Where do we even begin?! Kymmy is truly a queen! From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. Her professionalism, creativity, and calming presence made us feel comfortab...
le and confident every step of the way.
On our wedding day, she captured everything—the big moments, the small glances, the happy tears, and the wild dance floor energy—with such authenticity and beauty. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Every image is filled with emotion, light, and love.
Not only is Kymmy insanely talented, but she was also so kind, patient, and fun to be around. She blended right in with our friends and family, and somehow was everywhere without ever being in the way.
We are beyond grateful for the memories Kymmy has given us and will treasure these photos forever. If you're looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation and give you photos that truly tell your love story—look no further. Kymberly Janelle Photography is THE ONE!
Five stars isn’t enough. Kymmy from the start was extremely professional and organized! She also made us very comfortable when it came to taking pictures. Her quality of work is ex...
ceptional. We’ve received many compliments on how amazing our engagement and wedding collections turned out. I’m so glad we will have these amazing memories to look back on. My advice is to stop your search and hire her. You won’t regret it.
Kymmy is AMAZING. Obviously her photography is FIRE, you can see that. Additionally, she was my personal hype woman the year leading up to our wedding and even afterwards. On the d...
ay of, she ran a TIGHT ship, which I really appreciated. It was obvious it was not her first rodeo. She knew exactly which shots she needed to get, identified creative opportunities to get beautiful shots, and had the perfect demeanor for orchestrating the day and working with all of the different personalities. She, our planner Hailey Humiston from Hitched, and our videographers Baysinger Films, were a DREAM TEAM. She's a great communicator. We felt natural in front of the camera thanks to her direction. And the photos turned out beautifully. I now have some of my favorite photographs of all time. Can't say enough good things about Kymmy. Hire her and relax knowing you've got the best in the biz.
Kymmy has been a dream to work with!! After our first meeting it was evident how organized + passionate Kymmy is about her work. My fiancé and I had a blast during our engagement s...
hoot, and Kymmy did a great job of prompting us to have natural poses/ hyping us up. We were blown away by all of the photos - it was so hard choosing just 2 for the save the date! Choosing a photographer was the hardest vendor choice for me, and I am so thankful that we found Kymmy. We are walking into our wedding with no stress over photography!
Kymberly is the best in the business. She is so organized, and her experience helped ease all of my stress leading up to the wedding, espeically the day of. I appreciate her devoti...
on to her clients. She ensured that all of my questions were answered and all of my ideas were heard through multiple meetings and text messages leadng up to the big day. I was in shock by how quickly and how MANY pictures I received as a "sneak peak" just four days after the wedding. I received my entire gallery (800 photos) in just under a month! Insanity. She captured all of the emotions throughout the day and snapped the cutest candid photos of our loved ones -- many were moments that I was too busy to enjoy the day of. The love that helped pose everyone to make everyone more comfortable -- including my husband. You would have never guessed it; the pictures look so natural & I love the minimal editing style that Kymmy has. Overall, Kymmy was exceeded all of my expectations & I will recommend her time and time again.
We really loved working with Kymberly. From day 1 we noticed how organized she was. She asked us engaging questions to help plan our wedding day. She had very creative and tasteful...
ideas for both our engagement and wedding photos. She helped create the wedding schedule for the entire day, and was very good about keeping to it.
Overall we can’t say more on how great she was to work with, and would highly recommend her for any occasion.
Kymmy was absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I are not really “picture people” but everything felt so natural with Kymmy. I loved when she would look back at a picture and get excit...
ed…instant self esteem boost! She really captures the couple and their personalities.
Everyone has the list of the standard pics to take with family and wedding party, and Kymmy was so efficient getting those done. I had many people, including multiple bridesmaids, say they were the easiest wedding photos they have ever done!
Kymmy really has passion for what she does and for her clients. She takes the time to capture all of the moments and edits the pictures just the perfect amount. It’s honestly hard to decide which pictures we want to hang because they’re all so good!
