• McKenna & Tristan - 2022

    WOW! Kiara is truly outstanding. Not only did she go above and beyond to make my wedding day easier, she captured the most beautiful photos of us. Unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Choosing Indwell was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding (and engagement photos) and I can’t say enough good things about them. If you’re lucky enough to snag a spot on their calendar, DO IT! You will not regret it. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

  • Clay & Becca - 2021

    Not only did Indwell exceed our expectations and hopes with the quality of photo and videos, but they have become dear friends of my wife and I. Kiara and David are so unbelievably professional yet warm. They made us feel like we were able to naturally model during the engagement shoot despite that not being anywhere near our forte! They also were like ninjas during the wedding and somehow got amazing photos without being obtrusive WHATSOEVER. LIKE HOW?!?

    All I can say is if you’re considering booking photographer/videographers for your wedding or engagement shoot… look no further than these beautiful souls that run Indwell, you won’t regret it.

  • McKenzie & Cole - 2021

    Hiring Kiara will be the best decision you make. From the beginning of initial inquiry, all the way to post-wedding sneak peeks - Kiara has always been prompt, professional, kind, patient, authentic, grounded, and personable. We had to postpone our wedding 1 year due to Covid, and Kiara made that process incredibly easy.

    I think what I love most is how easy she makes it. She creates this intimacy in a crowd and brings such authenticity and personality to her photos. Kiara is incredibly talented. At our wedding, she hopped around like a shadow capturing all the moments - big and small. My husband and I had been together 9 years before getting married, and Kiara somehow captured our love story in a 6-hour time frame.

    All I can say is hire her. We love her and will sing her praises from now until forever. You won’t regret it.

  • Chloe & Ben - 2022

    Five stars are not enough! Kiara was so wonderful to work with from beginning to end during our wedding and delivered stunning photos that perfectly captured the day. We’ll love these photos for decades to come!

    Aside from being a fantastic photographer, she went absolutely above and beyond at our wedding. She did everything from tracking the rapidly changing Oregon weather which ensured we could get married in our planned ceremony location, helping my husband tie his bow tie, how to sign our marriage license, to literally giving me her coat in-between photos so that I could stay warm in my dress. Everyone at our wedding kept commenting on how amazing she was and how great she was to work with. We couldn’t have done our day without her and appreciate her so much! Highly highly recommend Indwell.

  • Shelby & Garrett - 2017

    Hiring Indwell to take our wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made -- we still talk about how lucky we were to find them! Kiara was more than our wedding photographer -- she became our friend and someone I could go to with questions about anything wedding. My husband and I had never been in front of a camera before and she made us feel so comfortable and really was able to capture us as a couple naturally. She goes above and beyond for her clients and her passion for photography and sentimental nature showed in our interactions and in our photos. If you're looking for an intimate, personable, and beautiful wedding photography experience, I would 15/10 recommend Indwell.

  • Andria & Silvano - 2015

    When planning our wedding, we agreed that photography was one of the few aspects of the wedding that was very important to us as this is the aspect that lasts a lifetime (other than our marriage, of course). We are a couple that enjoys sentiment and the joy of a moment, so choosing a photographer like Kiara was the perfect decision. Kiara is a photographer that captures precious moments, rather than manufacture them. We love our wedding photos because we can link each photo with the emotion, thought, memory and the purpose of the day as many of the photos are candid shots that perfectly reflect us as a couple. As a photographer, Kiara is very easy going. She not only ensured that the bridal party felt as comfortable as possible, but that we all had a good time during our shoot. She can turn a simple area into the perfect place that would match our attire, our wedding theme and our relationship. Kiara is incredibly skilled at what she does, and we would recommend her for any occasion.

  • Sara and Russel - 2018

    At the start of our photographer search, I was fairly indifferent to getting our photos taken for our wedding. I knew it was an important part of the day and being able to have keepsakes of the wonderful event is important, but I'm not terribly photogenic and am really uncomfortable being photographed (think Chandler from Friends).After speaking with at least ten photographers we found Indwell and Kiara. Our first interaction was via email and she was incredibly kind and accommodating. To help us get our sea legs and to meet her in person we arranged an outdoor engagement photo shoot. The day we selected ended up having miserable weather with an ice/snowstorm the day before. Our original outdoor location was closed due to unsafe conditions and we thought we would have to cancel, but Kiara scoped out a backup location and we decided to get together. Despite the rain/sleet/ice and freezing temperature, the shoot went on and we honestly had so much fun. I'm honestly still surprised by how comfortable and easy it was to take photos with Kiara. Literally a day later we got to see the results and they were amazing. Somehow Kiara managed to capture our joy in being together and I'm truly grateful! As a couple we don't have many photos together so it's really special to now have so many that I love.

  • Angela & Mike - 2017

    My husband and I are in love with our wedding photos! We came from Sydney to elope in Las Vegas, and as none of our friends or family would be there we felt it was important to have some awesome photos that would capture our experience so it could still be shared with loved ones.

