Kyra Lee Photography

Circle Pines, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

Authentic moments are what set our hearts on fire! We strive to capture you exactly as you are and bring out your personality. Think of us as your best friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet - we are known for dancing with our couples at receptions, snuggling babies to get a few solo pictures of the parents, and becoming lifelong friends with our seniors. We cannot wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.

  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Loved working with Dasha. She was extremely organized and prepared. We met over zoom first to discuss her process and she oriented me well to expectations, she helped me think through the days plan. On the day of she was prompt, flexible, positive. I had a DIY style wedding and there were a lot of moving pieces but Dasha kept up and was so sweet along the way. My fiancé was not super into pictures ever, but she helped us through his awkwardness with it and the pictures looked amazing. I’m so happy with the final pictures I could not recommend her more. Dasha is a consummate professional. I highly, highly recommend her. In a sea of what was many little fires on my wedding day I was able to rely on her. Now that the wedding is done I’m very grateful for the beautiful photos.

I began my photography journey in 2008 and have been shooting ever since! My love of music and travel initially took me to Nashville, where I studied under some of the best celebrity and music photographers in the business. The City of Music lead me to tour with Jesse McCartney and shoot some amazing musicians including Blake Shelton, Outkast, and the Backstreet Boys (a personal childhood dream of mine). However, the mountains were calling (as they say), and I ended up moving back to Colorado, my home state, in 2015 to begin my journey documenting love in all its forms!

We reached out to Will at very short notice to photograph our impromptu Covid-19-impacted outdoor wedding. We got an almost immediate response. He was very cheerful and professional, and enjoyable to have around at the wedding ceremony. We were extremely happy with the results, too. Will managed to capture many sweet moments and details during our celebration, and the quality of the pictures was great. If we got married a second time, we would gladly hire him again!

We help outdoorsy lovers get married in beautiful outdoor venues provided by Mother Nature herself. Our couples have the wedding of their lifetime doing things that matter to them with their closest family and friends. We create inexpensive intimate ceremonies in expansive settings in the woods, river canyons, mountain ridges, deserts, or beaches. We give couples an opportunity to create their own ceremonies and trail-blaze their own traditions as they begin their Forever Endeavor Together. And we document it all with stunning, bold, crystal clear photographs that are a reverie both in nature and love.

Awarded Best of Zola
When My Wiiiiife and I hired Natural Unions, we expected photography. What we Didn't expect was light wedding planning, the ability for The Great Kira: Destroyer of Frowns to be able to help us locate an alternative wedding venue on short notice due to potential weather issues, AND for such exceptional local scouting for the most fantastic locations not only for portraits, but also the ceremony location itself. If you want the same boring overpriced stuff, hire someone else. If you want more fun than you bargained for, and unique lasting snapshots of your special day, hire Natural Unions.

  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA for additional fees

I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

Natalie is an absolutely amazing, fun, and talented photographer and human being. We loved having her!! 10/10 y’all!! She is so talented that she shoots in both film and digital! She was so kind and patient with us throughout the day even though we were running behind and we both had LARGE families that love having photos taken. She was so patient throughout all the iterations of family photos and didn’t rush us at all but also got the day moving. She was calm and she checked in on us to make sure we were ok. When we felt stressed, she assured us everything was going to be alright and that we had time. I can’t stress how huge this was! I think this shows that she’s not just an incredible photographer but also an amazing human being who cares about her clients. And of course beyond that, we LOVE our photos! There are truly TOO Many good ones to choose from. She was absolutely a star and we loved working with her so much. She got the needed family shots but also got some really cool artistic fashion shots too! AND on top of that, photos of details that were honestly very carefully chosen out. And it made us so happy that she caught that and documented it. For example, the tea ceremony teapot and cups were a long adventure to find and hold significance for us. She just does it all folks. She’s amazing and I am so glad we had her for our engagement shoot and our big day. We love you Natalie! Thank you for everything!

