Sarah Sent on 07/19/2021The best photographer!
Kyle was our photographer for both our engagement and wedding pictures. He was very flexible when we had to push back our engagement shoot a few times due to weather, and when both locations we chose for our engagement shoot didn't turn out the way we anticipated, Kyle was very positive and still made it work! My husband and I are very awkward when it comes to getting our pictures taken but he made it so comfortable and easy by giving us guidance on how to pose and compliments throughout the shoot that really encouraged us. On our wedding day, Kyle went above and beyond. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE. Seriously. I was so impressed that he was able to capture every moment of our special day. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a photographer and we will definitely be working with him again in the future to capture more life events! -

Alix Sent on 10/03/2021Kyle will be your favorite photographer!
Kyle was an absolute dream to work with for our engagement shoot and our wedding day and he will absolutely be my go-to photographer for future events. My husband and I are both camera shy and hadn’t had professional photos taken of us since our high school senior portraits! Kyle made us both feel so at ease that it didn’t feel like we were in front of the camera. He was so celebratory of every moment and really went above and beyond to make us feel special. We received our wedding photo gallery and I can’t stop swooning. Kyle is so talented! He notices every little detail and it shows in his work. You’ll be glad you booked him! -

Ariel Sent on 10/31/2020Highly Recommend Kyle!
I planned a surprise proposal for my fiancée, and Kyle was absolutely incredible. He captured all of the precious shots as the moment happened, and we did a photo session with him following. We felt so comfortable with him and felt like we could be ourselves in front of the camera. Neither of us have had a photo session before, but he calmed our nerves, and we truly felt like we were just spending time with a friend. He also got our pictures back to us the same night! They turned out to be absolutely stunning - not only do we love them, but our family and friends have commented on how extraordinary they are. We loved working with Kyle and plan to do so again in the future! -

Catherine Sent on 10/29/2020Punctual, genuine and a great eye
If you're someone who wants a photographer that genuinely cares about your vision and understands your style, Kyle is perfect for you. My husband and I were so comfortable during both engagement and wedding shoots all thanks to Kyley's professionalism and ability to make the best of any snags that came our way. Our photos are timeless and beautiful. From beginning to end and beyond, he is the best! -

Adriana Sent on 10/29/2020Wonderfully, relaxing, fun
Kyle made our engagement shoot so magically easy. I am not one that is shy but usually photographers that I have worked with don’t really fill the quietness when taking photos, majority of the time they speak when giving direction. Kyle was the total opposite; he constantly made my fiancé and I laugh , we talked about personally life, cracked jokes as if we have been friends for years, and on top of that our photos came out more perfect than I could have imagined. I highly recommend him! He’s a great man and great photographer. -

I will only need 1 photographer for the rest of my life.
Kyle is both a family friend and photographed both my engagement and my weddding. As someone who hates being in front of a camera, it is so important to me to have someone who made me feel at ease, took flattering shots, and also told me what to do during the shoot!! Kyle was all of these things and more and is a joy to work with. I highly recommend hiring him for whatever photography needs you have in your life as I will continue to be doing so. Looking forward to maternity shoots, newborn shoots, and family photos in the coming years. -

Genevieve Sent on 10/13/2020Amazing Photographer, made our wedding so special!
We had initially planned a big wedding, then COVID hit and our plan changed about 20 times. Kyle was totally flexible and accommodated us so well, even though things were changing almost every week as we got closer and closer to the wedding. Our photos turned out beautifully and perfectly captured our day. He also did our engagement photos which turned out amazing. We loved working with Kyle, he has an incredible eye and we definitely hope to work with him for future photos, I'd definitely recommend him to anyone for any wedding or other event. Not only is he incredibly skilled but he was very chill and accommodating during an incredibly stressful time, and he is also just a really fun and awesome person. -

Engagement Photoshoot
AMAZING!! Would highly recommend!! We needed Kyle to do an engagement session only as our wedding is out of state. We could not have asked for a better experience. Kyle was so fun to work with and made the experience one to remember! He was flexible and easy to talk to, we could not recommend him enough! -

