    Sam & Autumn are the best!

    Working with Sam and Autumn was incredible! It was so nice having a photographer/videographer team that knew each other well, they kept us relaxed and focused on enjoying our big day, they handled all the details! We can't wait to see the video, and absolutely LOVE how the photos came out. Working with them for planning, all the way through to after the wedding was a dream. Can't recommend these two enough!

    Favorite vendor

    I can not say enough good things about Autumn. A coworker of mine used her for their wedding and I knew from that moment I wanted her to capture mine. Four years later we made it happen! She is so kind and friendly, she made it so we didn't feel stressed or awkward at all. And the pictures are AMAZING. The way she captured my wedding was even better than I could have imagined. Her style is beautiful and the whole experience was completely stress free and easy. And to top it all off, she got the photos back to us INCREDIBLY quick (I was so impressed!) Absolutely my favorite vendor from my wedding. Thank you Autumn!!

    Sam and Autumn are the Dream Team

    I cannot say enough good things about both of these lovely humans! Between the two of them, they will not miss a moment of your perfect day! Autumn's photography style is beautiful and she will make every picture look flawless. Sam will help you relive your wedding day through his amazing videography. They work together seamlessly to capture every moment and I couldn't be happier we chose both of them to be a part of our day! Please hire them, you will not regret it!

    The BEST experience

    We hit the jackpot when we found Autumn. She literally was the best photographer we could have found for our November 9th wedding. Autumn was with us for the engagement photos and the actual wedding date and did NOT disappoint. She helped up feel comfortable and was able to seamlessly capture moments of our wedding we didn't even know about. She did a beautiful job and had our photos back to us FIVE days after the wedding. We could not be happier with our choice in Autumn and would recommend her to anyone!

    Picture Perfect

    One of the very best decisions we made in the wedding planning process was choosing Autumn as our photographer along with a second shooter, and Sam as our videographer. Their professionalism, reliability, efficiency, positive attitudes and vibes, and countless other positive attributes, were crystal clear through the planning process and on our wedding day. They flawlessly integrated themselves into our day, kept us calm and collected, kept us to our schedule (which Autumn helped us to develop), and managed to create beautiful works of art which we will treasure for all our years to come. Autumn and her team make you feel like you are friends who have known each other for years, even when meeting for the first time on your wedding day. Autumn handled our wedding party of 24 plus 2 flower girls and a ring bearer, with patience and grace. We excitedly recommend Autumn Kern Photo for anyone looking for an amazing, stress-free experience and beautiful products!

    Autumn is the best!

    There are just no words to adequately describe Autumn. She was a god-send. From our initial phone calls and video chats, to the day of the wedding, Autumn went above and beyond. She was ever-present, answered all of our questions (there were many!), guided us, informed us, and took absolutely stunning pictures. She’s a true pro, and brings a genuine care to the job. Autumn felt more like a friend photographing our wedding than a photographer. She is a blast to be around and get to know. She made us feel so relaxed and the entire experience was unforced and natural. This aspect of her style truly shines through the beautiful photos she captured. Her photos are not cheesy portraits you look at once and tuck away to gather dust. We love looking at them, can relive our experiences through them, and everyone who sees them can’t compliment them enough. We are truly grateful for Autumn’s professionalism, her keen eye, and her glorious personality and sense of humor. Is there a way to give more than 5 stars? We love you Autumn!

    Picking a photographer is one of the most important choices you can make when you are planning your wedding. I knew I wanted Autumn initially because she had the same aesthetic that I was going for. She also was highly recommended by my wedding planner. In the months leading up to the wedding, we had a skype session and really delved into what I was looking for for the big day. I felt so confident going in that Autumn would take care of us.. and she did not disappoint! From creating whimsical first looks, to wrangling blended families, cousins etc, to capturing our ceremony and reception. She also shoots with her assistant so we have the most beautiful photos of our tables, signage, decor invitations. Do yourself a favor and check out her instagram. She is a true artist!

    From the moment i looked at Autumns website/portfolio i immediately fell in love with her style of shooting and ability to capture the emotion of the moment and the personality of the couple. It can be stressful posing for pictures but she made up completely at ease and was so amazing to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any couple!!

    We are SO happy we worked with Autumn. She's the utmost professional and was so easy to work with. As a photographer, she put us at ease. She helped us bring our vision to life but wasn't afraid to nudge us in the right direction either. We're so grateful for her work, her commitment, and her presence!

    Thanks Autumn!!

    Okay, Autumn was seriously the best. She was so sweet and down-to-earth, and even though I felt pretty awkward about having someone taking so many photos of me, I think her personality made it mostly painless :)
    I love that her photos have this kind of effortless, playful feel to them and are edited in a really modern, stylish way. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully, and I never had to worry that they wouldn't! Just trust Autumn to do her thing.
    She doesn't have any complicated packages or anything like that, and her pricing is incredibly fair, which I loved. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best wedding decisions we made, for sure.

