“Kayla is an ideal photographer for any situation. She is kind, enthusiastic, and driven to get the best possible photos. Her positivity is contagious and she made my wife and I's wedding day exactly what we wanted it to be. The talent that she has shows in every single picture. We were not the most comfortable people in front of the camera, but she made it the easiest experience. I look forward to framing many of these to have for years and years to come! I recommend her to any and everyone.”

“We are so incredibly blessed to have Kayla as our photographer!! She had the exact attitude we wanted and we legit could not have chosen a better person. She was so fun, kind, considerate, and made us feel so taken care of. We didn't have to worry about a single thing when it came to our pictures and she made it all so effortless. Thank you so much Kayla for making our special day even better!!”

BOOZHOO, HELLO!

meet the person behind the camera

I’M KAYLA KOERNER,

a Minnesota based destination wedding and elopement photographer whose style is a blend of artistic + documentary.

That simply means I’m obsessed with finding fantastic natural light (usually outdoors) to tell my couples’ stories in a creative and authentic way. My approach to documenting your wedding day prioritizes keeping you grounded in the moment on one of the happiest days of your life.

I’m a storyteller at heart who excels at romanticizing the day-to-day.

all are welcome here!

documenting love stories, one couple at a time

All love is celebrated here! Diversity, equality, and inclusion aren’t just words to me—they’re values I carry into my life and my work. With me and my camera, you’ll find a safe, affirming space for couples, families, and individuals of all abilities, genders, identities, orientations, races, and religions. I believe everyone deserves to celebrate love in a way that feels true to them. If that resonates with you, I’d be honored to create something meaningful together.

i’m happy you’re here!
