Your energy is contagious — perhaps you’re too close to see it. And since you’re throwing a celebration to the nines, I don’t want you to miss the glow radiating from you as you commit your life to each other.
Or miss the creative genius between the blooms and stationery and tablescapes you’ll so brilliantly dream up together. (I’ve already styled the flatlays in my head.)
But even then, your kind of love is laid-back and comes naturally. In every directed and candid shot I take throughout your wedding, I strive to photograph it that way.

... like me
I’ve dabbled with almost every artistic medium — painting, pinning street style inspo from Vogue, landing a well-placed joke mid-conversation — but a camera in my hands is a swirl of them all.
I’m also a floral enthusiast by the way, and I deem being a wallflower through your playful banter the highest honor there is.
From quick wit to subtle cues, I chase natural light and prompt you to show up exactly as you are (while unbeknownst to you, harnessing your inner model). No deadpan looks at the camera of any sort as long as I can help it.
When all is said and done though, and I think about this often, I want the moments we captured on your wedding day to live on forever. That’s every artist's dream right there. And I’ll tell you from experience, there’s no feeling like it.
Film and Digital Photographer who serves Dallas, TX & Austin couples
Hi, I'm Kaylee James
A few more things about me …
My photography style takes its cue from high-fashion and I love conveying a wedding story like a piece from Vogue (or Vanity Fair, if that’s your preference). A Vera Wang dress on your mood board = immediate brownie points.
EDITORIAL INFLUENCE
I live for flowy bouquets, overgrown arches, compote centerpieces, botanical motifs, and anything that says “sophisticated garden party.” In another life, I’d be a florist, for sure.
FAV WEDDING AESTHETIC
Film has taught me the art of slowing down with every shot I take. I’ll pick up my digital camera when the time calls for it, but the true tones and color quality of film are simply unmatched.
FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
Though my husband and I travel often, Carmel, CA has our hearts. Everyone lives in these fairytale seafront cottages and the best breakfast spots are within walking distance. It’s a bucket list getaway you won’t regret.
TRAVEL
I share residence with my high school sweetheart (married for 3 years together for 9), Alaska, our dog (named after John Green’s book ‘Looking for Alaska’), and our cat named Meow — because that’s all she does.