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

Chrissy is a dream. She was SO cool, so professional, and really put us all at ease. We initially contracted with Chrissy to photograph our wedding, but when we had to postpone it, we asked her to also photograph the small marriage ceremony we ended up having on that day instead. She was fabulous to work with and her photos captured the low-key, intimate feeling of that day. I particularly love the way she captures small, truly candid moments; and her use of shadow and light. We are so excited to work with her again for our big wedding reception this summer! We recommend her to every couple we know!

Hi there! I'm Brayley, a full-time Traveling Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer who operates primarily in the Western United States, & I would LOVE to be your wedding photographer! 🫶🏼 I grew up & now live in the PNW with my loving spouse & our sweet pup, Forrest, but after doing my undergrad in AZ, I just knew I needed to spend at least part time there, too. I LOVE my work & am passionate about capturing life's precious milestones, & doing so in a way that feels natural & authentic to my clients. Although I love all photography, I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, & business photography with a natural, earthy, classic & candid style.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was the most important day of our lives (thus far). We placed a lot of value in having quality photography for our big day, and Mel did not disappoint! Having Melissa capture our wedding was THE best decision we made when planning our day. Mel is a dream to work with. She brings the talent, insight, boss energy, and the party! She was super easy to coordinate and communicate with and took out the anxiety provoking part of having pictures taken of yourself (and even made it enjoyable!). Her work is incredible and speaks for itself. We were blown away by the final product and are immensely grateful for how these memories were captured. Many of the photos are proudly displayed in our home. We are glad to call Mel a friend and would highly recommend MCP for all your photography needs.

I believe that dogs are the best travel buddies and that plants make the world better and prettier. I believe that perfectly planned photos are awesome, but so is the candid photo of your 90 year old grandmother drinking whiskey with your friends. Your photos are about you, not me. I won't tell you what to do or how to live your best day. What I will tell you is where the best light is, what to expect during your wedding and always get your "good side."

My husband and I can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with Bethany and her husband, Bryan, for our wedding day! From the beginning, Bethany maintained a friendly, welcoming presence and kept great communication. She guided us through the entire process, always ensuring our ideas were heard and our questions were answered. Bethany and Bryan captured our day so beautifully, and made the whole process feel so natural. We’d definitely recommend working with them if you like kind, genuine people that can get the best candid shots! Thank you again Bethany and Bryan!

We loved everything about working with Natalie from start to finish and couldn’t recommend The Finding Co enough! We loved their style as soon as we saw their work and loved that they seemed to capture the details, small moments, and emotion of the day so well. they fully delivered on that! Our wedding day was a bit rainy/misty which seriously limited the spaces where we could shoot group photos. Natalie adapted so quickly to the poor lighting and tight spaces and really embraced the misty atmosphere to create timeless but creative shots. We love our photos SO much and they truly capture not just the aesthetics of the day but the love, fun, and emotion. Natalie and her second shooter Danielle were such a pleasure to have around us the whole day. They were present but still blended into the background seamlessly. You won’t regret working with them!

From the engagement photoshoot we knew right away we absolutely loved Brittney’s energy! She started this session off with giving us some beers! She listened to the vibe we wanted out of our photos and we got just that. She’s super friendly, easy going and delivered us our photos back in a timely manner!!! She even a sent us sneak peek photos the day after our wedding. Every time I look back at our wedding photos now it makes me want to go back and relive that day and that’s exactly what I wanted!

