Christian Vegas-Based Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Photos By SOTE, standing for Salt of the Earth, is a Christian Photography company proudly glorifying Christ in everything that we do. From its inception, we have never been afraid or ashamed of of our faith, and it is through Him that we have been blessed to flourish & strive as one of the go-to Christian wedding photographers in Las Vegas.
A photographer that brings to life both the emotions & glamour of weddings
As a seasoned photographer, I’ve had the privilege of documenting many beautiful weddings, and I pride myself on delivering not just stunning photographs but an exceptional experience for every couple I serve. The cornerstone of my approach lies in two key principles: transparency and proactive involvement. From the very start of your day, I’ll guide you through each step, openly communicating what I need and providing clarity if adjustments arise due to unforeseen circumstances.
MY ARTISTIC APPROACH TO WEDDINGS
am I the one for you?
Editing & Skin
Editing is my greatest asset. Not only do I take my time in positioning and posing my couples perfectly in-camera, but I take the photo to the next level in my editing cave. I would describe my style as true-to-color editing, with a subtle glow and soft skin tones. Combined with an editorial approach to posing, the final result is beautifully timeless.
Professional Photoshop
I do not alter bodies or faces in any shape or form but am very conscious to blemishes, people in the background, stray hairs, and unwanted devices that may have made their way into the photo. I am skilled in Generative AI tools and photoshop that has come in handy for adjusting little things that make a perfect overall image.
Documentary Style
Understanding that your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, I am there to capture it all. Averaging about 75 photos delivered per hour, I will float around the area to meticulously compose my images around those stolen kisses, tear jerking speeches, breathtaking decor, and jaw dropping reactions that happen on your wedding day. I am there for it all, focusing on a more natural type of posing instead of the super posey unnatural smile at the camera type photos.
Editorial Notes
Using 7+ years of modeling and photographic experience, you’ll also be gently posed to create gorgeous lines, instagram worthy posts, and give emphasis to the fashion and glam that takes place during your wedding.
Celebrity Treatment
I often find myself being the loudest in the room but thats okay, because the louder I am, the more comfortable you feel. My super cool on camera flash will help you feel like a celebrity as well as my constant pampering and photo taking will leave you looking back on your day with a big smile on your face.
Seriously Timeless & Unapologetically Moody.
Not Just Beauty. Photos You Can Feel
Hi, I’m Kim Willoughby!
I consider myself a relationship based photographer as I heavily lean into being a support system for each and every one of my brides/clients, answering all of their questions and being a shoulder to cry on. I don’t believe in “working within my pay grade” since every single person is so important to me. I really pride myself in being the calm in the storm. If you cant tell, I am truly passionate about weddings, and producing amazing results has every bit to do with my intentionality.

CLIENT LOVE NOTES
“Finding a photographer for our Vegas Wedding was the most difficult part, but it was so worth it when we found Kim!”
One of the standout moments of working with Kim was the detailed questionnaire we received ahead of time. It asked about our preferences and ideas and included thoughtful questions about us as a couple—such an impressive and personal touch!
When the day finally arrived, Kim made us feel completely at ease. She kept us relaxed, provided continuous tips, and had creative ideas that resulted in stunning photos. Her editing style is beautiful, and each photo felt personal and unique. Despite the many clients and similar themes (and there’s only so many photo spots in Vegas), Kim ensures that each couple’s photos stand out and don’t feel generic. It was totally tailored to us and special!
For all potential future international clients: The Zoom calls, emails for planning, and the detailed questionnaire were especially helpful for us, as we obviously couldn’t meet in person beforehand with us not living in the US hahaha. Booking Photos by SOTE is a fantastic choice for international clients as well!

Absolutely! Since every couple is different, I am happy to create a package that fits your photography checklist + budget for your big day.

Ethereal & Editorial. Think: a scene shot straight out of a movie & the sun is at the perfect spot + you’re glowing like an angel… that’s so me. And also so many die-hard laughing shots. True-to-color skin tones with a smooth yet textured finish.
-
I deliver all my photos through an online gallery. You can share these galleries with family + friends, and all photos can be downloaded directly from the gallery. You are given shared release rights meaning THEY’RE YOURS! But if you decide to use it for any advertising, you have to get permission first.
-
I will deliver photos as soon as I can! On average, my delivery lands at 4-8 weeks for weddings and 2-3 weeks for portrait sessions. Depending on my schedule, I can deliver photos even sooner, so keep an eye on your email! I know waiting for your photos can be the worst, but trust me … I’m making sure your photos get delivered in the best possible quality.
