hey, i'm kaylie!

a detail-oriented & energetic photographer

I'm an empath all the darn way. I find joy in the smallest things, but I truly believe that life should be spent doing the things you love most with the people you love most. The way the sun perfectly kisses the mountains at sunset, the rattling speakers as I play Morgan Wallen a little too loud, and the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the morning (well, more like 24/7 because I have an unhealthy love for coffee), are some of the littlest things that make my heart feel so happy.

I believe weddings are about hosting a day that truly resonates with your story. I am ALL about the little things... those in-between belly laughs, the delicate hug your grandmother gives you, the way you look at one another. My approach is very photojournalistic. I work with couples who love to get down & have a grand ol’ time while prioritizing life’s special moments! My couples prefer to invest in quality over quantity & genuinely crave authentic & intentional connection this world is lacking.

ABOUT ME

People are my passion. I grew up in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina & worked in the hospitality industry for 6 years. In 2021 I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona to relocate my photography business & fell in love with all Arizona has to offer. My love for capturing weddings & couples stems from my intention to not only create authentic images, but to make a difference in couples' lives while curating a seamless & personable wedding experience.

On May 1, 2024 my now husband (Jackson) and I eloped out here in good ol' Arizona.

It's so crazy to think that I'm now 24 years old and freaking married to my high school sweetheart. It feels like just yesterday I was losing sleep at night because I had a crush on a boy I went to school with, but here we are. Married. Planning our futures. And doing life together.

Jackson proposed to me back in Charleston, SC (our home town) and I swear to you I was on the verge of blacking out because I was so nervous. The RUSH of emotions was so surreal to take in & being back in our home town with all of our family to celebrate with us was so amazing & the biggest blessing. We decided to elope because it was what felt right for us and now we're in the process of planning a big ol' party with our families back in Chs.

I prayed when I was younger for someone to do life with. A husband to start a family with. And a best friend I can be so comfortable around. Someone who would accept the best parts of me along with every flaw. We have a decade's worth of photos together, but our wedding photos are my absolute favorite because it really was the best day of my life!

Our relationship has evolved so much from every silly camera roll photo from high school to old polaroids from our move across the country to now having our wedding photos hung on our wall. Time really flies by, but having photos of our journey is the best gift of all.

I am a BIG extrovert and live for connecting with people wherever I go. Leave it to me to make a friend in the line at Trader Joe's, it's just who I am. Connecting with you & curating your wedding photography experience to fit your exact needs are my top priorities when we work together. I know I'm not the photographer for everyone, and that is 100% okay. My process is definitely more laid back than most, so if that is your kinda vibe, you've come to the right place!

to be completely honest,

i'm not like all the rest

when i'm not behind the camera, you'll find me...

Outside exploring any place where the sun is shining! Preferably anywhere by water, but I moved to the middle of the desert so we're a little limited on that lol...