    AUTUMN KERN PHOTO's reply:

    Oh, Kelly! You're the kindest! Thank you so much. I had such a great time with you guys and just adored your celebration!

    We hired Autumn, a second shooter and her brother-in-law/Videographer and we are so happy we did. My husband and I loved Autumn's style immediately and when I found she had added a Videographer I jumped for joy! We had sadly not met Autumn before our wedding day but she walked in like she had been part of our lives forever. She's funny and has a comforting presence and tries to make you feel good while you're in front of her lens. It was hilarious when she called the groomsmen "chaos made flesh" and a truer statement has never been made. She dealt with my raucous crew with a smile all night and dealt with the few family photographer's that sometimes got in the way with grace. I LOVE my photos and I LOVE my video. I worried after the wedding we didn't get certain shots and when we received the photos, there were shots I was amazed were taken! They were like ninjas! I loved working with these 3 talented individuals and I love the outcome of their art. I have a small background working in photography and my sister is a professional photographer so I knew I would be picky when it came to settling on a photographer for our big day. She says on her website that the dress gets put away, you may never see the venue again but you'll always have the photos. She puts into action her beliefs and I got such great photos of my day that I will cherish until the end of time. I want to print like every single photo, picking favorites is hard right now! When I looked at my favorites, I noticed I had "favorited" the majority of the photos! My husband who I thought would look awkward not being used to being in front of a camera -- looked like a model. There were photos I just yelled "YES!" at because it captured the feeling of the day, our feelings toward each other and just were breathtakingly beautiful. Autumn connects with her clients and I think that's why her photos are so great. I would definitely recommend We Are The Kerns to everyone!

    AUTUMN KERN PHOTO's reply:

    Caitlin! What fantastic words - thank you! This meant so much to me. The whole team had a blast at your wedding, and I'm so glad that we were on the same page about the groomsmen. ;) Give Jamie a hug for us!

    OH MY GOD. Hiring Autumn was possibly the best choice I made for the whole wedding (well, aside from the groom of course.) Her attitude was so relaxing, even without having done any engagement portraits or anything prior to the wedding, my camera shy husband came out looking like a model. Autumn also basically became the timekeeper for the whole day, letting my bridesmaids know when to get dressed, coordinating the first look and keeping portraits on schedule, all the while coaxing the best out of everyone. She scouted around our venue and found the most beautiful places to shoot, places I never would have thought of. Our photos are honest, real and artistic. Also, her use of online contracts, invoices and skype meetings made her the easiest vendor to work with out of everyone I hired. Could NOT have asked for anything more!

    AUTUMN KERN PHOTO's reply:

    Joanna! Thank you, thank you. I said it on your wedding day and I'll say it again: you're a true queen. <3

    Where do I begin with Autumn? She is absolutely the best photographer I have ever seen! She was my first wedding vendor selection and quite possibly my best! I knew immediately we had to have her as soon as I saw her work. Her style is gorgeous and so natural which is exactly what we were looking for. I didn't meet Autumn and her assistant, Sarah, until the day of our rehearsal but it didn't matter because I felt like we were all friends from the moment we met.
    I loved that Autumn had fun right along with us! When our rehearsal dinner turned into more of a dance party there she was capturing every moment! When I was 20 minutes+ late to meet my groom for our first look she had a way of making me feel calm and not rushed. She somehow got us ahead of schedule before the ceremony started! After the ceremony when she was then challenged with capturing family photos involving 40+ people with countless combos to wrangling a wedding party of 20+ people who were all anxious to get to cocktail hour she did so with graceful authority and efficiency. I was absolutely in awe. She was a blast to work with and made both of us feel so comfortable which I am beyond grateful for.
    Thank you Autumn and Sarah from the bottom of our hearts for capturing those precious moments that we will cherish forever.
    P.S. I hope to see you at many more of my friends weddings! I can't stop raving about you both and obviously the pictures speak for themselves. So much love to you all!

    Oh, Autumn! There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this woman is! She has one of the warmest personalities of anyone I've met, and she immediately makes you feel comfortable. My husband and I fell in love with her photography style - and having a photography background, I'm particularly picky. I just knew we HAD to have Autumn as our wedding photographer.
    She was so fun to work with, and our entire bridal party raved about her the entire night and the day after the wedding. When we received some sneak peeks on our way to our honeymoon (YES, she's that quick!), I immediately started tearing up. She has a special way of capturing the feelings and excitement of your wedding day... It's a skill and talent that's hard to come by.
    We would recommend Autumn over and over. It was an honor to have her photograph such a special day in our lives, and we can't thank her enough!!

