E & I

Hire them!!! I am so in awe of how present and inconspicuous Kayla was. Never did I feel like “I wish the photographer was here to capture this” Kayla was somehow in a million places at once but in the most peaceful manner. They were easy to talk to, brought a sense of relaxation, were organized and made sure they captured every shot we wanted. Yes, just yes. To be able to capture the events on film and digitally in such an authentic way is something I will be forever grateful for!
