About

I am a wedding photographer based in San Diego, CA. If you're looking at my profile - you are likely engaged and searching for a wedding photographer and let me tell you, I am so glad you found me!!!! I know planning a wedding is crazy and you're probably looking through a bunch of images and profiles, so here's what I want you to know:

This isn't about me or what I'm looking for as an artist. This is about YOU, giving YOU the best experience ever, and making sure you feel comfortable putting your celebration in my hands. These moments are important and can't be relived. You deserve an experienced photographer who can be there for you, anticipate all those little moments bofore they happen so they're ready to capture every single one, and ensure you have a blast along the way. Because marriage is fun, weddings are fun, and I want you to have fun. I thrive off relationships and am ALL IN with my couples - helping you every step of the way.

Your wedding is a big deal to me. You aren't just numbers on my spreadsheet or dates in my calendar. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAS YAS YAS” because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. My job is to make your day as easy and fun as possible, and in the meantime, capture incredible images you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.

Utterly incredible & talented, Kami is amazing and you should definitely consider her for your wedding!!

Kami was an absolute dream to work with!! From our very first meeting I knew she had to be our photographer. My husband and I are not photo people and she has such a kind and warm energy that came in so handy on our wedding day. Also, it doesn’t hurt that she’s amazingly talented. Her photography captures the essence of each couple and her photos look like they were taken at different weddings instead of being completely cookie cutter. Kami was also so wonderful to work with from a professional standpoint. When we had to postpone our wedding she was more than willing to work with us while we secured a new date. She even flew down from Oregon after she moved out of our state in order to honor her contract! I thought that was incredible of her. Ok but back to the real reason anyone reads these reviews. Kami’s photos blew me away. I cannot wait to frame them in our home. We finally have photos I won’t be embarrassed to show people. Thank you so much for your artistry, professionalism, and kindness throughout this process! I will cherish these photos for all time. I've included a few of my favorites from the preview!

teeheehehehe!

Booking Kami for our photos was an incredible experience from beginning to end. We are not a couple that enjoys taking photos and had a lot of anxiety going into our engagement shoot. Kami made it feel so natural and fun, sometimes we forgot it was a professional shoot. Come wedding day, neither of us had any anxiety about being the center of attention and posing for thousands of pictures. We knew we would feel comfortable in front of the lens and that Kami would capture the day perfectly. We’ve just received our preview pics and are STUNNED at how they have turned out. We can’t recommend Kami highly enough for her professionalism, easy-going attitude, and fun atmosphere. Side note: we also want to be friends with her because she is so cool lol.

The brightest and happiest photos anyone could ever dream of!

If you want to have an absolute fabulous time and truly enjoy getting your photos taken, Kami is your girl!!! I first noticed how sunny, bubbly, and happy everyone looked in her photos and now I fully understand why. Kami is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is the ultimate hype person and ensures that she captures the bright, happy mood of the moment. Kami also provides a wealth of useful information and is always there to answer any questions you have, whether it’s related to photography or any other wedding-related concerns.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kami for both our engagement photos and the wedding. We had never done a photoshoot together and Kami made sure we both felt comfortable, natural, and most of all, had fun with it! She gave us direction when needed, but really just let us be ourselves and laugh our way through it. The photos were better than either of us could have ever imagined -- great framing and the editing was on point. After the engagement session, we were even more stoked and ready to have Kami by our side to capture the magic of the big day. Her positivity and warm personality brought an energy like no other that made us feel like superstars. We never felt like we were under the scope of a lens the whole day -- it just felt like we had another friend to party with! (:
