You want a wedding that feels like you—fun, full of love, and unforgettable in all the best ways. You want to live every moment, not miss it all posing for a million photos.
I’m Kendal—a wedding and family photographer based in the heart of the Midwest, chasing love stories wherever they lead. I believe photography should make you feel something—transport you back to the laughter, the happy tears, the way it all felt. Not just how it looked. My approach is about real moments, not endless forced poses—so you can stay present and actually live your day.

“Not only is she exceptionally kind, but she is also an outstanding photographer. She took the photos for my wedding, and they were gorgeous. Kendal took the time to get to know my husband and me and curated a beautiful album. I cannot express how thankful I am to have worked with her.”
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a tattooed mom of two, mid-life cat convert, patio-drink enthusiast, retired party girl, and occasional over-swearer who finds joy in everyday magic and a perfectly timed candid.
The chaos, the belly laughs, the happy tears, sneaky cuddles, inside jokes, and that wild, fierce love you share. My goal? To give you photos that don’t just look good—they hit you right in the feels. Honest, bold, and real images that celebrate the love at your core.
