Dream Team!

I can't say enough good things about Kay and Abraham! When we met in September 2018 for our engagement session, they made us feel so so comfortable! Posing for photos can sometimes be super awkward, but not with this dream team! They knew just how to pose us so that we looked natural and were both comfortable.

They both showed up early on the wedding day and took AMAZING photos of the venue, as well as dress photos and pictures of the accessories, invitations, etc. I am so glad that I have photos of these things as they weren't something I was even thinking about on the big day!

Kay and Abraham were a blast, so friendly and professional. I would hire them a million times over. They documented our day so perfectly. We have so much love for them!!

So impressed & happy with our photos

We had the BEST experience with Kay and her husband on our wedding day, & everything leading up to it! We got an engagement session and the photo, video, & Photo Booth on our wedding day. It was so nice only needing to use one vendor for all 3 things. They are incredibly talented and everyone in our bridal party raved about their work. They also made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which helped in achieving amazing wedding photos. Highly recommend!

Best Photographer and Coordinator Ever!

Kay and her team were absolutely amazing!! Kay did both our engagement and wedding day photos. The photos came out beautifully! We weren’t the best at posing or creating poses, but Kay had plenty of ideas and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Not only was she our photographer, she was our coordinator as well. She made the planning process so much easier and less stressful. Her team was so sweet and kept the wedding day running smoothly. We could not have picked a better person for our wedding.

Kay Mitchell Photography is everything and MORE!

Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. We are so grateful for the packages they offered, as well, which included videography.

I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

Exceeded all expectations

Kay and her husband are so down to earth and genuine. They make a fantastic duo. You will instantly feel at ease upon meeting these amazing people, they make even the shiest of people comfortable in front of the camera. They take pictures of everything you can and cannot think of and turn it into something even more special and beautiful than what you could ever imagined. If you are reading this review and you’re on the fence about a photographer, think and look no more. These two will exceed everything you are hoping for.

Above & Beyond!

Kay & Bram were such a pleasure to work with. From our engagement session to our wedding day, they made everything seem seamless and gave us the most beautiful pictures and wedding video! They have continued going above & beyond even after our wedding day- editing our wedding pictures, sending us extra videography footage, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend them- and make sure you add on their videography services!!!

Ah-mazing, fun, sweet, nice

Katherine went above and beyond what I expected from our wedding day !!!! She really captured the story of the entire wedding. There were so many photos to choose from that I have the hardest time choosing which ones to display at our home.

She's very nice and easy to work with . I mean she dealt me and all my crazy family/ bridesmaids. Kay also made the photo experience really fun and enjoyable. I relive this day over and over again though the photos she took and also the video ( SO WORTH IT)

Thanks Kay for being so amazing !!! :)

Breathtaking photos

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kay and her husband. From the moment we researched Kay's work online and after seeing her Instagram pictures, we completely fell in love with her natural style of photography and the ability to capture the beauty in a moment.

Loved working with Kay on her styled shoot. I was impressed with the fact that she was so respectful of everyone around her. She had all her bases covered and made my suit look even fabulous. Of course the gorgeous groom helped too! Hope to work with her again in the near future!