I would absolutely recommend Kymmy for any photo needs. We will continue to use her in the future for all of ours!
I was so nervous about finding a photographer, knowing that our weeding photos would be the one thing that could take us back to our day. After my first conversation with Kymmy, I ...
just knew that she would be a good fit. She is efficient, organized, and makes sure that she covers every little detail ahead of time so the wedding day goes smoothly. Her crisp, clear images are timeless and I was shocked when she sent up >1000 beautiful images from our day. We had so much fun working with her and appreciated her timely responses, clear communication, and fun personality. Cannot recommend enough!
Your photographer is arguably the most important wedding vendor you book, which is why you NEED to book Kymberly! Going into wedding planning I had no idea what to expect and she m...
ade this entire process so easy and fun. She is organized, great with communication, and her work is incredible! Throughout our big day she was so efficient with our large wedding party, and we got our sneak peak photos the very next day! I cannot recommend Kymberly enough!
Kymmy was amazing! She was so organized throughout the planning process and then completely took charge on the day of to make sure we had all the photos we wanted. She made my husb...
and and i feel entirely comfortable and as a result our photos look great. She also did a great job wrangling our large bridal party with a smile! The icing on the cake was getting a sneak peek gallery of 50 BEAUTIFUL edited photos not even 24 hours after our big day had ended. Seriously cannot recommend her enough.
I love Kymmy!! She is seriously so organized and communicative it is amazing. She made our wedding pictures easy and fun while also being fast on the hottest day!! My husband and I...
were so impressed with her questionnaire and they made pictures day of go smoothly and quickly! Thank you for everything Kymmy!
Kymmy is a fantastic wedding photographer! She is personable and easy to work with. It can be intimidating to be in front of the camera, but Kymmy made it a breeze and fun for us. ...
The portraits of my husband and I are absolutely stunning. She is so energetic and can wrangle any large, rowdy group into a photo and have it look good. (She did family photos for our wedding with 75 people in one photo! It turned out amazing!) All of the pictures we received are gorgeous. And we got them all early! Kymmy is also so efficient- we were on time or ahead of schedule all day. We were able to get all the photos we wanted and planned for, plus extra ones. I recommend Kymmy to anyone who needs a photographer, especially a wedding photographer!
Where do we even start! Kymmy was incredible from day 1. Both of us are by no means comfortable in front of a camera. We expressed from the start that we’d need help posing and loo...
king natural, to which Kymmy said “no problem!” And boy did she mean it! We look like naturals in our engagement and wedding photos! When we booked Kymmy in December 2020, we were still in a long distance relationship and hadn’t been able to commit to an engagement photo date. Soon after, we both moved 8 hours away, putting an even bigger wrench in our potential engagement photo date. We found a weekend to come back to KC and Kymmy helped us pick outfits and locations that went with our vibe to prep. We made it to KC, but the weather for Sunday was looking like we wouldn’t be able to do any outdoor photos, so more than 75% of our session wasn’t going to be possible. Kymmy worked with us to squeeze us in Saturday evening last minute so we could still take our engagement pictures without coming back to KC again! We even got amazing golden hour photos!! We had SUCH a fun time with Kymmy during our engagement photos! Kainon is anti-pants with buttons, so making him wear leg prisons for 2 hours was going to be a struggle, but after our session, he admitted he had such a fun time, even in leg prisons! After our engagement photos, Kymmy kept in touch to help us plan for wedding day! We didn’t hire a planner/coordinator so Kymmy was SO helpful in creating a day of timeline and walking through logistics with us. She was so responsive to all our questions and made us feel as important as her sooner couples through the whole process. We had the best time on wedding day with Kymmy, too! After seeing the finalized timeline, Kymmy suggested cutting an hour off our contract as we had plenty of time to capture everything we wanted in 9 hours instead of 10, saving us a little money, which we really appreciated! Kymmy came early and was so prepared for the day! We got fabulous getting ready shots and candids of both sides of the wedding party! Kymmy’s eye for flat lay photos is unmatched! She worked with the layout limitations of the venue so well and managed to keep Kainon and I separate before our first look despite both areas looking directly at the front door. Kymmy was so much fun during our portraits and party photos! Our entire wedding party was laughing the whole time and everyone looks so natural! She found the exact right spot to do portraits where you couldn’t tell we were in the middle of downtown and had the best lighting! Kymmy was so efficient during the ceremony and family pictures. We have big families and lots of photos to take, but we ended up getting through them in enough time to enjoy some of cocktail hour! Despite the dance floor being cramped with tables while we had our first dance, Kymmy got amazing pictures during our first dance and cake cutting! We have such fun memories from the reception memorialized because of Kymmy’s eye and ability to predict the best angle/subject for the moment. After the day, Kainon and I were so impressed with how well she commanded the room and kept us on track and on time. Kymmy really went above and beyond for us and we’re so grateful! We had sneak peeks before we got to our honeymoon destination and our full gallery less than 3 weeks later! Overall, we cannot recommend Kymmy enough! Truly one of our wedding day MVPs!
