More than beautiful. Meaningful.

Photographs that feel like home.

I photograph thoughtful weddings for thoughtful people.

If Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig hosted a wedding in a hidden garden, I’d be the one quietly watching — catching the half-drunk toasts, the slipping flower crown, the quiet pause before someone begins to cry.

I photograph weddings that feel like home — grounded, beautiful, and full of care.

You’re likely an artist, a therapist, a designer — someone who notices the light through trees, who chooses meaning over trend. You care deeply about where and how people gather. So do I.

Most of my couples marry in places that carry weight: a family home in the San Juans, a public garden they visit every Friday, a summer camp rich with childhood memory.

I’m based in Portland and travel across the West Coast and beyond to document weddings with heart, artistry, and quiet attention.

The weddings I photograph are calm, grounded, and editorial in style — with an eye toward what matters most.

You won’t find flashy language here. Just honest imagery. Photographs that hold what words often can’t.

If you're drawn to beauty that lingers and quiet moments that speak for themselves — welcome. I’d be honored to document your day.

This isn’t about stiff poses or performative moments. It’s about presence.
About breathing through the joy, the nerves, the quiet in-between.

I’ll be the steady hand in the swirl — gently guiding, laughing with you, helping you exhale.

My work centers on atmosphere, emotion, and the beauty of what’s real.
Think of me as your thoughtful observer. Your enthusiastic third wheel.
The one who notices what matters — and photographs it with soul.

Now booking for 2025 and 2026.

If you're drawn to the feeling in these images, I’d love to hear about your wedding plans. Every story is different—let’s find the approach that feels most like you.

“Kelli felt like a sister — calm, kind, and completely present. She held space for us with such compassion that every anxious moment just melted away. The photos? We look at them all the time. Our friends say they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen — and our East Coast family said they felt like they were there with us. 5000% yes, we’d do it all again just to have Kelli by our side.” - Emily and Ryan

“Kelli photographed our elopement in Muir Woods, and not only did she deliver the most beautiful photos, but she also became a soulful sidekick throughout the day. She even inspired a post-wedding hike in the Marin Headlands that brought my Victorian-gothic-romance dreams to life. Her artistry and sweet nature made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The images are filled with emotion, and the colors perfectly capture each moment. We feel so lucky to have found Kelli; she’ll always be part of our wedding memories!” - Rebecca Darling

I photograph weddings the same way I live — by following the light. In the laughter, in the way the sun moves across your loved one’s face, in the tender moments. I’m here to capture your day with honesty, artistry, and care.
