Capturing all the emotion with a candid & Authentic touch
I believe that the real and beautiful moments are the ones that happen naturally, without any forced posing or awkward direction. I want you to be able to relive your entire wedding day through your gallery and film, including all the hilarious and spontaneous memories that make your love story truly unique. From the moment we meet, my biggest intention is simply to create a friendship with you both. When we build a friendship it allows you to fully open up in front of the camera.
Your Love Story is spontaneous, messy, adventurous, emotional + Worthy of being told in the most Beautiful & Authentic way.
Your love story is unique, and your wedding experience should be too....
When it feels good, it looks good.
The wedding industry makes it so easy to get caught in those Instagram moments of “how it will look..?” When you should be focused on the feelings of your day and your love.
You deserve more than someone showing up on your wedding day to take photos or wanting you to change your day for me. Because of that, I am here to encourage and help you through the process of creating a wedding day that is true to you!
We're here to help you create an experience.
The truth is you are going to spend so much time with your wedding photographer on your day and it’s important to have someone there you are comfortable with and trust. Your wedding day is your love story and you should have someone who supports that fully.
I am intentionally hands on within the process of planning so that when your wedding day comes, I can take a more hands off approach and document how it plays out. This means I can capture real moments and let you celebrate with your family and loved ones!
When we build a relationship and I can come into your day feeling connected to both of you, and that enables me to blend in with your guests celebrate your love!
I always start your wedding day off by walking around the venue to take in all the details you have put so much time into. This also includes finding the perfect spots for all of your photos. I am here to support you both so that you can just have fun and enjoy the day you have dreamed of.
On your wedding day <3
My Values
Each session and client means the world to me. I am obsessed with the love I get to witness between two people. During your session planning, I am here for you every step of the way. With weddings or elopements this is helping with anything planning-related or doing those last minute coffee runs the morning of. With sessions, this is sending over location guides, outfit guides, or inspiration! My goal is to give you photos you absolutely love and also create a memory to look back on. As your photographer, I am not just with you for the day but the experience of your session. From the moment we meet, my biggest goal is simply to create a friendship that allows you to open up in front of the camera. I love goofy prompts, poses, and questions during your photo sessions.
Why do you get to know couples?
I believe the best photos are created within your story! I take the time to understand who you and your partner are and your journey towards falling in love so that we can make images that represent YOU! Your good sides, the way you laugh when you see each other, and all the ways that make you perfect for one another.
How would you describe your images?
Candid, playful and emotional. The editing? True-to-color, warm and timeless.
Do you offer Payment plans?
Yes! Other than the retainer due at signing and the remainder due a week/ month before, we can set up a payment plan however you would like!
How long until I get my Photos?
I will deliver photos as soon as I can! I give myself 6-12 weeks for weddings and 3-4 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.
How Much Do you charge for travel?
My travel expenses are dependent on how far away we are from each other. Typically, I charge per mile when it comes to driving distance. If you’re within a flight’s distance, I just charge you for the flight. Feel free to fill out my contact form for a more accurate travel expense quote.
Why do you do wedding Photography?
I am absolutely in love with the LOVE I get to witness between two people.
The thing I love most about wedding photography is that it takes you to places you would never normally see and I get to celebrate your love story with you . I get to witness the nerves, the tears, the love, the laughter, the happiness and pure joy of marrying your best friend.
- Jessica & Micah
She did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and highlight video, and they all turned out amazing.
I was pretty nervous to do the engagement session, as I’m not accustomed to getting my photo taken, but Kiarha made it so easy and comfortable. Not only did the photos turn out great, but we had the best time taking them. She delivered all of the photos so quickly too!
At the wedding, Kiarha and her assistant went above and beyond providing help and encouragement throughout the whole day. I felt like I had a friend and ally throughout the entire process. They pinned dresses, brought water, impressively directed a huge group of family members into, oh and also captured each special moment on camera. The photos and video she delivered were natural and beautiful, and delivered right on time. A number of family and friends commented afterwards just how easy they were to work with. I would highly recommend Kiarha to capture your special day.
I cannot recommend Kiarha highly enough.
- Emily & Matthew
We got a wedding package with engagement photos. During our engagement session, she was so energetic and fun, it made me confident that she would absolutely rock our wedding. What I wasn’t prepared for, is that she had even more tricks up her sleeve to make the wedding day experience the best, EVER! She was professional, directed everyone beautifully and made it fun and easy. She has an eye for amazing shots and was so supportive and overall just amazing. Now for the IMAGES, holy cow they were absolutely stunning! Our video made my husband and I both cry happy tears. She absolutely exceeded our expectations and created beautiful images that we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend her enough. She is simply 5 stars in every department!
"KIARHA WAS AM ABSOLUTE JOY TO WORK WITH.."
