Eileen was our wedding photographer and we could not be happier to have worked with her, or more thrilled with the results. The photos are absolutely stunning! We were truly blown ...
away by how beautiful they are. We chose to work with Eileen because we liked her work and then when we spoke with her, we knew she was a great fit for us. We love the mix of candid shots that capture the mood and emotions of the day, and the more formal portraits that are beautifully composed. She did an amazing job with challenging lighting in a historic venue, which is a testament to her skill. She is professional and lovely to work with. Eileen, thank you so much for capturing the joy of our day!

The photos are absolutely stunning, and both we and our guests have been blown away by how beautifully she documented the day; these are images we will cherish for many years to come. Eileen also went above and beyond on the wedding day itself, stepping in calmly whenever things got hectic and making sure we always looked our best.

When my husband and I first started researching wedding photographers, I reached out to friends and family for recommendations. One friend recommended Eileen and said, "If she's av...
ailable, just book her and stop looking."
Having worked with Eileen for our wedding, I would give the exact same advice. If Eileen is available for your wedding, stop your research and book her!
Leading up to our wedding, communication with Eileen was organized, clear, and genuinely enjoyable. Her guidance and recommendations were always spot-on. For example, when we were working on our timeline, I initially thought I had too much buffer time during the getting-ready portion of the morning and wanted to condense the schedule. Eileen advised that we'd want that extra downtime. She was absolutely right - we needed every minute of it! The wedding morning ended up feeling easy and relaxed rather than rushed.
Our engagement shoot with Eileen was a wonderful opportunity to meet her in person and get comfortable in front of the camera. She had scouted incredible locations in our area that we didn't even know existed, which made for stunning photos.
On our wedding day, Eileen and her assistant Jul were wonderful presences from start to finish. Eileen gave us just the right amount of direction without making us feel overly posed or stiff. When we received our photos, we were blown away - Eileen and Jul captured so many special moments that we love reliving. The composition, the colors, and the candid shots are exactly what we hoped for. Thank you Eileen!

edding as a guest also mentioned her to us - so we could not have felt more supported and pleased working with her!! She has a truly infectious laugh that immediately put us at ease and was so game for everything we wanted - including extra photos with our dog and a sparkler/firework moment instead of sunset photos! We opted for her 8-hour package and a second shooter, which was her equally adorable sister Jul, and couldn’t be happier with that decision. We had photo preview only 3 days after our wedding and our full gallery within 3.5 weeks!! We were blown away by how easily accessible and shareable the online gallery is, plus she mailed us the most beautiful custom box, small select prints, and USB. Eileen truly made our day feel so special and captured all of the raw emotions we were feeling that day!! We will certainly use her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!

Eileen was fine. Many of the photos were overexposed but we did get some really nice ones. She also inexplicably included some really terrible ones — including a guest mid-sneeze.
...
We had a call with Eileen prior to the wedding establishing time and place of meeting. She emailed us the week of with no recollection of the call and telling us she would be shooting for 3 hours rather than the 6 we agreed upon. This was a bit stressful and when we corrected her, she blamed it on a typo rather than taking ownership for forgetfulness.
The day of the wedding Eileen seemed unhappy to be there. To be fair, we got married in the middle of a busy wedding season, but it was to the point where guests commented on it after the fact.
It seems like our experience was an outlier — possibly because we were an out of town couple planning from a distance. Eileen was prompt in sending the photos back and we did really get some gems. That said, we probably would not book again.

We have loved sharing the photos with friends and family across the US and across the world. We can't recommend her enough!

Eileen still took the most beautiful pictures even in the pouring rain! The lighting was fantastic.

I would totally recommend to anyone that they should work with Eileen- she was amazing from engagement through the wedding day. I also think her pricing is super fair and her photography is BEAUTIFUL. She really captured the emotion beautifully of our event- the pictures are an amazing keepsake. Thank you, Eileen!

g, we worked with her to determine all the pertinent information she’d need to make the most of the day. And when that day came, that work led to a seamless event. Family and wedding party photos were all taken pre-wedding, and that was a really fun process for all of us. From then through the end of the night seemed to fly by so quickly, but Eileen and her assistant, Jul, seemed to be everywhere capturing all of the happiness and excitement of the whole day. We’ll treasure these photographs for the rest of our lives. And we’ll treasure working with Eileen too. We’d be more than happy to recommend Eileen K Photography for any occasion. She rocked it on our wedding day, and we’re confident that she’ll rock anything else that she points her camera at! We can't recommend her highly enough.
