KMT Photos

How do I even start!? First I want to say how thankful I am to have found Khali to capture my fiancé and my engagement photos. We are from out of state in the Midwest, and immediately felt so comfortable especially being so far from home. Khali knew the location like the back of her hand... to the tide times, sunset, parking lots to pick in a crowded area, and even provided an exact pin point for us to find each other. Secondly, the photos turned out just amazing and I couldn't stop staring at them. My fiancé and I have never had our photos professionally taken, and it was so special for us to feel so comfortable right away and have amazing photos to look back on in this season of our life. Khali, thank you so much, you're so gifted and I'm glad we found each other.

Where do I start!? I absolutely recommend Khali for any special event in your life!! I stalked many photographers pages before I got engaged and I KNEW she was the one I wanted for our wedding from the moment I scrolled on her page. When we got engaged she was the first person I reached out to the following day 😂 I told her jokingly I would change my wedding date based on her availability and I was not kidding! We booked engagement shoot back in January and Khali was such a dream to work with. It was my first time behind the camera and I was so nervous but she just made us so much more comfortable. We were just in awe at the photos!! Stunning, a literal dream! Khali was there for my million and one texts I sent 24 hours a day lol we were both planning our wedding at the same time so it felt even more special to have someone on our team who understood our vision. She was always there to reassure me for anything. She has the best suggestions and even gave us an outfit/color guide for our shoot (so damn helpful) Our wedding planning had a huge wrench thrown in the week before our date. We had to switch ceremony venues very last minute. When I tell you I was panicking so bad… Khali immediately had a zoom call with me to iron out the details and location. She was so accommodating and her assistant as well. In the end everything turned out so amazing!! She captured our downtown urban wedding sooo magically. Every detail was so perfect. I wanted her to shoot a first look with my father, and I still get the chills looking at those photos!! Khali was by far my most favorite in our wedding team. Left this process with a friend AND a future photographer for any major event! We will treasure these photos for the rest of our life. And so happy we chose her to document the best night of our lives!!

Khali is THE wedding photographer to have. She's an amazing photographer and a fantastic person. I had my eye on her when I was scrolling through Instagram one day, and before I was even engaged wanted her as our photographer and I was overjoyed when I was able to book her. She was a joy to work with from our initial email to the end. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, recommending other amazing vendors and helping with our wedding timeline. Even with last-minute changes, she was very accommodating. On the day of our wedding, she fit right in with the bridesmaids during makeup and she was able to make up for lost time after I was a bit late getting ready. And when it came to pictures, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera (my husband and I tend to be awkward when getting our photos taken). And the photos themselves? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I will cherish those photos forever. My husband and I cannot recommend Khali enough!

I didn’t know I was going to end up choosing Khali as my wedding photographer. When I initially found her, I was only focused on finding a photographer to take our engagement photos. I knew I wanted to take my engagement photos at the Columbia River Gorge, so I googled “Gorge engagement photos.” Khali was the second photographer on the search results list (albeit, she should have been number one). I remember viewing the gallery of Madi and Ben. I was in awe of how Khali was able to capture the love and joy of this couple. I loved the color scheme of their outfits and the variety of scenery in the photos. I was sold! Being that I live in Iowa and she lives in Oregon, Khali made accommodations for us to connect via Zoom. The entire call was great. Our conversation flowed naturally and it felt like I was talking to a friend. Khaki did not make the call feel like business; She kept it casual and genuinely made an effort to get to know me and my fiancé. We learned that we both loved Friends and that we met our soon-to-be husbands on dating apps! I went into the call to get more information about booking her for our engagement photos, but left the call deciding to book her for our wedding as well! Khaki sent a care package prior to the engagement shoot and it was full of pre-wedding goodies! Things like this really showed how much she cared about us as clients. When we finally met during the engagement shoot at the Columbia River Gorge, I knew that she was the one! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and even drank a craft beer with us afterwards. When it came time for the wedding, Khali was geared up and ready to go. She and her co-photographer were mission-oriented, but in the most inviting way possible. My entire wedding party loved her! When she delivered our gallery, my husband and I were in absolute shock. She captured the nerves, tears, love, joy, and fun that we felt during the entire day. Khali is one-of-a-kind. I gained a friend during this experience. Could I BE anymore grateful?!

