About Candids By Kira

Candids By Kira

Lead Photographer

Hi I’m Kira! I am a portrait and wedding photographer based on the NH seacoast. On a wedding day I love to let moments unfold naturally. I lean towards documentary style, but I also mix in classic portraits throughout the day. Of course when a couple needs a little guidance, I’m right there to help with posing so they look and feel their very best.

I let a wedding day be a wedding day and not a stressful photoshoot! The best photos come from raw unfiltered emotion from a moment I did not orchestrate. I keep my camera aimed and ready for all of those special moments we may or may not expect. Prior to the wedding, I’ll make a detailed plan with you so that we have time set aside for classic portraits so you have more time to party!

    A wonderful experience

    Candids By Kira was a pleasure to work with our couple. They were communicative throughout the process, and responded promptly to all our emails. On the day of the wedding, Kira’s professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail truly stood out. Despite the rain, she handled everything seamlessly—capturing beautiful formal portraits, candid moments, and stunning shots of the venue itself. The couple and us were absolutely thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly documented their special day. We would love to get another opportunity to work with Candids By Kira and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an experienced and talented wedding photographer.

    Kira did an incredible job photographing our engagement party! She was professional, friendly, and so easy to work with—everyone at the party had wonderful things to say about her. She took the time to chat with us beforehand to understand exactly what we were looking for, worked within our budget, and made the entire experience feel seamless. We were also so impressed by how quickly she turned around our gallery, and we absolutely love the photos. Overall, we had such an amazing experience working with Kira and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! — Jess & Miles

    We were fortunate to have Kira photograph our daughter's wedding in Fayette, Maine last weekend, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment she arrived until she left eight hours later, she was constantly engaged, capturing both the big moments and the countless candid moments that make a wedding unique. Her energy, creativity, and attention to detail were remarkable. Kira didn’t hesitate to take a few final photos down by the lake dock near sunset despite the landmines left by the Canadian geese and the biting insects that seemed to be reemerging. Those extra touches and thoughtful ideas made such a difference. She was professional, enthusiastic, easy to work with, and clearly passionate about her craft. We are incredibly grateful for the care she took in preserving these memories and highly recommend her.

    Wow, how incredibly kind of you to write this! A+S's wedding was so beautiful and heartwarming in so many aspects. It was an honor to be there to witness and capture it. As Mahaley Hallet's associate photographer, I must say that I only did half the job- I look forward to seeing her photo edits and I wish you and your family the very best!

    It was an absolute joy working as a second shooter with Kira! From the moment we arrived at the venue, her organization and professionalism shone through. She provided clear direction, making it easy for me to contribute effectively while capturing beautiful moments. Kira is not only a talented photographer with a remarkable eye for weddings, but she is also super friendly and approachable. Her ability to connect with the couple and their families created a relaxed atmosphere that allowed for genuine, candid moments to unfold naturally. I was especially impressed by how she went above and beyond for her bride, checking everything off her photography list of shots. Her final images are absolutely stunning, and I am genuinely excited to work with her again as a second shooter in the future. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who combines skill, warmth, and a true passion for her craft, book with Candids by Kira!

    I had the pleasure of hiring Kira to second shoot a wedding with me, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, confident, and knowledgeable. She seamlessly stepped into the day, anticipated needs before they arose, and captured beautiful moments with skill and intention. What stood out most was her willingness to help in every area, even beyond what was expected of her role. She was kind, supportive, adaptable, and genuinely invested in making the day run smoothly for both the couple and the vendor teams. Having someone so reliable by my side allowed me to focus on serving my clients with confidence! Not only is she a talented photographer, but she's also a joy to work with. If you're considering hiring her for a wedding or event, you will be in excellent hands. Would absolutely work with her again! ❤️
