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.

January 2024, I got to begin my year with the most amazing surprise... I flew home to Charleston to visit my family which turned into my (now fiancé) flying across the country as well to surprise propose to me in our home town. I now get to be a bride myself!

Now I am not just the girl behind the lens, I am also now in the process of planning my own wedding as well! From choosing the perfect venue that matches our vibe to figuring out the intricate dance between colors and decor, it's been both exciting and, let's be real, a tad overwhelming. And you know what? I get it—I truly do.

Besides your wedding photographer, I am also your wedding therapist, your shoulder to lean on, your personal guide to planning a wedding that speaks to you.

I've been in the wedding industry for 6 years and now finally understand what it's like to have a unique perspective from both sides - as a wedding vendor & a bride to be.

I am here to be on YOUR team! I know the pressure, the excitement, and the desire for everything to flow naturally & effortlessly. I am here to capture the essence of your day with the understanding of what it's like to plan a day that reflects your vision. Let's chat, but not just about photos, but also about your vision, what you're most excited about, & what means the most to you for your special day! I am not just here to capture your moments, but to be a part of yours.

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...
