You’re getting married!

Saint Paul is home, however I regularly serve the greater Midwest. Already built into your wedding package is 45 minutes of traveling, each way.

For distances further afield: after you fill me in the details and you let me know where we’re going, I’ll provide you with a custom travel quote. I then take care to arrange everything, leavin’ your plate clear for nothing but the good stuff. (Good stuff including but not limited to finding a great sun hat. Researching the best tacos in town. Crafting the most epic out-of-the-office message yet.) Hop on that email, lovely. I can’t wait to tell you what’s in store for you.

Fly-on-the-wall candids crossed with encouraging and gentle directives. It sound something like “WONDERFUL, NOW WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND EACH OTHER, THAT’S IT!!!!”

My approach changes depending on what part of the day I’m shooting, and it’s the best of both worlds, I promise. I hang back to observe and document when things are *happening* yet I’m unafraid to direct, prompt, and cheer you on when it’s called for—usually during the “posed” part of your day including our couple’s photos, wedding party shots, and formal family combos. Ultimately: I want it to look and feel natural. And I want it to feel.

No filters here, my dear. Color matters when helping convey emotion. I want the flowers in your bouquet to look so alive, you’d swear these images were scratch and sniff. Your gallery will be edited in warm, true-to-life tones, with a keen eye for detail, making sure they’re the best they can be.

I’m also a lil different from your average wedding photographer in the amount of time and care I invest in the editing process. Photoshop is my boyfriend and I frequently utilize it to remove distracting background elements, giving these keepsakes the polish they deserve. (For example: vanquishing wall outlets in spaces designed to feel clean and minimal.) You can trust I care about your wedding images just as much as you do, taking unique pride in every gallery I deliver.

All images are delivered in color. Those that I think would benefit from a black and white conversion are images you receive in addition. Expect to see 5-10% of your gallery in B+W.

YES! Absolutely! This is the number one question you should be asking all photographers. It’s important that you have a good feel for what to expect from a full wedding day, from family formals to how reception venues after dark might be handled. Happy to send a link upon request.

Historically, nope! In the last 15 years that I’ve been shooting weddings, I’ve done nearly every one solo. Although new in 2021 and beyond is the option to add on a very capable and handsome extra. (Everyone say hi to my darling Eric!) It will always be the 2 of us if you hire an extra, so no need to fret that I’m bringing on a stranger who doesn’t know how I work, and hasn’t been thoroughly trained in my specific style.

For the weddings that I will continue to shoot solo: I’m confident in my work and my ability to capture all the in-betweens, and that special wedding day buzz ensures that I’m snapping happily, bouncing around in your peripherals all day long. To troubleshoot the unlikely “what-ifs” of shooting alone, I’ve invested in a top-of-the-line camera that instantly records a backup of your images, I’m never without a spare camera body, and my bag is stocked with multiple lenses. I’d again invite you to ask to see a full wedding gallery to get a better feel for what my camera and I can accomplish.

If you’re getting married on a rainy day do not despair, oh brides and grooms. The plus sides: it has the ability to be wonderfully atmospheric and romantic, it’s usually never a steady downpour the entire day AND it’s good luck. Tadaaa! If you do have a tight schedule mapped out for your wedding day, and being more flexible for clear skies isn’t an option, I’d recommend investing in a charming, little umbrella. Clear works best to let in more light.

For real, who isn’t! That’s part of what I love about this job—getting you to a place where you feel comfortable enough to abandon the notion that you don’t know what to do in front of a camera. I’m not the kind of photographer to leave you hanging with nothing to do (unless you’re just full on in the zone, then I’ll just yell effusive compliments your way basically the whole night) but I’m also not gonna micro manage every last thing down to your pinky fingers, making you second guess yourself. Trust that I got ya, that we’ll find the right balance for you + your person, and that everyone in my portfolio is a real person. (Many of whom that told me at the top that they “weren’t good at photos.” 😉)

I’m also just gonna leave this right here for ya: a message from a recent bride—

”Also thought you should know, when we were talking about our favorite parts of our wedding, Anthony said ‘the pictures’!!!! Coming from a man who typically hates getting his picture taken/posing for pictures!! So I guess know you’re amazing and that you have a gift to making that a special time!”

My first KH couple is celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary this year! ( L+D forever, hooray!) It was gorgeous. Nerve racking. Intimate. At once rewarding and a whole bowl of laughs. So basically, nothing has changed in they way I feel about them, except now I’ve got the experience, the gear, and the knowledge that this is where I shine.

Nope, I’m a Kimberly! Although if you knew me as Kimi growing up, you can stick with that.
