Kayla is an absolute dream to work with and we're so grateful to have had her for an engagement shoot and the wedding. She made us feel immediately comfortable and was quickly able to encourage us to lean into the fun of a photoshoot. She works with her brother on the wedding day and he was also an absolute treat to have around. Both of them are truly so calm, organized, and creative. The pictures look amazing and we want to work with her for life's special moments for the rest of our lives. Look no further, she is the one!

I do not have enough nice things to say about Kayla. Even before our initial meeting I had a gut feeling she was going to be the photographer we picked. We did our engagement photos last year and my fiance and I are both not very photogenic people - but we got SO MANY amazing shots where I couldn't believe that was us. She is so positive and encouraging during the shoot and made us feel comfortable. At the wedding she took charge and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. She was always responsive to our emails and was very organized and helpful. Our ceremony got rained out and she was flexible. I don't need to get any photos back yet to know that she did an amazing job and you should not hesitate to book Kayla!

From the moment we had a meeting with Kayla we knew she was our photographer. The excitement she has for her work really makes you feel special. We had her do an engagement shoot for us in downtown Chicago, which turned out beautiful photos. Our wedding was this past Saturday and I cannot wait to see what Kayla captured. The other thing that sold us on Kayla was the fact that we get all our photos with no watermarks and on an USB drive so we can print them whenever and wherever we want.

I am SO HAPPY that we chose Kayla for our wedding photographer. Honestly, it's hard to put into words how fantastic she was during the entire wedding planning process and especially on the day of the wedding. She quickly responded to every email and was super helpful with her suggestions. When we first met her, I felt like we were sitting down with a good friend. She is so sweet, personable, and easy to get along with. I can't emphasize how important it is to hire a photographer that you are comfortable with and can have fun with since your photographer is with you all day on your big day. I also loved that Kayla has a second shooter (her brother). They were both on time, sometimes even finishing ahead of schedule, and they had such a positive energy and genuine desire to really capture the day. It was wonderful being able to trust them to take the reins. So far we have received only a few preview photos, but THEY ARE STUNNING! I've had people tell me the photos look like they should be in a magazine. Kayla is extremely talented, and I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. Stop your search and hire Kayla. It will be the best decision of your wedding planning process!

Kayla was incredibly professional. The quality of her work is top-notch. She took any and all pictures that we requested. She took over 1300 pictures in total (along with her assistant, her brother), and every one was beautiful. She provided us with fully-distributable digital copies of all of her shots on a flash drive so that we can return to them for years to come. We would recommend her to anybody!

I don't even know how to put into words how amazing Kayla was. The moment we met her, we knew we wanted to book her. She is so friendly and sweet but also extremely professional. We first used her for our engagement photo session and were so impressed by the results. She shot photos of us in both our condo (with our pup) and on the lakefront. We ended up with so many we loved!

Throughout the entire planning process, she was extremely responsive. I never once had to worry about not hearing back from her. On the day of our wedding, she was in charge! She took all of the direction I sent to her prior to the big day and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She worked so easily with our venue and other vendors as well. Once we got all of the "formal" shots, she fit seamlessly into the background. So far we only have a preview of our photos but I love them all so much!! I cannot wait to see the rest!
We both 100% would recommend Kayla to anyone. Thanks for capturing our day so beautifully, Kayla!!

Kayla was an absolute joy to work with throughout our entire wedding planning and the day itself. She was always quick to respond to emails and had a lot of good tips for us along the way (and even sent us a sweet Christmas gift during our engagement!). On our wedding day she did a great job of staying on schedule (we even had a little extra time after pictures to relax—how great is that?) and being flexible when we remembered special pictures we wanted at the last minute. We loved her vision for all the different poses and shooting locations. Our first sneak peek of photos were beautiful and we can’t wait to see all of them—we would highly recommend Kayla Brooke Photography to anyone looking for a photographer!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Kayla. From day one of meeting and speaking with her, I knew she was our photographer. She is incredibly down-to-earth and is passionate about what she does. I immediately felt as though she was one of my friends. On top of having a fantastic, friendly personality...she is INCREDIBLY professional! She was always extremely responsive to our e-mails and took the time to meet with me (twice!) to discuss photo ideas and specific shots that we wanted. She and her brother (second photographer) make an excellent team. On our wedding day she was a total boss! In a good way!! With two photographers and videographers intertwining with one another, she took full command in directing everyone so that we could get photos and video shots done efficiently. I also have to mention it was about 95 degrees on our wedding day and she ALWAYS had a smile on her face and had so much energy regardless of the heat! My dad's quote - "Your photographers were first class." I promise you will not go wrong choosing Kayla as your wedding photographer!! I plan to use her for future life events that need photography. I'd give her 10 stars on each category if I could! :)

Kayla was amazing to work with! She was really responsive through the entire process and was very flexible when it came to meeting up to discuss our wedding with us. She was great when we met with her and did a great job of answering all of our questions, not to mention, her portfolio was gorgeous! When we were within a week of our wedding, there was rain in the forecast and we had planned on taking many pictures outside, considering there was not a lot of places inside the venue that we would be able to take pictures with while our guests were there. We were worried about what we would do in the event that it rained and my mom reached out to Kayla to see what she would suggest. She was able to put our mind at ease and offered many suggestions as to what we could do at the venue in the event that it did rain (even though she had never been to our venue before). It did end up raining the day of our wedding, unfortunately, but Kayla really made the best of it and was so enjoyable to work with. She had some ideas of how we could work outside in the rain and made sure that we were comfortable with being out in the rain for a little (luckily we got a little break from the rain where it was just sprinkling a little). I loved how she worked with myself and the rest of the wedding party. I normally don't like getting my picture taken, but she made the process very easy and natural. Kayla was very affordable and we were able to get all of our pictures back within her promised timeline. They turned out beautifully. I cannot say enough good things about Kayla, she was so great to work with!

EVERY bride needs Kayla in her life!! Kayla Brooke was the single best decision that my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. We looked into many photographers and met with a few, but Kayla is truly one-of-a-kind. Her communication and talent are unmatched! We had an amazing engagement session in negative winter weather, and Kayla made it more fun than we would ever thought possible! My husband and I weren't huge picture takers before this, but Kayla makes you feel so comfortable! We forgot how cold we were! ☺ When we received the final product just a few weeks later, we were overwhelmed! In 90 minutes, she captured so many phenomenal photos! We couldn’t wait to share them with all of our friends and family, and we were so looking forward to having Kayla with us on our wedding day!

Before the big day, Kayla was my go-to person for questions. She always responded quickly, thoroughly, and thoughtfully! She was not only a photographer, but she felt like a wedding planner and a friend! Thank you Kayla!!

When Kayla and her second shooter/brother, Marshall, arrived at my parents’ house on my wedding day, I had a calming sense come over me. I knew everything was going to run smoothly now! To no surprise, Kayla and Marshall were an integral piece of our wedding day! They calmed the bridal party’s nerves and got us having fun and laughing! They created moments that you thought you would only see in a magazine! They took my vision and made into a reality! We feel so lucky that they were able to share their talents with us! Kayla can corral a big wedding party, direct them, and make magic happen! Because of Kayla and Marshall, we have photographs and memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

We CANNOT thank Kayla Brooke and Marshall enough! If my husband and I could do it all over again, we would have booked them sooner!! ☺ We hope that we will have the opportunity to work with them again for future family photographs!
