The balance between intention and spontaneity

With a deliberate eye and a grounded presence, Kayla gently guides when neededβ€”while leaving space for the unexpected to unfold.

  • "For the entirety of our wedding weekend, Kayla was such a soothing, calming presence, who struck the perfect balance between directing us and making sure to not interrupt the flow of things."

    β€” LAINEY & DANIEL

  • "Kayla put both of us and all of our loved ones at such ease. Even before we received our sneak peeks, we and our families couldn't stop raving about the experience of working with her. Your photographer can have an outsized impact on your wedding -- not only will you look at these photos forever, but a good photographer can set the tone for the day. Kayla has such a relaxed and grounding presence, and our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. "

    β€” NEHA & BEN

  • "Everyone at the wedding and welcome party complimented how β€œinvisible” they felt, while still being present to catch every single moment. The range they got from getting ready moments, to portraits, families candids, all the special parts, and the party - the whole gallery was so dynamic yet felt cohesive and gave us so many beautiful options."

    β€” HANNAH & JULES

  • "Not only did I feel incredibly comfortable with her, but I had so much fun with her all day. She captured every dream shot I hoped for and so many more that I couldn’t have even imagined. Her eye is just unreal."

    β€” SARAH & MARSHALL

  • "There were so many amazing shots of moments I missed and it was so beautiful to be able to see them in photos. She captures the day in a documentary style and her edits have an editorial flare - the perfect combo in my opinion. Our photos are everything we dreamed of and more. "
