About this vendor
I am here to make sure that when you look back at your wedding photos in 35 years, you remember all the love that surrounded you! It is my photojournalist approach that guides my work. I aim to deliver timeless imagery of spontaneous and candid moments as they unfold. I float with ease from behind the scenes to orchestrating large group photos. I look forward to learning how you envision celebrating your union and sharing how I can bring that vision to life.
Just for fun! Maybe not necessary anecdotes about your wedding photographer:
* I will always tell you if you have something in your teeth - because that's what real friends are for!
* Grandmothers tend to love me. Even the Grandmas who don't like anyone, we hit it off.
* This photo service comes fully equipped with a lint roller... just in case.
* I think that drinking water is the best and I encourage everyone I care about to stay adequately hydrated.

Kyra was our engagement and wedding photographer. She has an amazing talent for capturing details that will help us to remember our wedding, and feel present in the moments we missed. My husband is white and I am dark-skinned, so it was incredibly important for us to find a photographer who could photograph an interracial couple - not an easy task! But, Kyra perfectly captured both of us without either of us looking washed-out. In our wedding plan that Kyra helped us to put together, we had “getting ready” photos, first looks, and reception photos that represented all the memories we can relive and share. Kyra had an enthusiasm and determination for the job that was very appreciated in moments when our attention was anywhere but on making photographic memories - she made that effort so that we didn’t have to, and could focus our thoughts on each other and our guests. Everyone we have shared the photos with has complimented her work. She loves her craft and it shows.
My wife and I stumbled upon Kyra’s business while looking for a wedding photographer that could produce images that felt organic, playful, and unique to the folks being photographed. Kyra, and her wonderful second shooter, Sage, more than delivered in that regard. These two are artists, full stop. Not only are we over the moon about the actual images that Kyra and Sage captured of our wedding, we are super pleased with the experience of working with them. As a same-sex couple, working with LGBTQ+ friendly vendors was very important to us, and Kyra was absolutely phenomenal on all accounts— we never felt like we needed to explain or justify our non-traditional wedding party, preferred terminology, or aspects of chosen family during the wedding. She and Sage were both so friendly and personable while helping us find poses where we looked good and felt comfortable, while also capturing little moments and small details throughout the day. We would absolutely recommend Kyra to any couple looking for a photographer in Western Massachusetts.
We LOVED Kyra, her work, and her energy! You can see the joy in all her photographs, and we were drawn to her candid work. It’s incredible!
Kyra was responsive and professional, and super on top of her planning game. Most of all, she was so kind, thoughtful, and invested in our story. Our engagement photos were stunning and I can’t wait to see the wedding photos! They’re full of color and light and love. My mom loved Kyra’s energy during the wedding: “Zoom! She was over there and then Zoom! She was on the other side of the room!” Kyra was the perfect photographer to work with on our perfect day.
I don’t know if we can fully express how amazing Kyra was. Every detail was perfect. From planning to execution it was beyond what we could have ever imagined. Kyra was not only an incredible photographer, but just a cool, super fun person to be around. Thanks again for making our special day extra special. -

Kyra was a delight to work with! She was so personable and professional, not to mention a brilliant photographer. We opted to have our engagement pictures done with her as well, she allowed us to choose two locations and worked with all our ideas seamlessly while helping us feel comfortable and able to be ourselves. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, coming early last minute due to inclement weather changing our timeline, and helped advocate for us with our venue. We cannot recommend her more!
Oh how we love Kyra! This wonderful human has an ability to make you feel so comfortable that you almost don't even notice she's there. Yet she's running around getting the most beautiful shots you could ever imagine. My favorite part of the wedding night was doing a private shoot with my wife and Kyra and having that private moment with somebody so friendly, genuine, and loving. Kyra gets so excited about so many things and clearly has a love for life. These translate into the photos she creates for you. The sneak peek she gave us have blown our minds and are beyond our wildest dreams. I highly recommend Kyra for any of your photo needs, but especially your wedding! She's professional, collaborative, and an absolute joy to work with. You will not be disappointed with you're experience with Kyra.
Kyra was so amazing. As a planner, I love when the photo team can be a fly on the wall and just capture the mood and vibe of the wedding. She photographed the couple so flawlessly and captured their essence with style, grace and the utmost professionalism.
Working with Kyra for our wedding was amazing. She was professional, well organized, had great tech systems, and all that really good necessary stuff. But she also had a warmth, joy and investment that made us feel so special. She stayed longer 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.
KYRA IS THE BEST!!!! Her style and bio caught our eye, but after our initial zoom meeting, we knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our wedding. She was communicative and helpful throughout the planning process. Day-of she kicked total 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!
Kyra was so wonderful and easy to work with! I knew when I got married that the photography had to be a priority. Kyra was genuinely attentive to the shots I requested! Kyra also made sure that they knew details and important moments I wanted specific 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!
Working with Kyra was so meaningful, memorable, easy and joyful. Her work drew us in so completely -- her style stood out from usual wedding photos. We saw lots of nature, rich color, and fun/outlandish personality from her subjects in addition 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!
Kyra is awesome! We hired her as our wedding photographer, and also did a post-wedding adventure shoot (instead of an engagement shoot). She's a very upbeat and genuine person, and flexible and creative with her shoots. At our wedding, our guests 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.
There’s a million wonderful things to say about Kyra - she is the perfect wedding photographer! She is kind, creative, professional, compassionate and fun to name a few, she did the best job commanding our unruly crowd and the pictures are GORGEOUS. 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.
Kyra was wonderful to work with right from the start. She was highly responsive, professional and accommodating throughout our entire experience. We reached out to her to capture our would've been wedding day and it was way more than we ever expected. Would highly recommend Kyra's work for any photography occasion!
We just had Kyra do an engagement shoot for us and I could not be happier with our decision to hire her for this session and our wedding. I had never had professional photos done before, and neither had my fiance, but Kyra immediately put us at 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!
