About this vendor
I like to make authentic connections with my couples and be a comforting presence along the entire process. From planning to the wedding day, I understand that everything is centered around your love and is not about a business transaction. You are my priority.
A lot of my photos portray happy faces--that's not an accident or facade. I am passionate about capturing honest beauty, and joy is one of the most honest and beautiful things in life.

Kellie is the most incredible photographer and person to have with you on your big day. When choosing our photographer, we wanted to make sure that not only did we like their photography but we also wanted to make sure we really liked being around them considering your with your photographer for your entire wedding day - Kellie was perfect in both those situations. She did our engagement photos and wedding and we couldn't be happier with how the days went and how the photos turned out. She captured the moment perfectly. For our engagement photos we wanted to do something a little less traditional and she was onboard to give us our vision and they came out better than we could have imagined. The wedding day she was a calming presence while getting every shot. She even found us a beautiful rainbow after a drizzly ceremony. If you're questioning who to use for your wedding photographer, look no further - Kellie is your girl!! Thank you Kellie for capturing our perfect day perfectly!
Kellie was phenomenal to work with!! She took the time to get to know my husband and I before our wedding day so by the time the day rolled around it felt like we were just hanging with a friend. We felt so relaxed and she put all of our family at ease as well. She was professional and captured all of the moments we were hoping for, yet was efficient and kept us all on time as well. We cannot wait to see the photos and have no doubt that they will be exquisite!
My husband and I aren't huge on self portraits, but we knew it was a must for our wedding. Furthermore, we definitely needed some one who would guide into our comfort zones and capture us in the moments! Kellie did just that!
She gave direction while simultaneously providing space for us to come up with our own ideas. Looking at our engagement photos, I can't help but smile. I have an organic collection of photos of us doing our regular routine and I get to remember those memories as they were.
For our wedding, again, her photography was tailored to us. And I cry happy tears, because her photos tell a story with all the details that are "us". Not only do I have beautiful portraits of my husband and I, but I have the faces and personalities of my guests that make me laugh, I get to see the sunlight on the trees of my venue that make me feel tucked into a forest, I get to see the my floral arrangements again that I worked so hard to design. Looking at all of her photos, I still get that magical feeling of the sky at dawn, with string lights all across the venue for dinner, and the pacific ocean in the background. Most importantly, she captured my husband and I with our favorite people in both beautiful romantic portraits, and candid moments, and we are forever grateful to have had Kellie on our special day!!!
Kellie is an amazing photographer! She is down to earth and easy to work with. She is communicative and gives great direction. She made us feel so at ease and that reflected in our engagement photos. The other thing that I love about her work is that she captures the light so well. You are not going to get photos that look like they have five layers of Instagram filter on top. Her style is so genuine and authentic, you will look like the very best versions of yourself. I highly recommend!
WOW. Where do I start? Kellie is one of the most special photographers who goes above and beyond for her couples. She takes the time to get to know them on a more personal level and somehow manages to capture your unique personalities in her photos. Kellie not only worked with us and our budget to create a custom package, but when our wedding was rescheduled because of COVID she made sure to be available for our new date and even went out of her way to photograph our elopement during 2020 close to our original date. She helped me plan out the timing of our wedding day in order to maximize our time with our guests which was our priority (we didn't want to spend the entire cocktail hour taking photos). For those of us who never know what to do when a camera is pointed our way, her refreshing energy makes being in front of a camera more comfortable and natural, creating less 'posed' and all around great photos. Her work is not only beautiful, but authentic, natural and airy. I will treasure each photo forever. You won't regret having Kellie as your photographer on your special day!
Kellie did such an amazing job as our photographer for our wedding day and for our engagement photo session. She is such a pleasure to work with and did a great job coaching us through the process and making sure we were having a great time. We will definitely be using her in the future for all our photography needs.
Kellie did an AMAZING job! She captured the best parts of our wedding day and we couldn’t be more grateful to have our beautiful pictures to keep forever. If you’re looking for someone who’s patient, easy to work with, professional and talented, you’ve found her!
Kellie is an absolutely amazing photographer and as you get to know her throughout the process you’ll find she’s just as wonderful a person! She really made an effort to get to know us to make us more comfortable and relaxed as if we were working with a long-time friend.
Working with her is a blast, she has a great eye for details everywhere (the background, the clothes, the light) and most importantly keeps it fun! So much so that you won’t realize how much time has gone by since it feels like you’re hanging out.
When we first saw the preview photos from our engagement shoot we were both blown away and surprised since we thought we may have been too awkward or too stiff! But the moments Kellie captured were stunning. She was able to capture our best moments and they looked so good I almost didn’t recognize that it was us in the photos! After seeing our engagement photos we were incredibly excited to see what Kellie would capture on our wedding day, and she did not disappoint! While we’ve only seen the previews at the time of writing this, what she has shared with us so far have been truly beautiful pictures that allows us to re-live our wedding day and we can’t wait for the rest. We’ve already received so many compliments from friends and family!
We would highly, highly recommend Kellie again and again!
I’m forever grateful to have stumbled upon Kellies social media page. I immediately messaged her to see if she was available for our wedding. We did a zoom “first date” and grabbed some coffee to get to know one another better, it helped ease any awkwardness on the wedding day. Kellie is the best, besides her AMAZING photos, she’s down to earth, makes you feel comfortable and easily one of the best decision we made for our day. When you’re picking a photographer, you want someone to not just take photos, but truly capture the moment, she’s you're girl! Don’t look any further!!
Kellie was an absolute DREAM to work with. Not only was her work absolutely stunning, but she was incredibly patient and flexible with us throughout the pre-wedding planning phase and the day of. We felt we were really working with an old friend every step of they way. She was able to so beautifully capture our day, who we are as a couple and everything in between. I'm so thankful we're able to look back and see what we missed throughout the day, even the smallest details were not overlooked. Cannot recommend Kellie enough!
I don't even know where to start.. Kellie is fantastic. She goes above and beyond, is a joy to be around, and does so much to put you at ease in front of the camera!
We did our engagement photoshoot and the wedding day photos with her, and every single time we met in between we were continuously impressed by her eye for detail, her great sense of humor, and her creativity. We really do think she has become a friend and my husband and I always look forward to chatting with her. The photos she produces are beautiful, the editing is flawless and so natural-looking. She is always very communicative and responds fast to emails, texts, etc. We cannot wait to see how our wedding albums turn out!
Kellie is so amazing at what she does! My fiancé and I chose Kellie as a photographer after finding her online and seeing her beautifully crafted website and portfolio. We had our engagement shoot in August 2020 and after seeing the results we agreed we 100% wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Kellie went above and beyond to get to know my fiancé and I before our big day in Sept 2021. By knowing her, it made our wedding day that much easier and more comfortable since she was there to capture so many special moments. I would definitely recommend working with Kellie with whatever your photography needs are!
Kellie was everything we were looking for in a wedding photographer! Kind, easy to talk to and get to know, and takes amazing photos! My husband and I both don't like taking pictures, but Kellie made everything relaxed! We both also did not want overly filtered photos and wanted things to look as natural as possible. Kellie delivered the perfect look for our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier!
Kellie was personable and perfect for us! She met with us prior to booking and we just adored her. She is very organized and effortless to work with. She had many suggestions and was very flexible and adaptive during the covid season. She made us feel very comfortable and provided incredible quality photos! We are so glad to have gained her as a friend! She is so sweet and lovely!
Kellie was amazing at making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and she brought the best energy to our weekend. She did an incredible job scouting the best places to shoot at the venue and was an amazing addition to the day! I was so impressed with all of the photos she captured!
KELLIE IS THE BEST! Not only did she take the time to get to know my husband and I before our engagement photos, but she went out of her way to strengthen that friendship throughout the year of our engagement, leading up to our wedding day! Kellie was incredibly flexible with traveling for our wedding and we loved having her be a part of our day! She is so professional and knowledgable and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Kellie's photographer style is exactly how we wanted our day captured and she executed it perfectly! 100000/10 Recommend Kellie she is amazing!!
Great!! Took extra time to take pictures at the rehearsal dinner! Very personable and easy to work with!
Look no further! Kellie went above and beyond on our special day. We really felt like she cared about our shoot and wanted us to love our pictures. We most certainly do. :) I highly recommend her to anyone in search for a professional photographer. We are so glad we chose her! Thanks Kellie!
Kellie was referred to us by our wedding planner who we hired for our destination wedding. From our initial chat we knew she was the right choice for our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding Kellie really got to know us as a couple - beyond just the photos we wanted captured on that day.
On our wedding day Kellie showed up with additional ideas of where we could take photos - all of which were excellent and photos I can’t image not having. She has the eye you would expect from a photographer but she’s also open to your ideas. We highly recommend Kellie and are so grateful she was able to capture the moments and memories of our wedding day.