Best Service and Quality
Kyle Lim of Seattle, WA flew across the country to Washington DC to shoot not only our engagement but for our day of as well. He coordinated our videographer and second shooter for our big day. In a busy city where logistics and communication are key, Kyle's team handled the day with ease without missing any detail in capturing our wedding day. If you're looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about your day with skills to match, you will not be disappointed by hiring Klear Photography. -

Words cannot express my gratitude for Kyle’s hard work and dedication he spent on our engagement and wedding photos. He is hands down the best there is in the PNW. He captured everyone one of our best and romantic moments on our special day. On top of that he is by far one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. After interviewing a handful of photographers I knew he was the one because of his warm and energetic personality and world class talent. Don’t waste your money anywhere else because Kyle is the best money can buy. He earned a customer for life. -

Armin Sent on 11/04/2019The perfect photographer for any event!
I can't thank Kyle enough for the wonderful work he and his crew did in photographing my mother's surprise 80th birthday. I knew his shooting style was perfect for the event, and as a fellow photographer, I absolutely appreciate everything about his photography. Kyle was always communicative and ensured that he fully understood the event's needs. He was great to work with and I recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding or event photographer! -

Troy Sent on 11/04/2019Amazing photos and experience
Kyle is an amazing photographer that sets himself apart from others with his artistic shots that you can only find with select photographers. He takes into account many different aspects of getting beautiful and candid shots while making it fun for everyone. During our engagement shoot and wedding photos we felt like we were on a fun date with Kyle accompanying us! I would absolutely recommend using Kyle for any photo occasion. His kind demeanor and easy approachability are a bonus and his work ethic is inspiring. He was incredibly busy while editing our wedding photos, but we were still stunned by the excellent caliber of work we were given. Thank you Kyle for all of your hard work and artistry! -

Katelynn Sent on 11/01/2019Wonderful Experience!
Kyle was so amazing to work with! He took the time to get to know us and figure out what we wanted in our photos. Leading up to the photoshoot, Kyle was available for questions and advice and always quick to respond. The day our photo shoot was scheduled, the weather was awful, Kyle took the time to check out the location early in the day and let us know he thought it would be best to reschedule, and even with our (and his) tight schedule, he was so accommodating to get us rescheduled. The photoshoot was so much fun; Kyle is easy to be around and made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Kyle, his style is so beautiful and he really cares about the people he works with. -

We love Kyle!
He made us feel like models in horrible weather and was so fun the entire time. He truly is an amazingly talented photographer and a great friend. We couldn’t be happier with the photos he did for our engagement in the snow -

Literally the best in the business
Choosing Kyle as our wedding photographer was the single best decision we made for our wedding (besides marrying each other!). It is true when we say Kyle will be our lifelong friend and we have kept in touch with him after our wedding like old friends. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for our wedding day, and the photos are simply to die for. We are so lucky to know Kyle and have chose him as our photographer - his pictures speak for themselves. You won’t go wrong picking Kyle for your wedding or other photography needs (we already told him we will be those dog parents that hit him up for a photoshoot with our fur baby when we finally get one). -

Ally Sent on 10/18/2019Worth every penny and more!
Kyle was a recommendation from my matron of honor, who knows him personally. My now-husband and I knew we really wanted amazing photos and were prepared to budget accordingly, and we're so glad that we got connected to Kyle. We met him for the first time at our engagement shoot, and instantly we vibed with him. He made the whole thing feel so comfortable and fun, plus we really got to know him as a person and he's just all around a great guy! He kept constant communication with us throughout the planning process and was extremely organized and professional. Plus, he just made everything so easy and calming, assuring us that the only thing we needed to do was relax and enjoy our day, and thanks to him we were able to do just that! His execution on the day of was impeccable, and he made the day run so smoothly and easily handled wrangling us and our wedding guests when needed. Both him and his second shooter were spot on all day, and while we eagerly await to see our photos, we already know they will be amazing. Thank you again so much, Kyle and Peter! -

