Weddings aren’t about photos; they’re about the most important connections in our lives. They’re about the moments you can’t plan but always want to remember. I’m talking about the awkward-but-cute handshakes and hugs when your fiance’s family meets yours or the jaw drop when you see your partner at your first look. And who told your sister she’s allowed to make you laugh-cry with such a thoughtful toast? Those full-heart moments stick with you the most. And you can trust they make the best photos.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding gallery that feels like you — not staged, not posed, just joy preserved in the Bend mountain air — I’d love to document it. My calm, documentary approach makes space for you to stay present, while I capture the story as it unfolds.

Love doesn’t look like a Pinterest board — it looks like lipstick stains on champagne coupes, laugh-crying through your vows, and that one uncle (Dave) who refuses to surrender the dance floor. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, it’s people shouting over the music and hugging too tight. Perfectly yours, gloriously unposed, and absolutely worth remembering exactly as it was. Don’t let it be anything else.

Just True.

Not Perfect.

Hi there, I'm Kayla

bend, oregon

PHOTOGRAPHER

I want to see your whole village alongside you. My goal is to create heartfelt photos that show the love and joy at the foundation of your life. Yes, joy! Because photos should be fun, sheesh! 

IMHO, weddings aren’t just about the couple. They’re about a whole web of relationships that make us who we are. Your photos should reflect that. I prioritize documentary-style photos of you in your element. Who knows? In all the laughter and happy tears, you may even forget I’m there.

Life’s milestones are made up of a million little moments – glances, smiles, touches – that are just as important in your story as the moment you say “I do.” I'm greedy. I want all of it on film.

COME GET TO KNOW ME

"She Made Us Forget We Were Even Being Photographed"

“From our very first conversation, I knew Kayla was the right person to shoot our wedding, and she proved it a hundred times over. She’s not just incredibly talented, she’s the kind of person who makes everyone feel like a friend. Our day was more fun, more relaxed, and at times we honestly forgot we were even being photographed — that’s how comfortable she made us feel.”

Jenni and Jake, Holiday Farm Resort


“What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart* that one can see rightly.”

- antoine de saint-exupéry IN THE LITTLE PRINCE -

*Yep, I shoot with the heart. That's how I get the good stuff.
