Kayla took our photos 10 years ago and we flew her out for our wedding on our 10th anniversary. Everyone kept telling me how kind and sweet she is when taking pictures and we are so happy to get one with her as well.

Kayla was absolutely perfect! She is AMAZING and the photos are breathtaking! She made the whole experience fun and memorable. Fantastic photographer and an amazing person. She had so many wonderful ideas for the photos and was wonderful at capturing the feel and the spirit of our wedding. I have gotten so many wonderful comments and compliments from family and friends regarding the quality and beauty of the photographs Kayla took. Numerous people have told us how perfectly she capturing the love between me and my now husband. "The look" of love between us was capturing perfectly. My mother, who is a divorcee and not a sappy individual, told me that Kayla's photos "Made her believe in love again."

If you are looking for a photographer, you won't find someone as wonderful as Kayla. I honestly, can't speak highly enough of her. She was everything we had hoped for and so much more. She instantly felt like family and made the experience wonderful. Being a couple of dorky scientists, we were a little awkward, but Kayla helped us loosen up so quickly and have a wonderful time. The pictures are wonderful and I will gladly have her help with all of our special moments in life.

If you are looking for authentic, gorgeous photos, a warm, fun, and calming personality, and a tremendous value, book Kayla now!!!
She has become our family photographer over the last six months, and I can't wait to see what memories she perfectly captures for us in the future! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Thank you for so much love on our wedding!!! You're the best!

Kayla was amazing! I shopped around quite a bit and she was by far the most reasonable I found in the PDX area for wedding photos. My husband is not keen on being the center of attention and or getting his photos taken, but Kayla, with her calm and sweet nature, made the whole process feel very relaxed and natural. It is clear by watching her that she is talented at what she does! The pictures were ready in a matter of a couple days and she even put together a beautiful 10 minute slide show set to music of our choice in less than a week as a special favor to us, as we had a quaint ceremony and wanted it to show all our family and friends at the following weekend's big wedding reception bash. Kayla FAR exceeded our expectations and her services were seriously worth EVERY PENNY! Money well spent! Thank you Kayla for capturing our wedding day PERFECTLY! ~Maria and Joe Beinvenue :)

Where do I begin on commending Kayla of Love Light & Lens? Two things I love about her: she is personable and flexible. I found her site, and fell in love with her work. But I immediately knew her work, although worth the price, was out of our budget. My husband and I had a small breakfast/beach wedding and a very limited budget. We thought we had to forgo a photographer all together. But I had a great feeling about Kayla and reached out to her. I told her my dilemma and it was a 20 minute ceremony with a short breakfast after, I asked if she could customize a package for our needs. She immediately responded, and to my surprise she instantly had a solution -that was in our budget!

Kayla met up with me shortly after and took the time to get to know me and my fiance. She made me feel great about my wedding and never held back any service, quality or professionalism through the entire process. Kayla was on time, fun and creative -my entire family loved her.

Now on to photo quality, the entire reason I fell in love with her. All her pictures were crisp. I have so many friends who believe they are photographers, but their work always gets muddled with too many filters and over editing. Kayla's pictures are like I am standing on the sand and looking at the ocean through my own eyes. Her work captured the exact moment and each shot was fresh, clean and beautifully framed . I could not have been more thrilled with the photos.

She had our photos available within a week and a half!!! I have never seen a photographer be so timely. When we reviewed the collection (which was not slim!), all the highlights had multiple options for us to pick from - they were perfect. I think my biggest issue, is buying enough frames - It is quite impossible to pick just a few to hang! Our time with her may have been short, but she didn't miss a single thing.

So stop shopping, and call her. I wouldn't have wanted to share my day with anyone else but her.

Kayla was the best choice we made for our elopement in Oregon. She even squeezed us in on the July fourth weekend. The amount of time she spent with us was beyond the time we paid her for,and we truly appreciate all her effort and thoughtfulness. She recommended locations based on what we told her we liked from pictures. She truly cared about our plans and making our ceremony special. Thank you Kayla!

Kayla was fantastic- she met with us at the venue before the wedding to brainstorm options, and the day of the wedding she had such a nice calm presence that it just felt like another good friend was at the wedding. She even helped me select which earrings to wear! She was an excellent director, giving gentle but specific guidance for the shots. The end results were simply stunning, with such lovely moments captured, and such a wide variety of shots. I would highly recommend her!
