Our Philosophy

WE STRIVE TO CREATE LASTING MEMORIES WITH EMOTION AND WE ARE JUST AS PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR MEMORIES AS YOU.

We strive to not be your ordinary wedding photographer. The images you receive from your wedding day will show the story of your day in a unique way that is chalked full of emotional moments. Your personality will shine through in the images. We focus on candid wedding photography because it is timeless and it is so special to have emotions flooding back when you look at your wedding images.

The images we catch will be that gasp when your dad sees you for the first time before he walks you down the aisle. Or the flower girl thinking she is being sly by stealing a cupcake. It is the little moments you may not notice, but we are there to capture it. We also love the fun of the dance floor and you dancing with your grandfather. The interaction with your guests matter to us, and we capture those special memories.

About K & S

Let’s start with the first question we get, who is K & S Photography? Well the K is for Karey Doelling and S is for Shauna Benoit. We are the owners and principal photographers of K & S Photography.

We met while attending Texas Women’s University and in 2004 we received our bachelor degrees in Fine Arts with a concentration in photography. Throughout all of our classes we found that we both had very similar photography styles and artistic influences.

During college and afterwards, we both pursued jobs in a variety of photography and art related fields. We worked freelance jobs for publications, assisted commercial and portrait photographers, worked in art galleries, and even worked in film labs. We both have over 10 years of photography related experience. It’s amazing to think we have been fortunate enough to work within the photography field for so long.

Karey’s wedding to Jeremy Doelling was in 2006, and Shauna married Ray Wyatt in 2007. We both married our high school sweethearts (super cute I know!!!) During this time we both photographed each other’s bridals and weddings and got our first inspiration of photographing memories for someone that last a lifetime. Shortly afterwards, we began to have friends ask us about photographing their weddings, and K & S Photography was born in 2008.

It has been great working together for the past nine years in a career that we are so passionate about. From the beginning, we have made it our goal to capture the memories that will last a lifetime. Our approach to photography is photojournalistic – meaning we capture the special moments of your wedding day in an unobtrusive way. Whether it’s the flower girl stealing icing off the cake or a sweet exchange between the bride and her father, we want your memories to last through our images. Our goal is to fill your wedding photos with all the emotions of the day. We have achieved that goal when you look back at your pictures and really feel the emotions of each captured moment.

And what is so wonderful is when we see our couple’s lives grow with children. It is a gift to see their children grow from year to year and to document those changes with photos. We love to capture you sword fighting with your children or that soft kiss they give you on the cheek. We really feel these memories need to be captured too, because they grow so fast.

For your wedding day or family portrait session, we want you to feel confident in choosing us, and let our experience be a calming influence.

FAQ’s

What is your Style?

Our focus is to capture the priceless moments that happen on your wedding day in a creative and unique way. We really want to capture those moments as they naturally happens so when you look back at your photos, those emotions flood back and you remember exactly how you felt. We don't believe in staging those moments, we want your wedding photos to be a real representation of what unfolded on your wedding day. Our main focus is you two as a couple and the people who have chosen to celebrate your wedding with you two.

How many weddings have you photographed?

How many images do we receive from wedding day and how many are bw?

We deliver about 75-100 images per hour of coverage. So for an 8 hour wedding you can expect between 700-800 images, if not more. We really capture the moments so if there is a lot going on, there could more than this that is delivered to you.

The images you receive in your online gallery are mostly color and only 5% may be converted to bw. I know in our moments gallery the majority is bw images but that is mostly just for the site so the moment is focused on and the color is less of a distraction so you can really connect with the emotion. If you look through our blog posts from real weddings you will see mostly color and the majority of bw images are from the getting ready portion of the day. We know the color scheme you choose for your wedding is of upmost importance and we strive to show the bright, vivid colors. However if you really love the bw and want a lot more converted, just let us know and we are happy to do so for you.

Are the photos we receive edited?

Yes we edit the photos so the are color corrected, cropped if needed, have the correct contrast, exposure and straightened if needed. We want the images you receive are print ready. We upload the images into a private online gallery and also mail you a flash drive with the high resolutions images.

Do you shoot same sex weddings?

Yes!!! A big fat yes!!!! We have shot several LGBT weddings, elopements, and engagements since 2013. Please feel free to look around our blog to see these weddings. We even went and photographed couples getting married at the Dallas courthouse on June 26, 2015 as a special reminder for them. We are huge advocates for equal rights and we treat everyone with the upmost respect.

What packages do you offer and how much?

All of our couples are different and have different needs for their wedding photography coverage,so all of our packages are custom designed to best fit what you are looking for.

This gives our couples a very diverse range of photos from their session.
