Kailee Kroll Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Salem, WV

I'm a professionally-trained journalist turned self-taught wedding, elopement and portrait photographer based in Clarksburg, West Virginia. I thrive on fun, authentic interactions and I love making the most camera shy people feel like rock stars. My style relies heavily on natural and candid moments, I want your images to transport you back to that special day as it was— the laughs, the goofy glances, that one tear that rolls down your partner's cheek as they see you walking down the aisle for the first time. To me, photography is a lot more than just pretty photos — it's an experience and a real part of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Weddings can be very expensive & stressful. I was so nervous picking out a photographer for our wedding, until I stumbled upon Kailee Kroll’s page and I instantly fell in love with her style. I reached out to her and almost immediately got a response. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and was the only source of calmness & reassurance I had for the entirety of planning. She went above & beyond her title of “photographer” and never made me doubt her intentions as her communication was impeccable! I would absolutely recommend Kailee to anyone. You will not be disappointed!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.

Golden Hour Images was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From our first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, fast, and easygoing. The quality of their work was amazing, with beautiful, high-quality photos that perfectly captured all the special moments of our day. They made our engagement pictures so special and fun, even incorporating our camping-themed shoot and being so patient with us and our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team to document our engagement , and we're thrilled with the results.

Having worked with Justina before, we were always impressed by her cool, calm, and thorough communication style. Her unique and creative approach to photography perfectly captured the theme and feel of our wedding. Justina was running around during the reception, elusively getting the best candid and detail shots. Her attention to detail was amazing from making sure we got every family photo we had discussed to capturing every special moment at the reception. We were grateful for the time she took to walk through all the details and timeline with us leading up to the big day - it really helped everything run smoothly. Justina's great spirit and ability to make us feel at ease throughout the process resulted in photos that we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend Justina to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer for not only your wedding, but engagement photos as well!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was at least ten years old. Photography has always been something I've been passionate about. I was the friend that captured all the memories in high school. Once I got older, and more interested in this becoming something real, I decided to start my business in 2018. I've had the pleasure of working with the most loving clients ever since.

Kay is absolutely incredible. She’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met and you can tell she just love to capture your memories in the most beautiful way she can. She’s not just some photographer telling you to say cheese and move it along, she’s going to be your friend by the end! We still communicate via social media and she’s just so relatable and kind. I can’t stress enough how huge her heart is and you can tell by the work she puts out. My wedding and engagement photos were stunning. She captured everything from candid to posed with absolute perfection. I got married almost 3 years ago and I still am obsessed with my wedding photos. You will not regret booking Kay. So why are you still reading reviews??? Just BOOK HER ALREADY!!

100/10 recommend her to be your photographer. My husband and I meet Jessica 5 years before we actually ended up setting a date and getting married. Somehow when we finally decided to put a date on the calendar we reached out and Jessica still remembered us like we just talked recently. Working with her has been so easy and smooth sailing. She is crazy organized and very responsive along with an open mind and helped with some accommodations to make our day super special! I will definitely be booking for family sessions and more with her!!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey is one of a kind! We were a bit nervous about the engagement photoshoot and many things went wrong that day, but she managed to calm us down and put us in a right mood! She was there for us and made us enjoy the photoshoot so much. We had a blast! And then when we saw the pictures I almost cried-she captured such genuine moments. She is highly professional, friendly, accommodating, and just a fun person to be around. We loved our photoshoot so much that we ended up booking a wedding with her too! We highly recommend her services!
