TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER
WHEREVER LOVE TAKES YOU
You're not here for cookie-cutter moments or stiff poses.
You're here because your story has legs. It roams, it meanders, it moves. And lucky for you, so does your photographer.
Kendra McClain isn't tied to one city or studio. As a traveling photographer, she goes where your heart leads, whether a mossy forest trail, a red rock cliffside, or the middle of your backyard with fairy lights and barefoot dancing.
She doesn't just bring a camera. She brings presence, heart, and the kind of intuition that knows when to click the shutter just before your partner tears up.
From Asheville to Anchorage, and All the Moments In Between
Kendra regularly photographs love stories in places like:
-
Colorado's hidden gardens and alpine trails
-
Oregon's foggy coasts and pine forests
-
Texas Hill Country's wildflower meadows
-
New Mexico's desert chapels and windswept roads
-
And wherever else your love story wanders.
PLANNING A DESTINATION ELOPEMENT, OR STAYING CLOSE TO HOME?
Planning a destination elopement? Kendra will help you! Scout the perfect location, whether it's on a mountaintop, tucked into redwoods, or on the edge of the sea. Navigate logistics like permits, lighting, and backup plans for wild weather. Dream alongside you, offering ideas that match your vibe (and your vision board)!
Some couples want to hike in boots and say "I do" beside a quiet lake. Others want to elope in a bustling city, at sunrise, with coffee in hand. She's here for all of it and will help make the moment feel easy, intentional, and accurate to you.
And if you're staying close to home? Maybe it's your childhood backyard. A state park you walk in every Sunday. A local chapel that holds history for your family.
Kendra sees what matters. She'll find the light, the angles, and the tiny details that make familiar places feel breathtaking—because they are when they're yours.
EVERY COUPLE'S STORY IS DIFFERENT. KENDRA GETS THAT.
WHAT SHE CAPTURES
Elopements & Intimate Weddings
Personal, unfiltered vows in extraordinary places.
You weren't made for ballroom seating charts and endless traditions. You were made for wind in your hair, dirt on your shoes, and vows whispered beneath open skies. Kendra specializes in capturing the raw, emotional heartbeat of intimate weddings, unposed, unscripted moments, and entirely yours.
Engagements
Playful, nature-soaked sessions that tell your story.
Before the vows come the glances, the laughter, the quiet knowing; engagement shoots with Kendra are about presence, not posing. You'll explore, move, and connect while she documents the genuine joy between you. There will be no forced smiles or stiff shoulders, just the two of you being yourselves in a setting that feels right.
Maternity & Milestones
Because love keeps evolving, and it deserves to be seen.
Milestones matter; the first flutter of new life, the celebration of a new chapter, the quiet in-between where transformation happens. Kendra brings tenderness and intuition to every maternity or milestone session, capturing not just what's changing but what's eternal: your love, your story, your joy in the making.
Wherever Love Leads
Wherever your next chapter unfolds, Kendra is there—camera in hand, heart wide open. Her job isn't to direct your love story. It's to honor it. With every frame, she captures how your connection moves: through landscapes, seasons, and time.
