WHAT MAKES KAYLA DIFFERENT
While it may sound cliche, I legit am trained to tell stories. With an undergraduate degrees in English and History as well as a Masters of Arts in Communications, storytelling is pretty much all I know (that and 1980s movie quotes and Beatles + American rock/punk lyrics).
Next
I see the light
(thanks to hybrid coverage)
WHAT MAKES KAYLA DIFFERENT
Being that I use both digital and film cameras, I can be ultra flexible with locations as we can make most any spot work with one camera or the other (your gallery will love that for you).

(one way ticket, yeah)
WHAT MAKES KAYLA DIFFERENT
Within the state of Minnesota, I do not charge one red cent for travel. I am always more than happy to meet you in the middle of your story, so I will gladly head wherever you would like.
Next
"No thanks" to meaningless small talk. We're friends now.
WHAT MAKES KAYLA DIFFERENT
I am a talker, but it is never, ever minimal small talk. Our time together will be just like if you were with a friend, and we talk about all the things: Jobs, family, your Chipotle order, and the pets (the most important, of course).
Next
I am awkward, so I know how to make sure you aren't.
WHAT MAKES KAYLA DIFFERENT
I am just as afraid of being in front of the camera as anyone else. Because of this, I come with experience and training to know how to prompt you effortless, flawlessly, and so you forget I am even there.
After a decade in the wedding industry, have seen from multiple angles what goes into planning an event, and I have condensed it for KLP Couples. This includes a copy of 100-page KLP Wedding Experience Guide (included in every welcome gift), strategy and consultation calls to work though wherever you may be stuck at your planning, emails with tips and hacks, and timeline development to be sure everything appears just as you envisioned it. You will also have access to my ever-growing list of sought after vendors to help you build a wedding day dream team.
I stand by my statement that this is your story, and it should be told in your words, not mine. For this reason, I give you a choice when it comes to you booking gift for packages 8 hours in length or longer: A one-hour engagement session or print/album credit. It your wedding, your life, your legacy, so you deserve to choose your own adventure.

Each KLP Wedding + Elopement Experience comes with complete print release for your convenience. You are always invited to order prints online through your Cloudspot gallery, or you may take them to the print shop of your choice (that way when you get your brilliant idea at 11 pm to redo your photo wall, you don't need to wait for me...although I would probably still be up, too).

LET'S BREAK it DOWN
There should be nothing cookie cutter about your wedding. I believe that if you are here, reading these words, you are seeking an photography experience that reflects the classic and iconic love story you live that provides soft, romantic, and real images that will be a part of your legacy. Once we are we are on the same page and are equally excited to work with one another, we can move right onto the next step...
Let's become fast friends!

THE KLP PROCESS
At this point, we're practically BFFs, so the nest step is to do the damn thing. It is at this point where I will send along a proposal (which will contain all the details concerning the custom package we've created, the contract, and invoice for retainer and remaining balance OR the payment plan we've drafted). It will all be contained in your own handy dandy client portal, which will allow to check any part at any time.
Once signed and paid, that's when the real fun begins...

Even though I will be in touch frequently between booking and your day, it is about eight weeks out where things start to really heat up. You will receive a client questionnaire at this time; the info collected there will help me be able to serve you the way you deserve. It stresses the who, what, where, whens of your day...allowing me to fully capture your why while you enjoy every single thing about your day.
Even though this is the high point of planning and a sign that the good times will soon roll, it is far from over...

After the vows are exchanged, the cake (and rug) has been cut, and the night fades into forever, that's when my real fun begins. By the next day you will have seen over a dozen sneak peeks via social media (with dozens more by the week's end when your wedding is featured on the KLP Blog). Within in four to six weeks, you will receive your full gallery--edited, processed, and ready for print (through me or the print shop of your choice)--and you can relive your magical, amazing day as many times as you want.

ARE YOU READY?
“This is your day. This is the time to go after it all.”
— Me, Yesterday
What equipment do you use to photography events?
My main camera body is a Nikon D5. My lens arsenal includes a 35mm, 50mm, 85mm portrait, 105mm macro, 135mm, and a 70-200mm zoom. My film camera is a Pentax 645n, with either a 75mm or 150mm lens with it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you know how to photography anything besides natural light?
Yes! I will always try to harness and use natural light, but I can use flash if need be. I come to every event with three Nikon flashes and the ability to light up your world (or at least your reception).
How would you describe your photography style?
I am primarily a digital photographer, but shoot film as well. I believe both mediums serve their purpose, incorporate both when appropriate for your love story. I edit for light, airy images that are as authentic as they are romantic.
How long does it take before we see any of our images?
After your wedding, expect to see images on social media within 48 hours, a blog by the end of the week. Your gallery will be delivered within four to six weeks.
How do you address and handle posing your couples?
I use gentle gesturing to "pose" you, which creates opportunities for your natural movements and interactions to be front and center, so only the authentic you shines through! A little candid, a little posed, and all you in your gallery!
We love it all and we are ready to book! What do we do next?
This makes my day! The first step to is to inquire and receive the Kayla Lee Photography Wedding Experience Guide, which will explain the package options as well as the a la carte items (and the little goodies available, just for you)!
What's your for paying the retainer to save our date?
The retainer is 33% of total package for weddings and elopements; remaining balances are due one month before your event. The invoice will be accessible through HoneyBook (it's like PayPal for creatives). Payment plans available!
What is the best way for me to get in touch with you?
The best way to reach me is always through email at hello@kaylalee.com. I generally respond to all emails within 24 hours.
. All of your photographs are astounding and I couldn’t be more pleased or happier. Thank you for capturing our love and friendship, and thank you for being you with your own authentic photography style. We appreciate you and commend you more than you can imagine!

HISTORY BUFF, WRITER, CREATIVE, FONT FANATIC, INFJ & A BIT OF A TROUBLEMAKER (NEVER BEEN A FAKER, DOING THINGS MY OWN WAY AND NEVER GIVING UP)
Hey there!
My Why
All I ever wanted to do with my life is tell stories. That was the plan ever since I was in eighth grade. This was also the time I fell in love with brides and grooms. In my book bag, next to my school supplies, there was always a journal for scribbling and writing as well as a copy of Martha Stewart Weddings.
As I grew up, I never lost those loves. I ultimately studied History, English, and Communications, so I know first hand the power of a great story as well as how to record and retell it for the ages.
Your story can be a light in our world;
I am here to help you shine!
in your own words.
In a way, everything led me to be here,
for you.
