"She truly has captivated every single photo "

"We had the pleasure of working with Kelly from the day of our engagement all the way up to our wedding day! This includes the day we got engaged, + engagement photo session. She truly has captivated every single photo of every single session. Kelly ensured that she would captivate our vision through frequent conversations and questions which I highly appreciated! She also provided many pose suggestions throughout each session which I also truly appreciated. Work with Kelly!!! You will not be disappointed!"

Pricing & Information

"An absolute pleasure to work."

"Kelly Jo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kelly was incredibly easy to communicate with - she responded to all of our questions and requests promptly and was always on top of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Kelly's high-quality, beautiful photos were only surpassed by her wonderful presence. She was so helpful in knowing when I needed a break or reminding me to stay hydrated, and kept the family photo session light-hearted and fun. Kelly went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working photographer who will capture stunning memories."

"Kelly got pictures of everything we asked for plus so many pictures we didn't think of."

"I am so happy Kelly was able to be our photographer!! My husband and I are both military so we didn't get a chance to meet before the wedding day, but she was so communicative throughout the planning process to help us better tailor our timelines for the best photos..."

"We are forever grateful..."

"Kelly was absolutely amazing!!! She and her team made sure everything ran smoothly. She was so calm which was such a blessing as pulling off a wedding always comes with a bit of stress.

"Made me feel at ease the entire day of the wedding!"

"I highly recommend Kelly Jo as a photographer! Kelly and her daughter, Taylor were SO amazing to work with! Kelly was so prompt and easy to communicate with prior to the wedding and made me feel at ease the entire day of the wedding! Her daughter Taylor, was so helpful from giving us suggestions on how to pose to holding my drink and appetizers while shooting pictures. Our sneak peeks came a few days after the wedding and were absolutely gorgeous!"
