Keith and Lakyn were amazing from day one. They set up a call with us to talk about what it is we were looking for in a photographer and continued reaching out to us after booking ...
to keep the conversation going.
They were incredibly prepared for the wedding day and made the day so easy and seamless. The photos they took are incredible, it feels like we get to relive our special day over and over again. They made us, our wedding party and guests feel so comfortable capturing every moment without anyone feeling like they had to pose for every photo.
Thank you Keith and Lakyn from the bottom of our hearts for being there with us through our wedding process and capturing what was the best day! Can’t wait to work with you again on other photography opportunities.

of the day, and truly made us feel like they were on our team to get though the wonderful, but of course always a little stressful, day. The heat of the day made it hard to have everyone outside for too long, and they made the most of every second so we didn’t miss any of those important moments. Keith was great with all our family and guests. We got many comments on how kind and fun they were as team. We were thrilled with the results and our wedding album was fantastic. We could not recommend them enough!

ible skill and artistry. The way they documented our day truly felt like they understood the essence of “us,” and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Not only are they talented photographers, but they were also so much fun to work with! Their energy, humor, and professionalism made everyone feel at ease, which resulted in the most genuine, beautiful photos. From wrangling the bridal party to capturing the candid moments we’ll treasure forever, they made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.
If you’re looking for photographers who bring creativity, precision, and a personal touch to their work, Keith and Laken are the ones to choose. They went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the memories they helped us preserve!

Keith worked very well with our videographer as well. We got SO many edited photos in the end. Highly recommend! Also loved our engagement session with Keith. One of our favorite vendors and will definitely use them again in the future!

There aren’t enough words to truly describe how absolutely wonderful Keith and Lakyn are! They captured our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and I am in awe by the tale...
nt that they have. They know how to make photo shoots fun, personable and overall a once in a lifetime experience. They added so much value to our special moments not just by capturing pictures that we will cherish forever, but by being incredible humans who only added smiles and happiness throughout each interaction. They work wonderfully with other vendors (even with a videographer we decided to hire super last minute that they hadn’t met) and they will go above and beyond to capture photos that exceed their clients expectations. They are so creative, professional, detail orientated and truly dedicated to producing the highest quality photos. Saying we highly recommend them wouldn’t do it justice!! If you are considering hiring Keith and Lakyn for any photography needs, DO IT!!!! You will be beyond ecstatic with your choice to work with them! Thank you Keith and Lakyn for making my husband and I’s day so perfect just by being apart of it and for capturing moments we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!!!🤍

From our first initial meeting with Keith, my husband and I got in the car, immediately looked at each other, and said those are people. After getting our previews back, and we rec...
eived them rather quickly, we knew we made the right choice. Then when we got our final photos back, it was even more clear we made the right choice. Keith & Lakyn do a wonderful job of capturing real moments, and none of our pictures looked staged or fake. They truly captured my husband and I beautifully in all of our photos. I highly recommend having both Keith & Lakyn there the day of, especially if you aren’t doing a first look, and will be getting ready in separate locations. They’re a dynamic duo who gets the job done. We were amazed at how ahead of schedule we were pre-ceremony. What I also loved about them is that they’re willing to work with you. My husband and I had already taken engagement photos when we hired them, and I was not interested in having bridal photos taken, so I was able to sub those out for other things. Bottom line, hiring them is going to be the best thing you will ever do!

Keith and Lakyn really are the best of the best. We felt so blessed to have them with us through our entire wedding journey. We were originally supposed to get married in May 2020,...
so COVID hit us hard. Thankfully, Keith and Lakyn were amazing through it all - they communicated clearly, checked in on us, jumped on the phone whenever we had another change of plans, and made us feel so comfortable even with everything up in the air. In terms of their photography skills, they're amazing. The pictures from our engagement session, first wedding day, and our "sequel" wedding a year later are absolutely gorgeous and somehow even better than I imagined they would be. One of my favorite things about Keith and Lakyn is that they are always learning and growing as photographers. When I first met with Keith in 2019, he showed me albums of his work over the years and it was really cool to see how their skills have gotten better and better. And finally, it's worth mentioning that Keith and Lakyn are genuinely just the best people. I'm thankful we chose them as our wedding photographers but I'm also thankful that we know them as humans. Absolutely could not recommend this couple enough. If you're looking for stellar people who you can trust and rely on to perfectly capture life's big moments, you've found them with Keith and Lakyn.

anding of my requests in editing a burn off my arm where I clumsily burnt myself the day before (So sorry!!) The lighting in every photo they captured was truly remarkable. They have such a gift in capturing the light in the best way. They are a dream team and while Keith is finding the best picture to take in one angle, Lakyn is in another corner capturing the moment in a whole other light. It brought so many different perspectives into our wedding day photos! They also give back so many photos to choose from. They are with you every step of the way and provide a timeline down to the 5 minute marker. It is so organized. I wasn't worried about photography at all throughout the entire wedding planning process. I recommend them to as many people as I can. Please please use them as your photographer. You will be so lucky to work with them (:
