elegance! This iconic location deserves equally stunning attire. Skip the jeans and casual wear; instead, opt for something that reflects the grandeur of your surroundings. Choose colors and styles that resonate with the architecture and vibe of City Hall.

Lastly, strategize your shoot! With three levels of breathtaking architecture, you’ll want to make the most of your time. Discuss with your photographer which iconic elements you want to capture—be it the grand staircase, the ornate arches, or the stunning windows on the third floor. Planning ahead ensures you maximize your session, especially if you’re considering a second location nearby.

I’d love to hear from you! What’s your best tip for visiting San Francisco City Hall? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

Golden hour at Crissy Field East Beach Park followed by the timeless elegance of the Legion of Honor—two iconic San Francisco spots that offer completely different vibes, all in one session.

Starting by the water, the soft coastal light and neutral tones created a serene, relaxed feel, perfect for capturing timeless moments. As the evening unfolded, the romantic architecture of the Legion of Honor added a chic, dramatic touch, proving why this location is a favorite for portraits.

San Francisco truly offers endless opportunities for stunning backdrops that tell your unique story. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, like this maternity session, or capturing another chapter in your life, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.

Looking for the ideal Bay Area location for your session? Let’s make it happen!

Thinking about your San Francisco engagement session? Let’s talk outfits and florals! 🌸

When planning your engagement session, think about your outfits as an extension of your wedding style—timeless, cohesive, and true to you. Neutral tones with soft pops of color always work beautifully against San Francisco’s iconic backdrops. 🕊️ Adding a bouquet? It’s the perfect touch to elevate your photos!

💡 Why include a bouquet?
1️⃣ It adds movement and texture, especially when walking or twirling shots are part of the plan.
2️⃣ It’s a great way to tie your wedding colors into the session.
3️⃣ It makes for a fun prop, adding variety to your gallery!

If you’re considering it, keep your bouquet petite and elegant—a natural complement, not a distraction. Think seasonal blooms or something that hints at your wedding florals. 🌿

What are your thoughts—bouquet or no bouquet for your engagement session? Let me know in the comments! 💍

Picture this, it is the middle of summer and your bridal party has been outside sweating while taking photos for over an hour. Everyone is annoyed. Hungry. And you just want some AC and a cold drink from the bar.

I have a feeling that is the LAST thing you want to happen and trust me, I don’t want this for you either.

But sadly, this can become a reality because the photographer doesn't have the ability to manage the wedding party or have any kind of plan in place so it ends up taking longer than necessary and winds up with people wandering off.

I have heard similar stories from many people in the past and this tends to be a common issue…
But, can I let you in on a little secret…I help my clients avoid this exact situation!

When it comes to wedding party portraits, I always approach it with a plan and some humor guaranteed to keep the attention of your wedding party members in order to accomplish this part of the day not only in a fun way, but efficiently!!

I have helped many of my clients avoid this exact problem and I won’t let you face it either!

Let me help you take this worry off of your plate and allow you to ( relax on your wedding day, feel confident at your session, etc )

WEDDING RECEPTION TIPS - PART 1
When planning your wedding reception, it's crucial to consider the flow of events to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your guests. Here are my top tips to help you make the most of your special day!

First and foremost, scheduling key moments like the first dance, parent dances, and cake cutting early in the reception can ensure that your guests get to witness these significant moments before they start to leave. Keeping speeches concise and limited to a select few can also help maintain the attention of your guests and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.

Consider skipping traditions like the garter toss, which may not resonate with everyone, and opt for more personalized and meaningful activities instead. Table shots are a great way to capture memories with your guests, but why not switch it up by inviting them to your sweetheart table for a group photo?

Lastly, staging a faux exit with your immediate family and wedding party can provide a memorable photo opportunity without the need for additional photography coverage. This allows you to continue enjoying the festivities without interruption.

Share your thoughts on these tips and let me know what other advice you'd like to see for planning your wedding reception! 📸💍

FIVE MINUTES!! Over the course of my career, I have invested THOUSANDS of dollars in education so that I can be the best possible photographer for each and every one of my couples and families. With crazy weather, including flooding in surrounding areas, and the inability to reschedule, we went for it and worked as efficiently as possible to capture some sweet memories to highlight their trip to Oahu. All of these were captured in less than 5 minutes.

So, WHY am I telling you this? Because who you hire to capture and document your memories matters! Their experience level matters. Being able to use time wisely matters. Having a posing system that works, matters. So choose someone who can thrive under pressure! Someone who can work quickly and efficiently while still producing stunning results. Someone who can think on their feet and come up with creative solutions when unexpected challenges arise. Someone who is passionate about their craft and dedicated to constantly improving.

As a photographer, I want you to know that you deserve the best. You deserve someone who will go above and beyond to make sure your memories are captured in the most beautiful way possible. Someone who will take the time to get to know you and your vision, and work with you to make it a reality.

So, if you're looking for a photographer who will give you the best possible experience, look no further. Whether it's for your wedding day, or capturing your growing family, I'm here for you.
