  Absolutely Amazing- 5 stars all the way! 100% recommendation!

  Krystal was absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend her enough. From the first moment I spoke with her over the phone I immediately liked her and knew she'd be a wonderful photographer at the wedding. Leading up to the wedding she had a great little date night “getting to know you” form for each of us to fill out, which I can tell she used when it came to the wedding day. Her communication was excellent and planning was very thorough. She showed up early to get photos of my dress and our rings, and was so great the entire evening! We felt so comfortable taking pictures with her and she made it really fun for us. She also got tons of photos of our family and friends which were so great to see and she captured some amazing moments with some ninja skills! The photos came out absolutely stunning and it’s going to be so hard to choose which ones to print. If you’re having a wedding or special event up by the Yosemite area, Krystal is your go-to photographer!

  Beyond Perfect

  My husband and I did a private vow renewal in Yosemite, and we couldn't have picked a better photographer! Krystal truly made the day incredibly special for us. Everything was perfect because Krystal put so much care into helping us feel comfortable while setting up memorable moments, like our exchange of vows at an empty Cathedral Beach in view of El Capitan. The thoughtful idea of adding in a picnic at the end of our time with her was the cherry on top of the experience. That was even better than I had imagined it would be, and it was a fantastic ending. Krystal was thorough and clear from the planning of locations to the actual photography session, and the photos turned out beautifully! It is clear that Krystal is experienced and incredibly talented in photographing life's big moments in natural ways.

  Attentive to Detail

  Krystal put in an incredible amount of time, continuously trying to capture the best images. She was attentive to capturing the best lighting, background, facial expressions of the bride and groom, and would try several different filters to get a variety of effects.

  Best day of our lives!

  Already two years ago but we still enjoy this very special memory every day! We live in the Netherlands and I wanted to propose to my girlfriend in a special way and the result was simply amazing!
  
  Krystal captured every moment and feeling so beautifully that we can see and touch this life-changing memory forever. To plan such a proposal from the Netherlands requires quite a bit of preparation and Krystal really helped me perfectly! Planning, location scouting and keeping it all secret for my girlfriend was quit a challenge but because of Krystal’s help we managed to create a VERY special day! Several calls and emails before the day to plan everything and on the day itself she took a all the time to discover Yosemite with us and came up with lots of great ideas to make this proposal extra special.
  
  Krystal, many thanks for this great experience and you made two Dutchies extra happy. You are the best!!

  Responsive and Flexible Wedding Photographer

  I hired Krystal to photograph my wedding ceremony and reception. When I first reached out to her to inquire about her services, she got back to me right away and sent the information I needed to make my decision. She offers a variety of packages for weddings and was flexible and willing to talk it through with me to tailor to my specific wants. Krystal provided a lot of great suggestions and made the effort to get to know my husband and me. I was really impressed and thankful to Krystal for how supportive and flexible she was the day of my wedding. We were really behind schedule and she went with it in a way that helped me feel less stressed. She took pictures as the events unfolded and snapped a lot of great candids. She made it easy for me and even stayed for a little extra time. I didn't have to think a lot about what kind of pictures I wanted, she knew what to do. I'm really happy with how the pictures came out. Thanks so much, Krystal!

  Dreamy Photos!

  We chose Krystal for our Yosemite NP wedding. Two days prior to the wedding we went into the park for a park session and the day of the wedding we met back up at the Wawona hotel for the actual wedding day festivities. The photos were quick to be edited and available, she was so easy to work with, she made us feel super comfortable, and she knew great spots in the park. The photos were absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous and we are so lucky to have found her to capture the beautiful memories. Six plus months later and the pictures bring us right back to the best day of our lives. Brilliant work and a lovely person to work with! Absolutely, without a doubt, worth every penny. We tried to be price conscious on most everything in the wedding but we knew we would need to get a good photographer which can cost a lot sometimes. We felt that she was a nice middle ground price and her photos came out exactly as we had hoped.

  Captured our elopement perfectly!

  She was amazing! She was flexible with our plans, rate was affordable, she engaged everyone at the wedding so we all felt comfortable and at ease around her. She had a great eye for unique shots, and everyone who's seen our wedding album commented on how beautiful the pictures were. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

  Krystal is THE BEST!

  Krystal is an AMAZING photographer. All of the pictures that we wanted to do, she made happen. She also captured the atmosphere of our wedding so perfectly. Every time I look back on our photos I am immediately reminded of all the memories and emotions. Krystal is truly a gifted photographer and I 100% recommend her to anyone in the Yosemite and surrounding area.

  Krystal did an amazing job photographing our wedding in Yosemite. We were married in the evening at Tenaya Lodge outside the park, but we spent the morning taking photos in the Valley. She and her assistant made us feel comfortable and relaxed enough that even my very shy husband was able to just be himself and forget the camera.
  Krystal is passionate about her craft and yet flexible enough to indulge me with some of my crazy ideas.
  
  I highly recommend Krystal; her calming direction resulted in beautiful tender photos that truly captured the day. Additionally, her followup after the wedding in providing proofs in a timely manner were spot on.
  
  Thank you Krystal for the lovely experience and helping us to create the best day ever!

  If you're from out of state, marrying in Yosemite, Krystal is an AMAZING choice! We eloped (we're from the Midwest), so it was difficult to find a photographer we liked and trusted for California wedding. She handled all my paranoid questions extremely well when we first talked on the phone :) And the first day we met, on my wedding day, she was warm and welcoming. She felt like part of the family and so easy to work with on such an important day. Her prices are also amazing (we were shocked by prices, coming from the midwest!!). She even worked hard to get us a few pictures for our reception we had 2 weeks after our wedding. And the pictures were even more beautiful than I imagined. She's a wonderful choice!!

  Mrs. Preciado was a wonderful photographer! She gave me advice on what order to do pictures in and helped me create a flow through my special day. We got all the photos we asked for and more! She had an eye for those perfect shots that we had not planned. I had no idea where some pictures were going to be taken and she just went out and found the most amazing spots near by. My wedding pictures make me feel like i was a model at a shoot because she did such an amazing job! She was professional but personal. I felt like i could be very comfortable with her and express what i was looking for without her ignoring it because i was not the photographer. My pictures make me so happy when i look at them and my whole family all look so wonderfully happy. She caught the most intimate moments for me to cherish and remember! I fully recommend her to be your photographer!

  We used Preciado Photography for our wedding and were very pleased! Krystal was our photographer and she was a delight to work with, very easy-going, kind and flexible in the planning process.
