Let’s make sure your story is preserved-every laugh, every tear, and every tiny detail you didn’t even notice in the moment.

This is a day that you will look back on every year for the rest of your lives. Your children will gaze at the photos on the wall and see the love their parents have for each other. You will share these photos with family and friends and those you haven't even met yet. This is YOUR STORY.

When I photograph your wedding, I’m not just documenting an event, I’m capturing the connection, the emotions, and the personal moments that make this day uniquely yours. All of the stunning photos on Pinterest aren’t going to mean anything in comparison to moments of your day that are truly you and the ones that tell your story. The way your partner’s hand steadies yours during the vows, the sunlight filtering through the trees as you exchange a knowing glance, the smiles on your parents’ faces as they watch their babies walk down the aisle, those are the moments you’ll want to hold onto. It’s a testament of all of the pieces of your story so far and the beginning of everything yet to come.

Your wedding day is just the start of a lifetime of memories.

What a beautiful and intimate way to celebrate your love, whether it’s just the two of you or a celebration with a few close friends and family. An elopement is typically a more relaxed, private affair where you can focus entirely on each other, away from the traditional wedding hustle and bustle. They are about creating an experience that is deeply personal and unique to who you are as a couple. Whether you’re tying the knot in the mountains of Glacier National Park, at the courthouse, or even in the comfort of your own home, I believe every elopement deserves to be celebrated with beautiful photography that tells the unique story of your day.

The Process

Do you travel?

FAQs

Yes! I would love to come to wherever your wedding is happening! If your wedding is more than three hours outside of my home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reach out for my destination wedding pricing and info guide. All travel fees are included in my packages!

How long do I have to wait for my photos?

A selection of preview photos will be delivered within 48 hours and the entire gallery within two months.

How many photos do you deliver?

I don’t limit my packages to a specific number because I want to deliver all of the photos needed to tell your story well, but you can generally expect between 50-100 photos per hour of coverage.

Do you help with wedding day timeline planning?

Yes! I provide timeline suggestions and work with you to ensure that we have plenty of time for all of the key moments, family portraits, couple photos, etc. without feeling rushed.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Every day is different and we can go over the specifics of yours when we jump on a quick video chat, but my most popular package for traditional weddings is 8 hours of coverage.

What if by some tragedy you can’t make it to our wedding?

There isn’t much that can keep me away from photographing a wedding, but if that were to happen, I would hire a replacement at no cost to you, and still do all of the editing myself. And of course, I would be in full communication with you along the way!

Do you give vendor recommendations?

Yes! Once you are booked with me, you will have access to all sorts of resources including a list of wonderful vendors in the area.

Soulful Nostalgia

I’m drawn to the beauty of historic love and I bring that same appreciation into my photography, capturing moments that feel classic, enduring, and rich with meaning.

Emphasize the Story

Every photograph I take contributes to a greater narrative, the story of your love, your new family, and the moments you’ll cherish forever. I don’t just capture images, I document the essence of your journey.

Genuine Connection

I'm forever obsessing over the sweet bonds between people. My goal is to photograph these connections in a way that feels natural, warm, and full of heart.

Mundane Moments

Sometimes the smallest moments are the ones you’ll treasure most. My work focuses on celebrating those fleeting, everyday memories.

Comfortable Authenticity

I want every session to feel as comfortable as an afternoon at home. It’s about creating a space where you can relax, be yourself, and let the magic happen.

At the core of my work

From booking my session to receiving the final products, my experience with Kira at Kira Rideout Photography was incredible! Kira is talented, kind, and communicative. Her pre-session guide is thorough with loads of tips, suggestions, and information! During our session, everything was natural and she had great prompts. Kira has a gift for capturing moments of love and joy, and putting that same energy into her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos!

- Gloria & Justin

"It felt like having another friend!"

Booking from out of state was so stressful! Let alone any type of photographer! I reached out one day and I’m so grateful I did!! Kira Rideout photography is 10/10! She goes the extra mile getting to know you as a couple, getting all the best angles making you feel the best! It felt more like having another friend around telling me which angles are the best rather than someone wanting posed pics. My only negative is that I’m not closer to have more pictures done!

"We had so much fun capturing special moments"

Kira (and second-shooter husband Caden) is the best. Her flexibility, attention to detail (phones out of pockets, please!), and calm enthusiasm made pictures one of the best pieces of our wedding day. We had so much fun capturing special moments with her, and would ask her to take pictures for us again in a heartbeat!

"Kira was fast and communicative!"

Kira is such a friendly, easy to work with photographer that creates incredible results. We did a beach couple's portrait session with her and were blown away by how photogenic she managed to make us look! Her style made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She was fast and communicative with the final pictures. For anyone looking for a photographer, look no further.

"I am so glad we found her!"

Kira Rideout Photography was amazing! I was an out-of-state bride and her style was everything I was looking for. She was so easy to work with, she really streamlined her entire process and communication AND HER PHOTOS ARE AMAZING! I would recommend her over and over again!!! I am so glad we found her!
