Kairos Photography | Modern St. Louis Wedding Photographers

Hi! We are Brittany and Michael "Smitty" Smith, the husband and wife team behind the camera here at Kairos Photography. We're parents to two beautiful baby girls and lovers of all things creative.

As musicians by trade, we have always had a passion for telling a story through the arts. After the birth of our first daughter, we realized the power of photography and the profound opportunity it gives to freeze those little moments with the ones we love. Stirred by this new avenue, we dove in and began to explore all the many ways we could tell both our own story and the stories of others through photos.

We believe photography is an extension of life - a way to capture the everyday and the once-in-a-lifetime. And we want to make those moments come ALIVE. Our style is vibrant and modern with a timeless feel. We love bold colors, beautiful light, and bright personality!

When you book a wedding or engagement session with us, you can expect a laid-back, relaxed shooting style with a mix of lifestyle and posed portraiture. We're totally not into to stuffy photos. Let's have fun, be playful, get real! We want to find out what made you first fall in love, what makes your heart come alive, what makes your story unique! We believe in honest captures and we want to tell your story through them!

I was referred to Kairos Photography by another photographer, Emily Dobson. We had already booked Emily for photography for our wedding and she couldn't speak any higher of the wonderful Kairos duo, Matt and Brittany. Brittany traveled many miles to meet with my (now) husband and I at a Starbucks to go over their packages. From the very beginning, we knew we had to work with them. My husband told me upon getting in the car after leaving Starbucks, 'We need to book them'. Their work is absolutely incredible. They pay attention to the details and are thorough and want to make sure to capture every moment that is deemed important. But even down to the minor things such as decor etc, Matt and Brittany captured it all. Another thing about Matt and Brittany that we truly appreciated was how well they worked with our photographer, Emily Dobson and her assistant. There were never any issues; both groups were flexible and respectful of what the other group needed for shots and different things. Lastly, looking back on the day, Matt and Brittany captured so many moments that are so precious to us but I never remember feeling like anyone was in our faces with cameras. They were very subtle in their approach. It was such a wonderful experience. We have received our highlight reel and I am sure when we receive everything else, we will be just as pleased as we were with our highlight reel. They truly want to capture every detail of the most important day of your life and they did exactly that for me and my husband. We will cherish our wedding video and highlights for many, many years. We hope to work with Matt and Brittany again in the future!

I met Brittany with Kairos Photography at a wedding show and instantly I knew she was different than most photographers. She wanted to know about me: my style, my interests, and the vision for our wedding. While talking with her, she wasn't pushy and I really felt like she genuinely wanted what was best for me and my fiancé on our wedding day. Along with the fact that Brittany really cares about her clients, she also has some amazing wedding photography packages which really sealed the deal for us. It was a no-brainer. Brittany has now photographed two engagement sessions for my fiancé and I. She has exceeded our expectations with the quality of her work, professionalism, and willingness to try any crazy idea I throw at her. I recently read somewhere that a photographer is going to be by your side during EVERY moment of your wedding day and I am so glad Kairos Photography is ours.

While planning our wedding, I struggled to find a photographer that I felt comfortable with. Everyone I spoke with just seemed to offer the same things and none of them felt right for us. Finally, someone recommended Kairos, and once my (then) fiancé, Jacob, and I met with Brittany, we knew they were perfect. We immediately felt comfortable working with Brittany. She was extremely professional but created a super relaxed feeling while working on details. She was extremely flexible with the payment schedule and helped make it work for us. Jacob and I were nervous for our engagement session but Brittany and her husband (her second photographer) made us feel so comfortable. We ended up having a blast, and I don't think we would have gotten so many genuine smiling and laughing photos without them! The day of the wedding, they were amazing. Brittany helped to keep me on track, and went above and beyond in keeping me calm! They handled so much for us, and made sure we knew where to be and when we needed to be there. Since they work in a team, they were able to get photos from multiple angles throughout the wedding day. Brittany snuck us away from the dancing for just a few minutes to captured some truly magical "night" photos of us, and this small detail became one of my favorites from the night. Brittany and her team really made our wedding special, and it was such a pleasure working with them. To top it off, they shared a super special and fun dance with us before leaving for the night. It was the small details, comments, jokes, dancing, etc that really made our experience with Kairos so phenomenal - and that was all in addition to our stunning photos.
