About this vendor
As a wedding photographer in Colorado, I think your wedding photos deserve to be as beautiful as your love story.It's the small details, raw moments and commitment of love that influence my creativity and I'm wild about telling your story so you this moment will always remain unforgettable
Having spent half a decade as a professional photographer, I look to seize the fleeting moments. Capturing and connecting them together to write the silent poem of your wedding day
Growing up on a small family farm in rural Oregon, the simplicity and culture gave me a deep appreciation for the little moments life brings... It also taught me the value of hard work which now translates to how I serve my clients. Now living in Colorado and photographing wherever my clients take me, I couldn't love my job more.
And while I adore creating stunning images, it is your experience in the photographic process that I prize the most. Once a KM couple, always a #kmcouple
It's my complete joy to photograph the beautiful weddings of extraordinary couples and cheer them on in one of the most remarkable days of their lives.

s. Very personable, was able to keep us on schedule during the day, but most importantly, delivered stunning photographs that really captured the experience. We truly enjoyed working with this talented photographer and can't recommend her more!
Our photoshoot with Kelby was incredible! She has such an amazing heart for serving people during their time spent with her. She takes the time to get to know your story, search ...
locations, and find great places with amazing views. Our photos turned out beautiful. I could not have asked for a better person or place. Kelby helped Shane create such a special moment for me with the proposal and now I have these special pictures forever. Kelby makes you feel very comfortable when she is taking your pictures. Many times, you are not sure what you’re supposed to do, and she directs you with every pose. My favorite part was her hyping us up when she got a great shot! She made us feel confident that we looked good. She also took some AMAZING candid photos. I was jumping with excitement, and she snapped that moment PERFECTLY! Overall, we had a great time with her, and the pictures were perfect! If you haven’t done it yet, please reach out to Kelby and book her as your photographer. She will do an amazing job! And Thank You for the capturing our special moment!
Finding the right person to capture that beautiful, handsome, better side of you is challenging. Mix that with a price, and then the biggest challenge of all, feeling comfortable w...
ith the person that has the power to make you look good. Insecurities about yourself can also get in the way of ensuring those perfect pictures. My husband and I stressed about this when it came to finding “the photographer” that was responsible for seizing those special, memorable, and one-of-a-kind moments. When we met Kelby for the first time, it was a true blessing. Not only did she capture our wedding day perfectly, but she also took that feeling of awkwardness and fear of insecurity out of the picture and out of the moments. Kelby has a true gift of getting to know you, making you feel comfortable and encouraged. She brings out that natural, better side of you, not only when she takes the picture, but when you look at the final product. Words can’t even express how impressed and fortunate we were with Kelby’s work. She captured every single special moment of the day that I didn’t even think to capture. My husband and I can agree, our favorite experience with Kelby was the practice run, taking engagement photos. That is where we truly got to know Kelby, let loose a little bit, and where we built that connection that relieved every negative thought when it came to pictures. My husband and I were beyond excited to have Kelby be part of our special day. Her personality, talent, and final product is definitely worth taking a chance on. My husband and I are forever grateful and will always, without a doubt, recommend Kelby as the natural born photographer!
Kelby was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding! She is very hands on and makes planning everything out really easy. She is a sweetheart and made my husband and I feel very comfo...
rtable for our engagement and our wedding pictures. The photos came out stunning and I have had a lot of family and friends speak to how good the photos came out. Kelby still reaches out via social media and always makes sure to congratulate my husband and I on our Anniversary. I could not recommend Kelby more!
My husband Landon and I, have been married for almost seven years and we love our love story. We’ve had two babies and been on many adventures together. In the midst of all the cra...
ziness of our seasons, it’s been few and far between that we’ve captured this love story with a professional photographer. When we got in touch with Kelby, we were blown away at her intentionality to learn our story before we ever planned our shoot. Once our shoot was scheduled, she sent us the most thorough and helpful guide that prepared so well for our photo shoot. Before reading it, I was nervous about what to wear, how to pose, what to bring and the results of all of that. After I read the guide, I was so excited to shoot and felt like I had such a good grasp on what to wear and what looked good in front of the camera. And then came the actual shoot... amazing! We had the most fun ever with Kelby. Not only did it feel like a fun, intimate date with our noses pressed against each other and arms wrapped around each other, we had a blast with Kelby. There were lots of laughs and we felt so comfortable and confident as she told us exactly how to pose and encouraged us from behind the camera! She had studied the area well and knew in advance everywhere she wanted to take photos of us. And let me tell you, the results were the very best part!!! We are absolutely IN LOVE with the photos she took. Absolutely BLOWN AWAY. She captured who we are sooo well and her editing is so beautiful and not too overdone. If you’re looking for a photographer, you need to book Kelby. From the bottom of our hearts, Kelby, THANK YOU!
There are no words to describe how I feel about my wedding photos and how amazing the whole experience was. Kelby is an amazing individual who captured everything the exact way tha...
t I dreamed about. Her pictures truly told the story of our wedding and no detail was left out. Planning the wedding was fun but also so stressful and I knew from the second that I found her on wedding wire that she was the photographer for us. I never even reached out to another photographer before making my choice. Not only did we love having her and her second shooter Becca (who was also amazing) our guests had wonderful things to say about them as well. When people see my pictures the first thing I tell them is who did them and to let me know if they need a photographer. Kelby I hope you know that you helped make our day so special and we appreciate absolutely everything! Soon my house will be full of all our beautiful pictures! If I could give her a million stars I would, she is probably one of the most genuine people you will ever meet!
Kelby was our wedding photographer in 2016. We wanted our day to be stress free, so sought a photographer who wouldn't put us into stuffy poses or keep us to a tight schedule. Kelb...

rd time and every single one was so perfect. She even went out to her car before she left our wedding and put together a cute sneak peak slide show!
