Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

“Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.”

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them!

She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.”

On the wedding day, my approach is both joyful and intentional. I’m there to celebrate alongside you, notice the quiet in-between moments, and create a calm, seamless experience so you can stay fully present from start to finish.

We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!”

Hi, I’m Avery! I’m a wedding and couples photographer who believes the best photos are the ones that feel like you — the quiet moments, the happy tears, the uncontrollable laughs, and all the little in-between moments you might not even realize are happening. My approach is documentary-inspired, intentional, and true to color. I want you to feel comfortable in front of my camera and, more importantly, to actually enjoy your wedding day instead of spending it worrying about photos. I’m here to capture the whole story — not just the perfectly posed moments, but the messy, emotional, joyful, completely you ones too.

“Avery is a phenomenal photographer and wonderful person. We had a small wedding ceremony up north that she shot and captured perfectly, documenting all of the love that showed up for us and between us on our special day. She’s very sweet and fits in seamlessly while also being able to direct everyone well in order to ensure you get the shots you wanted. She is creative and shows up with fun ideas for bonus shots as well. We would recommend Avery as the photographer for any special moment in your life, as we can’t wait for our next one to hire her again!”

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

“Ari has been amazing to work with. I think any photo gallery really shows off her talent. I'll point out that our event had both full-sun spaces and windowless interiors, and she captured the everything equally well. But what you can't so easily see from the galleries would be everything else that Ari does. She's one of those people that always runs at 110%. She helped us to create a timeline for the day and executed it, and she acted as an announcer when needed... really, she directed the show! Another couple we are friends with were so impressed with her work on the day-of, saying they would have wanted to hire her if they hadn't already gotten married a few months prior. Overall 10/10 recommend working with Ari!”

You two & your marriage is what REALLY matters - and I’m a firm believer that your wedding photography experience should reflect that! When you feel valued, cared for & comfortable, you walk away with more than just photos. I'm not just obsessed with your gorgeous florals, I'm also committed to making you feel comfortable & cared for so that your wedding photos look like YOU on (one of) the best days of your life!

“We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. Natalie did a fabulous job with everything from capturing the most gorgeous detail shots, to posing us in the most beautiful compositions, to photographing the emotional and joyous moments from our day. During the planning process Natalie provided really good guidance as we were working to finalize our timeline for the day. I am so grateful she weighed in because her suggestions really helped the day run smoothly. Her planning materials were also SUPER helpful to make sure I wasn't forgetting any key details. On wedding day Natalie and her second shooter showed up bright and early to get settled and went right into capturing gorgeous detail shots for us. Throughout the entire day she helped keep our photography schedule on time but never made us feel rushed. She was super attentive in giving us feedback when we needed to fix our hair or if something looked out of place. She did a great job checking in with us to see if we needed a break or if we wanted to make day of changes. As a type A person who was feeling all the feels on wedding day this was GREATLY appreciated! Natalie brought a calm but focused energy to our day and it really shows through all of our gorgeous photos. She captured every photo we were hoping for and hundred and hundreds more! We truly can't thank Natalie enough. I knew from the moment we booked her that we were in good hands! Her artistic eye and attention to detail really stand out. Thank you Natalie for capturing these memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. - AJ Walsh”
