About Black Pepper Photography

Chayil (Kyle)

Head Photographer

Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.

My focus will always be on you. Your wedding day is not a photo shoot, but a celebration of a lifelong commitment to one another. My wish is to let your love story be at the forefront of our work together. I specialize in all things bright, colorful, and candid. "In the moment" is my specialty, with an emphasis on the real moments of your day. One of my brides told me, "You take pictures the way my brain sees the world," and there is no greater joy for me than documenting such priceless moments.

    Black Pepper Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fantastic - they were timely, professional, and personal, with an enthusiastic approach that made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of their work was simply stunning, with breathtaking, extraordinary, and timeless photos that captured every precious moment of our special day. Chayil, our photographer, took charge to help manage the multiple people in our wedding party and family when we were feeling overwhelmed, and executed our photography needs flawlessly. She was super friendly and funny to work with, making our day exciting and memorable. Chayil is a wonderful person who really dedicates herself to your special day and stops at nothing to capture exactly what you want. She's a true life photographer who captures every life milestone in photographs that will last a lifetime. Chayil was also incredibly supportive and willing to work with whatever we asked of her - she was honestly such an amazing guest and vendor, even getting people out on the dance floor and making everyone smile and laugh all night long. Everyone who attended our wedding still tells me how great Chayil was and how lucky we were to have her with us and capturing our special day.

    Chayil moves through a wedding like an artist painting a masterpiece—effortlessly, passionately, and with an eye for the details that most of us would never think to notice. She creates a space where couples feel like themselves, guests feel celebrated, and, honestly, where I can just breathe because I know everything is being captured perfectly. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism with genuine warmth and creativity, but Chayil does it every single time. She’s more than a vendor to me. She’s a partner in making magic and bringing dreams to life. If you’re looking for someone who will turn your wedding memories into art, look no further.

    Black Pepper Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From our initial consultation to the delivery of our final photos, their communication was always in-depth, clear, and consistent. The quality of their work was exceptional - they captured beautiful, natural shots that truly reflected the joy and emotion of our special day. They were a pleasure to work with, expertly managing the large group of family and friends to ensure we got all the photos we wanted. We couldn't be happier with the stunning photos that will help us relive our wedding day for years to come. Highly recommend Black Pepper Photography!
