ABOUT ME

My name is Kayley.
I'm based out of Lethbridge, AB, Canada.
And I have the happiest job because I get to spend the happiest day of your life with you.

But I mean it. Every time I'm asked by folks, what I do, that's my answer and it's true. I've been a big people person ever since I could talk and I've loved taking photos of all the memories since I could figure out a camera with my grubby little kid hands. Now I get to meet and work with the most awesome people on the regular and capture memories for more than just myself. I adore nostalgia and I think I find my inspiration by pursuing that - whether it's photos for my clients or just the memories of my own.
As for the "Kayley" that's not just dancing at your wedding with her gear in hand, I'm a wife to the most wonderful man, named Alex, a dog owner to the world cutest Golden runt, named Doug, and a gal who loves to experience life out and about. 
Since Alberta has been my stomping grounds since I was a wee one, it is forever special to me that my work gets to take me all across our beautiful province, and especially the Calgary area. Here are some of my fav spots & things to do!

Take it from these folks...

- Stef & Mike

I don't even know where to begin. Kayley's photography absolutely captured me when I first came across it. I hadn't found any photographers that fit the bill for our wedding and we were going to go without. When I saw her work I had to reach out, we were only a couple months from a long weekend wedding in the summer and someone was smiling down on us because she was available and wanted to capture our day.

We just received our photo gallery and I am speechless. The moments she captured that I had no idea even happened are priceless. The photos are timeless and I will be reliving our wedding day for eternity with these amazing shots.
I can not recommend Kayley enough, her communication, her thoughtfulness and the hype she brought for our wedding was more than I could have ever asked for. She is worth every penny and then some. I can't wait for future photo sessions together. From the bottom of my heart, thank you ♡

"...she is worth every penny and then some..."

Wedding outside Calgary, AB

- Hayley & Joshua

... leading up to our wedding! From our initial consult with her she was so friendly and genuinely excited about our vision for the day. Not only did she offer her expertise and advice on everything photography related for the day, but she also provided suggestions on day-of timelines and other amazing vendors if we wanted them. Kayley was an amazing communicator throughout the planning process, making sure to check in with us every few months and always giving the option to schedule meetings/zoom calls for any updates/questions we had for her.

When it came to the day of the wedding she was also just the NICEST/most chill/helpful/cool person to have tagging along and capturing the getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception/dancing etc. I think it's important to like your photographer, as you literally hang out with them all day! We shared many laughs together and she made my wedding party feel super comfortable which helped us get some amazing shots.

After the wedding she was still super communicative about timelines for gallery delivery which I really appreciated. Of course her portfolio speaks for itself - the photos are BEAUTIFUL and we honestly could not be happier with them. She made sure to understand exactly what we wanted in terms of vibe/specific shots/styles of photos and delivered everything perfectly. Thank you for everything Kayley!

"booking with kayley was one of the best decisions we made...!!!"

Wedding at The Gathered outside Calgary, AB

I don’t know if words can fully describe how truly incredible and talented Kayley is. When we were first looking for a photographer for our wedding, I came across Kayley’s Instagram page and immediately fell in love with her work. Her photos perfectly capture the love and joy at each wedding. Her attention to detail is incredible, and the photos we received from our wedding are so beautiful and truly bring back all the emotions we felt on that day.

From the moment we first contacted Kayley and even after the wedding, her communication and thoughtfulness were unmatched. She was incredibly quick to respond to every email, answered all our questions, and even helped create our wedding day timeline. She also assisted us in choosing stunning photo locations in downtown Calgary. Thanks to her efficiency and organization, we even had extra time to visit a nearby bar and get some great shots there as well. Every single moment of our day was captured beautifully, and we will cherish these photos and memories for years to come.

Not only is Kayley an amazing photographer, but she is also genuinely kind, enthusiastic, and fun to be around. She had everyone laughing and was constantly hyping us up throughout the day. We truly cannot say enough good things about Kayley and her work. She is a wonderful photographer, and we highly recommend her!

FAQ'S

How much does a Calgary wedding photographer cost?

On average about $6000-9000 is a pretty typical spend for wedding photos but that varies depending on the style and experience & availability

What are some fun things to do after our wedding in Calgary?

Time of year might be a bit of a factor but in the summer I'd recommend hitting up the restaurants on 17th or Stephen Ave and go for a walk or float along Memorial/the Bow River. Nose Hill Park is also great for small-medium hikes. In winter, you can easily get out to the mountains to go skiing or snowshoeing and there's plenty of cozy cabins and lodges. Reach out and I can send you more recommendations!

What are your favourite Calgary wedding venues?

The blog right below has some listed that are great options but here's some more! Heritage Park, Flores & Pine, The Gathered, Fairmont Palliser, Rivers Weddings Cafe's, The Westley Hotel, Azuridge, The Lakehouse, Bow Valley Ranche, Char Bar

Do you also do Calgary engagement sessions?

Abso-fruitly! I've worked with lots of my couples in or around Calgary for engagement photos before so I have lots of spots to share with you and I'd love even more if you have any places special to the two of you!

There's such a unique array of wedding venues with different styles you can find to match your wedding vision perfectly.
