You won’t find better… the best photographer ever

I’ve used KSmithson Photography to capture all of life’s most precious moments over the years. From boudoir to engagement to wedding and now babies and family! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS EVER. She’s simply amazing. The pictures could not be more perfect. I mean I know I looked good on my wedding day… but she made me look so much better. I’m not a photography nerd but there’s something about the angles and lighting and pose that just makes the perfect photo. She shot my destination wedding in San Diego. This wedding was moved 3 times due to Covid. She stayed with me and supported me and personally she’s just amazing and an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to her sessions now for a good laugh… and then an amazing picture of said laugh :) to quote Tina Turner: she’s simply the best, better than all the rest

Just Beyond Amazing

I sincerely don't know even where to start. These photographers are absolutely incredible. The only thing that exceeds their energy is their talent. They were a source of joy and comfort on our wedding day -- it felt like having our close friends taking our pictures, which really allowed us to be comfortable and I think that really shone through the photos. Now let's talk about the photos . . . to say we adored them would be a severe, and almost offensive, understatement. They were breathtaking and going through them together with my wife felt like reliving our wedding day. I wish I could express my gratitude and delight well enough in this review, but unfortunately I simply don't have the words to do them justice. I would stake my word (whatever that may mean to you) that these should absolutely be your photographers. We receive no perk from this review, only the comforts that we may, in some small way, (1) repay their gifts to us and (2) help any prospective bride/grooms in making what should be the easiest decision in their wedding planning process. I don't know you, reader, but would it be too far to say you're being foolish if you considered anyone else?

One of the best decisions we made

Bringing Rae into the mountains of Colorado with us for our wedding was, by far, one of the best decisions we made! She did an exquisite job with photos you writing expect from a wedding (they are seriously in frames all over our house) but where Rae shines is in capturing and creating the moments you never want to forget. I look back so often on the photo Rae took of my mother-in-law watching me walk down the aisle towards her son with love and acceptance in her eyes. I laugh at the “from above” photo she took of two friends from completely different parts of my life having a dance off. And I will never forget when the downpour happened in the middle of our vows, Rae told my husband and me to just stop, breathe, and share a kiss in the rain before running for cover. She is incredible at her work and a beautiful human. Good luck not becoming friends with her after your wedding!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rae, an exceptional wedding photographer. Their attention to detail and ability to capture each moment exceeded my expectations. The final photos beautifully tell the story of our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

Comfortable and FUN!

Working with Rae was super fun. She’s sweet and hilarious. She made us feel super comfortable for our own natural poses together but also offered ideas when we weren’t sure what to do. She brought out laughter that made for the happiest photos we’ll cherish forever. She also had fun ideas to put us in environments we were comfortable with, like climbing for one of the shoots because it’s a passion of ours. Highly recommend! You’ll have fun, love the photos more than any others you have and you’ll even gain a new friend!

Enjoyable, comfortable, affordable

KSmithson photography was absolutely amazing. I’m a little shy behind the camera but she is so good about making you feel instantly comfortable. We had so much fun and I am IN LOVE with our pictures! We’ve done various shoots with her before; couples shoot, newborn shoot, engagement shoot, and family photos. These sweet memories are printed all over our house! You will not regret hiring this company!