Kyle did an awesome job photographing our wedding
Kyle did an awesome job photographing our wedding. The photos turned out amazing and we have so many different shots to choose from for making photo albums and framing. We particularly liked that Kyle was willing to give us the high resolution digital copies of the photos he took. Kyle was a really good sport when taking photos of our family and everyone was goofing off and being silly. He still managed to get great photos of the family in spite of this. -

Vi Le Sent on 06/28/2019A perfect, friendly photographer that goes above and beyond expectations!
Kyle was absolutely the best decision we could have made for selecting our photographer. Right from the beginning and throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding day, Kyle kept in touch with us through email exchanges. From simple back and forth conversations (sometimes just friendly messages unrelated to the wedding) and periodic check ups to see how we were doing, we could tell right away that he was a person with positive energy and we were able to establish a real connection of comfort. He went above and beyond expectations by being a comforting ear when we needed someone to consult for other vendor selections; in fact, it was through Kyle that we found our amazing DJ Scott Fijolek.
When the big day came around, everything felt so natural, our entire bridal party LOVED Kyle and had such a good time taking pictures. By the end of the night, it truly felt like Kyle was an old friend.
Oh and of course, the preview pictures he sent were incredible. He has a fantastic eye for photography, he has a fun, friendly, and inviting presence, and we would HIGHLY recommend him to any of our family, friends, or anyone needing a fantastic photographer.

Wendy Sent on 04/06/2019The words cant explain the joy when I look at the photos~
I think it is the smartest choice to invite Kyle for our pre-wedding photographer. He really done a good job. Not only me, my friends and family love his photo style, natural and beautiful. They are a piece of art. His photos don't just show, but tell a story. He did make my day. Lol,it is 4am. OMG! I still cannot get over of that. I am too excited to have sleep since I got the photos. -

A truly caring team
Thank you Kyle and Team for making my wedding day a day to remember! Everything went smoothly and I cannot describe how much I loved each and every photo! They were able to capture every detail so I literally feel like I’m reliving the best day of my life over and over again. -

So supportive and present
Kyle captured our wedding so perfectly. We had a small wedding of 20 and he was able to get all requested photos, candids, and couples shots in such a short time. He felt like he was part of the group- our family just loved him. He has warmth like a good friend- throughout the entire wedding planning process he checked in on us to make sure we were doing OK and always offered to do anything we needed of him. He is so professional and was so fun to work with. -

Ana Sent on 11/15/2018Absolutely fantastic!
I found Kyle on Thumbtack while searching for engagement photographers, and I am so glad I did! He responded to all my questions and emails quickly and thoroughly. When we met him for the engagement photos, he took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable. The photos were amazing! And that's saying something - my husband and I are both pretty awkward in front of a camera. Naturally, we became friends and I had no doubt I wanted Kyle to capture our big day as well. He worked with our budget and my requests. The week or so before the wedding (when I started to freak out about all the details), Kyle was extremely helpful and so full of information and suggestions to make things flow better. He kept us on time on the big day, but made it so I was comfortable and didn't feel rushed or stressed about time. I'm so glad we found him - I highly recommend Klear Photography for your big day! -

Kyle was a joy to work with. You can tell he really loves what he does. He made us feel so comfortable and engaged-which for two people who never take photos- was a feat! His edits were gorgeous and were delivered so fast! -

Kyle is Amazing!
I was so happy with my photos! The day it was amazing and Kyle kept everything stress free and fun. Bonus: the photos turned it absolutely gorgeous! Don’t go with anyone else for your big day! -

Stephanie Sent on 09/06/2018Kyle was so great! Friendly and easy to work with and really made us feel at ease during the photos. I appreciate how flexible he was with our timeline and ideas for both our engagement shoot and on the wedding day! The second shooter (Peter) was also great and a friendly, welcome presence. We love our photos - some wonderful shots for sure!

