“She became a soulful sidekick. Her images are emotional and cinematic—like memories you can feel.” -R&D

I don’t believe in perfect weddings.

I believe in real ones; where joy bubbles up unexpectedly, where tears are welcome, and where love lingers in the quietest corners.
Where you feel safe, deeply seen, and never asked to perform.

My clients are thoughtful, soulful people; sometimes therapists, sometimes artists, always the kind who believe beauty should be meaningful and love should be felt deeply.

They choose places that mean something; whether it's a childhood home, a favorite public garden, or the city where they fell in love.

You’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re choosing who you’ll spend your wedding day with.

Someone who sees the unspoken moments.
Who knows when to guide and when to disappear.
Who puts your comfort above all else.

You deserve to feel safe, not staged.
You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to be anyone but yourself.

I’ll walk with you through this process with care, clarity, and a grounded presence, so you can exhale and fully enjoy this day with the people you love.

New here? Hi, I’m Kelli. :)

I live in Portland with my partner Cody and our dog, Rue, my sweet and crazy border collie mix who keeps us moving even in the rain. I’m the youngest of four sisters, which means I grew up listening closely, observing dynamics, learning how people love.

I studied international relations at the University of Texas, thinking I’d work for the UN someday. But somewhere along the way, I found photojournalism and everything changed. The idea that you could make something beautiful and tell the truth? That was it for me.

Since then, I’ve photographed for brands like Google and TOAST Magazine, and my work has been featured in Vogue Italia. But honestly? What I care about most is how people feel when they’re in front of my lens; safe, unfiltered, deeply seen.

I shoot because I love it with every breath of my heart. Light feels holy to me. So does trust. So does tenderness. If I have the honor of documenting your wedding, I’ll be all in; steady, present, and quietly attuned to the moments that matter most.

“Kelli felt like a sister—calm, kind, and completely present. 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.” - E&R

Your wedding photography isn’t just a service. It’s a quiet act of care.
These are the images you’ll look back on for decades—ones that hold not just how it looked, but how it felt.
My packages are designed to support you fully, from our first conversation to the final delivery, so you never have to wonder if anything important was missed.

Full-day wedding coverage begins at $7,500.
Elopements begin at $4,500.
Multi-day and destination celebrations begin at $10,000.

As I grow this next chapter in my wedding work, I'm offering limited 2025 availability at current rates. This early pricing is available for a short time as I build out my calendar.

If this feels like the right fit, I’d be honored to hear from you.
