What a gift it was to have Kailee as our wedding photographer!! Easily the best decision we made during our planning process. Kailee is professional and SO talented. Her passion tr...
uly shows through her work and we are so impressed with her. We had an engagement photoshoot about a year our from our wedding and she helped us feel so comfortable taking professional photos together for the first time! During our planning process, Kailee was so organized and made sure to check in with us often to see if we needed any help. On the day of, she was so calm, present and thorough, again, making sure to check in with us to see if there were things we wanted captured that we may have missed. We are so, so grateful to be able to look back at the gorgeous photos Kailee took for us!!
Kailee was one of our favorite wedding vendors! From the very beginning her bubbly personality made us feel so comfortable and we were excited to work with her! We planned our wedd...
ing from a distance and despite that distance, Kailee communicated exceptionally well and never missed a beat. When the day finally came, her calm demeanor put us at ease and we felt totally comfortable. She was so professional, took her time with our pictures, and made us feel and look like a million bucks! Her photography alone is what grasped our attention, but her personality and the way she can make you feel cared for is what really stands her out from other vendors. She is a vendor that is passionate about her work and her clients. She is accepting and loving of everyone and that is what we love most! 10/10 recommend! She’s simply the best!
Kailee was amazing to work with! We had our wedding delayed twice due to construction delays and illness, and she was always willing to stick with us through it all. She helped us ...
out in more ways than she knows and was far more generous than she needed to be. She was so much fun to work with on the wedding day and our previews are beyond stunning. I can’t wait to get back our pictures and I cannot recommend kailee enough.
Kailee was so nice and personable! She made us feel so relaxed during our session.

Hiring Kailee was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made for our wedding! We are already in love with our sneak peek photos we received and can’t wait to see the rest. Me and m...
y husband are both pretty awkward in front of the camera and Kailee made us feel so comfortable. I’ve truly never felt more beautiful than I do in these pictures. She is an amazing photographer and we are also in love with her editing style. She also has been SO accommodating with any requests I’ve had through the entire process (before the wedding, the wedding day, and after the wedding when editing).
If you’re considering hiring Kailee for your wedding I’d recommend booking her ASAP!
Kailee is simply the best! Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, she is also a wonderful, kind, thoughtful, lovely person! She made my now-husband and I feel so comfortable th...

at she does. From engagement pictures to wedding photos, I seriously cannot imagine a better person to have captured my husband & I!! We are goofy and awkward and she captured us perfectly. Her experience and personality stand out so much and show in her work. I will recommend kailee until I die!!

Her knowledge of the industry is incredible and she truly knows how to work efficiently the day of your wedding to make sure everything stays on schedule. I knew my wedding was in good hand while working with her. I feel honored that I was able to have Kailee as my photographer. Booking with Kailee was one of the best decisions I have ever made!!
Kailee was our wedding photographer and she did an absolutely amazing job! Our venue was on the smaller side and the dressing rooms didn’t have the best lighting but she still made...
everything work. She is professional and confident in what she does, she helped us come up with a timeline and gave us lots of tips and tricks that were very helpful at our wedding. She made my wedding planning experience less stressful because I 100% trusted her. Kailee is such a kind and bubbly person who is so easy to get along with that she makes the awkwardness of having your photo taken go away. She takes amazing photo’s and I definitely recommend her if your in need of a photographer.

Kailee is the BEST EVER!!! She is so incredibly talented and I am still in awe over our wedding photos. Choosing her to be our photographer was the best decision we made throughout...
the wedding planning process. She made everything so easy! Kailee helped us with our timeline and had great communication, she was there whenever we had questions. I was a little nervous about getting professional photos taken during our engagement shoot but she guided us through the poses and truly became our hype woman! Her personality makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Kailee for capturing memories that we will look back on for the rest of our lives. You absolutely killed it and we appreciate you more than you know!!! ❤️

