“I cannot say enough amazing things about Kayla. Our experience with her as both our engagement and wedding photographer was absolute perfection from start to finish. Even her website and intake process set the tone — thoughtful, clear, and organized. Her phenomenal talent for capturing authentic moments is matched only by her professionalism, preparation, communication, sense of adventure, and genuine warmth.
We first discovered Kayla when my fiancé tried to book her last minute for the proposal. She was already booked (thanks to his last-minute planning!), but he loved her style so much that he shared her work with me afterward. We reached out, filled out her inquiry form, had a “get to know you” call, and immediately knew she was the one. She selected the most stunning locations for our adventure engagement shoot — all while accommodating my fiancé’s recent injury and planning thoughtful backup options in case of bad weather.
This was our first time ever taking professional photos, and Kayla made us feel completely at ease. She created this magical little love bubble for us, made us laugh, and turned the whole experience into an absolute blast — which meant genuine, beautiful, joyful photos. She even went above and beyond to meet our high-energy, reactive dog ahead of time so he could comfortably be part of the shoot.
After our engagement session, there was no question who we wanted to capture our big Southern California NYE wedding — and the “just married” adventure shoot we planned on the ski mountain afterward. It had to be Kayla.
For our 150 person wedding, Kayla and Pat made both of us feel relaxed and somehow like Vogue models at the same time. They put all of our family and friends at ease in front of the camera and managed group photos with such confidence, grace, and efficiency — even in the pouring rain! Kayla kept us on time, kept the energy high, and made it all so fun.
They also celebrated with us on the dance floor, blending right in with our guests while still capturing every moment we hoped for (and plenty of artistic, unexpected shots we didn’t even know we needed). A few days later, Kayla met us on the ski slopes — on a windy white-out day — and still managed to deliver the most amazing “just married” photos, adapting to the weather, group dynamics, and our skiing abilities with ease.
Truly, you’d be silly not to book Kayla. She is a rare combination of talent, heart, and positive energy, and we are endlessly grateful she was the one to document our story.”