Kymmy is absolutely amazing!! I met Kymmy 2 years ago on the airplane by chance. I took one look at her Instagram and knew I needed her for our wedding day. She makes you feel so c...
omfortable in front of the camera, like you have known her for a lifetime. She knows exactly how to pose you for any and all photo opportunities, and she returned our entire wedding gallery in ONE MONTH. As I always tell Kymmy, she literally works magic!
Kymmy is so amazing!! We hired her to do our engagement and wedding photos, the best decision we made! She was so nice and kind, and was super helpful in making sure you get the be...
st shot. She’s your ultimate hype girl! On the day of the wedding, she was so helpful in making sure we were running on time, we were even 30 mins ahead of schedule! She always has your back and makes sure your vision comes to life. She even sent us sneak peaks a few days after the wedding! You will not regret picking her for your photographer, definitely a 10/10!!
Kymmy is as good as it gets!! We recently had her for our wedding and she was everything we could have asked for in a photographer (and more)! She was great about keeping everythin...
g on track and even got us ahead of schedule. Kymmy is so genuine and just made us feel so special on our day. She was truly the best hype woman!! We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Kymberly was amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photos and both were gorgeous! She was so helpful during the wedding day to keep us on track and even 30 minutes ahead of s...
chedule! She even stopped to make sure I ate lunch and to help me film some tik toks in our downtime. She dealt with my millions of emails and neediness and was so amazing to work with! She even had the wedding gallery back to me completed within a week from the wedding! WILD! Book her now!
Kymmy was amazing to work with from the very first moment we met with her. My husband and I instantly connected with her and knew she was the photographer for us. When she shot our...
engagement photos, her personality and her confidence relaxed both of us! She talks you through all the poses and in turn we got some very beautiful pictures. She made herself readily available to answer questions, provide advice, and to work on the day of shot list. As we approached our wedding day, KC had some bad weather a few days before. Kymmy scouted the locations we were planning to go to and had a contingency plan since one was off limits. My favorite part of our experience was hanging out with her. She is so great to be around that you could be taking photos for 4+ hours but it hardly feels like that at all! Not to mention, that because she becomes your friend the photos and moments, she captures are beautiful! We got our entire gallery WAY sooner than expected and are obsessed with all the shots to the point where it’s hard to decide what are my favorites! Highly recommend booking her and we will definitely be using her again!
Kymmy was literally the best! She was extremely outgoing, fun, and encouraging! She made sure my (now husband) and I felt comfortable on our wedding day. She was experienced and kn...
ew exactly how to create a beautiful photo. I highly recommend Kymmy to anyone looking for a photographer that can capture unique and beautiful photos, she will not disappoint! Kymmy made our wedding day feel so special and a day we will never forget 🤍
If I had to choose a single one of our vendors to tell everyone to hire it would hands down be Kymmy. We were impressed with her from our very first consultation. She is extremely ...
organized, easy to work with, and helped to keep everything on track. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but she made us feel at ease. Her photos are INCREDIBLE. Seriously. I don’t think she could take a bad photo if she tried. She gets galleries sent out in an extremely timely manner and her editing is beautiful, classic, and timeless (which was important to us). I seriously could go on and on. We will for sure be return customers!
