E & M Cabo Wedding

What I didn't realize was that we were getting SO MUCH more than just a photographer.

After securing our venue in Mexico, securing Kami as our photographer was an easy and immediate next step, having known her since high school and always loving her work as seen through social media. What I didn't realize was that we were getting SO MUCH more than just a photographer. Kami is your voice of reason, HYPE woman (this is an understatement), comedian, FRIEND, and 10000% the kind of person you want to be a part of your big day. And literally all days...she is that cool. What many brides-to-be don't realize (me included), are that the photographs themselves are only ONE factor to take into consideration when selecting a photographer. You spend literally HOURS with your photographer on the biggest day of your life, through all the emotional, intimate, exciting and special moments. Having Kami with us during these moments was easily, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, if not the best. Let alone, her photographs are absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!! We appreciated so much getting a few sneak peaks just ONE week following our wedding - OMG!! We had so many guests at our wedding approach us during and afterwards saying how much they loved our photographer. For Kami to make an impression on guests, even ones that weren't in the wedding party, really just shows how unbelievable Kami was. BRIDES, there are so many stressful and difficult decisions to make throughout this process... hiring Kami should not be one of them. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU KAMI!!!!!!!!!!!

She's so good at keeping you laughing - you honestly forget she's taking your picture.

Kami is SO INCREDIBLY GOOD at her job. She seriously blew us away. We were, admittedly, not looking forward to the picture taking aspect of our wedding. But it turned out to honestly be one of the most fun parts. We did an engagement shoot with Kami too, and from the first picture she made us feel super relaxed. She's a magician. She's so good at keeping you laughing - you honestly forget she's taking your picture. It never felt staged or posed - just natural and fun! It feels like you’re hanging out with a friend that happens to have a camera. This makes for the most fun and happy pictures that perfectly capture the energy/emotions of the wedding day/weekend. We cannot imagine our wedding without her. SERIOUSLY SHE IS THE BEST.

She understood who we are as a couple and what we wanted, and delivered beyond our expectations

OMG.. where do I even begin with Kami? She is a FORCE and has an energy you have to witness to understand. She's a dream wedding vendor (but let's be real, she's more than just a vendor). Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was the most important thing to us and I remember when I first started searching, I had trouble finding someone who seemed like the perfect fit. I happened to come across her IG one day and BOOM! I just knew I found the right person. I reached out and we booked her at the end of 2019 for our would-be November 2020 wedding.. then Covid happened. We postponed twice with her and she was SO accommodating and worked with us to figure out a solution each time. She didn't have to do this and it didn't go unnoticed. She truly wants to help and be there for her couples!

We had an engagement sesh with her in February of 2022, which I highly recommend. My husband and I were kind of clueless on how to pose in engagement photos, but she's such a pro and makes you feel so comfortable. It was a super fun experience that resulted in some of our favorite photos of us ever. It also gives you practice for the big day! On our wedding day, she arrived right on time while I was getting my hair/makeup done and her energy filled the room. After the wedding, I had family members telling me how amazing she is at her job and that they could tell she REALLY loves what she does. I still have people telling me how much they adored her!

I honestly believe that Kami is the best wedding photographer out there. Yes, she's an amazing person, but also an amazingly talented photographer! She's so good at what she does, it's incredible to watch. She's creative and thinks of cool ideas - our wedding photos are art and I want to frame them all! She understood who we are as a couple and what we wanted, and delivered beyond our expectations. She has this wonderful balance of professionalism and being SO FUN! She would always respond to my emails quickly (even in her busiest season). She also has a vast knowledge of the wedding industry and knows exactly what she's doing and what needs to be done.

We didn't hire a videographer (which I went back and forth regretting), but I don't think it matters with how many photos we got back. The day was captured perfectly and beautifully - I'm so grateful and happy! It was a blast to look through all of the photos and we will cherish them forever. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KAMI!

The second you meet her you will feel so comfortable- like one of your friends is taking your pictures.

Kami truly is the BEST! Not only are her photographing skills unmatched, her warm and outgoing personality makes you feel SO comfortable about having your photos taken! We hired Kami for our engagement photos and for our wedding day. I was a bit nervous at first because I didn't want to come off as awkward, silly, or cheesy. The second you meet her you will feel so comfortable- like one of your friends is taking your pictures, not someone you've just met! Not only that, Kami made the planning process of hiring other vendors, such as our videographer, makeup, hair (and any other vendors you might need) so easy! She provided us with recommendations for vendors (all who were AMAZING!) along with a suggested timeline to help keep us organized. She is a true PRO!!! I trusted her with everything and am so glad I did. She knows what she is doing and I could go about my wedding day knowing she would capture every little thing perfectly!

she went ABOVE and BEYOND her duties as a photographer.

Our one year anniversary is fast approaching so I guess there is no better time to write this review! Kami is literally the entirety of what everyone has already written and more. Her images are insane - the magazine worthy kind, and she has a glittering, bubbly, one of a kind personality which is super important if you have a curmudgeonly husband who hates photos (like mine). From a business perspective, she’s a pro - super organized and knowledgeable about weddings and has a great network of vendors in the area. What stood out the most for us about Kami is probably different than other couples experiences, but worthy of explaining. We got married during the pandemic and she went ABOVE and BEYOND her duties as a photographer. She checked in on us without being pushy, was flexible when our plans changed, was patient when we didn’t have a plan, helpful when we were searching for a new venue, and showed genuine care and concern throughout the whole year. She was the one consistent vendor who rode an emotional rollercoaster with us from our exciting engagement photos in Jan 2020, to our dispiriting wedding postponement in May 2020, to our small and joyful pandemic wedding in Nov 2020. I actually don’t know how we could have done any of it without her and we will forever be grateful she was along for that ride. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer - she’s the one. 10 stars and the moon!

she was a rockstar and went above and beyond to make sure each session we had with her was fun, memorable, and effortless.

On a scale of 1-10, Kami scores a 10,000! Even on our first zoom call with her we could feel her positive energy, excitement, and passion for her craft, and we knew we had to book her. Although we originally booked just for the wedding, we added on an engagement session as a practice run for the wedding. Kami immediately brightened up a grey cloudy day and made the session effortless and fun, and eliminated our camera-shyness. We were so pleased with the whole experience, and were BLOWN AWAY when the photos arrived! They were so bright and dynamic and they brilliantly captured the day! She brought the same magic and bright energy again and again with our following elopement session and finally on our big wedding day. Organized and flexible, she was a rockstar and went above and beyond to make sure each session we had with her was fun, memorable, and effortless.

We never felt like we were under the scope of a lens the whole day -- it just felt like we had another friend to party with!

If you want to have an absolute fabulous time and truly enjoy getting your photos taken, Kami is your girl!!! I first noticed how sunny, bubbly, and happy everyone looked in her photos and now I fully understand why. Kami is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is the ultimate hype person and ensures that she captures the bright, happy mood of the moment. Kami also provides a wealth of useful information and is always there to answer any questions you have, whether it’s related to photography or any other wedding-related concerns. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kami for both our engagement photos and the wedding. We had never done a photoshoot together and Kami made sure we both felt comfortable, natural, and most of all, had fun with it! She gave us direction when needed, but really just let us be ourselves and laugh our way through it. The photos were better than either of us could have ever imagined -- great framing and the editing was on point. After the engagement session, we were even more stoked and ready to have Kami by our side to capture the magic of the big day. Her positivity and warm personality brought an energy like no other that made us feel like superstars. We never felt like we were under the scope of a lens the whole day -- it just felt like we had another friend to party with! (:
