    Of all of the vendors we hired for our wedding, Kiki (Kara) is my favorite. Prior to Kara, we had a really unfortunate situation with a less-than-honest photographer that left us a little weary to hire another for our wedding. However, from the very beginning, Kara was so understanding of the entire situation and was patient with our going through her photography agreement with a fine tooth comb. After that point, everything went so smoothly! Communicating with Kara was easy and she was always quick and responsive to emails. The day of the wedding, she was one of the most important factors in pulling it all together. She knew exactly where and what to do with my groom and I. She and Tanner (her assistant) were so polite and you could definitely tell that dealing with brides and wedding day chaos didn't bother them! They seemed like a very natural part of our wedding. The photos were well worth the wait - you'd assume there would be at least some "meh" pictures in the batch, but no! I loved them all and had the hardest time deciding which to post on Facebook or print out for our scrapbook. All of my friends and family love them.

    A pleasure to work with!

    Saw Kiki's work a few years back and from that day on I planned to use her when I got married. So happy with the decision! After working together, both my new wife and my bridal party raved about how much they loved her! Made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

    amazing photographer

    Kara was SUCH an amazing addition to our wedding vendors, I truly would not have wanted to work with anyone else. She is so chill and down to earth, and her photos are so beautiful and unique, I've gotten tons of compliments on them. HIGHLY recommend!!

    KiKi Creates Photos + Films's reply:

    Thank you Sonya! You had the most beautiful and loving day. So happy we were able to be apart of it!

    Amazingly Creative

    Kiki and her crew are just amazing, we wanted our photography to tell the story of our relationship and our Colorado wedding experience. We gave her free license to shoot away and we are over the moon with the results! I would not change one thing and she was fantastic to work with. I changed my wedding date to book her, if she's available for your date BOOK IT!

    absolutely gorgeous photos!

    I absolutely loved Kiki's work for our wedding. She was really easy to communicate with us before and during the wedding, and she was very patient! She had wonderful ideas about where to stage all the photos, and she made us all look so lovely! Her editing of the photos is top-notch. I hired her because her work is beyond that of any other photographer I noticed on wedding websites. It's like her work should really be in Vogue or Elle - it's just the most beautiful staging and lighting. You will be honored to work with her!

    I would go back to KiKi over and over again.

    KiKi's one of the most talented and sweet individuals you'll ever meet. All of the photos she provided us are the top quality and she remained in contact in case we had any other questions or concerns about the photos. I'm absolutely in love with all the work she did for our wedding and engagement pictures. My husband and I both take every opportunity to show off our galleries whenever possible and we always get super positive feedback for how the images all came out. She was the first wedding vendor I knew I wanted when we started wedding planning and she's definitely the best choice we could have ever made.

    Absolutely breathtaking

    Kiki from the very beginning was a pleasure to work with. Not only was she friendly, she made me feel like a friend not just a client. Her warm personality drew me in immediately and we are so happy we chose her. On our wedding day, she captured everything from the small details to us partying and having a blast. She was always there but you never knew it. I will cherish these pictures and our video for forever. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

    Vanessa, this is so sweet! And thank you for creating such a magical space and day to make photos with you guys. Was such a beautiful day! And so happy I was the one to be there :)

    Kiki is amazing!!!!

    We absolutely adore Kiki!!! She was so wonderful to work with and was completely laid back and made us feel so comfortable. Her work is absolutely stunning and authentic. We were not looking for super posed photos and she created and captured exactly what we wanted and more. Kiki captured our day with authenticity and the photos felt candid and bring us back to our big day. Our photos were turned around impressively fast as well. We are so grateful that we found Kiki!! Thank you ♥️

    Amazing is an understatement!

    Kiki was an absolute joy to work with and I loved seeing her finished product! We had her do our wedding photos and video and everything came out breathtaking. She is such a sincere and caring person, she truly wants you to have the most magical day ever! I appreciated her communication, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness. Her photography is pure art! I highly recommend working with Kiki, truly an amazing experience!

    KiKi Creates Photos + Films's reply:

    Maya, how wonderful is this. Thank you so much for the kind words and for having Shirley and I there! You and Logan just had the kindest group of friends and family and we absolutely loved being there.

    The Perfect Elopement

    Our elopement was perfect- in large part thanks to Kiki. She was easy to work with. My husband (who hates getting his picture taken) was at ease. We got beautiful shots and we are very pleased with the quality. I would recommend Kiki to anyone wanting gorgeous elopement, engagement, or wedding photos.