I cannot begin to say enough good things about Kymmy! She was great to work with - very organized, helpful, and so talented. She created beautiful photos that captured our day perf...

If you are looking for an absolutely amazing photographer Kymberly is your gal! Kymberly has taken my senior photos, engagement photos and now my wedding photos and we could not be...
more happy with them. Kymberly was a dream to work with on our wedding day and ensured we got all of our dream photos while staying ahead of schedule. She is so professional, organized and talented. She ensures you are comfortable behind the camera and really brings out your authentic self which helps with wedding day nerves! All of her photos are stunning and never fail to amaze us. I also highly recommend her second company, KC Photo Booth Co, as it was a huge hit at our wedding! I can not say enough amazing things about her businesses and how genuine of a person she is. Kymberly is our photographer for life!
I cannot say enough about Kymberly! She was an absolute joy to work with. She is one of the most organized people I know and made me and my now husband feel so comfortable in fro...
nt of the camera. Not only that, the pictures turned out AMAZING!! She made the process so so easy and it is so nice to be able to meet and do an engagement shoot before the big day. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera, but Kymberly will pose you and cue you in such a way that it makes your pictures look so seamless, natural, and truly captures how much you love your forever person. Not to mention, her editing style is to die for. I was so drawn to it because she brings out the natural features of the person and the background to make sure you look like YOU!! Seriously, cannot be happier with Kymberly! On top of all the amazing pictures she is a super cool, dedicated gal that loves her job. This girl will make your big day SO easy!!! If you are between her and someone else, Kymberly is no doubt the way to go. Check out her instagram and see for yourself!!
Kymberly was the very first vendor that we booked. The moment we knew we needed a wedding photographer it was a given that we would hire her. Kymberly has been my go to photographe...
r for the last 6 years. We first met when I was graduating high school. She has photographed my senior pictures, engagement pictures & wedding. It has been an absolute pleasure to have her capture so many of my life’s milestones. She never ceases to amaze me with her eye for compositions. Kymberly is experienced, professional and an over all joy to work with. I highly recommend her!
Fate brought Kymmy to my fiance and I, but her kindness, genuine personality and TALENT will keep us coming back!!!
The day that my fiance proposed, Kymmy happened to be at the ...
same spot shooting a different session, noticed our engagement and asked her other client if she could sneak away for just a few moments and shoot a couple photos for us. We were blown away by her generosity and knew right away - we NEEDED to book her for our wedding.
Our engagement session with Kymmy was SO much fun. She made us feel comfortable, posed us and had us laughing all day.
We are so so thankful for Kymmy and her beautiful work. September 2022 cannot come fast enough!
My husband and I are also wedding photographers and we had a trip planned to Kansas City (where he is from) and we wanted to have a session for our one year wedding anniversary. Wh...
en I saw Kymberly's work on instagram and her website I absolutely fell in love with the intimate moments and timeless editing. She made is so easy for us to get out of our shells, because we are typically behind the camera as well. We are over-the-moon excited about how stunning our photos turned out. We can't wait to share them with our families as well as print them out for our gallery wall. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Kymmy is an absolute joy to work with! My fiancé and I had no idea on poses before the shoot but we didn’t even have to worry about that-she knew exactly what she was doing and was...
able to direct us. We had a morning photo shoot and it was awesome! I highly recommend doing the early shoots. Kymmy is also so quick on turn around time!! She is so sweet and very professional! She knows exactly what she’s doing, makes you feel comfortable, and is efficient!
TL;DR- y’all she’s AWESOME, book her for your engagement shoot and wedding!
Kymmy was amazing to work with and has phenomenal skills behind the camera. Our engagement pictures happened to fall on a day that it (unexpectedly) snowed, however, our pictures ...
turned out so well given the freezing cold snow.
