Melissa & John's Custom Wedding Photography Proposal
FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 2027 | WASHINGTON DC
I’m so glad you’re here!
It's an honor to be considered to photograph your upcoming wedding. I can envision it now: a joyful spring day with your family and friends surrounding you and celebrating your unique love story.
It's important to have a photographer you can fully trust on your wedding day. You'll need a team who:
- Documents authenticity by having a keen eye for in-between moments
- Seamlessly captures you and your people with a thoughtful style and approach
- Fosters the importance of meaningful moments in every photo
Melissa & John,
and a photographer who can capture the essence and significance of your day with truth and with heart.
You deserve a photography experience designed around you and your memories.
"When you choose Kiyah, you're not only choosing an incredibly talented photographer that will perfectly capture your day, but someone who infuses every aspect of her work with intention, authenticity, and presence."
- JENELLE & MARTYN
KIND WORDS
A LASTING LEGACY
I believe that a photograph doesn't become a memory until you've held it in your hands. I'm passionate about you experiencing the beauty of tangible memories through albums, print boxes, and more.
Rather than repeating stiff, cookie cutter poses, I focus on moments that uniquely reflect your genuine interactions without feeling like it's a day-long photoshoot.
EXPERIENCED & EMPATHETIC
There's no loud personas or bossy personalities on my team. We subtly document the day with a gentle yet confident perspective without interrupting your moments.

We aim to go beyond just wedding day and engagement session coverage by specializing in documenting your entire weekend from rehearsal dinner to farewell brunch. By connecting with your loved ones outside of the pressure of the big day, we are able to document all of the moments more effectively and naturally.
FULL WEEKEND COVERAGE
With all of the hustle and bustle on a wedding day, you'll need a discerning artistic eye to anticipate and capture the in-between moments that matter. I use a photojournalistic approach rooted in capturing candid moments and authentic interactions as they naturally unfold. So, your images reflect the true experience of your wedding instead of replicating others.
authenticity over perfection
Having photographed weddings for ten years, I've learned the delicate balance of offering advice without taking over. By working seamlessly with you and your vendor team, we will create a timeline that accommodates your most important moments, resulting in photos that make you look and feel amazing.
seamless experience
Don't you want your wedding photos to actually look like you? Instead of relying solely on trendy digital presets to edit your images, we incorporate analog film as a primary medium. This ensures consistent colors that accurately portray the hues of your skin tones and design choices.
true-to-life imagery
Best described as a calm and reassuring presence on the wedding day, I subtly document your day with a gentle yet confident photojournalist-inspired perspective. This helps you feels at ease and relieved that your photographer understands when and how to direct photos without interrupting your experience.
calm presence
"kiyah never made taking pictures feel like a chore. She didn't impact the day with needing to take more pictures, which we loved."
-meagan & jacob
That's why twelve years and 100+ weddings ago, I decided to help couples and their loved ones fully enjoy the experience of being photographed on their wedding day as much as they love reliving every moment again for years to come.
I promise creative, authentic photos that celebrate connection & emotion.
hi, i'm kiyah.
