About

Hi, I'm Kristyn Villars :) I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of the beautiful Central Coast of California, but will happily travel. I love to visit and experience new places, please take me with you to photograph your destination wedding and I'll document the whole experience :)

My journey as a photographer began in high school. I was always fascinated with freezing moments in time to inspire emotion. The details, life's little moments, that's where we exist. I developed my style and technique with photography excursions and absolutely fell in love with wedding photography. 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.

Now, a little about me! :) I am a total girly girl, but sometimes the best outfit is those old, worn out favorite pair of jeans. I love a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Driving those small town back roads is the best way to clear my head. I wish I could live far out in the country near a lake and star gaze every night. I love those once in a while weekend days where you don't have to change out of your pajamas all day. I love watching a good crime TV show. I love a good bear hug! And have been told that I give the best ones around :)

I have an 80 lb lap dog, named Bristol, who rescued me :) The newest addition to our family is Lola, a year old yellow lab. Coming home to their excitement every day will never get old. I am falling more and more in love with the most generous and giving man around who continuously pushes me to follow my dreams. I am a dreamer, striving for perfection in everything I do. I am a total daddy's girl and could never move too far away. I grew up in a big city but am definitely a small town country girl. I have dreamed of my wedding day since I was a little girl. I know it's clichéd, but come on. Who hasn't?

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 :)

Terrific experience and terrific photos!

We LOVED Kristyn! She was so communicative beforehand/during and made us feel totally at ease during both our engagement photos and all wedding photos. She got absolutely amazing photos (from two people who are generally totally awkward in front of a camera) and made it fun, while also efficient so we could spend the max amount of time with each other and our guests. If we do family photos or any other photos in the future, we will absolutely be hiring her!!

Wedding Photos

We highly recommend Kristyn for wedding photos. Not being from the SLO area, it’s sometimes challenging to pick vendors, but Kristyn called us right away after inquiring and it felt like we had already met her / been friends. She made us feel so comfortable while taking our engagement photos, which made it a breeze on our wedding day! She is so passionate about what she does and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Kristyn is the absolute best!

If you want genuine, authentic pictures, book Kristyn!

Kristyn was the absolute best from start to finish. Leading up to the day, she answered every question I had, and rolled with the punches when I had some last minute changes. We were clear about wanting to join cocktail hour, as well as eat our meal. She clipped things along, and kept everything moving to make sure we got all the shots we needed, but still got to enjoy our wedding. During portraits, she made us feel so comfortable, and captured the most amazing candids. Plus, she’s just awesome to be around. Seriously, book Kristyn.