She is QUICK with taking pictures, there is hardly any downtime, which I loved! And don't fret, if you don't know how to pose - she will help and talk you through it.
During the wedding, of course, more horrible weather...it rained. But, she was able to adapt to a change in ceremony location that day and still found picture locations to accommodate the rain.
She also takes bomb reception pictures, that are hilarious to look back at.
I would book her again in a heartbeat!
Me and my fiancé were so nervous for our engagement pictures because we haven’t ever had professional pictures taken. I was sure we would be so awkward but Kymberly made the sessio...
n SO FUN. It was sooo comfortable, we couldn’t believe how much we enjoyed it.
She is SPEEDY and we had a sneak peak the next morning and our entire gallery within a week. I am IN LOVE with these pictures. I feel like they perfectly capture our personalities and really feel like “us” which was the main thing I wanted. She captured the light beautifully and her editing is perfect (enhances but doesn’t completely change the color of the picture.)
I am so glad we went with Kymberly and I am so excited for her to shoot our wedding!
Right after I got engaged, I immediately started to search for a photographer. I came across Kymberly and her work. I loved the clean and beautiful edits and all the creative shots...
she had displayed on her website! She ended up being an incredible gal to work with. She communicated professionally, answered all of my questions, was comfortable to be around, and takes/edits incredible photos! So so thankful she was able to photograph our engagement photos and wedding!! Would 10/10 recommend working with her!!
I would give Kym 100 stars if it were possible.
She gave me and my husband beautiful engagement photos. She hiked out with us to a water front state park at dusk to capture our s...
tyle as a couple. The photos are fun, adventurous, and romantic. She helped get us comfortable in front of the camera and helped us pose to get the best look. Trust her- she's a former model turned photographer. She knows both sides of the lens. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!
Kymberly is the best for SO MANY REASONS. 1. She is the sweetest human ever and makes you feel so comfortable 2. She asks a lot of questions to really get to know your vision. She ...
absolutely nailed our engagement photos in August. Lots of tears were shed when viewing our gallery. 3. Sis is FAST!!!! She is quick and extremely efficient. Our first session with Kym was in 30 degree weather and a little under an hour. we had so many amazing pics to choose from and you would’ve never known it was freezing. 4. She helps you pose. She tells you if you need to relax your hand, move it, go in for a kiss, laugh, etc. 5. She makes taking photos FUN! My fiancé and I will forever cherish our almost 3 hour long engagement session. It is a special memory we will never forget.
Future brides, you will not regret choosing Kym to be a part of your special time.
Kym, words cant express how special you are to Anthony and I. We cannot wait for you to join us in Cabo for our big day. Thank you for helping us forever remember these special moments. We love you!!!!!
Kymberly has been my go to for all things professional photography for five years now! I would recommend her for any photography occasion, but I must admit the engagement shoot was...
by far my favorite one. She has such an eye and an ability to capture each personality and spirit in her work. Would highly recommend!
Kymberly did such an amazing job during our engagment session! She took us to so many locations during our time slot. We even went over our allotted time to fit in a final location...

Kymberly is amazing! Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. Originally, we contacted Kymmy about shooting a quick engagement session just for our Save...
the Dates. We instantly felt connected to her, and quickly booked her for our out-of-town wedding! Even without knowing the area, she was a pro and from the sneak peeks we've seen, did a wonderful job :) She's professional, prompt and overall a breath of fresh air to work with. Thank you so much, Kymmy!
Kymberly did our (surprise) engagement shoot, our wedding, and a little day after shoot in downtown Kansas City. She is AMAZING to work with and her pictures are equally as amazing...
. She is so knowledgeable about weddings and REALLY helped us stay on time and on track with all of our pictures. She's also super acknowledgeable about the city and all of the cute little hidden spots for pictures. We got her 10 hour package with an engagement shoot and it worked perfectly for us!
Kymberly is such a talented photographer and she travels!! I highly recommend her wedding package that includes an adventure photoshoot. Not only did she make me (a COVID bride) f...
