Honestly and joyfully documented on digital and film for the couples and families who value creativity, presence, connection, and having a damn good time.
Based in Orlando, and will happily travel to your destination.
I have a deep love for love. For connection, for music, for the outdoors, for novelty, for anything that gives you that feeling in your chest like something really matters. That's what drew me to wedding photography, and it's what keeps me coming back.
I work in a documentary style, which really just means I'd rather watch your day unfold than direct it. I photograph every wedding and session using both film and digital cameras. Digital helps me capture the chaos and fast-paced moments of the day, and film reminds me to actually slow down and play a little. I am so honored to share photographs that feel honest and real and beautiful all at once — so that 10, 20, 50 years from now you can look back at a life well-lived.
I.
Working with me isn't very formal. Before we ever pick up a camera, we talk — about you, about what you're hoping to feel, about what matters most. I want to know you before I photograph you.
II.
On the day, I show up calm, present, and ready for whatever the day brings. Sometimes I’ll guide ya into the good light, but most of the time I’m just paying attention.
III.
And then your gallery arrives — and that's when it all comes together. The moments you were too busy living to notice. The ones you didn't know anyone caught. The ones that make you tear up a little, because they look exactly how it felt.
“Where to even begin?! We have been working with Kayla for every milestone, from our first year dating to our wedding and beyond, for the better part of the last 9 years.
Kayla is one of the most earnest, whole-hearted photographers I’ve ever encountered. As a photographer myself, I always wondered who I would entrust my own most sacred memories with when the big life moments came: graduating, falling in love, getting married, and all the little moments in between.
Kayla has so seamlessly stepped into that role, building our trust, showcasing our most closely held beloved moments. When our wedding season rolled around, I not only had zero question on who to bring on as our photographer, I had the pleasure of wholly trusting Kayla’s eye and dancing the night away with someone who believed in our story and has become a dear friend.
Kayla is more than a photographer, she is a narrator in our tale. If you want your photos to build the legacy you share for years to come, you want Kayla.”
