"Kim was nothing short of fabulous on our wedding day. She was attentive and a pleasure to work with. She was able to capture the day’s most memorable moments and was so easy to work with as someone who is not always fond of being in front of a camera. If you’re looking for someone to photograph you’re special day, there’s no one better than Kim."

"Kim did an amazing job with our wedding producing stunning, high quality pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. Along with her second shooter, Kim truly captured our big day perfectly and we are so happy with how our photos came out. Her photos stood out to us when we were searching for a photographer and our pictures came out looking better than we could have ever imagined. "

"Oh my god. What can I say about Kim? She is FABULOUS, and takes the most stunning pictures you could ever imagine. Kim is someone who truly knows her work, and loves it. You can feel how much she enjoys taking pictures and capturing the moments for you. We had a short engagement - 6 months - and it didn't end up working out that we had time for engagement photos. Kim suggested doing something after the wedding, called a "Rock the Dress" shoot. I was intrigued, and it was perfect! My husband and I got to put our wedding outfits back on 2 months after the wedding and take photos on the beach, lying in the sand and even in the water! But beyond that, at the wedding Kim was able to direct us to the best shots, come up with some creative ideas and capture all of the formal photos that I was hoping for! Kim is wonderfully talented and we were so grateful to her for capturing our wedding day!!"

"Dear Kim,
Where do we begin with how thankful we are for you!? First off we hope you and your family had a wonderful and love filled holiday season and a happy new year! We are taking the opportunity of this snow day to look through all our photos and reminisce. We just wanted to reach out to you to let you know how overwhelmingly happy we are with your gorgeous photographs from our wedding and all of our wedding contest events. Looking through them all we were so emotional. They all were absolutely beautiful and captured all of the amazing moments and feelings from our day. We especially loved the moments that you captured from the girls getting ready shots and our incredible formals on that beautiful green background. You are so talented and artistic and the emotions shine through so clearly in your work, it is really breathtaking and we are so fortunate to have these incredible memories. We honestly could not be more happy with your beautiful photography. We are so incredibly thankful for all of your hard work throughout this process and for being by our side the entire way. We also couldn't be happier with your photo that was chosen for the cover of the magazine- beautiful and so artistic and colorful. Thank you for everything and hope this message find you well. We are currently working on getting all of your reviews done on wedding websites so that we can tell everyone how amazing you are! "

"I cannot believe I never emailed you! I forwarded your email to about a million people because I was so excited. Drew and I are obsessed with the photos and cannot wait to see what else you captured! We were worried as part of our photo time felt so rushed due to the day escaping us--- however, you are so talented and your work is beautiful and no one would ever know that time was an issue.

"Kim, you don't even know… these pictures are incredible! I, Kerry that is, cried happy tears when I saw a few of the shots you got. Specifically, the totally candid shot of all of my girls getting me dressed in a hurry, and the fact that you got a picture of my ring on my starfish shoes! You may be surprised that those shots out of all of them were what did it for me, but those were two shots I was really hoping came through after the day ended! You really did catch everything and Debbie was fabulous as well. We look forward to getting the flash drive! The question is, will our flash drive photos have your logo on every bottom right corner, or will it be regular photos without logo like our engagement photos? We were wondering if it was possible to get them without the logo with the wedding photos too. Also, about our album, is there anything specific we need to do to meet with you or do you just make the album for us? I am sure we talked about it back in the day but we do not remember. We can give you a call as well if you prefer. Again thank you so much for these memories; it is a good thing we have a lot of wall space because our house just might become a "wedding museum" gallery. Kerry and Jimmy

These photos are INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for all your gorgeous work - Nick and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome! We're heading out of the country in a week and a half for our honeymoon but we'll be on the lookout when we return for the flash drive when it arrives.
Again, thank you!
Best,
The Foxes!

"Kim is AMAZING. I fell in love with her work when I saw a picture of hers gracing the cover of Seacoast Weddings in January 2015. I then decided to give up a few things so that I could fit her into my budget, and I am so glad I did. Kim knows exactly what she is doing, and I learned from our engagement shoot that if she tells you to do a pose that feels awkward, do it, because it's going to come out amazing! On our wedding day she insisted we go in the stairwell of our church, saying it would make a beautiful picture. Boy was she right. The photo turned out being one of our favorites, and looks like something out of a Disney movie! Not only is she talented, but Kim is very responsive and so sweet. I would choose her a hundred times over as my photographer. I have gotten many messages from people saying our photos are the most beautiful they've ever seen, and that they even made them tear up, and this was coming from people I don't know extremely well! Having Kim as your photographer poses only one problem, you won't be able to decide which ones to put up on the wall! "

When we started looking for wedding photographers, I probably looked at more than 40+ photographer's websites. I was looking for something unique and just wasn't finding it until I came across Kim's website. As soon as I saw her pictures, I knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer, and I was even more excited that she fit into our price range. Kim was always super responsive by email and when we met with her for our engagement pictures, she was so nice and fun and genuinely committed to getting the best pictures of us. It didn't seem like we were just another one of her clients, she made it seem like we were special.
When it came time for the wedding, she looked over our tight timeline and realized she was going to need help from a second photographer and booked one a few days before the date. I'm so glad she knew what she was doing because they were able to get the pictures done a lot quicker with time to spare and we were able to make it to other locations to shoot at. It also made it a lot less stressful. As for the wedding pictures, they came out absolutely beautiful. I love how she does the usual staged "pictures for your parents," as well as some unique shots and candids. The whole collection just shows how awesome the night progressed. People commented that the pictures should be in a magazine (which isn't surprising, Kim has had her pictures in magazines.) We couldn't have asked for better pictures, thank you Kim!!!
