For the Nostalgic

Meet Kay & Derek
Kay Kroshus is a seasoned wedding photographer with over fifteen years of experience capturing events across Lake Tahoe, California, and select destinations.

Known for her signature aesthetic—soulful imagery and clean compositions—Kay’s approach is both intuitive and editorial. She offers gentle guidance when needed, but her true gift lies in capturing the natural rhythm of the day and the real, unspoken moments that unfold.

Kay’s work is sought after by couple's who lead full, successful lives—often navigating fast-paced careers—yet intentionally make space for what matters most. They’re drawn to experiences that feel grounded, personal, and meaningful, and seek photography that captures not just how it looked, but how it felt. Her couples have been featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, US Weekly, Wedding Chicks, & more.

Every wedding Kay photographs is captured alongside her husband, Derek. Together, they document each celebration with a natural rhythm that comes from years of partnership—both at home and behind the lens.

Founder, Photographer

Outside of photography, you’ll find Kay barefoot in the garden, wandering the forest for a dose of nature therapy, stretching it out in a quiet Pilates session, or dancing in the kitchen with her husband and three kids. She's building an intentional and nourishing life that feels like home.

Photographer, Drone Pilot

When he’s not shooting alongside Kay, Derek’s usually in the mountains, rallying on the tennis court, or cooking something delicious for the family. He's a seriously good cook! Laid-back but endlessly curious, he’s the kind of person who can talk to anyone about just about anything.
