About
You plan the question. I'll help plan the moment. I'm Kristi, the photographer behind Kristi Lyn Photography, specializing in surprise proposals, engagements, adventure sessions, elopements, intimate weddings, and outdoor portraits throughout Southern Utah and the Southwest. Some of my favorite sessions require a little adventure to get there. We can hike to an incredible overlook, take a side-by-side into the backcountry, boat across the lake to a secluded shoreline, ride a ski lift to the top of the mountain, or head somewhere completely off the beaten path. But adventure doesn't have to mean extreme. If you'd rather have a beautiful, easily accessible location with an incredible Southern Utah backdrop, I can help with that too. Planning a surprise proposal in Southern Utah but don't know where to start? That's part of what I do. I'll help you choose the location, figure out the best time and light, plan where you should stand, and work through the little details that keep the surprise a surprise. Many of my proposal clients are visiting from out of town, so you don't need to know the area—you just need to know you're ready to ask. I also help with location recommendations, permits, timing, lighting, and the logistics that come with photographing in some of the Southwest's most beautiful places. Sessions begin at $525 + tax, with final pricing based on location, travel, permits, and the adventure involved. Come with an idea, or come with absolutely no idea at all. We'll figure out where we're going together. Adventure is worth remembering.

Kristi Lyn was fantastic as our engagement shoot photographer! She had the best ideas about how I should propose to my fiancée. She took gorgeous pictures that we will treasure forever. If you want to have the best photographer to take beautiful engagement pictures, you can’t do better than Kristi!

Kristi could not have done a better job. Before our wedding, she was prompt with her communication and laid out pricing, timing, and what we could expect of her. During our wedding, she took AMAZING photos of not only us, but of our family as well. Her pricing was competitive and the portal she set up for our photos was easy to use. After the wedding, she provided prompt editing and got us dozens and dozens of pictures immediately. Going with Kristi again would be a no brainer!

Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Outdoors • Flash drive

Thank you, Denver, for the kind words. I cannot express how meaningful your ceremony was and how touched I am that I got to witness the love of your family. All the best for the two of you as you move on.

Kristi was beyond perfect to capture my proposal moment with the love of my life. Gave me tips on where the best location would be in the area, being from out of town that was invaluable info. Made us feel comfortable, had a blast with her and love the photos too! Highly recommend

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for my surprise proposal. I swear Kristilyn is absolutely amazing in every way. As a man fumbling through one of the most important days in my life she understood how important this was to me. The helpfulness and guidance from every one of her answers to my numerous questions was about making the moment perfect. As I had to hide my conversation from my now fiancé Kristilyn couldn’t have been more accommodating. We talked and planned for weeks to capture the moment at its purest form. Of course no amount of planning can foresee the weather. Yet the night before the clouds were about to open up and spoil everything, a message popped up on my phone “let’s pivot”. We talked through everything from timeframe, location, outfits, etc. I went from a nervous wreck to no matter what happens, everything is going to be ok. We changed the timeframe by over 7+ hours and guess who kept me informed the whole time, Kristilyn. My mind was at ease and I was nothing but concentrated on the task at hand. Asking the love of my life for her hand in marriage. As we had talked through everything before hand. My location was perfect the background couldn’t have been better. I knew my cue and didn’t miss the mark. Not only did I gain a partner in life, but the best photos of that moment I could have asked for. Don’t hesitate to message Kristilyn because she will get back to you with all your questions answer and see how simple she made everything. Again I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work to make our special day perfect. Thank you so much Kristilyn

Kristi was phenomenal! She clearly has lots of professional experience not only in the photography world but with helping plan my surprise proposal! Kristi went above and beyond to commute to the location of choice including getting there over an hour early to prep and find the perfect private beach setting at Lake Powell. Would certainly recommend and thank you Kristi for your support!
