Storytelling wedding photographer
I am KRISTEEN VANG
Hi, I’m Kristeen — a San Diego-based wedding photographer drawn to honest connection, meaningful moments, and timeless imagery. I’ve loved photography since I was young, first finding inspiration in nature and family, and that love has grown into a passion for documenting stories in a way that feels warm, intentional, and true.
As a Hmong photographer, I deeply value culture and tradition and love preserving the meaningful customs and details that make each celebration so personal. While I’m based in San Diego, I love traveling wherever there’s something special to capture.
When I’m not third-wheeling love stories with my camera, I’m probably sipping coffee, deep into a show or drama, building LEGO sets like a kid at heart, chasing sunsets like it’s my full-time job, or off on a random road trip with my husband and our two chaotic (but lovable) dogs, Daisy and Dexter.

My philosophy
 
My philosophy is rooted in capturing your story as it naturally unfolds — with honesty, intention, and heart. I’m drawn to the quiet in-between moments just as much as the big ones, because those are often the memories that feel the most meaningful. My approach is centered on creating timeless imagery that not only reflects how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
