One of the best.
In a place like Vegas that is saturated with amazing photographers, videographers, and film makers- Kim is honestly a breath of fresh air! She runs her business from a place of love and humility which is so rare in today’s world. Not only is she an amazing person and business owner, she is talented and goes above and beyond for her clients which I have seen time and time again! I had branding photos done by her and they are the most flattering photos I have ever had done! Kim is a blessing, and I hope whoever reads this may get the chance to know her and use her talents!

BEST DUO EVER!
SOTE photography and videography exceeded all of our expectations. The entire day may not have gone according to plan, but we rolled with the punches and everything came out beautifully. Not only was SOTE kind, loving, and genuine - but truly a blessing in disguise. The dedication to their art really shows in the final product. I can 1000% assure SOTE is what everyone needs for their wedding day!

I absolutely loved my wedding photos! 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.

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. 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!! -
★★★★★ - Heart & Soul Gatherings VENDOR REVIEW (Google Reviews)
Kim is truly a sweetheart! Working with her is an experience everyone should have at least once! She has THE eye and the talent for costuming the best shots of the best moments of your life! She has such a gorgeous style when it comes to editing! But my favorite part is when you hire her… you get to have her by your side for the whole day which is such a blessing because she is so helpful and fun to be around!!!! Definitely the perfect wedding side kick for any brides looking for their go to person for the day… SOTE IS IT!! Thanks for being so awesome girlie! Your shots of me in action doing what I love are by far my favorite!!!! Can’t wait to work together again soon!
As a vendors perspective.. Kim was so kind and good at thinking outside the box. Even when expecting a little one soon she offered to lend me a hand with anything I may have needed when I was in a pinch. That was huge and so rare to find in a vendor! Forever my friend this one!!! Hope to get bookings together again soon!!!! Take care and BEST wishes in your business journey!!

Nearly a year on and we still love our photos just as much as we did when we first saw them🥹
Kim was an actual dream, she was so friendly and made us feel so comfortable. For someone who isn’t photogenic in the slightest she made me feel like a complete natural. We eloped from the UK however the communication on the lead up to us traveling out to Vegas was amazing, any questions I had were answered instantly. Cannot recommend Kim enough📸✨ -
★★★★★ - Hannah Blackmun (Google Reviews)
Stop right here!! You NEED Kim as your photographer! Kim did our elopement and we couldn’t have imagined it any other way! She went above and beyond and captured our day better than anticipated! Ever since she has sent the sneak peeks I cannot stop looking at them. Kim made the whole process so seamless. Her turnaround time is chefs kiss. I’d give her more stars if I could, but it maxed out at 5.

We had an incredible experience with Photos by SOTE! Kim was incredibly responsive when I had some questions about our session. We have all adults in our family and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to plan Christmas photos for us all, but Kim was very energetic and great at direction. We booked her full session and received so many photos within the week. The editing was stunning and we loved her studio space as well. We look forward to more family Christmas photos with Photos by SOTE! Thank you, Kim!

Finding the perfect photographer for our Vegas Wedding was one of the most challenging parts of our wedding planning, especially since we’re not from the US (we’re from Germany). But it was so worth the effort when we found the amazing Kim Willoughby (@photosbysote).
After our elopement, we booked a 3.5-hour photoshoot around various iconic spots in Las Vegas with Kim. Not only does she have an incredible and unique style, but she also goes above and beyond for her clients. Kim provided invaluable advice on the best times of day for lighting, which even influenced when we scheduled our ceremony. She complemented our location ideas with her own fantastic suggestions, all of which we incorporated. Leading up to our big day, we had two Zoom calls to go over the planning and final details, which really helped us feel confident and relaxed. We knew Kim had a clear vision and that all our wishes would be taken into account.
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!
We had an incredible time, felt comfortable throughout the session, and are absolutely thrilled with the results. Choosing Kim for our elopement photoshoot was one of the best decisions we made, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional photography!
PS 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! -

We recently had a photoshoot with Kim, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we met, Kim was so sweet and fun! As two people who are usually awkward in front of the camera, we were truly impressed by how comfortable she made us feel!
I've never had this much fun during a photoshoot before! Kim made it easy for our true selves to shine through in the photos. I can't wait to come back to Vegas and book another session with her. Highly recommend! -
★★★★★ - Callum Roughneen (Google Reviews)
Where do we begin with rating Kim, she is not only a great photographer but also the nicest, most organised person you will meet, I wouldn't of trusted anyone else with my wedding day photographer other than Kim there wasn't a single worry in the world working with her she provides an streamlined timeline to make your day run effortlessly.
We are not one for photo sessions and thought we would be so awkward but we instantly felt at ease with Kim and forgot that she even had a camera on us for our whole session she makes you feel so comfortable and an absolute star for your entire session.
If you need a photographer in Las Vegas do not hesitate to try and secure Kim you will not be disappointed ♥️💥 -

Working with Kim was a dream for our daughters “1year” photos as a family. Kim made it not only supper comfortable, but she was a natural at just making the environment fun to be in especially with a moody , teething 11m old lol . We did the family portrait and all the photos came out beyond our expectations. We will absolutely love to work with her again and again as time permits!

We got married in Las Vegas last Saturday and we’re fascinated with the photos!
Kim really did a spectacular work and thanks to her we have beautiful memories for the whole life of our wedding.
I loved having her with us, her energy is awesome and she is a beautiful human being, kind and very professional. I definitely recommend Sote 100% !! -
★★★★★ - Aria Gaston (Google Reviews)
When I say that this was THEE best photo shoot I have had for so many reasons. Her direction was amazing! Normally out of 100 photos, I end up only liking about 10. It was so hard to choose photos for my business because almost every shot was good. That is unheard of.
. I am so grateful for Kims work and she was so encouraging throughout the shoot. She is definitely an expert in this and im not just saying that. Thank you Kim for my birthday shoot. -

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!
