Couldn't be more satisfied with our wedding photos!

Where do I begin? Kristen and her team at Veils & Tails are superb beyond measure. I will cherish the photos she took at our wedding for my whole life, and I am extremely pleased with how the entire process went! Kristen took our engagement photos and worked with my very specific and tight schedule to work with flexibility in her own schedule. She was SO fun and made the sometimes awkward photo-taking process a breeze. She's the kindest, sweetest soul and we had a fun time talking about music and doggos. I want to be her friend -- she's just that kind of instantly warm and bright person! She really captured the essence of my wild and boisterous family at the reception! I can't thank Kristen and her second shooter enough for their time. People I don't even know are messaging me saying how beautiful our photos are (one was even featured in the Santa Barbara Independent!) HIRE HER!

Amazing wedding photographer in SB!

We hired Kristen a month ago for our small wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. We are both so pleased with the experience and the photos! Kristen managed to capture beautiful late afternoon lighting, she knew some of the most picturesque backdrops at the courthouse, and she got great shots of our pup who we included in our ceremony! Our wedding photo gallery is a wonderful mix of candid and posed photos, as well as detail photos (the flowers photographed beautifully against the architecture of the courthouse!).

Not only did she deliver amazing pictures, we also genuinely enjoyed working with Kristen. She is very responsive - from pre-planning stages through post-event follow up. She is professional, friendly, and GREAT with dogs (she was able to get wonderful photos of all FOUR of the dogs at our ceremony, not as easy task!). You can tell that she takes the time to deliver high quality photos to her clients - she spent a lot of time with us after our ceremony for a mini newlywed photo session at Arroyo Burro Beach. She was great at suggesting photo ideas and never made us feel rushed - we had a lot of fun and it shows in the pictures. She is awesome, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again for more photo sessions with our pets!

We love Veils and Tails - thank you Kristen! 💕🐾💐

THRILLED with our photos!

We hired from Kristen of Veils & Tails for our courthouse wedding with a small group of friends and family in Santa Barbara and couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. I loved that we had the option to send her a Pinterest board so she could get an idea for what we wanted, as well as a questionnaire about us as a couple and the shots we wanted. Her communication was wonderful. She was friendly, professional and lovely to work with. Kristen has a great eye for composition, and captured both candid moments and posted portraits wonderfully. We would not hesitate to recommend her and will definitely hire her again if we need another photo session!
