What did you do before you did this?
Acting, marketing, and theater touring.
When and how did you get into the wedding industry?
In 2007; we came up with the idea at 7 am one day, had the legal name and business structure created by noon, and $15,000 of equipment purchased by 3 pm. The rest is history, my friends. 🙂

Our style is uniquely genuine because our style is “pretty” and natural, in-the-moment, emotion-filled, and timeless. PRETTY never goes out of style!
What is your favorite thing about what you do? What’s your WHY?
Honestly, it’s the people! Making lifelong friends, hearing the stories, the sense of family that is developed by the end of the day is truly very fulfilling and gives you a grateful heart.

Casa Feliz – Unique, original, ornate, and one-of-a-kind. The textures, colors, charm, and class of the venue are second to none.
Mission Inn – The best all-inclusive wedding venue in Central FL. Absolutely perfect for ALL of your guests’ wants and needs: golf, pools, tennis, amazing cuisine, first-class service, and accommodations. Not to mention, their wedding team is phenomenal.
Grand Cypress (LBV) – Another amazing all-inclusive venue for both wedding day and for your guests’ vacations. Location is perfect! Logistics such as parking/bathroom/access are all top-notch. A bit of a classy blank canvas that can be made to fit your vision.
What some of their previous couples had to say….
“Kristen and Todd were amazing!! They did our wedding back on September 1, 2012 and I must say, whenever we look at our pictures, those memories become alive all over again. Great people, great photographers, and great memories!” – Moses and Crystal, Highland Manor
“KMD Creations is the BEST team of photographers! We used them for our engagement pictures and then again for our wedding. And we definitely plan on using them again (maternity, family pictures, etc). =) KMD is a husband & wife company that puts so much love and dedication into their work. Todd & Kristen truly want you to LOVE your pictures. I am definitely not the most photogenic person, so I was a little hesitant about our engagement session. Not to worry… they made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. And because of that, our engagement pictures turned out perfect. I HIGHLY recommend having KMD do your engagement session and then your wedding. By the time the wedding came, we were so comfortable with Todd & Kristen we didn’t even notice a camera was in front of us. Everything was so natural. The wedding day was calm and not stressful. We could act ourselves and didn’t have to put on a face in front of the camera. Having both of them there to photograph was amazing. While one was taking our pictures, the other was capturing “moments” that were going on around us. We knew we were going to love our wedding pictures….. but OH MY! THEY WERE STUNNING! They captured so many special moments that most photographers miss. Of course, there are those posed family pictures that we all have to get, but Todd & Kristen caught the special moments between my husband and I and our bridal party that mean so much to us. Looking at these pictures, all I can do is smile. Thank you so much, Todd & Kristen, for not just “taking pictures” but capturing the anticipation, love, laughter, and fun on our special day. We will forever have these pictures as a memory of the best day of our lives. KMD Creations is by far the #1 wedding photography company!!! “- Stephanie and Zach, Four Seasons Orlando
“From the moment I first contacted KMD, they were nice, responsive, and excited. Todd and Kristen worked with our budget and what we wanted. They were not only within our budget, but they were also so much fun to work with! The pictures and film they produced were flawless. During our engagement shoot and our wedding, they directed us and our families in a way that got the job done in a timely manner, all while being respectful and kind. They helped my husband and I feel relaxed and have fun, even though we were nervous about being in front of the lens. They even remembered all the specialty shots I wanted of the day when I forgot! In short, you will not be disappointed with KMD creations. Their fees are more than fair, they are fun, knowledgeable, respectful, and their pictures are absolutely beautiful. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice. Thank you so very much KMD Creations!” – Alyss and Alex, Casa Feliz
