Kayleigh has been creative since the day she was born, though some of her designs in her childhood bedroom wouldn’t pass muster these days.

She loves color, texture, layers, and nothing basic.

Prior to working in the wedding industry, she was an environmental scientist and planner, officially leaving that career behind in 2020. She started in wedding industry as a photographer in 2016, and officially photographed her last wedding in 2026 so she could focus her attention fully on the Wild West Collective.

The Wild West Collective was born in November 2019 out of necessity and has grown into something she never imagined to be possible. After moving to Cody, Wyoming in 2018, she noticed a lack of infrastructure in place to host weddings. Never one to wait for someone else to do something, she decided to just do it herself and bought the first 20 farm tables and 120 cross back chairs. Those tables and chairs are still part of our collection, but that collection has grown into a 5,000 sq ft warehouse full of core rentals items and many unique + niche items.
