I believe in genuine moments and the little sparks of connection that make a wedding day feel alive. In the kinds of images that make you laugh, tear up, and remember exactly how it felt to be in that moment. I believe in photos that are meant to be printed, framed, and passed down,so years from now, your family can look at them and say, “That’s so them.”

BEHIND THE LENS

Now I get to do that every single day: capture love as it truly is. I’m not here to create cookie-cutter moments or stiff, posed photos. I want your images to feel like you: your personalities, your connection, your inside jokes, your tenderness. My hope is that one day, your grandchildren look at your wedding photos and say, “Yep… that’s so them.”
Born and raised in Orange County, I now live in Long Beach with my husband and our son. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me somewhere sunny, caffeinated, and holding a camera.
I’ve been chasing moments for as long as I can remember. Following my parents and friends around with a camera, trying to freeze everything I didn’t want to forget. Before I ever photographed a wedding, I spent years working in the TV and film industry as a writer, producer, and director. I told people’s stories for a living, shaping meaningful and emotional narratives.
Then one day, a friend asked me to photograph their proposal. Watching their faces shift from anticipation to pure joy and knowing they’d be able to relive every second of it changed everything for me. I was hooked.
IT's NICE TO MEET YOU

Kelly is truly everything we could have dreamed of in a photographer and more. She not only captured every beautiful detail, but how we FELT at our wedding, which is exactly what we wanted and why we can't stop looking at our photos! What makes Kelly a cut above the rest is her ability to spot those candid moments you'll want to look back on. She's also just so much fun and easy to be around. Trust me, Kelly is perfect for you!
