About Wild Hearts
Wild Hearts was the creation of two friends - Kamelia & Allyson, who saw weddings through the lens of the unique and beautiful personalities of each couple. This perspective really impacts the approach to each wedding and couple, creating a personal experience tailored to best capturing each love story. The business evolved over time, with Kamelia taking over as full time owner and lead photographer, but the ultimate goal stayed the same. Wild Hearts is dedicated to delivering incredible snapshots of every true emotion and important memory for our couples. Every kind of love deserves to be celebrated and cherished and we’re here for it!
Our Style
The Wild Hearts team is here to make your day go as seamlessly as possible. Our style combines directing you with prompts for some classically posed photos, to blending into the background to capture those authentic candid moments. It is always our top priority to make sure our couples are comfortable and relaxed, being present in the moment, and having the time of their lives together. We love structure as much as we love going with the flow, you need the best of both worlds to capture every moment perfectly.
From first inquiries to sending you your final gallery, we are here for you and with you every step of the way.
We love what we do, and we are looking forward to creating something awesome with you!
About Kamelia
My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career in event and wedding photography. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys!
All the while, I have been a Journalism major, mom of 3 wonderful teenagers, dog mom to 2 English bulldogs, have had 3 solo gallery shows of my work as well as featured in various other gallery shows. So you could say I enjoy a bit of chaos. The images I love creating the most are the ones that capture real life moments and emotions.
Yes I am organized as hell when it comes to event photography, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!
I love nothing better than a great love story,
and can’t wait to capture yours!
“Kamelia is so dedicated to her work and making sure you’re comfortable as a bride, get all the photos you want, anywhere and anything!”
“Working with Kamelia was amazing. I’ve been told that taking pictures on your wedding day is demanding, exhausting, and dreaded. This is not the experience you will have when working with Wild Hearts. The photos was one of my favorite experiences on my wedding day. From the first meeting to the final product I could not have been more happy with my experience with
Wild Hearts!”
“We feel so lucky to have had such an amazing experience with Wild Hearts. We both didn’t want anything cliche and they somehow captured our personalities and every special moment without making it feel forced. I can’t recommend them enough. Everyday I find a new photo I love more!”
Some of my favorite things on a wedding day include:
Intimate first looks / couples who bring their personalities and style / vibrant colors and fun accents / including pets in the day /
bridal parties that understand the assignment / perfect golden hour light / parent dances that make me cry / 90’s dance music
Some of my favorite things to do when I’m not shooting weddings:
Motorcycle rides with my husband / cozying up in front of the fireplace with a good book / writing poetry and performing at open mics / introducing my kids to my favorite movies and music / going to shows / making art
