About Daring Romantics

Daring Romantics

Wedding Photographer Team

Having been married for over 15 years now, we are wild believers that forever, joyful love is entirely possible for the daring! See, for us, true romance isn’t just the highs of chemistry but it’s in the small, intentional, daily pursuit of one another. Love is choosing patience and kindness and building one another up. It’s hard work but a grounded and great one where hope abides. It’s this beautiful intention that makes us thrilled to celebrate you and your own unique story as Daring Romantics.

We provide intentional photography for couples who want confidence that the depth of their story will be artfully captured. We live in a world that is wildly documented, and you might find yourself worried that your wedding photos won’t stand out while also sincerely capturing the depth of who you are. Your marriage is a reverent moment within your story, worthy of intentionality and joy. When you choose us, we will take time to build trust with you. We will come alongside you, spend time listening well, and value your traditions and culture.

    Incredible Photographer, Even Better Human

    Kristen was incredible from start to finish. She has a rare ability to make people feel completely at ease — which was essential for two people who don’t love the spotlight. We never felt posed or self-conscious; we felt present, joyful, and ourselves. And that comes through in every photo. She encouraged us to try different ideas, welcomed us behind the camera throughout the day, and kept everything feeling natural rather than scripted. Kristen is a true expert without any ego — confident, creative, and genuinely easy to be around. We didn’t want cookie-cutter wedding photos. We wanted something organic, heartfelt, and real — and Kristen delivered exactly that. The photos don’t just capture our wedding day; they capture us. Weddings can feel overwhelming, but Kristen kept things light and fun the entire day. Beyond her talent, she’s also a wonderful human, which matters more than people realize. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Yes, absolutely. And if your venue asks you for records of our coverage, more than happy to pass those credentials along.
Oh we're bringing lots with us. We have many, many cameras (and backups for those), all sorts of lighting sources (and backups), and even fancy modifiers too. Basically, we haul some pretty heavy bags full of all the nerdy toys to help us capture your day beautifully. We want to make sure that we bring enough equipment that we’re prepared for any and all circumstances.
Yes, and both. I (Kristen) photograph up to 70 weddings a year and there are standard shots I always make sure we’re getting (like pictures of YOU two!! and of your Grandma!) But I also believe that every wedding is unique. I use my standard “lists” as a guide but we're going to spend time getting to know you too. I'm coming to your wedding aware who’s uniquely special to you, what details matter a lot, all the traditions or cultural elements that may be unique to you, etc. My goal is that your final gallery won't be this cut-and-paste approach just like the last wedding I was at but that it's an album full of your unique-to-you memories.
Your memories are once in a lifetime! We're backing up your images and we're backing them up for life. We always photograph with two cameras each and have spare cameras on us just in the wild case something were to happen to one of those. Every camera has a dual memory card slot as well so that every photograph is backed up in real time, the moment it's captured. Immediately following your wedding, all images are additionally backed up to three external locations. We have two physical hard drives stored in separate spaces as well as private and secure online storage. No way your photos are getting lost on our watch!
Contractually, I promise a 12 week turnaround for your final gallery. But my goal is for you to have a hefty sneak peak to enjoy while you’re off on your honeymoon and for you to have your final gallery asap. Everyone gets their sneak peak within the first week and most all of my couples receive their final gallery at some point between their one and two month anniversary.
Yes! We're big believers in physical art! Let's get your images in print, a literal "to have and to hold" heirloom. We have gorgeous albums, unique wall art, and quality prints available.
The contract states your final gallery will average a minimum of 75 images an hour but I also don’t hold back! The reality is my wedding galleries are closer to 100-150 per hour by the end. There's just always so much goodness happening all day! They are all edited and do include artfully selected black and white options that always have the color version included as well. No watermarks. These are your memories! They’re all yours!
Your images are sent to you via an online, downloadable gallery. We highly encourage that you download your gallery and save it in a safe place for yourselves. But there is no expiration date to your online gallery access. We plan to keep them up there for life as a convenience for you. If that were to ever change (and I truly don’t envision that happening), we would certainly keep you a part of that process and make sure that you were not only fully aware but had access.
We have never had this happen in our 8yrs of business but Kristen has filled in for others before. We're all only human and sometimes the worse case just happens, try as we might to avoid it, so we do have protection for you in case it unfortunately does. We have an extensive network of quality photographers who we work with regularly. Both in supporting them, and them supporting us. We have contract language around this but we promise to arrange and provide you with coverage that is directly comparable to Daring Romantics. We will also still be the ones doing your edits so that your gallery is consistent with what you expected of our work.
In the rare event that your wedding would need to be postponed, we would definitely talk about transferring your package to your new wedding date. We would want to do all we could to be there! I do not contractually offer a refund on your booking fee but we would also handle your unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
30% is due when you sign your contract in order to book your date. The remaining balance is due one month prior to your wedding. You can set that up as a single automated payment or you can manually chip away at it as your wedding draws nearer. I do offer a 10% discount if you desire to pay the full amount up front.
