Kyra Jean Photo

to the usual stunning romance you expect. We didn't really question who we wanted to work with once we saw her portfolio, we just had our fingers crossed that she was available. Thinking back to when we first began communicating, my now-husband and I were nervous to be photographed. We don't love being the center of attention and didn't know what to expect. Right away, Kyra took such great care to get to know us, expressing lots of infectious enthusiasm, genuine kindness and support for our wedding planning. We instantly felt more at ease. Fast forward to the first time we met in person for an autumn engagement shoot beside a waterfall and we instantly knew we'd made the best decision. Kyra is personable, FUN, relatable and up to her ears in passion for what she does. She shares our affinity for nature and captures it so beautifully. We walked away from our first shoot feeling like we'd just had a romantic, fun adventure with a new friend. We laughed so much together. The end results were stunning! As the months passed approaching our wedding day, Kyra checked in now and then to remind us she was here to support us in any way. She's very experienced in all things wedding and shares her tips freely. She had the great suggestion to get must-have family shots before the ceremony at our first look to ensure extra time with guests at cocktail hour, which we are SO thankful we did. She also offered to review our timeline of events. We did not hire a wedding planner, but she was the next best thing. On our wedding day, she was the perfect blend of everything a couple hopes for from their photographer. She made everyone feel comfortable, advocated for us, kept things moving and was always two steps ahead. We often forgot we were being photographed. The number of candid shots we were stunned to see her capture (because we weren't aware she had been standing there) were jaw-dropping. Hugs & kisses with the most important people, fits of laughter, tears of joy. They were all there. Our outdoor wedding occurred on an unexpectedly chilly, windy and drizzly June day that surprised us with a full rainbow in the evening! Kyra can take any spontaneous event and work with it to get DREAMY shots. In review of our final gallery, we were flooded with emotion, goosebumps and pure bliss. We can't stop scrolling and didn't know such good photos of us and our community could exist! We are so grateful we chose to work with Kyra. If we can come up with any excuse to work with her again, we will. Highly, highly recommend her!

essionalism.

than we originally agreed because the light was so cool and she had an awesome idea for a unique picture. She was mindful of family dynamics (which is helpful at any wedding), she picked up on cues quickly, and she was responsive to our requests in the moment, even tho we of course had discussed a plan with her in advance. She also has such wonderful style. I love her vivid pictures. I am so happy with the pictures we ended up with. I would definitely work with Kyra again.

ass by corralling family members and helping calm nerves. Kyra is so genuine, down to earth and professional, and her laugh is infectious. She is definitely the person you want capturing your big day. I am not very comfortable in front of a camera. Hiring a photographer was a significant chunk of our budget and I was nervous that my awkward smile or pose would ruin the investment. Additionally, taking the family portraits before the ceremony was the single most stressful part of the day for me, so I was certain the stress would show in the photos. So with all of this being said, I cannot believe the gorgeous photos she was able to capture! Everyone looks so natural and comfortable. They are truly perfect and will be cherished for the rest of our lives. My one piece of advice (and maybe this is conventional wisdom), but I would recommend choosing the first look location or other photo spots to show your photographer. You will know the venue better than them. There was a lake and some nice foliage at our venue that would have been glorious backdrops for some pictures. But I blame us for not being more prepared in this sense. Kyra's gorgeous and natural photos speak for themselves, but take it from a very happy couple, that you will not be disappointed!

pecific memories of. I got a sneak peak of the photos just a week after the wedding, and they made sure to include pictures of my immediate family, and my Bridal party! I though that was so smart, because those are the first people to ask for pictures haha. The editing is superb, and the website they provided the pictures on have all sorts of purchasing features, which is so convenient. I can't thank Kyra enough, I feel as though we are practically family after all the work that they put in!

ts loved her attitude and were wow'd by her ability to seemingly be in 10 places at once grabbing photos of all the action! If you're looking for a photographer who really tries to click with her clients and have fun, she'll be a great fit for you.

EOUS. She was responsive to my insecurities and always looked for the best angles while gassing me up. Seriously she’s just the best person and I can’t recommend her enough.

pected. Would highly recommend Kyra's work for any photography occasion!

ease. I could not stop smiling and had such a joyful afternoon with Kyra. We got our sneak peek of photos last night and I couldn't even fall asleep because I just kept looking at them. Kyra is wonderful and I can't wait to see the rest of our engagement photos and what kind of magic she'll work for us on our wedding day in 2020!
