Kailee Kroll Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Salem, WV

I'm a professionally-trained journalist turned self-taught wedding, elopement and portrait photographer based in Clarksburg, West Virginia. I have been so honored to have captured more than 175 weddings & travel across the country to photograph couples in love. My style relies heavily on natural and candid moments, I want your images to transport you back to that special day as it was— the laughs, the goofy glances, that hand squeeze from Grandma, or the tears you share with your partner when you see each other for the first time. To me, photography is a lot more than just pretty photos — it's an experience and a real part of your day.

Kailee is an absolute delight to work with, and we are so fortunate to have her work to preserve our wedding! From our engagement session to the last reception photo, she made it so easy to relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. In addition to direct support with timeline planning for our day, she provided wonderful and detailed resources that I found myself using constantly in the months leading up to the wedding. Looking through our final gallery feels like a warm hug from a perfect day!

Texas Fresh Photography

Hello! We're Texas Fresh Photography, A husband & wife duo who founded Texas Fresh in Corpus Christi. While we specialize in weddings, portraits, pet photography, and events. Our hearts (and lens) love to cover sessions with newlyweds, whether its your wedding, proposal, or future life events that you two may have together.

We originally considered another photographer, but after our mini session with Michael from Texas Fresh Photography, we knew we had to book them instead. Michael stayed in touch throughout the planning process without ever being pushy, which we really appreciated. On our wedding day, they captured every moment with incredible detail and made sure the quality was sharp and beautiful in every single shot. What set them apart was going the extra mile—we had a sneak peak the morning after our wedding, and in addition to that, they photographed individual portraits of each couple on our wedding team, which felt really special. Their prices are fair for the level of work you get, and honestly, every photo turned out perfect. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to document our day.

Hey there! I'm Zach.  I've been photographing weddings professionally since 2010.  I hail from West Virginia, but I have photographed in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, or anywhere. I have been featured in several magazines for my work with bands, as well. I love to photograph dreamy photos. I love to represent your love as it truly is. Not to recreate a feeling, but to actually capture it as it unfolds. True love is the best. I want to document your wedding day in a way that you will remember it, but maybe with a more dreamy feel.

Zach is the absolute best! He is professional and personable, and has a unique artistic vision. He takes the time and care to make sure he captures the essence of your special day, and even after almost 7 years, I never get tired of looking at our wedding pictures. He is exceptional!!

Joe and Ashley are the best photography team out there!!! We chose them as our wedding photographers, and it was the best decision I've ever made. From start to finish, they made the process so easy - with phone calls to discuss details and answer ALL of my questions, super fast responses over email, and then seamless photo-taking on the day of! They were so fun to be around too, and made everyone feel at ease - even my now-husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken. The photos themselves are to DIE for - we received the sneak peek on Thursday (our wedding was Sunday 5/24), and I was FLOORED. They turned out even better than I imagined, and all of our family and friends have been raving about them. We're so excited for the full gallery, which I know will be just as amazing as the preview!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

As a wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photographer, I have spent the last two decades mastering the art of visual storytelling. While I love every facet of my craft, weddings will always be my absolute happy place. To me, wedding photography is far more than just documenting a single day. It is about elevating your entire experience. My mission is to ensure your wedding day is seamless, joyful, and even more memorable simply because I am there to serve you. From the quiet, intimate glances to the grand celebrations, I am dedicated to preserving your most treasured memories with a sophisticated, intentional touch.

If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.
