My story

Hi, I'm Kristyn Villars. I am a fine art wedding photographer based out of the beautiful Central Coast of California, but will happily travel to wherever your love story takes you. I love to visit and experience new places! Take me with you to photograph your destination wedding and I'll make sure to document the whole experience.

I have always been fascinated with freezing moments in time to inspire emotion. The details, life's little moments, that's where we exist. There's something romantic about being able to document a couple's love story! My style can be described as authentic, candid, and photojournalistic, where I specialize in outdoor wedding photography. Your golden hour photos will be your favorite photos from your wedding day, I promise!

Now, a little about me! I am married to the love of my life-Sanden! I fall more and more in love with him every day! He is the most generous and giving man around who continuously pushes me to follow my dreams. We have two little ones-I didn't think my heart could grow any bigger the day they were born! We have an 80 lb lap dog, named Bristol, who rescued me, she's the black one. The yellow lab in the photos is the crazy one, Lola. She will never grow out of her puppy phase. Coming home to their excitement every day will never get old.

I love making new friends and cannot wait to meet you! Let's get together and get to know each other over a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine.