Kellie is absolutely incredible! She is such a dream to work with, and does a fantastic job of capturing such intimate moments. She goes above and beyond for her clients. We met a few times before the wedding, and initially I thought these would be more formal meetings, going over details, pricing, trying to push for more photo sessions, but I was wrong and very pleasantly surprised! All of our meetings were centered around getting to know us as a couple, which in turn made us feel very comfortable on our big day, and made it easier for Kellie to truly capture our essence. Not only that, but she is so flexible and such a dream to work with. For our wedding, we eloped at sunrise on the bluffs at Torrey Pines, which meant getting ready at the crack of dawn. Not only was Kellie willing to meet us at 5:30 in the morning, she also came bearing donuts, which is just one of many examples of how sweet and caring she is. I’m so glad she was able to do our elopement in San Diego, and will be covering our more traditional ceremony in Santa Barbara next year as well!
Kellie was the most incredible wedding photographer! She is so personable and just blends right in to the family. Her pictures turned out beautiful and she was able to capture exactly what we wanted. I prefer candid photos because I feel super fake when I have to pose for pictures. Kellie presented my husband and I with the perfect combination of candid and posed photos and she somehow put me at ease enough during the poses to really make them look natural. Kellie maintained excellent communication with me throughout everything and was professional as well as fun! My husband and I could not be happier with the way our wedding photos turned out: gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, and natural. Thank you so much Kellie for being the best and making our special day that much more amazing. Now we can look back on those memories in the perfect way. We love her and 150 kabijillion percent recommend having Kellie as a photographer for any special event!
Kellie was amazing! It was so much fun to work with her. I loved how she took the time to get to know Dallin and I before the wedding so she could learn what we wanted and what we were like together before the actual day. The pictures we got from her are stunning! She even woke up early the day after to take beach pictures! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!
Absolutely fantastic. Kellie is very organized, thorough, and professional. I had never taken official pictures before and Kellie made it all so easy. She knew the small detail shots to get and had me posing every which way to get the perfect shot. At the wedding itself she captured so many amazing candid pictures. 10/10 would recommend her for a wedding.
Kellie seriously brakes the awesomeness scale in comparison to other photographers. When my husband and I first met her for our engagement shoot, she was immediately kind and welcoming. Both of us are totally shy in front of the camera and we had no clue what to do but she made the entire shoot so much fun! Not only did we have a blast getting to know her but our pictures turned out completely stunning. She truly knows how to capture the authenticity of every moment while doing her absolute best to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Fast forwarding to our wedding day, Kellie was so kind, patient, and excited to get every shot she could regardless of it being in the middle of the day with scorching heat! She truly went above and beyond to take care of everybody and even encouraged them to drink water so they weren't overheated. Lastly, I wanted a photographer who truly captured the sweet, raw feelings of the day without it feeling too posed or cheesy. Kellie's work is truly incredible as she even managed to get many sweet candid moments when I didn't even know she was there! There's so much more I can say about Kellie but if you are looking for an incredibly kind photographer, who is more than willing to go above and beyond in every single aspect to capture every beautiful moment of your special day then you've come to the right place!
Kellie is truly the most thoughtful photographer. She knew all the right questions to ask to make us comfortable! She also made having our pictures taken a lot of fun. My “now husband” struggles with any type of PDA and Kellie was able to make sure he felt comfortable and went above and beyond what we expected. Our families combined are very large and she was able to capture beautiful pictures of everyone. She is completely organized and know what she is doing for sure. She will be our forever family photographer!
Where do I begin! I have so many wonderful things to say about Kellie. I found her on Instagram when I was looking tirelessly to find someone for some rushed engagement photos! I wanted to have a shot with my car that I was selling and Kellie made sure to fit us in right away and accommodate my crazy car shoot request! As a blogger who has worked with multiple photographers, I thought Kellie was so incredibly thoughtful, having my fiancé and I do a Skype interview ahead of time to make sure she got a sense of our relationship and what we wanted. She also had us fill out a little his and her questionnaire too so that she got all the good angles! Her attitude made us both feel comfortable and she did a great job of wrangling our little french bulldog into some supper cute shots! On top of all that, she was incredibly well priced considering how expensive any type of wedding photography can be in Los Angeles! She also rushed our prints for a small fee so I had them quicker and made sure we looked great. I loved her attitude, professionalism and work so much, would most certainly recommend to anyone!
I'm so happy that we chose Kellie as our wedding photographer! She is so personable and kind, and really cares about capturing the moments from your big day. She took a lot of time and care to figure out exactly what we were hoping for, to ask for our opinions, and figure out what was most important to us. Her style is beautiful and she has a gift for composition. Do not hesitate to hire Kellie -- you will not regret choosing her as your photographer! :-)
