Wedding Photography for people who value connection + intention.

I’m Kaylee, a PNW wedding + elopement photographer who values connection, providing a safe and affirming space and a judgement free experience, and delivering photos that feel emotional, artful, and cool as hell. I genuinely love to travel, and am available wherever a plane can take me!

My approach is rooted in intention. I want to capture real connection, not some Pinterest version of you. You deserve a gallery full of images that take you back into each moment – as if you’re there again. But don’t get it twisted, I love a cool editorial moment with fun flash + colors, so we make room for those images, too. Art isn’t meant to be put in a box, & neither are you.

If I had to describe my art in a few words: candid, storytelling, & a little bit weird

How do you balance your creative vision with the couple’s wishes?

I work with them to bring it all to life together! This is a collaborative effort, and I love hearing my client’s ideas. So, we set a meeting to talk through it all, go through inspo photos, and set realistic expectations.

Do you have a hobby that surprises people?

I play D&D + am a huge fan of Critical Role!

What’s your go-to gear or tool at a wedding?

Lately, it’s been an off camera flash!
