    Easy communication, wonderful photos, fantastic experience!

    There are so many things to praise Kyle for! Let's start with the final product - the photos. They are gorgeous. They captured our wedding in a personal, warm and creative way. We just got the link to the wedding album website and it was such a joy to go through and relive the day. The colors, composition, moments captured, and warmth the pictures bring back are perfect.
    Kyle was such an easy person to work with. We had our first meeting over happy hour and had a fun, flowing conversation where we felt that our wishes for capturing the day were listened to intently, great suggestions were made, and we left feeling completely secure in our choice for photographer. Communication in the intervening time period was very easy, and all of our questions were answered promptly, which was so helpful while juggling all of the other items needed. A short time before the wedding, we nailed down a gameplan for the day of schedule, and decided what pictures we wanted and who we wanted to have in them. It was very nice knowing that those details were well thought out in advance so that no one would be missed.
    The day of was so smooth. There were absolutely no issues at all and working with Kyle and Aubrey was a joy. Since everything was so well thought out, we had time for pictures in the neighborhood, and some flexibility in family photo additions.They captured all of our intimate, special moments so easily. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

    Amazing talent

    finds beauty everywhere, kind, patient, spontaneous shots that just come out breath taking. Secretly plays many roles but just says he is the photographer

    Working with Kyle was a great experience!

    My husband and I booked him because we really enjoyed his style of photography and the way the photos looked. Kyle was super organized and made sure we always knew what was happening and he kept the flow of the event moving. He made my husband and I super comfortable in front of the camera. He caught specific moments I requested, and ones that I didn't know had happened. I highly recommend booking Kyle, you won't regret it!

    Amazing Experience, Kyle is Extremely Talented!

    Working with Kyle was amazing, and we loved getting to know him throughout the process. After initially meeting him, we felt an instant connection, and knew he would be the perfect person to capture the best day of our lives. He is professional, fun to be around, and his work is artistic and well executed. Kyle also did our engagement photos which helped calm some of the nerves we both had of being in front of the camera, before the wedding. Kyle made the whole process seamless, unobtrusive, enjoyable, and above all, comfortable. His assistant Kai, was also gracious and a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Kyle took some creative risks with angles and lighting that turned out to be some of our favorite photos. We love our engagement and wedding photos, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

    It was a pleasure working with Kyle for our October wedding at Union Pine. Kyle was friendly, helpful & responsive in the months leading up to our wedding & a calm, capable presence on the day of.

    Kyle is a talented photographer who delivered many beautiful final edits of our photos. He captured both posed and candid moments, including some amazing first-look pictures and snapshots of our guests singing karaoke.

    Photos are an important aspect of the wedding & I am so grateful to have chosen someone as kind, professional and skilled as Kyle. Thank you!

    Kyle Carnes Photography's reply:

    Annie, thank you so much for the kind words! :)

    We booked Kyle as our day of wedding photographer and could not be happier. We initially began with a skype call just to feel each other out and felt like we were a good fit so we went ahead and booked.

    He walked me through every step of the photography process, listening to my requests, and guiding me in a helpful direction while maintaining patience during all of my million questions. He recommended we book a 2nd photographer for the day and that was certainly the right decision. Kai, his assistant, was able to capture lots of moments with the guys while Kyle was snapping shots of the girls.

    They were both professional, pleasant and funny, well priced and all around a great choice.

    Kyle photographed our entire wedding day - from getting ready well into the dance party. It was a very hot (95 degrees) 10+ hour day for him, and us, and you'd never know it from the photos. Kyle was able to capture the most beautiful photos of my husband and I, our family and wedding party.

    Before the wedding, Kyle was super helpful in helping us plan a flow for the wedding day. With his advice, we were able to make some smart choices about timing and flow. Throughout the planning process and wedding day, he was extremely responsive.

    Kyle was very easy-going, friendly, and above all, uber professional. His photos speak for themselves, but they caught our eye for his tendency to incorporate the beauty of the natural surroundings and lack of totally unnatural poses (especially with wedding party pics).

    We are beyond thrilled with the photos he captured of our day. I've had tons of compliments and I rank hiring Kyle as one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. After it's over (and it's over so fast!), your photos are all you have left to remember your wedding by!

    Kyle is a seriously talented photographer. The pictures here on Yelp don't do his skills justice (photos are too small). If you are even slightly considering hiring him as your photographer, check out his website. Those pictures are what sealed the deal for us. We liked how he maintained a perfect balance of both realistic and artistic style - exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. And we're happy to say that's exactly what we got from him!

    We hired Kyle for both our engagement session and wedding (plus assistant) and both events produced such wonderful photos - pictures and styles we've never had of us! He and his assistant captured so many moments that we missed throughout the day. Not to mention, he took pictures of everything I had requested beforehand (even the little details I forgot about the day of).

    My only photography regret is not giving him enough time on our wedding day to take even more pictures of our guests. We were at least 30min late in taking pictures (totally our fault) which is really a huge chunk of prime pre-ceremony photography time. So give yourself enough buffer folks! When else will you have such a talented photographer taking photographs of you and your loved ones looking their best! Seriously, you'll want every minute with him.

    Bonus, Kyle is super nice, organized and accommodating. When meeting with us, he was always early and way prepared and was willing to try out anything we asked (even if it was a bad idea, haha). Do yourself a favor - contact him, get your questions out of the way, and book him before someone else does.

    Kyle shot my wedding back in 2009, and then did some maternity shots with me and my husband in 2014. We were his very first wedding, and I couldn't have been more impressed with him. He is a true artist, a lovely human and a great business man. I recommend him to everyone in need of photos. He has a real eye for angles, nature, and the ability to read a couple to know what kind of look they are hoping for. I can't say enough about how great he is both professionally and personally.

    Professional through and through!

    Kyle Carnes was our photographer for our October wedding. I have to say, Kyle felt more like my guardian angel throughout the process. He spent about an hour to do an initial consultation with us; before that meeting we weren’t even sure what we needed to look for in a photographer! He was so patient and walked us through our anticipated needs. Once booked, Kyle recommended my hair and make-up artist (after I was far too late in the game to book my initial top pick) and he helped smooth over some concerns I had with our venue coordinator. On the day of, he was so easy to work with! We haven’t gotten the photos back yet, but I have no doubt they will be exactly what we expect. Thank you Kyle!
