CANDID & NATURAL IMAGERY
HOW I AM DIFFERENT
The secret to candid wedding photos is to be truly present for every moment. I’m sure you’re thinking, “well of course, but how do we do that?” Providing you with upfront guidance & resources to eliminate your stress is my number one priority for you leading up to your wedding day. Your entire experience working with me is a shoulder to lean on through every step of the way so you can feel your best.
On your wedding day I will be right by your side from beginning to end while guiding you through each event on your timeline! The last thing I want you worrying about is "uhh this feels awkward.." or "wait, where do I put my hand?" Candid photos stem from the in between & raw moments you experience on your wedding day, and that is exactly my job to capture those for you so you can focus more on being present with one another.
My goal isn't to take trendy photos. My goal is not to recreate. My goal isn't to treat your big day as a way to enhance my own portfolio. I am here to simply capture every moment on YOUR day & to celebrate with you like family! In an industry full of "anything for the shot" my #1 priority is your feelings & your values. If we don't feel like family by the end of your wedding day, then I have done my job all wrong.
photos that take you back, every time
relive your day, feel every second
Look no further! You have found THE PERFECT wedding photographer.
Look no further! You have found THE PERFECT wedding photographer. Kaylie was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish; between her invaluable wedding guidebook, check-ins and planning meetings, and seriously FUN and sweet personality, she was simply the best. She's professional, organized, responsive and creative, and super kind on top of all of that. She captured our vision perfectly, and both my MIL and mom have commented that they've never seen my husband's or my smile and joy captured so naturally. Kaylie over-delivered at every turn, and her organization and prep really shown on our wedding day, when we seamlessly knocked out all of our family and bridal party shots before the ceremony, and got to enjoy our time with our family and friends without feeling rushed or tethered to a timeline. Now, the only problem we have is picking which photos of the hundreds she took that we want to frame in our home. Kaylie is the best you'll find, and we hope to work with her again down the road for some family photo sessions.

She truly made us feel so relaxed and special. She really became like a friend to us.
Where to even start… Kaylie is SO extremely talented. I was left completely speechless by her work on both our engagement and our wedding photos. Not only is she the sweetest human alive, but is extremely professional and AMAZING at what she does. She made everyone in our wedding party feel so comfortable and natural while taking photos. She truly made us feel so relaxed and special. She really became like a friend to us during the planning process and it is very apparent she truly cares about her clients. She goes the extra mile with sending over other vendor recommendations and other information most photographers wouldn’t even think to do.

i am not the photographer for everyone, and i fully understand that.
I absolutely thrive when working with couples who are more than just clients. If you're the kind of couple that's always down for a good time, values investing in high quality experiences, and cherishes the beauty of making new friendships then we are already off to an amazing start! Your desire to feel truly present on your big day is the center of my approach. If laughter is your love language and you know how to appreciate a good (or terrible) dad joke, then we're a perfect match!
If you want to look back in 20 years and see photos that still allow your wedding day to feel alive, then you've come to the right place. You won't find me following a shot list because I am not here to recreate a wedding you've seen in Vogue... Your wedding day is yours for a reason, because it's a reflection of you and your fiancé's preferences, not some cookie cutter reflection of what a wedding "should be." Your feelings shouldn't revolve around a shot list. Your photos should revolve around your feelings.
my approach is a little different, my goal is to capture...
the intimate promises exchanged & emotions felt as you delicately slide on your wedding bands
the tight squeeze you give your lover right before you sign your marriage license
the joyful cheer your guests give you as you walk into your cocktail hour to kick off the evening
all of those in between laughs
how your table was left as you ran to the dance floor when the DJ played your favorite song
the tight hug you give your loved one after saying "I do"
the delicate clinking of champagne glasses following your toasts
the smiles on your parents' faces as they watch you marry your soul mate
the toast you give with your closest friends before you walk down the aisle
what it's like working with me as your photographer
I do things a little differently around here! My approach is very photojournalistic & in the moment. I prioritize connection with every couple I work with to ensure we truly resonate & establish trust with one another. I am VERY detail oriented & LOVE to have fun so I keep the process simple and seamless!
Throughout my 6 years of being a photographer, I designed your wedding experience to be intentional with what matters most to you at the forefront of the entire process. If I had to pick who my spirit animal would be… it would be Buddy the elf. Two of my favorite things? Smiling & laughing. Screw how deep my smile lines may be in 20 years. I am here for a good time & ready to celebrate with you how YOU want to! I just have a camera to my face throughout the process lol!

Anything outside of those requests are not services I provide.

This information will be added to your customized 40 page wedding guide filled with everything you need to know to feel confident and fully prepared for your wedding day!
