Think about it……on your wedding day you will spend more time with the photographer than anyone else. We know it's important to feel comfortable and connected with each other, so let’s get acquainted (we’ll go first!).
Meet Kai + tim
We are destination wedding photographers Kailee and Tim, lovers of beauty, deep belly laughs and fluffy dogs. We are kind and adventurous people that cherish once in a lifetime experiences.
Whether we are roaming the whitewashed towns of Santorini or photo-rallying a bridal party before the ceremony. All of it is precious to us, and we live to capture it.
Our photography style is charming, light, harmonious and warm. The most rewarding part of this job is capturing the unique essence of each couples’ relationship.
As design enthusiasts, we relish in witnessing our couples in the atmosphere they create on their wedding day. From the special, meaningful touches to the overall aesthetic, it piques our creative inspiration and informs how we highlight our couples in “their world.” We value our couples’ authenticity, expression and joy — we celebrate all love here!
We are skilled at capturing movement and the candid, “in between” moments of the wedding day.
Whether it's a sweet glance from your beloved or the flower girl exploring the whirl of her tutu. We will curate and capture all of the essential, posed shots, and thrive off capturing all of the sweet, natural moments that help to breathe life back into a day that can sometimes feel (and look!) like a dream. Together, these styles create an elegant and captivating gallery that will pull at your heartstrings and transport you back to your wedding day.
"Every single detail, emotion, laugh, smile, and kiss was captured so perfectly, and beautifully."
-Jada & Chris
Kai and Tim have impeccable attention to detail, capturing not only us, and our families, but each of our guests, and the joy that they, too, were experiencing throughout the night. These photos let us see what everyone else was seeing and feeling, and the incredible ability to be there in that moment, over and over again. Their work is truly art.
a few more things you should know:
Laughter is Contagious
We have been pleased to hear that many of our couples say shooting with us is like hanging out with old friends. We know that laughter is contagious, and we wield it to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. While we enjoy a good laugh on the job, we pride ourselves as professionals that are punctual, detail oriented and efficient. As a husband and wife duo we can read each other’s cues instantly, and will be on top of your wedding schedule without missing any shots!

Kai & Tim
Kai
Kailee (pronounced "Kylie") is the proud founder of KDP. For over ten years she's been dedicated to curating romantic photoshoots that capture the special love that radiates between her couples. With experience as a wedding planner, a bride and a wedding photographer, she brings a level of support and care to her couples that extends beyond the snap of her shutter. You may find her roller skating around her neighborhood, looking up flights out of the country or admiring the coastal vistas around her beloved city of Charleston.
Favorite show: Ted Lasso
Favorite place: Australia
Favorite season: Spring
tim
Since Tim fell for Kai in high school he has been supporting her in her photography dreams, even if that means carrying her bags at a photoshoot. Years later, here he is as the second, essential half of KDP, and a skilled photographer and drone pilot at that. He's a fabulous cook, a committed ball-throwing dog dad and an enthusiastic dancer (sometimes he gets a little too excited and rips his pants on the dance floor.) In his free time you may find him in a serene state of mind rowing through the waterways of Clark's Sound, or rollerblading in his neighborhood.
Favorite show: Peaky Blinders
Favorite place: Hawaii
Favorite season: Summer
Finn
(aka Smooshie 1) : This precious nugget is Finn, the first Australian Labradoodle that stole our heart and turned us into proud, pup parents. She's an old soul that loves life's simple pleasures such as a good snuggle and playing ball. She's part human, part doodle and part perfection.
Favorite toy: ball
Favorite season: Anything under 70 degrees
Favorite snack: Apples
Koa
(aka Smooshie 2) : We added another Smooshie to the fam! Koa means "brave one" in Hawaiian and this tenacious, energizing puppy adds so much spunk to our home. She's also an Australian Labradoodle and is actually Finn's niece! She's a passionate licker with a playful, adventurous spirit.
Favorite toy: any toy Finn is currently playing with
Favorite season: Anything under 70 degrees
Favorite snack: Broccoli
