Kayla Esparza Photography

this past July. My clients were SO thrilled -- the end product was absolutely gorgeous and remains such a beautiful reminder of an epic celebration. Kayla was and continues to be super responsive and communicative, a bright and shining light for her fellow vendors, and a supreme talent. I'm looking forward to partnering with her again in 2024!

le, and just get pumped up! I loved her enthusiasm and she even joined us on the dance floor while snapping photos. I would highly recommend Kayla if you’re looking for an awesome wedding photographer.

ing job Kayla and the team did for us and our wedding! We found Kayla off a referral from one of my best friends, whose wedding I was in so I got to see her in action a few times but the second I saw her work I knew I wanted to hire her. Not only is Kayla professional, fun, and makes you feel so comfortable - she is honest, kind, and captures your special day better than you could ever imagine. Upon our first meeting for our engagement photos, she had us in our favorite place in SF joyfully dancing around to Whitney Houston not to mention joining us in a tequila shot to get us out of our own heads and ready to have fun! When we got to see each other again on our wedding day it was like reuniting with an old friend. We jumped right into our photos and it felt like just another normal day together! We cannot stop staring at all our photos and know we will cherish them forever. If you are looking for a photographer and/or videographer duo to capture your wedding day you'd be making a very smart move to hire Kayla and Truth! Thank you for being there with us on our special day!

and dreams for our unique wedding. She brings such a bubbly energy, and really knows what she is doing. I feel like I've known her for years and she is a close friend, which makes capturing the images feel so effortless and fun. She brought true joy to the experience, and our family, bridal party, and friends all commented on how incredible she and her husband Truth are. WHAT A DREAM TEAM! She went above and beyond, and stepped in to help my family when they were panicked with some mishaps with the wedding planner. Kayla came to the rescue and handled these things for them, just out of the kindness of her heart and whipped my planners back into shape. I came in on a horse, and there was some stress around the timing and flowers to be put on the horse, and when I would come in. Kayla stepped right in and helped them solve this and soothed their worries. All worked out beautifully! My ride to our first look was nowhere to be found, and Kayla and Truth coordinated who would drive my groom separately and they took me in their own car. SUCH SWEETIES! They hyped us up and got us so pumped for our photos. Kayla has SUCH creative ideas for photo ops, and I feel like we have the most unique and beautiful and joyful wedding photos out of anyone I know. Kayla's edits and the way she captures pure emotion and unique images is just *CHEFS KISS*! I could not have dreamed of a more perfect photographer. WE GOT CHILLS and cried our of joy when we saw all the beautiful photos she captured! Everyone in our life keeps asking who our photographer was because the photos are the most UNREAL and so beautiful. I LOVE that Kayla gets right in there with us for the dancing and captures the BEST night & dance floor pics! I haven't seen another photographer with this level of talent! KAYLA IS THE BEST, book her you will be SO pleased and surpass your own expectations! WE LOVE KAYLA AND TRUTH!!!!!! You will want them to be your friends for life after you work with them. Such dedication, and they truly listen and prioritize YOU and what you want to get out of the photos and what you want captured and have their own talented magical eye for it all. AHH SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! My heart is bursting from these gorgeous photos. ALSO SHE TOOK SO MANY!!!! We are THRILLED! My only regret is not booking Kayla for our engagement session!!!!!! IF ONLY. BOOK HER FOR EVERYTHING! Seriously, such an amazingly talented and kind and fun loving human who will take a shot of tequila with you and eat sour gummies with you and FEEL LIKE YOUR BFF WHO YOU HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN! HUGE thank you for going above and beyond for us. We are eternally grateful! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! <333333 XOXOXOXOX

extremely talented but she has the ability to make you feel super relaxed and create a fun lighthearted environment that makes being in front of a camera feel much more natural. She is also ridiculously fun to have around, it is like having another friend at your wedding. Her photos speak for themselves, and are just beyond words beautiful, I would pick her as our photographer over and over again if I had to go back.

my fiancé lost his business, all of which caused us to pull out from having a wedding at this time due to financial and mental circumstances. All of our vendors were VERY understanding regardless of the contracts we signed and agreed to give us a refund pending someone books the date (up until the week of the date), add on a slot to their bookings, or give us half the deposit back to help get us back on our feet. With that being said, Kayla only takes on a certain amount of weddings (per her) and I thought she could add the slot she lost (being us) and once it would book she could give us a partial or full refund. She was not having this. Took a month to respond AFTER a second email was sent. And she only allowed a month for someone to inquire about the date to get re-booked. xShe also was not willing to add another slot to the amount of weddings she takes on in 2020 to ONLY replace ours and not add more to her workload. Such a bummer as my mother in law to be works in the wedding industry and has helped her clients out tremendously as things happen in life that are beyond someones control. I would normally never write a review like this but I am just super bummed during a season of giving and because of the circumstances we weren't accommodated when accommodations could have been easily made regardless of a contract. Im sure she is wonderful photographer but maybe needs to be more flexible/understanding as I hope someone would do that for her family if she ever needed it. Writing this in hopes people keep in mind before signing a contract to account for the unexpected and find an accommodating vendor

ble with everything at our engagement shoot... and then made our entire bridal party feel comfortable at the wedding too! we love kayla! promise that she wont disappoint

onal as well. She's great at directing her models and has a really good creative eye for what her photos should look like. Anyone in the Northern California area should definitely reach out to her for your wedding needs.
