Kayla did such a great job and we loved all of our photos! She always captures the special candid moments and her personality makes you feel comfortable which is helpful for people who don’t love being the center of attention like myself. Her prices are also very reasonable! Would definitely recommend using Kayla for your photography needs!

Kayla did such an amazing job for our wedding! She was so prepared and professional, but also so fun and kind. She’s extremely responsive and very easy to talk to. Not to mention our photos were even better than I could have imagined! She captured the exact style I was going for and did so well communicating about the pictures after the wedding! I’m normally so picky about photos of myself but Kayla made me look so beautiful! ❤️

Thankyou so so much!! It helps me more than you know. That was so sweet 🥹🫶 I wanted to wait alittle before asking to see if it was just processing, but The Knot one isn't showing up for some reason. If possible, can you copy and paste to that one as well? I don't doubt you did it, technology just sucks lol.
I will attach what you put on the Wedding Wire!

Kayla was professional, fun, caring, and overall awesome for our wedding. She was very organized and prepared. We will most definitely be using her going forward!

6/5, 12/10 if I could. Kayla was amazing. She did our engagement photos and wedding photons and both turned out even more perfect than I could have imagined. Kayla is very fairly priced, she is kind, and super creative. We will definitely be using her again for future family photos!

Kayla is absolutely amazing! We first came into contact with her in 2017 for our wedding and we were so impressed with her work, we continued to work with her for years. Not only are her rates affordable, the quality of work is amazing. She is very quick to communicate back during the entire process. During the shoot, she is your #1 fan! I highly recommend Kayla as she truly feels like family at this point in our lives. She has gone on to not only shoot our wedding, but couple photos, maternity shoot, and just recently newborn photos. You cannot go wrong with Kayla.

Using Kayla Marie Photography for my wedding photos is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My husband and I were literally in tears when we first looked through them. Kayla is so so talented at what she does- it is extremely clear that this is her passion! Everything about her work is spot on, down to the color work perfectly matching our color scheme and overall style. I am even happier with the photos than I thought possible, and receive so many compliments when showing the photos off. Kayla, thank you SO much! If you are looking for a photographer, do yourself a favor and look no further!

Kayla was a wonderful addition to our wedding day! She worked with me on making a list of groups for photos, and timing of photo sessions. Her attention to detail was superb and ALL of her photos came out amazing. She was very professional but also very personable and had a good sense of humor - she fit right in with the vibes of the group. She captures all of the intimate moments of your big day, from your tears to the most goofy of grins.

Kayla was the photographer for our engagement photo session as well as our wedding in March 2021 and we could not recommend her enough. She made us feel comfortable while shooting, showed up prepared, communicated well, sent the photos to us quickly afterward, and the product of her skills and passion was clear in the photos we received back.

Amazing photographer! Kayla Marie Photography shot both wedding and engagement events for us. Our engagrment shoot date was so cloudy and drab but she worked her magic and all the shots looked so vibrant and full of life! On the day of our wedding every precious moment was captured and no detail was left unphotographed. We have "picture" perfect memories to last a lifetime and couldn't be happier. She is a delight to work with and keeps things fun. 10/10 would recommend her for any event any time!

I have hired Kayla for newborn photos and wedding photos. She has such an amazing talent and catches perfect moments. She is very professional and friendly. I was very impressed with my photos. You won’t be disappointed if you hire her.

Kayla made our big day absolutely flawless. We had no idea on what type of photos we wanted for our wedding day and she was able to take the mood of our wedding and reflect that perfectly in our photos. She helped us get in the correct positions for the perfect shot, while still making sure all of the personality was captured. Naturally, my groom and his groomsmen had their own ideas for photos and she was able to work with them and get incredible pictures they loved (and the bride) lol. I let her know of what insecurities I had and she was able to make sure I felt absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be using her as our photographer for all future photos!
6/28/2023 • Caitlin E
Kayla is such a wonderful person to have around on your wedding day! Her photos and ideas are gorgeous, plus she’s such a funny and bright personality who works so hard to make your wedding day special. My partner and I chose her because we like her editing style, but we adored her because she was so fun to work with the day of the wedding. She’ll hype you up and is happy to work with you on whatever your requests may be. I highly recommend her!

Kayla was the photographer for our wedding and she was amazing! She was so cool, calm, and collected throughout the whole day even during some potential bridezilla moments. 😅 My Father in-law also commented on how professional she was.
We really wanted to do a first look and although Kayla had never done one before she was all for it and those pictures are some of my favorites that's she got, she really captured our feelings in that moment.
She also captured some RARE pictures of my Father smiling and I will truly treasure them for the rest of life.
My only piece of advice to future brides is to not skip making a list of all the photos you would like because when the day comes you're not going to remember anything. Also, make sure you schedule enough time for everything you want. Kayla did an amazing job especially since we didn't provide her with a list of all that we wanted. She's just a lovely person! Someone that you'll want to stay friends with even after the wedding.
Oh, and she got our photos back to us in record time, faster than I've ever recieved any professional photos! So that was definitely a plus as well!
