Wonderful Photography; Relaxed Personality
Tethered Stories was an absolute pleasure to work alongside at a recent wedding. Their communication style was relaxed yet professional, and their creative, keen-eyed approach resulted in beautiful, unique, and artistic photos that perfectly captured the couple's special day. They were flexible to work with, knowing exactly the right shots to get without being intrusive and had great communication with the other vendors like me. For example, when we were about to go into cake cutting, the Kriztelle realized the sun was setting just right for some golden hour photos. She concisely communicated her vision to the couple and me, and I as the DJ quickly adapted the timeline so that guests weren't confused about what happened next, all while she got gorgeous shots. All of their work is truly exceptional and you'll be thrilled with the memories they provide. Book Tethered Stories now!
Timeless Photography
We had the pleasure of working with Kriztelle of Tethered Stories at Meyer's Castle, and her talent left a lasting impression. She captured the day with stunning artistry, delivering images that were both emotive and timeless. Kriztelle was calm, professional, and a true pleasure to work with throughout the day. We would be thrilled to welcome her back and highly recommend her to any couple seeking elegant, storytelling photography! :-)
Elopement Shoot
Kriztelle is an amazing photographer! She made both me and my husband feel so comfortable during our elopement shoot. She guided us through the entire process with patience and ease, especially when we had no idea how to pose (lol). Her ability to capture genuine moments is incredible. The photos we received are absolutely beautiful, memories we’ll truly cherish forever. So grateful we had her as part of our special day!
Our August 18, 2024 Dallas, TX Wedding
Kriztelle has photographed for my husband and I (and our families!) on several occasions now! She photographed our elopement at City Hall in Chicago with our immediate family and so graciously agreed to travel to shoot our wedding ceremony reception with all of our loved ones in Texas. We are incredibly overjoyed with our experiences with Kriztelle. She is incredibly detail oriented, intentional and thoughtful in all her planning and coordinating of the day. She fit so well in collaboration with our other vendors and helped or day run so smoothly. She has a way capturing a love story so beautifully, and most importantly, authentically. In every single wedding photo we received, we were able to easily relive such special, intimate moments. She has such a story-telling vision that is so comforting when the hectic-ness of a wedding can be so heightened. She always made us feel seen, heard, and reminded us of how special this day was despite everything moving on around us. And her passion truly translates into the beauty she creates. I am so happy that I can look back at all our photos she captured for the rest of our lives.
