orn Kristen Elizabeth Weaver in Youngstown, Ohio, the 29 year old self-taught photographer has developed her craft over the last 5 years in Central Florida. Traveling across the country, she has worked with models, agencies and publications on fashion and editorial work.
sweet tea, all things cheese and rocky road ice cream. She is compulsively organized, color-coding everything in sight - from her closet, to her DVD spines. She loves office supplies and is terrified of wet paper. Her 2 most prized items are her vintage fashion magazine collection and a vintage collection of her grandmother’s hats (circa 1930’s).
In addition to shooting fashion and editorial, Kristen is known in the wedding industry for fusing her love of fashion with her passion for bridal portraiture. She is coveted by couples looking for an amazing experience and beautiful, timeless wedding images.
She is also incurably shy, and would prefer dinner with a close friend over a networking event - and so she blogs, as a way to share her life with others. There’s a comfort in being behind the scenes - which is why you’ll sooner find her behind the camera instead of in front of it. She credits Facebook as launching her business, only entering photography full-time in October of 2009.
In 2009, Kristen founded the international photographers event, Images for a Cure. The event, which supports The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, raised nearly $13,000 in it’s inaugural year thanks to the support and contributions of 239 photographers and 21 industry sponsors from 44 states and 3 countries. For 2010, the event has continued to grow in support and is now pending official non-profit status. Her photographer inspirations include Paolo Roversi, Mario Testino and Steven Miesels. In weddings, she adores Elizabeth Messina and Jose Villa. In her personal life, Kristen shares her life with her fiance of 2 years (no immediate wedding plans just yet) and his 2 children. She has an unhealthy obsession with
Models and brides, agents and executives have all praised Kristen’s intense work-a-holicness, attention to details and committed attitude. Her vision has been honored in International magazine features (Remedy Magazine, London 2009), and her soul has been shared with clients across the globe. Kristen loves to travel and hopes to someday share her vision of photography with others who share in her passion. She aspires to grace the pages of Italian Vogue and would love to stand on the European countryside with her camera, her muse and a couture Chanel gown. For now, she’ll continue to read, to study and to grow from her townhouse in Central Florida, until she makes her dreams come true.
