Feeling the Love
Chelsea + Levi
Kellie made us feel comfortable and on one of the most stressful days of my life, she let us have fun and consistently gave us encouraging feedback.
“Kellie was a dream to work with. She has clear and creative instructions for posing, and makes you feel comfortable, like you've been friends for years. She was virtually undetectable through the ceremony and reception and got the most gorgeous candid shots. On top of all of that, we got the photos back within a couple weeks. Kellie made us feel comfortable and on one of the most stressful days of my life, she let us have fun and consistently gave us encouraging feedback. I truly felt like she was so happy for us. I could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned put. “

I am in no way uneasy in front of a camera and my husband is the opposite - when I tell you he was THRILLED with our experience with Kellie, I am not exaggerating.
“My husband and I used Kellie for both engagement and wedding photos. I am in no way uneasy in front of a camera and my husband is the opposite - when I tell you he was THRILLED with our experience with Kellie, I am not exaggerating. She has such a knack for making people feel comfortable getting their photo taken while capturing the most natural, authentic, beautiful pictures. Our entire wedding party felt at ease with her, as well, as she was so personable. She gives directions when needed, and then fades into the background when it's not needed and gets those amazing detail and behind-the-scenes shots. We specifically chose Kellie because we are an interracial couple and Kellie does a great job with lighting and making sure we both look amazing and are represented well. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives - thank you, Kellie!”

I would highly recommend Kellie for wedding photography. Our photos turned out amazing! She was super easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I can't recommend enough!

Kellie helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and was a guiding light through our shoots.
“We hired Kellie for our October 2018 wedding and we couldn't have been happier with our choice to do so. Kellie went above and beyond her duties before and on the day. We did an engagement shoot with her the summer before our wedding which I highly suggest! Not only did she take amazing photos that we'll treasure the rest of our lives but we were also able to get to know her a bit better before the big day! She helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and was a guiding light through our shoots and even through our rehearsal! Kellie is hilarious and really helps you feel at ease and her work speaks for itself. She's professional but also knows how to ease tension and brighten up a room. Our photos were available quickly for both of our shoots and she updated us along the way. We were the first couple in our friend group to get married but I will absolutely be recommending her as they get engaged through the years!”

Throughout our wedding, we were outside in the pouring rain, inside in the botanical gardens, inside in not the greatest lighting, and outside on a rooftop at dawn AND nighttime. The girl can do it all!
Kellie is seriously talented! She can adjust to taking pictures regardless of lighting or weather - throughout our wedding, we were outside in the pouring rain, inside in the botanical gardens, inside in not the greatest lighting, and outside on a rooftop at dawn AND nighttime. The girl can do it all! The photos all look amazing, and we definitely treasure the variety! We were excited to take beautiful outdoor pictures with the fall leaves on our wedding day, and when it ended up pouring all day, Kellie positively said, “let’s embrace the rain!” And I’m so glad she did! She brought cute clear bubble umbrellas, and my husband and I had our first look in the pouring rain! And that is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day, and really captures our relationship. And those pictures, are just beautiful! Kellie is an amazing photographer, and is such a wonderful, genuine lady! We definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! Thank you for everything Kellie!

She has a way of weaving herself into your wedding flawlessly.
“Kellie was not only an exceptionally talented photographer, but also an exceptional human being. She has a way of weaving herself into your wedding flawlessly. Many of my wedding guests commented that she was not pushy or demanding in taking photos, but instead was joyful and happy, and enhanced our guests experience. We also received SO MANY compliments on the finished product of Kellie's work. Her photos are warm, golden, loving, and full of details from our special day.”

No awkward poses or unflattering photos in the whole gallery! She captured our wedding day in the most beautiful, authentic way.
“Kellie was incredible to work with! We connected from the moment we met and she was a joy to work with pre-wedding, on the wedding day, and afterwards. She mixed professionalism with fun, and the images she captured of our wedding at the Belle Isle Boathouse are absolutely breathtaking. No awkward poses or unflattering photos in the whole gallery! She captured our wedding day in the most beautiful, authentic way. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Kellie!”

She made us awkward goofballs feel SO comfortable and gave great direction when we had no idea how to pose.
“I came across Kellie's work while searching for our wedding photographer and immediately fell in love with her style, and then upon meeting her-her personality. Kellie recently took our engagement photos on Belle Isle and did a phenomenal job! She made us awkward goofballs feel SO comfortable and gave great direction when we had no idea how to pose. We can't wait to see the magic that she captures on our big day! “

Kellie was timely, organized and enthusiastic. She internalized all details of our wedding and embedded herself into the day flawlessly.
“We found Kellie through a recommendation from a friend and we couldn't be more grateful. Kellie was timely, organized and enthusiastic. She internalized all details of our wedding and embedded herself into the day flawlessly. She was also helpful in determining our timeline for the day which was valued during the stressful pandemic planning. Her photography and aesthetic eye were essential to preserving the moment; further, her attitude and kind demeanor put everyone at ease. She felt like another one of our guests. Our family and bridal party all loved Kellie and she is someone who makes everyone feel like a friend. I (the bride) am very awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera and I never felt that way with Kellie and the photos look even better than I could have dreamed. Kellie is the type of person to give the shirt off her back - in our case, she gave me her sandals after I cried about my heels in the rain and she walked barefoot to our reception. Hiring Kellie was easily the best decision we made in our wedding planning. We recommend her without any reservation. Our photos are beautiful and we couldn't be happier. We are hoping for another excuse to hire her just to hang out with her again (and also for her gorgeous work!).”

She is an excellent communicator and so flexible with what we wanted for the day.
“Kellie is amazing! She is an excellent communicator (phone, text, or email) and so flexible with what we wanted for the day. We weren't able to meet in person before the wedding but it didn't make a difference as her friendliness and kindness put us at ease as soon as we met. Most importantly, she is a fantastic photographer. She has a skilled eye for lighting and positioning and was able to perfectly capture us and the day in her photos. “
Erica + Derek
the shots that really stood out were the ones she took when we were just enjoying each other. The entire session was so easy!
“My fiancé and I were a bit apprehensive about engagement photos at first (neither of us spend much time in front of the camera). Kellie was like a gentle breeze allowing us time to relax and become comfortable while bringing her joyful personality which opened us up to have fun. She guided us to capture certain shots but the shots that really stood out were the ones she took when we were just enjoying each other. The entire session was so easy! Once we received our photos back (in a matter of days, mind you!), we could really tell the quality Kellie puts into her craft. You could see that for Kellie, this is more than a job- it’s a joy.”