Sara Sent on 09/03/2018Kyle was easy to work with and easy to communicate with before/after our shoot. When we wanted to edit our bundle to fit our budget he worked with us. He provides great photos in an amazing time and even checks on you after he’s sent out the final edits just to make sure you’re happy with them. He’s amazing! -
Aileen Sent on 08/31/2018Kyle is an awesome photographer! He was able to help us with a last minute Christmas photo shoot for our holiday cards. Kyle did such an amazing job! He was able to capture our squirmy baby daughter and got the pictures back to us quickly. We really like his style and lighting techniques. We've known Kyle for a while too and he is such a positive person, so he's really easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Steven Sent on 08/20/2018Kyle is a rock-star photographer.
He shot our engagement photos in Seattle and put us at ease right from the get go. Engagement photos can indeed be awkward, but it was such a fun experience.
The photos turned out amazing and we used throughout our wedding. Photos last a lifetime and Kyle's professionalism and skill is well worth the experience. My only regret is that I wished that I knew Kyle even earlier in our wedding planning process and we would have loved to have him come up to Vancouver for our wedding shoot.
Thank you Kyle for the photos of a lifetime! -

Angela Sent on 08/17/2018Kyle was an absolute dream! He knew exactly what me and my now husband were looking for in a photographer! I hate getting my picture taken, and just really camera shy overall but he made me and everyone else in my wedding party super comfortable, including my guests as well. We made a life long friend and he will definitely be my number one call for any of my photography needs in the future. Also, the pictures turned out amazing andyou will not be disappointed I can guarantee you!

Shoshanna Sent on 08/17/2018Kyle is such a joy and pleasure to work with. He is committed to the photo, making the shoot fun, and putting smiles on faces. He knows how to really capture emotion and find a moment. He is timely with returns and does beautiful edits on top of photos with amazing composition. He is also just a wonderful, genuine, loving human being. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to capture an intimate, loving moment with the one they love.

Aiko Sent on 08/16/2018I have nothing but good things to say about Kyle and the service he offers. He is efficient and gets the shots in a short amount of time. As a subject I felt so at ease and it was like the camera wasn't even there! We were chatting most of the time and he managed to get so many beautiful shots of me. His turn around time is so fast and I appreciated the amount of care that went into my photos-he customized the editing to fit my brand and personality. He's all around a joy to work with!

Michal Sent on 08/16/2018Kyle was great! He met us where and when we wanted (even did a short hike with us) for our engagement shoot and took beautiful photos. For our wedding he was fun and professional and made sure to get photos of the whole process from getting ready to the end of the night. We haven't gotten all our photos back yet, but the ones we have seen are great!

Savannah Sent on 08/16/2018Kyle was very communicative with us the entire time, from the first chat in thumbtack for the engagement photos, up until we received our pictures back from the wedding. I don't know what we would have done with out him. The pictures were very natural and less posed, which is exactly what we were looking for. I can't recommend Kyle and his team enough.

Grace Sent on 08/22/2023Kind person but bad experience
We were very excited for Kyle to be our wedding photographer, he was one of our first vendors we booked. He was recommended highly by one of my best friends and I saw what an amazing job he did with her wedding photos. Photography was one of the top things we prioritized with our wedding so we invested lots of money and trusted Kyle with the most important day of our lives. Kyle was great on our wedding day, he was there on time and was professional and present even though we knew he was going through some difficult family situations. However, after the wedding he completely ghosted us for months on end and we only got our photos back 10 months later. The photos he took were great but I’m really bummed because there are no individual portraits of me and my husband by ourselves from our wedding day that weren't taken even though it was specifically on my list and something I reviewed with him the week before the wedding. I am reaching out to friends who know photoshop to try to get edit some group photos of us so we can have at least one portrait by ourselves. We also still haven’t received any individual shots of my husband with his groomsmen and family members even though we heard from the second shooter those were photos that were taken. Kyle is a great person and we are really sorry he is going through a rough season but this experience for us was not great. -
