Amazing Team! Beautiful Photos!

Kirstie and her team were great to work with from start to finish! They seamlessly integrated into our wedding day and did a great job capturing all of the special moments! We only had a limited time for photos before the sunset, yet we have so many beautiful photos to choose from! The pricing is very reasonable and worth it! Would definitely recommend them for your wedding!

Absolutely amazing!

There truly aren't enough works to describe how amazing Sarah from Kaybee Photos is. Sarah captured our wedding this past October and from start to finish, everything she did for our wedding was beyond amazing and absolutely beautiful. She captured every moment so perfectly-both the big emotional moment and the quiet, meaningful ones in between. Her professionalism, creativity and calming presence made the entire day even more special. We will treasure these photos forever and I cannot recommend her or her team enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and their story.

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

Sarah at Kaybee Photos was absolutely phenomenal. From our very first meeting, she was warm, personable, and made us feel completely at ease. We had her take our engagement photos, which turned out beautifully and completely solidified our decision to hire her as our wedding photographer.

Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly patient with the many emails I sent with questions. When an issue came up with our timeline, she immediately reached out, scheduled a late-night phone call, walked us through her suggestions and options, and completely calmed my nerves.

On our wedding day, Sarah was the perfect person to have by our side. She kept us as close to schedule as possible, and when we had to nix our outdoor sunset photos, she made sure we still got private sunset photos in the bridal suite as a beautiful alternative.

We received our photos within the timeline stated in the contract, and we were absolutely blown away. They are not only the most gorgeous wedding photos, but the most gorgeous photos I’ve ever received, period. We have definitely found our photographer for life and cannot wait to hire Sarah to capture more of our life’s moments. Highly, highly recommend Sarah and Kaybee Photos.

I was honored to work with Sarah for one of my best friends wedding I was a MOH for. I’ve been in a few weddings and I have never been in one that the photographer was so helpful/kind and actually trying to get that perfect shot. I seriously can’t recommend Sarah enough for your big day! Between her helping us bridesmaids stay on track or when my nail popped off and she came with glue to save the day. If you are looking for someone who is personable, helpful, and can make you laugh make sure you pick Sarah!

Just do it!

I’m not going to lie we were last minute with wedding planning so we didn’t really look at others prices BUTTT what I will say is it doesn’t matter because they were AMAZING. not only did they capture our day perfectly but you don’t really realize how much time you actually spend with you photographers so you really don’t want them to be boring and dull. These girls had us belly laughing & we just genuinely enjoyed every minute of taking photos. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES & A GOOD TIME, couldn’t ask for more.

Not ONLY were the pictures amazing for our wedding day but Sarah and Kirstie are so funny and personable. They are not uptight and know how to ease the stress of wedding day. We love them.

Highly recommend!

Cannot say enough good things about Kirstie, highly recommend! She was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process, very friendly, and appreciated her humor! We eloped in Starved Rock and the photos were BEAUTIFUL. Not only did she take amazing pictures, but she hiked with us in the heat and made it enjoyable! We're both introverted and definitely felt awkward at times posing, but she did a great job directing us with what to do! Whether you're having a wedding or eloping, you won't regret choosing her! Will definitely use KayBee again in the future for family photos 💙
