a scrapbook of my favorite memories + words, a daily reminder that…

it will always be more than just photos

Chayil is heaven sent!!! She is beautiful both inside and out, and her artistry is amazing!!! I highly recommend her for your wedding!!! Her keen eye and creativity are unmatched. She did an outstanding job for my son and daughter-in-law this past weekend 11/01/25. She captured moments in the bridal suite and also with the groom before the ceremony, gave a few sneak peeks as she snapped and curated the photographs throughout the ceremony and the reception. She was professional and very easy to work with, with a fun personality. It felt like she was part of our family, everyone loved her, and so did I. Thank you Chayil for creating memories for Reggie and Jess and our family! Sincerely, Tara “Proud Momma” … Side note: We plan on contacting her very soon to secure her services again, this time for my upcoming elopement.

Chayil is nice, professional, personable, and the best decision we made for our wedding day. She smoothly handled any family issues that popped up, all while staying firm in what I wanted to happen. She is just amazing, and her team is on it! I will recommend Black Pepper to any and all who will listen. Top tier, 10/10.

5 stars is not even close to enough!!! Chayil is my new best friend. From the first message, she’s not only been super professional — she’s brought the most amazing energy to every interaction, she thinks of EVERYTHING so you don’t have to, and she really curates the best vibe to produce the most amazing pictures. I cannot overstate how wonderful she is — our entire bridal party adored her, and we got so many comments about how on top of it she was. If you’re looking to just relax and turn your brain off for your wedding, and for a seriously bubbly, charming, fun hype woman to bring out the best in you for your wedding album, look no further because Chayil is it! 1000 out of 10!

Chayil is a vibe machine. The day after our wedding, every compliment we received included her. She brought the party and helped us document our wedding expertly. She has an emotional superpower to know what you need to hear, when you need to hear it.

I literally cried looking over the photos taken of my wedding. I can feel the love through the images. That is probably the greatest gift a photographer can achieve.

Black Pepper Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fantastic - they were timely, professional, and personal, with an enthusiastic approach that made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of their work was simply stunning, with breathtaking, extraordinary, and timeless photos that captured every precious moment of our special day. Chayil, our photographer, took charge to help manage the multiple people in our wedding party and family when we were feeling overwhelmed, and executed our photography needs flawlessly. She was super friendly and funny to work with, making our day exciting and memorable. Chayil is a wonderful person who really dedicates herself to your special day and stops at nothing to capture exactly what you want. She's a true life photographer who captures every life milestone in photographs that will last a lifetime. Chayil was also incredibly supportive and willing to work with whatever we asked of her - she was honestly such an amazing guest and vendor, even getting people out on the dance floor and making everyone smile and laugh all night long. Everyone who attended our wedding still tells me how great Chayil was and how lucky we were to have her with us and capturing our special day.

I WOULD PAY THEM A MILLION BUCKS FOR HOW BEAUTIFULLY THEY CAPTURED OUR SPECIAL DAY IF I HAD THE MEANS TO DO SO.

We had an awesome wedding for several reasons, Chayil definitely being one of them! She was super friendly, professional, upbeat and overall helped everyone have a great time. I loved having a photographer that I felt confident in for every reason a bride wants to feel confident: great communication, understanding of my photo "wish list," timing, giving the right instructions to the group, etc.

Also, the photos are beautiful and were available online to view and download reasonably quickly after our wedding date. I highly recommend Chayil and Black Pepper Photography to anyone getting married or having an event — she's exceptional!

Chayil was incredible! She is super sweet, makes an effort to get to know you, and makes the shoot very easy and comfortable. She truly wants to do whatever will make her clients happy, and she finds a way to get the shots you want. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy and excited with how our wedding photos turned out! We LOVE them and will forever obsess over them! She truly wants to do whatever will make her clients happy!

She is the best. She is responsive, has a great eye, and has the most chill and fun energy — she made taking photos fun (for two people who don’t really like taking photos!!)

Chayil adds to the event in the best way and doesn’t merely observe it. We “adopted” Chayil into our family - that’s how much we love her.

AND O.M.G!!!!! I LOVE the photos!!! Thank you SO much for being so awesome!

I cannot say enough good things about Chayil and her photography! She was one of the most outgoing and bubbly photographers I have worked with. The photos came looking absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part is that all of our photos look natural and perfectly capture our relationship. if i could give Chayil more than 5 stars, I would!
