About

I'm a full time wedding photographer based in the central coast of California. I love traveling, dogs, fried food, and warm weather. I became a wedding photographer because I want to be around people who are crazy in love. I would describe my style as bright, candid, and romantic. I love catching little love glances, gentle pats on the back, and everything in between. I firmly believe that love is an adventure and the wedding day is just the first page of your story.

BEST Photographer!!

There are not enough kind words in the world to describe how wonderful Kelley is to work with. Kelley truly went above and beyond every step of the way to capture our wedding day and our love as a couple. Kelley’s joy and passion for her craft shined all throughout the day and helped make sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves all day long.

It was clear to us from the moment that we saw Kelley’s work that we would be lucky to have her as our photographer for our wedding and we are so happy that we got to work with her. She made sure that we got every photo we wanted efficiently and her creativity and expertise led us to perfect photos that we didn’t even know we needed. Kelley made everyone at our wedding feel seen and everyone we talked to praised her for the great work she did. We were thrilled with the first batch of photos that we got within days of our wedding and couldn’t believe how beautiful they turned out. We can’t wait to look at every photo for years to come.

As great of a photographer as she is, Kelley is an even better person. She brought so much joy throughout the entire day and truly felt like a longtime friend from the first photo of the day. We’ll always value our time spent with Kelley during our wedding and feel so lucky that we will always have her photos to commemorate our special day - the fun memories we shared with her are a very special bonus.

If you are looking for a photographer to capture every moment of your special event, there is no doubt in our mind that Kelley is the perfect person to work with. We are so thankful that we worked with her and couldn’t imagine our wedding with anyone else. Thank you, Kelley!

A true 10/10, no notes.

Kelley was an absolute angel sent from the gods. Truly.

When choosing a wedding photographer, yes, photography style matters. But I would argue that personality and vibe matter just as much, if not more. And let me tell you, Kelley was a grand slam in every way.

From our very first intro call, we immediately clicked. I instantly felt at ease knowing she wasn’t going to let photos dictate our wedding day or make anything feel stressful. Her approach was exactly what we wanted. Her job was to capture the magic of the day, not interrupt it. And she did that flawlessly.

I’ve been in weddings where family photos turn into chaos and tension. We have a big family with even bigger personalities, and Kelley absolutely crushed it. She kept everyone moving, organized, and somehow laughing the entire time. She led with humor and grace, and trust me, that's no small feat.

Beyond the camera, she showed up for us in ways that went far beyond her role. She helped fix my dress when it broke. She made our bride and groom portraits feel natural and relaxed. Nothing felt forced. Nothing felt rushed.

Because of Kelley, I will get to relive our entire wedding weekend forever. The photos she captured are stunning, emotional, and so deeply us. I could go on and on, but simply put, she is a 10 out of 10. We are forever grateful for her and could not recommend her more highly.

Loved our photos

Kelley was a wonderful wedding photographer. She made us feel comfortable and gave us just the right amount of guidance to get some really exceptional pictures. I'm very glad Kelley was there to capture the moment for us!

Book Kelley Now!

Could not recommend Kelley enough! She captured both our engagement shoot in Washington DC and our wedding day in Malibu. We LOVE all our pictures! She was great at directing for those couples that may need a little push (*ahem* us) and got all our pictures back to us so quickly. She also was a boss at directing all our group photos on the day of the weddings with rather large wedding parties and families. 10/10 recommend!

The Best Photographer

Where do I begin?! My husband and I absolutely loved working with Kelley. We met Kelley for the first time when she took our engagement photos and the moment we spoke for the first time, I felt like I had known her for years. I was a little apprehensive at first because I usually don’t like taking pictures, especially for an extended period of time. Kelley has totally changed my perspective. Throughout the entire shoot, Kelley made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and feeling like ourselves. The next time we saw Kelley in person was our wedding day a few months later. I had the same experience as the first. Kelley is unlike any other photographer I’ve met. Her pictures are just GORGEOUS and they completely capture the feelings and emotions that were felt at our wedding. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. We are so thankful for Kelley!🤍

Super fun and professional

Working with Kelley was great, she was responsive, easy to get in touch with. She checked in with me which was so helpful, as I was overwhelmed with planning.

The day of she was prompt, professional and super easy to work with and made photos really fun. She sent over some sneak peeks the day of the wedding so I could share with family and friends and returned the rest of our photos quickly.

We LOVE the images and can't stop looking at them. She was wonderful, I highly recommend her.

I 100% recommend Kelley for your wedding!

You won't regret having Kelley by your side if you hire her for your special day, trust me! She is a very talented professional, yet she makes you feel like you have been friends for a long time! I seriously thank the Heavens we found and chose Kelley as our wedding photographer because she is amazing! Not only was she super kind and fun to talk to, she also made us feel comfortable and kept us on schedule throughout the day. After she left, everyone in our family kept commenting on how nice she was. She gave great direction, and she captured the most beautiful shots in our location. The day seemed to fly by in a blur of chaos but all of our photos have captured special still moments that make everything appear so peaceful, fun, and magical.

I know it sounds silly, but she is actually the best photographer ever!

Kelley was always on top of everything, right from the beginning. We had a long talk with her about who we were and what we were looking for. We told her we can be a difficult couple to photograph. My husband and I are both scientists, and unfortunately we tend to be quite awkward, especially when trying to be lovey dovey in front of a stranger. But with Kelley we instantly felt comfortable, she has such a bubbly and genuine personality, we were laughing with her like she was an old friend. In addition to her being super easy to open up around and work with, she is INCREDIBLY talented. In the posed shots, she made us look like models, and the candid shots made me cry when looking at them. All of the photos are well balanced and the colors are crisp and timeless. And somehow she managed to get all of these amazing photos back to us in record time, I have heard horror stories of couples not getting their photos back until 6 months after the wedding, but I was shocked to see our full album ready in my inbox just a short while after the wedding. Kelley was 10 out 10 in every aspect of a wedding photographer, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

AMAZING to work with!

My husband and I got really lucky having Kelley as our wedding photographer. The moment we talked to her we instantly knew that she was the person we wanted to work with. She was so friendly, so genuinely kind, and really easy to communicate with. Throughout our planning process, Kelley never skipped a beat keeping us in the loop and the day of our wedding I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our favorite moments! My husband and I aren't the most photogenic folks out there, but with Kelley every moment captured was SO EASY to take. She made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, and ultimately made us feel even MORE loved on our special day. She went over and beyond and we absolutely love every photo that was taken.

Beautiful Photography and Wonderful Professional

I can’t thank Kelley enough for her gorgeous photos, wonderful professionalism, and incredible support. If it sounds like I am gushing - I am!!! I had found Kelley through the Knot and loved her work immediately. I was planning a destination wedding in California while living in Portland, Oregon. I was also putting together a wedding in five months! I needed to be able to rely on my vendors. From the start, Kelley rescued me from an awful wedding planner and connected me to almost all of my other vendors and a new wedding planner. She literally helped me put together a dream team of vendors that made my wedding day a breeze and a beautiful event!

My husband and I hate having our pictures taken. In both the engagement session and the actual wedding day, Kelley was able to make my husband and I feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was able to capture our personalities and our love for each other. Our pictures are beautiful and have a natural feel to them! In fact, in all of the photos Kelley was able to coach my wedding party and family members into being comfortable in front of the camera. She literally was able to capture everyone “with their best faces on.” The candid photos from the wedding reception were also terrific and captured so many of our guests enjoying the celebration. In summary, Kelley was incredible and I loved working with her!
