    Weddings & Elopements

    I capture your day in a way that is artistic and authentic with imagery that is soft and nostalgic, and also maintains the integrity of your wedding design with true-to-life color tones. Technical skills aside I am a calming but assertive presence, fading into the background during the intimate moments, and giving direction when needed.

    Destination Weddings

    Not based in North Carolina? No problem. For destination weddings I arrive early to the location and take my time familiarizing myself with the venue so that I can capture not only the love between you and your partner, but also the place that you’ve chosen to celebrate.

    Families

    I offer a select number of family portrait sessions and newborn photography sessions each year. Full portrait sessions last around an hour, and can either be at your home capturing some real life routines and moments, or at one of several locations I recommend.

“If you're looking for photography that evokes emotion while also capturing the essence of the special day, or the human-ness of your friends and family, Kelsey is the person to book. We booked Kelsey for our engagement shoot and wedding and it's the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning journey.

Leading up to the wedding, Kelsey was communicative whenever we had questions and helped us build a realistic timeline that also didn't feel like it took over the whole wedding day. As a fellow wedding professional, I had encountered photography teams that took large chunks of reception time for photography which was not ideal for us, who wanted to actively enjoy our wedding day.

Besides her talent and artistry, Kelsey herself is a lovely human being. I'm convinced only a person as kind, patient and empathetic as she is can produce such beautiful images. If you're looking for photography that is authentic yet artistic and indelible in the mind's eye, you cannot go wrong with Kelsey Mard photography!” —Elena & Michael
