the WEDDING
Experience
Specializing in romance, capturing unforgettable and unexpected moments on your wedding day and over delivering on customer service
Wedding Photographer in West Michigan
I define my style as a refined blend of timeless romance, editorial elegance, and genuine emotion, images that feel effortless yet intentional. Photographs that are beautifully composed without ever feeling stiff or over-posed. Capturing light, movement, and connection and creating photographs that feel alive and emotionally honest.
Documenting every moment of your wedding day, from the big, exciting moments you've spent hours getting ready for, to the joy you share when you both say I do, to all of the "real" moments in between.
I strive to create a wedding experience that is calm, detail-oriented, and serves your unique needs. With customizable wedding collections, you can be sure that every important detail to you will be covered.
Whether your'e planning a large celebration with hundreds of guests, or a small, intimate gathering with just your closest people, or adventuring to an amazing destination, I am thrilled to be there for you to and will strive to create an experience that exceeds your expectations.
Because your story is unlike any other.
I have learned through my experience working with many couples that no two weddings are alike. I offer both pre-made and completely custom photography packages to reflect your unique celebration. Together we can discuss what options best align with your wedding vision. Most collections include a second photographer and engagement session, with 8-10 hours or more pf coverage.

If you're looking for exceptional portraits that fully embody the story and style of your vision, I'd love to work with you.
Working with a limited number of couples each year allows for a personal and approachable experience. I believe in kind-hearted communication, openness with expression, and approachability with your vision and values. This means getting to know my clients on a personal level, so I can help create a custom timeline with you, for your wedding day.
"We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough!"
“Kelly was really great to work with! We met her for the first time at our engagement session and instantly hit it off and felt so comfortable with her. She did a beautiful job taking both our engagement and wedding photos, and capturing our love. She also was SO helpful with our wedding timeline and was so gracious when I kept changing my mind on things. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough!!"

Once you’ve chosen your date, I’ll send over a proposal with your custom package details and a booking link. A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date — and then the fun begins as we plan your timeline and photography details together.
What happens next if we’d like to book?
You can expect around 600–1000 carefully edited images from a full wedding day. A sneak peek gallery is delivered within a week, and your full gallery arrives within 8–10 weeks, ready to download and share.
How many images will we receive, and when?
One hundred percent. Most of my couples aren’t models — they’re real people who just want to feel relaxed and enjoy the day. I offer gentle direction and focus on helping you connect with each other so the images feel authentic and full of life.
Will you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?
My approach blends editorial composition with genuine emotion — a mix of timeless portraits and candid, unposed moments. I work primarily with natural light to create soft, luminous imagery that feels effortless and refined.
How would you describe your photography style?
Absolutely. I photograph celebrations across France and beyond, from riverside celebrations on the Seine in Paris to coastal villas along the Caribbean, to the Mountains of Alaska. Travel details are customized for each event, and I handle all logistics to make the process seamless for you.
Do you travel for weddings?
Most couples reserve their date 9–12 months in advance, especially for popular seasons. If you’re planning a destination or summer wedding, I always recommend reaching out as soon as possible to ensure availability.
How far in advance should we book you?

"Hiring Kelly is one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! I was drawn to her because of her portfolio - I loved her style of timeless, bright, fresh, and happy photography. Our package included an engagement session and a second shooter, Kelly’s daughter. Both of them were fantastic and brought such a kind and calming energy to our wedding experience. We loved our photos from the engagement session and were blown away by our wedding gallery. When we received it and started to look through the photos, we couldn’t find a single one we didn’t like which is so rare! Kelly did an amazing job capturing the details and highlights of our day. We are so excited to have our photos as lasting memories and are so grateful!"
