KYRA JEAN WiLK
Greetings!
I am so happy that you are here.
Of all the places you could've found yourself and you found yourself HERE - wandering around my corner of the internet. The stoke is very real!
Hi friends! My name is Kyra (KY-RAH), (she/they), I am a Western Massachusetts wedding photographer who serves the entire Northeast and beyond. As an overly observant person since birth, my photography style really shines in the candid and documentary spaces. I'm all about those in-between moments! In my toolkit, I bring with me years of experience in the industry and the wisdom that comes with photographing hundreds of real weddings. After nearly a decade, I still find new things to love! You can think of me as a wedding guest with a camera. My aim is to be non-obtrusive, thoughtfully observational and intentional in my work. Though if needed, I'm here to offer guidance so you feel like your most confident self! As well as, gathering groups together for those much-loved family photos.
The energetic exchange between all sentient beings and human connection fascinates me to no end. Just like the network of mycelium running beneath the Earth we walk upon, we are all interconnected by our own uniquely human experience. There is an undeniable magic when people once considered strangers can grow to become our most cherished bonds.
When I'm not taking photos, you can find me in the garden, outdoor exploring the wilderness, or shaking my bones to some live music. I've been a humble, low-key food grower and gardener for many years but I just recently found a new appreciation for seed saving. Here's a random list of a few of my favorite things: forest bathing and chasing waterfalls or being near the ocean. Music is a huge part of my life. I love live music and going to concerts! Extra special shout out to my friend and photography mentor, Jay Blakesberg for the picture of me in the zone with my big, fancy camera at The Capitol Theater many, many moons ago. Long before weddings, I was fortunate to have had the chance to photograph some of my favorite musical artists! Overall, I love photography, adore being outside and hate mosquitoes.
Another favorite pastime is looking through beloved family albums and boxes of old photographs with my mom. That lady has the ultimate stash of goods!! It is the privilege of a lifetime to create meaningful images together with you that will become your family heirlooms. In a world that can often feel like it is moving too fast, I appreciate how photography offers the ability to be fully present and in the moment. It is a gift I hope to offer you... The ability to be with your people. To relish in the togetherness. To just be. To fully embrace the fleeting moments. And to get amazing photographs from it all!
Born and raised in the 413 but more than happy to travel wherever your love takes you!
The truth is I've never met a sunset or a dog that I did not like.
If this applies, please tell your dog I said, "Hi!♡"
A real "people person" at heart, I genuinely look forward to meeting new faces and learning more about what adds glimmer to your life.
What is the nicest thing someone has ever said to you? I'll go first...
"My wife and I stumbled upon Kyra’s business while looking for a wedding photographer that could produce images that felt organic, playful, and unique to the folks being photographed. Kyra, and her wonderful second shooter, Sage, more than delivered in that regard. These two are artists, full stop. Not only are we over the moon about the actual images that Kyra and Sage captured of our wedding, we are super pleased with the experience of working with them. As a same-sex couple, working with LGBTQ+ friendly vendors was very important to us, and Kyra was absolutely phenomenal on all accounts— we never felt like we needed to explain or justify our non-traditional wedding party, preferred terminology, or aspects of chosen family during the wedding."
