I’m Kalahan — a wedding and family photographer with over 16 years of experience documenting meaningful wedding days. For many years, weddings were the heart of my work. In more recent seasons, I stepped away from weddings to focus almost exclusively on family photography. That season shaped me in ways I didn’t expect. It deepened my understanding of what these days are truly about — not just a timeline or a ceremony, but families gathering to witness the beginning of a new family. That perspective has become central to the way I photograph weddings. I’m now genuinely excited to step back into wedding photography on a small, intentional scale, offering a limited number of weddings each year for couples in Eastern Washington. Serving locally allows me to approach wedding days with a calm, thoughtful presence — attentive to the relationships, quiet moments, and people who matter most.
Family photography remains the soul of my business, and it naturally shapes how I document wedding days: with care for legacy, connection, and the generations coming together to celebrate something new.
This collection is designed so you can enjoy your day knowing everything is being thoughtfully handled and nothing feels rushed. It includes a complimentary engagement session, giving us time to connect before your wedding day and helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. On your wedding day, a second photographer joins me, allowing us to capture the day from multiple perspectives and give careful attention to both the big moments and the quieter moments in between.
With 8 hours of coverage, your day has room to unfold naturally—from getting ready through the celebration at the end of the evening—
while we guide you gently and keep everything running smoothly.
Includes:
-8 hours of wedding day coverage
-Complimentary 1-hour engagement session

A beautiful fit for smaller weddings, simple celebrations, and elopements. This collection is fully customizable, so coverage is built around your day and what matters most to you—whether that’s portraits, your ceremony, or time spent celebrating with your closest people. I photograph these weddings personally, guiding you throughout the day so everything feels comfortable and unhurried. Small weddings often carry a closeness and sweetness that is truly special to photograph, and it’s always an honor to be part of them.
"Kalahan & Sean saved my life on my wedding day. They were truly the people that calmed us down, protected us from potential meltdowns (people crashing our first look photos, my makeup melting off completely, etc) and led us through things. We loved that Sean was with the guys while getting ready, and Kalahan with us girls! They both fit right in. They were not not only skilled photographers, but they really cared about our wellbeing and the rest of the bridal party! They make weddings a dream come true for the bride and groom through communication and truly served others well. They're leaders with good humor, they easily get along with every personality in the book.... AND they make everyone look good in photos. Sean and Kalahan are the definition of TEAM and it was such a great presence to have around!"
"Asking someone to capture the best day of your life is a big task; but Alex and I truly believe Kalahan and Sean did just that. From the point of first contact to the weeks post-wedding, Kalahan and Sean exceeded our expectations. They were always friendly, responsive, and patient. K&S also offer an “engagement session” which we loved! It was a great chance to see each other and share ideas about the months to come. When they arrived at our venue the day of they Kalahan and Sean were so compassionate and professional. On-time and ready to shoot! Throughout the entire day, they were patient when it came to slight changes in the schedule. Especially when it came to family portraits, Kalahan so understanding when it came to our last minute ideas. We LOVE how our pictures turned out. Kalahan and Sean went above and beyond and we would highly recommend them."
"The best wedding decision I made (with the exception of choosing my groom) was having Kalahan and Sean be our photographers! The entire experience working with them was perfect and even better than what I expected. They're very skilled and give great direction for taking great photos, and at the same time you'll feel comfortable with them and become friends (even for camera shy people). They were always on time, delivered on their commitments, creative with lighting and cold weather, and very encouraging. And, importantly, they captured the love between my husband and I, and the joy that we and our guests felt on our wedding day. Our engagement photos and wedding photos look AMAZING! We continuously have family and friends bring up how awesome our photos turned out. Definitely hire Kalahan and Sean to be your photographers!"
"10000+ stars from Mr and Mrs Starr 😍✨ Kalahan and Sean made our wedding day an absolute dream!! As a bride, from day one working with these two, I felt at ease knowing this big day we were all working so hard for would be beautifully and thoughtfully captured. Their presence at our wedding was truly invaluable. From bride and groom portraits to family photos, we all had a blast and more importantly felt completely stress free! (Who walks away smiling after extended family group photos?!… we did!! 🙋🏼♀️… and we are many!) I can’t recommend this power couple enough. You will be BLESSED to have them be a part of your forever day."
1. Do we have to take the engagement session?
Engagement sessions are included complimentary for a reason. While you are not required to use it, removing the engagement session does not change the price of your wedding collection. I truly believe this time together is what leads to such natural, connected wedding photos. Getting to know one another beforehand allows you to feel comfortable in front of my camera and helps the wedding day flow more seamlessly. I often describe the engagement session as a rehearsal for the big day. It sets the foundation for photographs that feel relaxed, genuine, and true to you.
2. When will we receive our photos? Do you offer sneak peeks?
Yes, sneak peeks are always included. As a former bride myself, I understand how much anticipation surrounds those first images, and quick delivery is something I prioritize. You can expect a selection of sneak peek images within 48 hours of your wedding day. Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within 30 days.
3. Do you travel for weddings?
At this time, I am exclusively serving Eastern Washington. I will make one exception per year for a wedding in the Portland or Vancouver area, as we have family there. With five little kids at home, extended travel isn’t something I’m able to offer right now. Thank you for understanding and respecting this season of life for our family.
4. Who will be our second photographer?
Second photography coverage is provided by either Sean or my sister, Kylee. Both are experienced, professional, and wonderful to work with. Which one joins me on your wedding day depends on what best suits our family for that particular date, as whoever is not photographing will be home with our kids. You are welcome to share your preference, and I will always do my best to honor it whenever possible.
5. What is the booking process?
To begin, please fill out the inquiry form or email me directly at info@kalahanandsean.com to confirm availability for your wedding date and year. If I am available, we will schedule a phone call or FaceTime to get to know one another and walk through any questions you may have. If you decide I am the right fit for your day, I will send over a contract to review and complete. To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and non refundable reservation deposit are required. ($1,000 for The Signature Collection, $1,500 for The Heirloom Collection, custom for the Intimate.) Once your contract and deposit are received, your date is officially booked and we can move forward with scheduling your engagement session. About two months before your wedding, I will send a detailed questionnaire to gather final details. Once completed, I am happy to provide a proposed photography timeline if needed. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding date.
6. Do you help with posing and direction?
Yes. My approach is well guided but natural. I will offer direction when needed while also leaving space for genuine moments to unfold. You can expect a balance of beautifully composed portraits and honest, in between moments throughout your day.
7. Do you photograph elopements or small weddings?
Yes. I offer a fully custom collection for elopements, small weddings, and celebrations with simplified timelines. Because every intimate wedding looks different, coverage is tailored to your day. Please reach out directly for availability and custom pricing.
8. Do you offer any add ons?
Yes. A limited number of add ons are available to further tailor your wedding coverage. These may include rehearsal dinner or welcome gathering coverage, expedited editing for faster gallery delivery, additional coverage time, or expanded second photographer coverage when available. All add ons are offered by request and are quoted separately based on availability and the needs of your wedding day.
9. Do you charge sales tax?
Yes. Washington State sales tax is already included in the total price of each wedding collection. There are no additional taxes added beyond your quoted collection price.
