Finding a photographer was so hard, 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!

"I absolutely loved my wedding photos! They were magical and she made the day super easy. "
They were magical and she made the day super easy. We pulled this wedding together in 2 weeks and I was so thankful for her expertise and guidance on making the day significantly easier. She managed to create such a mix of styles and vibes throughout our three hour package! I could not recommend her enough.

Her kind soul and passion for what she does shone through and really helped us relax.
We chose Kim to photograph our elopement and she did not disappoint!! From the start her communication was brilliant with anything, from relating to what she offers to my silly nervous questions a week before our big day! Her kind soul and passion for what she does shone through and really helped us relax. For a couple who don’t particularly feel comfortable with a camera pointed at us, she really managed to photograph some amazing moments. Kim sent us sneak peeks immediately so we could send them back to our friends and family in the UK who also loved the photos!
Thank you so much Kim for the amazing photos and memories of our wedding day, we will cherish them forever!!!

Kim is hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with.
Kim is hands down the best photographer I've ever worked with. She showed up early to both of our sessions, got us our photos in an unbelievably quick amount of time, and was a ray of sunshine through the entire experience.
We came from out of town and Kim was so responsive, as well as giving us a massive list of recommendations for every single type of service you could possibly need. We adore you!!

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.

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.
