"Kayla and Zoey are an amazing duo who gave us a world-class experience...
From the get go, Kayla was super responsive through email and social media, which was great given the timeframe. Kayla kept Kayla and Zoey were accommodating and worked out a package that fit into our budget without compromising too much of the coverage we wanted. Kayla kept in regular contact throughout the process and I was never lost or confused. Overall, their customer experience is amazing and they are so supportive from start to finish.
On the day-of, Kayla and Zoey were punctual and communicative. I had the pleasure of having Kayla filming my bridal prep, and my husband had Zoey for groom prep. Both of them were incredibly nice and comfortable to be around. When it was time to start capturing moments, my husband appreciated how professional Zoey was and noted that she knew exactly how to capture the important moments, especially between my husband and his mother. Kayla was incredible to work with and felt like part of our girl group over at the bridal prep. She managed to fade into the background at moments and give us space to enjoy our time together, but popped in at perfect moments to guide shots we may not have thought of. We found out after getting photos back that both Kayla and Zoey had staged various photos of our rings and other details which were so lovely and wouldn't have crossed our minds to ask for.
At the actual wedding site, Kayla and Zoey worked together to capture everything. They really went the extra mile to make sure our day was represented as lovely and romantic as it felt for us as a couple. They even stayed a little longer than planned to get some final photos of our guests which we really appreciated.
All in all, I cannot recommend Kayla and Zoey enough.T hey made us feel so special and honored our day. They are also very socially aware and that was reflected in their work. Kayla made sure to get the important moments of my mom doing my hair, which is very significant ritual as a Black woman, and she had so many ideas for creating my princess-like experience while working around a broken ankle, crutches and bandages and all. I was very impressed that the quality of editing also avoided washing out all the brown skin tones.
Everything truly was a dream. I have no notes. Hire them!"
