Can I just start out by stating that Kimberly ROCKED! Honestly, our wedding day would not have been as perfect and flowed so well without her even though we got married during the pandemic.
The moment I contacted her in 2018 to our engagement ...shoot, she has made me feel so comfortable. I can be a bit anxious and shy, and of course, as a bride that can increase. Looking at her work on Instagram, you can immediately tell that she is an amazing photographer. All of the photos are so natural, traditional, and capture what a bride dreams of. That's what first led me to Kimberly and my husband and I know couples who had Kimberly and they loved her as well.
During our engagement shoot, I felt a bit nervous before. We met her and wow! I felt so comfortable! The pictures were perfect. She is so funny and had us laughing! Honestly felt like we had been friends forever:)
A year later, when the wedding approached, COVID hit. Kimberly has been AMAZING and so understanding through this pandemic. She has shown us such kindness, which I know as a vendor during these times it can be hard. Pretty much every day or every week plans had to be changed and a lot kept flip-flopping, but she helped me stay positive and calm through it all.
She took so much time on our phone call the week before our wedding. Even though our plans were different than what we originally planned and I think even changed two days before the wedding, she just supported us through it all.
Our wedding was unique. We were the winners of the Miller High Life Wedding Contest and she did a phenomenal job! She met us at the church early for our short ceremony, took pictures. She did everything I wanted and more-- lovely! She captured from the balcony and everywhere, it felt like she could read my heart and knew that photos of our family and the church are so important to us.
She had us so relaxed. I have three young nieces that were our flower-girls, and they can be pretty fidgety but Kimberly is a saint. She had them smiling and posing for pictures and even used my sister's baby rattle. We are eternally grateful. She is great with all ages and sure knows her stuff, she snapped photos of the girls before the wedding because she understands how kids can be unpredictable after a ceremony.
We only had about 16 people present due to COVID, and she felt like family there. Our families and priests loved talking with her!
Next, we went to Miller and she set up the Zoom link for our guests flawlessly. We really went to Miller Valley without knowing what was going to happen. She thought on her feet and made everything perfect, even brought a table for her laptop for the Zoom and Miller High Life beer for us- literally thought of everything- such a relief. It was very sunny and yet she was able to make the pictures look idyllic. Words cannot express how awesome she was for this unpredictable part of our day.
We then went to Lake Park to take pictures, just her and my husband. It was very fun and she really had us so comfortable. We really loved talking with her and she helped us look natural in our pictures. We can't wait to frame these. During this time of taking pictures, there were protests going on and she helped us stay relaxed despite the unknown if we would be able to get out of the park soon- lol!
I wrote so much but I hope this review conveys how amazingly talented she is! It was so nice to know she had everything so under control, I never had anything to worry about:)