We loved working with Kailee! She created such a fun and relaxing environment and the pictures are incredible!
Kailee was by far the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding! With all the stress that goes into wedding planning and with how indecisive I usually am, our choice in pho...
tographer and knowing the quality and talent behind the photos we would get back was the one thing I never wavered on or ever thought to even worry about. From engagement session to wedding day, I was, and still am, truly speechless looking at every photo Kailee delivered to us!
Kailee made us feel so comfortable and made our engagement shoot super fun!! When I first spoke with her, I felt like we instantly connected. She had perfect questions and was inte...
rested to actually get to know my fiancé and myself, deeper than what’s on the surface. As a designer, it is challenging to choose another artist with the same vision for our big day, but I am more than confident that Kailee will capture each moment perfectly. Thanks for being amazing, Kailee!!
I am also a photographer and I think Kailee is the best! Whenever we plan do get more pictures I’m going right to Kailee. She makes you feel so comfortable and is so good at explai...
ning poses. For our wedding my top priority was pictures and she left me speechless. We could not be happier with Kailee!
Kailee was the most perfect addition to our wedding day. She captured our love in the greatest way and all while doing it effectively. Another thing about Kailee and her packages t...
hat we found special was that she includes an “anniversary shoot” for you & your significant other. This was so unique and the tipping point for my husband and I to choose her. I wish I could give this rating a 10/5. If you’re contemplating using Kailee as your photographer……. dont!!! Go with her, You won’t be disappointed!
We found Kailee while searching for photographers on this site. I went to her website and knew she was going to be our photographer based on that. She was so responsive and gave al...
l the info needed to make a decision. Wedding planning is stressful and one thing I knew was that I wanted vendors that were attentive and available when I had questions. She made us feel so comfortable while taking pictures and guided us through each pose. Prior to wedding day, she made the most detailed timeline and made any modifications we needed. She is an amazing photographer but also builds the best rapport, which is so important for such a special day!
Where do I begin? As a photographer myself, capturing our big day was a high priority for me! Kailee went above and beyond and was everything I dreamed of in a photographer! She wa...
s obviously born for this as you can tell from looking at her work. From her knowledge of photography, to posing and prompting, down to every little detail – she absolutely knocked it out of the park! Her bubbly and contagious personality made it feel like we were best friends :) We LOVE our photos so much and I just know that we will hold them close as a keepsake for a lifetime. If you’re searching for a wedding photographer, look no further, Kailee is your girl! 12/10 recommendation from us. THANK YOU KAILEE!
Kailee was amazing to work with. She made me feel comfortable and confident. She was kind and everything went very smoothly. My wedding was on January 22nd in Michigan, so we were ...
outside in the freezing cold taking pictures and I'm so thankful that she was cool with doing that. She sent us a sneak peek within a couple days and we LOVE the photos and can't wait to get the rest back. She was very responsive the whole time and was amazing and easy to work with when we had to schedule our wedding in 2021 due to COVID. Can't recommend her enough!
Kailee was very easy to work with and made me comfortable in front of the camera. Her editing is beautiful and each shot is picked so well. She is a great communicator and helps to...

as a photographer, she kept us on time and lead us through smooth transitions throughout our wedding day. She is bright, charismatic, and inspiring. She made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. Thank you so much, Kailee!
Working with Kailee was a dream come true! Not only does she have insane photography skills, but she has a personality that stands out just as much. Kailee was incredibly flexible ...
as our venue changed the night before the wedding. She rolled with the punches with us and captured such beautiful photos. I would recommend Kailee to anyone!!!! I cannot wait to get the rest of our pictures back. We will have a beautiful way to remember this day forever because of Kailee.

from her, she’s the best out there!
I cant express how flexible and amazing Kailee was with our COVID wedding experience. When our venue capacity limits were so restrictive that we had to cancel our wedding, she made...
sure we were able to flex our package into a couples session turned "first look". we were able to make those memories and use the dress! I was thrilled. Kailee made it so easy to feel comfortable and to get all the shots we wanted. To be fair, we didn't have to even suggest any because she thought of everything. She was quick to respond, professional but personal, and even brought a bouquet of flowers to use for the day. If I had to do the wedding experience all over again I wouldn't change a thing. It all worked out for the best! If you're looking for a sweet, flexible, above and beyond photographer who's all about making your memories last a lifetime, Kailee is the one. She's worth it!
Kailee is super professional yet has such a kind and bubbly personality. She makes it feel like your best friend is taking your photo. It’s easy and comfortable.

ith!! We had a covid wedding and changed plans last second by moving our wedding from MI to FL. Kailee didn’t even blink an eye and offered to fly to FL and bring her second shooter, Danielle, at no extra charge. My husband and I could not be happier with Kailee, she’s the best!! I also did a boudoir shoot with her, SO FUN and she made me feel super comfortable, I had a blast during the shoot! She’s the only photographer we will use!
My fiancé hired Kailee for photos of us near Lake Michigan. I had no idea that he was going to purpose, but Kailee worked with him and they pulled it off seamlessly! I was so surpr...

