I’M HONORED YOU’RE HERE.

WELCOME

I’ll be the first to say I never thought I’d be here doing this. But that’s what’s so beautiful about this wild and wonderful thing called life.

I set out to study Biology in University in pursuit of one day becoming an Emergency Medicine physician — I loved helping people, managing stress, and the excitement and constant buzz in the ER... I always worked better in stressful environments.

But the day after I received my degree, I picked my childhood camera back up again and realized how effortlessly photography came to me. I was asked to do 2 weddings that year.. which turned into 10 the following year, and then 25 the year after that.... and I never looked back.

I found myself thriving in the high stress of a wedding day, managing all of the emotions from the couple and their families - actually embracing all of those emotions, and turning them into art... Wedding photography quickly became my forté. It complemented the person I've been all this time.

Almost a decade later, I've worked in places like the tropical beaches of Puerto Vallarta to the serene rolling hills of Italy and everywhere in between, my one primary goal has remained to document love in the most authentic way.



I’m a (serious) sucker for love. I love its messy nature, its sun-drenched soul and its ability to bring out the best (or let’s be honest, sometimes worst) in people. The only thing I love more than admiring it from afar is capturing it from up close. Your love is precious, but not in a creepy Gollum kind of way. It’s golden and deserves to be documented with a curious lens and an open heart.

If I’m not shooting a wedding or editing endlessly with a cup of coffee at my desk, I’m likely off exploring the world and delving deep into other cultures. I am enamored by the differences between all of us, because to me, they magnify the similarities.

If photography counts as my first love, a passion for understanding people and cultures is a close second. In a nutshell, I’m a ‘no worries’ kind of girl with an endless curiosity for all things that ooze light and love.

I’m honored to welcome you into this season of life and to partner with you on sharing one beautiful piece of your love story. I welcome you to come as you are, to be wholeheartedly you.

I’m Kiran

With love,

Kiran Kandola
