About Hamilton

Hamilton is a city that blends natural wonder with a vibrant, evolving culture. Nestled between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario, it’s known for its waterfalls, scenic trails, and historic buildings that bring character and beauty to every corner. Whether you're wandering through Gage Park or exploring the charm of Locke Street, there’s a photo-worthy backdrop around every turn.

Beyond its landscapes, Hamilton offers a strong sense of community and creativity. As a photographer, I love how each session here feels unique—whether it’s a romantic shoot at Dundurn Castle or a family session near Bayfront Park. The city’s mix of nature, architecture, and energy makes it a standout location to preserve life’s most meaningful moments.

Kristine was my wedding photographer in 2021! She was amazing ! She helped with the engagement photos we had done in 2020 since I had no clue where to go for photos. She was fantastic! She made you feel like you were part of her family! On the wedding day she came to my house to photograph the boys and was super amazing with them! She then came to photograph the girls at a different location and she just knew what to do and what photos to take! The ceremony and photos and reception she took so many photos that are great and perfect and bring me back to that day every time I look at them !

Ashley & Patrick

Kristine was amazing on my wedding day! She arrived on time, was super organized, and took incredible photos. We got many beautiful photos with our family, had a really fun time with her during our couples' shoot, and she got great candids during our reception. Kristine was very unobtrusive, many of my guests didn't even realize we had a photographer! I would recommend her again and again to anyone looking for an event photographer <3

Marissa & Remy

Kristine was an absolute dream to work with! We had our wedding date and overall plan change dramatically multiple times due to the pandemic, and Kristine was so accommodating and flexible. I am not someone who feels comfortable in front of a camera and she really brought out the best of me on my wedding day! It was super helpful to have the engagement photoshoot included in our package to help us figure out what works best for us before the big day. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of my photos. Thank you Kristine for the beautiful memories!