    I met Kiara a few years back for a photo shoot in Sydney. Since then she has been one of my favourite photographers to work with, and knowing that she specialises in wedding photography and resides in the States, it seemed like a no brainer to contact her straight away.

    The whole experience with Kiara was amazing; from organising during the lead up to the wedding, to the actual wedding day and then receiving the photos so soon after. Kiara and David made us feel super comfortable and as a result the photos turned out very organic and natural. They also came with a whole lot of ideas for places to go for the day after shoot as they were very familiar with the area. We trusted them to know what would work best so it left us very little to worry about and organise.

    The photos turned out so beautiful and are exactly what we had hoped for. Kiara and David did an amazing job at capturing our personalities and quirky little interactions. Every time we run into someone we haven’t seen since the wedding they will comment about how awesome the wedding photos are and how it looked like so much fun. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that we’d be able to keep forever and will continue to look back on until our old age. Thank you so so much!

  • Kaitlyn & Ryan - 2017

    David and Kiara of Indwell weddings flew all the way to the Upstate New York city of Syracuse to shoot our wedding and we are very glad that they did. We were very impressed with the quality of the photographs they took. So, it turns out, was our florist, who looks at more wedding pictures than we do, so don't take it from us, take it from him.

    A major contributing factor in the quality of the pictures was the experience of taking them with David and Kiara. Instead of feeling staged, forced, or contrived, as I was afraid a wedding photo shoot might, it was lovely to spend time with them as they authentically shared in our joy. I was also pleased that they had a sense of the gravity of the occasion. A wedding is not simply a party, it is a solemn promise of enduring love surpassed in depth only by the love of God. David and Kiara understood this and so they were able to capture not just our wedding but our love. They are serious artists and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants art to remind them not only of the events but of the meaning and purpose of their wedding.

  • Sivan & Jamey - 2018

    Wish I could give her more than five stars. Kiara was phenomenal to work with. We wanted someone for our wedding whom we could be open and honest in front of for our private photos and who would be discreet during other times. We loved working with Kiara. Not only is she extremely talented but her personality is what really won us over. The first time we met her was with her husband and she spent a long time getting to know us before our engagement shoot so when the day came we felt like we knew her already. During our private photos she helped us feel comfortable and like we could be ourselves with each other. She was there during some of our most intimate times of the day since we chose to do vows in private. We were so happy we chose someone who we could completely let go in front of. During the ceremony and receptions she captured wonderful photos without disrupting the flow or taking our guests out of the moment. We really loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a personal and talented wedding photographer.

  • Jesse & Raquel - 2017

    Kiara and David are amazing! They photographed our wedding and we are absolutely stunned by how beautiful and dreamy these pictures turned out. They made us feel so comfortable that we sometimes even forgot the cameras were there. They were attentive and accommodating to our every need. They ran around with us as the rain kept coming and going throughout the day, and captured the most amazing rain/shine pictures. They were prepared too, covering us with umbrellas and escorting us to their car to drive us to different locations so we wouldn't get too wet. Kiara even helped me with my dress, retying the corset back and putting safety pins under my dress when some of the ruffles started to unstitch. Could not imagine a better, more down-to-earth, joyful pair of people to photograph our special day. THANK YOU!

  • Aubrey & Easton - 2019

    What is there to say about Indwell besides absolutely AMAZING! We have worked with Kiara and David for almost 4 years now. They have taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, and now family photos. Each and every time they have made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. It's been amazing to be able to work with them as our lives have changed and our family has grown. I love how beautiful and timeless every single photo is. Not only are they beyond professional and exceptional, but they also make you feel like family and are truly invested in you and giving you the best photos possible. We will be using them as our photographers to capture our ever-evolving love and family for as long as they will have us.

    Trust me and book them, you will be overjoyed with them every step of the way!

  • Julianna & Luke - 2014

    Kiara’s photos encapsulated every aspect of our wedding day perfectly. She was professional and knew exactly what we wanted without us even having to tell her.

    Instead of merely documenting the occasion, Kiara was creative in her approach and captured the overall mood and atmosphere of the day in her work. Looking back at the photos, it seemed as though she was everywhere at once, capturing candid moments without us even noticing her presence. She was unintrusive and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    Kiara went above and beyond in her preparation, emailing us back and forth with suggestions and meeting up with us before our big day to scope out the venue. She had a clear vision of the style we wanted and she helped us achieve this through her intuitive editing skills. She was fast to give us teaser shots and the rest of the photos followed very soon after. Kiara’s photos are stunning and every time we show them to friends and family, they can’t stop gushing over them.

    Many long nights were spent painstakingly planning for the wedding, but the day itself flew by in an instant. We knew this would be the case, so choosing a good photographer that could capture every moment was important to us. Photos last a lifetime, so it is important to invest in someone that you can trust. We could not be happier with Kiara’s photos and we highly recommend her for any occasion.

  • Molly & Ashkaan - 2020

    Hire them. Besides my groom- they were the best decision I have ever made.

