CONSIDER THIS MY MANIFESTO
Your wedding is one of those rare days where time feels both fast and still all at once. You deserve someone who knows how to honor that balance, guiding when needed, stepping back when it matters, and helping you feel comfortable through it all. With more than a decade of experience, I have learned that the most beautiful images come from trust.
I bring calm energy, a practiced eye, and the kind of presence that feels like a friend behind the camera. My approach blends honest emotion with editorial artistry, creating photographs that feel effortless and refined, timeless and true to you.
the DETAILS
Yes, we will create the grand, artful images that you will frame and hang on your wall, the ones that look straight out of a magazine or a memory you never want to fade. But we will also find the in-between, the quiet pieces of the day that remind you what it felt like to be there.
The wind in your hair, the laughter you did not realize was captured, that sweet happy tear, and the way the light moved across the room. Those are the moments that give the big beautiful ones meaning, the story within the stillness.
STYLE
My style is natural and timeless, blending a documentary feel with a touch of editorial direction to create photographs that feel real, intentional, and full of life.
A blend of fine art and real life. Guided by light, story, and connection to create imagery that feels real, intentional, and full of life.
EXPERIENCE
From your first message to your final gallery, we make every step feel natural and easy. With experienced associate second photographers and a creative planning team behind the scenes, every detail is cared for.
My process is built on trust, communication, and intention so you can stay present while we capture your story as it unfolds
CLIENTELE
We work with couples who care about meaning as much as beauty, who trade the noise for open skies and want a day that feels intentional, effortless, and true to them. They value quiet luxury, connection, and the kind of experience that feels as good as it looks.
Your intimate mountain celebration should feel deeply lived and beautifully remembered. I collaborate seamlessly with planners and creative partners or offer in-house support to ensure everything flows with ease and intention.
BEFORE THE WEDDING
This is where we lay the foundation for everything to run smoothly. Together, we’ll discuss timelines, light, and creative details so you feel prepared and supported from the start. My process is organized and intentional, designed to give you clarity while leaving space for life to unfold naturally.
THE WEDDING DAY
The planning pays off here. With a calm, steady approach, I’ll guide when needed and step back when it’s time to simply live the moment. You’ll move through the day feeling comfortable and confident, knowing every part of it is being documented with care.
AFTER THE WEDDING
After the celebration, I carefully curate and edit your story to reflect how it all truly felt. You’ll receive a preview within two weeks, and your full gallery is delivered within eight, filled with timeless photographs that bring you right back to where it all began.

TRAVEL / DESTINATION
Based in the Tetons, I’m lucky to call one of the most beautiful destinations in the world home. From Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks to Swan Valley, Driggs, Victor, and Island Park, I photograph couples who come here to celebrate surrounded by wild beauty and meaningful moments.
While most of my work centers here in the mountains, I take a limited number of travel sessions each year when the season allows. My travel schedule is most flexible from November through March, but it never hurts to ask. Whether you are planning a destination wedding in the Tetons or bringing me somewhere new, I approach every story with the same intention, care, and artistry.

The Heart Behind the Lens
What began in 2013 as one photographer with a deep love for mountain weddings has grown into a boutique studio grounded in artistry and intention. With over a decade of experience photographing love stories across Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and the mountain West, my approach is rooted in connection over perfection — calm direction, clean composition, and true-to-color imagery that feels timeless and real.
As the studio evolved, so did the vision. Today, Kayla Beard Photo includes a small team of trusted photographers, each personally trained in my process to ensure every image carries the same thoughtful eye and attention to detail. Couples can choose from solo or dual coverage, with options for full planning support to create a seamless, intentional experience from start to finish.
This work is more than documentation. It is storytelling with purpose — preserving legacy through images that look and feel like the life you are building together.
Serving Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone, Driggs, Victor, Tetonia, and beyond.
