More than beautiful. Meaningful.

Poetic, editorial wedding photography for couples who see their day as a living work of art.

Weddings that feel like home.

I photograph couples who surround themselves with love—who gather the people who matter most in places that hold meaning.

These aren't productions. They're intimate, intentional celebrations where the quiet details speak louder than the spectacle. A family home on the coast. A garden you've visited together for years. Handwritten vows. Light through the trees as dinner unfolds.

My work is calm, editorial, and honest. I follow the light, hold space for emotion, and document what’s unfolding without turning it into a performance.

I’m based in Portland and travel across the West Coast and beyond, documenting weddings for people who value presence over perfection, care more about meaning than trend, and find beauty in the smallest details.

“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
