TO ME, LOVE IS SYNONYMOUS WITH MOTION. LOVE IS A MOVING, BEATING, BREATHING THING THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN YOUR HEART DOES.

I am Destany. My soul is ignited by creativity, edginess, unconventional love stories, intimacy, trust, and fearlessness. I am a non-conformist. I occasionally have crazy ideas, I make inappropriate jokes, and immediately treat you like old friends inviting you into my heart. I understand what sparks that happy-dance-inducing “Hell-yes!” emotion when the images represent the love I see in front of me. Capturing images is a partnership; it takes collaboration and a connection to make something truly beautiful. That is why I’ve surrounded myself with creative powerhouses who share my passion, experience, and point of view to bring my couples heirlooms to cherish for a lifetime.

At the Kismet Collective, We prefer hand-crafted to factory made. We use the natural, God-given elements of nature and light around us to expound on the beauty that is already present. We are constantly reading expressions, and anticipating the next laugh. We notice the minute and the uncomplicated; the hands that hold on tightly, the breath before the kiss. We linger with our couples, valuing the time from initial meeting to final goodbye.

Nevertheless, we are not a one-size-fits-all solution. We are not afraid of getting a little dirty, a little crazy, and spending the time it takes to craft the true representation of you at this one moment in time. If you are hesitant to trust us and our vision, and are opposed to taking an adventure, or if the concept of your wedding involves extravagant dresses and Pinterest-perfect details, we might not be the right fit for you.

We call many places home, from our own threshold to an airport terminal – wherever you are, that is our home.

This is going to be the story you leave behind for your loved ones.
Let’s make it a good one.
