WHAT TO CONSIDER ABOUT CANDID WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

“Candid wedding photography” and “documentary style wedding photographer” are two searches appearing in my Google Ads account over and over again as of late.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT KAYLA

At home on the road. Forever-focused on authenticity and the thrilling art of creation; always found in the moments that leave me breathless and in awe. 

After fourteen years as a high school educator, I stepped back through a door I thought was closed. Journalism came back into my life. Armed with a Masters of Arts in Communication, I was again challenged and prepared to tell the stories that would become history, but with a twist: It is now your legacy of love that I document.
