CALIFORNIA WEDDINGS

Salty, sunny, coastal elopements,sun-drenched backyard weddings, and summer camp festival-style special days - I always enjoy my time down in California!

“Kendall is truly the best. We hired her for our elopement on the coast of California, and she made everything so easy and fun. We felt like she was just there to help us have a great day, but when we got the pictures it was clear she was doing way more than that. Couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible pictures.””
— Scot, Seacliff, California
“Working with Kendall on our wedding was such a treat!
She was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are beautiful and really highlight the joy and emotion of the day. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a talented wedding photographer”
— Charlie, Nicasio, California

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I honestly think that 90% of my clients think that they are awkward or unphotogenic. Look at these photos. Do these people look awkward to you? I am here for you, and have years of experience in helping folks loosen up. You’ll notice that my style is very documentary-esque, full of candids and micro moments, and light on stiff poses, where awkwardness festers.

  • The best way to see my most recent work is to check out my blog - though I won’t lie to you, I am 1+ years behind on blogging some weddings! They happen so fast.

  • I book one year in advance. This helps me keep my sanity, and a little bit of control over my schedule (my nightmare is that I will be scheduled to photograph a wedding on a day that my best friend schedules her wedding for). You are welcome to reach out earlier, and your date will get pencilled in on my calendar, but I won’t be able to confirm you until a year out. 

  • I do not offer video services anymore, but I can recommend some awesome videographers.

  • It depends on the scope of the wedding and your interest. I'm comfortable covering most weddings on my own, but once we get into large wedding parties and guest counts (250+), I recommend a second shooter to help me make sure I capture everyone you love!
