Meet the Team
Since 2011, I’ve told breathtaking North Georgia love stories. I’m known for gathering floral springs from your florist for details photos without bothering you, for touching base with your DJ to find out when the best time for sunset photos might be, and for becoming best friends with every planner I meet!
Most of all, I believe your wedding isn’t a styled shoot for my portfolio, so your preferences are the ones that matter. This isn’t about doing things my way. It’s about helping you get everything you want without a single dang thing you don’t. Hate the idea of a first look? We’ll still create a timeline that doesn’t feel overstuffed. Nervous about couple’s portraits? We’ll get them in super fast while still giving you images you’ll want to hang in your home til you’re 110!
I just see wedding photography differently. And I bet you’ll never guess which “dream job” started me on my Atlanta wedding photography journey…
I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
Kayla
owner + lead photographer
If people from the North had southern charm and hospitality, that’s Steph. Originally from Michigan, she’s made Georgia home and loves raising a family in the South. Shes married with two kids and loves being able to be a stay at home mom while also pursuing her dream of being a business owner. She’s the kind of girl who finds joy in the little things: laughing with friends, sipping coffee on the porch, and soaking in sunshine any chance she gets. Steph loves to travel and has served with different ministries around the world, locations including Honduras, Dominican Republic, Brazil and Thailand. Most importantly, Stephanie loves Jesus—and that love shines through in everything she does. Her faith fuels her purpose, her joy, and the way she shows up to serve every couple with heart and intention.
Photography isn’t just a job—it’s her passion. On wedding days, Steph is more than the girl behind the camera. She’s your calm in the chaos, your cheerleader, your timeline wrangler, and your memory keeper. Her heart is to help you feel confident, cared for, and fully present—so you can soak in every moment while she captures it all.
Fun Fact: Ashley Tisdale is my doppelgänger. I’ve been stopped countless times in public over the last 20 years being told I look just like her. I’ve even signed autographs!

More about Kayla
Kayla captured our wedding weekend SO perfectly! I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how perfectly she captured the most special weekend for us. She was able to showcase every detail and most importantly the absolute joy we had celebrating with our closest friends and family. We will cherish these photos forever. These will be the ones that we hang on the walls and show decades from now about the best day beginning our lives as Mr. and Mrs. Kayla was there for all of it! We loved having her with us all day (weekend really). She made everyone feel so comfortable and had the BEST time in front of the lens. She captured all our candid moments and the most stunning portraits the photos are SO us and that is everything we could have ever wanted.

There aren’t enough positive words I could write about Kayla of Lane Albers Photography. I was lucky enough to watch her capture my friend’s wedding while in the market for a photographer. I have been in a handful of weddings and the photos portion of the day often seemed daunting and chaotic. Working with Kayla was a totally different experience! Kayla was calm, cool, collected, organized, and detail oriented, all while being upbeat and fun. It was a combination I had truly never seen until I witnessed her capture my friend’s wedding. We booked her the very next day and are SO happy we did!!

Hiring Kayla and her team was hands down the very best decision we made for our wedding. I don't have the words to describe how phenomenal Kayla and her team are. From the very beginning, she worked with my partner and I to make sure we were a good fit, that our vision for what we wanted in our photos aligned with her work, and that she got to know us as people, not just as clients. She met with us over a few calls and answered every single one of our questions (and there were a lot!) and truly cared to make sure she was our best fit for our wedding photographer.

I wish I could give more stars! I cannot say enough amazing things about Kayla. From the very beginning she has made everything so easy and organized! There was such a quick turn around time for both the engagement pictures and wedding photos, everyone was shocked by how quickly we got everything back! She made me feel so calm and relaxed on my wedding day, she kept things on time and was amazing at coordinating with other vendors. Don’t even get me started on how phenomenal the photos are!! We could not have asked for our day to be captured any more perfectly. We are absolutely in love with the photos and cannot thank Kayla enough. I can’t wait to use her for any special moments we will have in the future!

Kayla was an incredible photographer and was amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process! She makes you feel special throughout with little gifts or emails to let you know she is thinking of you which makes you feel one of a kind! She drove 2 hours for our engagement photos and helped chase down the best spots with the most patience and energy - we loved getting to know her before our wedding day. She made us excited about photos (we were nervous we would be awkward) and she made all the photos super fun/ funny so genuine laughs and smiles which made them look so good! On the wedding day Kayla was super organized and on top of it all and captured everything from the small to big things on our big day. She is kind, direct, detail-oriented, and very fun to work with and I could not recommend her more! We are loving all of our photos and the entire experience!
