my hope is for my images to reflect the way your loved ones see you
I've found that I fit into the world much more comfortably as an observer than I do in the spotlight, which is one of the many reasons I love my job. I first got my degree in journalism at UNC, knowing that I had a love for people and telling their stories. A few years later, I started my photography business and haven't looked back. It is truly a dream job and something that I believe I am meant to do. I am so thankful to the many amazing couples who have allowed me to step into their story.
I live in Cary, North Carolina, with my husband, Cameron, and kids, Claire and Walt.
Having Kelsey as my photographer was the very best decision I could have ever made. The way Kelsey captures each detail perfectly, in the most gorgeous and timeless way, allows you to relive each and every moment. I had multiple guests tell me they have literally never seen better wedding photos. Besides her breathtaking talent, Kelsey is the friend, breath of fresh air and constant positivity a bride needs. Kelsey constantly made me feel beautiful and allowed me to live in the moment on my wedding day. I truly believe without Kelsey my wedding wouldn’t have been half as special. If you are getting married, I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Not only are all of our photos absolutely spectacular, Kelsey was also there to help me with every step of the process, offering advice and support the entire time. She helped us navigate rescheduling our wedding during a pandemic with grace, professionalism, and assurance as if she had done this before. She pulled off some kind of magic. If my husband and I were given a choice to hire only one vendor from our truly awesome list of vendors for our wedding, it would be Kelsey a thousand times over. I cannot recommend her enough.
We could not recommend Kelsey highly enough! Truly one of the best vendors we had throughout our entire wedding experience. Kelsey brings an extremely calm and organized presence, no matter the occasion. She made us feel so comfortable, always offering posing suggestions that felt natural. We were thrilled with the quality of all of our photos. Kelsey is a joy to work with and snuck so many amazing, candid shots during our big day. She has a wonderful sense of "the moments" and will capture them without being a part of them. I'd give more than five stars if that was possible. 10 out of 5. Would recommend to anyone, anywhere, for anything.

EXPERIENCE
PHOTOGRAPHS ARE FOREVER;
YOUR STORY SHOULD BE TOLD BEAUTIFULLY,
AUTHENTICALLY, AND WITH TIMELESS ARTISTRY
I approach weddings with a mix of editorial and documentary styles to capture the most anticipated moments along with the ones in between. My goal is for you to feel confident enough in my process that you can relax and enjoy each other. I will always provide direction when needed, but I also know how to anticipate a laugh or shared smile from across the room.
Incorporating medium format film photography into my workflow allows me to deliver work that feels like fine art. It influences my style in a way that will allow your photos to stand the test of time.
I'd love to get to know you, your style, what you are most excited for, and what holds the most meaning for you and your family so that I can provide you with a collection of images that will allow you to relive your wedding weekend over and over.
Because your experience is so important to me, I take on a limited number of weddings each year in order to be truly available to you and fully present for your wedding.
