“Kannetha’s photos make us feel both beautiful and authentically like ourselves, while also capturing the joy and energy of our community. Her style is unique and will make you feel like your wedding photos are one of a kind. While she is skilled at photographing posed moments, she is especially talented at illustrating the radiance and realness of candid moments, too. I can imagine this is particularly challenging especially when working in film, and I adore those photos because they make me feel like I'm back in my memories of a day that was enormously special to me and my partner.”

"We wanted the wedding photography to be shot all on film, with an intimate, documentary style feel. From start to finish, Kannetha was incredible to work with as our wedding photographer. She was accommodating, attentive, and thoughtful regarding our requests and our vision for the day. On the day of the wedding, Kannetha arrived and immediately put everyone around her at ease. She was patient, kind, and clear in her direction. She also remained flexible and understanding at certain points in the day when we needed to shift the priority of certain photos.”

"As a creative couple, we had a clear idea of what we were looking for (and not looking for) in a photographer. We prioritized someone whose artist identity is rooted in authentically capturing moments and energy, not specifically weddings. We hired Kannetha without meeting her, but based on her work: her understated approach and celebration of individuality. We weren’t disappointed and her images are some of our favorite from a special very special season of life."