I've been pushing off this review because I just can't find a way to put into words how AMAZING Rob & Lyndi were. Not only were they just all around good people and a pleasure to work with, but they were able to capture some of the best moments of our wedding...SO tough to pick our favorites! I came across Sugar Rush Photo + Video while scrolling through a million different wedding photographer websites and I was sold on their casual/super approachable tone and the great candid shots they featured. My husband and I typically shy away from the camera, but loved the idea of being able to see our guests at their best when they weren't looking. Rob & Lyndi were super responsive the entire time (note: we brought them on with a little over a year to go) and made the whole process easy for us. A lot of people wondered why we were flying our photographers in from Utah, but after the wedding and after looking at the photos, it became clear to everyone. They flew into SF for our outdoor October wedding weekend and it was like we were meeting long lost friends even though we had only exchanged emails. They rocked it at our welcome pig roast and it felt like they were part of the family. That Saturday, they split getting ready duties between two locations, got us ready for a first look in the park before our outdoor ceremony and made each of us look waaaayy better/way more glamorous than we'd ever looked before and captured some great moments with our family. For our formals, we set loose on the city and Lyndi captured what a coworker called the best wedding picture ever in front of the Painted Ladies in Alamo Square Park. We squeezed in a second location before heading into our reception just for fun! We kinda felt like fancy fashion models as we looked through our gallery. The reception was a blast and our guests kept pulling us aside saying how it felt like our photographers were just an extension of our friends and family and that they were just so fun to be around. Rob & Lyndi have such amazing energy and it oozes onto everyone they interact with. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagements (wish we had done that!) and anything else...especially if you're not that comfortable in front of the camera! They make you feel so at ease and like you're laughing with your most inappropriate and hilarious friends. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

I allow myself to be present and listen to the stories unfold throughout the day.

YOU'RE ENGAGED!! Congrats and thanks for stopping by! My name is Jordan Scott, the Owner and Photographer of Wax + Whale Co. Photography! I'm a mama bear to a little guy named Vander Nash! Wife to my best friend of 12 years strong! I love drinking all the coffee, and LOVE! I have been doing photography for several years now and I am absolutely and forever in love with being invited to capture and share those raw intimate moments. The ones most people overlook, whether it's the snuggles, giggles, dancing, or just enjoying each others company. My goal is to capture and display that love and happiness in it's most raw and authentic form!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jordan was in a word fantastic. Her moody beautiful style perfectly matched our fall-themed wedding. She and her second shooter listened to everything we had to say and captured everything important to us. She was also far along in her pregnancy (congrats again Jordan!) at the time and was so communicative and a trooper for us and our wedding. She also was able to get our photos out to us a little earlier than promised. I know that can never be guaranteed but we were so freaking excited when the link hit our inbox early! We immediately ordered several prints to hang in our home because we are so happy with them. All in all, super professional, personable, knowledgeable, and very committed to her passion. I would hire her ten times over and you won't regret it either.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are wondering if you need Cynthia a part of your wedding team as your photographer, read this. My fiancé and I paid for our wedding, so we were very intentional about where and how much money we allocated to each vendor. Hiring Cynthia was the best decision we made in choosing our vendors. This review would be too long for anyone to read if I listed all of the amazing ways she served us well throughout the planning process and wedding day. Cynthia is incredibly smart, professional, organized, and resourceful. I can not give enough praise to the level of skill she brings to wedding photography. Cynthia and Kenny beautifully captured our wedding day in a way I didn’t know was possible. The day goes by fast, and I feel like we missed so much because it happened so fast. I can’t tell you how grateful my fiancé and I are to have Cynthia’s photos to cherish and reminisce with. Not only are they stunning pieces of art, but I feel like they are moments of pure joy and celebration captured for us to revisit and cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are wondering if you should choose Cynthia, do yourself a favor and hire her. You will enjoy the benefits of that decision the rest of your life. Have I mentioned she is just a delight to have around?! You know this if you have already talked to her, but I looked forward to all our planning calls and meetings, and, from the moment we met to our wedding day, she truly became a friend that I trust completely and I believe she deeply cares for John and I. She did everything possible to make our wedding day absolutely perfect, and she succeeded.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

This is the part where we tell you: ‘we are strictly documentary style photographers’. Or that we only edit a certain way. Or that we only shoot under certain conditions. But we don’t work that way. We believe that a good photographer isn’t just documentary, or editorial, or candid. We believe a good photographer is ALL of those things, and knows how to read a room, an environment, and a moment to know how best to capture it. And that’s what we try to do. Capture every moment, to the best of our ability.

