Highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look beautiful for their special day, or any other day!
After spending what felt like hours and hours looking through websites trying to find the perfect photographer, we eventually came across Kayla Ruth Photography and we're so thankf...
ul we did!
Everything we could have ever wanted in a wedding photographer, Kayla brought and was so much more! Not only is Kayla incredibly sweet and easy to work with, but the photos she takes are breathtaking (and that's an understatement).
There is something to be said about Kayla's craft and style, as we believe she truly stands out among the many talented photographers out there. Not long after we received our engagement photos back, we printed some of our favorites out and hung up them on the wall as we were just in awe with them (even the associate that handed us our prints in the store commented how beautiful the photos were!).
When we received our wedding photos, we could not stop smiling when looking through them as Kayla captured the essence and style of our wedding in such a beautiful way. Our friends and family members have commented that our photographer was amazing and we couldn't agree more!
It truly was such a pleasure to work with Kayla and it's clear that Kayla is an experienced photographer with a natural talent for taking exceptional photos. If you're contemplating on who to have as your photographer, reach out to Kayla Ruth Photography. We're certainly glad we did!

ing. She made sure we felt comfortable posing for our engagement and wedding photos and made sure to get the best angles and and backgrounds. She also provided a really good amount of photos from our day both color and black and white. We loved all of her pictures and having her there to capture every part of our wedding!

Working with Kayla was wonderful! Our engagement session went perfectly and so did our wedding day. She did exactly what she needed to do to keep our wedding party focused as time ...
(and sunlight) worked against us. Keeping a bunch of tipsy groomsmen in check is a skill in my book! We got our finished gallery back a little over 4 weeks after the wedding and they are absolutely gorgeous. She even added some snow in for us because she knew we were hoping for some flurries. Highly recommend!!
Kayla did an absolutely incredible job! Our photos look beautiful and she was so great to work with! Kayla knows exactly when to take charge and when to let the moment happen. She ...
was so patient, but also kept us and our attendants/family focused. I have a 1.5 year old nephew, and Kayla's experience with kids made her the perfect photographer for our multi-generational family. 15/10 would recommend! Next time we need a photographer, Kayla will be the first one we call.

Working with Kayla was a great experience! First, we had to push our wedding back almost a full year due to Covid and Kayla made that change so effortless. We also coordinated on m...
ultiple occasions ahead of time to make sure that everything we wanted for our wedding day was captured and Kayla was great with back and forth communication. On the day of our wedding day, the weather took a turn for the worst for a few hours and during our first look it was super windy and cloudy but nonetheless our photos came out incredible thanks to Kayla’s talent! Something that my husband and I love is candid photography and we got so many great photos from Kayla from our wedding night of everyone just having fun. Overall, we are absolutely in love with our photos and our experience working with Kayla, she is a sweet, supportive, and incredibly talented photographer!
Kayla and team were awesome, we went with Kayla Ruth Photo for both our engagement session as well as our wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kayla was so wonderful. She gave me such comfort leading up to the day of and also meeting her was like we had already spent hours together. She made us all comfortable and excited...
to be there. She truly knows great poses and let’s you have fun. She captured my day without letting herself be too known which I believe is talent in itself. I never felt like I had a photographer in my face, just a friend sharing in a moment. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos and you’d be silly not to hire her for your future events
Kayla did an excellent job capturing our wedding. She asked great questions prior to our big day so that she could get to know us and tune into what we really wanted out of the day...

We were married in 2016, and Kayla took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She did a fabulous job with both, and we have so many great photos on display still, even thou...
gh it was several years ago now. She captured all of the important moments, but some of our favorites are the candid shots she got of our family and friends. She's competitively priced, especially compared to what I've heard others have spent on wedding photographers, and honestly I think her photos are better too. She has the ability to capture the essence of a moment, while still getting and artistic shot.
Kayla did our engagement pictures and they turned out beautifully. She really knows how to make a couple feel comfortable and capture that beautiful golden hour light.
Hoping for...

getting some creative shots that I would have never thought of. I was worried about being conscious of the photographer during the ceremony and if events, but I should have known better. Kayla was a total pro who blended in to the background and allowed us to have the intimacy I desired She captured every special moment beautifully. And if you want to work with someone you like, it’s simply impossible not to love Kayla. She is simply a beautiful person who captures beautiful images. Could not recommend her more highly.

After following several photographers on social media, my husband and I decided to go with Kayla Ruth Photography for our wedding. We absolutely loved her style, and after contacti...
ng her, we knew immediately that she was the perfect fit. We initially met about 6 months prior to our wedding to do an engagement session together. Kayla was professional, kind, and open to allowing us to be ourselves. The pictures turned out amazing, which made us even more anxious for her to photograph our wedding. We got married on a Friday afternoon, and it was very sunny and breezy. We made an impromptu decision to move our ceremony and reception indoors due to the cold, but Kayla took it in stride. I really wanted to have our first look before the ceremony take place outdoors because I loved the look of our venue. Kayla took the time to scout out spots where we could get pictures without having to deal with harsh shadows, squinting, wind, etc. She worked well with us, and everything flowed smoothly. Right before the first look and again before the ceremony, Kayla came to check on me and help calm my nerves. She captured all of my "must-have" photos, and came up with some suggestions for poses that turned out great. She also wasn't afraid to crawl on the ground or get wet/dirty to capture the perfect shot. I have gotten so many compliments on our photos, and I owe it all to Kayla. She really listened to what we wanted and helped our vision come to life. My husband and I agree that we have found our go-to photographer. We have had more photos done with Kayla since our wedding, and we plan to continue using her in the future! I 100% recommend her work!
