About Black Pepper Photography
Chayil (Kyle)
Hello! My name is Chayil (pronounced just like Kyle), and I am a photographer and creative storyteller with a focus on weddings, elopements, and lifestyle portraits. Taking photos since 2016, I lives to document the stories of every lovely human I get to meet. My ideal clients are laugh-loving, sun-chasing, care-freers (bonus points if you're a foodie too). I love the Washington D.C. and Richmond area, but I'll go wherever your story begins.
My focus will always be on you. Your wedding day is not a photo shoot, but a celebration of a lifelong commitment to one another. My wish is to let your love story be at the forefront of our work together. I specialize in all things bright, colorful, and candid. "In the moment" is my specialty, with an emphasis on the real moments of your day. One of my brides told me, "You take pictures the way my brain sees the world," and there is no greater joy for me than documenting such priceless moments.

Stop scrolling, Chayil is where you need to be
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
Picture Perfect Photographer!
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. Our entire album was vibrant and perfectly captured the mood of the day. We cannot recommend Chayil and BPP enough. We plan on using her for future photo sessions. Anyone thinking of hiring her should do so.
Response from vendor•Apr 3, 2025ADDIEEEE YOU ARE TOO KIND! WHAT A JOY AND PRIVILEGE TO BE AT YOUR DAY! Forever thankful to you and Connor for trusting me with such important moments. XOXOXO!Our new life photographer!!
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.
Response from vendor•Apr 3, 2025Being at your special day was both a dream and a privilege. So thankful to you and Eric for showering me with so much love on such a momentous occasion. Sending all my love, and I can't wait for our next shoot!The Real Deal! For Real For Real!
Chayil moves through a wedding like an artist painting a masterpiece—effortlessly, passionately, and with an eye for the details that most of us would never think to notice. She creates a space where couples feel like themselves, guests feel celebrated, and, honestly, where I can just breathe because I know everything is being captured perfectly. It’s rare to find someone who blends professionalism with genuine warmth and creativity, but Chayil does it every single time. She’s more than a vendor to me. She’s a partner in making magic and bringing dreams to life. If you’re looking for someone who will turn your wedding memories into art, look no further.
Response from vendor•Apr 3, 2025You are so kind. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, friend. Grateful for every moment we get to collaborate!
