  The experience was amazing and so thoughtful

  I have known Kelly for a few years now, working together at GSB and she was always such a joy! And of course seeing her photos which are amazing but realizing when I wanted her to be my photographer for my wedding but she was sadly in Florida but I messaged her on a whim and she said she would be available! I was so happy. She handled our engagement pictures so wonderfully. Memories that will definitely last a lifetime. And our wedding day she was so positive and upbeat - made all the photo taking fun and not so repetitive. I highly recommend her for any photography needs! We absolutely adore our photos and are so happy with Kelly’s work

  Best wedding photographer ever!

  Kel was EVERYTHING we could have hoped for! She was so real and kind and on top of her sh*t! Her pictures came out amazing! The morning after our wedding there was a sneak peak album waiting in our inbox before I had even had my coffee. We loved interacting with her, both virtually and in person. She listened to our wants and needs and also took some creative liberties to TRULY capture our big weekend. She was flexible in working with us and she made the process sooooo easy. I was nervous about being the center of attention or feeling like I would have to pose but she had us laughing and comfortable the whole time. You seriously would be soo lucky to snag Kel for any occasion. She rocks and I hope to be connected to her for a long time!

  Talented, Friendly, and Fun!

  Words cannot describe how happy and thankful we are that was Kelly was by our side to capture our wedding day! She exceeded our expectations and played more than the role of photographer. She recommended vendors, checked in on us throughout the planning process, and was always willing to help answer questions.
  
  Kelly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and brought out the best out in us. She worked tirelessly the entire weekend, from scoping out the site the day before to capturing the day to staying up to all hours of the night to prepare a sneak peek album. The photos are more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!

  Phenomenal and fun!

  Kelly has taken an abundance of photos for myself and my family. She is always professional, kind, silly and welcoming! She has a great eye and will do all she can to ensure you are satisfied with your pictures. The galleries she sends out are so well organized and edited. I could go on and on, but you should just book her already!!!!

  Incredible!

  I’ve had the privilege of watching Kelly’s work firsthand at my sister’s wedding in 2017 when she was still early in her career to this year at my own wedding in 2021. To see the growth she has shown in her abilities as well as the work she’s capable of is astounding. I seriously can’t speak highly enough of one person and am grateful for the photos, moments, and memories she captured!

  The most beautiful day

  Kelly perfectly captured the feeling of our wedding day in the photos she took. She has a lovely, warm disposition that puts everyone at ease, and an energy that is fun to be around! We laughed and celebrated all day with her, and the photos are truly breathtaking. We will love them forever!!

  House Warming Photos

  I’ve worked with Kelly on a number of occasions for many years. 10 years ago she photographed my senior pictures, she photographed my fiancé and I when we moved into our new house, and I have had the pleasure of working alongside with her for a number of weddings as well as styled shoots. Kelly is professional and makes being photographed a breeze. Which is so hard with my fiancé, as he is so shy being in front of the camera. 10/10 recommend Kel for any and all occasions!

  Kelly is a rockstar

  When it came to hiring a wedding photographer, I knew Kelly was our girl. Her passion for photography, and making her clients feel comfortable is undeniable. She has this brilliance about her that allows her to blend in with your guests and be part of your day without ever missing the perfect shot, or getting in the way. The final products turned out amazing, and it's evident that attention to detail is important to her.

  The absolute best experience

  Kelly was a literal dream. I couldn't even believe how smoothly everything went on our wedding day; she captured it perfectly. She somehow just understood what we wanted and made it come to life. Weddings are stressful, having Kelly as our photographer was easy. 12/10 would make that decision again, she was beyond wonderful!

  Flawless - Highly Recommend

  Kel offers so much more than you could imagine. For example, she pays attention to things like asking what combinations of people to not be photographed together keeping in mind divorce and other dynamics. She knows exactly how to pose people and what will make for great photos. Then, she’ll go the lengths to find a request for a high res pic for printing for a big picture in your home weeks after your wedding at no extra charge just because she’s a fantastic person and extremely professional. She should charge triple! Oh, and don’t be deterred by distance. Depending on what shes up to, she may fly across the whole country for your wedding too!

  Incredible!!

  I loved having Kel as our wedding photographer! My husband and I are very laid back and she was very organized and thought of all the little details - it was just what we needed! Her photos were beautiful and she even sent us a photo book with a bunch of our wedding photos, which has been a great way for us to remember our day and share with our family!

  Kel is amazing

  Kel is an amazing woman to work with. She kills it behind the camera, provides tips for poses, and makes you feel super comfortable. I definitely recommend her if you want a flawless wedding with amazing photos.