    110 Person Fall Wedding 2019

    We got connected with Kiki via word of mouth in CB, we feel so lucky as she was the perfect fit with so much talent! Kiki was prompt, detailed and so very down-to-earth! She can go with the flow and keep her bubbly vibe all day. She will make you feel like a superstar! We highly recommend Kiki Creates if you are looking for a reliable and creative person to capture the moments you don't want to end. Thank you, Kiki! You are a rock star! XOXO

    Speechless!

    KiKi and Doug captured my and my husband's elopement. It was so important that we find the right person to shoot such a special event so we could share with family later. We were 100000% blown away and felt like we walked away with two more friends! I get goosebumps when we get to go back and look at our images and videos all over again. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK WITH KiKi CREATES!

    KiKi Creates Photos + Films's reply:

    Thank you Lyda!! We had such a wonderful time spending the day with you, you guys were truly so much fun to photograph!

    Kiki is so talented and makes photoshoots fun!

    We just got 60 photo teasers back from Kiki (only 48 hours after our wedding!!) and we're OBSESSED! We can't stop looking through these beautiful photos! Kiki has such an eye for capturing the special moments, and with a style that really makes our photos a piece of art. She was so relaxed and fun that she got even our most shy guests to pose and get silly. She had my husband and I interact with each other so organically that our photos really look, and are, candid. We LOVE Kiki and would recommend her for any elopement or wedding!

    Kara is the best photographer I've ever had!

    We were fortunate that Kara was able to do our Engagement photos in January and our Wedding Photos in August as well. They turned out incredible. There was no one else I would have trusted for such special moments and she captured them so well. Our wedding was not perfect and we had to deal with rain, but Kara made it effortless and easy for the photos. My family and friends are so impressed by the photos because they are all beautiful and unique.
    I can't wait to use her again in the future.

    Amazing, professional photographer

    Kiki shot our wedding this March. She's a spectacular photographer. Very professional, prompt with responses (you have no idea how important this is until you have a bad photographer), and has a very quick turnaround time. I love the look of her photos. It truly stands out from the rest. Her compositions are well thought out, and the tones she uses are simply stunning. Even though the images she captures are unique, as a collection, they are consistent, and really tell the story of the wedding. I'm very happy that we went with Kiki, and I recommend her services wholeheartedly.

    KiKi is lovely to work with! We are so glad we hired her to be our wedding photographer. She is very responsive during the whole process. She took the time to go through all the details with us ahead of time, so everything went smoothly on our wedding day. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wedding photographer!

    Kara is an incredible photographer who is able to capture the beauty of both nature and people in the same photo without detracting from either. She creates art with every photograph and highlights emotions that help bring you back to your special memory. We wanted to find a photographer who would not take "typical" wedding photos but would make our memories into art, and we very much found that in Kara. On top of it all, she's a joy to work with and had teaser photos to us within a day of our wedding. Would highly recommend using her for weddings or special events, or "just because" --- she's truly an amazing artist!

    KiKi Creates Photos + Films's reply:

    Thank you so much Elizabeth!!! You guys were so adventurous and up for all my ideas even though we paddled a canoe with a stick! I had such a fun weekend with you guys and can't wait to see you again soon I hope!! KiKi

    Kara is an outstanding photographer. I don’t feel like I can do her any kind of justice telling you about it, you just have to meet her and let her capture your most important moments because the results will take your breath away. She is truly an artist and has provided us with the most magical photos of our wedding. We found it very difficult travelling from the UK having never met Kara, we had blind faith from seeing her work online and speaking with her via email. As soon as we met her all of those issues disappeared, you feel like you have known her for years and she is so much fun we didn’t stop laughing the entire time. She manages to move unnoticed taking pictures (and we had a VERY small wedding) whilst also being an awesome guest and, as it turned out for us, she became a really special part of our day and memories! The wedding absolutely flew by for us but Kara has ensured we have the most epic and stunning pictures to keep forever. You’re the best Kara thank you!!!

    Niki, will you two come back to the US and get married again? Just so we can hang out!! Wow, did I have an amazing time with you guys! Thank you for adventuring around with me and enjoying champagne in my back seat!! I truly feel so special you had me there!! You two are one of a kind and hope we can see each other again soon!

    You don't have to look any further than Kiki Creates! We were nervous about finding someone that we could trust to capture the memories for our special day who would also be affordable. Kara took the most stunning photos for our engagement session and at our wedding. She was calm, flexible and assisted us through the planning process. I have no reservations about recommending Kara to anyone who needs a photographer. You will not be disappointed.

    Kiki is just amazing! The second I saw her photos I knew I was going to book her. All you have to do is go to her website and see her work and you'll know what I'm talking about. I haven't received all my photos yet, but the ones I have received are FANTASTIC! She was super organized and responsive and was great with all the photos I "added" last minute LOL I would recommend to her EVERYONE! She is incredible. :)
