I can not begin to describe how happy my husband and I are with Kyle! I came across his website randomly through the help of a good friend who is currently going to school where he got his degree from! The second I saw his site and all the pictures on it I fell in love. I loved his documentary style of photography. It shows true emotions and gives a sense to realism that most photographs lack. This is what we wanted for our big day!
Getting in touch with Kyle was very easy! He is great about responding to emails and setting up phone conversations/meetings. With our wedding being in Miami I was worried about the fact that he had to travel. Kyle assured us that he loves to travel, loves to be challenged with new scenary and enjoys meeting new people and cultures. These were exactly the points we wanted to hear and he followed through with all he said!
I highly recommend also using the photobooth! Kyle is the only photographer that I have met/seen that uses this type of photobooth with high tech camera. It's a great addition to any party and really adds another set of pictures and life to the party you cant even imagine!!
Kyle loved the mix of cultures and party atmosphere at our wedding and we enjoyed having his enthusiam. I recommend that any one in the Miami area look him up! We compared his prices and packages to many of the other Miami photographers and Kyle's came out on top each time!!
Thanks again Kyle for making our day so special, I hope one day in the future we can work together again : )
~Love Alexandra and...

I would highly recommend Kyle as a wedding photographer. We appreciated many things about working with Kyle from the initial planning phases to the day of the wedding. Prior to booking, we were surprised with how candid Kyle was, even providing recommendations about choosing a photographer. Although lighting, image composition and quality of the photographs were important to us and were many of the reasons we chose Kyle, we also were trying to blend that with budget considerations as well as finding a photographer who we were confident in and were comfortable with. Ultimately when it came down to price, Kyle was not the most economically priced photographer we looked at, but we were willing to pay a bit more for the intangibles. We were confident with his expertise and experience. My husband and I didn’t feel like we had to manage him the day of the wedding to ensure he was taking photos that we wanted, but also we knew that he was getting shots that were great given his photographer's eye. And, one of the things that was most important to us was that we felt comfortable in working with him. We were able to be natural around him eventhough both my husband and I don’t love having our pictures taken. It resulted in pictures that we actually look natural in. To wrap up, the images that we just got back from Kyle are a wonderful blend of the traditional wedding shots we needed to have with our families, bridal party, and guests, and fantastic photo-journalistic and artistic style shots that will help us remember how special our wedding day was – and that’s exactly what we wanted and received from Kyle.

I am a photographer, so I planned my entire wedding around photography. Hiring Kyle was instant peace of mind on my wedding day. He is nothing short of INCREDIBLE. He put me at ease the entire day (not an easy task), was a blast to work with and did a phenomenal job. We got compliments from our guests on his service and professionalism at the reception before anyone had ever seen a single shot. We even did a day after session downtown Chicago that was a ton of fun. The photos turned out gorgeous! The fact that I don't mind that I am in them is proof that he worked a miracle. My cousin keeps telling me the photos look straight out of a bridal magazine.
As for value, I had researched a ton of Chicago area photographers prior to begging Kyle to come up for the wedding. To get the quality of images he gave me, I would have paid double. Frankly, he needs to charge double so book him before he catches on!
I would recommend him to everyone. He is professional but laid back, didn't miss a thing. Hiring Kyle was the second best choice I made on my wedding day (the first being the...

Being a photographer myself I knew I was going to hold my wedding photographer to very high standards, Kyle met and surpassed those standards! My husband and I were so incredibly pleased with what Kyle captured on our wedding day! His photojournalistic approach to wedding photography is the best possible approach I feel a photographer can have! To be able to capture the emotions and details of that day is what the couple wants most!! And that's exactly what Kyle did! And not only is he an excellent photojournalist but he is professional and a joy to be around! You can really tell he loves what he does! We cannot say enough about how blessed we were to have Kyle there on our wedding day!

Kyle is very personable, professional, and on top of not only his photographs, but also with contacting you back with any questions you may have. He travels a lot, but he was always in contact with me through email, or phone. He has a great personality, very flexible, and captures every moment. When I got my photos back, I was amazed, and so was my family. We all thought the photos were just absolutely beautiful. He did not miss one moment and he did his best to capture the "little things" such as emotions from my fathers face when he first saw me in my dress. kyle will not disappoint you, he is very serious with his work and will do all he can to provide 5 star service. Very highly recommended!

