Krisanne Johnson

 

I'm a documentary photographer based in New York. My work is rooted in observation and shaped by a long-standing focus on everyday moments and human connection. Weddings became a natural extension of that work — a way to photograph people as they are, within one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

I work in a way that’s collaborative and unobtrusive — stepping in when needed, and stepping back when it matters. The focus is on creating space for people to feel comfortable, so the day can unfold naturally and without pressure.

Testimonials

"As artists ourselves, we wanted someone truly dedicated to the craft of photography to shoot our wedding. A good friend pointed us towards Krisanne’s incredible documentary photography and mentioned that she also photographed weddings, lucky for us! We found exactly what we were looking for working with Krisanne. She was very communicative in the weeks leading up to the event to make sure that we were all on the same page. On the day of, she and her second shooter worked seemingly effortlessly with our large family and large crowd. She so successfully captured the joyous spirit of the occasion in every photograph. Of course, the stunning photos speak for themselves (thousands of words each!)."
