Booking Your Wedding Photographer
Are you planning a wedding?
There are so many choices when it comes to choosing all of your vendors, it can get a bit overwhelming. I would love to tell you a little bit about what you can expect from booking Kyla Jo Photography as your wedding photographer. But first, I am going to tell you a little bit about me, or you can keep scrolling down (I won’t be offended!)
My name is Kyla Jo Tighe, and I will have photographed over 100 weddings after 2020. I graduated from Wapahani High school in 2012, and graduated from Ball State University in 2017 with my Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Photography. I am a full time photographer based out of Muncie, Indiana but love to travel!
I’m a lover of ALL animals, the outdoors, chicken nuggets and pizza, Diet Pepsi, jeggings, & throwback 90’s hip-hop playlists on Spotify. I love to be outdoors (especially in the fall), you will find me (when I am not photographing) at an Indiana state park exploring new places with my boyfriend and doggos in our camper.
I have a 6.5 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix (Kip), a 4 year old Alaskan Malamute (Carbon), an 18 pound Maine Coon Cat (Mugsy), & an alien one eared cat (Lil Dipper). These guys are my entire world, believe me I would take all the animals home with me if I could!
Enough about me, back to booking your wedding and what to expect from me!
❤️Timeless photos that document your special day and gorgeous portraits of the two of you. I capture a mixture of candids and natural portraits so that you have a variety of photos.
❤️A LARGE preview within a week of your wedding that has every family photo, bridesmaid, groomsmen, and highlight of your wedding day included (I might go a little overboard on the previews, but I get so excited and want to include every little bit of your wedding day in them!)
❤️A photographer who is not only your photographer, but your friend, dress fluffer, hair fixer, supporter, and will giggle and genuinely tear up with you throughout your wedding day!
❤️A timeline that I customize just for you and your wedding day! No wedding is the same, and that is why I don't charge by the day but by the hour. No cookie cutter timeline, I sit down with you and go through your family portraits, how many people you have in your bridal party, what you expect from your wedding and what you don't want! I then create your timeline so that you don't feel rushed and you get to enjoy every little bit of your day.
❤️I also offer professional high quality prints, canvases, and albums that I customize for you and order so you can show off in your home for the rest of your lives and/or gift for your family members.
❤️I am not just a wedding photographer, I capture engagements, maternity, family, newborn, children, seniors, and pets. That means, that once your wedding is over you don't have to start the process all over again...I am a lifetime photographer, I can capture all of your special moments from when you say I do until your child graduates from high school. I love staying connected with my clients and watching their love grow into families.
Here is a little run through of what the process looks like when booking Kyla Jo Photography:
1. Booking & Planning
Upon inquiring with Kyla Jo Photography, you will receive my wedding pricing and contract with all of the details you need to know about pricing and package options. After looking over my pricing and contract, we can schedule a time to meet at Starbucks or my photo studio. When we meet I will bring worksheets for us to go over and fill out together and will help create a schedule for your special day. You are welcome to sign and book your wedding that day in person, or take it home and mail it in at a later date. Once things are booked and we’re officially official, we will begin planning all of the fun details for your engagement shoot!
2. Engagement Session
The fun begins! After working together to choose the perfect location, we will spend an hour or more together to shoot your engagement photos! Your only job during our session is to cuddle up and smile with your fiance - I will lead you through posing for the entire shoot and tell you lame jokes to make you laugh. This is a time for us to get to know one another, get comfortable working together and allow you to spend time together in front of the camera with no stress! These photos will be back to you within a month and ready to print or create a guest album for your wedding day. (Engagement sessions are not included in your wedding booking, but you receive half off your engagement session when you book Kyla Jo Photography for your wedding!)
3. Final Phone Call or Email
As your wedding day approaches, I will be available to help with anything and everything you need - vendor recommendations, timeline preparation, planning suggestions and more. When we are just a few weeks out we will plan a phone call, if you are comfortable with all of the schedule and details we can just email back and forth. We do all of this to finalize timelines and answer last-minute questions. That way, you can wake up on your wedding day entirely stress free and ready to marry that man of your dreams!
4. Your BIG Day
Your BIG day is finally here, YAY! My goal on your wedding day is to ensure that it is as fun, easy and stress-free as possible, so that you can take it all in. I will be there to capture every moment, from beginning to end, so that you have memories to last your lifetime and your children’s children’s lifetime.
5. Gallery Delivery
You will receive a sneak peek of your wedding day within a week of your wedding. Your sneak peek will be on the blog and on Facebook for you to share with your friends and family. You can expect to receive your final finished gallery approximately 8 weeks following your wedding day. Your beautifully displayed online gallery is where you are able to download, share and print all of the high-resolution digital files. You will also receive a physical flash drive with your print release.
6. Album Design
I offer a variety of different style and sized wedding albums, I will bring several of them with me to our first meeting so that you can see some of the choices. We will work together to create beautifully designed spreads, choose cover options and finalize details for your album before it’s printed. Along with the albums, I offer professionally printed photo canvases and prints for your walls at home. I believe that your photos should be printed and preserved for you to share with others and flipped through with your family.
Now what is this going to cost us?
2020 wedding packages with high resolution digital files, a flash drive, online gallery, and print release begin at $600 for 2 hours up to $3,000 for a full 10 hours. Your wedding day is not the same as everyone else’s, that is why I allow you to create and customize how long you book with me. With a minimum of 2 hours, I am flexible to fit your special day.
All packages include a flash drive with all of your edited images, a print release, and online gallery with full resolution images to share, download and the option to order professional quality prints, albums, and canvases.

I look forward to sitting down with you and talking about you special day!
