Krista Scarlavai Photography

Krista photographed our wedding on April 1^st. She did a fantastic job. She was extremely calm and has a great way of capturing moments without anyone knowing. For both the engagement and wedding day photos, I gave her suggestions before we met on things I liked and thought might be good for pictures. She took those suggestions and made them even better with her photography eye. She took gorgeous pictures in downtown Chicago and was able to capture the essence of the city while also keeping the picture focused on us and our bridal party. At first, I was a little worried that she wouldn’t capture all the wedding day moments since Krista works alone and doesn’t have an assistant; however, fear not. She did an incredible job of snapping numerous photos of every special moment throughout the day. We received our photos back in roughly 3 weeks, and I cannot describe how unbelievable they are. I can’t choose which ones I want to print because they are all so great. I posted them on Facebook and have been getting so many inquiries from friends and family asking for more information on our photographer. If you do not have a photographer for your wedding and are looking for someone who captures amazing photos and is reasonably priced, book Krista as soon as possible.

Can’t say enough good things about Krista! We had her come to our home and photograph our newborn son and everything about the experience was fantastic. She was incredibly responsive to all my emails leading up to the shoot and then on the day, she arrived right on time and was so easy to work with. She caught all the shots we asked her to — plus more. We couldn’t be more pleased with the way that all of the photos turned out and the moments that she captured. We just received the prints that we ordered through her site and they are beautiful.

Krista was awesome at my sister’s wedding never missing a beat while behind the scenes. From getting there early, to staying well past her time. She captured beautiful moments that we’ll cherish for a lifetime to come. Never rushing us and super great with everyone from crying babies to crying grown ups. Thanks again Krista, we’ve found our photographer for life.

We hired Krista to shoot our wedding and I can’t tell you how happy we are that we did! She really takes the time to get to know you, and it shows in her photos. She captured my husband and I, along wtih our family and loved ones, perfectly on our big day. She has a great eye, but also loves to take suggestions and will work with you to create the perfect plan for your shoot.
In terms of price, she is extremely reasonable and offers different customizable packages. Her turn-​around time is also amazing! I’ve heard of brides having to wait months to get their photos. We had ours in three weeks!
There are tons and tons of wedding photographers out there — many who are high maintence and overpriced. If you want the best, hire Krista. Aside from weddings, I believe she also does family and individual sessions as well. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future to capture other important moments!

Krista did a wonderful job photographing my wedding in Chicago. She was very professional, easy to work with, and understood that we wanted more candid than posed shots.
Every time I looked for her she was right there, shooting away, but she was never intrusive. She got lots of pictures of wonderful moments throughout the event, and every time I see them I relive all the joy and fun of the day. It doesn’t hurt, either, that she made me look great!
