Dear June Weddings
CONSIDER THIS MY MANIFESTO
Your wedding day moves fast and stands still at the same time. You'll feel everything and remember pieces of it.
Every bit of it matters.
The quiet, authentic moments. The look across the room. The hand on your back. And the ones placed with more intention. Because nearly 15 years behind this lens teaches you what the light does at 6pm in the Tetons and where to place you so the frame does the work. When to step back. When to step in.
A documentary eye blended with editorial intention. Technically precise and creatively alive. Your images will feel like how it felt and look as beautiful as it was.
But what makes every wedding different is you.
Your story, your people, your personality. Your day kept front of mind from the moment planning begins to the final image delivered. No two weddings look the same. Your coverage is a fingerprint. Completely yours, completely unrepeatable.
What you can count on is consistency. Nearly 15 years of knowing what works, what lasts, and what you'll want on your wall in twenty years. The style is dependable. The story is only ever yours.
The grand, artful images that belong on your wall and look straight out of a magazine. Those are part of it.
But so is everything in between.
The wind in your hair. The laughter you didn't know was captured. The sweet, happy tear. The way the light moved across the room.
Those are the moments that give the big, beautiful ones meaning. The story within the stillness.

STYLE
Natural and timeless, blending a documentary feel with a touch of editorial direction to create photographs that feel real, intentional, and full of life.
Fine art and real life, guided by light, story, and connection.
EXPERIENCE
From the first message to the final gallery, this is a personal process. Kayla is your point of contact through planning, your lead photographer on the day, and the person processing your images.
Built on trust, communication, and intention. From the first conversation to the final gallery, every detail is handled so the only thing left to do is be present.
CLIENTELE
Couples who care about meaning as much as beauty. Who trade the noise for open skies and want a day that feels intentional, effortless, and completely their own. Who value quiet luxury, real connection, and an experience that feels as good as it looks.
Typically working alongside planners and creative teams for fully curated celebrations, and occasionally with intimate gatherings where every detail still matters deeply.
If your day is being thoughtfully planned, we're a great fit.
BEFORE THE WEDDING
This is where the foundation gets built. Timelines are mapped, light is considered, and every creative detail is discussed. Working directly with your planner or coordinating alongside your vendor team, the goal is simple: you arrive on your wedding day prepared, confident, and ready to be present and take it all in.
An engagement session is available for those who want it. Additional coverage for welcome dinners, rehearsals, and surrounding events is available as well.
THE WEDDING DAY
The planning pays off here. Kayla leads every wedding, guiding when needed and stepping back when the moment calls for it. An associate photographer is available for fuller days and expanded coverage. You move through the day feeling held, not managed; knowing every part of it is being kept with care and intention.
AFTER THE WEDDING
Within 10 days, a sneak peek arrives. Your full gallery follows; elopements within 3-4 weeks, full day coverage within 6 to 8 weeks depending on scope. Every image delivered through a beautiful online gallery with direct print ordering, a favorites feature for easy album and wall art selections, and everything made to live beyond a screen. Optional albums and print collections available to complete the story.

TRAVEL / DESTINATION
Home base is one of the most photographed places on earth for good reason. Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, Swan Valley, Driggs, Victor, Island Park; wild beauty and meaningful moments around every corner.
Most of the work lives here in the mountains. A limited number of destination weddings and travel sessions are taken each year, with the most flexibility between November and March.
Whether you're coming to the Tetons or bringing Dear June somewhere new, every story receives the same intention, care, and artistry.
Always worth asking.

The Heart Behind the Lens
What began in 2013 as a solo act with a deep love for mountain weddings has grown into something more intentional. Over a decade of photographing love stories across Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and the mountain West. The approach has always stayed the same. Calm direction. Clean composition. True-to-color imagery that feels timeless and real.
As Dear June evolved, so did the vision. A small team of trusted photographers, each trained in the same process and held to the same standard. The eye doesn't change. The care doesn't change. The story does — because every couple brings their own.
This work has always been more than documentation. It is storykeeping. Preserving the life being built together in images that will matter long after the day is gone.
Serving Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, Teton Valley, Driggs, Victor, Tetonia, Swan Valley, and beyond.