    Gosh, where do I start? I hired Kiara as my wedding photographer in July 2019 for my Sept 2020 wedding. From the beginning, we were drawn to how they naturally captured people and their surroundings while not overly editing. She has a real ability to make people comfortable and it shows in her work. Communicating and scheduling was easy and professional, and they are so timely with their responses!

    Then COVID happened. Woof. Kiara immediately reached out to check on us and offered so much support and friendship (I cried when I read her text). This is where this review of 5/5 stars does not seem like enough- Kiara went above and beyond. As we navigated postponing our larger celebration to next year, she helped us reframe and re-plan an intimate celebration with family to become our dream scenario, reminding us of what really matters and holding hope when we had lost ours. She essentially morphed into wedding planner/ photographer/ friend/ and eventually florist (brb crying again) to help me with all of the details and things I would not have even thought of without her. On the actual wedding day, I didn’t even feel like we had hired her and David- it was more like our friends were hanging around and my husband (who is normally so awkward for photos) was completely relaxed. So grateful to have had them on our team and cannot imagine having to go through this mess of a year with anyone else. My new advice for anyone wedding planning is to hire people who treat you like people. Oh, and our photos are actually a dream.

  • Cindy & Max - 2018

    When it came to our wedding day, photography/videography was one of the most important elements for us. We wanted something that directly reflected our love story and who we are as a couple. Photographs that somehow made our memories/feelings come back to life, regardless of how much time has passed. Those are pretty high expectations if you ask me, but Kiara and David exceeded all of them. From the engagement session, our elopement, to the wedding day, Kiara made us feel confident, beautiful and most of all comfortable. She took her time, had a TON of patience, and went above and beyond while trying to get to know us and making sure she was reflecting 'us' in every photograph. Throughout the entire process she was prompt with responses and made sure we felt at ease prior to and during the wedding. Also, the turn around time was outstanding from when the pictures were captured to when we received the full edited versions of them. I genuinely cannot say enough GOOD THINGS about Indwell Weddings. Between their kindness, their fun personalities, and their passion for not only the photography, but the couples who they capture; Kiara and David have an insane eye & ability to bring emotion to life within their work. I would recommend them to anyone, not just as a photographer, but as a lifelong friend! Thank you Kiara & David for everything! We are so SO lucky to have had you as part of our day!

  • Van & Rob - 2018

    Kiara and David are exactly the people you want to photograph you and the special moments of your life. The photos you'll receive are instantly something you'll cherish and want to share with friends and family. They both are so warm and sweet, you'll feel like a friend is photographing you!

  • Dotti & Elvins - 2017

    Kiara and David did a great job shooting our wedding in Orange County. The photos that they captured for us included your expected stills and portraits, but also intimate moments, spontaneous laughter, and beautiful shots. Their care for their clients is palpable, and we're so thankful they were able to capture our big day!

  • Hailey & Jesse - 2022

    Absolutely the best wedding photographer. She was a pleasure to work with, responded to my many questions, and essentially organized an entire wedding timeline for us. She kept the day really relaxed and even made an entire bridesmaid bouquet when we were one short. The pictures are stunning, and many of my friends have said they're the best wedding photos they've seen. I couldn't recommend Indwell more highly!

  • Katie & Brian - 2021

    Kiara & David were one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning! After searching online in-depth, there was no question I wanted to go with them. Our wedding was outside and in harsh light with shadows from trees etc and I could see by their previous work how amazing they fought those elements and made the photos look like an effortless dream! Then of course we met them and they were just the absolute best/ kindest people!!! They were so helpful and absolutely delivered beyond what I could even imagine for our wedding photos. Not to mention, they gave us our full wedding album within a week of the actual wedding day and we got to look at them during our honeymoon!!! It was all just so surreal. Thank you so much Indwellweddings! We are forever grateful.

  • Taylor & Colin - 2021

    We absolutely loved working with Indwell Weddings! Our engagement photos turned out so, so beautiful and natural - I couldn’t wait to frame them. Kiara made us feel so comfortable and gave excellent direction - we never felt like we didn’t know what to do with our hands. We haven’t had our wedding yet, but I can’t wait to see those photos now that I know how amazing they are! Kiara has been so helpful as we have gone through the planning rollercoaster, giving us tons of insider tips and suggestions. She has become my go-to person when I’m unsure about a vendor or a key wedding decision and we are so glad to have her in our corner. I feel so lucky to know that not only do we have photos we’ll cherish forever, we also have a new trusted friend who is an expert on all things weddings!!

  • Katie & Joe - 2022

    We absolutely LOVED working with Kiara at Indwell for our engagement and wedding photos. Kiara is so talented - not only did all of our photos turn out more amazing than we could've ever hoped, she was also great at helping us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! We were so at ease working with her which really helped us be in the moment and enjoy every second. This absolutely shines through the photos!

    Indwell Weddings also sent us a pack of their custom-made connection cards - cards with questions and sayings to share with your partner. We did these a few times leading up to our wedding which helped us feel even closer and connected during such an important time of our lives!

    Although we don't live in OR, we'll absolutely seek out another opportunity to work with Kiara again!