n I saw my photos for the first time. She is so sweet and gets a long with everyone. My husband hates getting his pictures taken but warmed up to Kailee right away. I won't go to anyone else for my pictures. Thank you again Kailee! You're the best!! So much love girl!

t her that makes you feel like you have known her forever; making you feel comfortable and at ease. Her work is absolutely beautiful and we could not be happier with the fact we choose her to document our special day. I will continuously recommend her over and over again.
For those on a budget Kailee is really accommodating and makes sure she has a package that can work for the both of us and I really appreciate how easy and fast she was when ever w...
e needed to communicate. My wedding was an intimate destination wedding and I am so happy with the pictures, I know I will book with her again in the near future.
Kailee was the one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. She constantly made sure we were accommodated and even did two engagement sessions with us when we found ou...
t we'd have to post-pone due to COVID. She made sure our new date was open for her schedule and blew our expectations out of the water. I love her style of photography, it is truly one of a kind. We are so in love with the memories she has provided us. On top of her amazing work she does, her personality is so sweet, and it truly shows her love for her career. We look forward to using her in the future and recommend her to any and everyone!
I am a fellow wedding vendor who has had the pleasure of coordinating 2 weddings that Kailee shot. Both Kailee and her second shooter went above and beyond for these couples. The p...

reat to with work Kailee, Jessie and Taylor. Photos are gorgeous! I don't like photos of myself and i LOVE these photos! Highly recommend Kailee, Her eye for detail and angles are prefect. Jessie and Taylor helped during the ceremony to keep things going. Worked very well with our DJ. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!! Thank you
Kailee is SO talented and amazing to work with! I think her photos speak for themselves...they are so beautiful. All of my family and friends told me she took the best wedding phot...
os they had ever seen and I agree. She was always friendly, fun, and professional. On top of all of that, she got her photos back to us really quickly. We never expected to love so many of our pictures and are having a difficult time picking out which ones to display in our house (because there are too many magnificent ones). I would recommend Kailee to anyone for any type of photos. This girl is going places!! :)
Starting the process of finding a photographer I was extremely nervous. I had no idea what I was looking for, besides someone who cared about their clients and their photos. Kailee...
and Jesse went above and beyond this for me. Kailee has been planning with me since early 2018. She has watched Avery and I grow as a couple and counted down with us. Having her has a part of our wedding day, she was not just a photographer but a piece. I cannot imagine having another photographer tell our love story. I would recommend her to anyone.
We hired Kailee for our wedding day and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. We had the best time at our engagement shoot and our wedding was even better. Kailee ensured she c...

er photos are keepsakes that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to have worked with a photographer (truly, a visual storyteller) that was so professional, fun, relaxed, reliable, and artistic. I WOULD RECOMMEND KAILEE TO ANY BRIDE and will definitely be keeping up with her work and use her for any future events. Thank you, Kailee Marie Photography!!!!
Kailee is the BEST wedding photographer. Period. I provided her with a list of must have shots and she printed it out and brought it with her and got every single shot. In addition...
to that, she is so flexible! She was willing to accommodate us when we had a last minute emergency. She always double checked with me to see if there were any other pictures or poses I wanted. She definitely has a creative mind and was able to find the perfect backdrop for our pictures in downtown Kalamazoo. She made our lives so easy by giving us clear directions on how to pose and what to do as well as moving quickly between shots and poses. It’s very obvious that she is an expert photographer and has done many, many weddings. She had us do formal poses as well as funny and cute poses too! She was very personable and kind and very easy to work with. Also, she got us a sneak peek on our photos the very next morning! Just look at her photos, they speak for themselves! I cannot recommend Kailee Marie Photography enough!
Kailee has taken photos for us 3 times now and is absolutely amazing. She does everything in a professional and timely manner. I gave her a list of photos I would like and she was ...

Kailee kept in constant communication with both my husband and I leading up to the wedding and on the day of to make sure we had a set expectation and schedule.

We couldn’t imagine a better person to capture the big and little moments on our wedding day! 10/10 would recommend!!
Kailee was amazing and she made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera when we usually feel really awkward and hate photos. She gave us a few sneak peek edited pi...
