About

My inspiration on wedding days comes from the people, emotions, light, and all the beautiful, fleeting moments that can’t be planned. I’m constantly anticipating moments to capture genuine, heartfelt photos that reflect the soul of the day without ever taking away from its magic.

Any direction I give is always with the intention of creating a space where you can feel comfortable and free to be yourselves—where your love and personalities can shine through naturally. I hope to be a calming presence, a reminder to pause, breathe, and savor every moment. You deserve to be fully present on your wedding day, to feel every ounce of joy as you celebrate with the people who mean the most to you.

There’s no one better!

When we came across Kayla’s photos we were absolutely blown away. She has such a great feel for her couples and gets the best out of not only the environment but also the subjects of her shots. She has a calming and comforting presence that assures nervous couples that the photos from their wedding are in great hands. She ran the night like a pro and OMG the photos!!! Our friends commented that we look like we were in Vogue. Can’t recommend her highly enough! We are in love with our photos and can not get enough of them!

Simply the best!

Choosing Kayla to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding photos. They are the perfect combination of timeless, modern, and fresh. Not only is the quality of her photos exceptional, she also did a fantastic job of capturing the most special moments from our wedding day. She really took the time to understand what was most important to us as a couple and the photos she captured reflected that. None of the photos felt forced, cheesy, or awkward – the entire gallery felt like “us”. In addition to her amazing work, Kayla is so kind, easy-going, and fun to be around. She made us feel totally comfortable and at ease the entire day. We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her! 5/5 stars, 10/10, we couldn't recommend her more!!

Our Dream Wedding Photos!

Kayla made all my photo dreams come true!!! We hired Kayla for our destination wedding in Cabo and she was truly such a joy to work with. She has such a calming presence which puts you at ease during your wedding day. There were so many amazing shots of moments I missed and it was so beautiful to be able to see them in photos. She captures the day in a documentary style and her edits have an editorial flare - the perfect combo in my opinion. Our photos are everything we dreamed of and more. Romantic and modern yet so very timeless. Hiring Kayla was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We will cherish our photos forever! Thank you Kayla! 💛

Kayla is a DREAM to work with!

We are so thankful for finding Kayla! She was such a dream to work with and she made being in front of the camera so fun and easy going. From my very first phone call with her I knew she was the person I wanted to capture our most special day. We recently just got our wedding photos back and I have already received SO MANY compliments on how amazing the photos are - all thanks to Kayla! I highly recommend choosing Kayla as your wedding photographer as I know how special she was for us in capturing those moments that we will cherish forever. Not only is she awesome at what she does but she was also so lovely to be around as well!! She truly is the best of the best!

Kayla is the absolute best

Kayla was the absolute perfect match for us. We had our engagement and wedding photos completed with her, and we were looking at many different photographers. However, I fell in love with her effortless mixture of posed and candid shots. The entire way through the process, Kayla reaches out and communicates with you and helps you choose your engagement outfits/where to get them done. She also helps you with your wedding timeline and asks for a must have photo list. She has great informative material she sends you to help you with all your choices. I thought our engagement photos went well, but whenever she sent them back to us, I WAS STUNNED. I absolutely love them. They are such great quality and I have them printed out all over our house. Kayla is SO easy to work with and so full of joy and encouragement. She tells you exactly how to pose. She makes the entire process so fun and exciting. I cannot recommend Kayla enough! For our wedding, we had so many setbacks through our entire weekend – that we were pushed to have a backyard wedding and it looks like nothing even went wrong. I LOVE her work and I LOVE our wedding pictures. I will treasure them forever, and I will be recommending her to everyone I can tell about her work. HIRE HER FOR ANY PICTURES – she will not disappoint! Thank you so much, Kayla!!

Incredible in all ways!

Kayla is simply the best of the best. She was referred to us by our wedding planner, Bluesparrow Events, and after a quick peek at her work we knew immediately she was a one of a kind photographer! Her photos are breathtaking, timeless, and really tell a story. Kayla is the sweetest and most laid back photographer I’ve ever met! While I was initially worried that the wedding day photos were going to be a stressful process, Kayla’s calm demeanor radiated to me and left me calm, cool, and collected throughout the whole day! One thing I loved about Kayla was how she managed to get a photo of absolutely every moment without making me feel like there was a camera in my face all day. Looking through the album, my husband said multiple times, “how did she get that shot?? I didn’t even see her standing there!” She didn’t miss a single moment the entire weekend. It is the most amazing gift being able to relive our special day through her incredible photographs. The quality of her work and her amazing personality is truly unmatched!

Absolutely amazing

Kayla is absolutely amazing. She is easy-going, creative, and gracious. From the very first phone call, we knew we would love her to capture our special day. She goes out of her way to remember the little things and shows she appreciates the big decision you made to have her apart of your special day. I was a bride that had to postpone our wedding from April 2020 to September 2020 and Kayla was so understanding and kind throughout the entire process. We've only received the preview of our wedding photos and we are so incredibly happy with them. We can't wait to get the rest. The light, the framing, and the rawness she captures in her photos is breathtaking. Kayla will not only impress you - you'll want to be her friend after your wedding. We can't thank you enough.

Highly recommend

I hired Kayla to take photos of our December wedding, and she went above and beyond. She was really with me from beginning to end, helping me decide where to take the wedding party photos, and also incorporating film to really create some beautiful images. Everyone felt comfortable with her and she brought such a great, sunny energy. The photos were so beautiful my friend also hired her for her wedding!

So happy with Kayla Snell Photography

I'm so happy with the photos that Kayla captured for our engagement shoot and small civil ceremony! Choosing your wedding photographer is definitely a decision you want to make carefully, and I'm very happy I chose Kayla to be ours. The photos came out clean, bright, and most importantly captured moments of love. Working with Kayla was very easy and she communicated quickly through email. I would definitely recommend Kayla Snell Photography if you want high quality photos that capture authentic images for your special day!

Amazingly talented!

I booked Kayla after seeing her bright, airy photos that aligned perfectly with the style I was looking for. I was hesitant to take engagement photos (and normally hate the way I look in pictures), but she made me look beautiful. She’s incredibly nice and down to earth, and when we had to postpone due to Covid, she was the first vendor I contacted to make sure she was available for our new date. She provided helpful information throughout the process about things like outfits and timelines, and she let us express ourselves while still providing guidance and direction. My husband and i both felt incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, which was unexpected! Our wedding photos are full of light and joy, and I’m so happy Kayla was there to document it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
