Film & digital — poetic imagery
Destination wedding photographer specializing in artistic & poetic storytelling.
Kelsey brings an artful and sensitive eye to photography that is both unique and refreshing. The atmosphere she achieves is soft with moments of high drama and elegance. Trained as a fine artist, Kelsey is always looking for the light when shooting and allows it to guide all of her artistic decision-making. As a result, her photos seem to glow from within. Colors are naturally rich and clear, textures distinctly emerge and even subtle movement is captured. She has a keen eye for detail, carefully documenting all the small choices that make up a wedding day. Floral arrangements, rings and stationery have as much of the story to tell as people and settings do.
Kelsey has a calming presence and a knack for tapping into the energy of her subjects in order to capture moments that convey their true essence. For wedding photography, she understands that every couple shows affection differently and she considers it her job to simply be there to capture moments of love, spontaneity and intimacy. She offers expert guidance with posing, helping her subjects find the light, but her specialty is making people feel so at ease that they may fall into the right pose naturally.
Working with Kelsey is a truly distinctive experience. Her discerning eye, strong intuition and calming energy all translate directly into her photographs and imbue them with an ethereally transcendent quality. They are authentic and poetic translations of love.

Kind Words
“Kelsey is absolutely incredible, and such a pleasure with which to work! She captured our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and she did the photography for our wedding day. My wife and I do not know much about how to look good in a photo, and she was incredible in terms of finding the right venue, and directing our poses together. The photos all turned out great! The lighting and softness are wonderful, and she captures something that is emotional in the photos, that most photographers cannot capture. She's a real pro, and very friendly person! Look no further! Go hire her!”