When I was starting to plan our wedding, the one piece of advice I kept hearing over & over again was if you were going to splurge on anything, splurge on your photographer. The photographs are what lasts forever, everything else is temporary. So when my friend showed me Khalis page, I knew she was the right fit & I was basically willing to pay any cost to have her photograph my wedding. I never even looked at a single other photographer once I’d viewed Khalis work. We decided to go for the most inclusive package she offered as we wanted to do the engagement shoot & truly, her prices are super reasonable so it was well worth it. I was overjoyed to find out that not only does she take breathtaking pictures, she’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We were pretty nervous for the engagement shoot as we’d been dating for 11 years with barely any pictures to show for it, we were not super comfortable in front of the camera. Khali talked us through everything and gave us all kinds of prompts so we not only felt comfortable, the pictures looked effortless as well. When it came to the day of the wedding she was absolutely amazing, we knew we wanted minimal of the same old boring posed wedding photos & more of the candid moments captured. Wow, did she come through. I not only have hundreds of candid photos of my wedding that I will treasure forever, but yet again when working with my husband & I she was able to capture moments that look beautiful, intimate & effortless. I will truly treasure these photos for the rest of my life & not only do I recommend Khali to anyone getting married, I absolutely plan on hiring her again to capture future relationship milestones. Reasonably priced, insanely talented & one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

We love Khali!!! From start to finish, she made us feel comfortable and part of the process, while giving invaluable input into one of the most special days of our lives. She took the time to meet via video multiple times to get a sense of what was most important to us and help us guide the day. Day of, she was our biggest cheerleader, making us feel confident and wonderful in front of the camera while still allowing our true selves to shine. The end products are magnitudes greater than we could have even imagined and we are so happy to have such intimate documentation of our day. In short, we cannot say enough good things about Khali. She is kind, easy to get to know, spectacular at what she does, and a true gem to work with. Thank you so much!!!

How do we even begin to describe how truly wonderful Khali is?! She is personable, timely, professional, INCREDIBLY TALENTED, the list could go on and on. From the moment we met Khali, we knew our decision to choose her to photograph our day, was the right one for us. She made us feel so comfortable (something both of us were nervous about since we had never been photographed before), we were afraid it would be awkward, but there was literally never an awkward moment. She was able to capture our love perfectly and having these memories to look at for the rest of our lives is something I will forever cherish. The other great thing about Khali is that she made herself available throughout the planning process to answer all my questions and give me guidance. This was huge! I would 10000% recommend Khali to everyone and I can’t wait to use her in the future to capture our family as it grows and changes. She started out as a photographer, and we left with a lifelong friend. Book her today, you will not regret it!

KMT Photos is very professional, but also makes you feel comfortable. She is very down to earth and you can tell she works hard and loved what she does. It was an honor to work with her.

Khali is a dear friend of ours and we have ALWAYS loved her work. When she had the opportunity to take photos of my boyfriend and I, we jumped on it! She is talented, respectful and a joy to work with. This was the first time we had taken professional photos and we were a little unsure of what to expect. Khali made us feel comfortable, informed us of her extremely organized process and made the whole experience fun (and you can see that from the photos she took of us, they’re gorgeous). It’s been a pleasure to watch Khali through her photography journey and it’s just getting started! Whether you’re looking for engagement/ wedding photos or just a couple great pictures to hang in the house, Khali is your girl. I’m so excited to see where Khali’s journey and pure talent take her.

Picking Khali as our photographer for our engagement session was the best decision EVER. She is so fun, silly, easy-going, professional, timely, and kind. Her photos are incredible and speak for themselves but she is also just a great person to hang out with! I can't wait to use her for my wedding and any other photos I need in the future. I would never look to anyone else.

Khali at KMT Photos is just a wonderful photographer and so easy to work with. My wife and I had what we thought might be too ambitious of a plan for our wedding photos and Khali absolutely exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for capturing our special day in such an incredible way. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends!

