Hi, I’m Kayla!

I’ve always been drawn to moments that feel deeply meaningful
the kind you don’t always notice in the moment, but come to matter
more with time.

I believe your wedding day is more than a celebration
it’s the beginning of a lifelong promise, one that deserves to be remembered with care.

My approach is rooted in creating a calm, intentional space so you can be fully present in every moment
while I document your story in a way that feels honest, natural, and lasting.

Because the most meaningful images aren’t just beautiful
they carry memory, emotion, and legacy.

The heart behind Wren & Elm Photography
Before anything else, I want you to know who will be walking alongside you on your wedding day.

Meet Kayla

You care deeply about the people in the room
the promises you’re making
and the life you’re stepping into together..

You want to be fully present on your wedding day
to laugh, to cry, to soak it all in
without worrying about how it looks.

And you want photos that reflect that honestly
joyful, emotional, and true to you.

Even the moments you thought you’d never forget

The way your hands find each other during the ceremony.
The quiet glance across the room. The laughter you didn’t expect.

The moments you’ll treasure most are often the ones you didn’t plan for
the quiet, meaningful glimpses of what the day truly represents.

Those moments pass quickly, but their meaning doesn’t.
That’s why your wedding day is documented with presence and intention
so nothing meaningful is missed.

Your Wedding Day Will Go Faster Than You Think

Your wedding day isn’t just a timeline
it’s a collection of moments that deserve to be felt again.

Kayla captured the most beautiful photographs for my wedding. She was so nice to work with and really took time to make sure she was capturing the details and perfect moments from that day. I will always treasure these photos and having these sweet memories to look back on!

Kayla was awesome to work with! She was very accommodating, great at communicating with us through the entire process
and made us feel very comfortable and confident going into our wedding day! Her professionalism and experience was apparent as she knew exactly what shots to get while at the same time allowing us to be part of the creative process. Our final photos turned out beautiful! We would highly recommend her for your photography needs.
