I’ve been chasing moments for as long as I can remember, following friends and family around with a camera, capturing joy as it happens. What started with a friend’s proposal turned into a full-blown love for photographing weddings. I focus on genuine connection, laughter, and the little in-between moments that make your day completely yours.
Born and raised in Orange County, now living in Long Beach with my husband and son, I love coffee, champagne, boats, and capturing life exactly as it is: timeless, heartfelt, and full of personality.

What makes Kelly a cut above the rest is her ability to spot those candid moments you'll want to look back on, like my dad carrying my dress into the bridal suite, our flower girl sitting on her grandma's lap during the ceremony and my mom and mother-in-law laughing together at cocktail hour. She's also just so much fun and easy to be around - some of my favorite memories are taking our sunset and second look photos with Kelly. She feels like part of your bridal party - making your day fun and comfortable while capturing the best moments!
"She not only captured every beautiful detail, but how we felt!"

KIND WORDS
- Kelly & Austin
Kelly is truly unparalleled when it comes to a photographer. I am so thankful for the effortless experience she provided us with, and the timeless, classic photos that will hang on the walls of my home forever. She goes out of her way to ensure that your wedding timeline is practical, efficient, and exactly how you want it. Any questions you have regarding logistics, she has a perfect answer for. When shooting your photos, she makes you feel relaxed, and gives you the best suggestions for photos that don't feel posed or modeled. My husband and I don't take a lot of pictures, so having someone we trusted to ensure we were getting pictures that actually represented our personalities and relationship was incredible.
"You simply must book her. She's an absolute GAMECHANGER."

We didn't want anything too staged or trendy. We just wanted our wedding to feel like us and Kelly got that immediately. She captured our day in a way I didn't even think was possible. Every photo feels like a memory. She has a calm presence, gave the perfect amount of direction, and somehow caught all the moments I never even saw. Our photos are timeless, emotional, and full of joy.