You can’t go wrong booking with Kayti. She is so good at what she does, you will not be let down. If you’re needing engagement photos, wedding photos, graduation photos, whatever it is, she’s your girl. I say all this but her works speaks for itself!

Hey! I'm Chris. I've been a full time Wedding Photographer for 10 years now, done the Alaska Heli Elopements, done the Mexico resort weddings, done all the things in between. I've won some awards. Blah blah blah. I'VE DONE ALL THE THINGS.

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris made the entire process so easy for us. We are not big on posing for pictures, we both would much rather enjoy the moment and be with people we love and from the very beginning Chris was great at helping us to achieve this. We officially met Chris about a year out from our wedding at our engagement session and we had the best time and the pictures were incredible. He guided us through the next steps with the wedding and prepped us for everything. I am not much of a planner so this was so appreciated. Our wedding day went so so smoothly and the pictures just helped recapture the love and fun we felt that day. We couldn't be more grateful to him for catching all of these moments so we can feel the same way we did on our wedding day everytime we look at them.

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan is amazing! She is professional, super sweet, and a pleasure to work with. She was willing to help with anything to make the day go perfect-from fixing my lip liner to bustling my dress she is all hands on deck and makes it happen! Not to mention her photos are unreal!

Hi, I’m Marla, and I’ve had a camera in my hands since I could hold one. Travel is what first sparked my love of photography– I felt the need to document every gorgeous landscape in my sights across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and here in the States. Once I started taking portraits, though, everything shifted, and I became obsessed with documenting love. I value photos as memories, and they’re extremely precious to me. To me, the ability to freeze a moment in time so you’ll always be able to return to that beauty and joy is nothing short of magic.

She is precious and perfect and excellent at what she does. My wife and I happened upon Marla’s work when she first moved to Seattle in our hunt for queer friendly photographers. From the first moment we spoke we knew we’d be in good hands. Working with Marla felt like hanging out with a friend. We love her and you will love her too. We didn’t absorb that she specialized in elopement photography when we found her, but clearly she’s versatile because our photos are gorgeous! As people who aren’t used to being photographed professionally, Marla gave great direction when we needed it and caught a million beautiful candid moments. She forgot her coat in her fiancés car and did not complain or act chilly even though her nose and cheeks were turning red (don’t worry, we shared our jackets with her haha). Our guests also raved about her!!! She’s lovely and talented; she will make you feel comfortable and encouraged and beautiful.

Alanna was incredibly personable, very easy-going, and flexible with our timeline on our big day. Our photos turned out amazing and she got them to us so much sooner than expected.

Hi, I'm Tyler a professional photographer based in the SF Bay Area. I've been shooting portraits since 2009, when I visited Tibet with my dad on my middle school graduation trip. Ever since then, I've loved taking photos of people. Over the years I've developed my own style of photography to convey the feeling of the moment into my photos. My goal is to always create images that will stand the test of time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tyler was truly a gift to have as part of our wedding. He very carefully, and effectively, cultivated perfect settings for photographs that didn’t feel cheesy. He really understood the importance of angles and worked hard to find each of our best. Really, so so many of his photographs ended up breathtaking. If I were to do it all over again, I would have Tyler by my side to document my momentous day!

I met Haley and Camden through a friend who had also booked them for their wedding. We booked them for both engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be more happy with their services. Having a married couple team as photographers was everything, as they made us feel super comfortable and they were able to direct us throughout the sessions in a way that I think a solo photographer would not be able to do. They went above and beyond and I’m so happy we chose them!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations!

Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion.

Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange.

I'm Sydney and I own Sydney Marie Photography out of Grand Haven, Michigan. I I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and have photographed over 200 weddings from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland and everywhere between. I started in photography in 2008 and travel all over Michigan for weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!
