I'm kayleen
I’m a wedding photographer specializing in documentary imagery with an editorial eye. I split my time between New York, California, and Texas working with couples across the U.S. and beyond who care about a meaningful, well-paced experience - not just beautiful photos.
I picked up a camera and immediately knew this was it. Within months of going full-time, my work landed on the cover of a Hollywood magazine, and since then it’s been featured in publications like Here Comes the Guide, Wed Society, Wed Vibes, and D Best.
I’ve photographed over 100 weddings, always with a focus on storytelling that feels true to the couple in front of me. My approach blends intentional portraiture with the honest, in-between moments that hold the day’s real emotion.
Whether your wedding is set in the city, along the coast, or in a timeless venue filled with meaning, I bring a calm, thoughtful presence - and a deep respect for the energy, design, and story behind it all.

Every couple has a vision - even if it’s just a feeling. My aim is to help bring that vision into focus, guiding the process with care and clarity from the very beginning.
I take time to understand your story and what matters most to you, tailoring my approach to match. That means knowing when to step in with direction - and when to simply observe and let the moment unfold.
The result is imagery that feels elevated, personal, and grounded - a visual record of your day that’s both artistic and true.
A collaborative experience to create together