Khali was INCREDIBLE!!! We booked our couples shoot a few months in advance and she was so communicative leading up to our shoot. She offered us options in terms of locations (we aren't from the Oregon area) and the spot we ultimately chose was gorgeous!! She sent us an outfit guide, and was there to answer any questions we had throughout the process. In terms of the actual shoot it was so much fun!! Khali is such a joy to work with, always cracking jokes and giving us prompts in order to get incredible photos. My boyfriend is not usually not into taking pictures but after our shoot he said "that was so much fun, that's how all photographers should be". Then there's the actual pictures we got, and let me tell you, we were blown away! She got us our photos back in less than a week! I love the way she captured our love, all the photos captured us perfectly and are so gorgeous. We cannot stop looking at them!! I would 1000% recommend Khali, she really is an incredibly talented photographer and such a welcoming person that is a joy to work with.

What good things are there not to say about Khali!?! When I booked my session months in advance, she was nothing but helpful when random questions popped up and was helpful bringing my dream into a reality. Seattle holds such a special place in my heart, but even more now with her help planning a secret proposal during our session on the Seattle pier. She was so sweet, so freaking funny, and honestly just a breathe of fresh air. I absolutely loved every minute of our session & already knew a few minutes in I wanted to book another. I truly love all the photos she sent & as worried as I was, about my own personal issues with my body and such, she captured the best in every photo. She knew how to capture the genuine love between Logan and I, and I can’t stop changing out my phone wallpaper with all of them ( LOL ). I am so happy to be able to look back, and not only remember an amazing trip to Seattle, but the excitement of getting engaged and having Khali there to document the occasion perfectly. If you’re are looking for a photographer, look no further. Khali is your gal 🤍

Not only are Khali’s photography skills amazing but she is the most genuine and kind human being! She is so passionate about love and captures it beautifully. Khali guides you the whole way through photoshoots and events so you can feel comfortable. Back when my husband was my boyfriend, we had a couples shoot. I remember him being nervous before what was his first photoshoot ever. During and after he kept saying how comfortable she made him feel! Our pictures turned out so wonderful that we had Khali shoot our engagement pictures on the beach in CA and our wedding in AZ! We love all of the pictures Khali has taken of us. Our wedding pictures are of course our favorite! I’m so glad we have continued to hire her for our pictures over the years. It has been so fun to not only have a badass photographer but a friend who has watched our lives change and our love evolve! 💙 We couldn’t recommend her more!

Khali is amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photos and both turned out amazing! She was so helpful in posing us for the engagement and she caught the sweetest moments in our wedding. Her prices are fair and so worth the cost! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Khali took my elopement pictures. She was so kind, helpful and enthusiastic. She truly made the day special with her energetic and engaging attitude. The pictures were ready just a week after and they were absolutely beautiful! She truly captured everything I could possibly want for my elopement. ❤️ we are already thinking of the next session we’ll get to have with her!

Khali has been an absolute dream come true! Honestly finding a wedding photographer can be such a challenge because there are so many options, especially in the PNW, but we couldn’t be happier that we choose Khali! Her style of photography sets her apart from all the rest and she truly captures every moment perfectly. During our engagement shoot, we felt so comfortable and had an absolute blast, it was in this moment that we knew we made the right choice (even before we got all our photos back). Speaking of our photos, they are incredible and something we will treasure forever. We appreciate how flexible and supportive Khali has been, due to covid we have had to postpone our wedding celebration a few times, we feel so lucky to have such an understanding and honoring vendor like Khali. Everyone do yourself a favor and hire Khali, she will not disappoint!

We are so glad we went with Khali as our wedding photographer! She has such a talent for light, color, and capturing the story of the day. Her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and give you direction is on point... something we were a bit nervous about going in. Our final album completely blew us away... we wholeheartedly recommend her as an important part of your big day!

Let me just say she is AMAZING!! Not only as a photographer but as a person! She drove a ways away for our dawn beach wedding! She made us feel so comfortable and thats hard since my husband and I are very awkward people. The pictures turned out beautiful! People are amazed at how stunning they are when they see them. You will not regret hiring Khali for your special day!

Khali is such an amazing photographer. She is professional, kind, TALENTED, and is the ultimate hype woman. Her photos are top notch, she made my partner and I look so good and I loved every single shot. I cannot recommend her enough!

We’ve worked with Khali twice now, and I cannot recommend her enough! Her photos speak for themselves. The stories and the love she captures seems so effortless, and the moment you meet her, you see why. She is so easy to work with and has such a positive energy. My fiancé told me after our most recent photo session “I’m really glad I let you talk me into this, that was so fun and they look so good!” Coming from Mr. “I hate having my pictures taken”.. that is the highest compliment!
