About this vendor
Documentary-style wedding photography that captures real emotion, natural connection, and the unscripted moments you’ll want to remember forever.
I aim to work in a way that lets you be yourself. Blending in when needed, stepping in when it helps, and always paying attention to the feeling behind the photo. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and present so I can preserve your memories just as they happened—full of connection, warmth, and life.
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a big joyful celebration surrounded by all your people, or something entirely your own, your day deserves to be documented with care and intention. I take a calm, thoughtful approach, focusing on candid storytelling that honors the real spirit of your wedding.
Based in Minnesota and available wherever your story takes me.

To put it lightly, Kelsey is an absolute gem. To start, she is very professional while also being considerate -- not only did she respond quickly to the many questions I gave her a...
nd had well-built out questionnaires to make the wedding planning process easier, but she took that extra step to ensure we were supported every step of the way. She also quickly made people feel comfortable in a sometimes uncomfortable situation. My now-husband and I, who are not avid picture-takers, felt immediately reassured and excited after we took our engagement photos with her. Then, on the wedding day, our whole wedding party agreed that she was very respectful but also quickly made people relaxed. And, of course, her photos are beautiful. She knew exactly our taste and was able to match that and more. You can tell the gallery she put together for us was made with a lot of care. We are so appreciative of Kelsey and would highly recommend her.
Kelsey took our engagement and wedding photos and she was AMAZING! I am so happy with how both of them turned out. She was great to work with, was organized and punctual, and captu...
red gorgeous photos. I loved the simple natural editing and all the candid's. I start tearing up every time I start looking at them and I am so excited to share them with all our family and friends. My husband and I had a great wedding day and Kelsey was a great addition to it. I recommend her to any couple :)
OBSESSED!! Kelsey has the perfect combination of calming and hyping vibe! We are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she made the environment so comfortable on top...
of capturing the most stunning and beautiful photos! She was creative, knowledgeable, and so so kind throughout the whole experience!
She went above and beyond from our first meeting where she creating a safe space and showed herself and ability to cultivate a meaningful relationship, to the engagement session where she took our vision and ran with it to bring it to life better than we could have imagined, to the wedding day where she was able to capture all the angles and memories! We continue to re-live the day through her pictures!
Would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Would recommend her for her diverse experiences! She was able to capture and bring to life our multicultural wedding with respect, appreciation, and beauty!
If I could give more than five stars I would. From the beginning of our wedding planning Kelsey did everything she possibly could to assist us. She helped us create a whole schedul...
e for the day and throughout the process helped finalize everything. She made sure she asked questions that I didn't even think about. Which helped make our day so much better. She was very organized and made sure she had a list of photos that we for sure wanted captured. She loved suggestions and did an amazing job of executing them. And on our wedding day Kelsey made sure she did what would make Caleb and I happy. She always checked in asking if I was doing okay and also capturing all the little moments that I didn't even see. It makes me so happy to go over all of our wedding photos and remember the day exactly as it happened. Not just standing and smiling photos but the warmth and everyone's hug and the tears of happiness that fell down people's faces. She does an amazing job at capturing those moments that make you the happiest. And she does it so quickly that you don't even notice. Kelsey is insanely comfortable to be around and also good at directing a crowd. From the beginning Kelsey has been amazing and I would recommend her to everybody I possibly can. I know this review is long but it is so worth it because Kelsey photographed our day perfectly. Thank you so much Kelsey!! Isabella and Caleb🩵
