“Kelsy is the absolute best! So sweet, professional, understanding, and gets the shot! Cannot say enough kind words about her. She did our engagement shoot, my bridal shower, and our big day!

— Andrea Leoni

“My fiance and I recently took our engagement photos with Kelsy and she was a pleasure to work with! We are not all that comfortable being in front of the camera and Kelsy made the shoot both relaxing and fun. She asked us exactly what we were looking for and arranged the location and the shoot accordingly. The sneak peak of the photos we received are absolutely beautiful and we cannot wait to see the rest!! I would recommend her for any photography needs!”

— Allie De Sousas

“When our original wedding was canceled due to COVID, I scrambled to find another photographer last minute and Kelsy came to my rescue. Kelsy is incredible. She shot our backyard wedding this past weekend, and she already sent me multiple sneak peaks! Needless to say, they are gorgeous photos, I’m so excited to see the rest!!
Kelsy was so nice to work with- she was professional, attentive, and really great at directing us where we needed to be for certain photos. Kelsy even brought us a little goodie basket as a wedding present, it was incredibly sweet.
Overall, Kelsy is an amazing photographer, I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far, and will100% hire her again in the future!!”

Sacred, Simple, and Full of Grace.
Your wedding day isn’t about trends or timelines — it’s about the vows, the glances, the quiet sacredness of it all. Whether it’s a backyard ceremony, mountaintop elopement, or intimate gathering under string lights, I’m here to capture it with intentionality, heart, and a whole lot of prayer.

1. A Photographer Who Sees the Sacred
This isn’t just a job — it’s a calling. I believe marriage is holy ground, and I treat your day with the reverence and joy it deserves. I’ll pray over your images, over your story, and over the grace that’s unfolding in your union.

2. A Calm, Grounded Presence
I’ll be your calm in the whirlwind — gently guiding when needed, stepping back when it’s time for stillness. You don’t have to perform or pretend. You just get to be, and I’ll be there to capture what’s real.

3. The Details That Matter
From quiet prayers and handwritten vows to laughter-filled toasts and the way your dad looks at you — I’m always watching for the in-between. The honest, unrepeatable moments.

4. A Style That Feels Like a Memory
Your gallery will be full of warm tones, soft movement, and timeless edits that feel like your day — not a Pinterest board. Something you’ll look back on and feel all over again.

5. Support Every Step of the Way
Whether it’s help building your timeline, picking a ceremony spot, or praying with you before you walk down the aisle — I’ve got you.

You don’t need a huge venue to have a holy moment.
Just your person, your promises, and the grace of the One who brought you together.

What to expect on your wedding day

Ready to move forward? Here’s how it works:

1. Reach Out
Send me a message through my contact form with a few details about your wedding — date, location, and what you’re dreaming up. I’ll respond within 24–48 hours.

2. Let’s Connect
We’ll schedule a quick call or coffee chat (virtual or in person) to hear more about your story, talk through what matters most, and see if we’re a great fit.

3. Reserve Your Date
Once you’re ready, you’ll receive a contract and retainer to officially save the date. Then we can start dreaming up all the goodness together!

4. Planning Support
I’ll walk with you as needed — timeline guidance, location scouting, vendor referrals, and prayer if you need it. You’re not doing this alone.

5. Your Day Arrives
You show up as you are. I’ll be there to document the vows, the grace, and the quiet sacredness of it all — with joy and intention.

6. Your Gallery is Delivered
Within 4–6 weeks, your gallery will arrive — full of the warmth, beauty, and goodness of your day. A visual reminder of God's faithfulness in your love story.

This isn’t just a wedding. It’s the start of a covenant.
And I would be honored to help tell that story.
