REFINED AND UNFUSSY STORYTELLING FOR YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS

ABOUT KRISTINA ADAMS


Kristina Adams is a California-based wedding photographer known for refined, unfussy imagery that balances an editorial instinct with an intuitive documentary eye. Long before she photographed weddings, Kristina was the child carrying a 35mm Olympus point-and-shoot everywhere, attentive to the small gestures and unscripted moments that make a story feel alive.

She studied at Harvard and spent a semester in Paris studying film photography with Philippe Vermes before beginning a career in management consulting and brand strategy, helping to guide the future of Fortune 500 companies. That background still shapes how she works today: observant, prepared, calm under pressure, and attuned to both the people in front of her and the environments they create.

Kristina eventually left the corporate world to pursue photography full time. She now photographs weddings and private events across the West Coast and in select destinations on film and digital, capturing the beauty of a celebration without losing the relationships, humor, movement, and fleeting moments that make it matter. All couples are welcome here.
