“I am blown away at how gorgeous my wedding photos are!”
"Kelly Jo captured every special moment of our day and I am BLOWN AWAY at how gorgeous my wedding photos are! She and her daughter were ROCKSTARS at the wedding and rolled with the punches that every wedding tends to bring. They were kind, communicative, fun and I loved every moment. Her creative vision shines through her work! My photos are sophisticated, fun, gorgeous and creative. Thank you Kelly!"

"She gave us the wedding photos of our dreams..."
"Kelly was so wonderful to work with. She was kind, professional and very responsive. She gave us the wedding photos of our dreams, and captured every moment so beautifully. She also got our photos back super quickly! She and her partner were phenomenal at every step of the way. She is truly a visionary!"
Kylee & Brett
"Hiring Kelly is one of the best decisions I made for me wedding day!"
"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!"
Ashley & Collin
"They really went above and beyond, I cannot recommend them enough."
"I cannot stop thinking about how lucky I was to have Kelly and her second shooter Taylor photograph my wedding day! From the moment I booked Kelly she was friendly, personable, and willing to do anything to help make my day exactly what I dreamed! She was very responsive during the planning process, helped me come up with a timeline, and hopped on the phone within a few days anytime I had questions! The day of the wedding Kelly and her second shooter showed up and did their thing! She knew my timeline and made sure we got all the shots that we wanted! It’s true when they say that wedding timelines do not always go as planned and in those moments Kelly stepped in and knew exactly what to do at the right time! Every free moment her second shooter, Taylor, had she was by my side either carrying my train, holding my lip gloss, fixing my veil, wiping smudges off of my dress, etc.. I truly was blown away at their kindness. Kelly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Because Kelly knows what she is doing, photo time felt quick enough to get back to the party but also long enough to get every perfect shot. We received a sneak peak the same week and absolutely loved the photos. We haven’t stopped looking at them! Lastly, we unfortunately had a dress emergency (ahh!!). The train of my dress sadly ripped (pretty bad) and in that nightmare of a moment, Kelly and Taylor stepped right in and completely took care of me! They got me to the bridal suite, pulled out a sewing kit, and worked their magic. You couldn’t even tell after they sewed it and we bustled the dress. They really went above and beyond and I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Kelly and Taylor!
