We are equally as passionate about intimate blink-and-they’re-gone moments on wedding days and photographing through moments that make you teary or the moments that make you laugh. We both feel so strongly that these moments are yours to revisit, not ours to recreate. We’re about being ready to photograph the shot the first time as real and honest as it was.

We feel immensely privileged to be entrusted with the task of capturing some of the most significant and meaningful moments of our clients' lives. As we go about our job, we are constantly on the lookout for those fleeting instances that hold immense significance but often go unnoticed. It is our mission to ensure that these moments are forever preserved, weaving together a beautiful and compelling narrative that our clients can revisit and cherish for years to come.
Our clients trust us to capture the essence of their love and commitment, and we take that trust very seriously. It is our goal to create a collection of photographs that will serve as a treasured keepsake for generations to come, reminding our clients of the love, joy, and warmth that surrounded them on their special days.
A photograph can hold a LIFETIME of memories
You + Us : Together
Hi, I'm Ashley! I am passionate about catching blink and they're gone moments. My work has been featured in numerous publications, including Junebug Weddings, Green Wedding Shoes, The Knot, Martha Stewart Weddings, and have received multiple awards for my work. I believe that photography should tell a story - and not just a staged story, a real one. I takes great pride in creating an atmosphere where families and couples can be themselves and come as they are. I am always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of my work and bring life to images.
Ashley Akin and I blended our businesses together in 2013 because where one of our strengths was, the other had a weakness. We blended those together to make Kay + Bee a successful, well-oiled machine to create a stress-free process for our couples.
I'm Ashley Knolla, a Wichita, Kansas based family & wedding photographer committed to documenting life as honestly as it unfolds for families and couples alike.
