We met and eventually fell in love in 2015 over our obsession with music, photography, coffee and spontaneous road trips along the west coast. We’re currently married and living in Nashville, TN with our beautiful daughters, Lyric Indie and Emery Fae.
Now why are we called Clay & Kaly? Clay is the first four letters of Danielo’s middle name, Claydean. And Kaly is the first 4 letters of Lillian’s maiden last name, Kalyuzhnyy. Both names have a deep, special tie to our heritages, and oddly enough, the full translation of Kalyuzhnyy is literally mud, or clay.
Now that you know a little bit about us, let’s hang! We’re here to take the stress off you. Whether you’re looking for an engagement photographer or a wedding photographer, we’re your best option to make things as seamless as possible. So what are you waiting for?

DANIELO: Our California roadtrips down the coast to Disneyland. We always spent three days at the parks and our oldest always loved it!
LILLY: My mom and sisters plane broke down in Rwanda. We ended up taking a bus to the neighboring country, Uganda, where we lived and served at an orphanage for a month. Best. Time. Ever.
LILLY: I wanted to help other people. I wasn't sure how I'd do it, but I really wanted to travel across the world and give back.
DANIELO: I wanted to be a professional basketball player! I loved sports and was very active growing up.
LILLY: Life. Right now. I am married to a goofball and love my kids so much. Moving across country is hard. Leaving friends and family is hard. Building a business is hard. But I've never felt more fulfilled.
DANIELO: My family. It's better than I could have ever imagined, and I hope to continue to make them proud!
LILLY: California, New Mexico, Texas and Tennessee.
DANILEO: Hawaii, Phillipines, New Mexico, California and Tennessee.
