And in case no one has ever told you, you can just live it. I know from years of experience (and even my own wedding!) that no matter how carefully you plan anyway, things will happen. Someone forgets the rings, it might rain, makeup smudges. And you know what? Your wedding will still be freaking incredible. Because you're incredible.
Your photography experience should be just as incredible. And also just as simple. You want images that truly reflect the truth of your day without any stiff, stuffy, boring posing. No photo list that feels like a chore. No expectations. You want to be able to soak up every second and have beautiful, honest images that transport you right back to the warmth and energy of your day even when you’re old and gray. Let’s leave perfect to the fairytales - you want real.
This is me, Kendra, and I am so excited to get to know you more. Before we work together, you should know that I bring my whole self to this work, which includes my fight for equity and justice. I am not a photographer who separates my beliefs and passions from photographing humans because I don’t believe they’re separate. I can't ask you to be vulnerable if I'm not willing to do the same.
I am vocal about my support for Black lives, LGBTQIA+ and 2S rights, the Landback movement, and all other ways that historically marginalized groups are fighting for equity, inclusion, and justice. A portion of every wedding and session goes towards supporting these causes in my local community and beyond. I myself am a work in progress; I continue to learn and unlearn every day to expand upon these principles in my own life, my business, and the wedding industry at large.