We couldn't have asked for anything more from Kyle for our wedding photography! His photojournalist style was exactly what we were looking for. Kyle was in the background taking pictures throughout our entire wedding weekend. While he was constantly there, he was never in the way and was able to capture some amazing moments. He worked consistently during our reception, I never really saw him without his camera. Some of my favorite pictures from the reception were taken at the end of the evening when everyone was just dancing and having fun. It's hard to say who enjoyed him more, me and my husband or our friends and family! Kyle is so laid back and easy going that he blended right into our group of friends, becoming one of them. Both sets of parents commented on how easy Kyle was to work with. He was great with all the family members when we were doing family portraits. We would recommend Kyle to anyone looking for fabulous photography for their wedding!

Working with Kyle was fantastic! We are so glad we chose a photojournalist, specifically Kyle, to shoot our wedding in Jefferson City, MO. When we look back at the pictures, we really can re-live our wedding day. He caught so many wonderful small moments that would've been forgotten in the chaos of the day. He was very professional and great with communication. His prices were great compared to other photographers we had contacted. He spent the entire day with us, starting late morning at the salon until almost the next day when the reception ended. Some of our favorite photos are from the end of the night when most of the guests had left and my husband and I were able to finally focus on eachother!
Oh, and the prices on prints, digital files and albums were very reasonable.

I got married in Newport, Rhode Island and was lucky enough to find Kyle. He is such a talented, experienced and creative photographer. He was able to incorporate his photojournalism style with our personal taste and personality. He truly has the rare ability to capture all the special moments without ever being intrusive or in the way. He was not there to push his own style agenda, but rather he was able to blend his style and vision with ours perfectly. He shot all of our wedding events, which included a welcome sail boat trip for our guests, the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Overall, Kyle is an amazing photographer, and so easy to work with. I am so thrilled to have entrusted Kyle with making these memories for us. He not only captured every detail perfectly, he somehow captured the essence of that day and I am very thankful for that. Plus, he created an environment that made it easy for us to be ourselves and stay calm through out the day.

It was such a pleasure having Kyle shoot my bridal portraits and our wedding. He has a delightful personality and is fun to be around. He worked hard all night. I didn't even see him take a break. His work is just amazing and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Look no further, just use him.

Kyle was perfect for our wedding and engagement photos. We love his style. He was open to anything we suggested and any locations - even helping me in and out of a tree and organizing pictures for my father who is handicapped. Kyle and his assistant stayed through our entire reception and even came with us after to take late night city photos down town. All our guests kept telling us (after the wedding) that they were impressed that Kyle seemed in the right spot at the right time and didn't miss a single thing. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Our experience with Kyle was wonderful! He was very responsive throughout our entire experience. I love the engagement and wedding photos he captured for us- they were creative and beautiful! He made us feel comfortable during the shoots which I feel contributed to the organic moments he was able to capture. Also, I absolutely LOVE the album he put together for us.

My initial first impression of Kyle was great. I was convinced within the first 15 minutes that I knew I wanted him to photograph our wedding. His ideas and his eye for uniqueness really stood out and thats exactly what I was looking for. He was able to capture every moment of our wedding day and then some ! The pictures turned out beautifully and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

If you are looking for just a wedding photographer, Kyle isn't the photographer for you. If you are looking for an artist who captures the essence of your day and the special bond between you and your loved one in those few fleeting moments, Kyle is the best person you can hire on your wedding day. It doesn't matter if the flowers wilt or there is rain, he captures the best parts of each moment with his amazing eye for a great shot. Don't be afraid to try something new - it is what he thrives on. And his work speaks for itself.

Wedding: 8/29/09
My wife and I were very stressed about choosing a photographer for our all day wedding and Kyle turned out to be better than we imagined. Not only did he make both of us comfortable and proud of all our photos, but he gave us genuinely unique photos and made the entire process painless. We always found him relaxed, but focused when talking about what we wanted and was patient with us when we didn't know. Not to mention, he is a master at dodging overzealous relatives with video cameras and still getting an amazing picture. We highly recommend him and his artistic work, especially if you can give him some freedom to improve upon your wants and expectations.

The best thing about Kyle is that he always is looking for a way to improve the experience and the product for the bride and groom, whether that means finding the perfect and unique photo or making things more comfortable for the couple. He gets it, and he takes pride in his work, so you know you're getting a quality product. He also was everything else you want in your photographer: professional, accountable and timely, even with the added complexity of having our wedding abroad, in London. He was flexible and reliable anyway. I would recommend Kyle to anyone.

Kyle is an amazing photographer! The pictures truly captured our big day in such a beautiful manner. He came to Columbia from Texas at no charge and knew all the right angles and lighting for close ups. Perfect.
