I’m a Phoenix-based wedding and elopement photographer with a soft spot for film, non-traditional love stories, desert light, ocean air, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously. Give me a couple doing things their own way, a little movement, a lot of feeling, and maybe a Taco Bell run after, and I’m in.
I’m also the person who will happily scout the weird off-path location, hype you up when you’re nervous, fix the little details, and then go home to my fiancé, my doggos, and probably some trash TV to turn my brain off.
What I care about most is making this feel easy, honest, and like you. Not like you’re being posed into somebody else’s version of a good time. I use a lot of movement and natural direction, especially for the people who swear they’re awkward in front of the camera, because same. I get it.
I care about beautiful photos, obviously. But I care even more about what they hold onto. The energy. The tenderness. The people you love. The stuff that hits harder years later.
So no, I’m not here to force a Pinterest-perfect version of your story.
I’m here to document the real one — with feeling, grit, and heart.

YOU WANT YOUR PHOTOS TO FEEL LIKE YOU
hi THERE, i'm KELSEY

Super 8 is vintage video, shot on real film—like your favorite film photos, but in motion. It’s got that dreamy, nostalgic flair: soft focus, grainy texture, and colors that feel like a memory. Think: a home video from the '70s, but starring you and your love, running wild through your wedding day. It’s imperfect in the most perfect way—and that’s what makes it so romantic.

"I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE PHOTOS LIKE THESE"
"My (now) husband and I as professional photographers ourselves, always joke how unphotogenic I am, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect for my own wedding photos.Kelsey, blew me away from her posing, hyping me up, to the lighting, to her ideas, and composure of each individual shot. I never thought I’d be the bride to have photos like this and I am now so incredibly grateful that I have such editorial, high end, creative shots of such an amazing day where my husband and I still feel like each other in every photo — and actually felt comfortable in front of the camera because of her. I cannot recommend her enough!"
