About Krista Brackin Photography

Krista Brackin Photography

Owner, Photographer

I’m Krista - a hybrid luxury wedding photographer and mother of two. I am blessed with the opportunity to be a small part of my couple's stories at one of the most wonderful, delicate times in their lives!

Families are blending, new foundations are being built, two individuals are becoming one & I have the honor of being able to document it all! After the last song plays and your guests depart, all that remains are memories that stay just as crisp as time will allow. The photographs though - they remain. These moments aren't just meant to happen, they're meant to be revisited every Anniversary, Christmas, Chanukah or New Years Eve & even as you patiently await the arrival of your first child. These moments are a testament to the strength of your foundation at times when your love is tested & are a reminder of your vows when you need it most!

    Stunning photos, exceptional service

    Working with Krista for our engagement and wedding photos was truly such a pleasure. We haven't even gotten our wedding gallery back yet, but we already know that we'll be wholeheartedly recommending her to any of our friends and family. We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot and the gallery was STUNNING!! She was able to capture our joy and connection in such a beautiful way. As a bride, I really appreciated Krista's organized and detail-oriented approach to her work. She made me feel confident in her ability to make our timeline run smoothly. Krista is kind, thoughtful, observant, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our experience. She even repinned my veil before our ceremony and bustled my dress afterwards. We know that our photos will be gorgeous, but we are also so thankful that she also gave us the space to be in the moment and enjoy our day. We could not be happier and will cherish her photos for years to come.

    Phenomenal Photographer

    Krista is amazing and great to work with! She always made us feel relaxed and comfortable The photography on our wedding day felt seamless! Many of our friends and family commented on how good of a job she was doing. She even saved the day when I spilled a red cocktail down my dress. We can’t wait to see our pictures! I’ve seen her work and she is phenomenal at what she does!!

    Krista is the BEST!

    I have worked with Krista as a bride, a wedding vendor, and as a photographer for both my business and family and can't recommend her enough! Her photos speak for themselves, but the behind the scenes work is just as excellent. Krista is professional, prompt, flexible, and super easy to work with. I would recommend her to any bride that's looking for an organized planning period, a fun presence on their wedding day, and an outstanding final product!!!

    Engagement Session

    We absolutely loved working with Krista for our engagement session & are so excited to have her photograph our wedding! We knew we wanted her for our wedding from the second we met her on zoom! We had an extremely busy schedule surrounding the engagement session & were soo thankful for her flexibility. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session & it ended up being a lot of fun! We brought our dog with us & despite the dog being extra excited, Krista somehow captured the BEST pictures of the 3 of us! We couldn't be happier with our engagement session & we cannot wait to see how Krista captures our wedding in Lancaster next year!! Highly, highly recommend!

    Amazing photographer!

    Krista was an absolute dream to work with from the start. She was so helpful putting together the timeline which was something I was very worried about, but she was spot on for how long things would take. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and Krista had us go all around our wedding venue to get the most beautiful pictures from all of the wonderful spots our venue had to offer. Her photos are so light and bright, and she did an amazing job capturing my very colorful flowers! She made us feel so comfortable during all the portraits, and we had such a good time with her and her second shooter Amanda. Our families and wedding party also told us how great she was to work with!! Highly highly recommend, especially if you're getting married at Brandywine Manor House!

Typically, couples book me about 12-18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
All of my collections include a second photographer! It's an important part of your wedding day experience and is one of the key ways I'm able to provide all of my couples with such well-rounded galleries of their wedding day!
I do! If your venue requires a certificate of liability, I can send the information over to them.
I focus solely on photography during the wedding day to provide you with the most incredible pictures possible and a low-stress experience. That said, I have a list of recommended videographers that my past couples have loved! Please let me know if it would be helpful for me to send that your way!
I like to think that my photographs have a film-inspired, romantic style that's full of life and heart! I approach portraits and the wedding day with authenticity as a guide and strive to photograph things as they were, in their natural state. We have a list of standard images that we work through and I'm happy to take any posed portraits you have in mind however I love to get my couples moving, laughing, and interacting to get the most natural emotion in your images.
There is no "set number" of photos but we usually deliver an average of 60-100 photos per hour of shooting. Factors that could impact this are whether you choose a first look or aisle reveal, the number of events happening during the day, the quantity and type of details (think intricate invitation suites, table decor, etc.), the length of travel between locations, the number of guests, etc. Our goal is to document your day in the most thorough and authentic way possible! With that in mind, we go against the grain of the industry and DON'T remove photos just to hit a predetermined number!
Not to worry! I frequently find that I can be more creative with new venues because I approach the day with a fresh set of eyes and new ideas! I always research new venues online and arrive early on the wedding day so I can meet your coordinator and walk the grounds to scout out locations. This is the best option because the weather and available light on your wedding day dictate where we can take photos. If you'd like to see a full wedding gallery from your venue or one that's similar, please ask!