    AUTUMN KERN PHOTO's reply:

    I just found this and immediately felt all warm and fuzzy. You and Joe are spectacular, and it was my sincere joy to party all day with you, your bridal party, and your families. Seriously. One of the BEST days of last year!

    We LOVED Autumn and cannot recommend her highly enough! Autumn did an excellent job getting back to us asap and was extremely professional and efficient. Not only that, but she managed to take the time to get to know us and make us feel extremely comfortable with the whole picture process. She is so creative and has such an elegant, timeless style to her pictures! She made it a point to make sure we got everything we wanted and worked really hard to capture every important moment of the wedding day! She's the best!

    There are not enough wonderful things I can say about Autumn that could accurately describe what a beautiful and amazing human and photographer she is! The pictures are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! We didn't want your standard wedding photos and what Autumn delivers is unique and personalized! When we met her it was like we had known her forever; she is a great person and makes you feel so comfortable! The whole day was so relaxed but Autumn was all over the place getting every detail from the moment she got to the venue! If you are thinking of booking with the Kerns my suggestion would be DO IT, you seriously won't regret it!

    We couldn't be happier with We Are The Kerns Photography! Autumn and Josh are awesome people in general and they are so great to work with! Mike and I had never had our photos taken professionally before (aside from school pictures...) and Autumn walked us through everything! She guided us and made it all look natural. Their photos speak for themselves. They are breathtakingly beautiful! Choosing a photographer was probably one of the hardest decisions I made when it came to wedding planning, but I am so happy that I chose to go with the Kerns. Their personalities are fun, but professional, and they also know when to things need to get done to keep the day running on time and can handle taking charge without upsetting anyone. Whenever I had a question, Autumn always responded quickly. They also returned our photos to us quickly which is great. And since I've gotten them, I've spent hours looking over them because there are so many beautiful shots that catch our wedding day (and engagement pictures) in amazing ways. The hardest part is to find your favorite pictures because there are so many good ones! Thanks to Autumn and Josh for capturing our wedding day in so many beautiful photographs!

    We loved Autumn!

    A photographer can make or break your wedding. As a personality, she has amazing energy, allows you to feel completely natural, and is really encouraging. She also does the little things to help you get through the day.

    As an artist, her pictures speak for themselves. They are classy, timeless, and beautiful. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to have Autumn photograph our wedding.

    I recently got married on June 14, 2015, and I was absolutely honored to have Autumn photograph my wedding. As I was looking for a wedding photographer, I noticed several patterns amongst the vendors I spoke with. They were either ghastly expensive, difficult to contact and slow to get back to me, or didn't produce good quality photos. Autumn Kern stood out from the rest by immediately responding to my inquiry, and by being incredibly flexible throughout the entire process. I was so nervous about having my picture taken because it is generally not my favorite thing, but Autumn made me feel so comfortable and made the process immensely enjoyable! On the day of the wedding she was funny, easy to work with, and helped decrease my stress level significantly by taking the initiative and wrangling a large, rowdy wedding party with ease! Obviously, the photos were INCREDIBLE (I couldn't be more pleased!!), but what made Autumn stand out was her attitude, professionalism, and ability to get things done while maintaining a cheerful and likeable disposition the entire day. Autumn is a gem and I would highly recommend her for engagement photos, wedding photos, or basically any other event!

    AUTUMN KERN PHOTO's reply:

    Katie, I would happily shoot your wedding EVERY weekend if possible. I hope your move to Florida was easy and delightful!!

    I knew Autumn through her husband and partner Joshua, and started seeing streams of gorgeous shots through my Facebook news-feed at least a year before I was engaged. Once my husband and I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do my pictures. I did my due diligence and researched other photographers, but nothing could beat the Kerns in terms of quality and value. Photography might have been one of the bigger ticket items in my wedding budget but it was way worth it. The day goes so fast that it is invaluable to have those small details captured. You won't regret hiring them.

    Ah, Chloe, you are too sweet! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on here. I hope your move out west was all sorts of good adventure!

    We are so glad that we hired Autumn to do our photography for the big day! She was fun, professional, and able to artistically capture every special moment of our wedding! Neither my wife or I are fans of sappy and posed wedding photos, and that is why we were so excited to have autumn as our photographer. She captures candids like no one else! We couldn't recommend her and her husband more if we tried. YOU WILL NOT REGRET HIRING THEM... I PROMISE! We would frame every photo we received if we had enough space on our wall... ok, thats all. Book them NOW.

    We were hesitant at first to spend the extra money on a professional photographer, but looking back it was our best decision to do so. We hired Autumn Kern (and her husband) to shoot our wedding and couldn't be happier with the job they did. They were a lot of fun to be around all day and took the pressure of taking good pictures off of us. They made it fun! I'd highly recommend them!