- Tristin
Not only was she just phenomenal and so attentive during our wedding, but we had SO many friends and family come and tell us how much they liked her. Her energy radiates, and I honestly couldn’t be happier (and we haven’t even seen our video yet! LOL. Which no doubt will be just as amazing as she is!). I really cannot recommend her enough! Finding her by chance was absolutely the best. Don’t hesitate, book her now, you won’t regret it. <3
The luck we felt in finding Kiarha, I can’t even describe it
- Alya & Eric
I first met her through a Boudoir session, which was absolutely phenomenal! She made me feel safe, comfortable and beautiful! The photos turned out better than I could have imagined, she knows how to pose you in the most flattering ways for your body, she also had a wardrobe of things to help make the shoot how I envisioned. Second interaction with her was my engagement photos. We are outdoor people and she accommodated that completely, she is just adventurous as us, wading through the water to get the perfect shot! I appreciate the commitment to art! The quality of the photos is outstanding. Vibrant colors, clear images, and perfect placement. Third interaction was our wedding. What a dream come true she is. There were so many stressors leading up to the wedding and she was a great help to know photos and some video were taken care of. She coordinated a second shooter for me, helped with some timeline questions, there was some last minute schedule changes and she was right there with me helping make sure things ran smooth. She really makes the day feel all about you, she is an observer of everything and steps in to take charge when needed (family photos). She gave me and my husband the space to be ourselves, and captured those moments. All my family members have raved at how great she was, and brave she was in the pouring rain. I have failed to post things on social media (my own issue) but the photos I have shared privately with friends and family, they have all been thoroughly impressed! A couple months after the wedding I reached out to Kiarha because my mom's dad died and my mother had been displaying a wedding photo that had him in it (sadly the only one) but my niece isn't looking at the camera. Kiarha did some investigating and editing and was able to send me a photo that had everyone looking at the camera. I gave it to my mother for Christmas and she cried, we are so very thankful for Kiarha going above and beyond! I recommend her for all your photoshoot needs, especially wedding related.
"She is so bubbly and sweet, it helped make stress and nervousness of getting my photos taken, vanish"
- Libby & Scott
Kiarha was an absolute dream to work with. She did our engagement shoot and wedding and I was blown away with the quality of photos that came back. Our engagement shoot day was rainy and gloomy, but the photos were still beautiful and elegant.
My husband and I are not use to having professional photos taken, and Kiarha definitely helped us feel calm & relaxed which resulted in some wonderful photos. The photography package we purchased included a video clip, which was absolutely amazing. We had a small wedding and did not have the budget for both a photographer and videographer - Kiarha does it all, and does it all very well!
She exceeded our expectations in every department, I would highly recommend her.
She is so fun and energetic, but also very professional"
- Kyle & Sheri
She went above and beyond capturing my wedding day and didn't leave any little details out. 10/10 would recommend her to anybody looking to have photos done. Exceptional work!
Kiarha is an amazing photographer."
- Mackenzie & Thomas
Her team was communicative, endlessly helpful, and went above and beyond. We had LOTS of hiccups on the day-of, and they just rolled with the punches with professionalism and patience. They were so kind, funny, and made the experience that much less stressful. I am so grateful to have had them there for my wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
"Kiarha did my wedding photography and she was absolutely amazing.
-Wenjing & Fei
husband and I enjoyed working with Kiarha! She and her team member are super sweet, kind and helpful, and their work exceeds our expectations! They are great at capturing the most beautiful moments, and the wedding film they made was excellent! 10/10 would recommend Kiarha!
She and her team member are super sweet, kind and helpful, and their work exceeds our expectations
- Leanne & Jacob
Kiarha was amazing!!! Our wedding ceremony was held outside. Right before the ceremony we ended up having thunderstorms, which delayed us over an hour. Kiarha was super positive throughout the day despite the unpredictable weather/schedule and we got amazing photos and video. She went above and beyond!! 10/10 would recommend having Kiarha be apart of your special day!
"Kiarha was amazing!!!
-Kylie & Family
Our family usually hates family pictures because we can never find the time in our lives to actually take time out of our schedule to do them. However, Kiarha made it so easy for us to take pictures as fast or slow as possible in our own time frame and we were able to in and out and we received the most beautiful pictures out of it. I would recommend Kiarha to anyone and everyone who wants beautiful pictures taken!
Kiarha was amazing!!!
-Andrea & Alejandro
Kiarha was so patient and kind! She took our wedding/video photos and we couldn’t be happier. She gave us some amazing tips that helped us plan our special day. My husband mentioned that he has super comfortable with her and felt like she was a friend attending our wedding. I can’t wait to be able to work with her again! Thank you so much Kiarha Lou Photography <3
Kiarha was so patient and kind!"
