MY ARTISTIC APPROACH TO WEDDINGS
am I the one for you?
Editing Skin
I love to make skin look naturally smooth, glowing and bouncy. As a true-to-color editor, I also try to stick with your natural skin tones while alleviating any redness, uneven colors, and seamlessly blending your makeup into your face without completely wiping the makeup altogether!
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.
About The Photographer
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, and having so many weddings under my belt, I gladly share all of the ins and outs from a professional standpoint on how to best approach their wedding day to get the most stress-free results. If you cant tell, I am truly passionate about weddings, and producing amazing results has every bit to do with my intentionality.

Hanan + David
“Kim is absolutely amazing!!! She is one of the kindest and most supportive people I’ve ever met.”
She walked us through her whole set up and gave us a perfect timeline for how our day was going to go. She gave us advice not only on how to be comfortable in front of the camera but about Las Vegas and how to prevent disaster from striking. Her photos are incredible. She can make anyone look like a model. Can’t stop staring at my photos and I’ve only gotten sneak peaks so far! Can’t wait for the final gallery. If you want a perfect wedding photographer, trust me she’s your gal!

Locations must be in a non-populated area and a story board must be made and approved before accepting the client.

A gorgeous documentary-styled recap of your wedding day. This vogue-like reel will include the most important parts of your wedding as we become a fly on the wall and allow a different media format to be produced from your special day.
Requirements: We need 6 hours of your wedding day, beginning 2 hours before your ceremony and 3 hours after your ceremony into the dancing portion of your reception. Clients should also have a full itinerary of events happening during the coverage time.

A documentary style film with a deep and emotional storyline to drive the video to cinematic lengths. We begin with an upbeat and intriguing intro, move onto a slower and emotional meaty middle part, and end off on a high note!
We need 8-10 dedicated hours of your wedding day. Clients must understand that we need as much priority as the photographer as we will be conducting interviews, planning posed moving shots, and making clients perform certain poses. Clients should also understand that we need a full itinerary of activities and happenings for a full and rich film. We also require clients to have personal vows, but do not need to be read during ceremony, just at any point during the day.
