Meet Kim Kallinger - Your Coeur d’Alene Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Kim Kallinger
I value natural light, stunning landscapes, and candid moments, with a preference for weddings, elopements, and families.
I am known for my signature bridal portraits set in wild, sweeping landscapes. I believe in capturing not just the events of a wedding, but the heart and soul of each moment - your wedding day isn’t about perfect poses or forced smiles, it’s about the REAL moments and raw emotion. Through a blend of artistic vision, documentary style, subtle guidance, and thoughtful composition, my images are clean, true to life, full of movement, energy, emotion, and style
Artist. Dog mom. In love with the video guy.

Our photos came out AMAZING! The light!!! Stunning
Kim and her team did an amazing job! I hate pictures and my husband does too. It was the part of our wedding I wasn't excited about. Our photos came out AMAZING! The light!!! Stunning. Kim made everyone feel at ease and was such professional. Super excited to see our video. If you are looking for a photographer, look no farther.

Kim made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process
This is the wedding photography team you've been looking for! My partner and I wanted photos that not only captured our multi-day celebration, but that felt like an honest representation of who we are–without taking away from the experience of the wedding itself. Kim and her team took beautiful photos (and stunning video footage), but more importantly, made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They captured the landscape, the small details, the vibe, the love of our family and friends, and of course, my now-husband and me. Thank you Kim and Wild Bokeh team!!

Kim will go above and beyond for you
Kim was such a pleasure to work with! I am NOT good in front of the camera. I can get really awkward and overall just make weird faces but Kim helped me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She helped pose me and my husband and she even helped out with our wedding timeline! Which was so amazing of her! On the wedding day her and her team were THE best. There’s absolutely no doubt that Kim will go above and beyond for you on your wedding day!

I love every single picture.
I love every single picture. I’m not sure if Kim already shared these with you all (Driftwood Point Events Team)… but essentially she’s the most awesome photographer ever — as you’ll be able to tell from the pictures. She scoped out the place and knew exactly where the best shots would be and the timing of the sun, etc. I usually despise pictures of myself, but I actually liked a LOT of these and the whole gallery makes me super happy. She did an AWESOME job.
You should move Kim to the top of your recommendations! :)
